Chapter 114: War Fortress - Isengard
Hermione, who was hiding in her shape, gently curled the corners of her mouth, and counted a few counts in her heart, sure enough, more than ten seconds later, the human-faced spider who had just lost its cub pounced on the four people, and was punched away by an alert knight, and the six feet were busy on the ground for a while, and the human-faced spider who stood up again went crazy and bit at their war horse, and the necromantic knight jumped off the horse in order to protect the war horse under him, and stood on the path of the human-faced spider, but unexpectedly, when he was about to make contact, The human-faced spider suddenly moved sideways, and bypassed the knight by virtue of the strength of the tree next to it, and the sharp fangs bit the horse's belly, and the knight's mistake caused his horse to suffer a heavy blow, and in anger he turned around and pulled one of the feet of the human-faced spider with one hand, pulled a beautiful arc in the air, and fell a big tree next to him.
The human-faced spider collapsed to the ground, a pale blue liquid flowing from its massive belly, and its neck shook, and it spewed out a stream of white, viscous liquid beyond the knight.
Before the liquid touched the knight's body, a black spear fell from the sky, pierced its tail through the lower abdomen of the human-faced spider, and nailed it to the ground, and the green liquid flowed out loudly, and the human-faced spider was going to die.
A knight pulled the viscous liquid that had accidentally stuck to his clothes, and found that this thing should be something similar to a spider web, with a very high viscosity, and if he accidentally stuck to the ground by this thing, he was afraid that it would not be able to solve it for a while.
Laboriously taking off all those things, the knight just wanted to get on the horse, and suddenly sprayed countless liquids in all directions, the same as the human-faced spider that had been killed just now, these liquids were all white viscous shapes, under such a dense attack, the four of them were somewhat contaminated with these very troublesome gadgets.
The four of them looked up and looked around, at least twenty human-faced spiders surrounded them, and the four of them took out their weapons one after another, compared to the back of a tricky battle.
Although these face spiders had a numerical advantage, the individual combat power of the Necro Knight was so strong that it took less than half an hour to destroy them one by one.
And these necromantic knights only suffered some flesh wounds, and before they could spit on the corpses of these monsters, one of the female voices suddenly said, "Oh no, the target is gone!" ”
Only then did everyone notice that the target they had been following all the way for several days had disappeared, and it seemed that the other party had quietly taken advantage of the battle just now to quietly take the Supreme Crown and escape! The four of them hurriedly assigned their tasks and each sped away in one direction.
Half a day later, Hermione, who had taken off her crown, poked her head out of the place where the spider eggs were arranged, it turned out that Hermione not only arranged a few planks here, but also dug a small pit of more than half a meter next to it, and when those knights and human-faced spiders were scuffling together, Hermione quietly hid in this hole, and waited for those knights to search separately for a long time before appearing.
Hermione closed her eyes and listened carefully for a while, but without noticing any unusual movements, she walked briskly northwest. To the northwest of this dark forest, there is an elven city called Lorrain.
After Hongjun rested for a few hours, he came to the outer room full of energy, and saw Sauron who was here to look at this and touch that, curiously studying the furnishings in the room, as if those things that he had become accustomed to hiding profound truths.
Hongjun coughed lightly, and Sauron noticed that Hongjun had come out of the inner room, so he wanted to talk to the other party in a hurry, but Hongjun asked the other party to prepare lunch first, and Sauron pouted and went out.
At noon, a group of people listened to Hongjun talk while eating, "Now, Hermione, the reincarnation of Feng Lixi, should be in the dark and dense forest in the north, and when you finish eating, Taishang, you go over there to look for it, only explore in the air, don't show up, if there is danger, you can help secretly, Bai Ze, the four of you will also go, I will go to Mordor first, and then I will go to find you." ”
The few people who were arranged all nodded in agreement, thanked Sauron again for his food, and then set off under the leadership of Taishang.
In the afternoon, Hongjun took Athena and Marilyn, and still made the carriage that he rode in last night when he was kidnapped, but it had been replaced with a clean carpet and seats, the difference was that Sauron was also in the carriage, and the groom was naturally undertaken by Sauron's subordinates.
