The Forest of Fagon is an ancient forest where mysterious guardians are said to be entrenched, keeping out all creatures that try to invade Fagon, and even elves dare not enter it. However, the expeditionary force did not have much extra distance to circumvent the Forest of Fagon, so to be on the safe side, they did not cross the forest directly, but chose to take a detour.

The expeditionary force's journey was not peaceful, and the regions close to the border of the Rohan Kingdom often saw small squads of orcs, who were entangled with the lord's guards in various territories, and if they seized the opportunity, they would raid nearby villages and devour all living things, and the expeditionary force would easily annihilate these orcs whenever they encountered something that could be solved.

Hu Bin looked at the attributes of the legion flag, but he didn't expect that a small encounter before actually made the battle flag hungry again, since arriving in this world, it was the first time that his battle flag was displayed. The banner used in the Battle of the Alliance, although it is also its own symbol, is an ordinary flag and has no attributes to speak of. However, fortunately, he left the name of the Legion Battle Banner at that time, which was just convenient for him to fool these subordinates now, Hu Bin originally wanted to use it to improve some morale, so as to better grasp the command of the Legion, but later found that sporadic battles could just promote the promotion of the Legion Banner.

The expeditionary force had planned to bypass the Fagon Forest and then cross the wilderness to the golden seat of Idoras in Rohan, where they could meet King Xiyodon, but when they passed by the castle of a nobleman, Hu Bin learned that Didoras had been abandoned and that its inhabitants were being relocated to the Valley of the Holy Helm, and that King Xiudon had issued an order to the whole nation to rescue King Qin.

"Is Saruman ready for full swing, where did he get so much confidence?" The news he heard scattered on the road gave Haldir a clear idea of the current situation in the Rohan Kingdom, but he didn't expect it to be so bad.

"There is word that a large number of troops are departing from there at Isengh in the west, and the target may be the Valley of the Holy Helm." Hu Bin heard a lot of news from the nearby mercenary tavern, and after a long time, he finally met the other numbered people. Because the Battle of the Holy Helmet Valley is approaching, the numberers of both camps spontaneously gather here, but Hu Bin has something to do, and the identity of the elves is also very hidden, so it is not suitable to communicate with them face-to-face, so Hu Bin knows nothing about the information in the circle of numberers.

"How many troops do the humans have there?" Hardir frowned.

"I don't know, but I don't think there will be too many, but some of the lords have already sent troops to support there in response to King Xiyodon's call."

"Although the defense there in the Valley of the Holy Helmet is strong, Saruman is menacing, and it is estimated that there is a certain certainty of taking it. If King Heudon is defeated, Rohan will definitely be torn apart, and the demon lord Sauron cannot lose Rohan's power, we must keep it, Reed, and we need to march quickly. ”

The elves began to pack their bags, each with nothing but food and weapons, and all other unnecessary belongings discarded. Many humans have spotted this fast-moving team, and many have even tried to find out where they came from, but all of them were deterred by a single arrow.

However, their whereabouts were discovered by the nearby orcs, and Hardir had to pause the march several times to deal with the pursuing orc troops on the spot, and Hu Bin's command skills made the other soldiers completely approve of the commander. But the state of the expeditionary force was not very good, and a lot of energy was consumed by the elves in the process of rapid marching, and even Hu Bin himself was a little unable to hold on. Horses had long been allocated to some of the wounded, but the limited number of horses was a drop in the bucket for the entire corps, and if they were not given rest, there was likely to be non-combat attrition in the troops.

Saruman's army is heading towards the Valley of the Helm day and night, and the expeditionary force needs to get ahead of them and settle into the Valley of the Helm as soon as possible, otherwise the elves will be greatly reduced without the protection of the walls. But the exhausted Haldir had to stop the team, and although the elven warriors were physically stronger than the average human, they were still not comparable to the orcs.

"How long do you have to get there?" Hu Bin swallowed Lambas hard, slowly swallowed with water, and then fell to the ground at once, never remembering it again.

"If all goes well, there's still two days to go, sir." The elven lieutenant sat next to him, sweat soaking through his cloak, and Hu Bin could even see his legs shaking.

"If I had chosen the Traveler career at that time, I wouldn't have been so short on time, hey." Hu Bin knew that Saruman's army was not far from them, and that he might catch up with the expeditionary force, in which case all efforts would be in vain.

"Damn, why am I so stupid, Numberer! O numberer! Have I stayed in this world for a long time, forgotten my identity, and cared about it so much? Hu Bin beat his chest, since he didn't choose the profession of a traveler, other numberers might choose.

"Adjutant, bring my horse and tell Chief Hardir that I have something very important to do, and it is estimated that I will catch up with you in half a day." Hu Bin pulled the reins of the horse brought by the adjutant, turned over and went straight to the nearest mercenary tavern.

