NOVEL NEXT Chapter 27: Fear
That night.
A large-scale Orc cavalry team set out from the Misty Mountains, bypassed the Valley, passed through the Troll Forest, and rushed to a wilderness.
Wherever they passed, birds flew away in fright and hares fled.
At this time, Levi was still in the Valley. Due to the cover of the forest, the elf scouts watching at the border only found that the Misty Mountains had sent another team.
But since that team entered the Troll Forest, the specific movements have become a mystery.
No one knows what they are going to do or where they are going.
There are countless Orc teams entering and leaving the Misty Mountains every year. This is just one of them, and it has not attracted much attention from the elves.
Besides, they are not coming for the Valley, but rather a bit of a detour.
However, although they did not attract the attention of the elves, when they stepped into the wilderness with great fanfare, they immediately attracted the attention of some figures.
In the wilderness, a ranger looked at the shadows in the distance and felt puzzled.
Perhaps something worth paying attention to is about to happen again.
After traveling day and night, the Orcs arrived at a place with forests, plains and lakes in just a few days.
On this day, the captain of the Orcs jumped onto a boulder and looked up into the distance.
A castle stood at the end of the field of vision, surrounded by a circle of stone walls, and it was impossible to see what was inside.
"We are here."
"Enter the woods, make siege ladders, and launch an attack at night."
The captain gave orders.
The animals inside the wall barked meaninglessly, without feeling the danger coming.
Only the two native horses bought from Bree on the horse farm seemed to have sensed something, constantly crowing and panting, running around restlessly, but this action was destined to be useless.
There was no one here at all.
Only a group of quiet iron heads, staring at the two noisy little guys with big eyes and expressionless faces.
Scratching his head.
On the same morning, Levi set out from the valley, looking at the newly unlocked module, feeling excited, and rushing home without stopping, just waiting to go home and show his skills.
It was night.
Boom!
The siege ladder collided with the city wall and rested firmly on it.
Orcs shouted and climbed up the city wall impatiently.
When the first orc climbed up the city wall and found that there was no one in the watchtowers on all sides, he immediately laughed strangely, walked to the city gate and pulled a switch.
Creak.
An iron door turned 90 degrees and opened an exit.
Immediately, the orcs filed in and squeezed in one by one.
Although the door was not big, it was high enough for the wolves and orcs to pass through together. Although it was a bit slow to enter one by one, sooner or later all the orcs could enter.
The pigs, chickens, cows and horses in the pasture looked at these invaders wisely and made meaningless hums.
The orcs and wolves who entered first saw a large number of fresh livestock not far away, and they couldn't help it. They raised their butcher knives and rushed over to slaughter them. Thinking of the fresh meat that would soon be in their mouths, their saliva was about to flow out.
However, the moment they showed their intention to attack, the outcome was doomed.
Boom boom boom --
The earth trembled, as if some huge monster was approaching.
The butcher knife was still raised in the air, and suddenly a sense of weightlessness came.
The Oak Vanguard felt a pain in his waist, and his sight suddenly flew up to the sky. He turned his head and found that the wolf under his crotch had flown up at some point.
Snap.
The unfortunate Oak rider flew out of the wall with the wolf, fell heavily to the ground, rolled his eyes, and then there was no movement.
'If you feel that no one cares about you, you can go and fight the iron golem, so that you will feel pain all over. '--Levi.
The sudden appearance of the iron giant immediately attracted the attention of the large army. Watching their companions fly into the sky, the surrounding Oaks were frightened and shrank back for a while.
"Fight back, there is only one of them!"
The first to react was the Oak captain, who roared when he saw the enemy appear.
A large group of Orc riders immediately showed ferocious faces and swarmed forward, wielding their butcher knives and sharp teeth. The Iron Golem was outnumbered and soon entangled.
Even though the Iron Golem could swing an Orc and its wolf into the sky every time it raised its arm, it could only fight one by one.
Under the repeated siege, a crack soon appeared on the Iron Golem. Finding that this thing was not invincible, the Orc captain immediately felt relieved and estimated that the loss was still within an acceptable range and would not be too large.
Once this weird guard was killed, they could occupy this place.
However, the next moment, there was a rumble and a tremor that was louder than the previous one. From the corners of the city wall, the left and right of the castle, and some corners that had not been noticed before, tall and big guys rushed in from all directions, swung their slender and hard iron arms, and directly knocked a large number of Orcs away.
Blood fell from the air and splashed all over the ground.
In the blink of an eye, this small team of only a few hundred was dispersed, with twenty iron golems running rampant among them, and the entire team collapsed at the first blow.
One was enough trouble, and now I tell you there are a bunch of these things?
The orcs were dumbfounded.
The momentum was constantly wavering and weakening.
A one-sided massacre was unfolding, and the two riders were frightened on the spot, blocking the door and squeezing, just to see who could get out first, they started a fight, cursing and killing each other.
At this moment, the small iron gate at the gate of the city is obviously no longer a shortcut for the orcs to attack the city, but an obstacle for them to escape.
Soon, one of the orcs was kicked to the ground and lay at the gate, while the other one quickly rode the wolf and ran away without looking back.
Ignoring his behavior, the only escape route was blocked.
The orc captain inside the wall looked around and finally panicked at the messy battlefield. He yelled and tried to gather his men to organize a counterattack, but all this was in vain. At this moment, the group of orcs had been killed by the sudden iron golem army and collapsed. It was a mess and could not be commanded at all.
Magic, this must be some kind of powerful magic creation. It is impossible to defeat it with just this little manpower!
The captain of the orcs made a judgment at the first time, knowing that the best thing to do at this time was to escape back and pass on the message, so he pushed the orcs around him and turned to run towards the only exit.
"Damn it, get out!"
At this moment, there were several orcs crowded at the only exit, and they couldn't get out no matter what.
Seeing that the soldiers behind him were almost killed and it was his turn soon, the captain was anxious and could not wait any longer. He immediately controlled the wolf to rush forward and pushed away the subordinates who were crowded in front of him.
"Ah--!"
The screams rang in his ears. When the captain ran to the door with great effort, he finally found out why his subordinates were blocking here.
"A bunch of trash, move him away!"
Clang--
Another piece of orcs was swung into the sky. No longer caring about anything else, the captain simply left the wolf, jumped down, and actually drilled out through the gap at the door.
In the angry eyes of the wolf before it died, this orc captain became the only survivor.
He will bring the news here back to the Orc King.
And what was brought back together was the fear of this place.
…
At this time, Levi was still on his way on horseback.
Not knowing what happened, that night, a bunch of prompts suddenly appeared above Levi's head.
[Dunedain reputation +50]
[Rivendell camp reputation +50]
[Bree region reputation +30]
"Your reputation is spreading in the free camp."
Ah?
A series of sudden reputation increase prompts directly confused Levi.
What happened?
