The Journey of the Demon Hunter

Zelin didn't speak, he looked at Altariel, whose face was stiff, she opened her mouth slightly, but said nothing.

In this case, she is indeed not suitable to say rejection.

The soldiers beside him were still carrying the supplies in the package, and Francesca's polite smile gradually disappeared in this silent atmosphere.

"What's the matter?" She glanced at Altariel and then at Zelin: "What happened?"

"It's hard to say a word." Zelin sighed again: "Her king gave Altariel an order to watch me because I had worn that ring. You know that ring, right?"

"Well, I heard, the ring you have been reluctant to show me, but it doesn't matter. It's just a ring anyway. I also have my magic ring, which was enchanted by Virginia for me." Siska said half-jokingly. She raised her right hand and there was a sapphire ring on her middle finger: "Maybe I can call it the Lord of the Rings. After you destroy all the only Lord Rings here."

"The elf king here worried that I might be tempted by the ring, so he asked her to stay by my side, pay attention to my behavior at all times, and remind me to avoid falling into the trap of the ring." Zelin continued to explain: "So... ..... Let’s go to the town of Long Lake on the opposite side. The war will probably start tomorrow. The enemy is on the way. We still have half a day to discuss plans and then deploy at night."

"It turned out to be like this." Francesca looked at Altariel intently, but the latter still didn't say anything: "No problem, let's go. There are no outsiders here."

Chapter 2480 Before Dawn

"So, this world is also going on a world war?" Francesca frowned slightly: "The situation is worse than I thought. I thought it was just a conflict between two countries."

Walking along the trails that people stepped on to River Valley City, Francesca looked at the waning sky and looked down and meditated: "It sounds like the land of this world is not limited to this area, just like our world, the East There are more kingdoms, empires, and nomadic tribes. Altariel, you are a native, do you know the chariot people? From the perspective of the bystander, if they are like the Serekania, maybe they can Try to investigate and see if they have some...valuable products."

"I hope you'd better not do this." Altariel said expressionlessly: "They are loyal to Sauron, and they have only one purpose in everything they do, which is to please the Dark Lord."

"Well, thank you for your reminder." Francesca tilted her head and squinted at Zelin: "It's like what the messenger of the alliance in my court said:'The tribe is just a bunch of cruel bloodthirsty groups in animal skins. Barbarians.’ Fortunately, there is a blood elf called Yamily next to you, otherwise I’m afraid I’ll really believe it. But don’t worry, I want to do business with the lone mountain dwarves and Middle-earth elves here. I won’t just When I come here, I will turn my head and contact their enemies. I will not make such a mistake. I know how to choose an environment where I have acquaintances and is friendly, and an environment that is unfamiliar and dangerous."

"It's fine if you know it." The elf rangers paid attention to the valley city soldiers who were carrying supplies. They all showed great curiosity about the things in their hands, but no one opened them, they were just busy carrying all the packages to the city. It is not only the humans in River Valley that are curious about this: "What is this?"

"Some seemingly very expensive decorations, gold and silver jewelry, and glass necklaces that look like diamonds, and stones dyed like gems." Francesca coughed lightly: "But don't mind, this is not for sale. The war is imminent, and no one wants to buy luxury goods. If you want to do business here, I have to ensure that the people on this land are in peace and that I have enough money in my pocket to buy my goods. This is Left to the chariot people. The rest is food and wine, and the best magical poison is added to it, colorless and tasteless."

"...I don't understand."

"This is what they plan to stay in River Valley City once Thorin, Dan and Brand lose outside the Lonely Mountain, as a backup plan." Zelin rubbed the tip of his nose. The night under the solitary mountain is always so cold, and the demon hunter does not have the ability of a warlock to isolate the cold and heat. Warlocks use chaos magic to a certain extent, and they can use magic to actively isolate some feelings such as cold and heat, pain, and sleepiness. Francesca is one of these people. Every time in winter, Zelin wore a cotton coat, and the wizard warlocks beside him had only thin dresses: "It is not us that decides whether the valley city can be held or not, and I am not going to compete with the enemy for the wall or engage in street fighting. This city Once surrounded, there is no way back, and I will not take the initiative to push myself to a dead end."

