Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Disbanded Expedition
World of the Ring, Middle-earth, not far from the banks of the river at Daralos Falls.
After eliminating the strong orcs, Aragorn and the others hid the boat and led the team to hide in a dilapidated building nearby, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone had not yet eaten lunch. Of course, in order to avoid the smoke from attracting strong orcs, everyone is just ** spiritual Lambas dry food.
And there are more important things to solve, which is related to the trust of the team, otherwise the people's hearts will be scattered, and the team will not be easy to lead. Since Gandalf's death, Aragon has taken the position of captain on his shoulders, and along the way, he has also expressed that he is tired, as if he has resigned from the position of captain.
After the previous battle, Frodo obviously did not recover, and now he was sitting in the corner, hugging his knees, and then burying his face in his knees. Even if it is good friends Sam and Merry, it is useless for Pippin to comfort him. He hadn't recovered from the fear of the fright just now, and seeing that Sakura's sister's murderous aura still had a great impact on him.
"Tell me about the whole process of what just happened." Aragorn asked Boromo.
At this time, Boromo had already escaped the influence of the Ring, and his expression was very annoyed at this time: "I was confused by the Ring, and then I attacked Frodo and wanted to snatch the Ring. Then, I don't know if Frodo was confused by the Ring while he was struggling, but he clearly wanted to take the Ring with him at the time, and then the little girl stopped us, and she put her dagger against our necks and told us to stop what we were doing. β
Listening to Boromo's words, Aragorn said to Li Nan with dissatisfaction: "Can't you use a more gentle method? Look at Frodo now, he's terrified by you. β
Li Nan shrugged his shoulders, and then said: "He doesn't trust us, so we don't need to care about his feelings, anyway, it's just an employment relationship, and there is no need to treat him as an uncle, as long as we do things according to the contract." β
At this time, Frodo, who had always been in front of an ostrich, suddenly stood up and shouted to Li Nan: "Of course I don't trust you, when you were in the Moriaa Mine, you obviously had a way to save Gandalf, but you didn't save him to death. β
"First of all, Gandalf's life and death are not within the scope of our contract, this is a contract he made, and he knows the details completely." Li Nan raised two fingers, and then said slowly: "Second, who told you that Gandalf is dead, you must know that Gandalf is still alive and well, are you cursing people like this, you hobbits are so rude." β
Because Li Nan's news was so exciting, the characters present couldn't react for a while. After a while, Aragorn asked incredulously, "You mean Gandalf is not dead yet?" β
"Of course." Li Nan shrugged his shoulders, and then said, "He's Gandalf, how could he die so easily." When he returns, he will be Gandalf, a white-robed mage, and the only way to deal with Saruman is to be a white-robed mage. Then Li Nan released another exciting news. What kind of existence is a white-robed mage? Most of the people at the scene immediately remembered the thunder and lightning that looked like a natural disaster in the snowy mountains. Gandalf will turn into that monster-like being?
"This is Gandalf's fate, and it is also his adventure, what reason do we have to stop him, to prevent the birth of a white-robed mage? And you don't have to doubt me, for it won't be long before you will see Gandalf again, all by fate. "Okay, Li Nan turned into a magic stick and began to fool the plot characters.
And Zhang Heng also gritted his teeth and said, "That's right, just like Li Nan said." Damn, the fire demon I worked so hard to defeat, Gandalf's old man robbed me of my monster like that. "His A-level side plot and eight thousand reward points are gone, and he has to suffer the sequelae of using killing stones, and the worst thing is that there are no reward points at all, all of which were snatched by Gandalf, so that damn old man can transform into a white-robed mage.
And at this moment, in the forest outside the dilapidated building, thousands of strong orcs slowly walked out of the forest, and then surrounded the building. Of course, although everyone was resting in the building, they had just experienced the attack of the strong orcs, so how could they be completely defenseless. By the time the orcs came out of the forest, the elven prince Legolas had already spotted them. He was sentry in the second floor of the building at this time, and saw those strong orcs surrounding him from a distance, Legolas jumped from the top of the second floor to the hall on the first floor, and then said: "The strong orcs are here, the number of them may be thousands this time, the strong orcs in this area should have all been hit here, let's break through quickly." β
Listening to Legolas's words, Aragorn pulled out the accessory, saw the pale blue light flickering on it, and cried out in a low voice, "Damn, can't they come later?" β
Then he said to everyone: "Okay, everyone hears it, I hope everyone can work together this time, otherwise I will only have a future where I will be killed by the strong orcs." β
"Alright, stop talking nonsense." When Aragorn was about to say something, Li Nan interrupted him, and then said, "You break out with the Hobbits and the Lord of the Rings, we are responsible for blocking these strong orcs, and then we will go to meet you." β
"Are you sure?" Listening to Li Nan's words, Aragorn laughed angrily, can you have a little team spirit? Now that the enemy is now, can't we unite a little?
Li Nan shrugged his shoulders, and then said: "We are very professional, and we will not stab our own people in the back because of a small misunderstanding or something." We'll help you keep the orcs in check, and maybe a few orcs will be able to break through us, but you should be able to handle these parts. So hurry up and cross the river during this time, and then find a safe place to hide on the other side, and we will meet you. β
"So what do you have to do to get out?" Aragorn asked, puzzled.
