The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 168 A Reasonable Accident

The time has officially come to the New Day of the Third Age 2946, which is January in the Númenor calendar.

Even after the coldest season of the year has passed, not all areas in the upper valley of the Anduin River have returned to a warm climate. The severe cold that has raged for two full months is still north of the Golden Iris River. Be fierce, but that's all there is to it.

Thousands of cavalry from Wilderness Town, after passing through the river where the High King of the Númenoreans were once buried, they really stepped into the wilderness.

Because the villagers of Iowia have only repaired the road to this place so far, and then there are green plains and small forests that are about to sprout new shoots.

Different from the endless black forest in the distance, these woods are like gems dotted on the wilderness, and in this season, they will start to emit a little bit of emerald green light that belongs to them.

But all of this can't be compared with Rose Lorien, which is full of flowers in all seasons. Standing on the south bank of the Anduin River, Allen can barely see Kailin Amroth clearly with the binoculars in his hand.

It was an ancient hill emitting a faint golden light, and the golden light was the flower of the Mallon tree. Amroth, the elven king of Lothlórien, once lived in this place.

The place closer to Allen is actually Calas Galathon where Mrs. Galadriel lives. It is on the west bank of the Anduin River, but Allen still held back his curiosity and did not go to peep Behold the city of Galazmen.

Allen really doesn't dare to bet on whether Mrs. Galadriel, who has many abilities, can sense her wait-and-see, and this is always impolite behavior, and Kailin Amroth has nothing to do with it. After the love story of Loth and Nindelore, there were not many elves living there.

However, this did not delay Alan from popularizing the knowledge of this land to the friends around him. Now besides his two attendants, Gail and Baron, only the Durin dwarf Fei is left to see the scenery by his side. and Legolas the Sindar.

And Kress, Kress and Grimm had already gone to communicate with the nearby animals, or to put it bluntly, just went to play, and also pushed the chores of leading many cavalry camps to Malhebi.

But Malhebi is used to it, and there are a large number of officers in the cavalry who are familiar with this matter, so this is not a particularly troublesome matter.

"Pay attention to everyone, the elves living here generally call themselves Galaz people, because they all like to build a kind of tree house called "talan" on the tree, and live in it, they can also be called tree people, And the lords who rule here are Lord Celeborn, the royal family of Sindar, and his wife, Galadriel, known as the "Lady of the Golden Forest."

Allen said here, turned his head to look at most of the friends who didn't know what to say, and continued: "I said this to let you know that the Galazmen who like to live in trees are extremely good at using bows and arrows, and He has keen hearing, so if it is not necessary, do not step into this forest. In addition, Mrs. Galadriel and Lord Celeborn have a very high reputation among the people of Galaz, and they themselves have far surpassed The wisdom and strength of ordinary people, if you accidentally enter Los Lorien and are discovered by the Galaz people, don't resist, and show respect to them, especially the two adults who rule here, understand?"

In fact, Allen hoped that the information would be as popular as possible, because his territory is not far away from here. With the development of the territory and the increasing population, Allen cannot guarantee whether his people will It's always good to get here by mistake, spread it to your younger brothers in advance, and then spread it to the territory.

Although the elves will not shoot and kill kind humans who stray into their territory, it does not mean that they can tolerate humans destroying their homes. What can humans do in this period when they enter the forest?It will not be for afforestation.

Farther south in Gondor, there is a rumor that this place is extremely dangerous. Few of the human beings who enter this forest can come out unharmed. It can be seen that many southerners have suffered here.

"I've always heard that this place is not deserted, but I didn't expect that there are so many relatives living here. I think if they just pass by instead of destroying their homes, then the elves living here will still give them away in the dark. The lost traveler points the way."

Looking at the forest in front of him, Legolas seemed to be lost in memory.

"My own people passed by here a long time ago, and they lived in the forest opposite Lorien. There is a hill called Amon Lanc, which has been occupied by the enemy now. The fortress of terror and evil has become a hiding place for the enemy, even now, the evil there still cannot be completely eliminated, and the dark creatures it breeds have always been hidden in the forest, and there are signs of becoming active again."

