The beacon fire had been lit, and the armies of all the kings and clans rushed to Gondor and rushed to the front. The demon king Sauron is menacing, and as soon as he comes up, he puts on an attitude of not leaving chickens and dogs. Since sooner or later there will be a battle with the Demon King Army, then concentrating the forces of the whole continent, especially fighting a decisive battle in the territory of other countries, is the most effective strategy.

So this time, the kings were unprecedentedly cheerful and united, and the troops of all clans basically did not delay any time, and 100,000 rushed to Gondor in a hurry.

The current situation is mixed.

Happily, Saruman, Sauron's once important ally, has been uprooted, and thanks to the efforts of Xiao Jingzhe and Senior Brother, no kings have been bewitched by the dark magic power again. The Assassination King, the Blade Demon, was also killed, so don't worry about the cold arrow from the hinterland and from behind.

The worry is that this time the Demon King Army no longer seems to need to play yin at all, and there is a direct frontal hard bar that can also kill the world's outstanding domineering.

In a large tent that serves as a temporary headquarters, the leaders of various parties are discussing important matters of military aircraft. They looked at the sand table, compared the map, and checked the speed of the Modo army over and over again, but the final result made their faces even more ugly. Military newspapers came in like snowflakes, one after another, and there was little good news.

"The Molten Iron Castle has been flattened, how is this possible!" the Dwarf King yelled in disbelief, "The Molten Iron Castle is a war fortress built with the help of our Grey Mountain Dwarves, and its walls are watered with iron juice, which is simply impregnable, how can it be trampled flat without even holding it out for a few days!"

"As it was, not only was it flattened, but it didn't even last ten minutes from the start of the attack. was completely breached. A skinny king patted the map. Some very discouraging information was told: "Sauron's dark magic has awakened ancient powers. A mountain giant emerges from the Doom Mountains. It didn't even attack, it just lifted its foot and landed its foot, and the walls of the Molten Iron Fortress had already collapsed. ”

"Mountain giants, what is that, why haven't I heard of it?"

"The mountain giants are ...... Forget it, the explanation is too complicated anyway for you to understand. Let's put it this way, when the mountain giant is sleeping, you won't even notice it when you walk past it, because you think you're a mountain under your feet. You'll even try to look inside its torso to see if there's any ore, but when it wakes up, you'll find that it's hundreds of times taller than you. A slap," the thin old man raised his hand, his face full of shadows: "You can crush your entire personal guard underneath." ”

Obviously, this is a pessimist.

But now the pessimists can't solve any problems except to hit the morale of the military, so they still need the pragmatic faction to take the lead.

King Lohan was a doer, and he slapped the map so hard that the chaotic command was silent: "Everyone be quiet! We need information now, a lot of information." Where the hell are the Modo Army, can we stop Modo before they destroy all the war bastions of Gondor?"

Bang bang, the dwarf king slammed the table. He also said: "If there is a war with Sauron in Gondor, the food of the great plains of Gondor is an indispensable supply, and we cannot let the Modor legions slaughter those farmers!

"Kill the Mountain Giant?" the thin old king snorted coldly: "It's really ignorant, the Mountain Giant is a legendary species, second only to the existence of the ancient gods. Now that the gods are gone, the Mountain Giants are the strongest. When they are silent, they will sleep like mountains for countless years, and they will let the goats walk on them, and the woodcutters will find the path. But when it woke up, it couldn't stop it! You can slay a dragon, but you can't kill the mountain giant, that big fat man is a magical creature through and through, and his shell is full of solid stones!"

Someone couldn't stand the thin old man's words, blew his beard and glared angrily: "Then according to your meaning, let's just stop fighting, go home and wait for death, and wait for the damn mountains to come to the door one by one and step on us!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, do not be discouraged, my group of wise men has some good news on the mountain giants. Another king spoke: "According to our data, although the mountain giant is unstoppable when it moves, it cannot act at will. ”

King Lohan immediately asked, "What do you mean?"

The king's finger discharged a representative, opened the thick tome, and explained: "Mountain giants are large magical creatures, so they are not powered by food like ordinary creatures, and every move must consume magical energy. With such a huge amount of magical energy, I am afraid that only the gods can supply it in unlimited quantities. Although the Ring Spirit is a powerful netherworld life transformed by Sauron, it is far from being able to support the activities of the mountain giants. The spirit of the ring can't hold such a big body at all. ”

"What do you say so many theories do, it's already in action!"

