Chapter 192: Behemoth
Gondor, the forest of Pinas, has fallen in a pool of blood without knowing how many waves of adventurers tried to be dragon-slaying heroes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since the Umbar pirates began to shrink, the Haradians to the southeast have retreated to their rightful place along Harald Avenue. In addition to the fierce conflicts in the southern region of Gondor, most of the main forces of the orcs who have advanced westward from Mordor have collapsed, and it is difficult to launch a war that is like a flood as before.
As a result, the trades of adventurers, which had almost disappeared in the midst of disasters, sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
As more refugees huddle in the city, one heroic figure after another emerges. As the regent of Gondor boldly unveiled the training methods for the Fountain Guards and Fountain Marksmen.
One after another, militia armed groups called mercenary groups and adventure teams appeared. More than 100,000 Mordor orcs were defeated and retreated by more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians*, which was obviously difficult to support alone.
There are more than 300,000 Mordor orcs from the east, except for the 70,000 or 80,000 who died in the war, and then scattered and ran away more than 100,000, and now there are more than 100,000 left in the Gondor territory, which is quite a lot, but unfortunately they are all old and weak soldiers, and they are not of great use.
They are numerous and almost all over the wilderness. Villages, suburbs, everywhere there are traces of them. However, they can only bully and bully ordinary peasants, and in front of the cavalry, they are simply a rabble and vulnerable.
A team of fifty regular elite horsemen, under the head-on charge, even had an exaggerated record of completely destroying 1,200 demon orcs, and their own losses were only three people!
Such a situation, in the eyes of the Gondor people, has become the manifestation of the Heavenly Empire. In the hearts of all Gondor, Gondor is a place where heroes are born.
As for why so many orcs retreated early when the victory or defeat was "not yet obvious", and the evil side was still "faintly dominating".
The Gondor only thought that they were self-aware, and fortunately they ran early, otherwise they would only be one of the rabble in front of them, one of the dead souls under the sword, and this abnormal situation did not attract enough attention at all.
Orcs will also have so-called self-knowledge?
Faced with this kind of problem, some lucky civilian heroes, young regents who have gained a lot of popular hearts by being generous to others, will only smile and reply with such a sentence:
"In these days, even the king of the West can become a legend, what is impossible?"
If Gondor had been pressed and beaten, then the sudden rise of Ling Qi would definitely be taken very seriously. However, Gondor suddenly turned over and discovered the fact that evil was "strong on the outside". For the lucky king of the West, they immediately have a different, but so-so, emotion!
Most of the Gondor nobles have long been jealous and disdainful of the legendary king of the West, with the idea that "no hero makes the shaft famous", and it is only now that the mood explodes.
Perhaps, in their minds, if it weren't for the main forces of evil besieging Gondor and being held back by the Gondor country, then the whole world would have been destroyed long ago.
As for the demons of the north, what is it? tens of meters high, hundreds of meters big? It's not, what is it?
From the beginning of the outbreak of the demonic plague, through the initial shock, to the subsequent panic, to the later despair, and then to the inexplicable appearance of the turnaround, until now the situation is gradually clear, the hearts of the Gondor people, luck and conceit began to spread again.
Conceit is not a very shameful emotion, because it needs to be based on long-term self-confidence, and when this emotion does not belong to an individual but to a country or nation, then it must have a real component!
In the past, Gondor did have the qualifications to be called the strongest in the continent's comprehensive strength! At least for a certain period of time, the king of Gondor even dared to crown himself with the crown of God!
Today, in Gondor alone, the cry for reconquest is stronger than in the whole of Middle-earth. They think it's a hero's call!
One after another adventure groups are heading towards the Pinas Forest, and one after another "heroes" who have fallen at the feet of legendary dragon monsters, are the products of this call.
Even the young prince of Doran Rose followed the trend and sent a team of newly trained traditional knights towards the forest.
Of course, with the collapse of this team, the prince wisely suppressed the voice of the follow-up battle and chose to watch for the time being. His reason was to prevent the return of the Umbar pirates, which left the warlike people with nothing to say, because the pirates' nightmare was like yesterday.
Whether the Umbar pirates will invade on a large scale again, no one can say for sure.
The prince was sure that the legendary monster with dragon blood in the Pinas Forest was definitely not something that ordinary people could deal with.
He had the last magical message from the Fallen Knight, an abstract picture of despair, vaguely depicting the terrifying size of a gigantic steel monster!
The power of magic is not fake, so no matter how blurry the picture is, the prince is very sure that if this monster is not a reality, then his swan knights, who have not yet been reorganized, may not be able to come back.
This kind of giant beast is just like the legendary dragon Smauggo, whoever stands up for it is unlucky, and the fool will go to the hero.
Smaugo's prestige is also bathed in the blood of a lake.
Deep in the Pinas Forest, in what used to be known as Pinas Green, the demonized Behemoth is enjoying another feast.