"Whoever can bring me a glass of soda, I'll give 50 gold coins, and the stock is running out." Hu Bin, who entered the tavern, decisively took off his hood, revealing his elf face, when indicating his identity as the numberer.

After everyone was surprised, they all turned around, most of the taverns were numbered, even the old ones at the bar, the aborigines had already fled to other places for refuge, that is, this group of people who were not afraid of heaven and earth dared to stay here, they were here to participate in the war.

"Hey, man, I have a beer here, come and sit here." A numbered man with unkempt hair extended an invitation to Hu.

"My pleasure!" Hu Bin was not hypocritical, and sat directly on the empty seat of the table.

"Yes, although the aboriginal ale wine tastes good, I still like to drink the space. Everyone calls me Joe, and this lady next to me is Lynn, what do you call it. ”

"Thanks, my name is Reed!" Hu Bin grabbed the beer bottle and threw a money bag to Qiao.

"Hehe, don't mind if I ask some questions, your appearance is too conspicuous, how did you do it?" Joe asked curiously, and even Lynn, who was wearing a mask and cloak next to her, looked at her curiously.

"It's nothing, I joined the elven camp, but I ended up trapped in the shelter, knowing that I only ran out with the army not long ago, and I have eaten up the supplies in the package for so long. Do you know what the elves eat, I feel like I'm going to go crazy if I stay any longer. Hu Bin took a sip of wine after speaking, he didn't answer Joe's question directly, and Joe just smiled.

"I need a numberer of the Traveler's profession to help me get on the road, and I can pay well, maybe I can win the Elven Clan's big favor mission, how about it, are you interested?" Hu Bin said his purpose straight to the point, he did not know the current situation of the numberers, and could only use this method to cover up his lack of information.

Lin and Joe glanced at each other, they were quite interested in this mission, and the nearby numberers knew that there was only one place where there was an elven force, and that was the elven reinforcements who were rushing to the Valley of the Holy Helmet.

"I'm a traveler, but I'd like to see what you can get paid first." Lynn said in an unexpectedly crisp voice.

"Hehe, I'm afraid you won't take the bait." With a wicked smile, Hu Bin took out the standing dry food in the package.

"I'll go, Lambas!" One of the numbered people at the nearby table widened his eyes and exclaimed, drawing everyone's eyes to Hu Bin's hand.

"Deal." Qiao hurriedly snatched the Lambas in Hu Bin's hand and looked at the attributes, and then decisively took over the task.

The two horses were running one after the other on the way to the Sacred Helmet Valley, Hu Bin and the other two numbered people were chasing the expeditionary force along the mark left by the elves, and Hu Bin also took advantage of this time to ask Qiao who was sitting behind him some information about the current numberer.

From Joe, Hu Bin learned that there were about 700 people who entered the Lord of the Rings world this time, but only a few of them experienced the alliance battle that crossed time and space and managed to survive to the end. These lucky ones will gain a big advantage from the beginning, and they will easily obtain knighthood and territory in the two kingdoms of mankind, and they can also issue some tasks to promote the development of the territory through the noble channel to other numberers, who are called bosses in the circle.

There are also some numberers who have randomly obtained the opportunity to become a non-human race, such as high orcs and dwarves and hobbits, etc., these numberers have more or less some racial talents, but the choice of factions is limited, Hu Bin also belongs to such numberers, they have no special name, but they usually attract the attention of numberers, because they more or less have the specialties of their own race.

However, most of the numberers are still ordinary numberers who wander the continent, and these numberers generally use mercenaries as their profession, wandering around several locations where the main plot takes place, profiting from taverns and lord quests, and sometimes launching adventures, which are caused by the variables encountered by the Fellowship of the Ring in Moria. This type of adventurer is not without strength, but it lacks certain opportunities, and they often go on expeditions in groups of two or three people, calling themselves adventurers or mercenaries.

Qiao and Lin met in this world, they formed a team by chance, and they have been acting together for more than half a year, most of the time between bars and cities, and they have accumulated a lot of fame over a long time, and they are at a medium level among mercenary numberers.

But the Lord of the Rings world is not a safe place, and many of the more than 700 numbered people who began to enter died in accidents. If it weren't for a few powerful numberer gangs revealing some common sense that numberers need to master, it wouldn't be surprising that all of these numberers died, after all, the high demon world is still very dangerous for them, and there may be a powerful aboriginal here to kill the numberers, and it is no longer a simple task world where you can do whatever you want without dying before.

However, external pressure and internal coordination have not eliminated the reduction of numberers, and there are still many numberers who die unexpectedly during missions and expeditions, and the few numberers who join the dark camp will also attack the numberers of the human camp from time to time, and a low-scale conflict will break out between the two sides every once in a while. On the human side, there are aboriginal knights and various Terran warriors to hire, but the dark camp can also get a lot of half-orc command from the mission rewards.

