Chapter 30: The Expedition Begins.
World of the Ring, Middle-earth, Rivendell.
The matter was settled, and at the suggestion of the Elven King Elon, everyone rested in Rivendell for two days, and then replenished the necessary things for the journey, such as weapons, food, etc., and then everyone set out on an expedition until the Mordor Doom Volcano, into which the expeditionary force was to throw the Ring into the volcano.
After that, the elven king Elon provided three sets of standard weapons per team for the reincarnation team and others free of charge, an elven sword, which can emit light when the half-orc soldiers approached, and a chain mail with Mithril added to it, which can defend against ordinary sword weapons, of course, because the place where everyone wants to march has to go over the mountains, so the expected war horses are gone, and everyone can only go to Mordor on foot, or go to the country of Rohan to buy war horses after crossing the mountains.
Looking at the equipment sent by the elves on the table, everyone looked at it curiously. "The craftsmanship of these elves is really good, each of them has a B-level level, and it is also equipped with enchantments, if it is in the main god, it should be a B-level side plot to redeem it, right?" Zheng Zha was playing with a sword, but despite that, he still felt that his Tiger Soul Sword was better.
"Spicy chicken. These so-called elven standard weapons are just a joke, the only thing that is useful to us is the enchantment that this so-called half-orc soldier glows when he approaches, and I've cracked it, in fact, if it's not in this movie, it's useless at all. And the so-called chain mail with Mithril added, the real Mithril content, accounts for less than five percent of this chain mail, and the defense power is not even 30% compared to the defense power of our Middle-earth team's standard standard armor. It's just lighter, and nothing else has any effect at all. Of course, we can either trade it with other natives, and this kind of chain mail seems to be more valuable in this world, because this world is poorer, or we can get some Mithril and exchange it for something more valuable. ”
"So who should be the three of us who should participate in the expedition this time?" Zheng Zha asked.
Li Nan, who was eating the fruit provided by the elves, said, "This expedition has me, Zhan Lan and Sister Sakura to participate, and the rest will stay in Rivendell. But it should not be long before I have to participate in those important battles in the original book, so this kind of detachment will appear, so the combat power of the fourth-order advanced is only enough for me, and it is estimated that the other teams will be similar. Then, after the battle, we will meet at Mordor. ”
In the end, Li Nan's plan was passed, and the next day, the Demon Realm Expedition officially assembled. The members of the Celestial Team were Luo Yinglong and his girlfriend, and there was also a fourth-order mid-level strengthened man who was the druid's animal spirit. And Zhang Heng, the clone of the demon team, and the Muay Thai fighter called Guess, and the female spiritual ability. The Nanyan team is the green Xiang trio that they have met in the Star River team, Neos, Hofer and Richard. And the Northern Ice Team, who is still the captain, Gunnier with an old combination of ice and archers.
Came to the entrance of the city, went through a ceremony, and finally led the speech of King Elron, which ended when Li Nandu was almost asleep.
"The vow-bearers are ready to set off to Mount Doom. Those who travel with him are not bound by any vows, no commitments, and can interrupt the journey at any time. Goodbye, hold on to your purpose, and may all elves and humans ...... The blessings of the free people follow you. ”
Well, the leader's speech is also over, and Li Nan is finally relieved. But at the end, there was an inexplicable pause, the people of freedom, that is, the dwarves were not mentioned until the end, how can you make Jin Thunder embarrassed. Sure enough, the elves are a race of hypocrisy.
"The expedition awaits the Keeper of the Vows." Finally, Gandalf shouted.
The hobbits, who couldn't stand it anymore, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that they could go. However, even at the age of fifty, it still can't change the hobbit as a funny character. Just after the official departure, all the team members followed Frodo and walked out of the gate of the elven city. Then Frodo suddenly remembered, "Damn, I don't know the way to Mordor." "Gandalf, is Mordor to the left or right?" In desperation, Frodo could only turn to Gandalf for help.
"To the left." Gandalf whispered calmly. Thankfully, God's teammate Gandalf didn't disappoint him. However, Li Nan looked at Gandalf's calm appearance, and it was estimated that he was used to the unreliability of the hobbits. Sure enough, habit is a terrible thing.
However, although the voice of the two of them was still very low, all the people present were masters, and none of this team except for the hobbits were lower than the fourth order, and even the weakest Boromo was a fourth-order junior master. Therefore, Frodo's words were not surprisingly heard by everyone.
