Chapter 82

After the new year, the time came to 2942. In Alan's memory, this was a year of peace, a year in which humans in the north could develop with peace of mind.

Moreover, this year's spring seems to be blessed by the gods, and the weather is very warm and early. Even the snow on the top of the Misty Mountains has begun to show traces of melting after the new year.

In the period after the New Year, Allen also conducted several simulations, going to the continent of Pendor and the magic continent of Calradia.

There was no progress in the simulation in Pendor Continent. Originally, Allen wanted to open several new identities to see if he could get more opportunities. As a result, both of the two new identities died in the battle.

Even Allen, whose strength has been strengthened again, cannot guarantee his absolute safety in Pendor Continent, especially when he meets the established Dawn Knight and Dawn Dragon this time.

Thinking of it, Alan wanted to curse people, and he managed to get the identity of the village chief, but he met this group of fanatical god worshippers who like to burn first and ask questions later, dog-like things, and they just burn down the village casually , without even giving a chance to explain, the final result was that the unarmed Allen died under the group charge of the Dawn Knights.

The other time was even more difficult. Allen, who descended on the Silver Blade Fortress, unexpectedly encountered the siege of the "killer" Wolf Bird of the Misty Mountain. When Allen led the people to break through with difficulty, he personally led people to catch up .

In order to cover the escape of the civilians, Allen died under a big ax after fighting desperately, and those civilians did not run away and were captured back. One can imagine the fate.

Although the Pendor Continent is not going well, Allen has made some progress in Zenda's status as a bounty hunter.

He has bravely killed the enemy in several bandit suppression operations, and has been recognized by the free knight Rogge.

Alan's reputation of being brave and fearless has spread in Zenda and has been recognized by most bounty hunters. At this time, if Alan is willing, he can already organize a team of bounty hunters to attack nearby bandits up.

The only problem is that he doesn't have much money in Zenda, and he may not be able to hire too many people. This is a bit difficult, and he can only wait for his finance minister, Manid, to "offer" a little start-up capital to himself.

All in all, through several simulations in less than a month, Alan has brought a total of 40 reputation points and an income of 5000 dinars, which is much better than previous years.

At the very least, it will not be a serf carrying a hoe, a slave in shackles, or cannon fodder on the battlefield. With such an identity, even if Alan has superhuman combat abilities, he will be regarded as a spy, alien, and evil. Wu and other garbage identities were hunted down by the local noble army.

This kind of harvest is actually so-so, the main reason is that he didn't get a reputation, so the harvest is a bit unsatisfactory.

In this warm weather, Karl, who is in charge of farming in Wilderness Town, led his subordinates to start this year's busy farming work early. The year's plan lies in spring.

And the migration policy proposed by Jamila has also begun to have initial results. More and more townspeople began to support their families, drive ox carts, and head north, preparing to build more villages between the horse-grazing village and the wilderness town. farm.

After all, between Muma Village and Wilderness Town, there are hundreds of kilometers of fertile land, and roads have already been paved there, and there is no threat of orcs at this time, so it is a good time to reclaim the land.

In the south, Allen is not open to the citizens, and he can't guarantee the safety there yet.

Although Fatis led thousands of soldiers to clear the Black Forest again years ago, how could it be possible for a thousand people to clean up the tens of thousands of square kilometers of forest in just over a week?

Therefore, the land in the south must wait until the intelligence system is established before it can be opened to the migration of the citizens.

And about this matter, Ellen also approached Kress years ago, and she is now training some birds in Beorn's garden.

After training, Kress will go to the Black Forest near the old ferry and release the birds there.

These birds will return to Beorn's garden after a certain period of time and tell Kress what they have seen and heard.

Relying on this method, a preliminary attempt is made to monitor some areas of the southern Black Forest. If feasible, more people will be arranged to learn from Beorn later.

After the study is completed, an intelligence station will be established in the Black Forest to form a relatively strict intelligence network and complete the monitoring of the Black Forest.

But things always have to be done step by step, let Kress try the effect first.

After the new year, the big eagle that flew over as usual brought some bad news to Allen. There were still a large number of half-orcs near the high pass.
For this reason, Allen arranged for Kress to take Grimm to the Orc Town to investigate the specific situation there.

Yes, after the New Year, Allen accepted Grimm as his second attendant after Beorn agreed, and served as his deputy to cooperate with Kress's work.

It's just that Allen felt that Grim, who was very stable at a young age, might be more suitable than Kress to be the director of his intelligence agency, but Grim quickly shook his head and refused.

"No, no, no, the head of Miss Kress is more suitable for this position."

Helpless, Allen can only officially entrust this position to Kress, who has a detached personality.

