Chapter 338: Cirith Ugo

"That's great."

Seeing Levi join, Gandalf quickly expressed his approval.

Anyway, this guy is idle anyway, since he can be lured out to be a helper, why not?

After making a decision here, Levi asked again: "Tell me your intelligence, be more specific."

"It's in Ithilien, closer to the crossroads."

Gandalf recalled and said: "To be honest, I'm very worried. That area is too close to the Witch King's territory. If there were no recent news, I would have suspected that he had been controlled by the Witch King."

"Oh?"

"In other words, Gollum is near Minas Morgul?"

"Yes." Gandalf replied affirmatively.

"Then I know."

Levi smiled.

"I am familiar with that area. There is also a base of mine near the crossroads, and..."

"And?"

Gandalf waited for Levi's next words, but when he said this, Levi was stuck.

He shook his head.

"Forget it, I'm not sure either."

"What are you not sure about?"

"I'm not sure whether the leader of the Orcs has been changed, and whether there have been any changes within the Orcs."

"What does this have to do with us?"

Gandalf asked repeatedly, and was really confused by Levi's words.

"There are always some unexpected things in this world, Gandalf, even among the Orcs there are some people with different hearts, although they may not be very stable."

Gandalf thought and said: "I'm not sure if there is such a situation as you said, but if, I mean if it really exists, then I can only say that this is really rare, it's the first time."

Even a strong-willed hero can hardly break Sauron's shackles, let alone an Orc who doesn't even have a soul.

Yes, Orcs have no souls, and Gandalf, who has a special identity, can understand this best. He has memories of this race.

Most of this race can only be said to be animals shaped into human form. Among them, a few special and powerful ones mostly choose to change their appearance into the appearance of Orcs, which can only be regarded as a skin. They are essentially different beings.

For example, the Orc King in the Orc Town, who has lived for at least thousands of years, is very likely to have chosen the Fallen Maia in the form of an Orc - or a relatively weak one.

In the final analysis, it is difficult for the Orc species as a whole to have individuals who are determined enough to resist Sauron.

Well... but it cannot be said that there are no exceptions, and everything is not so absolute.

"Who knows, sometimes things are so strange, maybe a string in the brain is pulled, and the idea will change completely, or it will never come back to normal."

Levi expressed his own views.

"That makes sense."

Gandalf agreed, and seemed to have a deep understanding.

The old wizard has walked in Middle-earth for two thousand years, and he has met too many people with abnormal brains. Sometimes some people's brains are so weird that he even suspects that they are possessed by Morgoth.

No, that's not right.

Morgoth is not that weird.

After a few simple discussions, Levi set out before Gandalf that day, and directly took the hell passage to quickly reach the base near the crossroads.

As soon as he came out of the stronghold, he headed straight for Minas Morgul, the nearby Cirith Ungol Pass.

This is a narrow passage in the valley slightly north of Minas Morgul, one of the only two passages that can enter Mordor from the west.

The other passage is naturally Minas Morgul, where there is a road called the Morgul Road that leads directly to the interior of Mordor.

Of course, if you expect anyone outside Mordor to set foot on this road directly from Minas Morgul, you are thinking too much.

When the Witch King sat there, it can be said that people hated Gollum and no one wanted to get close to him.

As expected, Gollum should have accidentally bumped into Shelob guarding Cirith Ungol while looking for a small path to enter Mordor, and then began to work for her and find fresh meat for her.

This big spider can only eat dry and smelly orcs all year round, and for some reason, orcs have become vigilant, and recently even eating orcs is not enough.

It was not easy to get a subordinate like Gollum who was agile and could run around to bring her fresh goods, so she cherished him very much.

"But that's it."

Levi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the valley on the north side of Minas Morgul.

Gandalf and Aragorn didn't know what was going on here, but he knew it clearly.

"Shelob, right? Let me see what's going on."

No mistake, one sentence, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, take a look!

Without hiding it, Levi went straight to Cirith Ungol.

The nearby Orcs were squatting in the grass and chewing maggot-infested bread. Suddenly, they looked up and found a figure emitting heat passing by. They were so scared that they couldn't breathe and almost fainted on the spot.

"Why is he here!!"

"Quick, go back and inform the leader!"

Instinctively, the Orcs who found Levi chose to find a leader who was stronger than themselves to deal with this matter.

"Don't worry about him."

When the news reached the lame weirdo, he immediately gave orders to his men.

Seeing that his men didn't seem to understand, he had to stand up and shout:

"A bunch of scum, why are you panicking!"

"Anyway, he's not coming for us, nor for the Witch King, so why should we care about him?"

The powerful roar from the leader successfully calmed the panic of his subordinates.

"That makes sense."

"As expected of the boss, he's smart."

If he's not coming for us, if our side still does something to make him unhappy, wouldn't that be courting death? If he's unhappy and rushes into Minas Morgul in the poisonous fog to beat someone up, that's not pretty.

It's best to stay quiet at this time, and wait for him to leave no matter what happens.

Privately, the Orcs and Uruks speculated on the boss's intentions. Most of them thought that this move was quite wise, as it could protect their own side and did not violate the master's orders.

But where they didn't know, their boss was so excited that he was about to jump up.

While all his subordinates were not paying attention, the lame weirdo hurriedly took the back road and quietly left the barracks, running in the direction where Levi left.

The breeze pushed away the dusty and turbid air, causing Levi to frown.

The environment in Mordor is not very good. Just in Ithilien, it was all grass and bushes. Once you get to the Ash Mountains of Mordor, it is all burnt dry ash. Only some black and lifeless charred wood can reflect the change of location.

Even if this place is really conquered one day, it will be impossible to live there.

The pollution caused by Sauron, if it is purely restored by nature, it will take another era to recover.

But it doesn't matter, these things can be considered slowly in the future.

After walking for a while, Levi came to a narrow and quiet pass and walked up the stairs.
