104 The Whisper and the Noldor Grudge
Dressed in blue cloaks and riding on snow-white horses, the cavalry team was like a spear that suddenly attacked, and quickly caught up with the fleeing orc team in the plains under the night, and then pierced the already scattered enemy formation with a single shot!
There were not many of them, and they were torn apart by the impact of this attack, and this group of orcs was all disintegrated in a short time, whether they were resisting or fleeing, and under the sound of horses' hooves, they all entered the palace of death.
The leader who led the charge saw the figure jumping from the eagle clearly.
Holding a silver long sword, because it was out of the battlefield, the black blood stained on the sword had been wiped clean by the master at this time.
Dressed in a white fur cloak and knee-high robes, his clothes looked a little messy and torn, but judging by the normal movements of this man and the faint black metallic sheen that shimmered in the gaps in his clothes, it was clear that he had defended well and had not been harmed in the slightest.
As the horses approached, the cavalry leader, Lochfeld, asked, "Are you?" ”
"Carnir, from Osiriande." The other replied as he sheathed his sword.
So Rochifel found that in addition to the bow and arrows on his body, he also carried three long swords.
However, he didn't pay much attention to this, because when he heard the name, he immediately recognized who this person was.
Monarch of the newly-born kingdom of Linton in the East, a member of the royal family of Noldor, and the son of Princess Arityl.
Although the southeastern woodland kingdom could not compete with their northwestern garrisons, the identity of this royal family was still full of influence.
So Lochifel hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and then bowed.
"May the stars shine on you forever, Lord Carnir from Osirionde."
Charles also turned back and saluted, with no arrogance in his posture.
Although in his heart he was dissatisfied with the appearance of these cavalry.
That's right, dissatisfaction.
Although Charles didn't expect to encounter this group of orcs this time, it was just the right time for him to experiment with his Psychic Shadow ability, which he hadn't used for a long time.
Since this ability changed in Doriath, he had only tested it on the mountain beasts of the Gangdorin forest, and the conditions were limited, and the effect was never clear.
And the adventurous raid just now was actually another attempt by him.
It's a pity that it was interrupted.
The power brewing in his eyes had already retracted, but the strange voice that faintly floated around him still seemed to echo in his ears, and he still secretly thought about it when he talked to the officer named Rochfeld.
Compared to the previous Psychic Shadow ability, which could only take effect alone, his changed ability at this time can already be called a "group attack".
It's not that his eyes can make many targets hit at once, in fact, this ability still needs to be eye-to-eye, and it's not just a casual look.
However, at this time, after this ability is successfully activated, a strange voice will be quietly born, and it will faintly float around him, covertly and dangerously affecting all the surrounding existence.
Because of the short period of time, Charles did not fully understand the extent of this image, but as far as we know so far, it is enough to explain some of the effects.
It can control, or rather blind, and intimidate the minds of its targets!
The sound of the demon shadow was like a shackle, blinding and threatening the fragile orcs, so that soon after Charles landed, some of the orcs who attacked him nearby could not bear it anymore.
Charles felt that the situation was similar to that of Sauron's psychic invasion against him, but the orcs seemed to have no resistance to the Vera voice.
The effect is wonderful, but Charles doesn't think it's really useful.
Because the range is very small, it can only affect so many dozen or twenty animals.
This is very useful in small skirmishes, but it is not expected to be of much use in the face of a full-fledged war.
However, Charles is basically satisfied with this, he feels that this ability is an unexpected gain, and although the effect is not strong, it is somewhat a special means of protection for him who is still quite vulnerable.
……
"How often do these orcs come out on the march?"
The big black eagle hovered in the sky at this time, and did not come down again.
The Charles, on a horse relinquished by the cavalry, followed the cavalry leader, Lochfeld.
"That's right, every few days they sneak out to get past our lines." The other replied, and then proudly said, "But they never succeeded even once!" ”
Charles couldn't help but be stunned by these words, but perhaps the cavalry leader also found out about his "doubts", so he hurriedly added: "I mean that the area we are responsible for has never been infiltrated. Other places ......"
As he spoke, he changed his words: "The two lords Angrod and Agnor are cautious, and the geographical advantage of the Dosonian Highlands is very strong, and I have not heard of an Orc crossing their defenses. Lord Mezlos to the east is just as admirable, but his younger brothers are not so ...... I mean, the two attacks you've had were from their side. ”
"You know, my lord, this is not a shirk of responsibility, it is what it is."
Needless to say, Charles knew that. After all, the location of his two attacks was in the east, not the west. It is impossible for the enemy to break through from the west in a big way.
But in fact, he didn't fully agree with this person's words.
Although there was little contact, and although his temper was generally unpleasant, he believed that several royal lords in the eastern part of the enclosure line still had some ability.
Now this person's tone is not good, obviously because of past grievances.
Yes, there is not harmony within the Noldor.
Although the Noldor tribe was united, in fact, most of the Noldor preferred to follow Finn rather than the supreme king at that time, Fëanor, so the team was divided into two groups at that time.
One is led by Finn, and the other is ruled by Fëanor.
For various reasons, Fëanor placed Finn's half-brother with him during the migration, so that he and his people could not reach Zhongzhou by boat, but could only walk through the cruel environment of the frozen canyon, so that he suffered heavy casualties.
Later, they had many more conflicts, so much so that the relationship fell to a freezing point.
It wasn't until Finn's son Finnó took an adventure to save Fëanor's eldest son from danger that the relationship between the two parties eased, and the severed hand of Mezlos gave up the throne of the family that should have been inherited by him to his uncle Finn.
However, the relationship between the members of the royal family has eased slightly, but the impression of ordinary Noldor is not so easy to fade.
Elves have long memories, and most of the Noldor will never forget the countless sad events that happened in the frozen canyon, and naturally they will not forget who caused it.
So the seven sons of the former High King ran with their followers to the east of the encirclement line, but the current High King's territory was to the west, separated by the Finrod lineage.
The main reason is the fear of mixing together and having another conflict.
When he was in Gangdorin, this kind of family history Shire was not less evil, so if he didn't know enough about it, he could be regarded as knowing the details. It is not difficult to understand why the words of the person in front of him are full of hostility towards those kinds.
Along the way, this group of cavalry, which also numbered no more than 100 people, gradually rushed towards the shadow of the mountain in the southwest, and after leaving their horses in a military camp at the foot of the mountain, they climbed the steep mountain road on foot, and finally came to a mountain fortress that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Ballard Ethel.
The white-covered fortress guards the only northern gateway to Heslum, the High King's realm, and is located in the mountains, and is an important checkpoint on which the Noldor depends.
This is also the place where Fengong, the eldest son of Fen Guo, is stationed all year round, and Charles came here to find out more about this Fengong.
