Chapter 125
Chapter 125
In order to hand over the precious Lord of the Rings smoothly without attracting the attention of the sanctuary rangers, the location Neil chose to camp at the beginning is roughly equivalent to the midpoint of the connecting line between Kyle Andros and Hannas Annan Sanctuary, which is more southerly. Location.
And in order to deceive everyone in the team, Neil has always used the name of trading with the Sanctuary Ranger.
Therefore, even though they encountered orcs and rangers one after another and fought fiercely, Hardion and Annis did not connect their situation with the threat in Mordor.
And based on the consensus that Thranduil should recover as soon as possible before leaving Ithilien, they only considered the conditions of comfort and concealment when changing camps.
Because they did not anticipate the current situation, the new camp where Lucius and the others finally settled was actually closer to the Black Gate and Hannas Annan than the camp where Neil was killed.
Now, this initial negligence has become a rather fatal factor.
"Assuming that the moving speed is the same, it will take more than two days to reach us from the Black Gate, and it will take one and a half days to reach Osgiliath from us." Harden said as he spoke. , while gesturing on the map in Lucius' hand.
They pack things really fast.It was nearly noon when Lucius gave the warning, and the sun wasn't much wester when they set off from camp.Even now, Hardion and Annis still can't quite understand the reason why Lucius suddenly asked everyone to leave for Gondor as soon as possible.
"If they had only arrived from the Black Gate last night, we would still have a day and a half to two days before the encounter." Annis interjected next to him.
"I don't think it's optimistic." Harden paused, looking at Lucius and the flying carpet controlled by him, "Our moving speed is too slow!"
The speed at which a team moves is not determined by who is the strongest among them.It stands to reason that if the four elves have normal movement speed, they can reach the gate of Gondor before the orcs arrive.Hadien, who was the commander of the imperial guards, and Annis, who was the commander of the army, naturally possessed such abilities.
But Thranduil could barely sit up with support when they left camp.Therefore, the movement of the Elf King still relies on Lucius' magic flying carpet.
It's just that although this flying carpet is a luxury product with both bearing capacity and comfort, it is not good at speed at all.Even on the basis of the maximum magic power output, the limit speed of the flying carpet is only slightly faster than the state of human brisk walking.What's more, apart from the injured Thranduil, Lucius' movement speed is also one of the team's shortcomings at this time.
If the wizard's ability to apparate and use the broomstick is deprived, the wizard's mobility is probably inferior to that of ordinary human fighters.
"The two-day gap between the orcs is just an ideal situation. In fact, their pursuers may have left the black gate before last night." Lucius shook his head, pointing out that another situation was even worse. "Then the gap between us may even be as small as half a day."
"Perhaps we can consider changing the route and approaching the direction of Kyle Andros or Hannas Annan for help." Ha Dien then suggested, "If it is these two places, at our current speed, it is probably also It doesn't take a day to…”
"No. We must enter Gondor without disturbing any high-level human beings as much as possible, and then notify Galian in the shortest possible time." Lucius rejected Hadien's proposal without hesitation.
The source of the Lord of the Rings has been determined to be the wizard named Saruman. Naturally, Lucius who knew about it could not let Thranduil take the initiative to send it to the door of this wizard who might have betrayed the camp of light. , whether it is the royal family of Rohan or the high-level officials of Gondor, they all have a very close relationship with Saruman, "You can only go to Osgiliath."
Hadien's words were interrupted by Lucius. He was obviously taken aback, showing a puzzled look, and finally asked: "Why are we leaving now? There may not necessarily be a chase."
Hearing this, Lucius was silent for a while, and glanced at Thranduil who was completely covered by a black cloak.
The cloak is naturally from Lucius' inventory, and like the flying carpet, it is of high quality.Not only does it have an excellent feel, but it also has the most advanced concealment spell.And the reason why Thranduil was covered with this cloak was naturally to obtain the effect that a trace of magic could block the sight of darkness.
"According to my speculation, they are likely to hunt down His Majesty according to the order." Lucius replied in a low voice.
