Chapter 150: Iomo
"Hurry up, cross the river!" shouted Edward with a sword slashing down a strong orc who was trying to attack Boromo with a bow. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Between him and Boromo, there are still a large number of orcs, and they can't go up to join them soon, so they can only fight here to slash and cover the retreat of the three of them.
Boromo protected Frodo and Sam, fought and retreated, and without hesitation, jumped into a small boat by the river, and sailed towards the opposite bank.
"Legolas, shoot the pursuing orcs, I'll deal with the archers!" Edward shouted, pounced on the orc archers who tried to shoot at the boat, while Legolas nimbly climbed a tree and took advantage of the terrain to shoot the orcs who were chasing into the river.
The orcs soon realized that they could no longer catch up with the hobbit that Saruman wanted, and they all turned on Edward and the others.
"That's exactly what I want! I can't let one of these orcs get away with it. Edward smiled, he had no worries, he could finally fight, "My friends, let these orcs see how powerful the Demon Hunter Knights are!
"For justice!" Aragorn, Legolas, and Golden Bolt also responded loudly to the commander's call, and a strong holy light surged from their bodies. Even Sorey, the pangolin, screamed.
Faced with a commander of the Spirited Witcher Knights, three generals, and a monster, the orcs learned the power of the paladins. Their vaunted strength was simply unable to break through the enemies protected by the Light, and their numerical superiority was rapidly diminished by the combined attacks of the opponent's near and far, and their mobility could not be used to any advantage in this dense forest, and the wolves were even more frightened by the murderous aura of the monster Sorey, and did not dare to approach it.
Soon, the orc team was wiped out, and only the orc team that was chasing Merry and Pipin fled.
After the battle, all three of them and one beast were exhausted and panting, and only Edward was still looking for a severely injured strong orc to make up for it.
"You shouldn't have left me behind. At the end of the mending, Edward patted Sorey's head and said to the trio.
"You need to recuperate, Edward. Aragorn said as he healed the golden bolt with the light, "We think the three of us are enough to deal with the crisis. ”
"But it's not. Edward didn't blame them, "Didn't this surprise you that these orcs were far more powerful than ordinary orcs?"
"Definitely. Legolas was a little ashamed, "If all the orcs along the way are these orcs, we probably won't be able to get here." ”
"Saruman, that damn wizard, doesn't know how to make such an orc. "Their power can almost break my defenses. ”
"What do we do now? There are two roads in front of us, one to the left to Mordor, and the other to the west to the kingdom of Rohan. Boromo and they are now moving forward towards Mordo, are we going to catch up?" sighed Aragorn, "He has always wanted to go to Minastiris and save his people all the way. ”
Edward glanced across the river, where the figures of Boromo, Frodo, and Sam loomed in the woods opposite, but did not look back.
"Do you believe Boromo, will he take advantage of our absence to snatch Frodo's Ring?" Edward didn't know Boromo very well.
"I believe in him. Aragorn pondered for a moment and said, "I believe in Boromo, who has been tested by the Lord of the Rings more than once, and although he was tempted at times, he eventually overcame his greed. ”
"The fact that he went out of his way to protect Frodo is the best proof of this. ”
"Edward, in my last contact, I also thought that Boromo could do his duty as a guard. Legolas said, "Our target is too big to be spread out so that it doesn't attract the attention of Saruman and Sauron. And although our Light is a powerful weapon against the forces of evil, it is also very visible. ”
"That's right, we can travel to the kingdom of Rohan and deal with Saruman while still attracting the attention of the orcs. "And we can't give up Merry and Pipin, who can't escape the orcs." ”
"Alright then, let's head west now, and we'll surround the human kingdom in the south for Boromo!" Edward thought for a moment and decided.
So, the four men and one beast of the Order crowded into a small boat, crossed the Anduin River, climbed over Mount Amonhan, and found traces of the escaped orcs on the way down.
Following the obvious footprints of the strong orcs, the four men and one beast ran wildly, along the Shumu River all the way north, and finally in the northern part of the endless grassland of the Rohan Kingdom, they saw the team of strong orcs that were about to disappear on the horizon.
Aragorn picked up a delicate pin that had fallen to the ground, and Edward recognized it at a glance as Roslorian's handiwork, a Rorian pin.
"That's the pin on the magic cloak that the elves of Lorin gave to the hobbits. Aragorn looked into the distance and said, "The pin doesn't fall off for no reason, Merry and Pippin are probably still alive." ”
"Come on, we've spotted them now, and I guess we'll be able to catch up with them in a day's time!" Edward said, then turned to look at Jin Li, who was at the back of him, "Come on, Jin Li, haven't you trained for forty years?"
