Chapter 315: Warm-up Battle
When they led an army of almost tens of thousands of people, lined up in a long formation, Lin Yifeng, Xiyouton, Gandalf and Aragorn were all at the forefront, and Frodo and Sam didn't speak along the way, just looked at everything around them.
They had never seen so many people, and even the most they had seen in Shire was Sr. Bilbo's birthday party.
But there were only a few hundred people, and it was not a fraction of the battle that was as far as the eye could see, as if all the people were lying down, and could cover the sky.
By the time the last man of the army had completely departed from the confines of the plain, the sun had already begun to sink in the west, and the rays of the setting sun stained the savannah of Rohan behind him with golden flames.
"We're going to keep going along this continent by the White Mountains, and there are many rivers along the way, and the mountains that rise far away on the right are the Misty Mountains, and we might have some trouble along the way." The army paused for a moment, adjusting slightly, and Hiyoton said to Gandalf beside him.
"It's not a big deal, it's just a test of our path, and if we can't even pass it, then it's nothing." Gandalf heard Thedon's words, gently wiped his staff with his hand, shook his head slightly, and spoke.
After resting for about half an hour, everyone continued to march forward, although the night also represented danger, but everyone's time was more important. Because on the front line there were also Rohan soldiers who fought against the Saruman army.
And that was the real rendezvous, so they could not arrive too late, unless it was due to the horses, otherwise the rest of the time the whole army was advancing as fast as possible.
As they walked, the misty mountains in the distance began to grow larger and larger, and at the same time, the sky became darker and darker, and the sun was already sinking before their eyes, and the dark night was coming.
"The order goes down. Raise the torch. Each squad must have its own torches. Looking at the dark sky, Xiyoton said to the soldiers beside him, and then Xiyodon's orders were conveyed layer by layer.
"Compared to the natural disasters or demonic beasts that may occur on the road in the dark, the horses under them are the most dangerous." Aragon glanced back. Speak.
"That's true. Once the horse is frightened. However, it would be a cascade of reactions, and the consequences would be devastating. It's not like this hasn't happened before, it's just rare, but now we don't have to worry about it at all, we can't suppress it, because there's a big guy, although I don't want to admit it, but sometimes a horse is a horse after all. Glancing at the sky, which was the direction of the black dragon, Hiudon sighed and stroked the head of the horse he sat down.
The night surrounded the people, and the army had to stop and set up camp, and they had been on a seven-hour journey from noon to now, but there was still more than half the distance in sight.
The army formed a square shape under the starry sky and moonlight, and set up camps.
Because they are not familiar with the surrounding conditions, they do not dare to make a fire to barbecue food, although the torch can expel some beasts, but if it is barbecue food, the aroma of the food, will attract those hungry monsters, set up heavy guards around, scouts also rode to the distance to inquire about the enemy, although there is Lin Yifeng's black dragon in the air to observe the situation, but after all, for some details on the ground, the black dragon has no way to observe, it can only observe for example whether there is Saruman's army in front of it, and that's it.
The night went on without incident, and at dawn, when the sun had risen, and the light had dispelled the darkness, the trumpets sounded again, and after the tents and other things had been put away, they were on their journey again in an hour.
There was not a single cloud in the sky, but they could feel the air heavy; It's quite a hot day in this season. The rising sun was bloody, followed by a large black cloud, as if a storm was about to descend in the east; To the northwest, there seemed to be another dark shadow constantly moving, slowly moving over the Valley of the Wizards.
"This kind of weather is really a bad omen." Looking at the sky, Grove Delle beside Lin Yifeng said in a deep voice.
"Why, is there some subtlety to this?" Looking at the sky, Lin Yifeng said a little strangely.
"It's just an elf delusion, just like a wizard's suspicion, elves sometimes have delusions." Gandalf stepped up and interjected, but despite that, Gandalf's face was also very solemn.
"I hope so!" Looking at the affection of the two people, Lin Yifeng knew that this matter was not so simple, muttered softly, and then drove the horses sitting down to chase forward.
After about two hours of travel, suddenly the black dragon above the sky suddenly let out a loud roar, and then landed downward.
"Wait, there's something going on!" Seeing the black dragon that suddenly landed, Lin Yifeng, Gandalf, and Glorfingel's faces all changed slightly.
Hearing this, Xiyoton hurriedly ordered the army to stop moving.
"Did you find anything in that case?" When the black dragon landed, Lin Yifeng stepped forward and asked the black dragon.
"It's true that in some cases, I've seen some big guys up front, many, many, almost hundreds." The black dragon nodded and said in a deep voice.
"It doesn't look like Saruman is going to sit still like that." Gandalf spoke.
"More than that, I want to know what is happening on the front lines today, and if my soldiers existed, they wouldn't let a half-orc, or an enemy, pass through their lines." There was a rare look of anxiety and worry on Xiyoton's face.
"There are always exceptions, after all, soldiers are not gods, they can't make a fly can't pass through, as long as they have the heart, whether it's orcs or humans, they can find a way to cross the defense line." Aragorn on the side spoke.
"How's their strength?" Lin Yifeng asked a key question.
"It's just a few hundred big guys who can sweep through this group of soldiers behind you, but it's still much weaker than me." The black dragon glanced at the black army behind him, pursed his lips and said.
"That's not the point, it means that the strength of those guys is not very strong, in that case, Gandalf, King Hieudon, Glorfindelle, maybe these hundreds of big guys can be used as a warm-up preparation for our upcoming fight against Saruman." Lin Yifeng turned to look at Xiyouton and Gandalf and spoke.
"I'm getting a new lease on my life, and I'm willing to take on such a challenge." Gandalf nodded slightly, his hand caressing Shadow's head.
"The sleeping lion has woken up, and the culprit of everything should witness the lion's fury!" Holding the sword tightly in his hand, Xiyoudon's eyes were full of anger, anger at Saruman.
"I also have some doubts about strength, maybe it would be a good idea to solve them through combat, although I hate this kind of fighting." With a slight smile, a pair of green energy wings suddenly appeared behind Grofendale.
The horses he sat on were of the same fine breed, but they were obviously still far behind Gandalf's shadow and Siyodon's kinghorse. (To be continued......)
