Bringing the MC system to Middle-earth.

Chapter 23 Chase
"A low health monster, can you resist killing it?"

Levi clearly saw that this arrow directly shot Captain Oak and left him with only seven drops of blood.

The kill line has arrived!
Without any hesitation, Levi quickly crawled out of the tunnel, drew out his sword before the Oak next to him rushed over, and directly chopped the Oak captain to the ground, clearing his health.

With the death of their leader, the surrounding orcs became chaotic without their core, and even the wargs were at a loss. Levi did not miss this opportunity. He stepped forward and chopped down several of the orcs, including the wargs.

The smell of blood became stronger, and finally Oak reacted, pointing at Levi and shouting, "Kill him, he's alone!"

Shine——

The sword flashed, and the wolf under the orc's crotch had its limbs broken and fell to the ground. Another sword was stabbed up, and the orc died on the spot.

The temporary commander who stood up was killed in an instant, and a team of Oaks fell into chaos again. Some Oaks continued to rush towards Levi, trying to kill the human first. However, Levi only needed two swords to kill him, and did not even need a third one.

There was no unified command and the scene was in chaos. The orcs and the wargs gathered in a large group, shouting and killing Levi in ​​the center, but they were still unable to form an effective formation. They just went over to die like one or two gourd brothers saving their grandfather.

While the ones inside were fighting, the ones outside were just huddled together and yelling, and in the process blocked Oak's retreat.

There was also Oak who tried to shout to unify the formation, but he would soon be noticed by Levi. Even if he suffered more injuries, Levi would kill him first.

At this moment, Levi deeply felt the difference between having a command and having no command.

When the team leader was still alive, Levi only dared to launch sneak attacks and run away after succeeding. He didn't dare to strike even one more time because he would be surrounded if he was a second late.

As for now, as long as Levi doesn't want to fight, he can break out at any time.

The gap was so huge that it was no wonder that the entire orc camp was quickly defeated after Azog's death in the Battle of Five Armies.

Soldiers without formations, unable to unify and only knowing how to fight on their own are like headless flies in any camp and are not to be feared.

His body was stained with more and more blood, but the sword in his hand was still shining, as bright as a star that never goes out. This ray of light became the last light seen by many wolves and orcs.

When more than half of the cavalry squad suffered casualties, Levi had already planned to break out and escape. After all, the enemy had so many numbers that even if they all rushed over and attacked him, they would be able to kill him.

At this time, he only had half of his health left and his hunger was not enough.

However, what Levi didn't expect was that the orcs started to get scared first.

Seeing that half of his companions were dead, the human not only acted full of energy without any sign of fatigue, but his injuries were actually recovering.

Oak is really scared, he can't be killed at all!

Sometimes, the most terrifying thing about something is not that it is difficult, but that no matter what the cost or how hard you try, you can’t see any progress at all.

Although Levi's condition was somewhat dangerous at the moment, he still appeared to be unharmed, as if all attacks were ineffective against him.

The knife was clearly stabbed into his body, but he acted as if nothing had happened. He was even able to pull it out and chop Oak, who had stabbed him, with his backhand.

Once or twice is not a big deal, but after three or four times, many Orcs were scared out of their wits.

At this moment Levi pretended to be fierce. He raised his sword and shouted to scare away the orcs and wolves, while he was frantically eating veal jerky.

After his hunger and health were restored, he really rushed forward and continued to chop.

"I'm waiting for my health to recover, what are you waiting for?"

The smell of blood gradually spread.

The Orcs died as they should, and fled as they should, but in any case, this team no longer existed.

There were more than twenty horsemen, including wolves and orcs, and there were more than forty corpses. At this moment, the corpses were spread all over the ground, like a slaughterhouse.

The light on the sword gradually went out, signaling the end of the battle.

At the same time, system achievement prompts suddenly came:

[Rivet Valley area camp reaches 100]

[Dúnedain faction reputation reaches 100]

[Obtained faction achievement: Friends of the Valley]

[Obtained faction achievement: Friends of the Dunedain]

"what?"

Levi clicked on the instructions.

