Chapter 1212 Prelude to the War

Gondor, the Prairie Tavern trembled slightly.

A puff of dust fell from the gaps between the wooden boards on the ceiling above, the empty wooden cups trembled slightly on the table, and the cups filled with wine only had ripples in the wine, and the waitress was under the shaking hands. Spilled a glass of wine on an adventurer's shoes and apologized repeatedly.

A slight roar came, and it was already continuous when it reached here, but the sound was not loud.

It's a long way from Togo Dole here.

"Thunder?" Someone frowned.

"You really are an idiot. Have you ever seen thunder in winter? I really doubt if you were born in a pigsty, and then your mother accidentally killed someone and picked up a pig!" Knocked the young man on the head.

The young man was a little angry, and immediately clapped the table and stood up, but after calming down a bit, he still didn't dare to make a move.

"Then what are you talking about! Fret!"

"Obviously an earthquake!"

At this moment, the horrified voice of a big man next to him spread throughout the tavern: "This is Sauron... the news of the fall of the Dark Lord, the rumors are indeed true! The Dark Lord's soul was resurrected, but was killed by that god again. To allow Middle-earth to concentrate on the coming catastrophe..."

"My God!" Fred, who had just said that it was an earthquake, suddenly woke up and said in a daze.

The reactions of the others in the tavern were similar, and most of them looked shocked, remembering the rumors that swept the entire kingdom in a short period of time. But there are still people who are not sure. After paying the bill, they ran out to verify whether it was the death of the Dark Lord or an earthquake.

After a long time, Fret woke up like a dream.

At this time, a person rushed in from outside the door. It seemed to be someone who had just been drinking in the tavern. As soon as he came in, he sat on the seat with a heavy expression and said to his companion: "It has been confirmed, this news came from the north. , I don't know if it was an earthquake for the time being, but someone in the kingdom has already sensed the evil aura in it."

At this time, there was silence in the tavern, and his voice naturally reached everyone's ears, causing shock.

"North? Where is that?"

"To the north is our ally Rohan, and further north is Lothlorien and the Greenleaf..."

The man didn't say much, but everyone understood.

"The Green Leaf Forest is next to Togo Dole, which is the place where Sauron's soul recovery has been confirmed."

"The world is going to change," Fret said.

"So, those rumors are true, they're all true! My God! God personally came down to settle the Dark Lord that once swept through Middle-earth, just to deal with that catastrophe?... Maybe the whole Middle-earth will perish because of this..."

Everyone's faces were extremely heavy.

The demise of Middle-earth may be an exaggeration, but it is not uncommon for several kingdoms to perish in every war that sweeps the world. Even if the kingdom of Gondor can stand strong, each kingdom will lose a lot of population, and they may go directly to the front line and become one of the most likely to be reduced...

The previous rumors have not been confirmed, at most, gossip is flying all over the sky, mixed with half-truths, no one can be sure of every word, but now it seems that the dust has settled.

****************

Shire, the land of green peace.

The sudden muffled sound and shudder also shocked the hobbits and the humans who lived here, and they all ran out of their houses, panicking and asking what happened. But they are not as keen as the adventurers and rangers of Gondor. They have been together for a long time to discuss, most people think it is an earthquake, a few people think it is the resurrection of ancient creatures underground, it is likely to be a huge A demon with great destructive power that will surely bring disaster to the peaceful Shire.

Anyang was very helpless.

He clearly had his avatar here to publicize it, and he had been publicizing it for several days. Obviously, almost everyone knew about him, but at this time, no one thought about it at all.

This place is just amazing.

He couldn't help but remember when the avatar just came here to promote, almost many people believed the news immediately after the promotion, and responded with deep shock and worry, but after two or three days, they completely forgot about the rumor. The catastrophe, what should I continue to do?

At this time, the fisherman could not help dragging a cart full of fish between several villages in Shire. When people cheered and snapped up the fish, he reminded him helplessly.

"You just heard the movement..."

"I hear you!"

"...Look, sure enough, I said before that the god will kill Sauron with his own hands, and the news of his death will shock the entire Middle-earth world, and it has come true!"

"Wow that god is really amazing! The Dark Lord is actually dead, we must celebrate tonight!!"

