Aragorn led the people to the right fork in the river. In the western shadow of Mount Torbranda, there is a vast grassland that stretches from the water's edge to the foot of Mount Amonhan, and after that the gentle slopes of Mount Amenhan are overgrown with trees that also grow all the way to the lake.

A trickling spring descended from the hill to nourish the meadow, and the expedition dragged the boat up the green bank and camped beside it.

"We rest here tonight," said Aragon, "and this is the Pasgaland Prairie, one of the ancient beauties, and hopefully no evil has invaded here." ”

"I suppose you should draw your sword before then, the stinger will show if the orcs are hiding near us. Canaan suddenly spoke, "I feel like there's a threat and a shadow lurking around us. ”

Hearing Canaan's words, Frodo immediately pulled the elven's sword out of its scabbard in some panic, and he was surprised to find that the edge of the sword shone with dazzling light in the darkness. And this can only mean one point, there are half-orcs or strong orcs nearby.

"It seems that I am unfortunate to be right...... Everyone, take up your arms and prepare for battle, the enemy is about to attack us. ”

As if to confirm Canaan's words, the next moment, a large number of strong orcs suddenly appeared from the woods in the distance. According to a rough estimate with the naked eye, there are at least a thousand strong orcs, and these are strong orcs armed to the teeth, not only do they have intact armor, helmets, shields, and long swords, but some of them even use wooden longbows that only elves use.

This is also the first time that everyone on the Arctic Continent team has officially seen the strong orcs, which are tall creatures about two meters tall, and they look about the same as humans. It's just that they look hideous and terrifying, their muscles bulge, and they are much taller, so it's no wonder they are called strong orcs. Compared to the orcs living underground in the Moria Tunnels, it was the difference between an ordinary man and a strong boxer.

Canaan's words just now were certainly not groundless, in fact, the Arctic Continent team's spiritual power control had already scanned the number of strong orcs and their locations, and then used the mind chain to transmit these images to the minds of the team members, which was the real reason.

Seeing these strong orcs, Aragorn's throat was bitter. When he was still known as the Ranger Freewalker by the people of Middle-earth, he had fought with orcs ten times and hundreds of times, but he had only seen a few times the group of strong, equipped and armed, and obviously organized orcs in front of him, and their combat effectiveness was deeply engraved in his mind.

The few times Aragon had seen it before, the number of strong orcs was not too many, and they were all fighting on their own. But the number of strong orcs in front of him has obviously exceeded his expectations, especially since many strong orcs have bows and arrows in their hands...... With just a dozen or so people here, can they defeat the arrows of so many strong orcs? Especially with four oil bottles by their side, you must know that their mission is not to kill all the strong orcs, but to protect Frodo and the Lord of the Rings.

"Frodo, stay by my side with your hobbit companions later, the next battle is very dangerous, and I can't fully protect you......" Arago said sternly to Frodo.

Without waiting for Frodo to answer, Aragon continued to say to Canaan: "Miss Canaan, can you lead your team to charge and kill for a while?" I have fought with these strong orcs a few times before, although their individual strength is not particularly strong, but if we use bows and arrows to shoot a salvo, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to protect these hobbits, so please go and break up their formation, it is better not to let them shoot at us...... Is that okay?"

"No problem, just leave it to Charlotte and Gunniel, as well as the dwarven warrior Golden Bolt, Legolas and I will stay here to support with long-range attacks, and by the way, help you protect the hobbits. Looking at the strong orcs pouring out of the woods, Canaan's right hand took out a small blood-red one-handed ** at some point, and it looked like a burning flame from a distance: "With their strength, there should be no problem." ”

After that, Canaan said in the chain of his mind: "Gunniel, Charlotte, the next battle will not be easy, if one of the sides who fought near Roslorian that day comes here, then now is the best time for them to appear." ”

"I feel like there's an extremely dangerous feeling behind me, like a blade is behind me, be careful. ”

"Hmph, it looks like this is going to be a rare massacre. Gunniel grinned, not paying attention to Canaan's last words, but responding in the chain of his heart. A cold aura erupted from his body, causing the nearby dwarf Golden Bolt and the elven prince Legolas to shiver together.

“…… Don't be careless, these are strong orcs, not the half-orcs we killed in the Moria's tunnels, they are not only physically stronger than the half-orcs, they are well equipped and weaponized, and they are also able to use fighting energy. Charlotte snorted coldly and pulled out the two-handed big sword on her back, only to see that the big sword emitted a blue light, and it looked really powerful: "In addition, be careful of other reincarnation squads." ”

As soon as the words fell, the group of strong orcs had already rushed over, and Aragorn drew the holy sword Anduriel and guarded it tightly beside Frodo and the other four, while the others also drew their own weapons and began to prepare for battle......

―――――――― Dividing Line――――――――

"That's nice...... Kindness and courage, innocence and dreams. Although the reality is quite cruel, without these beautiful sentiments, it is really unpleasant to destroy, so it is best to destroy beautiful things......"

On a stone pillar not far away, Zhao Fukong looked at the strong orc army and the Fellowship of the Ring Expedition that were about to fight, and smiled and whispered to himself. His expression was really kind, and the smile on his face made people not see the slightest threat, but if he looked closely, although he was smiling on his face, his eyes were full of coldness.

And the most surprising thing is that it is clear that the spiritual power controller of the Arctic Continent team has included all this area in his mental power scanning map, but he did not find Zhao Fukong, who was close at hand, he was like air, and he was not scanned by spiritual power......

"It's interesting, such a weak team, how dare to swagger around so much, without the protection of the Middle-earth team, are they tired of living......?

"I don't have much interest in the Lord of the Rings, but it would be fun to get my hands on here......

In the end, the corners of Zhao Fukong's mouth had turned into an extremely weird arc......
