Daqin: I, Fusu, can summon the undead

Chapter 72: Meeting of the Two Armies

Chapter 72: Meeting of the Two Armies
"Damn the undead! They must die miserably!"

"Damn undead! I must kill them all!"

Deep in the Mirkwood, Thrandavin swung his axe and cursed continuously.

He never thought that he would take an axe and chop down the forest where he had lived for two thousand years. This was the home of the elves. The trees in this forest were planted one by one by the elves and carefully nurtured, just like their family.

But now, he has to take the axe and cut down these trees that are like family to him.

Who would have thought that the elves who used to love nature and even fought elegantly would now be chopping trees with ugly axes while sweating and cursing like vulgar dwarves. If it weren't for the excellent education the elves received since childhood, which made his son's vocabulary limited, his curses would probably be even more unpleasant.

Listening to his son cursing, Oripdo just chopped the tree silently.

If you listen carefully, you can hear him mumbling something under his breath. "I must learn some vocabulary from the dwarves in the future!"

How he wished that a dwarf would appear before them. In that case, many elves would probably seriously ask the dwarves, whom they had despised in the past, for advice on literature. He would definitely also ask for some words to express his sincere feelings for the undead.

It turned out that although there were still 150,000 elves in the Mirkwood, most of them were women and children. Faced with the Undead's steady strategy of burning the forest, they could not afford the casualties of fighting 200,000 undead head-on.

Unable to fight the undead head-on to stop them from setting fire, the Elf Queen had no choice but to summon all the elves to cut down trees in the dark forest to create a firebreak.

However, creating firebreaks is not a long-term solution, as the undead can continue to advance steadily and ignite the forest again.

Therefore, it is still very important for the Elf King to lead the army back, but this place is more than 3,000 kilometers away from the Plains of Barad-dur. Even if everything goes well, it will take a month for the Elf King to get back even if he breaks his legs with his army.

During this period of at least a month, the elves in the Mirkwood could only continue to create fire barriers and retreat step by step.

----------

At the same time, after some urgent discussions, the allied forces on the Plains of Barad-dur finally chose to temporarily abandon the attack on Mordor.

Now that the elves of the Mirkwood have withdrawn, and the dwarves of the Lonely Mountain are also planning to withdraw, the strength of the allied forces has been greatly reduced.

The supporting Undead could not be intercepted. With the Undead's marching speed, it would take them at most three days to cross the Brown Land Plain. The Bone Dragons could even fly to Mordor for support at any time.

And even if they succeeded in breaking through Mordor and destroying Sauron, they would certainly suffer heavy casualties, their soldiers would be exhausted, and they would immediately face the attack from the rear by the Undead reinforcements.

After some discussion, everyone agreed that the risk of continuing to attack Mordor was too great, and the chance of successfully destroying Sauron was too small. Even if Sauron was successfully destroyed, the Allied Forces would still be in danger.

If the allied forces were killed or wounded, they would have difficulty dealing with the attacks of the northern undead. It would be better to withdraw the troops to save strength, protect themselves first, and then take it slowly.

When the allied forces withdrew, Sauron, the Lord of Darkness in Mordor's Mount Doom, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he still had more than 100,000 troops, it was indeed difficult for him to resist the attack of the Allied Forces, otherwise he would not have been driven back to the Mount Doomsday.

But now he not only has a chance to catch his breath, with the Undead attack from the north tying down most of the allied forces in the north, he can even counterattack Gondor.

~~~
Two days later, the Witch King of Angmar led more than 90,000 undead to Mordor. The Dark Lord Sauron attached great importance to the first meeting between the two armies and personally led his army of monsters to line up on both sides of the Doom Mountain to welcome the undead army.

At the sound of the orcs' horns, the black gate of Mount Doom slowly opened.

Under the expectant gaze of Sauron and the Firelord, the Undead army led by the Witch-king of Angmar marched into Mount Doom in neat formation.

The Doomsday Volcano, which was already dim due to the thick smoke from the active volcano, became even darker with the appearance of the undead army, like a stormy evening.

The cold air and death brought by the undead army lowered the temperature here a lot.

"Gudong!"

The monsters on both sides of the formation looked at the undead army that entered the formation and passed through them. Looking at these gloomy skeletons, many monsters couldn't help swallowing their saliva.

Even though these monsters were inherently cruel, dark, and evil, they all felt instinctively uneasy when they sensed the death and yin energy gathered by the undead army.

This comes from the instinctive fear of death of all living things, and even monsters like them are no exception.

'Is it right or wrong to cooperate with the Lich King?'

Looking at the undead led by the Witch-king of Angmar, even Sauron couldn't help but ask himself again.

Compared to others, he knew better that the Lich King and his undead were not the children of the Creator God, but came from the darkness of other worlds. His behavior was undoubtedly a betrayal of the Creator God.

Other forces and gods will certainly investigate the source of these suddenly appearing undead spirits.

Once it is confirmed that the undead are dark forces from other worlds, not only will Middle-earth unite completely, but even Arad, Middlegate, the Dark Continent, and the Far East will probably participate in the war, and those high and mighty gods will most likely fight in person.

If the Lich King was defeated, then Sauron would definitely not have a good ending.

Unfortunately, he had no choice before, he didn't want to die. And now he only has one choice, that is to stay close to the Lich King, which is why he attaches so much importance to the meeting between the two armies at this time.

"Lord Sauron, the Lich King has sent his undead commanders, and the Witch-King of Angmar sends his greetings to you on behalf of the Lich King!" The Witch-King of Angmar interrupted Sauron's thoughts and saluted him sincerely.

Looking at his former subordinate, Sauron quickly returned the salute and said sincerely: "Express my most sincere gratitude to the Lich King on my behalf. Thank you for sending troops to rescue Mordor!"

The Witch King of Angmar bowed quickly and returned the greeting, saying, "My Lord, you are very polite. My king asked me to come and ask if you have prepared his body as you promised. The king asked me to transport the body back."

"We're ready!" Soran pointed his finger deeper into Mount Doom. "Also, there are many bodies piled up or buried on the battlefield. I can have my army help you collect them!"

After reaching a cooperation with the Lich King, he has been asking his orcs to collect corpses.

"Thank you, Demon Lord!" The Witch-King of Angmar immediately bowed to express his gratitude.
