The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 186 On the Road
In the Plains of Pelennor surrounding Minas Tirith, there is a main road connecting most of the kingdoms of Gondor, which is called the South Road by the surrounding residents.

The road is very wide and paved with thick stone slabs, which can greatly increase the walking speed of passers-by and the army.

On the east side of the road, there is a parallel stretch of green grass, which is a place for horses and cavalry to run fast.

Even with the protection of horseshoes, even if the horses run wildly on the stone road, it is not a good thing for the horse and the road.

There are many small roads staggered across the plain, connecting many farms, orchards, fields and the South Avenue.

It was the time of spring and summer, and a large number of residents of Gondor were farming on both sides of the road. There were also some merchants or farmers who drove their carts to transport the stored grain to the surrounding markets for sale.

As far as the South Road can go, it is the hills of Erech further west of Lamedon.

On the top of that hill was half-buried a great spherical black stone, called the Black Stone of Erech, which was the testimony of the King of the Mountain People when he swore his allegiance to Isildur.

When the South Road passes through the beautiful and rich valley of Los Arnach, it comes to the Ejouy River, the river closest to the north in the Lebenning area.

This is the shortest and fastest river in Gondor, and it also witnessed the moment of the decline of the Kingdom of Gondor.

Because the bloody civil war that swept across Gondor ended in the shallows of this river.

At this time, a mixed army of humans, elves, and dwarves was resting for a short time near this place.

This is naturally the reinforcements led by Allen and Cirdan.

The river water flowing down from the White Mountains can replenish the water consumed by the troops.

And there is a large plain with rich water and grass nearby, which is just suitable for the horses in the team to have a full meal.

There are some orchards and farms not far from the road, and there are even wine cellars in the orchards.

This is a very suitable place for the army to take a short rest.

Although at the meeting in the King City of Gondor, the result of the discussion was to wait for the fleet from Gray Harbor, but that only slowed down the plan to attack the enemy.

This does not mean that the support army from the north will stay in Minas Tirith for a long time.

For the current war, this is a very wasteful behavior.

This cavalry force of thousands of people only rested for one night in Minas Tirith, and set off from the majestic White City the next morning.

Allen didn't know how Cirdan got the news, but the elf troops would go to Belfalas to join the elf fleet that had already arrived there.

And Allen decided to take his cavalry to Lebenning, and cooperate with the elves' fleet to drive out the pirates who were raging there.

Those floating on the sea were handed over to Cirdan's fleet, while those that had already set foot on the coast, Allen decided to do it himself.

At this time, the people of Dúnedain, because of Aragorn's service by Alan's side, have all been under Alan's command.

This greatly enhanced the power that Allen could command.

The place where the team rested was about [-] kilometers away from Minas Tirith, and the time had already come to noon that day.

In fact, after taking a short break here, Allen and Cirdan were going to lead the team to leave here, cross the shallows in front of them, and find a suitable place to camp and rest before the night approached.

Because going forward more than 100 kilometers is Pelakir, one of the most intensely fought battlefields between Mordor and Gondor.

Around here, there is also Baicheng's reconnaissance force responsible for collecting nearby intelligence.

After crossing this river, it may not be as safe as it is now.

For this reason, Allen and Cirdan also need their own soldiers, who can maintain a fairly good mental state at all times to deal with crises that may come at any time.

After all, on the battlefield, the situation changes rapidly, and no one knows what will happen in the next moment. It is always better to be cautious.

At this time, Allen was telling the children around him with a serious face about the family struggle that happened here.

He felt that such a tragic matter deserved the vigilance of any force.

On the other hand, Cirdan was standing on the bank of the Ejouy River, as if he was listening to something, and the expression on his face gradually became serious.

At this time, Legolas' voice came from a nearby hill: "Someone came from the south, five cavalry, their condition is very poor, their armor is not complete, and their horses are tired. No, their There's a wolf behind you!?"

Compared with humans, elves' vision is much stronger.

Not only can you see things clearly in a dim environment, but you can also see the situation more than ten kilometers away at high places.

Among the elves, Legolas had the most outstanding eyesight.

And Aragorn, who heard the call of the elf, blew his whistle immediately, called his mount, got on his horse and followed the away Legolas.

The performance of this young man along the way has made Allen recognize his ability. At least in the face of small-scale enemies, Aragorn can protect himself enough.

Following the two of them was a small team of dozens of Dúnedain and woodland elves, and they shouldered the responsibility of guardianship.

Naturally, he couldn't just watch his patriarch and prince, the two of them rushing to the danger in the distance together.

In addition, Kress and Grimm who quickly left with Allen's acquiescence were following along.

Since being hunted down, the two of them have performed very well, and they hardly leave Allen's side without orders.

Since there are enemies in front of us, it's okay to ask Kress to investigate.

Originally, Allen himself wanted to see what happened, but Cirdan stopped him.

The voice of the elf king rang in Allen's brain, telling Allen some critical news.

The short rest of the team ended at this point, and everyone began to prepare for the long journey.

After all, the distance from Pelakir to here is at least 120 kilometers. If it is fast enough, it may be possible to get there before the city is broken.

The one who delivered the news to Cirdan was actually his friend of tens of thousands of years, Maia Uni.

This is a female Ainu who serves the king of the ocean and the ruler of the waters. She has a very good relationship with the Teleri of the elves, especially the Farmari who reached Valinor and the Faras people who live by the sea.

Due to Vera's order, Maiyauuni could not directly participate in the war in Middle-earth, but this time the people who sailed south were all her favorite Faras people, so she followed all the way and witnessed what happened in the Tragedy near Pelakir.

