The Journey of the Demon Hunter

After the Anduin River is the Palano Plain, and the White City is located at the junction of the Palano Plain and the White Mountains. The Anduin River is the last line of defense. Once broken, the capital of Gondor will face the Mordor soldiers. Any general in Gondor understands the importance of this line of defense to the kingdom, and Faramo is no exception. He never sits in an office waiting for a report, but leads his men to the line of defense and outposts to patrol the other side of the river. The situation of the enemy.

Faramo carefully examined the map, his gaze on the war plain in front of the Black Gate: "How many?"

"Thousands of people are increasing every day." The veteran lowered his voice: "The sentry even saw the Ruen legion by the river. The banner is the Dragon Legion."

"There is still no news from my brother in the north?"

"Not a single sentry found Polomo at the border. Recently, it has become more and more difficult for the sentry to go to the north to investigate. The Harads and savages are distributed on the east bank of the Anduin River. Few sentries can avoid the eyes of so many enemies." The white-haired boss pursed his lips: "I haven't seen an army of this size in so many years."

Faramo's gaze turned from the Black Gate, along the border of Mordor, and finally stopped on Osgilius: "Who is guarding the north of the river?"

"The five hundred elite soldiers of Osgilius. But if you are attacked on this scale, you will definitely not be able to resist it."

Faramo pondered for a while, he stretched out his hand and pressed Isinger’s position: "Saruman launched an offensive from Isinger and attacked Rohan." Then he moved his finger to the right: "Sauron is attacking from Mordor. Humans will be flanked by both sides, and Gondor will be weak. Unless King Haydon defeats Saruman at the mouth of the Aisen River, if Rohan is defeated, Gondor will not be able to resist Sauron’s offensive. Saruman sent many Soldier? Can you monitor the movements of the Luen people?"

"The Ruen legion disappeared to the north a day ago, too far to the north, our sentry lost their tracks. But we should not only care about the Ruen people. Harads, Varyags, South Harads The savages and the pirates of Umbal are all gathering." The white-haired veteran licked the corner of his mouth and clicked his fingers in several different places: "It's very bad. We may not have time to worry about the enemy in the north. We can only hope that Lu The benefactor is not going to attack Rohan, we are seriously underpowered, Faramo."

Compared with the huge number of orcs, and the humans who came from the south and east to serve Sauron, the number of humans in the West is always so scarce, as well as elves and dwarves.

"Faramo." Suddenly, a sentry walked quickly into the cave: "Brothers found a group of people breaking into the vicinity on the mountain road outside. They don't know what to do. I hope you can take a look."

Faramo frowned: "Is it a half-orc spy?"

"No." The sentry hesitated: "It's a very strange little creature...monster."

On the rocky hillside where there is no grass, Longyi held a stone with one hand, and slowly sat down. The dusty gravel under her made her frown.

"Is this really the territory of Gondor? Master, why do I feel that there is something wrong with your guidance." She frowned and looked around. The ground seems to form a clear dividing line here. To the east is a barren gravel plain, and to the west is a lush river valley: "This is not like a place where people can live, or that the Gangduo people used to mine here. Ore?"

Virginia took out her water bag, drank her saliva, and sighed: "I was really crazy and wanted to go crazy with you to come to this kind of ghost place. Do you want to drink water? Not much, wait until the Gondor people live We have to resupply it again near the town of

Gneia stretched out her hand, and Virginia threw the water bag forward, and the dragonborn caught it in mid-air.

"Thanks a lot."

"At least when I arrived last time, this was Gondor's territory." Virginia sternly looked at the dirty ground and kept slapping the dust on her robe: "Time has passed so long. , How can I know what’s going on here... can’t we find a clean place? The Holy Spirit is on it, look at your hair, it’s almost stuck with sweat and dust. A few days later , You may start to smell bad."

"Because it's safe here, my lady city, she has a wide view, and there are plains nearby. The only place where we are is a high slope. I would rather stay here than run into the jungle by the river until the enemy is close at hand. Only when I found out."

"Since we left Rivendell, we haven't had a good rest..." Virginia murmured, "There is no bed and bath water. Gondor is on the other side of the river. We should also walk along the borders of civilization, at least, we can go to the city."

"But what I want to do is to ensure that Bilbo and Frodo will not encounter orcs and hostile humans halfway." Gnaiya snorted softly: "They walked along the river, avoiding the gathering place of humans. , If we hide closer to the west than them, who will protect whom?"

"Then we can also walk along the river, where there are forests and springs."

"Here, if there is an enemy approaching, or if there are orcs nearby, I can see them 500 meters away." The Dragonborn raised his head, drank the remaining water in the water bag, and then sighed. Tone: "When I hunted in the past, I liked this kind of place the most. I have a wide view. No prey can escape your tracking. Don't forget what we are here. We are here to hunt down those half-orcs. I don’t know if this matter will be known to the people of Skyrim, but after I enter the Hall of Valor, this matter will definitely give me more honor and respect. Think about it, how many orcs we have killed in the past few days, you Are you not proud of yourself?"

"I don't like it here." Virginia sighed. She knew that if the topic were to continue, she would definitely get a ridicule of the Dragonborn: "Take a rest, and then we will continue to set off. If I If you remember correctly, walking south along the river, you can see the ruins of a city. It was once the capital of Gondor, and there was a garrison. I don’t know if anyone still lives."

"I don't know if the quartermaster in the Gondor Barracks will sell equipment and supplies to adventurers. My sword is almost cut to the edge." The dragon descendant pulled out the short sword on his waist, and there was a little rust on it. Suddenly, she patted the back of her head: "By the way, did the priestess keep up?" Longyi looked around: "She hasn't seen her face for a day."