As he said that, Legolas turned his head back with a solemn face, and looked at Dol Guldur, who was looming in the black forest. From a distance, it was still shrouded in darkness, like a gloomy and deep mountain. Even the sun has no power to fully illuminate the wall, not to mention the sun has already set to the west of the Misty Mountains.

Allen patted Legolas on the shoulder with some difficulty, and said, "Don't worry, as long as we stand by each other and raise our unyielding swords to the enemy, sooner or later, the evil in the forest will be wiped out." Purify, and you can also return to your hometown."

As an ordinary human being, Alan's height is only between 1.8 meters and 1.9 meters, but Legolas' height is more than two meters. This form of comfort is really difficult for Alan.

Legolas shook his head when he heard it. He knew that even if the forest was purified, there would not be enough people living in the Woodland Kingdom.

Moreover, he can also feel that the light belonging to the elves has been dimming, although it has been slow but never stopped. It is enough to eliminate the evil, and there is not much need to return to the hometown.

"Everyone, is the beautiful scenery in the distance enough to soothe your hungry stomachs?"

The one who spoke was Malhebi who came from not far away. When he came to Alan's side, he respectfully said to the king: "Your Majesty, it's time to eat."

Hearing such news, Allen nodded, ready to announce the meal, while Legolas shook his head with a smile on his face, indicating that he could wait for a while.

The hundreds of kilometers from Wilderness Town to here, the troops going south to support Gondor have been trying their best to hurry. It can be said that they are wearing stars and moons, eating and sleeping in the open, and since they crossed the Golden Iris River, the road has become a lot more difficult. The brigade The cavalry can only be dispersed into small teams, walking through the wilderness and jungle.

And Allen, with his own cavalry and dwarf troops, has been trying to move forward along the banks of the Anduin River as much as possible. After all, some river banks are very flat, which is relatively easy to walk, and it is also easy to march like this. Water is relatively easy to obtain.

Along the way, they basically lived on dry food. It’s been a long time. No matter how well prepared and varied the food is, they will eventually get tired of eating these dry food. Delicious honey cake is the first Those who were eaten up, who made this pastry everyone like it.

After leading the troops to the other side of the river in Los Lorien, Allen's team camped here. At least two days' rest was needed to let the tired soldiers recover, and at the same time, the horses that had begun to lose weight were supplemented with some nutrition, so that To cope with the further journey behind.

And Lindir came here before that, but not too long earlier than Alan. After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Lindir led a small group of elf cavalry into Rose Lorien.

Such a large-scale army must be impossible to enter the Golden Forest for repairs, just as Allen also prepared a large camp near Wilderness Town to accommodate the elves who came to support, and it is impossible to let everyone enter the city to live. .

Allen stayed here to sit in town to deal with possible unexpected situations. After all, not far from here is the fortress Dol Guldur where the enemy once hid. Although the darkness has been dormant for a long time, it has not been wiped out after all. .

At night, under the moonlight, the many camps stationed on the banks of the Anduin River were full of people.

Now that he had decided to take a good rest here, Legolas sent a small group of elf cavalry before dark to hunt and kill two irritable bison in the nearby wilderness, preparing to show Alan Try a woodland elf's barbecue kung fu.

Alan, who had no objection to this, acted like magic, and took out a few barrels of wine produced in Pendor from the supplies consigned by the horses. Although the quantity was not large, it was enough for everyone to drink a small glass.

Now, there are delicious wines, barbecues provided by the woodland elves, and various staple foods prepared by Malhebi, and simple bonfire banquets one after another. It was held in large and small camps.

Even though he allowed most of his men to indulge a little bit tonight, Allen still maintained a certain degree of vigilance. He arranged patrol posts around the camp, and at the same time let half of the sharp-eyed Noldo The rangers were divided into several teams and hid in the surrounding small jungle.

