The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 80 Mordor
After the Anduin Valley enters the Frost Moon, the temperature will drop day by day. As the last month of each year, this situation will generally last until after the new year, when the temperature will improve.

Today, Maiya Aryan seems to be absent-minded, driving the spaceship carrying the sun, dodging in the clouds.

Wilderness Town lacks sunlight, and the temperature is much lower than usual. Under normal circumstances, most people are not very willing to go out of their homes.

But now, the wilderness town is full of busy people, forming a lively scene in the bitter cold wind.

Because the annual New Year's banquet will be held in a few days.

Jamila, who is mainly in charge of this matter, issued an order to prepare for the New Year's banquet in the name of the cabinet a few days ago.

Under the call of the lord's order, a large number of villagers signed up enthusiastically, and began to assist the officials under the cabinet, making various preparations for the start of the banquet.

In the cold wind, they wore thick clothes, with enthusiastic smiles on their faces, and cooperated with each other to build a large number of tents around the venue.

From time to time, people drove horse-drawn carts or ox carts to bring a large amount of firewood from outside the city and piled it into the brick bonfire.

Judging from the work enthusiasm of these citizens and the expressions on their faces, they are in a good mood.

I don't know if this good mood is for the reward Allen gave, or for the upcoming carnival.

It should have started the year before last. On the day of the New Year's banquet, the residents of Wilderness Town would put on their best clothes to attend the banquet held by the lord.

Some versatile residents will also set up a stage for performances in the banquet venue, and under the reflection of the rising bonfire, they will perform some spontaneously organized programs to make the banquet more lively.

This year's lord of Wilderness Town, because his pockets are bulging, in order to reward this positive attitude, he even took out some silver coins and prepared to award them to those residents who prepared to perform.

From these signs, it can be seen that this year's banquet will be even more lively.

What makes the residents even more happy is that on this day, their lord will invite all the citizens who participated in the banquet to dinner. There are not many opportunities for this, usually only once a year.

Although it is said that mellow wine is not allowed to drink freely under the lord's regulations, delicious food can be eaten as much as you like.

As long as you like, as long as you don't waste it, as long as there is something in the banquet, you can eat whatever you want, as long as you want, until midnight, when the banquet is over.

In previous years, the food prepared by Allen has never been shabby. You can eat beef, sheep, deer, and fish openly, and you can also participate in the food cooked in various ways such as frying, roasting, stewing, and boiling. The leader's choice for banquets.

This year's banquet may have many different flavors, such as air-dried meat, sausages, and Hobbit delicacies from the Shire.

There are also many varieties of staple food. The chefs will prepare some honey bread, meatloaf, buns, etc., but these staple foods may not be particularly liked by the residents, so just prepare less, otherwise they will have to be eaten after the banquet. distributed door to door,

The assortment of delicacies prepared by Allen at the banquet is simply a rare thing for the townspeople in Wilderness Town who have just struggled to get enough food and clothing. Most residents can understand that this is the lord's kindness and cooperation. mercy.

What is different this year is that the banquet for the victory in the Battle of Gushan will be held together with the New Year's banquet.

Allen's plan is to hold it from noon to night, which is double the happiness for most people in Wilderness Town.

Originally, Allen planned to issue medals to soldiers who participated in the war during the afternoon of the banquet, or to sacrifice the soldiers' families, and hold a ceremony in front of all the townspeople to increase the soldiers' sense of honor and loyalty .

But the dwarves are too strict about the gold-carved ornaments. According to Frey's original words, "Everything that comes out of our dwarves must be fine."

As a result, Allen asked how much time it would take, and Frey replied that it would take at least until next summer.

So this matter can only be shelved for the time being, but the medal must be issued. All Allen ordered Fatis to arrange all the officers and issued relevant notices to the soldiers. After the medal is ready, a ceremony will be held to award it give them.

"Guys, speed up. Lord Allen has given instructions. As long as the venue is set up and a warm day is chosen, the banquet can begin."

"it is good!!!"

As the officers shouted, there was a loud response from below. These were the soldiers who had returned from the Black Forest.

During this operation, they did not find anything unusual in the Black Forest. After receiving the news, Allen felt a little more at ease.

After these soldiers came back, they immediately participated in the construction of the venue under the leadership of the officers.

With their help, the speed of setting up the venue has been greatly accelerated. It may not take more than two days to complete it all, and it will be time for the carnival.

