Chapter 1217 Continental Situation

In a flash, another half a month passed.

In this short period of more than half a month, the world of Middle-earth has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Not just the hearts of the people, but also the pattern.

The attack of the giant insects soon brought the relatively peaceful Middle-earth into a more tense state of war, and everyone was in danger. Fortunately, there was no need to go out to cultivate in the cold winter, and the civilians could hide in the city. The tall and thick city walls and the soldiers on duty day and night It can also give them a sense of security for the time being.

The king on the top also frowned every day, while guarding against the invasion of those monsters, while suppressing the hearts of the people in the city, and at the same time suppressing the fears in the soldiers' hearts.

As early as a week ago, the goblin kingdom hiding under the mountain pass had perished. All the goblins were slaughtered by the marching giant ants and transported back to be the nutrients for the mother's nest. Even the tall and domineering goblin king failed. exception.

By the way, a giant marching ant found Gollum and the Lord of the Rings for Anyang from the deepest abyss in the goblin kingdom, near the underground river.

It's a pity that Sauron's soul has been completely annihilated into ashes by him with absolute power, and the Soul of the Lord of the Rings and Sauron's soul are one, so this ring will be useless, even if Middle Earth is reproduced, it will not be able to set off a bloody storm .

He casually threw it on Mount Gundaba.

Rao is that the giant insects have been distributed to every area of ​​Middle-earth during this time, so that the commoners dare not leave the city, and the merchants who travel in and out of the major areas have suffered heavy losses, but the rulers of each area still pay a lot of money to hire adventurers. They traveled back and forth between the major kingdoms, still sending elite troops out of the city, or communicating by other means.

They know that in the face of such a catastrophe, Middle-earth must be monolithic, and they must not be isolated because these giant insects are constantly attacking in the wild!

An isolated city is like an island in the sea. If they can't connect with the outside world, they will never have a chance to fight back. In the end, it will be destroyed and eaten by giant worms one by one, and sooner or later the tide of the sea will come to him, the defense of the ignorant will be vulnerable, and the civilization of Middle-earth will be submerged and occupied.

At this time, most people of insight can realize the crisis of Middle-earth, and only a few people who are stealing chickens and dogs will do things wrong at this time. Of course, they will end badly!

Many adventurers only charge a small commission, or take no money. They volunteer or even spontaneously form gangs, put on official armor, bring news of the king, and become the liaison of various kingdoms in the wilderness together with the soldiers. The blacksmiths also forged armor and weapons day and night, and the steel was recruited from the people. The king had higher and higher requirements for equipment, but at this time, the blacksmiths and the commoners did not have the slightest resentment, but willingly contributed money.

With the exchange of news from the major kingdoms, and as the God of Origin became more and more famous, two people in Middle-earth gradually became famous.

One is Gloria, the god of fire from the Shire region, and the other is Luya, the god of thorns and thunder from the Woodland Kingdom. In the process of fighting against the invasion of giant insects, the two of them were quickly known by everyone for gaining the divine power bestowed by the god of origin, and then they were respected for protecting their companions.

At the same time, the name of the God of Origin gradually became more and more familiar.

...

Ross Lorian.

Lady Galadriel stood on the balcony, overlooking the territory below, with a solemn expression.

Suddenly, several birds flew over from afar and landed on the railing beside her, either chirping or burying their heads in combing their feathers.

Galadriel frowned and looked over: "The messenger bird from the Green Leaf Forest, any news from Thranduil?"

A bird flew up and landed on her shoulder.

The cry was translated into something she could understand: "Galandriel, I'm Thranduil. Compared to other kingdoms, Greenleaf Forest seems to be a lot easier. I guess there may be a god of Ain. The reason the light shines here."

"Luya's ability is increasing day by day. She has set up a large number of thorns at the gate of the kingdom and patrolled it from time to time. After those monsters suffered continuous losses, they have rarely invaded my territory. Yesterday, my guard received the gift of Ain again and became The second divine envoy in my territory who can obtain divine power from Ain, I plan to organize troops out of the city to fight against the giant insects in three days. One of them will be sent to assist you, and I hope Rothlorien will not lose too much."

"Finally, I sent a total of six messenger birds to report the news for you. If the number is less than six when it arrives at your place, please reply the number, it means that those flying monsters are consciously cutting off the communication between us."

Galadriel looked at the flock of beautiful birds and counted them, six, not a lot.

It seemed that Thranduil was overthinking it.