It's a pity that she couldn't make a move, and couldn't make any attack on Angmar who was acting fierce on the water. She could only tell the specific news to Cirdan who led the troops here through the singing voice transmitted in the water.

On the other hand, Uni is also glad that she is the one who came here.

If it was her husband Ossi, the irascible Maia would probably set off a storm to punish those evil enemies, but that would undoubtedly arouse the dissatisfaction of the Valar, and it would be an unwise act.

The news that Allen got was naturally also the news that Perakir had been besieged, and the news was not only that.

Because Prince Dom Aros' troops stationed outside the city sacrificed at least half of his forces during the breakout.

Moreover, the most elite cavalry troops also followed Aladhill all the way north, preparing to go to Minas Tirith for help.

This made the human troops retreating into Pelakir no longer have the strength to go out of the city to fight the enemy.

With no checks and balances on the orc army, they immediately launched a vicious and vicious plunder against the residents of Gondor living in the surrounding areas. They not only robbed supplies, but also enslaved innocent residents to serve them and build the equipment used to siege the city.

If nothing else happened, the orc army's attack on Pelakir would probably start in the second half of tonight or tomorrow evening.

Faced with the sudden change, Allen naturally couldn't just watch Pelakir being captured by the enemy, which would allow the pirate ships to drive straight along the Anduin River and enter Osgiliath.

Well, with the help of a large number of ships, the Haralds there can naturally give full play to their superiority in numbers.

Alan didn't want to fight an offensive and defensive battle of Baicheng with the enemy in Pelenno Plain, that would be too passive.

Soon, the troops set foot on the broad South Avenue again, heading all the way to Pelakir.

It's just that their rushing pace is a little more hasty than before.

After walking for several miles, Allen saw everyone who had returned safe and sound.

Judging by the blood on their weapons, the worgs chasing their prey should have fallen dead by the roadside.

In addition, they also rescued the five cavalrymen who were fleeing for their lives, and Aragorn's horse was carrying a comatose young man on his back.

His face was very haggard, and even in a coma, the expression on his face revealed an expression of restlessness.

And Aragorn, who rode to Alan's side, told Alan exactly what he saw.

It was nothing more than a small group of ferocious wargs chasing and killing these five extremely exhausted knights.

And as Legolas and Aragorn led their subordinates to arrive, the team of wolves were either killed by guns in a hurry, or died by the elves' bows and arrows while fleeing.

After seeing the elves, the five people who ran for their lives didn't even have time to be surprised. They just shouted the news that "Pelakir is in danger".Most of them passed out.

Only one person had a brief conversation with Aragorn who had dismounted.

And the horses under their crotch, due to the long run, stopped and died directly by the side of the road.

Although the distance from Pelakir to here is only more than 100 kilometers, under the entanglement of the wargs, it is impossible for this team of knights to run wildly along the Great Southern Road.

After going back and forth, fighting with the enemy, sending people to the rear, and so on, they finally arrived at the vicinity of the Ejouy River. The distance they traveled was beyond calculation.

In Alan's view, this is reasonable, because he has received corresponding news from Cirdan that the Witch King of Angmar is definitely not an easy person.

It's just the elite knights of the Dom Aros family, and there are only five left at this time, which makes Allen sigh.

However, from Aragorn's last words, there was a piece of news that surprised Allen. This young man was carrying the No. 20 generation of Prince Dom Aros.

Of course Allen knew that Adra Hill, who was less than 30 years old, had not inherited the title of prince at this time.

But it is obvious that Angelimir entrusted the burden of asking for help to his son, and at the same time gave his son a chance of life. If the support fails, all the defenders of Pelakir will die. .

The seemingly dangerous rescue mission is the most promising way of life.

Allen didn't treat the five people who were in a coma. They just ran wildly for most of the day, and also fought several games with the entangled enemies.

The current coma is nothing more than tiredness. Drink some water and rest on horseback and you will recover soon.

At this time, Legolas, who was approaching, said to Allen: "That young human seems to have the blood of an elf."

Allen nodded, and responded to Legolas' doubts: "Yes, because that young man is the direct heir of the Dol Amroth family, the only son of Angalimir, and his elven blood comes from Ninderro Er's companion, well, is the love story you told Aragorn."

Legolas nodded with relief, and at this moment, Adrasil, who was in a coma, woke up.

According to the customs of the Númenoreans, Adrasil was actually a young man at this time, and he was actually just married at the age of 30.

Adrasil, who realized that he was restrained on horseback, reacted a little violently at this time. Aragorn, who was in an unexpected situation, wanted to appease the horse under his crotch and hold on to the tall young man in front of him. For a while, there was a bit of a rush.

After all, a child who is only 15 years old.

It was no wonder that Adrasil was like this. He vaguely remembered that before he passed out, there was a young man exuding radiance who was taking care of him, listening to his request, and calming his emotions.

At the same time, the young man told him that an elite cavalry unit had already embarked on the road to Pelakir. At this point, Adrasil, who was relieved, couldn't hold on any longer and passed out directly.

"Young man, please calm down. The current team is on its way. If there is a disturbance because of you, it is always a bad thing."

A voice full of majesty and a sense of security comforted Adra Hill so that he would no longer struggle.

Soon, Allen arranged a strong gray horse for Adra Hill, and after a short self-introduction, Allen also learned some news about the enemy from the young man.

This allowed him to communicate with Cirdan again, and hastened the march.

The enemy's strength should be increasing all the time, the sooner they get there the better.
