"I know, I know." Zelin bent down and picked up the sword that he had just thrown away. Yaxie Fayin can create some small hallucinations and mislead. He thought that he should be able to make Hammer stunned, but the effect was much better than he expected. Perhaps Hammer's own spirit is very unstable, allowing his tricks to succeed. "You are a ghost, uh, I don't know if it will offend you to say this, but I don't mean anything else, I want to say, why did you come here, when it happened?"

"Let me explain to you."

This time, Zelin knew the owner of this voice.

He turned around, looked at the slim figure leaping from the top of the tower, and raised his eyebrows. "Alteril?"

The elf assassin fell steadily to the ground. She stood up, walked towards Zelin and Celebrity, and snapped her fingers at the demon hunter. "It's Altarell, not Altarell, you have read it twice."

"Sorry."

The elf assassin threw a sword over, and Zelin reached out to catch it. It was the silver sword he threw outside.

"Thanks a lot."

The demon hunter put the silver sword back on his back again, he looked at Altariel, who was standing next to Celebrity, and looked at the ghost again. "Looks like a long story?"

"I'm good at making a long story short." The elf assassin waved his hand. "I arrived in Mordor ten days earlier than you, and I have been looking for the trail of the ring spirits, but I have not been able to find their whereabouts, so I decided to come to the Black Gate and ask the rangers here for news, but I don’t think I can find them anymore. It's a ranger who can provide information."

Zelin sighed heavily. He walked to Juris. Juris fainted just now. He helped her up and leaned against the wall. "I'm not asking you." Zelin looked at the ghost on the side: "Who is this?"

Altariel was silent for a few seconds, with an incredible expression on his face. "You don't even know who Lord Celebrity is?"

"I remember I heard it. It seems that during a small chat, I heard this name. It is related to Wintergreen County. I can't remember the details. It was before Moria and the orcs fought." Zelin spread out. Hand, if he were a resident of Middle-earth, maybe he would know who Celebrity was. Just like in his world, if anyone doesn't know Foltest, Ladovide and other names, he will be surprised.

"Let me remind you, ring." Altarel stretched out his index finger.

Zelin slapped his hands. "The Ring of Power!?"

He remembered that in Moria, the dwarves had told him about stories that happened in the Holly County west of Moria in the past. Holly County, or the lord of Irejan, Kellebripon, was deceived by Sauron and forged more than a dozen rings of power, while Sauron forged privately the Supreme Ring that could control other rings, and led an army to break through. Irejan, took the remaining ring and killed Celebrity.

"People say you died in Irjan?"

"My memory tells me the same way." Celebrity said without emotion. "But I have a memory that tells me that I didn’t die in Erejan, but came to Mordor. I don’t know what I did in Mordor, there are too many holes in my memory, and I don’t understand why I am Will wake up, I should have left forever instead of being tied to this evil land."

"I met the lord before I arrived at the Black Gate." Altariel continued. "Now, he is attached to me. I will look for the whereabouts of the ring spirit and help the lord to find the lost memory."

There was new footsteps outside the door, and Virginia's figure appeared in front of the door, and then Talion. She glanced at the situation in the hall and noticed the corpse of the black-armored knight on the ground. She immediately ran to the demon hunter. The latter jumped over the corpse in the road, ran to Juris, and took out the bandage he was carrying with him.

"Zelin, are you okay?!"

The mage girl rushed into Zelin's arms, and the demon hunter was hit by her and took a step back. He embraced her and patted Virginia on the back. "Don't worry, I'm fine. I can handle this kind of enemy."

"Are you injured?" She saw Zelin's scorched wristbands, so she immediately touched Zelin's chest, arms and shoulders, trying to see if there were other injuries. "Why don't you tell me in advance what you plan to do, I thought you really wanted to let him go! We got under the city wall, and it took several minutes to realize something was wrong, I thought you were cheated by him. I still have Some herbs can make potions in my room."

Zelin smiled helplessly, and opened his hands. "I'm really not injured, Virginia, and Juris has more severe neck scratches than mine. Actually, he was fooled by me. It's you, Virginia."

He grabbed the Mage girl's wrist and stared straight at her cheek, to be precise, the corner of her mouth. "You have blood on the corners of your mouth?"

Virginia wiped it with her other hand, and a blood stain appeared on the back of her hand: "It's nothing, a little injury. I have taken the healing potion and will be able to recover in a few days."

"Your throat hurt?"

"No, it's just..."

"Your voice."

"I'm just a little tired." The mage girl sighed and shook her wrists away. "Really nothing."

"Don't hold on."

"I know." She nodded. "I know."

