Chapter 244: Why Didn't He Move?
"I promise, tease Mordor." Chu Xinyun replied lightly.
The other party is a defeated subordinate who is at a disadvantage, and he doesn't need to explain too much at all, and whether he trusts it or not depends on his personal will.
Although he rescued them and did have the intention of ambushing them, if the other party refused to cooperate, they would all have to be ground up.
"Your Excellency, I would like to know your name." The Skeleton General asked.
"Smaug." Chu Xin did not report his real name, and played the role of cards wholeheartedly.
"If one day, you can make us respect and admire with all our hearts, and we will also worship you as the king of bones, and our bones will be driven by you." The Skeleton General turned his head to glance at the thousands of skeletons.
"That day won't be too far away." Chu Xin didn't force others, after all, superficial submission was meaningless, and he didn't like fake flattery.
At this time, the situation is normal, and the thousands of people on the other side are not easy children to deceive, how can they trust and respect Chu Xin 100% in just a few dozen minutes.
can have the current effect, thanks to Chu Xin's combat power suppression and mouth attack.
Seeing that Chu Xin was not cheating in a twist and turn, the general and other skeletons breathed a sigh of relief.
After changing their mentality, the momentum exuded by the Skeleton Legion is quietly changing, from desperate hysteria to a glimpse of hope.
In fact, the source that keeps them from leaving and imprisoned here is none other than their own curse on themselves.
And now, with the opportunity to take revenge, although it is not a relief, at least there is a good hope, and the restraint of the self is gradually transformed into the motivation to fight.
"If nothing else, thank you for your mercy." The skeleton general is one yard to one yard, and it seems that he was a particular person when he was alive.
Next, the Skeleton Legion jumped into the lake and dived to the bottom of the collapse.
After the fierce battle, they consumed a lot, and under that, they accumulated years of resentment, which can be used for efficient physical replenishment.
"Whew~"
Seeing the full moon hanging high, Chu Xin lay down leisurely.
Card text appears:
"Having a curious heart that is good at discovering and discovering will bring many adventures to the host;
Fight fiercely underwater with the skeleton giant, and successfully subdue it with hard and soft power, showing the experience of old and spicy;
Gain +5% proficiency to reach 45%. β
Seeing that there was no reward, Chu Xin simply turned on the capsule machine.
Whole shot!
Click~
A gacha falls.
+1 for guaranteed accumulation, currently 2
Number of Gacha Remaining: 3
The gacha automatically unscrews: "[Infinite Gold] (Adhering to the dragon's greedy nature of loving gold and silver jewelry, this special skill is extended.) The host can obtain exclusive pure gold currency through battle, and the more intense the battle, the higher the efficiency of the gold coin. The obverse of the coin is engraved with a dragon relief, while the reverse features a map of Middle-earth, with a highly sophisticated spiral pattern on the sides. Gold is stored in the [Smaug] card). β
When Chu Xin saw this skill, he was subconsciously stunned, and couldn't help but marvel that the system really took all aspects into account.
"It's kind of interesting, there will be no shortage of money in the future."
"When it comes to money, sometimes it's more effective than fighting."
β¦β¦
A few days later.
The recovered skeleton army broke through the water and entered the former royal capital under the leadership of the general.
While sighing, they began to clean up the collapsed rock ruins.
The weeds were pulled out, all the gravel was removed, and the remaining stones were left to make way for the streets.
They then merge into a skeletal giant, using the stones as building blocks to reconstruct them based on their vague memories.
In this process, Chu Xin is also involved.
Therefore, after a period of time, the senses and attitudes of the skeleton people towards Chu Xin have changed a lot, and they gradually lost their defenses and concerns.
"The palace doesn't need to be taken care of for the time being, only the real human emperor is qualified to rebuild it." The Skeleton General looked up at the crumbling castle on the mountain.
And behind him, the ruins seem to have undergone a drastic change.
Tall towers have been re-erected, and roads extend in all directions, imbuing it with the beauty of the structural layout.
The flower beds are once again covered with moist, fertile soil, in which the seeds of flowers and plants are planted, and the next year they will bloom in full bloom.
In the streets, many skeletons are cleaning up dust and garbage, washing them with the clear water of the Twilight Lake.
This scene is very harmonious and normal, except for the trivial fact that they are all white bones.
Knock~knock~
There was a sound from the bell tower, and the hands of the huge clock stopped at four o'clock in the afternoon.
"Your Excellency Smaug, it's training time again." The skeleton general said eagerly to Chu Xin.
