Section XXVII: Deviation of the Route, Moria
There was a bout.
"I'd suggest we change our itinerary a bit and head to the Moriath Mines first, and get rid of the Firefiend and Goblin communities there."
Chu Xuan listened to Zhan Lan's information relay, and carefully asked a lot of detailed questions. And after a short period of thought, he made his proposal to the temporary deliberative body of the Middle-earth team.
"It really loses the suddenness of our actions." "But it can bring us an army of elves β considering we've been delayed for a while," he said. If Saruman has the eyeliner of other reincarnation squads around him, there is a high probability that he will already have the possibility of guarding. I think this way of scheduling manpower is reasonable. β
Jiang Yu glanced at the two newcomers below - after experiencing a 'bloody battle' with Oak, Jiang Zhe and Miao Ruoleng's growth was quite unsatisfactory. At least they have mastered the general usage of nanosuits and have the courage to take up arms. Although Jiang Zhe did not show any talent beyond expectations, his melee hand-to-hand combat ability growth was also greater than the average of ordinary people. And Miao Ruoleng's marksmanship and arm strength ...... can only say that it is very incompatible with her identity as a social animal painter.
It's ok.
But even if it's okay, it's a fact that a lot of time is wasted because of them. The suddenness of the surprise attack on Isenger has disappeared...... No, or rather, it wasn't very feasible from the start. Because fast and long-distance displacement means such as flying machines cannot be used, and this means that whenever the news of the disability of the Ring Spirit reaches Saruman's ears, he will most likely increase his vigilance.
Jiang Yu didn't expect much from the 'strange' in this surprise attack at first. Because he is accustomed to anticipating the enemy's leniency, the battle situation he conceived is also a frontal conflict with Saruman, a positional battle. Through tactics and strategy, you can strip away all the tricks of the wizard like an onion. Of course, it would be great if you could save Gandalf just in time, or bump into Gandalf's escape.
And now...... That's fine.
But......
"Chu Xuan." Jiang Yu's voice was slow and logical. "I remember that the plan to surprise Issinger was proposed by you from the very beginning. Now that we're changing that, it's basically like reinventing the previous course of action - I think you must have a lot more weight at hand to swallow the plan you originally planned. β
He looked at Chu Xuan, and Zheng Zhe also tilted his head to look at him.
"Yes, yes." Someone carrying an axe nodded repeatedly. "I trusted your plan a lot, and I've made a lot of preparations. When Jiang Yu was worried before, I also told him not to think about it and trust your tactics. As a result, you made me slap myself in the face. β
He has a thick face, and a few slaps are actually not a big deal.
However, what he said was true, and there was something a little embarrassing about it.
And Chu Xuan only pushed his glasses lightly.
"I do have a reason, and Zhan Lan has already thought of a lot of this reason." He said: "Although this side quest triggered by Jiang Yu is limited to him and Zhan Lan, it is really a pile of too many coincidences, it is too low in terms of probability, but it represents the will of the main god to a certain extent. In other words, it is the deliberate guidance of the Lord God, who wants us to go to Moria, where we can get some reinforcements, treasures, and the general situation of the world. Or, get rid of something in the way ahead of time. β
"If this is an ordinary plot world, then it's nothing. It is nothing more than the guidance of the Lord God to clean up as much as possible the mess that must exist in every world. β
"But, it's a team fight." Zhan Lan lightly pressed her forehead. "And in a team battle, such an action is tantamount to a certain partiality of the Lord God towards us."
"We should not be favoritized." Chu Xuan nodded. "Whether or not it was unexpected by the Lord God, we defeated the second-strongest main force of Dongmei. suppressed the third-strongest Arctic body. In this team battle, those who have not yet come into contact with us are the only seedlings of Nanyan. Even for the sake of rough dynamic balance, the main god should favor the weakest Nan Yan. β
This kind of thing has been ...... Or is it going to happen. In the original world line of the biochemical two team battles, because the demon team is beyond common sense. The main god then forcibly promoted the iterative evolution of the T creatures in the entire Raccoon City before they arrived, so as to ensure the balance of power between the two sides of the team battle. Of course, this may not be understood as the nonsense of the wise men of the Continent team in the original text.