After receiving the order, Kress took Grimm with him and set off. This was the first time she was assigned a task by Allen alone, and she was still the captain.

After she came to Orc Town, she talked with small animals nearby and got some information about Orcs.

Feeling unsatisfied, she ignored Grimm's obstruction and entered the depths of the tunnel in the Misty Mountains again.

That is to say, relying on his own skill and courage, with Grim's support, Kress even sneaked into the cave where Allen shot and killed the orc king.

There, she saw a dense crowd of half-orcs, and the number was definitely no less than a thousand.

Later, she was discovered. Half-orcs have much better eyesight in the dark than humans. If Grimm hadn't turned into a big bear and ran out quickly with her, everyone would have already entered the half-orc's room. In the iron pot.

However, Kress didn't care at all, and didn't feel scared, but rode the big bear and ran all the way down from the misty mountains.

After returning to Wilderness Town, he immediately reported to Allen the specific situation near Gao Pass, and even took out a simple map.

"This is a bit like Yadiman's sketch. When did the relationship between the two of them get so good? And isn't Yatiman in River Valley City?"

Allen looked at this barely understandable stick figure, full of doubts in his heart.

But Kress didn't take that much into account, but pointed to a cave on the map with excitement and said:
"Boss, here, here, the squirrel who just came out to look for food told me that many dirty black guys entered this cave from this location. I checked the traces, and there are at least hundreds of them."

Then Kress pointed to a gap, and continued: "This location, this location, is the cave where you said you were ambushed last time, boss. There are also fresh traces of activity there, a lot of them."

Speaking of this, Kress continued excitedly: "Also, and, I have also quietly entered the Orc Town, I simply counted, there are at least nearly a thousand Orcs entrenched there, boss Are you going to attack there? Bring "

The word "me" hadn't come out yet, and Kress, who was getting more and more excited, noticed Alan's face, and recalled Alan's words in his mind.

"Didn't I tell you that it's enough to inquire about the news from the small animals around? It's just the two of us, and we went into the depths of the Misty Mountains to investigate. Do you know that it is very dangerous? I even asked Grim Follow you."

There is no need for Kress to recall, Allen's worried and harsh words have already come out.

"The information obtained from outside is inaccurate. Besides, Grim runs very fast after transforming."

Kress's rebuttal became lower and lower, until Allen could only hear the sound of her mouth colliding.

This is also what Allen is worried about. This little girl who is almost 20 years old, of course, has a much more stable personality than when she climbed Karl Rock before, but her spirit of daring to take risks has not changed.

Such a character is actually very suitable for the position of intelligence officer, but it will also bring more dangers.

"It seems that in the future, we can only find a way to get some life-saving things for Cresto."

Allen sighed helplessly and waved his hand, "Go, go, go and play with Grimm, ah."

"Oh." Kress pouted and went out, but after walking out of the gate, she quickly recovered, rode a horse and ran towards Beorn's garden, where there were dozens of birds Waiting for her to train is a very fun thing for Kress.

And Allen was frowning, tapping the table with his hands constantly, thinking about how to deal with the half-orcs entrenched in the half-orc town.

Alice quietly brought a pot of tea to Alan, and then quietly exited the meeting room. She was going to find Horimion to start today's training.

"I can't lead the soldiers directly into Orc Town like Kress said. The environment there is too complicated and too dark. For my soldiers, there is no advantage at all. I can't do that! Then It's a joke with their lives."

"Then how can I lure those half-orcs out of the town of half-orcs? And let them come out in droves?"

With the sound of "da", "da" and "da" hitting the table, Allen suddenly thought of something. Coincidentally, he had just thought of this thing for a while.

Or the calamity of the golden iris, the death of Isildur, there is one very important thing in this matter, and that is the Supreme Lord of the Rings.

According to some legends, the One Ring has an inexplicable attraction to dark creatures, and it is this attraction that eventually leads to Isildur's death.

At that time, Isildur used the power of the ring to run far away from the battlefield, but in the end some orcs still came after him.

Isildur, who had just been abandoned by the ring and climbed ashore, because the light of the star of Elendil exposed his position, the king of all the Dúnedain people died tragically in the Golden Iris Swamp.

Allen thought that this incident must have been affected by this ring.

In addition, during the War of the Ring, when Frodo and Sam were walking in the swamp of death, Kehamur, who was flying in the sky, was also guided by this attraction, searching for Frodo. , it is conceivable that the ring has this ability.

But Allen felt that the ability of this ring fluctuated. When it was in Gollum's hands, it was relatively honest. When he was in Shire, Nazgul was so close to Frodo, but he still didn't find this ring. ring.