Along the way, Hongjun and Sauron discussed some details of this orc war, and decided to let Sauron continue to carry out the plan as if there was no Hongjun. Hongjun has been persuaded by Sauron, but he proposed to push back a period of time in the schedule, Hongjun wants to infiltrate the crown expeditionary force prepared by Gandalf to help Hermione, so that he can have more contact with the other party without revealing his identity, of course, the manpower prepared by Gandalf has been instructed by Sauron, and has been replaced by members of various races belonging to the human camp, according to the calculation of days, if Hermione can get rid of the tracking of those necromantic knights, then it will only take less than a week to cross the dark forest to reach the agreed place.
And the orcs no longer continue to attack Gondor, in fact, the wave of sending those stupid orcs to Gondor is just to consume them, and the last time they sent twice as many troops were actually specially prepared for Hongjun by Eugene's report, the purpose is naturally to let the two stand up and join the battle, which can be regarded as an accident in the plan, but now this accident will cooperate with Sauron's plan, so this battle between the human alliance and the orc army is already imminent.
As soon as reinforcements from the races and human nations arrived, the two sides would launch a decisive battle on the narrow plains east of Gondor and west of the Doomsday Mountains, a crucial war that would determine the future of humanity in the eyes of humanity, and in the eyes of some was nothing more than a planned depopulation plan. The result has long been predestined, in the face of the huge orc legion, the human alliance still has a huge disadvantage, the command between different races and different countries is the biggest problem, and the number is less than one-third of the orcs, then the two decided to consume more in the early stage, and after Hermione completes the task of dissolving the Supreme Crown, Sauron will pretend to lose energy and make the morale of the human alliance high, and the orc army without unified command is destined to be a plate of scattered sand, It has become a battle feat of the human coalition.
At this time, Hongjun and his entourage have arrived on the plain between Gondor and Mordor, Hongjun opened the curtain and looked at the plain outside with a width of only about ten kilometers, the manpower of the two sides can only be spread horizontally, and the battle will inevitably fall into a decisive battle at the first time, and the two sides who have no way out have no other way but to fight each other.
That night, after the carriage passed through a narrow and closed canyon, Mordor was completely exposed on three sides, surrounded by mountains. The ravines were covered with lava, and as far as the eye could see, an active volcano about six or seven hundred meters high was emitting black smoke, and from time to time several streams of magma were spewing out of it. According to distant legends, when the doomsday volcano erupts on a large scale, the entire Middle-earth world will be turned into a lava country, dark clouds will block the sun, and magma will burn everything on the ground, which is the origin of the name Doomsday Volcano. The legend is merely a legend, and the doomsday volcano has remained in this state of eruption for thousands of years, and the legends about it are rarely mentioned.
Sauron's palace is on the west side of this Doomsday Volcano, a circular war fortress, six or seven kilometers in diameter, of which there is a minaret more than three hundred meters high in the middle, and at the top of the tower is a huge, oval object that looks like an eye, seeing Hongjun's gaze on the minaret, Sauron explained, "This is the main device of the crystal ball transmission, it is a huge metal sheet, it took me more than ten years to polish and shape, and it took a few years to build that tower, At that height, it can travel signals far away, and each crystal ball will start to vibrate at a specific frequency after receiving energy, and when the vibration is the same as the vibration frequency on this tower, the two sides can talk. In addition, he looks like an eye, which was inadvertently made like that to provide him with energy, and the good guys call him the Eye of Hell. ”
Hongjun nodded and asked, "What is the name of your city?" ”
Sauron, on the other hand, said proudly, "War Fortress - Isengard!" ”
Looking at the towering buildings in the city, Hongjun sighed, "It's indeed more spectacular than other places, but this air... ”
Sauron didn't care, "Orcs like this kind of environment, and we demons are not picky about the environment, plus this is one of the weak points, so... It's just that some of the human races here are a little uncomfortable. But after I provided sufficient research funds and materials, they stopped complaining. ”
Hongjun said strangely: "You still have humans here engaged in scientific research?" ”
Sauron nodded, "Yes, a lot of human alchemists or researchers in various other aspects are here, these people don't value camps and forces, their energy is all focused on research, I like to collect these people very much, and I have collected a lot over the years, and I have never limited their research direction and methods, as long as I think it is reliable, they all want what to give." Not only here, but to the east of Mordor, where the air is OK, there are a dozen guys who study plants, and I don't know much about what high-yielding crops have been working on lately. But if they wait for them to study the things that can increase food production, then the number of people in this world will increase. ”