"So as long as the battle under the Lonely Mountain fails, I will leave and lead everyone here to retreat to Long Lake Town. Think about it, if you win a big battle and then take down a city without blood, do you think the chariot? What will the people do? They will keep the city as it is? Don’t attack any of the citizens’ property in the city? Don’t looting? They will hunt for the spoils, and these are the spoils that I have prepared for them." Zelin looked at being taken. Materials moved into River Valley City: "I hope the people of the tank will be satisfied."

"Zelin, go take a look. According to you, time is urgent, and I don't have enough time to get you a second batch of such materials."

"No problem." Zelin nodded. Suddenly, he thought of another thing: "Wait, this is what you prepared in advance? I never knew that Baihuagu still produces such goods?"

"There is a market for all kinds of goods..." Francesca chuckled awkwardly: "Of course, this kind of plan that has not been discussed will not necessarily be implemented, so there is only this one. Okay, let’s stop talking about these things. After the war is won, we have enough time to have a good chat. Altariel, can you help me get familiar with the situation here, there will be a meeting tomorrow? War, I must figure out what is going on."

"This..."

"It's okay, River Valley City is right in front of you." Francesca put her hand on the shoulder of the elf ranger: "He won't leave us for a while. He was affected by the ring far south, and now I don't know where it is. If it is. A ring can affect a determined demon hunter in such a remote place, then I am afraid I have to reassess the risks of this world."

Upon seeing this, Alta Real could no longer object: "I will pay attention." She said: "I hope it is what you said."

"I'm waiting for you in River Valley City." Before leaving, Zelin never forgot to tell: "Enid, don't let your people come to River Valley City. You don't need them to defend the city. I don't want your people to be impossible. Sacrifice in the victorious battle."

"Actually, if you can give me a few more days to prepare, you may be able to defend the city walls." Francesca said: "Remember the war that Hensett invaded Fogan four years ago? Sabina used Mel The fire of Ka'a destroyed thousands of soldiers on the battlefield. Originally, her strength was not enough to support such a scale of spells, but she could do it if her colleagues in the Sorceress Assembly provided her with magic power. If I could transport Some chaotic magic amulets and artifacts go to River Valley City and store them in an inverted triangle magic circle. Maybe then I can also pour flames on the heads of the chariot people. There is no magic in the air at all, otherwise I don’t need those at all. Reserve something magical."

"How long do you need to prepare?"

"It is conservatively estimated for three days. Judging from the level of magic, Middle-earth is too barren, and there is no magic at all."

"Then first, let's follow the plan we have said." Zelin sighed: "But you can also prepare. Maybe it will come in handy in the future. Hurry up, we must before the sun rises tomorrow. After all this is done, the chariot people are advancing quickly on the plains, and they won’t wait for us to get it right before attacking."

Chapter 2481: Night Talk

After Zelin left, Francesca walked to the side of the road, looked at the moon in the sky, turned her back to Alta Riel, and seemed to be suddenly interested in moonlight and night.

"This is indeed a good place. There are so many treasures and gold." She took a deep breath: "I have to thank Zelin for getting so many gold and diamonds here, precious treasures, so that I can get a lot of it. There are more possibilities for changes in the plan, as well as its current success. My people have never recognized gold in monetary value in the past. They regard gold and gemstones more as decorations on handicrafts. Sometimes I am not only thinking, If my people searched for gold and jewelry, occupied mines and dangerous areas before humans came to this land, and then intermarried with humans on the other side of the Blue Mountains to multiply more people, maybe we are still the masters of the world, not A surviving bereaved family hiding in a valley."

"You should move." Altariel said, "colonize elsewhere."

"Yes, I've been thinking this way. Baihua Valley may develop into the most prosperous country in the north, but its land is destined to have an upper limit for this kingdom." Francesca sighed lightly: "But I think, If there is a portal, and Zelin will help me find the way and contact, my country may not be limited to borders in the sense of space."

Alta Reall narrowed his eyes slightly: "In this case, you almost broke with him?"

"That's not a rupture, that's..." Francis paused: "It was a misunderstanding caused by too little communication. How do I know a demon hunter who doesn't live in my own world all year round? , So deeply involved with the Tamorian royal family?"

"But maybe he didn't think that way?" Altariel asked again: "After he returned from that place called Azeroth, there were a lot of people around him."