"...Are you too happy? The death of the Dark Lord also means that the other news accompanying this rumor is also true, and there will be a catastrophe coming to Middle-earth. Those monsters are countless times more terrifying than the Dark Lord. It will bring disaster to Middle-earth, the Ciel is likely to perish, and all of us will die without a place to die!"

"Wow, that's true! It's scary!"

"Then what shall we do?"

"I don't want to die!"

"Charles only have postmen and militia. We can only defend against robbers. Are we going to fight?"

"I don't want to fight!"

"Ah, yes! I remember the rumors that as long as we devoutly believe in that god, he will help us. If this is true, then shouldn't we believe in that god? That god seems to be called Ain. Kofinori."

"Okay, then I'll go back and try it out."

"I don't want to believe in gods other than Iluvatar."

"I'll try it too."

"My faith is still given to Iluvita."

"I'm going to try anyway, or we'll have to wait to die when the war spreads to the Shire!"

The fisherman grabbed a fish from the car expressionlessly and handed it to a hobbit. His movements were stiff, and the buzzing sound that got into his ears from all around made him even more painful. After everyone was gone, he pulled the car to the next place.

But my heart was already beeping like a dog.

This place is... poisonous!

****************

Lonely Mountain was also a big shock. The dust on the castle and the stones under the building fell one after another. Fortunately, no casualties were caused.

Because of the green leaf forest as a buffer, the shock wave did not spread to this side, and the vibration was much lighter. At the beginning of its establishment, the dwarf kingdom had considered defending against underground attacks, so it didn't suffer much loss, but everyone was still shocked.

"This is the taste of Sauron..." Gandalf and Redagast had returned to the Lonely Mountain.

"Sauron... dead?" Sorin narrowed his eyes and murmured.

"That strange god is far more powerful than we thought. If I guessed correctly, he didn't take much effort to kill Sauron." Gandalf was still smoking a cigarette, his eyes calm.

"Do you think he is strange too?"

"Oh! Yes, at least neither Redagast nor I in Valinor have ever heard the Valar's name. He may have come from somewhere else, or before Valinor was founded, or even I don't know much longer until Melkor destroys the Great Movement." Gandalf narrowed his eyes.

At this time, Feili suddenly walked in from the outside and said: "There is news from the Woodland Kingdom that the movement of Gundaba Mountain has almost stopped, and tonight only a small number of orcs are disabled, old and weak from the underground city. Other passages ran out, but they were caught by some larger flying giant insects before they ran too far. Then giant insects appeared from other places and guarded the entrances of various passages. Occasionally, giant insects entered from the main passage of the underground city. , it seems the war is almost over."

"A bigger flying giant?"

"Yes, it is a new giant insect. The letter said that the giant insect is like a giant praying mantis, but it is very different from the praying mantis. It can fly long distances and is very ferocious. The scouts of the Woodland Kingdom have maintained It's a long distance away, but it's still very unsafe. It is estimated that after tomorrow, the orcs will be eliminated, and they won't dare to observe like this again."

"A new kind of giant insect!" Thorin's face was heavy, "and the war is almost over, which means... they are going to start a new war."

"The letter also lists two other newly discovered giant insects. One is larger than a mammoth, somewhat similar to a ferocious beetle, it is silver, and it is covered with thick heavy armor. The orcs of Gondaba and The Warg can hardly do any damage to it. One is about the size of the giant worm we've seen before, the one on the table, but it's thicker and about the same speed as the previous giant worm, but with agility Slightly lower, much more power..."

"I see." Thorin nodded, hesitated again, and then said, "You reply to Thranduil and ask him if he needs help from the dwarves! ... Tell him that this is only information for him. s return."

"Yes, uncle."

Fili quickly turned and walked away.

****************

Gundaba Mountain, the underground city of the Orcs.

Now this place has been completely occupied by the giant insect clan, and only a few orcs hide in the corners to pray, or gather in the narrow places to resist. But they shouldn't have imagined that these invaders would be better adapted to the underground environment than they are, and it's just a matter of time before finding out those half-orcs who are hiding and rushing into those narrow passages, or... whether the giant insects want to do it or not.

In fact, aside from these hiding or resisting Orcs, many Orcs survived. They were just driven to a spacious and airtight place by the giant insects, and then they were taken care of by some killer insects and acid meat insects, as if they were storing food.

All orcs, whether they are in custody, hiding, or resisting, are still alive for one reason—

The brood can't eat that much at once.
