Chapter 19: Troll Forest, Wolf Attack
"Thank you, but by the way, do you have anything important to do this time? Do you want to stay a few more days? I have been researching a lot of new dishes recently..."
"No need to stay a few more days, but I do have something to tell you this time."
"Levi, since the last cavalry team was annihilated, the Orc King of the Misty Mountains has known your existence. He is likely to retaliate against you. You'd better be careful when you act recently."
Orc King...
The first thing that came to Levi's mind was Azog, but he thought it was wrong. He had never heard of Azog being called the Orc King.
That was that guy. A tall, but bloated and fat Orc appeared in Levi's mind.
Is it the Orc King who lives in the cave?
"I know, thank you for your reminder."
Vagabonds always come and go like the wind. Levi still couldn't keep him after persuading him. In the end, he just took him into the territory for a walk and introduced the new things.
For example, iron golems.
These big guys stared at Farodan expressionlessly, which frightened him. However, the iron golem just scratched its head, and took out a small red flower from nowhere and handed it to Farodan, without showing any intention of attacking.
It seems that the friend-or-foe identification function of the iron golem is still quite reliable.
"Thank you." Farodan politely took the small flower.
After a round of walking, the wanderer left quickly without staying for long.
After a while, Levi also rode on the horse and rushed east along the road.
It must be said that after riding a horse, the efficiency of traveling is not a little bit faster. Although the maximum speed of this horse is only 11.5m/s, it can run all the time.
Moreover, not only can the horse run all the time, Levi does not need to rest.
One person and one horse, just ran at full speed for a day without stopping, and came to a landmark building at an incredible speed: the last bridge.
Near the river, Levi controlled the horse to slow down, stepped across the stone bridge step by step, and admired the scenery on both sides.
The river reflected the sunset, adding a touch of beauty to the evening.
This is it.
"Troll Forest."
Levi spread out the map.
A short walk northeast from here is the dangerous Troll Forest.
It is called the Troll Forest because there are a large number of trolls from the eastern Etten Wasteland and the Misty Mountains.
There are more than three trolls in this forest.
Levi didn't know where the three trolls who would capture Bilbo in the future lived, but this did not prevent him from curiously going in for a walk.
It would be best if he could find it and enrich his own small treasury. If he couldn't find it, he would just treat it as a tour.
Although the scenery in this place is really not very good.
After making up his mind, Levi dug a large hole on the spot by the bridge, temporarily stored the horse in it, and capped it.
Thanks to riding a horse, Levi's food has hardly been consumed in the past two days, and now the reserves are quite sufficient.
After confirming that it was safe to leave the horse here, Levi ran to the northeast without delay.
The sunset was fleeting.
Night has arrived.
A light breeze blew by, but it failed to move Levi at all.
Swish——
After pushing aside a bush, Levi saw a panicked hare inside, and left with disappointment again.
He had been searching for half a night since entering the forest, but still couldn't find any trace of the ogre.
If others saw him, they would definitely think that Levi was crazy.
Levi took the initiative to look for something that normal passers-by would avoid, and the key was that he couldn't find it no matter what.
What, did you hide when you saw me coming?
Suddenly, there was a movement in the bush behind Levi, and a black shadow jumped out of it, raised the knife in his hand and chopped straight at Levi.
"Aha, look what I found——"
Swish——
In an instant, Levi drew out his long sword, jumped up and chopped back.
Critical hit!
"Ka——"
The sound disappeared in an instant.
Look at the body on the ground again.
Oak.
Levi immediately became alert. These guys were not the type to act alone. These orcs were like cockroaches. When one appeared, there must be a bunch of them nearby.
Fortunately, this one was chopped down by him as soon as it appeared, so it would not attract nearby support.
However, when the smell of blood began to spread, it was destined to be an uneasy night.
"Ah--"
The wolf began to howl. The sound was almost in his ears. Levi's hair stood up immediately. He immediately opened his backpack and finished putting on armor in an instant.
Swish.
One by one, the wolf leaped out, and the one in the front opened its bloody mouth and flew directly towards Levi.
It can be imagined that if this bite was solid, the power would be no less than being chopped by a machete.
Boom!
However, the next moment, a wooden square shield with an iron edge appeared. Unprepared, the most fierce wolf rushed into it. The shield did not move at all, but the recoil made the wolf dizzy.
It was destined to have no time to relax. Levi seized the opportunity and slashed at its head with a sword. The wolf wailed and fell to the ground. The critical hit of the sword shattered most of its health bar.
The wolves pounced on him one after another. Levi held a shield and fought and retreated. While facing the simultaneous attacks of seven or eight wolves from all directions, he did not forget to give the wolves on the ground a finishing blow.
As long as the shield had durability, these wolves could hardly hurt Levi.
Obviously, their attack power was not strong enough to cause the "shield breaking" effect.
Boom!
Levi blocked a wolf with his shield and turned to chop at another one. The wolf was so fast that even a wolf as agile as a wolf could not dodge it. However, as soon as he turned around, a wolf immediately came up from behind, opened its mouth and bit his kidney fiercely.
Levi felt as if his waist was pierced by a needle.
This attack had obviously been prepared for a long time, waiting for Levi to show a flaw.
[-1]
But the damage was not high.
It bit the thickest part of the armor.
However, Levi almost forgot that his enemies were not only the wolf.
On a rock behind the wolf pack, an orc quietly drew his bow and aimed.
Swish——
An arrow came.
Boom!
Levi felt a shock in his brain.
The orc archer showed a ferocious smile and was very proud.
The arrow hit Levi's head accurately, and even seemed to penetrate the silver-white iron helmet and pierce directly into it.
Headshot.
However, what happened the next moment frightened the orc so much that he could hardly hold the bow.
Levi calmly pulled out the bloody arrow from his head and took a deep look at the position of the orc archer.
[-4]
This arrow had high damage. If it weren't for the protection of the iron armor, it would have been enough to take away most of Levi's life.
But it was useless.
His satiety slowly decreased, and his health increased rapidly. In almost the blink of an eye, his health bar was full again.
Ignoring the archer, Levi raised his sword and fought with the wargs again. Killing and splashing blood all the way, the orc was shocked to find that so many wargs could not deal with just one person.
The wargs did bite him, and he was indeed injured, but why didn't he die? !
The archer wanted to attack again, but was blocked by the big shield every time. The man would rather be bitten by the wolf than use the shield to protect against his arrows.
It didn't take long.
Levi chewed on beef jerky, stepped on the wolf corpses on the ground, and rushed to the archer's position.
Swish!
He beheaded him with a sword.
