Two days later, at night.

Inside the Confusion Mountains, the tent of the staff where Sauron was.

A staff officer was facing Sauron, reporting with a sad face: "General, we have only a small part of our military rations left, and it is expected that we will run out in another day." Even if the number of meals is reduced, it will not last for three days, and the soldiers below have great complaints. I recommend ......"

In the end, the staff officer swallowed his saliva and hesitated.

Sauron looked at the staff officer, squinted his eyes and asked, "Mr. Cobb, what do you suggest?"

"I suggest ......" The staff officer looked up, glanced at Sauron, and whispered, "Do you want to try to make contact with the sarin?"

"You mean surrender?"

"This ......" The staff officer hesitated for a while, but finally did not deny it, and nodded.

"I wonder, is this what the whole staff means, or is it your own?"

"Yes...... It's my own meaning, General. ”

"Do you know what that means?"

"This ......"

"This is treason!" said Sauron, solemnly.

The staff officer's eyes shrank, and he said sharply: "General, I am also thinking about everyone, if we continue to be trapped like this, we will all starve to death." ”

Sauron didn't listen at all, and shouted out of the tent, "Guard!"

Immediately, two heavily armed knights in magic armor walked in, glanced at them, and at Sauron's signal, dragged the staff officer who suggested surrender and walked out.

When the guards left, Sauron glanced at all the staff officers in the tent and asked in a deep voice, "Does anyone else want to suggest surrender?"

No one spoke up.

"Good. "Gentlemen, I know the situation is terrible, but I don't think it's the worst yet, and it's too early to prepare to surrender now. ”

Taking a deep breath, Sauron continued: "More than three years ago, the Soma Alliance was still the most powerful country in this continent, but suddenly His Majesty died, and many princes fought among themselves to seize power, and the Soma Alliance began to continue to weaken. Until now, the new emperor has been killed openly, the murderer is at large, and the enemy country is watching and waiting for an opportunity to strike. The whole alliance can be said to be on the verge of collapse, and as a soldier, I can't turn it around, but as a soldier, I have to do something.

It is true that there is only one day's amount of food, but if we kill the war horses in order and reduce the food appropriately, we can still support it for at least seven days. Seven days is enough to do a lot.

I can't ask you to die and die with me, but I hope you will at least persevere to the end, until there is really no hope, and then give up. Is that okay?"

There was silence in the tent for a while, and then the staff officers nodded one after another.

"Good. Sauron looked out of the tent again and said, "Guards, go and get the wizard of Huller." ”

"Yes. ”

After a while, the sorcerer Abu Yul walked into the tent, a green robe crumpled and sticking to his body, and his face was tired, as if he hadn't slept for days.

Sauron glanced at the other party and said with some apologies: "Wizard Yule, I'm sorry, I only let you rest for a while, and then I woke you up." However, the situation is special, so I would like to ask you to tell you what you have discovered. ”

"Yes, General. The wizard Hule nodded, without saying anything, walked towards the sand table, picked up the wooden stick, and said to the many staff officers, "Ladies and gentlemen, in the past few days, I have been following the instructions of the general, leading many wizards to reconnoiter the entire Confusion Mountain Range, trying to find a way out of this 'encirclement'.

Naturally, some of the secondary passages were also completely blocked by Shalin, but after all, Shalin did not have the ability to turn the entire Confused Mountain Range into an iron bucket, and among these many high mountains, I managed to find three paths. ”

When the staff officers heard this, they were first shocked, and then their eyes lit up.

After all, if there is a path, there is hope.

"Two of the three trails were narrow and steep, making it difficult to march. "But there is one, relatively smooth, and this path can bypass the Rocks Pass, so that we can shorten the distance to the outer edge of the Sarin Territory, and launch a surprise attack on the Sarin to turn the tide of the situation. ”

After hearing this, all the staff officers had become excited, and they really didn't expect this kind of turnaround, so they all looked at Sauron and asked, "General, give the order." ”

"Hmm. Sauron nodded and said in a deep voice, "The staff made a marching plan as fast as possible, and after the soldiers had a full meal, they set off overnight. I'm going to jump out of this encirclement before dawn, before the sarin is discovered, and take the sarin by surprise. ”

"Yes. Many staff officers immediately got busy.

......

It didn't take long for the army of Sauron, trapped in the Confused Mountains, to begin to move in the thick of the night.

First small groups left the camp, then large groups of large groups set out on the path that the sorcerer Hule had found, and finally one group after another entered the Confused Mountains, into the crevices of barren mountains that had barely been explored.

Late at night, high mountains, foggy.

Mario and the rest of the Red Maple Cavalry Regiment walked cautiously on the road around the mountain, which was less than half a meter wide—on his right, there was a heavy stone wall, and on his left, there was a bottomless cliff, and if he stumbled, there were no bones.

If the infantry walks, it is relatively easy, but it is too difficult for these cavalry to lead the horses.

But no matter how difficult it was, it had to be overcome, and not a single person in the whole regiment complained, and moved forward in silence.

After traveling for several miles, Mario looked at the horse led by a cavalryman not far ahead, and suddenly his hooves became weak, and he collapsed on the mountain road, refusing to get up no matter how he pulled, blocking the entire mountain road.

"What's going on?" someone asked in a low voice.

"I was wounded in battle a few days ago, barely eating, and very weak. I wanted to leave him to fend for himself, but I still couldn't bear it, and wanted to pull him out of this chaotic mountain range. Who knew that when I walked here, I couldn't hold on. The soldier who led the horse replied, sighing a little, "It's a pity that you've followed me for three years." ”

"It's a pity...... the questioner echoed, pausing, "But at this time, no one wants to." ”

"yes, no one wants to. The soldier said, silent for two seconds, and then made a request, "Help the handle." ”

"Hey, okay. A few men cautiously squeezed over to the collapsed horse, with their hands on the horse.

"One, two, three, push!"

"Shhhh

Several people exerted force at the same time, and they saw the horses let out a long howl, writhing their bodies and falling into the cliff, and disappeared.

The team resumed moving, and Mario pursed his lips and followed without saying anything.