"I think I should leave?" Altarel's voice suddenly penetrated, and she leaned her head forward, looking across Zelin and Virginia. "Before this, I can remind you that the orc duel outside the Black Gate is over. They have a new chief and eight flagpoles with challenger corpses. They will know that the rear raid failed at the latest this morning. Then launch an attack."

"Or all escape?" said Tarion, who was supporting Youris. "If this lost human is commanded by all the orcs outside, and we hang this corpse on the wall, the orcs outside will probably retreat. These orcs will not risk attacking a hard pass. If they lose too much, they won't get it. When it's good, other orc tribes will come over and swallow them."

"Perhaps it was possible in the past, but not now, they won't stop." Alta Rylton paused. "Mordor has changed and become more dangerous. The eruption of the Doomsday Volcano has never stopped. The eyes of the Black Evil Tower are staring at this land, driving the orcs like a whip. They will fail, but they will not stop. ."

"In any case." Zelin concluded. "We must regroup and consider what to do next."

"It's you." Altariel corrected. "I want to continue hunting the ring spirits. This is very dangerous. If you see me somewhere, leave as soon as possible. The ring spirits are much more difficult to deal with than this black armored knight. But I can give you a piece of information. If you plan to stay in Mordor, don't go to Serigoste. The orc tribe there has changed. I suspect that the ring spirit is rectifying the orc army."

"So, you are leaving now?"

"Yes." The elf assassin took a deep breath. "There is nothing left here, good luck, human. You have also seen Mordor's situation, leave as soon as possible, you can't handle it here."

After all, Altarel passed by the demon hunter and walked out of the tower gate. Celebrity's figure followed her a few steps forward and disappeared into the air. Watching the elf's figure disappear into the shadow on the city wall, Virginia regained her gaze on Zelin.

"When did she come?"

"I don't know either." Zelin shrugged.

He didn't know exactly what Altarel was thinking, but the elf assassin was right.

They can't wait indifferently for the orcs to retreat here.

"Tarion, we must do something."

The first thousand six hundred and ninety-nine chapters Mordor Brotherhood

Zelin and Talion swept the rest of the black gate together.

The rangers were almost wiped out.

The ranger of the Black Gate, I am afraid that will become history from now on.

Zelin saw that the door was open. Perhaps some people fled and fled into Mordor, but the number was definitely not many. Most of the people died in this raid.

Including Talion’s son Tiher.

They found Tihel's body in the fiercest part of the city wall battle, and several other rangers also died here, with orc corpses five times the size of them lying down beside them. Zelin didn't know how to comfort him. He didn't have a son, but he could feel the grief hidden by Talion, because he had also heard the death of the closest person.

Virginia has been with Youris in the tower, and the pain of losing her child is unbearable.

Standing in the warehouse of the Black Gate, Zelin searched for anything that could be used, mostly diaries and maps left by the rangers after investigating Mordor in the past, as well as descriptions and introductions to the orc tribe. In the eyes of the demon hunter, these orcs are similar, but in the writing of a truly professional ranger, they can judge by the orcs' skin color, armor and decorations, which tribe or Mordor which region they come from. This kind of information is very important to the Demon Hunter, and perhaps he has completed the task assigned by Gandalf to investigate Mordor's situation. But he didn't plan to leave like this, especially after seeing the ranger of the Black Gate being attacked.

There are still many human settlements in Mordor, whether it is the human tribes on the waterfront of the Norne, or the exiles living in the Udun area, or the human mercenaries on the Lislade Plain. Perhaps the latter has a good relationship with the orcs. Orientals often appear in the orcs army as mercenaries, but the human tribes of Udon and Norn may not know anything about the mutations in Mordor. At least until tonight, the rangers who watched Mordor never knew that the orcs would take orders from a black knight who called himself Sauron's Hammer.

Sitting on the wooden box, the demon hunter looked at the ranger's log. There are still a lot of food and war weapons in the warehouse, and Zelin intends to burn them before leaving to prevent them from falling into the hands of the orcs.

After a while, the sound of footsteps outside the warehouse gate removed Zelin's attention from the log. He raised his head and saw Talion walk in step by step. His mouth was tight and there were still tears on his face, but the frost-like gloomy face had already made the tears disappear without a trace. In him, Zelin saw not sadness, but anger, silent and suppressed anger. He opened his mouth, he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

Talion nodded at him.

"There are a few injured, they are very badly injured and can't continue fighting. I plan to ask them to return to Gondor with Youris tomorrow."

Several rangers were still alive. They were separated from others in the melee, or blocked by the orcs in other towers and warehouses until the orcs were defeated. However, they were unable to continue the fight. They discussed to find enough supplies in the Black Gate, and then returned to Gondor as soon as possible and told the Regent Dineser the news of the fall of the Black Gate.
