Chapter 1207 Attack
A few days later, they had traversed the entire wasteland, climbed over several mountains, circled countless lakes, passed by Bei Rong's manor in the middle, and spent the night there.
You don't have to worry about supplies, you can eat fragrant and hot delicacies every day, there is no orc army to chase and kill, you don't have to worry about where there will be danger, the journey becomes extra relaxed and comfortable. It's like a long journey.
Baggins no longer had the slump he had when he came, and he no longer had the listlessness caused by poor food and lodging all day.
Until they crossed the mountain pass, Baggins, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, and the horse neighed.
"Mr. Ain, the road ahead is broken." He shouted, glanced around again, and added, "This seems to be the place where we walked that thunderstorm night."
Anyang stepped forward and saw an abyss in front of him, and the mountain path was cut off abruptly. The surrounding mountains and rocks were in a mess, as if there had been a huge earthquake, which was obviously caused by the battle between the stone giants who were awakened by Lei Ye.
"We can't get through." Baggins said, but he didn't worry, but turned around to look around, "The Great Mountain Pass is the main road connecting the two sides of China and Earth, there must be other ways. If it doesn't work, we can change the direction. Go around."
"It's okay," Anyang said.
"Um?"
The hobbit was stunned for a moment when he heard a rumbling from the ground, and he dared to look down.
"hiss!"
His eyes widened in surprise, and he refused to let go of every detail of this spectacular scene! He vowed to write every memorable scene along the way into the book - just like the boulders under the abyss are now floating in the sky one by one, flying to them in the blink of an eye, and connecting them one by one in an instant It will be integrated!
A suspended bridge made of stone connects the two sides of the abyss impressively. It is about two meters wide and several hundred meters long. There is no support in the middle, which makes people feel weak.
"Ai... Mr. Ain, we... we're going to cross this bridge? It won't break, will it?"
"move."
Anyang has led the horse to the bridge first. The strange thing is that the horse is not panic or panic, and follows him very tamely and walks up the bridge, going farther and farther.
Baggins gritted his teeth and followed.
****************
Leafy forest.
Finlun rushed towards the Woodland Kingdom, shouting at the same time, "Open the door, open the door, and report something."
The elf guard at the gate recognized the king's guard and quickly opened the door to let him in.
Fenlun rushed to the city gate, turned over and dismounted, and ran into the kingdom with almost no pause. The metal armor made a light and coherent sound, and the footsteps were slightly heavy.
Before long, he ran to the throne and bowed to Thranduil: "Your Majesty!"
"You're panicking, Fenron," Thranduil said in a deep voice, and then asked, "Could it be that the monsters that attacked the patrol a few days ago have appeared again? How many are they coming this time? Our patrol and How about the guard casualties?"
"Two, this time there are two, and two different monsters." Fenren paused, "but Legolas and Lord Tariel are both here, they lead the most elite troops, and we paid three casualties. The price of man defeated them, and successfully killed one of them, and the other, which was smaller, could fly, and was escaped by it!"
"What!" Thrandil suddenly stood up from the throne, his face full of surprise, "Where is its body?"
"The follow-up troops are bringing back its corpse, and Lord Legolas asked me to report back first."
"Go to the gate."
Thrandil suddenly walked towards the gate.
Walking on the road, his face was already gloomy.
Legolas is his son, and Tariel is also the best elf warrior in the kingdom. They also lead the most elite troops. The original responsibility of this team was to hunt down giant spiders, but they didn't expect to face only one giant. A little or two monsters can't be defeated without it! Three people were injured or killed, and this price is not light for an elves whose lives are almost eternal but their ability to reproduce is extremely low!
Such creatures are indeed too powerful, and now they only appear occasionally. If it is true that as Ain said, they invaded Middle-earth on a large scale, then who can stop it?
catastrophe! !
When they came to the gate, they happened to meet the transport troops. They used two horses to drag a cart. On the cart lay a huge hideous monster and a seriously injured elf.
Thrandil immediately rushed up, glanced at the female elf first, and then looked at the monster.
Soon, he looked back and said to the people behind him, "Take her to treatment, be careful!"
The two guards came out immediately.
Legolas glanced back at the gasping companion, with a sad expression on his face, but his tone was calm: "She was pierced by the monster's forelimb, and her internal organs were ruptured, we should let her have no pain now. After the last leg, use diced grass, so that she can feel no pain, and then notify her family to come over."
"...Yes." The two guards hesitated, nodded in agreement, and carried the elf into the city gate.