Li Nan said lightly: "As long as we destroy all the strong orcs, we can get out smoothly." β
Okay, what a domineering reply, everyone is in a hurry, these are thousands of strong orcs, can you kill them all? Do you think it's a pig slaughter? However, Li Nan said that these strong orcs are to give reward points, and the difficulty still allows you plot characters to rob monsters here? Don't you see, my brothers' eagles are hungry and thirsty? That's thousands of strong orcs, and even if each reward point is only 1 point, no one present should be able to get a few hundred reward points. Compared to those third-order parallel goods made by the main god, these strong beasts are the best. The eyes of the other reincarnators all shone like beasts. Frightened, several hobbits hugged each other and trembled, okay, they were all murderous aura emitted by fourth-order powerhouses, how could hobbits resist it.
The next moment, the reincarnators of the five teams didn't care about these plot characters, and all of them yelled and rushed out of the doorway. Then there were bursts of screams of strong orcs. Well, in fact, most of them are pretended, for reincarnations, these strong orcs are not even qualified as cannon fodder, and it can only be said that they are one-sided slaughter at this time. And you think this group of stinky rascals will divide these monsters equally according to the rules? You're so naΓ―ve, now the battlefield is playing out a monster snatching expert, when you kill the first monster that can only get bonus points, and then the screams of the strong orcs are heard from all over the valley.
And Aragorn, Boromo, Golden Bolt, and Legolas took the fourth-order hobbits, sneaked out through the window, and then quickly sneaked into the forest. And although Li Nan and they blocked most of the strong orcs, the number of strong orcs was too much, and there were still hundreds of strong orcs who broke through the blockade line and rushed towards Frodo's location.
Looking at the orcs chasing from behind, Aragorn, Boromo, Golden Bolt, and Legolas protected a few hobbits behind them, and then fought with those orcs who caught up.
While everyone was not looking, Frodo sneaked into the small bushes next to him, and then walked in the direction of the shore. He thought at this time, as Galadriel and Gandalf had said, there was danger in the expedition, and those people must have been bewitched by the Ring, so Li Nan was able to touch the Ring and pretend to be fine. Otherwise, why could it touch the Lord of the Rings so easily? And then they pretended to be something, yes, they just wanted to snatch my ring, why did everyone take such a big risk, but these thieves looked like they were righteous, and they didn't want to snatch my ring. There is only me, and only I can trust, so let me complete this expedition by myself.
After being attacked by Borromo this morning and intimidated by Sakuraku's sister, everything can bring back Frodo's painful memories, which is why Frodo is even more distrustful of others. Of course, as Frodo's good friend, Sam found Frodo's departure at that moment, and became Frodo's good friend, and at the same time promised Gandalf to stay by Frodo's side all the time, so Sam did not hesitate to chase after him.
And Sam's actions also alarmed the other two hobbits, Merry and Pipin. So, when Aragorn had time to look back, he was startled by the fact that all four hobbits were gone. You know, a few hobbits don't have much fighting power. So he cried out, "A few hobbits are gone." β
Because of Aragorn's words, everyone else present was startled, and Golden Thunderbolt was almost slashed by a strong orc. Legolas, the elven prince, immediately looked back into the distance behind him, and with the elves' ultra-long-distance vision, he saw several hobbits. Then he said, "They are rushing to the shore, and they are going to cross the river by themselves." By this time, he had seen Frodo running towards the place where the boat was kept, and Sam following him. And in order to get them out safely, Merry and Pipin are leading the orcs in a different direction. "Frodo and Sam are walking towards the shore, while Merry and Pippin are leading the orcs to the other side."
"Catch up." Aragorn shouted. At this time, the strong orcs at the scene had been cleared, and the four of them hurriedly ran towards the shore, "Boromo, Legolas, Golden Thunderbolt." You go and save Merry and Pitzin, you must be quick, or they may be killed by the orcs, and I will go to the shore to find Frodo and Sam. β
After a few minutes of galloping, Aragorn came to the shore, and saw that Frodo and Sam had reached the other side of the river with their boats, and then disappeared into the woods, and now it was too late to chase them. "Damn it." Aragorn angrily slammed his sword into the ground.
On the other side, Boromo, Legolas, and Golden Bolt were fighting with a large group of orcs, and not far away, Merry and Pipin had been captured by the orcs, but instead of killing them, the orcs carried them on their shoulders and took them away. However, the three of them were surrounded by a strong orc force of dozens of people, blocking their way. By the time they had eliminated the orcs, the orc force that had captured Merry and Pipin was gone. In desperation, they had no choice but to walk to the bank of the river and join Aragorn.
Ten minutes later, the four of them and the reincarnators were all concentrated on the riverbank, and Legolas was pushing a small boat and walking towards the river: "Quick! Frodo and Sam are on the East Coast. But everyone else stayed put. Seeing Legolas's gaze, Li Nan pointed at Aragorn, and Legolas realized that Aragon didn't seem to have any intention of catching up. "You're not going to follow?"
"We can't help Frodo." Aragorn said lightly.
"Then all our efforts have been in vain? The expedition also failed? "Golden Thunderbolt looked very lost, this expedition had a great impact on him.
"Our efforts will not be in vain, and we cannot afford to make them suffer from Merry and Pipin." As he spoke, Aragorn drew his sword from the ground and thrust it back into its scabbard. "As long as we still have the strength, we will leave everything we don't use, and try to reduce the burden as much as possible, and we will go hunt the strong orcs."
"yes." Listening to Aragorn's words, Jin Pi also seemed very excited.
"So, what about your choice?" Aragorn asked Li Nan and them.
"You're the captain, you have the final say." Li Nan shrugged his shoulders, and then said: "Since the captain said that he wants to hunt the strong orcs, and we have no opinion, then the last mission is suspended, and now we will rescue those two hobbits first, and then talk about something else." As for Frodo, I've recently arranged for someone to secretly protect them, so don't worry. β