When your reputation reaches 10 points or above, it means that the corresponding camp has recognized you and their attitude towards you will become relatively friendly.

When your reputation reaches 100 points, it means that you are an undisputed friend of this camp.

Well, before one even reaches the valley, one has become a friend of the valley.

Take another look at the reputation change record.

Trolls, orcs, and wargs, all enemies of the free people, whose deaths brought him fame.

Not only the Dunedain and Rivendell, but also the reputation of other free peoples will slowly increase once his deeds spread, but certainly not by this much. After chewing another piece of dried meat, seeing that it was still late, Levi decided to continue to visit a few trolls.

However, this time, Levi climbed over mountains and crossed rivers, searched for several caves, and ran all night, but he still couldn't find another ogre.

Finding ogres is a job that requires both luck and strength.

Seeing that there were quite a lot of gold, silver and treasures in his backpack, and an extra sword, Levi decided to temporarily end his journey in the Troll Forest and continue to the Valley.

It’s a pity that in the end, the three ogres who were hiding a lot of treasures were not found. It can only be said that fate let them escape.

We returned to the last bridge, knocked on the ground, and found the horse inside was safe and sound.

“…It must be hard for you to be locked up for so many days.”

Levi patted the horse's head gently, but the horse didn't react. It just lowered its head and nibbled on the grass, its eyes full of wisdom.

"Get on the road!"

Levi mounted his horse in one step and continued to gallop eastward.

This continued until the next night.

While riding the horse, Levi took out the map and compared the location. He estimated that at the current speed, he would be able to reach the vicinity of the valley before daytime.

According to what Farodan said, there seems to be a path that leads directly into the valley...

whoosh-

In the blink of an eye, a sound of breaking air suddenly approached.

"hiss--"

The horse under him suddenly raised its hooves and stopped abruptly, startling Levi so much that he almost fell off.

Looking again, I saw that an arrow had been stuck in the horse's belly at some point. Even though the horse was protected by armor, seven drops of blood were still knocked out.

Turning his head, Levi suddenly found that a large shadow had been lurking beside him at some point. The scarlet eyes were crowded together, staring at him straight, making his scalp tingle.

It was a troop of Oak cavalry.

Judging from the size... there are hundreds of them.

"I'm super!"

Levi cursed and turned around and ran away on his horse.

"what?"

Isn't this right?

The orc archer who shot the arrow was stunned. I thought, I clearly hit the target, so how could the horse run so fast as if nothing had happened?
"Chase!" an orc ordered.

Suddenly, a group of wolf riders rushed forward and charged forward in an orderly manner.

"Chief, it's him. He wiped out our team in the Troll Forest..." An Orc rider came forward timidly to report, and the wolf under him also looked a little listless, as if it had been frightened recently.

"I know. That's the head the king wants."

"I'll kill him!"

Roar!
The wolf under the leader's crotch let out a roar and followed the main force.

“Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck, bad luck—”

On this side, Levi was riding his horse, his heart pounding. Damn orcs, so many of them targeting him, does he have any shame? Is it worth it!
After cursing a few words inwardly, Levi had no choice but to run. After all, there were more than a hundred wolf riders, and they were not just a ragtag group of soldiers. Looking at their equipment, they were considered elite among the mostly half-naked orcs of the Misty Mountains. At least they were all wearing armor.

In any case, this scale is definitely beyond my ability to contend with.

Levi ran forward fiercely, not daring to stop for even a second.

I kept running like this for nearly half the night.

Levi turned around.

"Damn it, they're still chasing, won't these wolves get tired?"

In fact, there are many ways to deal with these pursuers. At worst, you can just keep running and tire them to death.

If the situation is almost solved, you can get off your horse and dig three blocks on the spot to fill one, then dig a tunnel to escape. With the digging speed of the shovel, you can dig three blocks before the pursuers get close to you.

or.
Just as Levi was struggling over whether to take any additional action, he suddenly felt the ground in front of him shaking faintly. He looked up suddenly and saw a neat row of silver-gray suddenly appearing at the end of the plain in front of him, glowing with a faint white light under the reflection of the stars.

That is…

cavalry?