Pinas Green is not entirely composed of dense forests and ancient trees, but it does have a lot of dense forests and grasses, mainly low mountains, so it is often regarded as the second largest forest in the south. First of all, of course, it is the Fagong Forest, a forbidden land for humans, and I heard that it is the hometown of the Tree People.
A twenty-meter-tall ancient beast with a body similar to that of an Ancestral Tyrannosaurus. Its tail is longer than that of a tyrannosaurus rex, its scales are thicker, and its overall appearance is full of violent ferocity, and it is not bloated.
The most surprising thing is that part of its body is exposed, and some of the dragon skins actually have a metallic color, as if they have been splashed with gold juice.
On closer inspection, its thick hind legs look like they're completely wrapped in a few pieces of steel, and its toe claws are all polished from tough steel and shiny.
It's like someone has directly inserted a steel plate into the fragile part of the monster's body, one on the left and one on the right, one on the front and one on the back, and the rows of raw and raw ones are merged into the flesh and blood!
That's not all, with its accidental movements, those heavy and strong nails are lifted, and others will find that what is hidden under the armor pieces is not the tender skin and flesh, but the silver and shiny brushed metal!
It opened its huge mouth, its bright red tongue was fleshy, with a fishy wind and rough barbs, and its mouth full of steel teeth was real steel.
Its eyes are fiery red, with the vertical pupils characteristic of beasts, and it is both cold and crazy. The clear color is like a crystal carving, and it can release the ray of death at any time.
As it eats again and again, the satisfaction in its eyes is completely wild instinct, and it doesn't seem to have independent intelligence!
The beast opened its muzzle, its tongue curled and its teeth grinded, and swallowed a pile of minced flesh into its belly.
If Leo were here, he would definitely find that he was six points similar to Ling Qi's pet companion Godzilla. But it's bigger, it's more terrifying, and it's less like a creature!
It's moving, it's patrolling, but it's not like the patrol of the living, it's like the dead wandering aimlessly, or some kind of fixed pattern of action!
Leo won't believe it, let alone admit that it's Godzilla!
The Godzilla he knew should have listened to him and embarked on the path of finding freedom in order to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy that had happened to him!
Frodeweis, north of the Grey Mountain, is an abandoned land in the far north of Middle-earth, much further north than the Lonely Mountain, which is known as the northern barrier.
Leo made a difficult trek with the few remaining forest elves in an attempt to find a place to stay.
Against his father's wishes, he resolutely refused to go to the West to seek refuge as the king of the West. His idea won the support of his brother, but the idea of going north ran counter to the other party's request to go south. As a last resort, he could only engage in a split and a firefight.
The result was not as good as expected, because the elves of Roslorian suddenly appeared and rescued the seriously injured Legolas, which also caused most of the forest elves who escaped from the dark forest to be full of evil feelings towards him.
He tried to use the prestige of the elven prince to suppress all opposing voices, but in the end, all he gained was the firm followers of more than thirty elves.
Fortunately, his goal has been achieved, and he went north not to coax the elves' "enemy edge", but to avoid the old master Ling Qi!
Although he doesn't think his actions are an unforgivable betrayal, he doesn't know what happened to Godzilla later. But he knew Ling Qi's character and thought that he had a good reason to leave Ling Qi and conform to the "arrangement" that dominated this reincarnation.
The identity of the prince, the truth behind the unexpectedly breaking the vow, is that the ruler wants to give him a chance to be reborn!
Who says that followers have no human rights? Everyone is equal in the eyes of the master! Leo firmly believes this!
As for whether he can return to the reincarnation space, Leo doesn't care at all.
Once what he wanted was a recognition, and Ling Qi gave it to him, so he became Ling Qi's follower.
Now, what he wants is freedom, which Ling Qi can never give, so he has only one choice.
In all fairness, Ling Qi is not a harsh master, and complains only that there is an irreconcilable conflict between the nature of their lives and their ideological consciousness.
He didn't want to, he didn't want to see another partner fall in front of him, and the object of his allegiance was given indifference and indifference!
He can be ruthless, because he was once a wood elf who didn't have many human rights.
But he is still an elf after all, and he cannot be indifferent to everything.
Since the evolution of the bloodline, since he had enjoyed the attention and care he had never had before, his mind had more than once thought of the girl lying on the sickbed in the radiation plane. It was just a passer-by in his life, and perhaps Ling Qi had forgotten that there had been such an insignificant person even earlier. But he always remembered that she had been one of them, and she wasn't the only one who was overlooked.
He ended her suffering with his own hands, and at that time he was willing to bear this sin, until now, he had to let go of his baggage, not let everything repeat itself, and not let everything repeat itself on himself!
Maybe that man is sometimes quite good to his own people, and he often has the idea of taking care of his own people, but the indifference in his bones will always prompt him to make some impersonal decisions at critical moments, and that is what Leo can't accept!
He is Leo, a ruthless wood elf, a much-loved elven prince, and a life-loving race of beings!
That man represents the exact opposite of what he and all the races of life are pursuing.
What that person wants is not even eternal life and a happy life!