"This means that the mountain giants must have some special source of magical energy. As long as you take that source of magical energy, the mountain giants are a pile of useless stones. The old wise man pondered for a long time: "It's just that I really can't imagine what kind of magic energy crystals can provide such powerful energy......

At this moment, a snow-white wand opened the curtain, and the white-robed wizard walked in: "It's the heart of the mountains." ”

"Heart of the Mountains?" the kings were puzzled.

"The heart of the mountains?" the old wise man suddenly realized.

"Heart of the Mountains?!" The Dwarven King reacted the most, his beard almost exploding: "Zoro actually got the Heart of the Mountains?!"

King Lohan slapped the table to silence everyone: "Don't make any noise, old wizard, tell me, what is the Heart of the Mountains, and how are we going to destroy that damn thing?"

"The Heart of the Mountains is said to have been created by the gods and possesses the magical power of perpetual motion, but no one has ever seen it. Until a hundred years ago, the dwarven co-lord dug out the depths of the earth and embedded it in his throne. (The Hobbit Plot) "Gandalf is worthy of being a wise man, and he has already understood the arrangement of the enemy in the encounters before and after the series:" Zoro originally wanted to use the Ancient Treant Ring Spirit to absorb the magic source of the entire Elven Forest, and use the power of the magic source to drive the mountain giants. Fortunately, the traces were found by Sun Moon Mountain. Defeat the Ancient Treants in time. It's a blessing in disguise. ”

"Where's the luck?" the skinny old king continued to lower the army's heart, "Even if there is no source of magic. Isn't the Mountain Giant also driven after getting the Heart of the Mountains, I don't see the difference. ”

"Of course there is a difference!" Gandalf couldn't stand the fact that someone continued to bewitch the crowd, so he secretly used his magic and sent out the "King's Voice" to shock the spot: "Although the Heart of the Mountains has infinite energy, the output power is not enough to allow the Mountain Giants to move unlimitedly! ”

"So. Isn't the speed of the Modo Legion as exaggerated as we thought?" "So, as long as we take the heart of the mountains from Narauszi when the mountain giants run out of energy, we will succeed!"

Looking at the kings gathered together to actively discuss, Gandalf secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At such a time, the kings must not be completely discouraged, otherwise this battle will not be fought at all.

"Report ——!" An intelligence officer rushed to report: "News from the front, the Modo Legion is advancing towards Qianfan Fort, Qianfan Fort may not be able to hold it, Gondor has organized a full withdrawal of manpower to the west bank of the river!"

Another piece of bad news.

The old king of the Luohan Kingdom sighed sullenly: "I hope that the commander of Gondor is not an idiot, and don't forget to demolish the port and burn the extra ships when evacuating." That way, you can use the Berna River to stop the other party, otherwise everything will be over. ”

Gandalf stepped forward. Stretching out his hand to compare and contrast on the strategic map for a long time, he finally said firmly: "It seems that the mountain giant's daily action time is not long. Enough for us to get to the territory of Gondor. At best, we can snipe them on the west bank of the Berna, at worst...... I just hope that we can keep White City so that we can have a fight. ”

"Damn, there's bad news everywhere," the dwarf king grabbed his beard anxiously, "isn't there any good news?"

"There is good news. The door curtain was lifted again, but I saw that it was Luo Yuxi who walked in with a sword, and his steps were sonorous: "Our companions sent back a message that because the Mountain Giants and the Modo Legion were eager to capture the Molten Iron Fort that day, the troops who went to support them took advantage of the loopholes to escape. Now they and the remnants of the army that were once stationed in the area of Doom Pass have been reorganized and are trying to find a way to make a roundabout. ”

The Dwarven King immediately came to his senses: "Or, let those lads take advantage of the emptiness behind Modor to give Sauron a hard blow!"

Luo Yuxi just smiled and didn't answer. There are only more than 2,000 people in those remnants of the army, so give Zoro a ruthless one? Do you think they are all masters? She just used her internal strength and whispered to Gandalf: "I have already sent the things to Xiao Jingzhe, and he has already gone." ”

"Whew......" Gandalf secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the anxiety that he had suppressed slightly dissipated slightly. I hope that Xiao Jingzhe can reach the Valley of the Dead smoothly and use that sword of the king to make those invulnerable undead army obey orders. It stands to reason that only Aragorn, the direct descendant of the King of Gondor, can use that sword, but now that he is in a hurry, he only hopes that Xiao Jingzhe can also succeed.

