The great news of the establishment of the Demon Hunter Fortress was spread by some merchants and travelers to various parts of Middle-earth. www.biquge.info Although people don't know what this group of people do, just by hearing the name, they know that this is a team dedicated to eradicating demonic beasts.

This news gave a little light to the hearts of those who were gradually shrouded in darkness, and at least let them know that in this world where evil is rampant, there is a group of people who are resisting.

The construction of the fortress was not completed overnight, not to mention the fortress drawings provided by Edward, the structure was very large, and it needed to be built with mountain stones, which added great difficulty to the dwarven craftsmen - Edward had already promised the elves not to cut down the forest, but only to use mountain stones as the construction materials for the fortress.

And before the fortress can be built, a large number of watchtowers must be set up along the way of this line, and a ranger force must be formed to fight against the orcs who intend to attack the watchtower.

The commander of the rangers, Jin Li, had just arrived at the Demon Hunter camp and did not have the ability to obtain the Holy Light, and he also had to direct the construction of the dwarven craftsmen, so Edward had to temporarily take the lead of the rangers and patrol during the construction of the fortress.

Fortunately, the orcs focused their attention on the camp of the Demon Hunter Fortress, and the attacks on the defensive line were not very frequent, which saved Edward from the pain of traveling. And the demon hunter camp gathered a large number of infantry and elven rangers, and the half-orc troops did not dare to attack easily.

While the Knights of the Demon Hunters were struggling to build, fight, and patrol, the rest of Middle-earth was also on the sidelines, and a large number of orcs began to gather forces in the middle of the Graton Plains and the upper reaches of the Grey Flood, trying to attack the Demon Hunter camp from both the north and the south.

At the same time, Ruiweidale, the Woodland Kingdom, and the Dwarven Kingdom also sent a large number of reinforcements to assist the Demon Hunter Knights in gaining a foothold at the foot of the Misty Mountains.

This is a crucial war, if the Demon Hunter Knights win, then the Demon Hunter Fortress will definitely be established, and the Charr-Iron Hills defense line will soon be formed, and then the Orc base camp in the north and south will be divided by them, and they will not be able to appear in Middle-earth at will. And if the Demon Hunter Knights fail, then the fortress will inevitably be destroyed by the orcs, and Edward's plans will also be ruined.

For the sake of the strength of this war, Edward had to personally come to the key point of the defensive line.

The mountain crossing and the old forest road are the key to hindering the smooth passage of the cavalry, the mountain crossing road is rugged, the mountains and rocks are forested, the cavalry can only dismount and walk here, and need to pay attention to the cliffs under their feet at all times, the terrain is very dangerous. The Old Forest Road is a woodland road that divides the dark and dense forests of the north and south, and it is permeated with demagogic magical power, which is also a headache for the cavalry.

The second month after the fort began construction, Edward, Legolas, and a group of Elven Rangers climbed the cliff next to the Old Forest Road.

"Don't let me be disturbed while I communicate with the elemental spirits!" Edward thrust Starlight into the cliff top, then said to Legolas, "If we get Golem's help, it will be of great benefit to widen the mountain pass and deal with the orcs!"

"Don't worry, I'll do everything I can to protect you. Legolas said confidently.

Due to his soul bond to Edward, Legolas had the right to learn skills. And Edward didn't skimp on it, giving most of his achievement points to Legolas to buy skills. Today, Legolas has become a veritable hero-level hunter, and he is also a hunter who knows the path of the Holy Light. The bunch of rangers he brought with him were also the elites he taught.

Coupled with Alan, Edward believes they will be able to protect themselves.

As he spoke, Edward closed his eyes and raised his hands at the same time, a whirlwind of rubble surrounding him.

"Listen to my request, O earth elemental spirits of Middle-earth, and help us eradicate evil. ”

With Edward's incantation, his perception spread to the rugged mountains, searching for a place where the earth elementals gathered.

Legolas and the Elven Ranger surrounded him, their piercing eyes watching all around, their bows and arrows clenched tightly in their hands.

It is not easy to communicate with the elements, and the elemental spirits, who are accustomed to hiding their whereabouts, will not appear at random at Edward's request, and Edward needs to convince them with pure elemental mana and words.

Fortunately, in the middle of this cliff, no one bothered him.

As the evening approached, the trail began to be foggy, and even with the elves' excellent eyesight, it was difficult to spot a little farther away.

A very large shadow appeared in front of everyone, his head needed to be looked up by the elves, and his feet were directly on the bottom of the cliff.

