The Journey of the Demon Hunter

Perhaps for two normal people, facing the cavalry charge, they should immediately dodge to the sides, but neither the ranger nor the demon hunter chose this way. The demon hunter stretched out his hand, as if he was so scared by the charge that he could not move, raised his hand in vain to resist the stabbing spear, and the bloodthirsty killing intent appeared in the orc's eyes, but the next moment, it hit one side and couldn't see it. On the wall he reached, the spear deflected and broke. Before the orc fell to the ground, his neck was torn by the spearhead that bounced back. The wild beast and its owner fell together and tripped the charge behind. The second orc flew forward and plunged directly into the burning camp nearby, completely overwhelming the overwhelmed tent. Talion raised his hand, and the wild beast rushing towards him suddenly lost his balance, fell forward and slid several meters on the ground before stopping, with an arrow stuck in its forehead. The rider was thrown out, waving his limbs in the air, Talion swung his sword, and the rider fell to the ground. After rolling for two times, his whole body spread out motionless, and there was a sword mark on his abdomen that almost divided the whole body into two.

"They are here!"

There was a hoarse roar in the thick smoke, and an orc chief rushed out of the smoke, and then more orc soldiers followed their leader and emerged from the thick smoke. After seeing so many corpses lying on the ground, the orc chief suddenly stopped, and then he beckoned to the back.

"There are two humans here, kill them immediately, go, go!"

After all, it took a few steps back, and Zelin's sight was immediately blocked by the orc soldiers rushing up.

However, before Zelin could react, the screams of killing in the thick smoke turned into bursts of screams in the more violent explosion. The retreating orc chief did not understand what had happened. A fireball fell on the place where it stood. After the fire, only a piece of scorched earth remained on the ground. Several Gondor soldiers came in during the chaos, Zelin and Talion looked at each other, and they immediately slashed their swords towards the scared orc soldier who was at a loss.

For Zelin, this made him unexpected. There would be soldiers from Gondor who would break out of the city at this time, but he was able to get in touch with the soldiers in the city, and he was happy to see it. There are not many orcs here, maybe they haven't figured out what happened, maybe the fires set by the demon hunters in other places have an effect, making them think that the attack happened from the camp in the east of the city. In the blink of an eye, the orcs here, like the guards before them, turned into corpses on the ground.

The battle soon ended, and several Gondor soldiers held swords and looked at the ranger and the demon hunter. In their eyes, Zelin saw surprise and bewilderment. Obviously, they didn't expect to encounter humans other than orcs here, but Zelin soon discovered that he was wrong.

The surprise of the Gondor soldiers did not come from seeing them, but from seeing them only.

"Did the regent send you?" A blond woman walked out from behind the soldier, carrying a dagger, her armor covered with orc blood. She eagerly asked Zelin and Talion, "Where are the others? I am Idri, the captain of the guard of Minas Ihir. What is your number? Who will lead you?"

Zelin looked at Talion. He was not from Gondor, but the Ranger was.

"We are from Mordor, from the Black Gate." Talion replied, "You are soldiers of Minas Ihir? Why are you here? How is the situation in the city?"

"Wait, you didn't come from Baicheng?" Ijur frowned. "I, I thought you were reinforcements sent by Minas Tirith."

"You asked Baicheng for help, but Baicheng has not sent reinforcements yet?" Talion asked.

"Yes." Izzur nodded. "We saw that the camp of the orcs was attacked and thought it was the army from the White City. Minas Ihir was besieged for more than 20 days. You are from the Black Gate? How many rangers of the Black Gate can help us?"

Her gaze swept across the corpse on the ground: "A hundred masters with swords?"

Talion did not speak.

"Fifty rangers, oh, that's enough."

The corners of Talion's mouth moved, and Zelin understood that he didn't want to talk about the Black Gate.

"Thirty?" Idrir asked tentatively: "Twenty? It's okay. Call your manpower. We'd better leave as soon as possible. The orcs will return soon. We have to return to behind the wall before being surrounded, or, You may be able to send someone to Baicheng and ask for help from His Royal Highness the Regent. We need help urgently."

Zellin and Talion looked at each other, Talion nodded, and Zellin said: "I'm sorry, Ms. Idri, there are only two of us. Sauron captured the Black Gate a month ago, and the rest of us are here. Fight the orcs in the Udon area."

Idri closed her eyes, and the corners of her mouth moved slightly, but in the end she didn't say anything, just sighed heavily. "The orcs attacked every place? Damn! But at least we destroyed one of their camps, you..."