In an instant, the skeletons of the whole city suddenly seemed to be beaten with chicken blood, and one by one they put down their work with high morale, and gathered to the vast grassland outside the city quite disciplinedly.
"You guys are really masochists~" Chu Xin couldn't laugh and cry.
The so-called training is literal, and it is not a bone collision.
In order to allow this complex skeleton army to quickly adapt to the fighting style of the skeleton giants, Chu Xin personally taught combat skills during these days.
Well, it's not to find a suitable sparring sandbag for yourself~
"Fit," the Skeleton General laughed, "I thought about it all night last night, and finally got a glimpse of your weakness, Your Excellency, please don't underestimate the enemy!" β
Thundered~
The skeleton giant, which was more than thirty meters tall, threw a confident punch at Chu Xin.
A few minutes later.
More than 3,000 skeletons collapsed on the ground from exhaustion, unable to move, and the general even crouched in the corner of the wall to shut himself up.
"Yes, fifteen seconds more than yesterday." Chu Xin praised seriously.
"Your Excellency's strength is unfathomable, you shouldn't have used all your strength in our first battle, right?" The Skeleton General asked.
Without waiting for Chu Xin to speak, he shook his head again and said, "What am I asking for, do you take the initiative to ask for a blow, you can't beat it, you really can't beat it, how did he completely defeat us with one blow just now?" β
Look, the children are all beaten stupid~
Chu Xin, who experiences it every day, is accustomed to it, and he is not worried at all that the skeleton general, who is becoming more and more frustrated, will really be autistic.
Night.
The Skeleton Legion, as always, returned to the bottom of the lake.
Chu Xin did not make a ruthless move, so instead of recovering from his injuries, under Chu Xin's suggestion, he collectively absorbed the power of resentment and guided the strength of his bones.
This point, the skeleton generals, they did not expect at all, can be described as a way that they never imagined.
But Chu Xin is a traverser with the basic knowledge of a traverser, and he immediately put forward this conjecture, and when they tried it, it really worked!
Chu Xin also tried, but unfortunately he couldn't absorb it in his body.
Because those resentments are exuded by the Arno royal capital and the skeleton legion itself, and the popular point is identity binding.
"I've been in Middle-earth for a short time, I don't know if those gods have noticed," Chu Xin, who was lying on the top of the palace mountain, pondered silently, "Gandalf and Saruman are the secondary gods Maia, and Maia has the largest number, Manwei, Uomu, etc. are the main gods Vera, and there seem to be a number of goddesses, what is it called Weili." β
"I vaguely remember that above the Lord God, there is an all-knowing and all-powerful God of creation, just like the God of the Bible," Chu Xin racked his brains to search for the depths of his memory, "He first created the gods and lived together in the Great Hall of Eternity, and then played a chorus of music, singing the universe and the world, and the world is the planet where Middle-earth is located. β
As the memories were excavated little by little, more details emerged one after another.
"The strongest fallen god, Morgoth, interrupted the chorus many times, until the third big movement, the god of creation created humans and elves alone, and the dwarves seemed to be made by the god of the earth, originally only in the flesh, but the god of creation gave the dwarves a soul," Chu Xin began to sort out the origin of this plane, "Next, Vera and other gods entered the world, started to build from scratch, and made it their home, during this period, Morgoth completely exposed his ambitions and directly started a war with his former compatriots, After several failures, he was exiled from the universe, and then, Sauron's ambition to succeed his master continued to plague Middle-earth, and for a fallen sub-god, Manway sent several of his peers Maia to deal with it. β
Don't look at it as a few scribbled sentences, but it brushes over the most thrilling and tragic eras of this plane.
To cite one of the changes: the sinking of the point continent, the originally flat world folded into a spherical shape, which has remained to this day.
In comparison, from the beginning of Sauron's troubles to the current Third Age, it is simply a child's play, no wonder the Veras love to ignore it, and this little splash is even less likely to attract the attention of the God of Creation.
"Hmm~~ The name of the creator god seems to be called...... Just like Iluvita! Chu Xin slowly raised his head and looked coldly at the vast forest on the side of the royal capital.
There is a faint murderous aura.
There was the sound of dead branches and leaves being gently crushed.
The long-awaited enemy has finally arrived, and it's time to blow up the gold coins in earnest.
β¦β¦
Streaming down!
Under the warm moonlight, the shadows of the trees were pulled long, like countless witches stretching out their greedy arms.
A series of rickety figures sneaked quickly.
Ugly faces reveal their identity, from the Orc Orcs of Mordor.