A huge gray-black rock skull cut through the mist and stretched out in front of Edward and the others.

"Are you calling me, tiny human!" the rock skull made a strange and shrill sound that Legolas and the other elves couldn't understand, but Edward was able to communicate with him with his heart.

"Lord of the Earth Elementals, I need your help and that of your people. Edward did his best to communicate with the somewhat grumpy Earth Elemental King, "Darkness is coming, everything in the world is about to be defiled, and the creatures of Middle-earth must resist with all their might to bring the light back. ”

"Why should we help you, human. The Earth Elemental King did not submit to Edward's will, "We have survived on this land for thousands of years, and we Golems are not afraid of any threat. ”

"You woke me up, and you're going to pay for it!"

With the roar of the Earth King, three smaller Golems appeared around Edward and the others, seemingly intent on smashing the harassers to death with their massive fists.

"Wake up, Earth Elemental King, your will is being eroded by evil forces!" Although Edward's eyes were closed, his perception was very powerful at this time, and he felt an evil gaze shuttling from a distant place, directly enveloping the Earth Elemental King's body.

"Legolas, Alan, block Sauron's evil sight for me!"

Alan and Legolas, who had a soul link with Edward, immediately made a move. Alan flew behind the Earth Elemental King, and with a flap of his wings, a huge barrier of holy light appeared in front of him.

Legolas and the Holy Rangers shot arrows with their bows, and a large number of arrows carrying holy light struck the stone fists that fell from all directions.

Thankfully, Golem's movements were slow, and the Holy Ranger had plenty of time to get the Golems out of direction.

"Boom!" A loud bang rang out around Edward and the others, and the Golem's attack was either shrunk back or deflected around, smashing out huge craters.

"Stop!" Sauron's evil gaze was blocked by Alan's barrier of holy light, and the Earth Elemental King rubbed his head with a huge stone palm and shouted.

"See, mighty Earth Elemental King. Edward took the opportunity to convince, "Your body has unparalleled strength, but your will gradually weakens as you sleep. I can foresee that if you don't have my help, you will be controlled or bewitched by this evil force, and become a puppet of the evil camp!"

"Do you really want to see such a future?" answer me, Lord of the Earth Elementals. ”

"This damn eye!" the Earth Elemental King's voice began to tremble, "Originally, we Golem were absolutely neutral beings, not like intervening in any disputes. But you're trying to control me and push me over to the human side!"

"I grant your request! The Earth Elemental King regained his composure, "What do you need us to do?"

"Show your strength! Cut a wide, smooth path out of the mountains that cut off the eastern and western plains. "Edward didn't ask too much, the earth elements in Middle-earth were very irritable, and he was afraid that too many requests would anger these earth elements.

"No problem, human!" the Earth Elemental King waved his arm, and a large number of Golems appeared in the cliff, "I need your help to help me fight the erosion of that damn eye." In return, I'll send five Golems to help you fight the forces of evil!"

"Then we have a good time working together, and I will send Alan to stay by your side. "Edward didn't think Sauron had enough power to cast such a long-range mind control spell at all times. But to be on the safe side, he kept Alan by his side, just in case.

"Hahaha! Very good!" The Earth Elemental King's laughter almost deafened Edward and the others' ears, "Then little bird, you will be my closest companion from now on!"

Alan stood on the broad shoulders of the Earth Elemental King, and an angry expression appeared on the eagle's head, as if to say: I am not a bird, but the king of the mighty Hippogriff!

Finishing his communication with the Earth Elemental, Edward opened his eyes and nodded at Legolas and the Elven Rangers. Then the elven rangers let out a burst of cheers.

............

The appearance of the stone giant surprised and delighted the dwarven craftsmen who carved the mountain stones. At the same time, their workload was greatly reduced - Golem could dig out a large amount of stone with a single punch, unlike what they needed to chisel with a hammer!

The morale of the Demon Hunter camp was boosted, and like a strong wind, it blew away the clouds of the army's oppression, giving people hope.

Having already received the Holy Light and began to perform his duties, Jin Li even curiously stepped forward to touch these creatures that only appeared in legends, and was gently flicked by the Earth Elemental King, causing bursts of laughter.

Half a month later, just as Edward was communicating with the natural elements on the old forest road, the mountain range at the mountain pass was opened up by many stone giants, and the Demon Hunter's Canyon officially replaced the mountain pass and appeared on the map of Middle-earth!