Once they find something unexpected, they will immediately blow the horn in their hands to report to the soldiers in the camp.

Not only tonight is special, after leaving Iowia, Allen will make such an arrangement every night to avoid being attacked by the enemy in the middle of the night.

Because the wilderness further south of Iowia has been out of Allen's sphere of influence, there are no patrols here, and no one is watching, and no one can guarantee whether this wilderness is safe.

As for the bonfire banquet tonight, he and his personal guards did not participate in it, but left after showing their faces, but even Allen forgot in the midst of being busy, going out to play crazy Kress and Grimm have not shown their faces until now.

These two are also daring masters, especially Kress, after Alan's permission "to go around and get familiar with the terrain", when he took Grim to familiarize himself with the terrain, he was actually familiar with the black. On the edge of the forest, and not far away is the Hex Fortress.

When Grim, who transformed into a bear, smelled the stench of the warg, the sound of howling wolves was not far away from them. Soon, dozens of black wolves sprang out from the distant forest. The figure approached them, it was Sauron's vicious minion wolf cavalry.

It can be said that Grim and the half-orcs have an unforgettable hatred, even if these dirty guys in front of them are not half-orcs from the Misty Mountains, on the wooden shields they hold, there is a terrifying blood-red eyelidless eye .

And Kress is not the one who is timid. Her right hand directly pulled out the elite scimitar from her waist, and then inserted it into the ground, while her left hand also took out several sharp throwing knives from her pocket.

With her excellent throwing skills, this thing is equally deadly to orcs in leather armor with their heads exposed, or to those grinning wargs.

With the rapid charge of the wolf cavalry, the distance between the two sides is also getting closer. After locking on to the target, Grimm quickly pounced on it with a pair of blood-red eyes. When his huge body landed, it was like a thunderbolt. Generally, it exploded in the formation of wolf cavalry.

Several wolf cavalrymen had no time to react, and were directly knocked out by the galloping bear. Afterwards, Grimm grabbed a rolling wolf on the ground, using its body as an extension, striding forward. At the same time, it spun on the spot, and instantly knocked several wolf cavalrymen around it to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, he threw the wolf in his mouth away, and knocked down two wolf cavalry who were running further away.

The few wolf cavalrymen who were lucky enough to run past Grim brandished their rusty scimitars in fear, and rushed towards Kress who was standing still.

When they attacked Gondor, they had never seen such a fierce and violent creature.

And Kress didn't panic when he saw the wolf cavalry rushing towards him, but muttered "one", "two", "three", "four" and "five" to himself.

As she kept chanting, the sharp flying knives originally held in her left hand kept disappearing, and she threw them directly at the enemy from her right hand with afterimages, and then those flying knives miraculously appeared on the necks and faces of the orcs. Superior deadly parts.

It wasn't until all the throwing knives in his hand were thrown that Kress pulled out the scimitar on the ground, then quickly took two steps to the right, avoiding the pounce of a black wolf, and then swung his right arm, A gleaming silver knife struck at the neck of the evil wolf in front of her. While a stream of blood was being drawn, she rolled directly forward, avoiding the bite of another wolf.

At this moment, of the five wolf cavalrymen, only three wolves were left, and they rushed directly to the other side of Kress, and then the three wolves, one man and three wolves, began to confront each other with their teeth bared at a distance of several meters.

But Grimm had already killed all the enemies in front of him.

　In fact, I sometimes think about how long the bear-changing ability of the skin-changing man can last. Later, I found the answer from the original book of the Hobbit. In theory, it is at least four days or more, that is, after Grimm lent the horse to the dwarves. , In fact, I have been following them all the way, in the posture of bears, and then how powerful they are after they become bears. In the original book, they are very powerful. I ran back and forth from the place where the dwarves and the half-orcs fought. It was not so conspicuous in the movie. It was strong but not particularly strong. In fact, when I read the original book, I was thinking why the half-orcs drove them out of their homes. , there are some doubts.
