Chapter 261 More Like a Villain Than a Villain
Chapter 261 More Like a Villain Than a Villain
Rohan.
Edoras, the capital of the kingdom, is located on the vast wasteland. It quietly crawls on the shoulder of a mountain, like a horse with its back against the snow-capped mountains.
Although it is the capital of a country, Edoras looks like a bandit's luxurious village at first glance.
The city walls and gates are all made of tall wood, surrounding a small mountain.
Behind the city wall are wooden houses one after another, basically one or two stories high. The people in the houses are full of worries, and the woman looks out the window anxiously with her child in her arms.
And on that low mountain top, there is the most magnificent building in Edoras - the Royal Palace of Rohan.
Of course, the term grandeur is relative. If it is placed in the valley, it can be regarded as a serious and depressing cathedral at best.
But such a palace dormant on the shoulders of a barren mountain, with the cloudless sky on top, and embraces the snow-white mountains in all directions, has a tragic and beautiful feeling that makes people feel peaceful.
Rohan is a nomadic people, and they don't care how magnificent the city is built. As a "nation on horseback", they follow the principle of "gathering is a ball of fire, scattered is a sky full of stars".
At this moment, King Theoden and Marshal Iomund are standing proudly on the hill outside the city.
Behind the two is the cavalry army that is being assembled and integrated. There are densely packed human heads and horse heads, and the number is frighteningly large.
They are going to help the White City of Gondor.
But the expected enemy army arrived as promised.
No, where Theoden and Eomund were watching, the Orcs riding on the wargs appeared, staring fiercely, and did not rush to attack impulsively.
Orcs, who have been in Rohan for many years, know very well that they cannot confront the Rohan cavalry head-on. Even the tyrannical wargs will scream and howl under the hooves of their horses.
So they deployed ahead of time on the only way to Gondor, and they specifically selected mountain valleys with complex terrain.
This move can be described as ruthless and clever, and directly made Yi Wang Yi Shuai fall into silence.
If they charge recklessly, the cavalry army will suffer a lot of losses, and their morale will be greatly reduced when they reach Gondor.
But it's not the same thing to continue to hesitate like this. You can't wait until the entire Baicheng army is wiped out.
"How about this, let me take an elite team to kill those guys first, so as to minimize the loss." Iomund suggested.
"In any case, this Orc army must be eradicated. I don't worry about them wandering around Edoras." Theoden said murderously.
"I hope Gondor can persevere. If the White City is breached, the army of Mordor will penetrate the entire middle-earth unimpeded." Eomond gripped the hilt of his sword tightly as he spoke.
He turned around, gathered his personal guards, and mounted his horse.
Hundreds of people without complaint, followed the field marshal and galloped towards the valley where the Orc army was.
Outside the palace, Theodwin, the sister of the king and wife of the marshal, put her hands on her chest and prayed for her heroic husband. In front of her, there were two boys and a girl.
They were Prince Theod, Eomer the son of the Marshal, and Eowyn the daughter of the Marshal.
Theod was supposed to live in Fort Ord, her husband's territory, but now Fort Ord in the east is raging with war, and she, who is of royal blood, took her children to Edoras for refuge.
"Everyone, use our flesh and blood to make a bloody path for the horses of Rohan!"
During the gallop, Iomond roared loudly, as if what he was rushing to was not fighting and death, but the temple of glory covered with flowers and sunshine.
Hearing his voice, everyone in Edoras couldn't help clenching their fists, and Theodwin couldn't hold back his tears.
Looking at the hundreds of cavalry who were seeking their own death, the Orcs looked at each other with grim faces.
Especially the leader is the thorny Iomond. They have long wanted to get rid of this hateful Marshal Rohan.
Rumble~ Rumble~
Gradually, the gravel on the ground trembled violently, causing the Orc Commander to look around.
"Just a few hundred cavalry can cause such a big earthquake?"
"impossible?"
"There's something wrong with it, why are you shaking more and more!"
Soon, these Orcs standing on the cliff or mountain wall had to lie down to stabilize their balance, and a large number of falling rocks fell one after another, as if the entire canyon was bumping irregularly.
"Withdraw! Withdraw!"
The Orc leader realized that this was not the same thing, and there was no need for Iomond to take action, and they would all be buried below.
"stop!"
Eomond naturally also noticed the strangeness, and immediately signaled the guards to stop, looking at the scene a thousand meters away with a puzzled expression.
bang——
Unexpected changes happened suddenly.
A cliff with hundreds of orcs standing on it exploded unexpectedly out of thin air, and the sky was full of rubble mixed with panic-stricken orcs.
Amidst the billowing smoke, a 60-[-]-meter-long white skeleton emerged from the ground. The hard rock looked like a block of tofu in front of it, and the sharp claws on its limbs could easily cut it into pieces.