Li Nan covered his forehead and said to Zhan Lan and Sister Sakura beside him: "I don't know why, after listening to Frodo's words, I feel that the road ahead is bleak, this is the rhythm of the pill in the Middle-earth Continent." Is it too late for us to surrender to Mordor now? ”
Listening to Li Nan's words, even Sister Sakura, who had always been nothing, covered her mouth and turned her head aside. Everyone else agreed with Li Nan's words, but Frodo was the only one who looked very ugly as if he had eaten the wrong thing.
After leaving the elven city, the team kept moving south, and although it was dragged down by the hobbits, with the help of Zhan Lan's buff spell, the speed of the journey was also greatly improved. In just five days, everyone had walked from the plains to the hills.
At noon that day, Sam the hobbit was cooking food for the crowd. Because of his strength, he couldn't help much in terms of combat, so Sam wrapped up the cooking on the way. As a hobbit, he also loves cooking very much, and his skills are also very good, so everyone in the team unanimously approved the proposal. The other two hobbits were not idle, they were swordsmanship with Boromo scholars. Of course, their strength is unsightly in the eyes of everyone. As for Frodo, the temptation to fight against the Lord of the Rings has exhausted all his energy, but with the help of Zhan Lan's spiritual magic recently, life has been much better.
"We'll walk for forty days west of the Misty Mountains, and if we're lucky, we'll be able to reach the Khan Pass, and from there we'll head east to Mordor." Gandalf placed the map on top of the rocks and explained the route he had set to the rest of the team.
Li Nan shrugged his shoulders, and then said, "We'll take the money to do things, and the employer will go wherever he says." Regarding Li Nan's remarks, other reincarnators are very supportive, but there are also those who oppose it.
The dwarf Jin Pi, who was watching from a short distance into the distance, said, "Although you don't ask my opinion, I still want to say that we are taking a long detour. Gandalf, we can walk through the Moriah Pits, and my cousin Bahrain will give us a warm welcome with royal courtesy. ”
"No, Golden Thunderbolt." Gandalf, who was smoking, did not hesitate to reject Golden Bolt's offer: "There is no choice but to go to the Moriah Pits." In this regard, Jin Pi expressed a puzzled look.
At this moment, Legolas, the elven prince, seemed to notice that something was wrong, and stood on top of a high rock, looking into the distance. With the exception of Boromo and Aragorn, who were playing with the hobbits, everyone else looked in the direction Legolas was looking. In the distance, it looked like a dark cloud was being blown towards them.
"What's that?" Sam, a hobbit who also found the situation, asked curiously.
"It's nothing, it's just a dark cloud." And the dwarf Jin Pi is obviously also a rough nerve that lacks a sense of crisis.
"It's windy, but it's moving fast." Boromo also realized that something was wrong.
"It's the raven of Denland! Hide! Legolas shouted.
After listening to Legolas's words, everyone put away what was placed on the ground, and his accomplice Sam also put out the campfire, and then covered the fire with nearby dirt, and finally everyone hid under the gap in the rocks to prevent the crows from discovering it.
Soon the crow came to where everyone was, and then circled around for a while, as if it had not found anything, and then flew off into the distance.
When the crows were far away, the crowd crawled out of the gaps in the stones. "Saruman's eyeliner, the southern road is under surveillance. We must climb the Karranas mountain. As he spoke, Gandalf turned to look at the towering snow-capped mountain in the distance, a steep snow-capped mountain at least several thousand meters high.
In comparison, the members of the reincarnation team are not too nervous, after all, although the technology props are ineffective for the plot characters, they are very effective for them, if they encounter any danger on the mountain, they only need to use their respective team's vehicles to return safely, so in this state of mind, only a few plot characters in the team have objections, but at Gandalf's insistence, the team still climbed to the top of the hill, and gradually, the team has entered the snowy mountain.
"I didn't expect Saruman to recover so quickly, my blow is a demigod-level spell, even Saruman, after being hit directly, he will definitely be seriously injured, and it is a cluster cannon, it should be very damaging to the spirit and soul." Walking on the snowy mountain, Zhan Lan said puzzled.
