Chapter 157: Fagon Forest
In the midst of the tension in the Valley of the Holy Helm, a team of humans, elves, and dwarves was marching through the forest to the west in the Fagon Forest to the east of Isengard. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The team was led by a very tall human and an elf.
"This is a forbidden forest, once upon a time, it was connected to us Roslorian. "Sometimes the elves move swiftly through the woodland of rocks and branches, and sometimes they need to stop and wait for the tall human.
"I don't want to know the history of this forest, Hardir. "The tall human was heavily armoured, with knotted muscles and a silver-white beard on his face. Barely dodging the branches, he slammed straight through, "I just want to get through this damn wood." ”
"Well, you may not be interested in the history of this forest, but you must know one thing, Bion. Hardir looked at the bulky Bion and said, "Here, you should never speak ill of the forest. ”
"Why can't we say?" said Bion, "we Skinners, though we like to be in the company of trees, are not very good at traversing such dense woods, which will cause us to lose a lot of fur. ”
Hardir didn't answer, just pointed with his chin at the branch that hooked the heavy armor shoulder guard of Bion.
Bion looked in the direction he was pointing, and met a pair of large, round eyes.
"Oh shit, what is this!" Bion startled, habitually activating the Holy Light, and jumped back. When he saw what was in front of him, the leader of the Phi Phi exclaimed, "I see a tree, a tree with eyes!"
"They are not trees, they are shepherds. Hardir was amused by Bion's appearance, "We also have tree shepherds in the Golden Forest, and they have been friends of our elves since a long time ago. ”
"Hello, my friend, we are elves from Roslorian and paladins from the Demon Hunter Fortress, if it is convenient, can you take us to your leader, we have a very urgent matter to discuss with him. ”
The shepherd was evidently unable to speak, and he stood only one and a half feet high. But as Haldir said, the Shepherds are very friendly to the elves.
With this tree shepherd leading the way, the speed of the demon hunters and elves marching through the forest has been greatly increased. The Shepherd can ask the trees to get out of the way of their branches and leaves, so that they no longer stand in the way of the team.
In the evening of the same day, Bion and Hardir met the tallest shepherd, and ...... in the western part of the Fagon Forest, and in the eastern edge of the Elsinger Two hobbits.
"It's a pleasure to see you here. Haldir had seen the two hobbits when he was in Roslorian, "I remember your name was Merry, and you were the naughtiest of them all, called Pippin?"
"Who are you, and why are you bothering us!" said the tallest treeman, unhappy at being disturbed.
"They are elves, elves of Roslorian, this one is called Hardir, and Lady Galadriel is their queen. Merry and Pipin were also glad to see Hardir, who climbed down from the head of the shepherd named Treebeard.
"Oh! I know the Elven Queen's men. Treebeard immediately laughed happily, "I've been to Roslorian, which used to be one with the Fagon Forest. ”
"And who are these humans, and what about so many humans, dwarves, and elves out there?"
"My name is Bion, and I'm the commander of the Forward Battalion of the Demon Hunter Knights. "I'm not human, I'm a skin-clad man." ”
"The Skin-Locker! there are still Skin-Lockers alive!" Treebeard asked, surprised.
"You are Bion! I have heard Mr. Bierbo say many times that you are a hero in the battle of the Five Armies. Merry was also surprised.
"Bilbo, oh, I remember, he's just as short as you are, and he has big feet. When Bion thought of Bilbo, a rare smile appeared on his old-fashioned face.
"You haven't answered my question yet, Phi Pee. Treebeard interjected, "If you're really a Skinner, prove it to me." ”
"Not only am I ......," Bion roared, and his body immediately turned into a giant bear, "and there were many Fur Men behind me. ”
"We're here to attack Isengard!" Bear said, "Your Excellency our Commander is already at war with the Orcs in the South, and we need to destroy Issinger's Lair of Orcs and the fallen white-robed wizard Saruman as soon as possible, and then go to the Rohan Kingdom to rescue Your Excellency the Commander." ”
"Very well, since you are tree-loving skins and elves, and enemies of the orcs who cut down the forest, and these two hobbits have convinced me. Together, we can attack Isengard. "But before I can do that, I need to gather the few old friends left in the Fagon Forest. ”
"How much time?" Bion nodded as he looked at the tall figure of the shepherd, agreeing to their assistance.
"Don't worry, my Phi Fur friend. Treebeard began to murmur in a low voice, his voice like a gust of wind that traveled through the Fagon Forest.
When Bion heard this, he changed back into human form and ordered his army to rest on the spot.
But he underestimated the slow pace of the shepherd's life, until night fell, and when dawn came again, the beard was still murmuring, and the sound sounded not like a gust of wind, but a feeling of snoring.
"Alright, Treebeard. We must go!" Bion was already impatient, his heart was extremely anxious, and he was not in any mood to make such a joke, "Your Excellency the Commander is waiting for us to come to the rescue, we don't have so much time to waste. ”
"Ah, I've kept you waiting. Treebeard seemed to have just woken up, "We can go now, you see, here they are." ”
Following the direction pointed by the beard, Bion was surprised to see a large number of extremely tall "trees" moving towards this place, they seemed to be walking slowly, but each step was a long distance, and in a moment they came to Bion.
The soldiers laughed excitedly when they saw so many tall shepherds joining them. The same was true of Bion, who packed his bags, gave a shout, and rushed out of the Fagon Forest with a large army.
At this time, there were only a small number of orcs and Saruman himself......