They were all well-armoured, equipped with sharp weapons, and their eyes were full of irrepressible bloody anger, and even their size was one of the best in the group.
There are more than two hundred of them!
"As long as we complete this mission, the Demon Lord will reward us with endless wealth and honor," the leader of the Oaks looked gloomily at Chu Xin who was prostrate on the top of the mountain, "to reclaim the treasures that belong to the Demon Lord and avenge the people who died in battle." β
He was also well aware of the jealousy and fear of his subordinates towards Chu Xin, and then encouraged, "With nine Ring Spirit Lords fighting side by side with us, it is clear that today is Smaug's death day. β
After saying that, nine pitch-black warhorses quietly walked out, proudly raising their terrifying heads.
But when their blood-red eyes passed through the branches and leaves, and they glimpsed Chu Xin's figure, they moved away with great difficulty, instinctively feeling fear.
"Smaug is nothing more than a fragile skeleton of bones, and you are all glorious warriors blessed by Lord Sauron, and in spite of the charge, you have shown your loyalty and bravery to your lordship." The Witch King unabashedly beats the blood.
The Orcs above didn't realize their position at all, and immediately drew their weapons and rushed out of the forest, killing straight towards the royal capital.
"Roar, roar, roar!"
The nine Ring Spirits did not stare dryly, and scattered in a line, following closely behind on the Devil's War Horse.
The role of cannon fodder is to send them to death, and to regain the Supreme Ring, they have to be close to the immortal.
In fact, the rings arrived a few days ago, and they also found out that it was Chu Xin who got the Supreme Ring.
If it were someone else, the Witch King of Angmar would have already appeared with his sword brandished to snatch it, and he would not have delayed.
But off the charts, the object turned out to be the skeleton dragon Smaug who had just killed his own forces, and his strong record instantly made the Witch King and other ring spirits enter a forced calm state.
Therefore, the Witch King decided to take a steady step and gathered all the elite oaks in the surrounding area.
As long as you can successfully obtain the One Ring, this loss is insignificant!
"Why didn't he do anything when there was such a big movement?" The Witch King of Angmar looked at Chu Xin and subconsciously doubted.
gurgling ~
The tranquil twilight lake suddenly bubbled up and rippled.
At this moment, the Oaks, who only knew about Chong, did not notice it in the slightest.
The next second.
Thousands of skeletons climbed onto land with their worn-out weapons, killing Orc one by one by surprise, and the overwhelming number occupied the inevitable victory without question.
"These ugly fellows again, this time, we must defend the city," the skeleton general shouted, and quickly noticed the Witch King of Angmar, "This time, I must not lose!" β
After saying that, he dragged his heavy sword, fought a bloody path in the Orc, and declared war on the Witch King with practical actions.
"What's going on?"
The moment he saw the thousands of troops and horses, the Witch King was immediately stunned, and the other eight ring spirits also hurriedly stopped at the horse, all of them confused.
Coincidentally, on the morning of their peeping, the Skeleton Legion had not yet gotten up from the bottom of the lake and went ashore, and there was only a lone Chu Xin in the royal capital, and in order not to startle the snake, they did not stay nearby, and they knew nothing about the existence of the Skeleton Legion.
"What should I do?" The Ringwrath Adjutant Kehamur asked.
"Withdraw!" The Witch King of Angmar was very unwilling, but the form of defeat was one-sided, and he always pursued the principle of "leaving the green mountains without worrying about no firewood".
The nine rings drove the devil's war horse to turn around.
Kengββ
Suddenly, a flash of black slashed through the air, fiercely piercing the war horse beneath the Witch King of Angmar.
Poof!
A large amount of internal organs and blood burst from its torn abdomen, and its four muscular legs and feet went limp, and it fell to the ground with a wail, cutting a furrow in the slippery grass, and fluttered twice before it was out of breath.
The Witch King, on the other hand, leaped high with agility and power, landing unscathed.
He held a silver sword in his right hand and a black iron chain hammer in his left hand.
The hood fell, revealing a helmet cast with a circle of spikes, as if wearing a crown of thorns.
Inside the helmet, apart from the scarlet eyes, there was only endless darkness and rolling fear oppression.
"I remember you," the Witch King mocked coldly in a hoarse voice, "a ridiculous worm that I crushed to death. β
Teng Teng!
The Skeleton General didn't reply, he accelerated his dash without saying a word, pulled out his heavy sword halfway through the ground, and aimed it at the Witch King in a halfcircle. (End of chapter)