Skeletons, spirits of the wild!
"What the hell is that?" Eomund muttered incredulously, "Skeleton-like undead creatures, could they be Smaug's generals?"
Thinking of this, he seemed to have taken a reassurance, and retreated 1000 meters to avoid accidental injury.
In contrast, Oak panicked a lot.
After all the calculations, they didn't even expect this outrageous development, a big skeleton emerged from the ground?
Rumble!
The Spirit of the Wild would not give them time to think, he chiseled through the rock again with a thump on the spot, opening a large hole in the mountain with terrifying momentum.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
In the blink of an eye, the canyon was riddled with holes, like countless shocking and huge scars.
Although the Wild Spirit didn't deliberately attack the Orc army, the large-scale damage it caused in this way was obviously more effective, after all, it destroyed the Orcs' foothold.
Repeatedly, most of the orcs were buried under heavy stone piles, and the survivors were insignificant. The wild spirit killed them all with a few claws.
The Wild Spirit stopped its destruction. It crouched on the ground like a groundhog, waved its arms at Eomund and the others, and let out a few friendly grunts.
"This big guy is a bit cute~" Eomund laughed, calling the guards to return to the main force.
Outside Edoras.
"The whole army is ready, set off at sunset, and march quickly tonight!" shouted Theoden.
……
If you have to ask at this moment, which battlefield is as important as the Battle of Baicheng, then it must be the Battle of Zixun Valley.
In the northwest of Baicheng, across a ridge covered with vegetation, is a purple ocean.
When the wind blows, there will be purple waves, and the layers of waves will beat out a few dreamy waves.
There are lavenders all over the mountains and plains here.
From the southern hillside all the way to the north, it covers the entire valley and surrounds a beautiful town. A clear stream runs across the lush flower garden from west to east.
The lavender scenery of Zixun Valley is quite famous in Gondor and even Middle Earth. Countless travelers cross mountains and rivers to see this dreamlike scenery.
When the flower season is blooming, rent a second-floor hostel in the small town, lie on a chair on the terrace, hold a cup of hot cocoa, and be in the purple bubbles with your lover.
Unfortunately, no terrace, no hot cocoa, no lovers.
Even the lavender is almost gone.
Only demons, monsters, blood and howling ghosts and wolves.
The residents of the small town fled as early as 10 minutes ago, and their former homes became a place of terror that they could not avoid.
Whoosh!
The four Ringwraiths headed by the Witch King of Angmar rode fallen flying beasts and lined up one by one.
Apart from the four of them, there are many dark creatures with different appearances.
Dozens of red-eyed vultures with a wingspan of ten meters, and gray-skinned ghouls riding on the backs of the vultures.
The ghost-faced phantoms puffing out the strange black mist floated around, leaving afterimages in mid-air constantly. Only when they occasionally slowed down, could they confirm that there were more than 20 in number.
More than a dozen adult-sized four-winged flying insects resemble locusts in appearance. When their wings vibrate, the sound is extremely sharp, and their speed is terrifying.
Four vampires are similar to human beings. They are all hot women, but their appearance has the characteristics of beasts. The corners of the eyes are long and narrow, the pupils are small, the forehead is slightly protruding, and the sharp teeth protrude from the corners of the mouth. Beast-like sharp claws, bat wings growing from the back, it is said to be a vampire, but it is actually more like a demon.
On the ground, a large field of lavender flowers was raised, exposing the deep soil, and it seemed that there were giants wriggling underground, like a group of swamp crocodiles waiting for their prey to fall.
They are all dark groups hiding in every dark corner. They are symbols of filth, evil, and viciousness. They are often mentioned in bard's notebooks, and they are always regarded as strange stories by people.
For many years, Sauron has been looking for and summoning dark creatures in order to set off another world war in Middle-earth and make himself more likely to win.
Finally, surrounded by these dark creatures, there is a dark creature that looks more like a villain than them all!
If people who don't know the truth see it, they will definitely say that the skeletal dragon is the big boss of the villain.
"This is the guy Lord Sauron wants to get rid of? The Smaug in my impression is not a slut~" The female vampire in charge communicated with Kohamur with a smile. She is the mother of the other three.
"You can't underestimate it. It completely killed five Ringwraiths, and even beat Saruman into a prodigal dog." Ke Hamur snorted coldly.
"The ring spirits? Except for you and the Witch King, the nine people don't seem to be doing well~" The mother of vampires smiled, ignoring the cold peripheral vision of the other two ring spirits.
"Don't talk nonsense." The Witch King of Angmar said.
"Okay, okay, according to Lord Sauron's order, we only need to kill Smaug?" The mother of vampires returned to the topic.
