The Journey of the Demon Hunter

Chapter 982

"Well, let's go now... wait!"

Ze Lin suddenly drew out the ebony blade and stared at the bushes not far away vigilantly. Low bushes can be seen everywhere on the prairie hills of Norn.

"Who is where?" Zelin narrowed his eyes slightly. "I heard you, come out!"

Chapter 1702 The Bad News of Norn

The grassland of Nuoen is quiet.

The wind blowing from Barano in the north has faded the heat from the Doomsday Volcano here, and the cold wind blowing is like the baton of an orchestra, and the grass sways neatly under the caress.

"Come out." Zelin held up his sword, pointed at the bush. "I saw you. You are not an orc. If you are not Sauron's servant, there is no need to hide in front of me."

A cricket landed on a green leaf and stroked the tentacles on his forehead. The bush shook and the cricket jumped and disappeared into the grass.

"Sauron's servants are not the only ones who need to be vigilant in Mordor." The woman holding the dagger stood up slowly. She wore a leather armor, and her blond hair in many small braids hung over her shoulders. The woman moved cautiously, staring at the sword in the hands of the demon hunter. "People who can say such things are not necessarily friendly and good people."

"Well, I agree with this." Zelin lowered his hand and lowered the blade. "Maybe you can let the people hiding in several other places come out together? I don't like to be pointed at the back with a bow and arrow from the dark when I am chatting with the person in front of me. No, no one will like it."

"A little protective measure." The female soldier walked around to the side of the demon hunter and carefully looked at the stranger who had entered here. "Who are you? Where are you from? What are you going to do?"

"Can you tell me which one to answer first? Maybe you can show me how to say three sentences with one mouth at the same time?"

"Who are you!" She raised her sword abruptly, and the tip of the sword reached a place less than five centimeters from the neck of the demon hunter. "Don't think you can pass the level, don't think about delaying time, you are not a Norn, there is no lack of humans among the followers of the Dark Lord. A human with eyes similar to an orc, no dark creatures appear in Barano. Surprised me."

"Okay." Zelin raised his hand and signaled that he was not malicious, and his **** clamped the tip of the sword and gently moved it away. "You should learn from the rangers of the Black Gate, they will not be as irritable as you. Yes, I am from the Black Gate, I bring news from the Black Gate, and I **** a person back to Norn, there may be some of you Recognize..."

When the female soldier looked over the shoulder of the demon hunter and saw Marvin who was sitting on the rock behind, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"Mother?!"

Zelin took a deep breath, and it seemed that the problem was resolved peacefully.

The female warrior did not continue to care about the Demon Hunter. She walked past Zelin, ran to Marvin, sat sideways in front of her, and held Marvin's hand. "Mother, are you back?!"

"Lisa Riel?" Marvin stretched out her hand trembling, and gently touched her daughter's forehead. "Lisa Riel... I saw you, my daughter..."

Nearby, seven heavily armed soldiers stood up from their hiding place and looked at the leader who had suddenly returned. They looked at each other and looked confused.

"So, I guess you can put down the bows and arrows in your hands, right?" Zelin spread his hands, and several fighters looked at each other and lowered their bows and arrows. "Is your camp nearby?"

Escorting Marvin was much better than Zelin expected.

With the help of several Norn warriors, they then proceeded along a path that could avoid the orc settlements. Their current leader, Marvin's daughter Lisa Riel, helped her mother and kept asking what happened on the road. However, after noticing that her mother's health was impaired, she stopped asking, and turned the question to Zelin.

"I guess she may have contracted a disease on the way to Isengard. Your mother had already become this look when I was in Isengard." Seeing the doubts flashing in Lisa Riel's eyes, Ze Lin raised his hand. "Don't ask me if I have any evidence. I can tell you that no one except the white-robed wizard Saruman can prove my words. They either escaped during the attack or turned into corpses on the grassland. On the way , Her condition is constantly deteriorating."

"No, I didn't doubt you. I just couldn't believe that my mother would actually get sick from the exhaustion of the journey. Before leaving Norn, she was healthy enough to kill orcs with her own hands. But that's not a problem. We have some herbs and should be able to kill them. Suppress the condition." Lisa Riel shook her head and wiped the corners of her eyes. "You escorted my mother back. I thank you very much. When the orcs were attacking the castle, they brought a walking stick belonging to my mother, and threw the stick and a corpse across the city wall with a trebuchet. At that time, I thought... the orcs were as usual. Cunning."

But in Lisa Riel's words, Zelin heard another meaning.

"Have the orcs attacked Norn's castle?"

Lisa Riel was silent for a while, she turned her head and looked at Marvin, who was struggling with difficulty behind her, who was being supported by several guards, worried.

"They have done it, and... succeeded."

"What?"

"Seven days ago, the orcs used a trebuchet to destroy the city wall. I can only command some people to escape from the dock by boat." Lisa Riel's tone was heavy. If Zelin's previous understanding of Norn was correct, they would lose. Is the last town. "They grabbed my people and threw them in the cage. I got news that the orcs will trade with the Harads in Solband these days, so they brought people to investigate the situation."