"There is no enemy, why should I show up?" Frid's cold voice appeared in the ears of the Dragonborn: "I went to inform Bilbo yesterday to change their course. There are many patrols near them, in the forest by the river. ."

"Don't you hurt?" Virginia asked suddenly: "Here, you should wear a pair of boots."

"I don't feel it." Frid hesitated for a while, and said a few more words: "I'm not used to wearing boots...The only thing I can find on the way to escape is torn clothes. Boots Too extravagant. I adapted it later."

"Oh, this way, it's good if you can keep up." Virginia said dryly: "Then we will go faster, we will reach our destination soon, and then we can wait for Zelin in Gondor. Arrived with the others."

"Don't worry." Long Yi raised his hand: "I want to continue investigating nearby. I don't know why, I always feel something is wrong recently, as if something is following us. I used to be when you were resting that day. When the road returned, I saw the fish that was eaten by the river and was eaten raw. There were also some strange footprints, which was very abnormal."

"I guess it may be due to your vigilance. Animals may go to the river to catch fish. This is normal." Virginia sighed: "When people are nervous, they may have hallucinations... "

"This is not an illusion."

"It's up to you."

"Tell me, does Zelin know any friends near Mordor? I might need to ask them something." Dragonborn did not argue with Virginian either: "You can go to the nearby town first, and then I will Go to you."

"Friend...it's been so long, and it's still in Mordor..." Virginia thought for a while: "I know one, but that's a big spider , Not human."

The 2448th chapter is weak

Edoras--

"The number of Luen people is almost two thousand, maybe more, but some of them are craftsmen and slaves, and they have no combat power. But they are fully armed, all equipped with spears, and no knights can be sent to fight against them." Poromo sat in Jin. On the wooden chair of the temple, said to Eowyn.

Rohan's situation was worse than he thought.

Most of the riders who were able to fight were sent to Isengard to confront Saruman. The interior is empty, if there is no army that can resist the attack of the Luen people. Not to mention, there have been rumors of King Haydon's defeat outside the Golden Temple, and the smoke of gunpowder in the distance can be seen even at night, and the thick smoke screen obscures the stars in the sky.

"My people can't go to the west. Isengard's army is probably approaching Idoras." Eowyn lowered his eyes, thinking about the countermeasures: "There are Luen people in the east, and they can't go to Gondor for refuge. Otherwise, You might hit a Ruen forward halfway through. The south is a white mountain that cannot be crossed...We only have the north to go."

"If you can go all the way north, you can enter Lothlorien, Your Highness." Poromo looked tired, and he hurried to Edoras, even as the most brave fighter in Gondor, he would feel weak. "But that road is too long and it will take a month. If the residents of Edoras carry so much food and supplies, it will seriously slow down. But if there is no supply, they will not be able to walk through the forest at all. In the White Mountains Is there a place to hide? My brother Faramo leads the troops to guard the Anduin River. As long as I have a good horse, I can ride it to the Andros Fortress and let Faramo's troops support Rohan. This This war is not a war between Rohan and a kingdom. It determines the survival of Western humans. Gondor will not stand by when Rohan is in danger."

"...In the southwest of Edoras, there is a place in the White Mountains called Black Man Temple. It is a fortress hidden in the western part of the White Mountains. The fortress is hidden in the mountain peak, and there is only one trail. Enter, between Edoras and West Valley." Eowyn thoughtfully nodded: "If Saruman attacks the Valley of the Helm first, then the people of Edoras should have a chance to hide in the Black Barbarian Shrine. But once it was discovered, there was not even a place to escape there."

Suddenly, there was a riot outside the Golden Temple, and the exclamation of the militiamen and the crowd came one after another.

"What's the matter?"

Eowyn stood up, and Poromo subconsciously held down the long sword at his waist.

"His Royal Highness." A guard of the Golden Temple rushed in and saluted Eowyn: "It is the wizard who has come, and the wizard who was on the expedition with His Majesty the King has returned!"

When Zelin appeared outside the city of Edoras riding a griffin, he was immediately surrounded by crowds and militias.

Eowyn and Polomo walked out of the palace quickly, and saw that the guards had to stand on both sides of the street to prevent too many people from gathering around the Griffin and causing an accident.

"Sorcerer, how is the battle at the Eisen Estuary?"

"Where is King Haydon? Where are the marshal and the prince? Have they defeated the Orcs?!"

"Sorcerer, are you here to deal with half-orcs?"

"Where are the Hussars? Where are our good riders? Where are they!"

People stretched out their hands one after another, asking questions one after another. Everyone can't wait to know what's going on on the front line.

"Don't worry, guys! Put away your worries and fears." Zelin said loudly. He took the reins and stopped the Griffins so as not to knock down the crowd in front of them who had no time to escape: "King Hidden and Prince, also With the marshal, everything is well, the war is still going on, Saruman’s offensive has failed, he has locked himself in Asingri, the hussars have surrounded him, there is no orc army nearby, only some fleeing enemies, you Don't worry, the orcs will never get close to Edoras!"

Zelin's words calmed some people down. Some people couldn't help crying when they heard the news, hugged their relatives and friends, and celebrated that they finally drove away the cloud of failure. Almost all of Rohan’s army has gathered at the mouth of the Aisen River. If the entire army is annihilated, it can be said that every family in the kingdom will lose their relatives and family members.

After Eowyn appeared, those who still wanted to ask about other things gradually stepped away. Zelin and Altarel left the Griffin's back and walked up the river stairs to the palace. The crowd who followed all the way from the gate of the city stopped under the stairs. As ordinary people, they are not qualified to enter the Golden Palace at will.

"Sorcerer, I heard your words just now, what is the matter with the gunpowder in the west?"