Li Nan shook his head, and then said, "Since Arwen's secret technique can heal my injuries, it is also normal for Saruman to have the medicine of the data soul in his hand. After all, even if we have the backing of the main god and there is never a shortage of medicines, we can't watch the plot characters too little. Approaching Saruman is also a veteran demigod mage, and he has a secret medicine or something in his hand, so it's not surprising. ”
As the group went deeper into the snowy mountains, the wind and snow became more and more severe, and the snow had reached everyone's waists, and if it was a hobbit, almost the whole person had already fallen into the snow, and now it was Aragorn and Borromo who were carrying the four hobbits forward.
Gradually, the mountain road became steeper, and there was a snowstorm all around, everyone carefully leaned against the mountain wall, except for Zheng Zhe, who was not affected at all, the rest of the people were affected in the face of such a natural power, and the speed of the team was getting slower and slower.
At that moment, a majestic sound began to spread from the air, and it was the voice of an elderly man chanting a mantra, which was difficult to understand, but it seemed very melodic.
"That's Saruman!" Gandalf immediately roared loudly, and as he roared, the solemn voice suddenly became clear, and it resounded throughout the mountains as if it were the voice of a god or a giant.
As his voice sounded, the blizzard became more violent, and Gandalf immediately recited another incantation aloud, and after more than ten seconds, it was Gandalf's incantation that was recited first.
The dwarf Jin Pi immediately asked, "Did you win?" That wizard isn't your opponent, is he? ”
"No, he's the chief wizard and the lesser god, he's a much more powerful wizard than me, I hope my shield can withstand his magic, I can only pray," Gandalf said silently.
Li Nan said loudly: "Gandalf, you form the first defense, and I will form the second defense, which should be able to block this spell." But what I'm worried about is whether this place can support it. ”
Suddenly, a thunderbolt fell straight down from the air, landing dozens of meters away from him, where there was a violent explosion, followed by the second thunderbolt, the third thunderbolt dense thunder and lightning fell down like rain, and when those thunderbolts hit everyone, a translucent protective shield appeared on their periphery, and the violent explosion occurred on the protective shield, which shook the protective shield, but after all, it blocked the direct bombardment of the thunder and lightning. At the same time, inside Gandalf's shield, a light blue shield appeared again, which was Li Nan's Klein Force Field. After seeing this force field, those who had experienced Saruman's spell attack before were slightly relieved, obviously more confident in Li Nan's shield, after all, it could stand up to verification.
Everyone raised their eyes, the attack range of this thunder and lightning group has reached the entire mountain top and hillside, a meter thick thunder and lightning fell from the air with a snap, and then there was a violent explosion like a bomb, everyone only felt that their eyes were going to be blind, and the surrounding area was densely packed with thunder and lightning, they were like showers in a rain of thunder and lightning, such a terrifying scene, if it weren't for the protective shield that Gandalf desperately supported to block the thunder and lightning that bombarded them, if it weren't for the fact that these thunderbolts attacked a large area, instead of only falling on them, They're probably going to die here, even with Gandalf's protection!
It wasn't until the last lightning bolt blasted on the snowy mountain that the hellish scene finally ended, and everyone dared to open their eyes to see that the mountain road they were standing on had been completely buried by the falling snow rocks, Gandalf's protective shield blocked these snowy rocks, and the places without protective shields around them had been destroyed beyond recognition, especially the section of the road up the mountain, which was bombarded into pieces by lightning and lightning, and there was no way up the mountain except for the broken road to the bottom of the cliff.
The power of this thunder and lightning is so terrifying, within a radius of thousands of meters, all of them have been baptized by thunder and lightning, this terrifying power.
At this time, Gandalf's shield also disappeared, but of course Li Nan's Klein force field continued to be maintained. Seeing everyone's relieved looks, Li Nan said: "It's not over yet, the avalanche is coming, everyone should grasp it, if the force field is broken." Don't be swept away by an avalanche. ”
Then a large amount of snow washed down from the mountain peaks above the people's heads, and then instantly buried the place where the people were. As the snow continued to pour down, the power of nature's fury was no less powerful than Saruman's spells before. The Klein force field was also crumbling under Li Nan's hard support.
However, Li Nan, who connected the ship's mother, finally survived with the power bonus of the ship's mother. After about ten minutes, Li Nan could no longer feel the pressure of the snow pouring down, and it seemed that the avalanche outside had stopped.
After more than ten minutes, everyone finally climbed out from under the snow of more than ten meters, and most of them were lying on the snow weakly panting.