The attacks of those monsters didn't have any rules. She also used magic to detect them. They were not very intelligent, and it was impossible to consciously cut off the communication between them, unless...

Unless these monsters have a commander!

Kailantri was surprised for a while. The Woodland Kingdom was the closest to Gundaba, and it was also the first country that decided to believe in Ain Kofinori. Most of the information on other kingdoms came from the Woodland Kingdom. Maybe they really knew something else. Something the kingdom doesn't know.

It would be terrifying if these monsters really had command and dispatch and could fight like an army!

She closed her eyes, and suddenly there was a situation in the corner of Lothlorian. There was the wounded resettlement center. There were dozens of elves injured by giant insects lying there, mourning or silent. Galadriel seemed to be able to sense it. Their fading vitality made her heart ache.

...

Kingdom of Rohan.

This is the hometown of hussars. Most of the residents are herdsmen and grooms. With weapons, they can go on horses to fight. Wearing armor is the best cavalry in Middle-earth. Rohan's land is covered by grasslands, and there are several well-known fortresses scattered throughout. Although it is empty, it is also a kingdom that is difficult to break.

The cavalry has always been known for its mobility and attacking power. No matter how high its mobility and how powerful its attacking power is, how can it compare to the giant worm that is a beast?

What kind of army in this steppe can be compared with those agile, ferocious and cruel giant insects? What's more, the people of Rohan Kingdom do not grow food, their food comes from livestock, and the rampage of giant insects makes it impossible for them to hide in fortresses and castles for defense. Because the fortress cannot accommodate all the livestock, even if they have already driven some horses, cattle and sheep into the fortress in advance, it is not a long-term solution. More livestock are still being slaughtered and eaten by giant insects. The warring Rohans gnawed their teeth with hatred.

Either go out to fight, or most of the herds will die, and they will not be able to survive this winter.

At this time, the meeting of the kingdom of Rohan is being held.

"These beasts are different from the previous enemies. The cavalry charge and throwing spears can't deal with them. They are heavier than the cavalry and faster than the light cavalry!" There was a muffled sound, like it was about to smash the table!

"Our lads have suffered heavy losses, and we can't go on like this! We need war machines from the dwarves, and we're going to ask the Lonely Mountain for help!"

"We need dwarves who can shoot those monsters in the opposite direction, we need repeaters that can shoot those mantises and bugs from the sky, and we need high-precision trebuchets to shoot those monsters like moving fortresses. Smashed to death!"

"General Gedor, please calm down," said another strong man with a scar on his face. "We still need to rely on King Thranduil of the Woodland Kingdom to deliver the news, even if the dwarves of the Lonely Mountain promise to provide assistance to us. , how do you transport them from the Lonely Mountain to Rohan? And the Lonely Mountain is no better than us, they face a more aggressive attack from the giant insects, do you think they don't need these siege weapons? And Rivendell , Gondor, Lothlorien, the valley city adjacent to the Lonely Mountain... they are also deeply involved in the war."

"Then we will go out and fight those monsters. They are not many, and we have a chance of winning! As long as we can take the lead in eliminating all those little bugs, then gather the army, and use the trebuchet to cast solid iron balls in conjunction with the fortress. Kill those big beetles!" said the sturdy general.

"They won't confront us head-on." This was said in a calm and soft tone, but the king sitting at the top said, "They are only the vanguard, they know that they are at a disadvantage, and if we send troops in large numbers, they will definitely avoid the edge for a while. It's a pity that our proud Miaras (horses from the kingdom of Rohan, famous in Middle-earth) can't keep up with them, and we lack archers like elves, and we lack cavalry to cope with The harassment of those flying worms."

After a pause, he shook his head and said, "They are more like nomads than us, and they know how to harass. This method won't work."

At this time, a man sitting on the lower left of the king said: "Maybe what we need is not a real weapon, but a more mysterious and powerful force."

General Gedo slapped the table again: "You know what you're talking about? Pilgay. If you want to convert their beliefs like those elves and southerners, I won't stop you, but if you openly let us betray Europe Rommy, I must not agree!" (Oromie means trumpet sounded, is a powerful Valar, he also has a name called the god of hunting, and most people in the kingdom of Rohan worship him. )

"But we're in a predicament now, and Oromi has neither saved us nor empowered you to fight those monsters." Pilgay's voice was steady.

"But he gave us faith!"

"Faith will not allow us to win this war! Gedo. The vanguard alone has already exhausted us. At least hundreds of people have died in the major fortresses of the Kingdom these days, the elves of the green leaf forest and the weak humans of the Shire. But he is getting out of this predicament because of the power of that god!" Pilgay's voice gradually became lower.