And in the far southeast of Wilderness Town, there is also a very busy place, which is a dark place surrounded by Ash Mountains and Shadow Mountains.

This is Mordor, the headquarters of the Dark Lord Sauron painstakingly managed. The sky here is full of dark clouds all the year round, and it is an evil place where even the sun cannot shine.

To the northwest of here is an extremely desolate plain, which is called Gorgoroth by people.

This plain is full of smoky, ash-filled deserts. Since the sun is not seen all year round, it is extremely difficult to see any good life here except for the dark stones and gravel that can be seen everywhere.

However, there are a large number of half-orcs living in this place that makes good people fear, and they have built a large number of dilapidated houses here.

They are either tents made of various fabrics, or simple outposts built of wood or stone. These various, criss-cross houses form one ugly half-orc gathering point after another.

But the countless gray-black half-orcs live like a fish in water in this sunless environment with harsh air.

It is worthy of being the minions of the Dark Lord, and it is also worthy of being the life specially transformed by Morgoth to destroy beautiful things.

The Ash Mountains and Shadow Mountains surrounding Mordor are extremely high, protecting this evil land very well.

If someone wants to send a large army to subdue Sauron, the dark lord who threatened Middle-earth in two eras, then the Udon Valley between these two mountains may be their only choice.

But what makes people desperate is that on the outskirts of Udon Valley, Sauron used the power of the Supreme Lord of the Rings to build the Gate of Morannon.

It is also often called the Black Gate, a huge metal gate flanked by eerie towers of fangs.

Sauron's minions patrolled it day and night, overlooking the death swamp and the war plain outside the black gate.

If you want to attack Sauron's base camp through here, you must either use flying units to seize control of the gate by surprise attack, or you must be prepared to use the lives of soldiers to fill the enemy to death.

If there are a few people, they can also climb all the way through Minas Morgul to Ulys-Ugol, and enter Mordor from there, which is the route chosen by Frodo in the movie.

In addition, the Harlanders in the south and the Runes in the north are sticking to the two sides of Mordor. As long as they attack either side, they are likely to be flanked by at least two groups of enemies. It has to be said that Sauron will manage this place. It's like an iron bucket.

Ashes Mountains and Shadow Mountains are full of snow all year round, which is extremely difficult for ordinary people to pass through. When the snow is warm, it will also turn into snow water and flow down the slopes, and finally merge into the Nur Neng Inner Sea.

Of course, it would be closer to say that it is a dark and huge lake.

Around this lake is a large piece of fertile land called Nurn, located in the south of Mordor.

There are a large number of naked and skinny human slaves farming the land. Sauron will use most of the food they produce to feed the army he has gathered, and what is left to those human slaves is only able to It's just to ensure that they don't starve to death, or what if they starve to death?Sauron didn't care.

Being starved to death is actually not the most desperate thing. What is even more desperate is that if this world does not change, then the descendants of these human slaves will also be Sauron's slaves forever.

And the number of these human slaves has been increasing in these years, and most of them come from the territory of Gondor.

However, the only thing that comforted these humans in the midst of despair was that the land of Nurn was one of the few places in Mordor where they could see the sun.

But now, there are some poor human beings who have come to the plain of Gorgolos, where the sun cannot be seen. They were driven by the half-orcs to the end of the long slope of the Ash Mountains. This is the former site of Barad-dur. A more familiar name is the Black Tower, or the Eye of Sauron.

This is the base camp of the Dark Lord ruling the Mordor region, overlooking the entire plain of Gorgolos and the vast land beyond the Black Gate.

At the end of the second era, during the siege of Barad-dur, after the One Ring was cut off from Sauron's hand by Isildur's sword, Sauron's form was destroyed, and at that time Baralad Dur was also destroyed, but as the One Ring was not cast into the Flames of Doom by Isildur, the foundations of Barad-dur have remained to this day.

Sauron's loyal servants, the nine Nazgul have been silently preparing for their master's return for hundreds of years, and now the time has come.

In fact, Sauron's original body was buried with the entire island when Númenor Star Island sank, and only his soul escaped from the sea at that time.

The body that Sauron killed Gil Galad and Elendil at the end of the second era was formed by relying on the power of the Supreme Lord of the Rings, so at that time, the Supreme Lord of the Rings had just been beheaded by Isildur In the next moment, Sauron's soul couldn't hold on and suffered heavy injuries.

Now, back in Mordor, Sauron urgently needs the power of Barad-dur to help his soul maintain a stable form.