"...He is just subconsciously taking revenge on me." Francesca rubbed her forehead: "In the past, he wouldn't have **** with other women as easily as that time. Okay, I think Before I talk about these things, I have something to confirm." The wizard sorcerer took two deep breaths to ease the irritability in his tone: "I don't understand. As far as I know, you have also put on that ring. If someone needs to come. Watching Zelin, that shouldn't be you either. Moreover, Zelin wearing the ring has not been completely affected. If my understanding is correct, you will be controlled after wearing the ring for too long. Compared to Zelin In other words, shouldn't you be the one being monitored?"

After a few seconds of silence, the elf warlock asked, "So, I want an answer. Is this really an order? Or do you want to do this?"

Alta Reall breathed out gently, then slowly said: "There is only one ring that affects Zelin and me. If the ring affects me and him, we will definitely not join hands to win the ring, we will each other In the fight, only one person can get the ring. Once the ring affects us, we can't grab the ring, because someone will stabbing the knife from the back. If I am affected, he can kill me, and he is affected... ...Maybe I can’t kill him, but I can warn other people before I die, or cause him trouble so that he can’t get the ring back. So, it’s only the threat to Middle-earth when we are together. The smallest. No one knows the harbinger of being controlled by the ring better than I, and so does he."

"It turned out to be so." Francesca smiled: "Then let's go, you can talk to me about the preferences and characteristics of the local dwarves, as well as the fighting methods of the chariot people. My commander needs to know this. . Oh, yes, are the others still in Lonely Mountain?"

"You mean the helper brought by Zelin? Only a woman named Altea commanded the army in Gushan."

"Um...I understand." Francesca nodded thoughtfully: "Well, it's time to go, it's not early."

When everyone carried the materials to the empty warehouse in River Valley City, the sun had already illuminated the horizon. Zelin also deliberately arranged a warehouse, disguised as if he had not had time to remove everything, and dropped some gold coins on the ground, as if he had fallen out of the package when he fled in a panic.

Zelin looked at all the ready-made warehouses with satisfaction. The wine with poison was in a conspicuous place on the other side of the warehouse, so that the intruders could find it: "Okay, you go and rest." He bends to a few people on the side. The soldier with his waist and his hands on his knees said: "Take a good rest, relax your body, and regain your strength. When the battle begins, there will be more difficult times."

"Resting? Your sir, the enemy may appear at any time." A soldier with a cocked hat asked strangely: "Shall we all rest?"

"Yes, go." Zelin waved his hand urgingly: "When I find the enemy, I will inform you, remember to keep the armor and weapons by your side, and you can gather them in place within 15 minutes. "

These are all militiamen, Zelin does not expect them to have much combat effectiveness. In the Black Man Temple, the real defense against the enemy is the most elite guards of the Golden Palace. The perception of professional soldiers and enlisted citizens is not just a question of the length of the military mentor.

When Francesca came to the valley, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.

On the broad city wall, only Ze Lin stayed on it. River Valley City is more dependent on the existence of lone mountains, and today's River Valley still continues the tradition of the past. They only have a small number of guards. Once they are invaded, they will recruit citizens to join the army and fight alongside the army of dwarves in the lonely mountain. Lonely Mountain Dwarves provide River Valley City with sophisticated equipment and armor. Even if they are recruited, they can also have an advantage in equipment against half-orcs after being fully armed.

Therefore, in the face of a strong attack, the River Valley City Wall is of little significance, because the River Valley does not have enough soldiers to defend every section of the city wall. The last time Azog attacked the river valley, Bud led the militia. In the narrow alleys, relying on the commanding heights and arrow towers in the city, he defended layer by layer until the orcs were defeated.

"Are you all ready?" Francesca walked to Zelin: "I rarely witness the war in another world with my own eyes."

"Better never go through the war yourself." Zelin shook his head: "Wars have never had a good result. What about Altariel?"

"She's here to be Toruvill's guide." Francesca rubbed her fingers and smeared red ointment on her nails: "You don't want my soldiers to act, but you don't know this at all. How should the road go."

"How do you convince her?" Zelin was a little surprised: "She has always been stubborn."

"Stubborn people just haven't got the results they want." Francesca Yoyo said: "Or the point of view he insisted on has not been recognized, nothing more."

Chapter 2482: Invisible War

The sun rises from the east, and black shadows gush out from the horizon.

"They're here." Zelin narrowed his eyes slightly and exhaled slowly: "It's earlier than expected."

The first thing that appeared was a torrent that dyed the horizon black. With his back to the sun, he crossed the hills on the edge of the plain outside the valley, and down the hills, like a flood from a bank burst, into the basin.
