Chapter 124: The Battle of Rising 3
When Bion led the vanguard battalion to the southern battlefield, Edward, Aragorn, and Arwen were following with the remaining cavalry of the Order. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
They were only about a day's journey from Bion, and this was the result of a hasty march at Arwen's strong urging.
"Edward, why did you leave Aisha in the fortress?" Arwen finally didn't hold back, and asked in a questioning tone.
Edward rode a white horse, which was not the same one that Edward had used when he first arrived on the Midway Continent, and had died of old age in the charr by the time Edward returned.
"A priest is needed in a fortress. Edward replied with some confusion, believing that this explanation was very much in line with the current situation, and that the trials to be put through in the Demon Hunter Fortress required a priest.
"I now know that you are really a cold-blooded man. Arwen was not satisfied with this answer, and she looked at Edward Dao angrily.
"I'm cold-blooded, why do you say that? Edward was even more puzzled, he didn't understand why Arwen said that, was there something wrong?
"Everyone knows that the Demon Hunter Fortress will definitely withstand a large number of orcs, and that is the most dangerous place in this war, and you have left your wife there and put her in danger, are you doing this as a man should do?" Arwen almost gave up her reserve as an elven princess, and said in an angry tone, "Aisha carried out your orders, but it was also out of trust in you. I could tell that she didn't want to stay there, but wanted to be together, even if it was to die on the battlefield. ”
Facing the angry elven princess, Edward lowered his head and thought for a while, and asked tentatively, "Your Highness means that as my wife, Aisha's status should be one level higher than the others?"
Arwen was speechless when she heard Edward say this. She and Aragorn looked at each other, both dumbfounded.
They could now see that Edward did not understand the true meaning of love, and that he had put his wife on the same level as a friend. In his understanding, the Demon Hunter Fortress is a dangerous place, and someone needs to be in charge. Jin Li is the one who knows the terrain of the fortress best, and Aisha is a strong logistical support, so he left the two of them in the fortress, that's all.
In the face of war, Edward has ignored the distinction between family and comrades, placing both types of people in equal importance.
"Young Edward, allow me to call you that. Aragorn shook his head, "It seems to me that you are a child who doesn't understand anything. ”
"I know a lot, Ranger. Edward retorted, "I'm an expert on war." ”
"Yes, you're an expert in war, but you're not a good husband. "I admire your justice and your strength, but you ignore many other things. ”
"Fighting is not all you have in life, Edward. Have you ever considered your wife's feelings when you put yourself in a dangerous situation without thinking? You are also a human being, you need love and friendship, and sometimes you can think about it for yourself. If you think about it this way, one day, you will taste the bitter consequences of losing the people you love. ”
Aragorn said seductively that in his eyes, Edward was a brilliant and powerful messenger of justice, and that he was almost flawless in battle, both in character and strength. But he has a very fatal, spiritual weakness - his understanding of love, like his appearance, is still in the immature stage of a teenager, and has not matured because of the experience of more than 30 years.
As his disciple and comrade-in-arms, Aragorn was obliged to fill in his deficiencies in this regard, and he had to act as a spiritual guide to guide him into the right ideas when no one was teaching him this experience.
"I agree with you. Arwen looked proudly at her future husband, and in her eyes, Aragorn was a mature and secure man.
Edward thought with a frown.
Having lived on the Warcraft battlefield since he was a child, he has been experiencing brutal struggles in the arena since he grew up a little, and Edward's more than ten years have been almost full of battles. The demon hunter Li family has also been fighting for the hunt of demonic beasts all their lives, and the family, whether male or female, is a powerful warrior. The word love is very unfamiliar to him, and his understanding of this word is still only at the stage of observation.
Edward's mind was irrepressibly reminded of the first baptism of love in his life. Aisha's gentleness and unstoppable desire constantly challenged his intellect and faith.
However, Edward's beliefs were extremely strong, and this desire and desire were naturally rejected by him, which led to his current concept.
"Youth, if you have no desire, you will be strong, but sometimes being too rigid will destroy your faith and make your faith crack. Richard also spoke at this time, "There is a saying in the world of Azeroth, it is very good, the ultimate of the Holy Light is the shadow, and this sentence also applies to your current state of mind. ”
"I don't understand, Mr. Richard. Edward was still a little puzzled, "Am I really wrong to do this?"