"Are they going to chase His Majesty?" Hadien repeated in surprise.However, without waiting for an answer, he himself suddenly realized more important information, and took a breath, "Instructions? Whose instructions?"
Lucius didn't answer, but the answer was obvious.
When Hardion and Annis realized the real hidden source of murder behind the incident, they couldn't help showing deep fear.
There was nowhere to turn for help, and no way to increase speed.In front of Lucius and the others was a dead end with almost no life.
Harden and Annis didn't dare to hope that the luck in their hearts would come true, and they hurried forward in silence, wishing that their walking could increase the speed of the flying carpet.
However, before it got dark, the warning for the orcs approaching was sounded.The quickest to sense the approaching danger was Lucius, who had left a warning spell on the traces of their hastily concealed camp.
"The spell on the camp has been touched." Lucius clenched his wand instantly.
"Can you know their number?" Annis asked quickly.
But the wizard just shook his head helplessly: "I can only feel being touched, but it is impossible to see the situation that far away."
"We've only been away for less than half a day." Hadien said with a frown, "If it's not been a whole day since we encountered the battle last night, they came too fast!"
"This can only mean that our situation is worse than I expected." Lucius said in a deep voice, "If these half-orcs crossed the cordon when the main ranger left the shelter, they probably It was not discovered by the Ranger."
"Can we choose to go back and get rid of them?" Annis suggested.
"If those are indeed half-orcs, the battle is definitely inevitable, but if we just look back like this, we don't know the strength of the enemy at all." Lucius immediately shook his head and vetoed.
"If you protect His Majesty to hide, and Annis and I turn around and go back to ambush, there may be a chance." Hadien immediately suggested.
"If there are as many enemies as you encountered last night, do you really think you can escape?" Lucius denied again, and said the most objective speculation, "If the situation exceeds expectations, you will fall under the attack of orcs Even if it delays the time for the half-orcs to catch up, I can't escape far with His Majesty alone."
"Then what else can we do?" Annis punched anxiously, seeing that there was no way to keep calm anymore.
"No matter what," Harden pinched his weapon, his tone tinged with determination, "We must send His Majesty back to the kingdom safely."
"Have you encountered similar situations before, and have you used any coping methods?" Lucius did not give up thinking about ways to break through.
"This kind of situation is too rare, and the most serious one is like what happened in River Valley City before. If you can't escape, the only way to think is to defend the ground and fight to the death." Annis quickly replied, "But we can't let Your Majesty into such danger."
"It's impossible for us to find a ground we can hold on to right now." Hadien continued, "If the encounter is on flat ground, if half orcs have bows and arrows, we won't be able to withstand the attack at all."
"If this group of half-orcs left Mordor before the rangers wiped out those half-orcs before, their fighting ability will certainly not be weaker than that of the previous team." Lucius said firmly, "By the way, just Just now, the first trap I left was also triggered, and they have already discovered the traces of our departure."
"How is the effect of your traps, can you get some more?" Harden asked anxiously.
"A trap without control is like a body without a soul. It can only cause them a little trouble, and a trap without time will not have much effect." Lucius said coldly, while looking at He began to turn around, "But you reminded me, if we can find a suitable terrain and start setting up traps in advance, at least we can increase our chances of winning."
"What kind of terrain do you want?" Annis asked quickly, "I'll go out and find it now!"

The goblin, sniffing out the unmistakable elf scent, was not deterred by a few traps on the road that only gave off a few sparks.Abandoning several seriously injured burdens, a team of fifty half-orcs quickly locked the direction of the prey's departure.
The messy and obvious traces indicated the situation where the prey had no way out. After seeing an obvious figure from behind, the half-orc who had been chasing it non-stop for nearly a day let out howls of excitement and rage one after another.The loud voice made the flimsy figure fleeing ahead even more panicked.He staggered, and quickly hid in the half-collapsed old abandoned house not far ahead.
The half-orc didn't think much of it and directly accelerated towards the direction of the target.The half-orc standing in the back row took out the bow and arrow he carried with him, and the first wave of arrow feathers shot at the old house without hesitation, and the battle was imminent.