After all, the first crotch pull of the Zhongzhou team in the original canon is the overlord, and the second crotch pull is Xiao Honglu. The former's only record from the second fight in the world to the final battle, except for the tube pulse gun carriage that can be perfectly replaced by the creation of people, is that when the inner ghost takes away Xiao Honglu's head. And the latter has not succeeded in even a single layout from the fourth world to the final battle. The exchanged DND spells have never been useful anywhere other than as a resource black hole. And the fact that Chu Xuan was embarrassed to be the culmination of mortal wisdom every day was his only glory.
Luckily, they're not on the team right now.
"But we're being favored." Jiang Yu touched his chin. This shows that the Lord God judged that we were only fair in this teamfight if we were favored...... This means that there is some kind of big change in this team fight. Or ...... Nan Yan made something big news beyond his expectations...... Could it be that they resurrected Morgoth? β
"They can't do it yet." Chu Xuan shook his head, but this meant that he acquiesced to the former one of Jiang Yu's conjectures.
ββ¦β¦ I remember you told me before that let's be as merciful as possible when we approach other reincarnation squads. Was that what you were afraid of at the time? Is it time to explain what's behind it? β
Chu Xuan was silent.
"It's not time yet." He tilted his head slightly after a few seconds, avoiding Jiang Yu's gaze. "The puzzle is not complete, and my current speculation is based on a possibility that is inconvenient to speak for. I'll explain it in detail when the time is right. But for now, please allow me to hide it for now. I judged that concealment would be good for us. β
Jiang Yu hasn't had time yet...... I didn't think how to answer him.
And until then.
"How do you look like you're making a spy movie, uh...... We should be on the side of justice. "Cheng Xiao, forcibly break in." As long as we keep on the right path, the general trend of the world will ...... Should it be the direction that is better for us? β
He looked at the others.
The others looked at him.
Others looked at their looks.
Then the others continued to look at him.
"That...... Should we be on the side of justice? He asked with some uncertainty in the blink.
"It should ...... Right? β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The reincarnation eventually discussed the result of changing tactics. I went to the car first, Moria. Anyway, Ichengh was there, and even if Saruman knew about it in advance, he wouldn't be able to run long. Moreover, it will take time for the wood elves to assemble troops, no matter how fast they move and how well they are disciplined, they will definitely not be able to catch up with the reincarnators to ride the storm directly.
Time has already been wasted anyway - so it doesn't hurt to waste a little more.
Instead, it's the Moriath Mine - every wizard in the books knows that the fire demon is sleeping there, but they don't bother to provoke it. Even Sauron, the Dark Lord, is the same. Because the Fire Demon King has never recognized Sauron's identity as the Demon Lord, and this also means that the Fire Demon in the depths of Moriath is currently in a neutral position.
It will definitely not favor the neutral position of the bright side.
Well, let's use it for surgery first.
The reincarnators think so, and the reincarnators act so. When the storm of the Middle-earth team descended, revealing the forms of the veterans in front of Taurrell, the withered Sylvan elf did not show much surprise. She just glanced at the reincarnators quietly, noted the number and general characteristics of the reincarnators, and then did not say anything superfluous, but only acted as a guide, pointing the reincarnators in the direction of Moria.
It wasn't a long distance.
The storm rolled up in the night, descending in front of the mystical gates of the Moria's mines before the morning light fellβperhaps because the presence of the reincarnators was too strong. The giant octopus-like watchmen who inhabit the waterhole did not appear. And before the last rays of moonlight faded, the magic on the door was also revealed in the eyes of the reincarnators.
The riddle to solve it is the elven word for 'friend'.
And the temporary guide of the Middle-earth team was naturally able to say it easily.