As the first large-scale battle in the main plot, the Battle of the Valley of the Holy Helmet must have attracted a lot of human camp numberers to come to the battle, Qiao and Lin are also one of these numberers, most of them have received the task of detecting the movements of the Saruman army, scattered on the route of the strong orc army, they can then rely on the speed of horses to return to the Valley of the Holy Helmet before the battle, or they can join the cavalry reinforcements that arrived later to fight, compared to Hu Bin, the degree of freedom is higher.

"Is there any news from the numberers of the dark faction?" Hu Bin wanted to know more about the situation of those numbered people in the hostile camp.

"No, those people are not very gregarious, and they usually act alone, even if they are in their own camp, they are wary."

Although they have the support of a large number of numberers, but these numberers generally want to join the cavalry that comes from behind, it is too dangerous to be surrounded in the Valley of the Holy Helmet, everyone knows that in the original ending of this battle, the soldiers in the Valley of the Holy Helmet are almost dead, and only a few numberers who think they have strength will join the defenders of the Valley of the Holy Helmet.

Hu Bin didn't think that the numbered people of the dark camp would give up this opportunity, in the Battle of the Valley of the Holy Helmet, the Saruman side actually had a great advantage, they had an absolute advantage in numbers, a quality advantage in the army of strong orcs, and a powerful siege weapon like explosives. Later, the defeat of Saruman's army was due to the fact that the strong orcs had been fighting for a long time, the soldiers were exhausted, and they suffered heavy casualties, and they were caught off guard by the sudden cavalry. In fact, if the strong orcs were prepared, the cavalry would not be so easy to defeat them, and even if they won, they would suffer heavy damage.

Half a day later, Hu Bin took Qiao and Lin to catch up with the resting elf expeditionary force, and Haldir didn't have much opinion on the arrival of the two humans, after all, this was the helper Hu Bin found, and the purpose of their visit this time was to help humans.

With Lin's skills, the marching speed of the Elven Expeditionary Force increased slightly, but it was this little improvement that gave the soldiers of the expeditionary force who were close to collapse more time to rest, and they persevered to the Valley of the Holy Helmet during the rapid march.

Finally, on the evening of the third day after Lynn joined, the expeditionary force finally saw the gates of the Valley of the Holy Helm, and they had arrived a full day before the orc army.

As the horn of the elves sounded, there was a commotion on the walls of the Holy Helmet Valley, and then the city gate slowly opened. Under the leadership of Haldier, two hundred elven warriors slowly drove into the castle in a neat line, although they were all exhausted and dusty, but they still maintained the unique arrogance of the elves in front of humans, and explained to other humans what elven legions were with neat movements.

A slightly old man wearing a crown greeted him, presumably King Xiyodon of Rohan, and Haldir and King Xiyodon talked cordially, but then Aragorn and others who arrived interrupted their pleasantries.

Aragorn greeted Hardir with a cordial hug, but Hardir looked uncomfortable, with Legolas nodding at him, and the dwarf Golden Thunderbolt snorting.

Hardir revealed Hu Bin behind him, and Hu Bin was soon embarrassed by the surprised Aragorn touching his head.

"Why are you here, boy, we heard from Gandalf that you actually helped him defeat the Firefiend." Jin Li also wanted to touch Hu Bin's head, but Hu Bin stood up straight and pretended that there was no such person.

"We're fighting together again." Legolas stretched out his right hand and clasped it tightly with Hu Bin.

After arranging for the soldiers to rest as soon as possible, Hu Bin followed Qiao and Lin around the Holy Helmet Valley. Although the place in the Holy Helmet Valley is not small, most of the space is occupied by fortifications and soldiers, which is a bit crowded, but Hu Bin knows that only such a layout can effectively resist the enemy's attack, and he even decided to borrow some of the architectural structures of the Holy Helmet Valley to renovate his inner city.

The atmosphere in the Valley of the Holy Helm was not good, and there was a hint of grief among the civilians who had abandoned their homes and been forced here, and all the strong men were drafted into the defenders, including some teenagers who were going to war for the first time. Hu Bin looked at the childish faces, obviously with fear, he couldn't help but sigh, I hope that the addition of the numbered person can alleviate the decline of the Holy Helmet Valley and save some more aborigines.

The arrival of elven reinforcements in the Valley of the Holy Helmet injected a powerful shot into the Terran defenders, re-revealing a glimmer of hope to them who had fallen into a trough, and those disciplined elven warriors made them feel a sense of security, and the alliance had not given up on themselves, let alone themselves. Compared to the depression of the aborigines, the numberers are very different from each other, they are fully equipped, they look good, they look confident, and it is no wonder that the guys who dare to participate in the defense of the city must be very confident in their own strength, but there are also some guys who gamble to make up the numbers.