No one knows the horrors of arachnoid monsters better than an immortal like him, and those creatures are not only ferocious in their individual combat, but also endlessly killing. Coupled with the tungsten steel that the Devourer of the Earth had captured, it was really difficult to stop with the current coalition forces. Only those undead spirits can restrain arachnoid monsters.

"I just don't know what else Sauron has to do. "Blade Demon, Ancient Treant, Devourer of Earth, Weaver of Death, Mountain Giant, the five Great Ringspirits have appeared in sight here. But there are still four, and I don't know what kind of fierce existence these four ring spirits are. "I just hope that there will be no rings that can restrain the army of necromancy. ”

But Gandalf has not forgotten that Sauron has always been known for his undead magic. If He didn't use the brains of the dead, then the sun came out of the west.

At the same time, under the dust cloud of Doom Volcano, a group of wounded warriors were struggling to move forward on the dim earth. They are the remnants of the integrated army. More than 2,000 people trekked hard under the leadership of the general of the Molten Iron Castle, narrowly avoiding the many sweeps of the Modo Legion.

After this period of stationing, the White Daomeng no longer knew anything about the Doom Mountain Range. Compared to the newly spawned Modo Legion, this group is more familiar with the terrain of the Doom Mountains. So although it was difficult and difficult along the way, at least I knew in my heart that there was still a way to survive - Modo's back door, the Swamp of Ten Thousand Souls.

"General, the wounded brothers are almost unable to hold on to the dark magic!" Under this cloud of dust, every wound inflicted by the Modo Legion could be fatal. Those attacks had curses in them, leaving wounds bleeding, festering, and difficult to heal.

"Hold on, hold on a little longer, and you'll be there!" the general tore off a strip of cloth and wrapped it around his bleeding arm: "In front of you is the Ten Thousand Souls Swamp, as long as you pass this swamp, you can leave this damn dark cloud!"

The Chosen One, smoking a cigar, walked beside the general, and asked as he watched around, "I heard that the Swamp of Ten Thousand Souls was once a battlefield, a place where the clans fought a decisive battle against the Modo Legion. Because there were so many people who died, it became a place where evil spirits gathered. My old Cao is not afraid of ghosts, but I want to know, if such a large group of us have passed over there, and those resentful spirits run out to say hello to us, should we laugh at them and say hello, or should we copy the guy and cut it?

"I don't know, and I haven't been. All I know is that there will be ghostly fires floating there. There have been too many strong people who have died there, and when their souls are immortalized, there will be no life there. We can't do anything now, so we can only go there. But if you really run into those old seniors and martyrs who resisted Zoro," the general was silent for a moment, and then grinned: "I think, it's definitely useless to copy the guys, so you can smile and say hello first and try it - what if you can form a New Year's friendship?"

"Ahh

The general's speech caused the people nearby to laugh, and the Chosen One, Lao Cao, patted the shoulder of the Holy Light Knight beside him: "No matter what, I will definitely stay by this brother's side anyway." When there are no monks chanting scriptures and Taoist priests drawing talismans, these big bulbs are the most reliable!"

Talking and laughing, slightly dispelling the gloom in his heart. But when everyone cautiously advanced a distance and finally saw the Ten Thousand Souls Swamp, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

As far as the eye can see, it's just a wilderness. There are no puddles, no swamps, no drifting ghost fires and ghosts. The Knights of Light closed their eyes for a moment to confirm that the necromantic aura had been swept away.

"It looks like it's not bad for us. But anything out of the ordinary right now struck me badly. The general's brows tightened, and he muttered to himself: "Those countless unjust souls will not suddenly disappear out of thin air, and if they are no longer here, it means that they must have gone somewhere else......" (To be continued.) )

PS: I went out on duty the day before yesterday, and I worked the night shift yesterday, so I can finally breathe a sigh of relief today. I worked for nine days in a row, and I was enough. But the bad news is that I have to go to work tomorrow, and I hope I can write a little more today.
