Chapter 153 A sudden adventure
Can't go back?
Listening to what Farodin said, Levi suddenly had a sense of déjà vu.
Ordinary people would definitely not understand this sentence, because they don't understand the mission of those wizards.
A total of five wizards were sent to Middle-earth to assist the free people in fighting Sauron. Three of them were in the middle of Middle-earth, and two went to the far east. After a while, one of the two went to the Harad area in the south.
Whether it is the east or the south, the area of these two places is actually not smaller than the central and western areas of Middle-earth.
There is only one problem, that is, both sides are basically under the control of Sauron, not to mention the Dongyi, who are completely allies of Sauron.
Not to mention Umbar, who has developed the Magic Eye Sect.
People only know that there are Dongyi in the eastern Rhone area and Umbar in the southern Harad area. However, in fact, these two forces are only a corner of the two regions, not all.
The west of Mordor can still be regarded as a hundred flowers blooming, with a lot of space for stable development, but it is hard to say whether Mordor is east or south.
Judging from most of the maps currently in circulation, Mordor seems to occupy only a corner of Middle-earth.
But the real reason is that the map can only record Mordor.
It seems that the free camp surrounded the small piece of Mordor, but in fact, Mordor united with the surrounding camps that could not be recorded to surround the entire central and western Middle-earth.
This is why the Lonely Mountain must not be lost, and the Witch Kingdom of Angmar must not be restored.
If these two places fall into Sauron's hands, the western part of Middle-earth will be like a piece of meat in the mouth of a giant monster, waiting to be chewed up slowly.
After all, there is no Arnor now. If the Witch Kingdom really wants to restore, the rangers alone can't defend the entire north.
Unless Levi moves his home to the gate of the Witch Kingdom.
"This is the first time I know the situation over there. It's very valuable information."
"I'm glad I can help you."
After saying this, Farodan began to deal with the barbecue and bread on the plate. Judging from the speed of eating, it is obvious that his appetite is quite good.
East...
Levi looked at the large fog on the map and fell into deep thought.
After the East Yi resolve the current dispute, I am afraid that the next target will be the next Dale City.
In the original timeline, in the Lord of the Rings War eighty years later, Bard's grandson Brand died to protect the Dale City and the Lonely Mountain, and the then King of the Mountain Dain fought against the East Yi with Brand's body, and finally died of exhaustion.
The invasion of the East Yi killed the two kings of humans and dwarves in one fell swoop. They surrounded the Lonely Mountain and Dale City for more than ten days until the Lord of the Rings was destroyed and Sauron was defeated. The morale of the East Yi began to waver, and the remaining dwarves and humans found an opportunity to counterattack.
Gulp.
Just thinking about it, Farodan had finished the meat and bread on the plate and drank the last bit of beer.
"I have an adventure that I thought of temporarily..."
Levi tapped the table with his fingers and looked at the ranger opposite who was much more energetic.
"Adventure?"
Farodan raised his eyebrows and had a bad premonition.
"Yes, an adventure."
"Maybe we'll need some more manpower."
Levi nodded slowly and continued, "It's best to have someone who is agile and experienced in the corresponding area."
"Can I ask where you're going?"
"Dongyi."
"Why can't you just say my name."
Faloddan looked helpless.
"I'm definitely willing to help you, but I have something to do recently. You know, I haven't been back for a while, and I have to go see my people."
"What happened to them?"
"Nothing, wandering in this wilderness as usual, but I don't know what happened. Almost all the companions in the nearby area disappeared. They seemed to have given up their vigilance here." "Maybe it's because there's really no need to be vigilant around this area anymore."
"How could it be..."
Halfway through his words, he looked at a living legend in black armor in front of him and shut up.
"Well, anyway, I have to reconnect with my companions as soon as possible. I don't know how they are doing recently. In fact, if I hadn't seen you on the road, I would have set off now."
"Where to?"
"To our hiding place."
"That's really curious. Speaking of which, I remember I said that you and your people can come to the roadside fort at any time to use the supplies inside, but until now, why haven't I met any other vagrants except you?"
"Did you not tell them?"
Facing Levi's question, Farodan smiled lightly and replied:
"I did pass this message on to the tribe, but...even if they are poor and often in difficult situations, vagrants also have their own pride."
No merit, no reward, no one disdains to eat for free.
That's probably what it means.
"We can still achieve at least self-sufficiency, and with you here, there are almost no enemies in this area, so there is no need for them to stay here."
"Okay."
Levi understood for a while.
Not to mention other vagrants, even Farodan, who was familiar with Levi, would not come to Roadside Castle when he had nothing to do.
"You are going to find your companions next, right? Can you take me with you? I am curious about your hiding place."
"Sure, if you want."
The short journey was decided in just a few words.
They left as soon as they said they would. After settling the bill, the two of them left the inn and headed south, climbing to a hill.
Nangang.
This is a barren hill located east of Guzhonggang and south of Fengyun Hill. There are few green plants and trees. The soil underfoot is mostly mixed with sand and gravel. It looks gray and gloomy.
A real uninhabited wasteland.
"Are you sure your base is here?"
Levi stood on a high place and looked far away desperately, but he could not see any signs of human activity.
"I'm afraid even the Orcs don't want to come to this place."
"You're wrong."
Faloddan said from below: "On the contrary, the Orcs often gather in this land."
"Then they will be cleared out by our tribesmen who suddenly appeared."
Leading the way in front, Falodan said:
"In this wilderness, no one can detect our location. In fact, if there are no special codes and marks, even we may not be able to find the previous base the second time we come here."
"I hope the mark has not changed during my absence, otherwise it will be a headache."
Walking for a while in silence.
Suddenly, Falodan raised his hand to signal Levi to stop and squat on the ground.
"What's wrong?"
Levi walked over and took a look, but he really didn't see anything special.
"There's a problem, something has been here."
A bad premonition rose in his heart.
"This way."