Taking a deep breath, he no longer suppressed and continued: "We need the protection of Ion Kofinori, we need the power of the gods and gods, otherwise we will never be able to fight those monsters on the grassland, they are almost invulnerable. !"

"I've seen their power!" Geddo said gloomily, still staring coldly at Pilgay.

"Oh? Is that so?" Pilgay replied, and then he tore open his clothes, revealing a huge still bloody wound, and then looked at Gerdor, "Then may I ask if you have ever tried to be caught by dozens of The kind of monsters that are besieged on the grasslands without help? Have you ever felt powerless to fight against those monsters in person? Has your son been torn apart by those monsters in front of you?"

Pilgay's physique was much thinner than Gedo, but the words shocked everyone.

After a long time, the king said regretfully: "Pilgay, I am very sorry about Pilke. Maybe you need to rest and come out of that sadness."

"I only have grief and anger."

"I know that we will consider your proposal. I know better than you about the affairs of Ain Kofinori and the current situation of the kingdom, but you also know that most of the Rohan people are as stubborn and conservative as General Gedo. I can't guarantee..."

"Yes, my majesty, I am as stubborn and old-fashioned as General Geddo, I was," said Pilgue.

...

Shire, Greenpeace is no longer peaceful.

The resident blacksmiths forge the adventurer with thick and fine armor, as well as large shields, sharp spears and crossed swords. Taking advantage of the wind and sunshine today, the sight was better, and there was no snow, they were dressed neatly and walked out of Brie in two columns, guarding a girl in the middle, the fire that is now widely loved by the residents of the Shire. God made Gloria.

Before they could go far, they were attacked.

The battle is imminent!

Four tall adventurers armed with heavy shields firmly protected Gloria, while Gloria stood in the middle and aimed at the giant insects and released the flames continuously. , has always maintained a fixed formation.

After a while, the giant worm receded.

Except for a few peripheral adventurers who were injured, only one unlucky ghost died because his head was bitten off by a giant insect.

"Collect their corpses, put them on a trolley and bring them back for burial, otherwise they will become food for the reproduction of giant insects. And these giant insect corpses, find dry wood and burn them." Gloria is now able to If you control the release of power, you can participate in the battle relatively calmly, and you can even make some finishing arrangements after the battle is over.

"Leave it to us, Lord Envoy." Several adventurers said, excitedly walking towards the giant worm.

It is said that the eyes of these giant insects are as bright and valuable as gems. The king of the elves and the king of the mountain will charge a high price, and they have the effect of curing diseases. .

Just after the first battle, three giant insects died, all of which were hit by Gloria's flame impact.

If this kind of victory was placed in other kingdoms, it would require at least hundreds of soldiers, more than ten killed and dozens of wounded.

"Lord God, your idea is really good! I'm very happy to see the giant worm being killed." An adventurer opened his mouth and said to Gloria, referring to this defensive formation.

"It wasn't my idea, it was taught to me by God in a dream a few nights ago." Gloria said softly.

"Then I'm already very devout to God, why didn't God give me divine power, not even shelter." The adventurer said a little troubled.

"Don't worry, there will always be, God is watching us, always," Gloria said.

At this time, another adventurer said: "Lord Spellcaster, they have already set fire to come back, let's move on, we will arrive at the Buckland before dark today, and we still don't know the people of the Liquor Deer family. How is it now, will you agree to join forces with us?"

"Let's go then." Gloria said.

Although she is still weak in character, because of her own strength and her status as an "envoy", she is able to communicate with Ain from time to time, and has a faint leadership in the team. Even those adventurers who don't believe in the god of origin who call her Lord Spellcaster respect her.

At the same time, Hobbiton in the Shire.

A new angel was also born here, that is, Bilbo Baggins, who had participated in the expedition of the dwarves.

With little effort he borrowed power from Mr. Ain, and power he had seen before - he could call upon the boulders scattered over the earth, and call upon stone giants who would obey his command against the worms.

At last, he thought, he was able to protect the Hobbit.

...

Compared with the tension of other kingdoms in Middle-earth, the Woodland Forest seems to be much more calm, and even Thranduil is very calm, and has weakened the guarding power of the kingdom's gates and rivers, so as not to spend too much of the kingdom's military power on this.

After Luya, two more divine envoys appeared in the Woodland Kingdom, which undoubtedly greatly increased the power of the kingdom.