Richard smiled incomprehensibly, but did not answer his words, and fell silent.
For the rest of the journey, Edward kept his head down in contemplation, and Arwen tried to remind the young dragon slayer again several times, but Aragorn held him back.
"He needs to think for himself, and his stubbornness will hinder our persuasion. "Aragonese Tract.

Half a day later, Edward's army arrived at the battlefield of Roslorian, and as they entered the northern part of the battlefield, the massive stones of the Orc trebuchet were ravaging the charging positions of the Demon Hunter Knights. The furious assault partially enveloped the vanguard battalion of orcs and knights, and while most of them smashed on the orcs, smashing them to pulp, some dwarven goat cavalry and giant bears were still heavily damaged.
Fortunately, taking advantage of the orc's shift of main attack position, Lorraine's elven army regained control of the west bank of the Anduin River, driving the orcs back to and across the river.
Edward put aside his headache for the time being, shook off the stars, and charged with reinforcements.
Bion's steel-clawed bear claws slashed the throat of a troll, and he looked back at Edward and Aragorn as they rushed up, a humanized look of excitement on the bear's face. The others stood up, let out a deafening roar, and pounced on a troll again.
The commander on the east bank of the river, Ringwraith, watched the arrival of the main force of the Demon Hunter Knights, and the shining eyes in the hood flickered.
"My mission was accomplished, I sounded my horn and retreated into the jungle to station. ”
A loud and low horn resounded throughout the battlefield, and the orc army began to retreat regardless of casualties. But they were destined to not leave the battlefield, and a terrible flood poured from the upper reaches of the Anduin River, washing away all the orcs in the river, and also blocking the orcs who had already landed.
The Commander of the Ringwraiths didn't care if the orcs lived or died, even though the force was at least a quarter of the orcs.
The orcs retreated, and the orcs left behind became the target of the Demon Hunter Knights and the Lorin Elven army, and the panicked orcs were soon drowned by the rain of arrows and iron hooves of the two armies.
............
In Roslorian's palace, Galadriel and Celepon personally received the warriors who had come to reinforce them.
"My dear Arwen, it seems you have learned a great deal from the Knights of the Demon Hunters. Galadriel and Arwen hugged each other.
"Yes, Estelle taught me how to use the Light. Arwen said.
"Oh, it's Estelle, not our dragon slayer?" Galadriel looked at Edward and Aragorn.
"Edward still has a lot to do, and he can only make me, a disciple, the chief instructor of the Knights. Aragorn reluctantly explained that Arwen's words were actually a bit rude.
"It's a pleasure to see you again, Ms. Galadriel. Edward didn't let Arwen get angry, smiled slightly, and saluted the elven queen with the standard elven etiquette.
"I'm glad to meet you at this critical time, Edward the Dragon Slayer. This is my husband, Keller Peng. Galadriel looked at Edward Road with admiration and made an introduction.
"I've heard your name a long time ago. Kellerpen also showed enough appreciation and closeness to Edward, and he hugged Edward to indicate that he had put Edward in the same high position as him, "Now it seems that more than 30 years have not affected your appearance. ”
"Again, thank you to the Skin-Worn Warrior. Kellerpeng nodded at Bion in gratitude.
"My duty. Still silent, the Skin-Piercing Man spoke briefly, and then stood behind Edward.
After the pleasantries, everyone entered the dining room, and the long table was already full of food.
"The growth of orcs seems to be a little too fast, do you know how many orcs there are from Gorgodo?" asked Edward, elegantly eating.
"Endless!" Galadriel's face grew solemn at this point, "Our Scout of the Jungle has rewarded him with what he has seen, and there are orcs everywhere in his field of vision, and he can't count them at all. ”
"It's a bit counterintuitive. "What the hell is going on over there in Mordor, making the number of orcs grow so fast?"
"Maybe our gray-robed wizard might know something. Edward remembered Gandalf, "I've sent Legolas and his rangers into the Southern Dark Forest, and I'm sure there's going to be a ...... soon."
Before Edward could finish speaking, he suddenly stood up, a struggling expression on his face.
"What's going on? Edward. Aragorn asked hurriedly.
"Elan has sent word that the Demon Hunter Fortress is under attack. Edward said, "Orcs and trolls are coming from the north, and the numbers are just as endless!"
