The Journey of the Demon Hunter

Chapter 1009

After a few seconds, Virginia looked back and sighed again.

"Blessed by the eight holy spirits, Ms. Elf is right. The more you understate your experience, the more thrilling you will be. I guess you must have some suitable plan again, right?"

"That's right, I plan to go to Minas Tirith, to meet the regent of Gondor, Dinese, and ask him to send an army to Mordor."

Mordor's situation is at stake.

The ranger who had fled back from the Black Gate may not be enough to persuade Dineser to send troops, but Minas Ihir fell and Gondor lost the most important city on the east bank of the Anduin River. Lias was less than three days away, and Dineser couldn't help but not pay attention to this matter. After all, once you pass through Osgilius, you will see the endless plain of Perano. After the plain, there is the city of Minas Tirith where the regent of Gondor lived.

Zelin tried to use summoning charms or resonance bells to ask for help from others, but it is a pity that this world is not only different from other worlds in terms of time, but also in this respect. Neither the Resonance Bell nor the Summoning Talisman worked, Zelin had already written it down in his heart, and until the next time, he would definitely take a few friends who are strong enough and willing to help, as well as the mutant army stationed in Gushan. If Jaques and his mutant soldiers are in Mordor now, the demon hunter may not need to ask for reinforcements at all, and rely on hundreds of mutant soldiers, enough to protect the humans in Mordor from evacuation and help Minas. Ihir held on until reinforcements arrived.

He now understands the situation in the south of China. Perhaps the north is still stable and peaceful, but the south is already full of shadows. When he comes next time, he will not be unprepared.

"I know the road. A month ago, I just came here from Osgilius along that road." Virginia took a deep breath, her robe-wrapped chest undulating slightly. "But since you are here, I don't think there will be any problems next."

"You are too unconfident, Virginia." Zelin sat next to the mage girl and patted her on the shoulder lightly. "You have done very well. Protect these people from standing out, stabilize everyone's emotions, and help them overcome fear and confusion. Many people who are twice your age can't do it."

"Don't comfort me anymore. You must be thinking that if Miss Gnaya is here, she must have a way to defeat the Demon Shadow head-on." Virginia smiled bitterly, a trace of joy still flashed in her eyes, but again There is a touch of anxiety. In the past, Zelin had really thought that someone would give compliments and dismissives just as he claimed on the surface. Later, he realized that no one would hate compliments at the right time and just right.

"No, of course not, Gnaiya can defeat Moying, but she may not be able to stabilize people's hearts like you, and bring so many people out without incident. In some respects, you do better than others. Good. We all need your magic, whether it's destruction or illusion."

Virginia covered her mouth and chuckled twice. "When you see Miss Gnaiya, I will see if you will say that. Actually, we are very lucky. Several times, when the orc patrol approaches, there will be spiders crawling out of the ground to attack them. Thanks. With these spiders, we can come to this hiding place without attracting any attention."

After a few seconds, she put away her smile, and pushed the scattered temples of her forehead behind her ears. "We are going back to Baicheng next? Great. After you tell the old wizard what happened here, can we leave? Let them send warnings to the other kings and lords and send an army to destroy the enemies here. ."

"This is the best result." Zelin nodded. "We rush to Baicheng as soon as possible. The regent will send an army as soon as possible, and the people of Mordori will be able to regain peace as soon as possible."

"You are going to Baicheng?" Idur walked around a refugee lying on the ground and walked towards the demon hunter. "Range, you came out of Minas Ihir, do you know the whereabouts of my father? And Barano, have you seen him?"

"I'm sorry, Idri, there was chaos at the time, I didn't see anyone else, but I didn't see anyone else's body either." Zelin comforted, he did not tell Idri about Castamer. This is unnecessary and meaningless. "Perhaps Barano is still alive, he is a brave warrior, but some orcs can't hardly hold him."

"Yeah...thank you." Idri lowered his eyes, took a deep breath, sighed slightly with the corners of his mouth squirming. "Since you are safe, then I hope you can bring reinforcements from Baicheng as soon as possible."

"Are you not going to Baicheng?"

"No, I'm going to find Barano, and Castamo...My father, you didn't see their bodies, then they may still be alive." Idrir seemed to be talking to the demon hunter. It seems to be persuading myself again. "In any case, this time, it is impossible for the orcs to stop the team heading to White City. Come back as soon as possible, and I will try my best to gather the remaining humans with Talion, and insist until you come back."

"Have you discussed with Talion?"

