Chapter 128: The Battle of Rising 7
While the Demon Hunter Fortress was in the midst of fierce battles, Legolas of the Southern Dark Forest also led a group of Demon Hunter Ranger and warriors, all of whom were elves, quietly advanced. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
This secret army did not ride horses from the beginning of the old forest road into the dark jungle in the south. Relying on the elves' familiarity with the forest, they walked through the vast dark forest, and gradually approached the stronghold of the orcs in the southern dark forest, Dolgodor.
Legolas brushed aside the dense foliage, glanced at the terrifying and deep castle in the distance, and then crept to a camp hidden by tree branches.
Gandalf, who hadn't been seen in a long time, and Ridagast, who had been scruffy as usual, were sitting with the elven demon hunters, munching on dry food.
Seeing Gandalf, who had not yet appeared when he left, Legolas smiled and walked up to him and gave him a hug. When Redagast, who was next to him, stood up and asked for a hug, Legolas dodged away in disgust.
"Brown-robed wizard, you're the dirtiest wizard I've ever seen. Legolas said in a joking tone, "Even the dwarf of the Golden Bolt doesn't stench half as much as yours." ”
"I'm so sorry about that. Ridagast embarrassedly wiped his hand on his shabby and dirty robe, and didn't care, "It's not a stench, it's the smell of nature." ”
"your natural breath, man. Gandalf took a hard drag on his pipe, "Your natural scent has made me less eager to eat. ”
Then, the three looked at each other and all laughed softly.
"I heard the news of Edward's return. Your Demon Hunter Knights have caused quite a stir. Gandalf looked at Legolas and said with a smile, "Many human kingdoms in the south have heard of the organization of the Demon Hunter Knights, and the establishment of the Knights is a fresh and exciting news for the lifeless continent of Middle-earth. ”
"It's just a pity that so far, we have not had the support of the human kingdom. Legolas was noncommittal.
"Maybe they're too far away to come to the aid in time?" Gandalf didn't believe even himself, and sighed and changed, "You know, there is no kingdom among the human race that doesn't have a charismatic power at the moment. ”
"Don't talk about that. Legolas interrupted the conversation, "I'm glad you're here to help me, Edward has given me a mission to harass or capture Gorgodor, and my purpose is to capture this evil lair!"
"Just these people?" said Gandalf, frowning as he looked at the number of demon hunters.
"Yes, these are the only ones. Legolas was unhappy with Gandalf's expression, "But Mr. Wizard, don't underestimate any of us in the Demon Hunter Knights, they are all powerful warriors with the Light. ”
"Besides, the orcs didn't know we were here, and their focus was now on the west. Legolas said, "The forward battalion led by Bion is fighting fiercely with the Orcs of Dolgordo on the Anduin River, all we need to do is to capture Dolgordo from behind while their whole army is dispatched, and then flank this evil force with the forward battalion and the elven army of Roslorian!"
"Bion, you mean the uncommunicative bear?" asked Redagast in surprise, the brown-robed wizard lived in the forest all year round and had a special affection for animals, and of course he had communicated with the Skin-Drapeds.
"Yes, he, along with his last remaining people, joined the Demon Hunter Knights and became the main force of the Forward Battalion!"
"Very well! With the Phipes on board, I don't think the battle between Anduin and Roslorian will be a problem. Gandalf exclaimed, "Let's now study how to capture Dolgordo, a place I have been to before, and where I repelled Sauron. ”
"Without the aid of Madame Galadriel, King Elrond, and Saruman, you might have died there. "Ridagast unveiled the short road.
"Shut up! that can't be an obstacle to my understanding of the terrain!" Gandalf said angrily.

Three days later, the elven rangers, who were skilled in eagle-eye arts, noticed the massive movement of Dolgodor's troops, and a large number of orcs, led by a ringwraith, lined up to cross the bridge of Dolgodo's castle and headed west.
"I've received word that there are three Ringwraiths in Dolgordo, and only one has been dispatched now?" Gandalf wondered.
"No, there's only one Ringwraith here. Legolas sorted out his equipment and said with certainty, "Now that the Demon Hunter Fortress is in the middle of a fierce battle, seven Ringwraiths have appeared on the battlefield, including the Ringwraith's head, the Witch King of Angmar. Add one of the Ringwives killed by Edward and the one here, and all nine Ringwraiths are all together!"
"Edward actually killed a Ringwraith?" Gandalf said incredulously, "What a great feat, I heard that the Ringwraiths are all immortal?"
"Now is not the time to discuss this. Legolas digressed, "Now is the best time for us to capture Dolgodor, let's get ready to go!"
With Legolas' orders, the paladins of the Demon Hunter Knights were the first to line up, and they would be the key to this raid.
Dolgordo is connected only by a three-person parallel stone bridge, under which is a bottomless abyss, and there are numerous trebuchets on Dolgodo. If these Demon Hunter Paladins can't storm the castle in a very short time, they will have a hard time capturing the place once the trebuchets destroy this fragile stone bridge.
After some time, the serpentine team of orcs disappeared into the forest, and Legolas waited for most of the day to reach the front of the group after the Elven rangers had heard the news that the orcs were fighting the demon hunters led by Aragorn in the west.
The Elven Ranger closed his eyes and took a deep breath, suddenly opening his sharp eyes, quickly locking on to the orcs who were wandering around the trebuchet.
"Knights of the Demon Hunters, charge me, for justice!" Legolas commanded in a high-pitched voice, and the figure quickly rushed towards the stone bridge, followed by the Demon Hunter Paladin with his shield raised.
The sleepy orc lookout waited for Legolas to rush to the middle of the stone bridge before discovering him, and hurriedly blew the horn. The orcs left behind in Dolgodo's castle panicked, and the orcs in charge of firing the trebuchet also hurriedly began to load the boulder, and the archers shot sparsely at the stone bridge.
Legolas dodged a few arrows with ease, his piercing eyes fixed on the trebuchet orcs. When he saw the orcs preparing to throw stones, he reached for the quiver behind his back, grabbed a large handful of arrows, and in the blink of an eye he drew the bow.
"Barrage shooting!"
Legolas's hand shook like an afterimage, and a large number of arrows shot like several long snakes head-to-end towards several trebuchet points, accurately shooting several orcs who operated the trebuchets into a hornet's nest.
As the orcs fell to the ground, boulders that no one manipulated rolled down from the castle, smashing the large group of orcs downstairs who were preparing to go out into a pulp.
"Well done!" Gandalf, who was following the paladin, couldn't help but let out a cheer.