"If you underestimate the enemy, you will pay with your life." The Witch King warned.
The mother of vampires finally put away her frivolous face. As an old witch who has lived for nearly ten thousand years, she has seen and heard a lot. She has witnessed or participated in many tragic battles, so naturally she does not pay attention to a dragon skeleton.
It's not that she thinks she can single out Chu Xin, but the mentality of "I've seen airplanes and cannons before, so what's a mere rifle and grenade?"
And in the dark and desolate years, she and her tribe only dared to wander in the land of the Southern Barbarians and attack the villages of the Harad people.
As for why she is so arrogant, the reason is very simple, that is, she positions herself as a "senator" and considers herself a high-level person in Mordor.
The Witch King and Kehamur didn't want to argue with her at the moment. In contrast, they cared more about Chu Xin. After all, Sauron had issued an ultimatum, either to go back with the Supreme Lord of the Rings, or to carry his own head go back.
"It turns out that Sauron's goal has always been the same, and he also arranged for the most elite team to ambush me?" Chu Xin looked around and said plainly.
"Since you understand, then skip the nonsense process." The Witch King replied sullenly.
"That's exactly what I mean." After Chu Xin finished speaking, a ferocious dragon swung its tail and swept out.
Whoa!
The strong wind was hunting, and all the dark creatures felt the momentum and quickly dodged.
But soon, the gray-skinned ghouls drove the red-eyed vultures to counterattack in all directions. They did not use meaningless bows and arrows, but shot strange black balls with super-large slingshots.
These things exploded before they touched Chu Xin. It was not black powder, but a large amount of extremely viscous black matter, which stuck to Chu Xin's body like glue.
woo-
Suddenly, there was a gust of wind, and the ghost-faced ghosts were also dispatched.
In a way, they are very powerful, that is, others cannot touch them, but their weapons can touch others.
No, they penetrated Chu Xin's sharp claws and tail blades, and slashed vigorously with the illusory sword in their hands, colliding with a real crisp sound of gold and iron.
It doesn't matter whether there is any damage or not, it's just to interfere.
hum-
The four-winged flying insects also surrounded Chu Xin with the sound of flapping wings piercing the eardrums, quickly forming an invisible wall of sound waves.
At this moment, Chu Xin guessed that both ghosts and flying insects were covering. The former disturbed his sight, while the latter interfered with his hearing, affecting his fighting state from all directions.
Although it is still unclear what those black substances are, Chu Xin knows that the Witch King will not do useless work.
boom--
As a result, a mouthful of Sacrificial Explosion Dragon Flame gushed out.
The scalding explosion flames instantly swallowed half of the flying insects and vultures. Although the ghost-faced ghosts did not die, they all looked scalded and moved away from Chu Xin in shock.
"What kind of flame is this? There is indeed something about it." The mother of vampires said solemnly, retreating calmly.
Just as she was about to say something more, she heard a sharp voice from far to near.
puff!
In the next second, she saw that the eldest daughter beside her was inexplicably amputated at the waist, as if an air blade had passed by.
"Continuing to stand still will only lead to death," Harmur cursed at her. "This mission is a narrow escape for us!"
hum!
Chu Xin swung the second bone slash with his backhand, a ring spirit was hit, and the fallen flying beast under him died on the spot.
"Near death, what do you mean by life? If we don't come out, we're really done!" The mother of vampires roared sadly.
For some reason, looking at Chu Xin who was invincible in the flames, she always felt that her side was like a righteous dragon-slaying team, and the other side was the villain.
"The black demon dragon slaying technique taught by Lord Sauron." The Witch King murmured secretly, and ordered the gray-skinned ghoul to continue shooting black balls.
Strangely, this black viscous substance was not completely fused under the high heat, but became more sticky, almost becoming a scar on Chu Xin's body.
And the Witch King and the others did not start a direct confrontation with Chu Xin, and followed the roaming tactics to deal with it.
Five minutes passed like this, and Chu Xin had slaughtered all the four-winged flying insects, and the tail blade endowed with black flames also killed two-thirds of the ghost-faced ghosts, causing the rest to dare not approach at all.
Not to mention them, even the four ring spirits were frightened looking at the black flame tail blade, and suddenly realized that the five companions died under the tail.
Puff puff!
When all the red-eyed vultures and gray-skinned ghouls died, at least one-tenth of Chu Xin's body was dyed black.
No matter how you look at it, the rapidly decreasing number of the Seizing the Ring Army will undoubtedly be defeated.
But the Witch King of Angmar and Ko Hamur looked at each other ecstatically, and then chanted an obscure spell at the same time.
The former raised his head and stared fiercely, "Smaug, your time of death has come!" (End of this chapter)
