Chapter 159 Crossroads

"It always feels a little too quiet."

Farodan looked around cautiously in front of him. From the moment he rode on the road, this guy never let down his vigilance.

"According to my experience, there should be many Oaks here, or Goblins emerging from somewhere. They like to sneak attack on people passing by."

"Maybe there will be wargs at night."

“In the past, I would never have embarked on this path if I didn’t have to.”

"Your experience is out of date."

Unlike Falodan, who was always tense, Levi didn't pay much attention to the situation on his sides or above his head.

"It's unlikely that there will be any Orcs in this place now, and I've blocked the front hall of Orc Town."

"As for the Orcs and Wargs that usually wander in the mountains, the Orc side suffered heavy losses in the Battle of the Five Armies. Most of them were slaughtered. It is estimated that they will not be able to recover for a long time."

"How many Orcs died in that battle?"

Falodan asked.

"I haven't counted, probably tens of thousands."

"Tens of thousands..."

Now all the Oaks in the entire Lonely Land may not have these...

With so many dead, it can be said that all the Oaks in the Misty Mountains have been wiped out.

Plus Orc Town is blocked.

"Okay, now I know why it's so quiet."

Having said that, the homeless man did not fail to be vigilant at all.

Highlight a major.

The two of them kept moving forward and arrived at the Anduin Valley without any disturbance.

“I always feel like it’s very quiet here.”

"In my impression, there are many Orc camps or fortresses in this area, which are quite troublesome to deal with. Now they have all disappeared."

"Well, Gandalf and I, the gray robe wizard, went here shortly after you left. He was responsible for evacuating the residents, and I was responsible for clearing out the Orcs."

"Then what?"

"We both did a great job."

"...Okay, got it."

"But we have to turn."

Falodan explained: "There is a black forest ahead, and the road over there has been covered by trees, making it impossible to move forward."

"We can go south first, bypass the woods, and then go to Changhu Town. This route is safer."

"No."

Levi reminded: "Don't worry about safety. In this wilderness, there is only one thing we need to consider, and that is which way is the fastest."

"...Okay, okay, do as you say."

The original trip to Changhu Town was cancelled.

The two of them bypassed the Black Forest and ran eastward in the wilderness of Rovanian, only stopping for a break at night.

Although a Dúnedain who is good at fighting can do it even if he does not ride a horse and just relies on his feet to run non-stop for several days without rest, it is not necessary and it is not an extreme situation now.

What is more needed now is to recharge our batteries.

But even so, the speed of travel is very fast.

Not many days passed before the Rovanian Wilds was already behind them.

At night, a road with traces of simple repairs appeared in front of us.

This is a crossroads.

The horses were tied aside, and the two found a place to sit down by the roadside and began to discuss. “Let me think about it.”

Falodan recalled: "This is a road built by the Dorvinians. They call this road the 'Wine Road'."

"Far to the north from here is Riverdale City, to the west is the Great Wilderness of Rovanion, to the east is a major trading port city in Dovinion, where there are more elves, and to the south is Dovinion. It is the center of human activities. From there, there is a ferry heading south, from where you can sneak to the place where the Dongyi people live. "

"But it may not be easy to enter now. After all, the Dongyi people have been very alert recently."

"Don't worry about this, there will be a solution." Levi looked quite confident.

Very alert - can't we just keep them from seeing it?

"Then let's go south?"

"Can--"

!

Just as he was agreeing, Farodan suddenly drew his long bow from his back and shot an arrow into the grass next to a tree.

A rapid scream came, as if the arrow had triggered something. With a roar, a large number of Oaks emerged from the grass. A warg with black fur jumped over these Oaks and rushed at them first.

? !

Falodan quickly drew out his sword and faced it, blocking the open mouth and fangs of a warg with a click, and then pushed hard, directly defeating the warg with strength, pushing it forward, and then One chop.

With a huff, the warg's body ignited with fire and began to howl.

——Before setting off, Falodan's equipment was also enchanted. Now the sword in his hand is quite sharp, and it also comes with special effects such as knockback, sweep, and flame.

However, the combat pressure is still considerable.

Obviously, both the warg and the oak know that the persimmon must be picked soft first.

Compared with the man in jet black armor, this ranger looks much more fragile. As long as he can kill this one first, he can besiege the one behind him, which consumes a lot of energy...

Boom!

Several wargs flew back with their bodies on fire and knocked down several Orcs.

"I haven't seen such a courageous Oak for a long time..."

As Levi spoke, the nemesis in his hand shone with blue light, which was extremely conspicuous under the night sky.

Whether it was an Oak or a Warg, their hearts trembled when they saw this weapon, and then they looked at that person——

Although I don’t know him, I feel very scary and uneasy.

"The Orcs of Mordor."

Falodan took a step back and brought back a reminder.

"No wonder."

These are Orcs and Wargs directly controlled by Sauron. They may not be as brutal as Moria, but they are more determined.

Also, the equipment is better.

Their armor was dark and strong, and the feel of the sword when it was struck on it was obviously different.

roar!

The Oaks did not flinch, but became more ferocious after several companions died, including the wargs, who roared and rushed towards them.

If the wargs in the Misty Mountains still look like animals, then the dark wargs in Mordor are completely out of the category of 'normal'. Their eyes are completely scarlet and crazy.

Falodan chopped down the charging Orcs with three swords, nimbly shuttled between the weapons and fangs, and occasionally raised his bow and fired rapidly backwards. Without any warning, the Orc archer who tried to sneak attack was hit on the head. An arrow was inserted.

It can be said that it has both strength and sensitivity, and can reach far and near.

After a while, there were no enemies left standing around him.

And when Farodan finished dealing with a dozen Oaks and Wargs on his side, he turned to look at Levi.

I saw Levi stepping on the head of a warg and slowly pulling out the sword inserted in it. There were burnt corpses in the trees, grass and open space near him.

The number is at least double that of our own.

Falodan put away his sword and could only say "well done".

If I hadn't been watching this with my own eyes, I might have thought it was an Oak rain.