Qiao and Lin belong to the numbered ones who are somewhat confident in their own strength, they have only used the initial space once in their previous adventures, but they understand that if they don't fight in the Holy Helmet Valley, in other large-scale battles with hundreds of thousands of people, there is no room to play at all, it is better to rely on the defensive advantages of the Holy Helmet Valley to kill more strong orcs, which can not only earn military merits but also complete side quests. After Saruman is defeated, the Orcs will surely become extinct, and in order to complete the No. 1 Runner quest, you must kill 30 Orcs in the Battle of the Valley of the Holy Helmet.

Military merit is something that only the human camp and the Saruman faction have, and the numberers can be obtained by completing missions or killing enemy soldiers, and these military merits can be used to apply for military positions with the king, and can also be exchanged for some very useful items. The military position can not only mobilize some Terran soldiers, but also receive some tasks with higher returns, and the treatment is the same as that of nobles at all levels, but there is no territory, but few people can pile up the military rank very high.

During the Battle of the Valley of the Holy Helmet, Space issued unlimited story missions to all factions, and those who killed strong orcs in this battle will be rewarded with random items according to the performance of the numbered ones.

Hu Bin joined the elven camp and had no access to the military merit system of the human camp, but the benefits he obtained in the elven clan were definitely beyond the imagination of other numbered people, and he didn't care about these gains and losses.

I don't know if it was because of the interference of space, King Xiyuton actually set aside a separate area for these numbered people who were ostensibly mercenaries and recruited warriors, and when Hu Bin came here, it was already very lively. Most of these people were numberers and followers, and a few were aristocratic private soldiers of boss-type numberers. Adhering to the common habit of numberers, wherever there is a place where they gather, it will become a grocery market and a bar. There were no conditions here, and the numbered people simply sat on the ground, holding drinks from various spaces and making noise, and even the natives who were watching them nearby alleviated a lot of fear.

"Hey, look who's coming!" Qiao saw Hu Bin's arrival and took the lead to greet him.

"This is our friend." Lin followed, forcing off a few guys who wanted to come up and offer their respects.

Hu Bin and the elven army were seen by many people when they entered the city, and he seemed to have a good relationship with several important people, even if it was just because he was in the elven camp, the numberers were eager to befriend this guy and want to get some benefits from him, Qiao and Lin exchanged the extra Lambas and these people for a lot of good things.

"Looks like I'm here at the right time! I'm sorry, I'm not here to find you, I'm here to do business. I know the purpose of the two of you, but I'm sorry, I don't need a middleman for my business. ”

Hu Bin said something that embarrassed Joe, and he walked to the open space that everyone had given up for him, spread out his cloak, and put the items to be sold one by one in exhibition mode.

The crowd was attracted by his movements, and formed a circle, and as the first item was released from Hu Bin, each one of them caused a burst of exclamations.

"This is Lambas, I once spent a lot of money to get half of the expiring piece from the aborigines, I didn't expect to see it here, it is worthy of the guy who joined the elf clan, I am really envious." One of the numbered individuals sighed bitterly.

"What a delicate weapon, is this the standard weapon of the elves, I have long heard that these weapons are very sophisticated, much sharper than the ones in my hand." When the bronze-colored long sword dagger and other weapons were taken out by Hu Bin, many people became interested in this weapon.

After a numbered whisper to Hu Bin, he handed Hu Bin a small bag, then took away an elven sword, then drew his own saber, and slammed the two swords together, with a crisp sound, the original saber was easily cut off, and only a gap appeared on the elf longsword. With a distressed look on his face, the numbered man took out the whetstone produced in space, carefully wiped the gap in the sword, and slowly pushed it back, ignoring the broken weapon on the ground.

A numbered person next to him picked up the broken sword and looked at it, and found that the quality was not low, and the maintenance was not bad, so he put it away, and if he returned to the space, he could still connect it and continue to use it.

Everyone's attention was withdrawn from the broken sword, and then they looked at those weapons with a more burning gaze, and the secret words that Hu Bin received instantly increased.

"Something to say to your face." Hu Bin ignored the people who spoke secretly, and after looking around with disdain, he took out another item.

"Isn't it, you're willing to take it out?" The surrounding numberers are all talking, Hu Bin took out the tendons obtained from the water monster, and the attributes are a mess, but as a consumable, Hu Bin is not very useful, and it is also a good choice to take them out and shake these numberers, maybe it can lead to a lot of good things.

Hu Bin didn't rush to mark the price, and put the next item on it under the burning eyes of everyone, this is a rare weapon, originally wanted to be used by Ente, but Ente said that he used it like a rolling pin, so he let Hu Bin put it out.

ps: Before ten o'clock tonight, the second watch, finally to the Battle of the Holy Helmet Valley!!