"Zelin!"

After the soldiers of Gondor, a familiar voice suddenly heard, and the demon hunter unexpectedly opened his eyes. He never thought that he would hear it here.

"Virginia?!"

The magus who was in the dust was protected by several soldiers holding shields behind her, and her cheeks were stained with soot from the battle. Idri looked at Virginia in a puzzled way. Virginia just wanted to trot up and give the demon hunter a hug, but after noticing the gaze of the people around her, she rubbed the dust on the tip of her nose. , But Zelin didn't hesitate, he stepped forward and gave Virginia a hug. He hugged her tightly, as if once let go, the beautiful woman in his arms would suddenly disappear.

He was very happy to see Virginia here, especially after the battle with the Tower of Sauron. If Norn’s situation is not very bad, and he believes that what he sees is only the illusion created by the witchcraft of the Tower of Sauron, he may leave Mordor the next day and go to Minas Tirith to find Vige. Nia. The illusion left a seed of doubt in Zelin's heart. He more than once considered at night whether he should go to White City with Virginia. He knew that Virginia had enough power, but witchcraft, illusions, and curses, Sauron's followers had various traps.

What if she encounters a more cunning enemy? What if there are other black knights setting traps in her way?

He didn't know.

Can not completely rest assured.

No one can fall asleep comfortably when the person they care about leaves and is surrounded by danger.

Until now, he was completely relieved.

Virginia subconsciously wanted to push away, but after curling her fingers slightly, she happily embraced the demon hunter's back.

"Zelin." She whispered in his ear.

"Virginia."

"There are others here."

"I don't care. It's nice to see you."

"Me too. But you are almost out of breath."

"Oh, sorry."

"No, don't say sorry, I'm very happy, the Holy Spirit, how long will I originally want to see you again."

Unfortunately, the nearby orcs didn't plan to give them much time.

New orcs screamed in the silent smoke, and the clatter of iron boots on the muddy road appeared in different directions. Zelin let go of the mage girl, and Virginia lowered her head. She wanted to be serious again, but she still couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

"We must leave." Idri said, "Let's go back to the city..."

"No, retreat to the hills first." Ze Lin let go of the mage girl and said to Idri: "You people rushing back are just to die. First retreat to the nearby forest."

Idri looked at Virginia, as if asking her what she meant. The mage girl's cheeks were still red, and she nodded.

"Listen to him, let us retreat temporarily. Moreover, my spell needs preparation. When that time comes, we will break in again."

"Okay." Idri took a deep breath and waved to the other soldiers. "Assemble, prepare to retreat, hurry up. Ranger, do you know where to avoid the orcs?"

"I know." Zelin said, "Come with me, hurry!"

The first thousand seven hundred and twenty-five chapters reunite with Virginia

The demon hunter did not expect that he would see Virginia in Minas Ihir.

Idri took her soldiers to retreat to the nearby hillside, leaving only an abandoned camp full of corpses for the orcs. They retreated to the cave where Zelin and Talion came. It was very safe. Even if the orcs approached, they could retreat to the cave and take shelter temporarily. After realizing that Zelin and Virginia met, Idri did not follow the mage girl again, but explained the situation in Minas Ihir to Talion.

"Virginia."

"Thank you."

Zelin helped the mage girl to sit on a rock, took off the water bag around her waist, and handed it to her. Virginia took a sip, and she hesitated, rubbing her cheeks with her sleeves.

"I didn't know you would come here too."

"It's okay." Zelin poured the water bag on his hand and gently wiped the soot from Virginia's face. "Did you know, I once encountered a torrential rain in the wild, but I didn't even have a big tree to shelter from the rain. The ground was too muddy. I wanted to find a village on my horse as soon as possible, but I fell and fell. At that time, I dare say I looked like a walking clay sculpture."

Virginia chuckled twice, then rubbed her face with her sleeves to wash the dust off her face.

"Why did you come here, Zelin? I thought you were still at the foot of Uton Mountain."

"The situation has changed. After you left, I escorted Marvin back to Norn. Sauron sent two other black knights to Norn to attack Norn’s human tribe. Their situation was very bad, so I was in Norn. I stayed for a while. Until now, when the situation eased a little, I came here, ready to request reinforcements from Minas Ihir and accept the Norns to leave Mordor."

Zelin sighed. He will roughly tell Virginia what happened in Norn. But he didn't tell her everything, such as the battle with the Tower of Sauron. But even if these were omitted, the battle with the black armored knight was enough to make the mage girl worry about Zelin.