When passing by Thranduil, he heard the female elf who had been pronounced dead muttering something in a low voice, and he immediately caught the key word.
"Stop!" he called to the guard.
Then he stared at the visibly delirious female warrior, as if all that was left was the desire to survive. I saw her eyes staring blankly at the obscured sky above her head, her mouth opening and closing, but unfortunately those words were intermittent, perhaps even she herself could not organize the language well, and her voice was almost inaudible.
But Thranduil still heard, heard.
"Red Sun... God of Origin... I beseech you to grant me... blessing... I beseech you to grant... hope..."
"Ai... Kofinori..."
"Can you... hear..."
Thranduil felt his mouth dry for a moment.
If they were always in peace, the lifespan of elves would allow them to live as long as they didn't want to. Moreover, she is a member of his clan, a warrior who fought for him, and a little girl who has never experienced anything in the world.
He felt powerless in his heart, but his face remained indifferent. He waved his hand and signaled the guard to take the woman down.
But suddenly, he heard the guard's exclamation.
Thranduil hurriedly turned around and looked back. Legolas, Tariel, and the other elves of the hunting troop also looked behind the king, only to see that the female elf warrior on the stretcher had a faint light coming out. The light white brilliance - that brilliance is holy and pure, makes people feel solemn and dare not blaspheme, and makes people feel warm and peaceful.
"What is this?" Legolas opened his eyes.
The others were almost surprised, staring blankly at the elf on the stretcher, not knowing what was going on.
Only after a brief moment of surprise, Thranduil narrowed his eyes slightly. He stood in trance for a long time and seemed to be thinking about something. After he made up his mind, he said, "She just called the name of the God of Origin."
The elf hunting troop was in an uproar, and even Legolas and Tariel were surprised.
Thranduil said in a deep voice again: "What are you doing here, hurry up and take her down for treatment! ... As for whether it can be cured, it depends on the god!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After the guards carried the female elf away, Thranduil asked someone to bring the other two less seriously injured elves to bandage treatment, and then looked at the monster corpse on the scooter——
The size of this monster can fully support it to hunt large animals such as rhinoceros, elephants, or ferocious natural overlords such as tigers and lions. From its hard and thick carapace and weapons, it is not difficult to see that its fighting ability is far more than in this way! At the same time, the Woodland Kingdom also confirmed its horror with the heavy losses of the patrol team a few days ago and the casualties of the hunting team today!
It looks like a giant insect that has been enlarged by evil magic, but it is difficult to see such a hideous insect. The giant spider that once spread throughout the forest is simply harmless to humans and animals.
There are many arrows stuck in its body, covering almost every part of its body, back, abdomen, head, tail... The strong bows of the elves shot through its carapace, but they didn't penetrate deeply. There are also melee weapons that cut off its legs, leaving knife marks on its face. I don't know where the fatal wound is, but this can already explain the strength of its vitality.
"Insect..." Thranduil narrowed his eyes and looked at Legolas again, "Tell me about the detailed process!"
Legolas turned to look at Tariel.
Tariel stood up and said: "Since the patrol team was attacked by giant monsters a few days ago, we have strengthened our defenses and patrols again. When I took people through the forest stream this morning, I saw blood and some eaten on the ground. The remaining wild sheep scraps, except for the horns and hooves on the head, the big guy ate all the bones and skins! So I stepped up patrols in that place."
"At noon today, Linka heard movement in the woods, and found it when he went to investigate! And another guy appeared when we were fighting with it. It's not the same as this guy, but it opened up to us as soon as he appeared. The attack, apparently with this guy."
"That bug is smaller..."
"They are all very fast, one can climb vertically, the other has wings, and can launch deadly attacks silently... The battle is like a violent storm... When they are lost, they can quickly withdraw from the battlefield, If Legolas hadn't cut off its feet, we probably wouldn't have been able to keep it..."
When Tariel finished speaking, he stood there and looked at Thranduil, only to feel that the king's face was extremely solemn.
"You're talking about... a reconnaissance unit!" Thranduil said yes.
Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, but after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed the case. This little giant worm has extremely fast travel speed and powerful raiding ability, and it can also hide itself. Its combat power is not weak.
"Gollum!"
They collectively swallowed.
And Thranduil said: "Inform the king under the mountain, Tariel, go and tell him everything that happened here, and take one of this worm's foot!"
Saying that, he pulled out the matching sword with a slam, and chopped off one of the giant insect's legs with just one wave!
"Look at those kings, can you believe it or not!"
He murmured in a low voice.