"The result?"

"The defense here is lax, but the number of orcs is too large, and we are short of manpower. We must find a new way and wait for the opportunity... Wait!" Lisa Riel suddenly raised her fist, and the soldiers behind her immediately squatted down and hid. In the grass.

The wind blew gently, bringing the smell of rotten flesh.

Not far away, on a road between two hills, a convoy of orcs moved forward slowly. The Norn soldiers stared at the approaching convoy warily, eyes flashing with anger. Lisa Riel's raised fist did not make any other movements, so the soldiers could only wait, watching the convoy gradually leave their sight.

Until the orc disappeared, and after confirming that no other convoy was following, Lisa Riel waved her hand, and the hidden soldier stood up again and continued to move forward.

"That team is fragile."

Looking towards the direction where the orc convoy was leaving, Zelin said casually. "Your soldiers can solve the enemy before they don't react."

"This will also expose our existence. The orcs think we are all dead in the fortress or caught, but the people we withdrew are all in the mountains east of Norn. When the right opportunity comes, we can stay in Norn. The orcs on the ground were shocked!"

"How many of you are left?"

"...More than two hundred people."

"Only these?"

"In the past we had more, but..." Lisa Riel wanted to explain something, but finally shook her head. Any words are pale and weak in the face of cruel reality. They were defeated by the orcs, and only the remnants of defeat will linger. "But we have the next plan. If we can conquer Solband and free the slaves in it, we might be able to retake the castle, and then the entire Norn."

"Good idea."

"And you escorted your mother back. Although she is ill, she may be too tired on the road, as long as she can recover after a proper rest. During this period of time, terrible things continue one after another. I am very grateful that you can bring us good news. "Although she said so, Lisa Riel still didn't see much relief on her face.

But Zelin didn't think anyone could relax at this time.

He thought he could come here early to warn the Norn, but now it seems that he was a step late. Before attacking the Black Gate, the orcs had already launched an offensive against Norn. If the Black Gate is broken and the city of Norn falls, the orc army seems to have taken the entire Mordor. He must find a way to tell Gandalf about this, that Mordor's situation is worse than everyone expected. When people outside of Mordor knew nothing about it, the orcs almost completed the unification of Mordor.

What will they do next?

Zelin couldn't help but guess in his heart.

The Norns know how to avoid the orcs. They have been fighting this enemy for many years. The demon hunter helps him find the enemy in the night through the mutant eyes, but the experience of the Norns can play a better role, especially when Zelin first arrived. Time.

When night fell, the orcs in the Norn area became more active. Standing on the hills, you could see the moving lights on the plain below. Orc forces are hunting, capturing ghouls, or clashes between tribal captains under the leadership of their chief. Peace has never existed in the dictionary of orcs. There are no foreign enemies, and they will continue to fight each other. Betrayal and assassination are the best ways for an orc to become a chief. In addition to dying in battle, the life of an orc is He was hanged on the railing after failing to compete for the position of the chief.

After bypassing the hills and grasslands, the gentle terrain became more tortuous. There were towering mountains nearby. Some orc camps were located on the hillside not far away, but Lisa Riel led them along a trail to avoid. The eyes of all the orcs were lost.

"It's here."

When Lisa Riel stopped, Zelin found him standing in front of a valley. The narrow entrance of the valley was lush with verdant vines hanging down, and the emerald wall climbing tiger gently swayed with the night breeze. . An iron fence door was hidden among the green leafy vines. Lisa Riel walked over, took out the key to unlock the lock, and opened the door.

"Now, help the queen to rest, Norris, go to the doctor and hurry up!" She turned around and ordered the others. The soldiers filed in from him, and when they all walked in, Lisa Riel made a please gesture to Zelin. "It stands to reason that we should welcome you in the widest hall of the castle. Unfortunately, we don’t have much left in our hands. Anyway, thank you for your help and welcome to Noon."

Chapter 1703: PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

Behind the valley is a village.

Zelin was walking on the muddy road, and the people in the village raised their heads and looked curiously at the outsiders who appeared suddenly, and at the heavily armed demon hunters, but soon they lowered their heads to do what they had at hand.

After returning to the village, everyone was busy rescuing their dying queen, only to throw Zelin aside. The guards didn't stop him from going anywhere, so Zelin chose to walk around the village to check the situation here.

There are more than 30 thatched houses in the valley, and more than a dozen villagers are strengthening the middle wooden house. This made Zelin subconsciously think of what he looked like when he had just arrived in the winter fort when he was in the sky, the dilapidated houses, the rudimentary administrative center, the people who had experienced a disaster, the tired and desperate people, and the listless soldiers. Zelin thought that Norn’s soldiers were as well-equipped and well-trained as those around Lisa Riel. But now it seems that she may have brought all the soldiers who can keep fighting under difficult conditions. Unlike Winter Fort, the residents there can choose to live in other places, go to Xueman, or go to the east, but where can the people of Nuo go?