"Yes. He and his ranger are operating in Mordor. If the orcs capture my father and Barano, the ranger will help me find out the information. I guess the orcs will send the captives to the factory of Sirius Angkor. , Or to the slave market in Norn. At that time, we can lie in ambush on the road and take the prisoners back. And he is willing to help me." Idri said, she sighed lightly. "As long as they are still alive."

"They must be alive." Virginia put her hand on the back of Idri's. "You will succeed."

"Thank you."

Idri walked back to the tired refugee room, broke the branches on the ground, and threw them into the fire where people kept warm. They all lost their homes, and the ring spirit turned Minas Ihir into the Minas Devil's Lair. No one knows whether he can see this city regained again in his lifetime. In the evening, Zelin and Talion discussed what to do next in Mordor. He told the ranger about Norn and how to get in touch with the strange guys. If he wants to help Idri find the captured Gondor soldiers, the Solband Slave Market in Norn is a suitable place.

Before leaving, he did not forget to tell Talion that the Ring Spirit had already appeared in Mordor. In any case, he had better be careful. After all, everyone has only one life, and no one can come out of the tomb again after death.

Finally, Talion handed a letter to Zelin, which he wrote to Youris. He hoped that Zelin would send this letter to his wife by the way when he went to Baicheng.

When Idri awakened everyone the next day, the sky was still gloomy and dark, like the sadness and fear suppressed in people's hearts. The dark power of the Minas Devil's Cave obscures the sky, and the sky here will always be in the dark at any time. After bidding farewell to Idri and Talion, Virginia led the group of refugees to the west, heading in the direction of Minas Tirith.

On the way, they did not see the chasing soldiers. The orc army’s offensive seemed to stop abruptly after the capture of Minas Ihir, just as they did not choose to continue marching outside the black gate, but stationed at the black gate. Door, transform the fortress. They rushed for two consecutive days, without traces of chasing soldiers or orcs, which made these nervous refugees a little relieved. After leaving the range of the Shadow Mountains, the shadow of the Minas Caverns gradually faded, but the sunlight spreading on the body was still not warm. The clouded sky seemed as if two forces were competing, the clouds under the sun and the thick dark clouds. Houndstooth. When the sun appears, people will feel a little relaxed, but when the dark clouds cover the sky again, people will fall into a certain uneasy urgency.

Until the third day when they could see the outline of the Osgilias wall on the horizon, some refugees couldn't help but cry. They managed to survive a disaster and survived the disaster. A group of cavalry galloping in the distance announced to them that they had finally left the range of Mordor and arrived in the safe territory of Gondor.

Chapter 1741 meets Gandalf again

The defenders of Osgilius opened the door to accept the refugees who had escaped from Mordor. The news of the fall of Minas Ihir surprised them. These defenders had never expected that such a strong city would fall into the hands of Mordor, not to mention the news of the reappearance of the ring spirits. This kind of thing could happen anywhere. It all feels dangerous. Zelin originally thought Osgilias was a city as strong as Minas Ihir. After all, the Gondor people said that it was once their capital. However, after approaching the city, the demon hunter realized that there was a reason why it was called the former country.

Osgilius was left with only broken walls.

Only the outline of the broken city walls and destroyed houses remained. A long bridge across the Anduin River was cut off at the waist, and the waves of the big river slapped with jagged cracks. The debris of the house can still vaguely outline the appearance before the destruction, but most of the broken eaves and walls can only remind people of what a magnificent city once existed here. There are no Gondor people living in Osgilias for a long time. The remaining soldiers transformed the ruins of the city into a bridgehead that can stop any foreign enemy invasion. The reinforced towering ruins become watchtowers and arrow towers. Prevent any enemy from trying to slip across the Anduin River under the guards' eyelids.

The guards used boats to pick up the refugees across the river, immediately prepared food and water for them, and dispatched a rider to ride on the fastest horse to report the fall of Minas Ihir to White City.

"Virginia, you should stay here first and rest here for one night." Walking on the gravel and potholes in Osgilias, Zelin said to the mage girl: "I will be back tomorrow soon. See you, or the day after tomorrow."

"What are you going to do again?"

"I want to go to Baicheng as soon as possible." Zelin couldn't help but put a touch of urgency on his face. "The defenders of Osgilius can only defend this bridgehead, and without the order of the regent, they cannot leave their duties without authorization. So I plan to go to Baicheng overnight. If there are no problems on the road, I can arrive before sunset. At that time, the regent should have received a messenger sent by the defenders here, and I want to meet him before he announces that the gate of the king’s city will be closed. If I make a decision one day earlier, I will be able to settle an issue one day earlier.”

Mordone is full of crises. Whether it is the Norns, the exiles of Udon, or the defeated and captured Gondor, the danger they face will increase every day.

