Chapter 625: Forest Encounter
Soon, Luo Zhi returned to the Fellowship of the Ring.
Because the Reincarnator killed the Balrog, this time, Gandalf and the Balrog did not die together. No one in the Fellowship of the Ring died and they escaped safely from the mines of Moria.
Everyone was very happy about Luo Zhi's return, but because Luo Zhi was not there when the Balrog appeared before, some people had some opinions about Luo Zhi.
The dwarf Jinli was a straight-tempered guy, and even made an angry expression in front of Luo Zhi, expressing that he did not want to talk to him.
Others are not as direct, but the meaning is similar.
Only Gandalf, Maia, whose favorability he had raised to 84%, still maintained his original kindness and asked: "Why were you away for so long before?"
Luo Zhidao: "Something happened."
It was obvious that he didn't want to say more, so Gandalf didn't ask any more questions.
Everyone marched eastward and soon came to another kingdom of elves. The king here is Galadriel, the strongest and oldest elf in Middle-earth. She controls the power of the Ring of Water.
Because Gandalf is alive and well now, but Sauron has lost his soul, the strength of the Fellowship of the Ring far exceeds that of this period in the original work, so almost everything that happened here in the original work has not happened now.
All of them rested here for a night. The next day, Galadriel gave each of them an elven cloak, which was almost as effective as the armor Elrond had given before.
She also prepared a small boat for them to continue their journey along the Anduin River.
At the same time, because he left the mine and lost the torment of the mountain, Saruman could clearly see the situation of the Fellowship of the Ring through his crows.
He immediately adjusted the team he sent so that the team's route was exactly opposite to the route of the Fellowship of the Ring.
Crows were watching from above, and troops were chasing from below. Soon, the two met.
It was a dark and windy night. In a forest, everyone was resting. The weaker ones, such as Frodo and other hobbits, were all sleeping.
Although the others were not sleeping, they were leaning against the trees and resting with their eyes closed.
Suddenly, a dazzling blue light appeared, and everyone immediately opened their eyes. When they saw it, it was Frodo's dagger that shone brightly.
As mentioned before, this dagger has the ability to detect hostility. Obviously, there are a large number of hostile people approaching.
As an archer, the elf prince Legolas had superb eyesight. He immediately stepped on the tree and jumped to the top of a big tree as if flying.
Looking into the distance by the moonlight and starlight, he soon saw that about a mile away, there were more than two hundred ferocious-looking orcs, wearing armor and holding bows and arrows, running towards him quickly.
"Be careful, there are a large number of orcs approaching."
In fact, without him having to say anything, the reincarnators had already noticed the traces in the distance.
Half-orc, this term is not very accurate.
Orcs are a species created by Melkor. They are ferocious in appearance and powerful, and are generally around the third level.
However, Saruman is indeed a Maia who specializes in crafts and chemistry. Through his own methods, he has cultivated a life form that is more powerful than the orcs, that is to say, the orcs.
The strength of strong orcs is stronger than that of half-orcs, and they are generally at the fourth level.
However, the orc soldiers who can be favored by Saruman and come to complete the important task of snatching the Lord of the Rings are naturally the elite among the elite, and their strength far exceeds that of ordinary orcs.
There are 220 enemies invading tonight, including 200 half-orcs with strength ranging from late fourth level to fourth level extreme, 20 powerful orcs, all of which are fifth level, and two mid-level fifth level, extremely powerful.
If it were the Fellowship of the Ring in the original plot, facing such a lineup, the only option would be to escape.
However, now that Gandalf is not dead and four more reincarnations have joined him, they are capable of fighting.
After hearing Legolas' information, Gandalf quickly made a choice.
"Shallan, Aragorn, Zeus, you are responsible for covering Frodo and the others' escape. The others will follow me."
This choice makes perfect sense.
The identity prop used by Shallan is now a relative of Frodo, and Aragorn is Gandalf's former good friend and trusts him very much. As for Luo Zhi, he still has a favorability score of 84%, plus the previous hand
It is natural that Gandalf's level of trust in holding the Lord's Ring is not low.
As for other people, in his heart Gandalf didn't believe that much.
As the most authoritative person in the team, no one else had objections to Gandalf's decision. Shallan and Aragorn immediately fled with the four hobbits.
Luo Zhi slowed down a little and said to Gandalf: "Be careful, I will give you some protection."
Saying that, he used the power of the ironwood fruit.
Ironwood Fruit, Wood Release, Marching Defense Technique!
In an instant, the earth shook, and countless logs grew out of the ground, forming a small military stronghold. Outside the military stronghold, there were all kinds of military facilities such as horses, caltrops, and trenches.
Within the military stronghold, there were also rolling logs, logs, and countless arrows.
Although everything is made of wood, its hardness is no weaker than real steel.
Gandalf and others were stunned when they saw it.
You...
What I originally thought was a small team encounter in the forest, didn't expect that it turned into a siege in the blink of an eye.
They were small in number. After Luo Zhi and others were dispatched, there were only 6 people left. Facing a team of more than 200 people, having a military stronghold to help them was obviously better than dealing with them empty-handed in the forest.
Legolas first jumped from the tree to the wall of the military stronghold, and then climbed up the stairs to the watchtower. He said with satisfaction: "As long as this military stronghold does not fall and the enemies do not escape, I can kill them all by myself."
!”
Jin Li refused to accept it, jumped up on the city wall, and said: "Before you kill them all, my ax will annihilate them all!"
Gandalf also smiled and said: "Thank you, you should also be careful!"
Luo Zhi nodded, turned around and caught up with Aragorn and others.
Although half-orcs and strong orcs are powerful, they basically fight based on their own attributes. They don't have any skills, let alone perceive the situation.
They crossed this mile and saw the figures of Gandalf and others, and rushed over directly.
As a result, I bumped into those thorns.
Tribulus is an item with four spikes in different directions. No matter how it is thrown, three spikes will face the ground and one spike will point upward. It is an item specially designed to deal with cavalry.
However, the horses still had a hoof, but the orcs didn't even have shoes, so they stepped on the thorns with their bare feet.
The tribulus made by Luo Zhi, even if their strength has reached the fourth or fifth level, will still pierce the soles of their feet if they accidentally step on it.
Suddenly, countless screams resounded through the forest.
Even before the orc army entered the battlefield, all of them were already injured.
This has a huge impact on morale.