It's just that those human slaves who were driven here, in such an extremely harsh environment, coupled with the inhuman beatings of Uruk, will soon die here and fall into the mouth of some evil things.

"crack" "crack" "crack"

"Scumbags, move faster, haven't you eaten yet?"

The shouting Uruk supervisors waved their whips recklessly, beating the human slaves who were working.

And their kind, the ordinary half-orcs whom they jokingly called Snaga, also couldn't escape the fate of being whipped.

It turned out that in order to speed up the construction, the nine Nazgul also summoned quite a few Snaga to build the Tower of Baladur together with human slaves, so that their master would not be like a puff of black smoke in the sky every day. Floating around.

At this time, the black smoke was flying back and forth fiercely in the high sky near Barad-dur, and under the envelope of the black smoke was a team of wolf cavalry who was reporting the situation to him.

Obviously, only the news of Azog's defeat and death in Gushan could make Sauron so excited.

A gloomy sound came from the sky to the surroundings along with the black smoke.

"The plan has failed, Azog is dead, stupid humans, greedy dwarves, weak elves, they will perish."

While Sauron's mind was spinning, Kehamur in the Nazgul drove the flying beast under him to the northeast, where the runes lived.

The ring spirit will follow the master's order to summon the leader of a Dongyi tribe, but Hamur knows that soon the east of Rovanian will no longer be peaceful.

Allen knew nothing about Mordor's movements, and he was sitting opposite Kress now, thinking about how to speak.

At this moment, Kress, who was sitting upright, was thinking crazily in his mind whether he had done anything recently that would make Allen angry.

"Could it be that Allen found out about teasing Yatiman before? No, you should have scolded me a long time ago!"

"Could it be that I was secretly wearing sister Yamila's necklace and someone saw it? That's not right, I'll return it right away? I remember there was no one around?"

Kress, who was sitting in a chair, went through all his recent memories, but couldn't find the reason why he was suddenly summoned by Allen alone.

This kind of special treatment made her feel a little scared in her heart.

Kress, who lived in poverty since she was a child, has actually seen quite a lot of the dark side of human nature. When she was young, the ugly face of her relatives when they robbed her family's land left a deep impression on her young heart.

As she grew up little by little, and even started to help the lord and do some shady things, the dark side of human nature she saw became more and more complicated.

At that time, Kress believed that all lords or nobles were the kind of guys who were glamorous on the surface but filthy on the inside.

Fortunately, her life didn't last long. One day, she met Alan who was being besieged in the back alley of a tavern in Veruga.

At that time, the lord was only the leader of a small mercenary regiment, and his fighting power was far from as powerful as it is now.

In the back alley of the tavern, Allen held a gleaming sharp scimitar in his hand, entangled with several masked assassins in the snow.

Under the leadership of caring people, the hustle and bustle in the tavern even covered the sound of their fierce fighting.

Kress passing by could tell at a glance that the besieged young man was almost unable to hold on, and his life would disappear on the snow here at any time.

Originally, according to Kress' personality at the time, she probably wouldn't mind this kind of nosy business.

At that time, Alan's attire could be seen as a young man from a noble family. The Calradia continent was in such chaos that countless nobles died under the assassination.

Rescue a noble youth?Kress lacked interest in this.

However, fate obviously has a little arrangement for this little girl. Of course, it is also possible that the masked assassins acted too insignificantly, which touched Kress's sense of justice hidden in his heart.

With the help of a few throwing knives, Allen quickly eliminated the enemy in front of him. Since then, Kress has followed Allen. She was less than 14 years old at the time.

And the top-quality elite scimitar in Allen's hand, and the top-quality steed later named "Sapphire", were also given to Kress by Allen as a thank you gift at that time.

Since then, Kress who followed Allen started a different life.

Under Alan's care and reprimand, the little girl has changed a lot, but over the years, this daring little girl has lingering fears about Alan's reprimand.

Therefore, whenever Allen summoned her alone, she would feel that she was on the verge of being scolded.

"Kress, I heard from Beorn that you have mastered the ability to communicate with animals, is that true?"

"Ah? Ah! Yes, boss, is there anything you want me to do?"

Kress was a little apprehensive, and immediately jumped up again. As long as Allen doesn't train her, everything can be discussed.

　Now it seems that I can’t even give you a thumbs up. It’s okay, thank you for your support, that’s all for today, thank you.