Regarding this strange sign, Allen can only guess that it should have a lot to do with Sauron's state at the time, the distance between the Supreme Ring and its owner, and even the will of that ring.

Allen was thinking, could he rely on the attraction of the Supreme Lord of the Rings to these dark creatures to lure the enemies in Orc Town to attack him?
If it can be realized, of course, it needs to cooperate with some plans.

However, the top priority is to seek the consent of Bilbo Baggins himself first. He had an unpleasant experience, and Allen didn't want to touch the ring himself.

If you want to implement this plan smoothly, then Allen must get the help of this best friend.

At this time, Bilbo Baggins had just finished his fourth meal of the day, oh, afternoon tea, and was lying comfortably on a chair, basking in the warm sun of early spring to digest his food.

For the hobbits, it would be even better to have a bag of cigarettes at this time, but unfortunately, even Gandalf has no stock.

But Bilbo Baggins doesn't care anymore, because he will return to Shire soon, and there are still a few boxes of treasure waiting for him to dig out in the Troll Forest. Will be short of money to spend.

"Bilbo."

A voice reached Bilbo Baggins' ears from afar, and he woke up when he was about to fall asleep. Then he opened his sleepy eyes and saw Alan walking towards him.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes and said, "Alan?"

In fact, he had just lunched with Ellen and Gandalf, and now he was basking in the sun, and Gandalf was out to attend to his own affairs.

But usually at this time, Alan is busy with the affairs of the territory and rarely comes to chat with him, so Bilbo is a little confused when he sees Alan at this time.

Allen didn't think about it that much. After he sat down, he directly stated his intentions for coming. The relationship between him and Bilbo Baggins didn't need so much politeness, and it would appear very estranged instead.

"In fact, Bilbo, I need your help with one thing."

"What's the matter?" Bilbo was puzzled. In his opinion, Alan was a very powerful human lord, so what could be bothering him.

Afterwards, Allen told Bilbo Baggins about his plan in detail. He would lead a small group of elite cavalry as bait into the valley below the high pass.

After attracting the enemy's attention, there will be a long-prepared army behind them. As long as you find a suitable defensive position, the danger is not particularly high, and there is no shortage of caves in the valley.

In fact, before Allen came again, he had already arranged for Desaiwei to take people to investigate the terrain.

But in the end, Allen briefly mentioned the characteristics of the ring, and emphasized that it might attract the attention of the orcs.

Bilbo Baggins, who has been carrying the Supreme Lord of the Rings for half a year, has already been affected by the ring at this time, but the degree of influence is extremely low, and it will not change his kind character, but only aggravate his concern for this A ring of possessiveness.

This kind of possessiveness made Bilbo Baggins naturally ignore the danger mentioned by Allen.

In fact, Gandalf already knew that Bilbo Baggins had such a ring at this time, but he knew very little about the Ring of Power, and never thought that this ring was the most important one.

After all, before forging the twenty main rings, the craftsmen of Eregion made some trial works, and the ordinary appearance of the Supreme Lord of the Rings easily gave Gandalf such an illusion, and this ring is only It is really not strong enough to bring Bilbo Baggins the power to escape into the Underworld.

As a friend, Bilbo Baggins readily agreed to Allen's request, and discussed with Allen, why not set this matter up when they return to Shire.

The hobbit, who has experienced quite a lot of dangers, doesn't feel that this matter is dangerous. After all, he knows that Alan's army is still very strong. With a similar number of people, it will only kill half-orcs. What's more, there is the help of the skin changer.

And this matter was known by Gandalf who came back at night, and he also decided to participate in this battle.

It's just that Bilbo Baggins didn't tell Gandalf about the ring, he just said that when he went home, he helped Alan solve this trouble on the way.

Gandalf didn't have any doubts about Bilbo Baggins' words. After all, this gray-robed wizard is also a person who dares to think and do. If he has an idea, he will work hard. How can he have so much time to think so much?

Allen didn't think about inviting Gandalf to participate in this operation, but he also considered the reactions of these two friends.

Allen was sure that Bilbo Baggins at this time was not willing to talk about the Supreme Ring with others.

Although this is an evil ring, its charm is undoubtedly high, and it can even turn two brothers who are as close as brothers against each other.

Gandalf's eagerness to return to Valinor, as well as his slightly irritable and direct character, also determined that he would not have too many doubts about this action.

Therefore, Allen is not worried that the identity of the Supreme Lord of the Rings will be exposed in front of Gandalf.

Now is not the time to clarify everything, Alan has been in this world for too short a time, and the strength he has accumulated is still far behind.