Shiluo seems to be helping the people in Mordor. Zelin doesn’t know Shiluo’s reason for letting her do this. He is very happy that Shiluo can send spiders to help when Virginia is in trouble. If he sees again When she arrived, as long as the two parties were not enemies, he would definitely express his gratitude to Shi Luo. But Zelin couldn't pin all his hopes on Shiluo. Compared with Shiluo, he even hoped that Gondor could send soldiers to Mordor.

"No problem."

Virginia nodded, saying nothing. She understood the reason why the demon hunter made such an arrangement. It obviously didn't make much sense to bring her to see the regent. Rather than jolting on horseback for a few hours, she might as well take a break in Osgilius, and said Uncertain, they will go deep into Mordor again next to rescue the others trapped inside. Virginia did not want to return to that dangerous place, but she also understood that if the matter here was not resolved, Zelin would probably not choose to leave. It is obviously impossible for him to stand on the sidelines of something that can lend a hand, just like when he was in Winterhold, he could have left directly, but he chose to stay and help Winterhold Academy and Virgenia once.

After a short rest, the demon hunter asked the local defenders for a mount. He still remembered the misunderstanding he encountered after riding the ghost horse into Lorraine Woodland, and he couldn't make the same mistake a second time. In response to Zelin's request, the Gondor garrison was happy to provide a mount for a ranger fighting against Mordor.

Osgilias is not too far away from the White City. It is said that standing at the top of the White City, you can clearly see the outline of Osgilias and the shadowy mountains in the distance. The Perano Plain between the two cities is the richest piece of land outside Gondor. On the broad land, there are scattered orchards and farms. Each private farm has fences and barns. Farms The farmers inside are standing by the fence, watching the rider rushing out of Osgilius, curiously and worriedly watching the messenger heading to the White City, the dense shadows on the Shadow Mountains seem to have brought disaster in advance. Omen.

On the east side of the Perano Plain is a towering mountain range. In the afterglow of the setting sun, the white mountain range contains purple-black shadows, and the steep rock walls gradually fade into darkness with the sky. At the foot of the mountain stretched out, there is a solid city. Seven-layered, hard-to-attack city walls surrounded the city, stepping up to the top of the mountain. The highest place of each ring of the city wall is exactly the bottom of the next city wall. The strong and white walls make people think that this is a spectacle that some more powerful force has dug directly from the mountains, and it is like a flawless jade sculpture facing the darkness of Mordor not far away.

The sky was not yet completely dark, and the heavy iron gate over five meters high was still open, and citizens and farmers outside the city came and went in and out. The demon hunter rode a horse, rolled over and dismounted at a distance of 50 meters from the city, and then took the reins towards the city.

"Where are you from, the man with the sword in front of him?"

A man dressed as a guard walked out of the city gate and faced the demon hunter.

"I'm from Minas Ihir."

"You bring Mordor's message?"

"Yes, there is news from Mordor, a warning."

A passing citizen stopped and looked at the demon hunter curiously. However, Zelin didn't care. It was meaningless to conceal the news of Minas Ihir. I am afraid that after a while, people on this land will know that all human strongholds outside of Mordor have been destroyed. Ready to move, always preparing to cross the Shadow Mountains and spread the power of the Dark Lord to other places.

"We have been waiting for you here for half a day."

Suddenly, beside the soldier in the cloak, Zelin heard a familiar voice. The gray-haired wizard walked out from behind the soldier, holding his wand.

"When I saw the messenger of Osgilius rushing into Dinese's palace anxiously, I knew that soon someone would come to Minas Tirith with news of Mordor."

"Gandalf?"

"It's me, Zelin," said the gray-robed wizard, with a gentle smile on his wrinkled face. "I hope I came in time."

The first thousand and forty-two chapters meet the regent

"Gandalf."

Seeing the gray-robed wizard's amiable but wise smile, Zelin dropped his shoulders, sighed, and then chuckled lightly. "I was just thinking about where to find you."

"I should have arrived a few days earlier, but I was delayed on the road. Orcs appeared near the mouth of Eisin. They crossed the mouth of the river and attacked a ranch in the Luo Khanate. King Haydon hoped that I could figure it out. Why did the group of orcs suddenly cross the mouth of the Aixin River?" Gandalf said, with a trace of worry in his eyes. "After investigation, I believe that my decision to let you go to Mordor to check the situation is correct. The orcs in Mordor are re-repairing the pass opposite the Aixin Pass and planted their flags in the pass. I suspect, the Dark Demon. You may be preparing a new plan. So I originally planned to go to the Shire first, but after I walked halfway, I decided to come to Gondor as soon as possible. The real threat is here."