"Please, Your Excellency, look at your long legs, and then look at my little short legs. Jin Li said a little breathlessly, "If I can keep up with you, I can already be regarded as a long-distance runner among the dwarves." ”
Edward and Aragon laughed, and now found that the two hobbits were not killed, which made them much happier.
Legolas whistled, and Sorey suddenly turned around and lifted the golden bolt and placed it on his back.
"Aha, I could have done it a long time ago, thank you, my good fellow. Jin Li sat down on Sorey's back steadily, reached out to grab Sorey's mane, and suddenly remembered that it was something that could pull the soul, so he asked carefully, "This, touching it won't eat my soul." ”
Everyone laughed, with such a pistachio as Jin Li, their journey didn't seem to be boring.
After another half a day, the group climbed up a small hill, and from here, the towering Esingerta stood in the distance, and the group of orcs was running towards it.
The next day, after resting for a while, the group continued on their way.
"Wait! there's movement!" Edward stopped abruptly, listening intently, rumbling from far and near. The voice Edward was all too familiar, it was the movement of a human cavalry, and it was a cavalry in heavy armor.
When the crowd saw the cavalry in the distance, they laughed. Isn't it the cavalry of the Demon Hunter Knights who shimmered silver in the sunlight?
Within the borders of the Rohanate, it can only be the team of Iomo or Iowen.
Edward lifted the star and emitted a burst of light. The cavalry was quickly drawn over and galloped towards this direction. They came to Edward and the others, dismounted en masse, and lined up in a neat queue to salute Aragorn.
A blond man stepped forward with a smile, took off his helmet, and hugged Aragorn and Jin Li one by one.
"I'm really surprised to see you here, how come you two are here, and these two are ......," Iomo said with a smile.
"This is our commander, Edward Lee, the Dragon Slayer, and this is Legolas, the commander of the Holy Ranger of the Order. ”
With Aragorn's introduction, Rohan's paladins let out a collective exclamation.
Most of the Paladin veterans that Iomond brought to the fortress followed him and died, and most of the paladins led by Iomo were later replenished from the Rohan Kingdom. They had only heard of Edward and Legolas, but had not seen them in person, and it was inevitable that they would suddenly see these two legendary heroes in the Battle of the Five Armies and the Battle of the Fortress.
Iomer's own eyes widened, looking at Edward and Legolas in disbelief.
"It's an honor to meet you, Your Excellency, Commander!" Iomo was stunned for a moment, then half-knelt down and saluted, and the paladins behind him also half-knelt down collectively.
"We don't have much time here to catch up, though I'd love to get to know you, General Iome. Edward helped him up, "We're tracking a group of half-orcs, they've captured two hobbits, have you seen them?"
"A bunch of orcs, they're dead, we annihilated them last night. Iomo said.
"Did you find two hobbits?" said Jin Li, a little ominously, "man, don't you tell me that you killed them together?"
Iomo didn't answer, but the look on his face already gave them the answer.
"I'm sorry, Commander, but on a night like that, we can only tell the difference between light and evil. Iomo pointed to a cluster of fireworks in the distance, "We piled their bodies together and burned them. ”
The scene fell silent, and Aragorn, Legolas, and Golden Bolt all bowed their heads in silence for a moment with sad faces.
Such a manslaughter was contrary to the teachings of the paladin, and Iomo felt guilty and did not dare to look directly at Edward.
"Things are not as bad as they seem. Edward patted Iomo on the shoulder and said, "Let's go over and make sure, as far as I know, hobbits are not very strong, but they are very good at escaping. ”
"I beg your pardon for not being able to go with you. "Now that the king of the Rohan kingdom is no longer able to distinguish between friend and foe, Iowyn is imprisoned, and we, the paladins who have sworn allegiance to the Rohanate, have been degraded and banished for rebellion. Saruman, the evil wizard, also commanded their armies of orcs to wreak havoc on the Rohanate. We must defend our country. ”
"What did you say, Iowen is imprisoned!" Upon hearing the news, Jin Li shouted angrily, "That beautiful paladin is imprisoned! Didn't you tell them that we are paladins of the Demon Hunter Order!"
"It's because we're paladins that we can't get close to Idoras. Iomo said angrily, "That bastard Grimma has spread rumors that we paladins are a group of people who are trying to steal the power of the Rohanate!"
