The Journey of the Demon Hunter

Licking the butter on her fingers, Virginia took out her handkerchief and wiped her hands and the corners of her mouth. She didn't know whether she decided to come here at the time, whether she wanted to help Zelin or compete with Gnaiya.

In any case, it can't be worse than Gnaya! She is just because of her natural talent. As long as she works hard enough, she can definitely catch up with her and even surpass her with the day-to-day study!

"Your Excellency."

Suddenly, another soldier appeared in front of the house. It is indeed not easy to find a building that hasn't collapsed in this city that has been ravaged by war for a long time, and Faramo still provides the best living environment and resting place for the wizards who assist them in their defense.

"What's the matter?" Virginia frowned slightly. "What's the news? Is the orc attacking again?"

"The army of orcs is gathering on the other side of the river, sir." The soldier bowed to Virginia. Her spells not only destroyed the half-orcs, but the restoration magic also saved many wounded. Today, her creatures among the Osgilius soldiers are almost comparable to Faramore, and are on a par with other veteran captains who have been fighting for many years: "Your Excellency Faramore sent me to ask you if you can discuss tactics and countermeasures. "

"No problem, I'm going now." Virginia drank again and moistened her throat: "Lead the way ahead, I'll follow you."

Faramore's headquarters was set up in a two-story building that collapsed in half by the river. The sentry on the second floor could directly look at the river and pass first-hand news to the commander below at any time.

In the headquarters, Virginia met an acquaintance.

"It's an honor to meet you again, wizard." Poromo's tired face showed a hearty smile: "It has been a long time since we separated near Rohan. I'm glad you will be here to help my little brother guard. Don't worry, he must be a lot easier with you."

"It's nice to see you safe and sound, Boromo." Virginia nodded and greeted: "You haven't returned for a long time, and many people are worried about you."

"Because there was another battle waiting for me before." Poromo said solemnly: "I rushed here immediately after the battle was over. The situation here does not look optimistic, the troops are too few."

"Father has not sent more soldiers." Faramo said: "Have you not seen your father in Baicheng? He will be very happy to see you. These days, he has been frowning and is unwilling to meet anyone."

"Not yet, but I will go to Baicheng, because we have to gather allies and reinforcements."

"There are no reinforcements here, Polomo." Faramo sighed, "I'm afraid Gondor will fight alone."

"No, my brother, the situation has changed." Poromo patted his brother on the shoulder and smiled confidently: "Gondo has reinforcements. We are not alone in facing the Dark Lord."

The 2492nd chapter Gang Duo asks for help

The news that Polommo returned to Gondor immediately spread to many Gondor camps, and the morale that had been sluggish was lifted. Almost every Gondor soldier believed that as long as Borom was there, they could turn the tide of the battle, turn defeat into victory, and drive the orcs to the east of the Anduin River as before and drive back to Mordor.

"Polomo is the hero of Gondor. Even if he faces tens of thousands of orcs, he will declare that he will drive his enemies back and call on people to follow in his footsteps. His existence is indispensable, Gondor You will not fall into despair due to the pressure of the army. But morale cannot determine everything. If you want to defeat the Dark Lord, you must have enough brave and strong soldiers."

Holding his magic wand, Gandalf stood in the courtyard outside the White City Palace, pacing back and forth. The ground is covered with neat white slate tiles. A beautiful fountain is dancing in the morning light, surrounded by a green garden, but in the center, near the water, stands a dead tree. The dark gray tree trunk is incompatible with the white courtyard, like a touch of a complete artwork. Flaws.

There are four guards beside the dead tree, wearing black clothes and black armor, and the sides of the towering helmet tips are decorated with lines like seabird feathers. They kept their eyes open and turned a blind eye to the visitors who appeared in the courtyard, as if guarding the dead trees was everything in life.

"Who will come to help Gondor?"

Virginia sits on a bench and casts her curious eyes on them from time to time. She doesn't know what's going on, but she no longer expresses curiosity about these strange behaviors. Different worlds have different customs and habits. And beliefs. Sometimes, these beliefs and customs are really weird to outsiders. However, in Zelin's castle, just by faith, she has seen believers who don't know how many should be called heretics.

Polomo first arrived at Osgilias, he was very concerned about the river defense and the battle between Gondor and the orcs during the time he was away. After learning that the line of defense was temporarily safe, he immediately set off to return to Minas Tirith and reported the situation and safety to his father, the regent of Gondor, Dinese. So Faramo stayed in Osgilius and continued to guard the town, while Virginia dropped in to Minas Tirith between the battles. In addition to hoping to have a rest, find a hotel to take a shower and change into clean clothes, she also heard the rumors that Gandalf and two Hobbits had arrived in Gondor.

Many people are talking about the battle of Rohan. On the first day of entering the camp of Faram, she learned from the scouts that King Thieudon of Rohan was fighting against the betrayal white-robed wizard Saruman, and the Luen took the opportunity to invade the kingdom of Rohan. Knowing that Gandalf was from Rohan, she couldn't wait to find out what happened to Rohan and the whereabouts of Zelin.

"Rohan will definitely come. He is the strongest ally of Gondor. If Rohan is there, fighting against Mordor will surely get twice the result with half the effort. Hiurdon won a big victory, Isengard has been defeated, and I interrupted. With Saruman’s staff, Sauron could not find an ally in the West in a short time, and Rohan can also assemble enough troops to help Rohan." Gandalf touched his beard down to his chest: "No The humans in the Ennei Sea are led by Queen Marvin and are stationed in the southern coastal area. Perhaps they would be willing to join Gondor, but they need someone to convince her. When they were in danger, Gondor did not lend a helping hand, that There are thousands of people in the tribe, and there can be more than a thousand soldiers who are brave and good at fighting."

"I remember her." Virginia said, "I may be able to persuade her. I hope she will help Minas Tirith in the battle because of the fact that Zelin and I helped her. Rivendell has seen the map, aren’t there only Rohan people near Gondor, right?"

"The Doamlos have been in the south of Gondor, fighting the Umbal pirates. I know the current Prince Doamlos, Imrahir is Dineth’s cousin, and Borom and Faramo are him. His nephew. He will definitely fight Mordor to the last moment, but I don’t know if he has enough strength to assist Gondor." Gandalf said solemnly: "Under Sauron’s order, everyone who works for him will It has already been gathered. The battle line may not stop at Gondor. The enemy will attack everywhere, but Gondor is undoubtedly the most important."

"I thought Queen Marvin and the people she swept down were pirates." Virginia said dryly: "I remember in the past, she mentioned pirates. So the pirates were also the ones who played for Sauron?"

"If you must find a suitable word to describe the humans of Umbal, then the pirates are undoubtedly the most suitable. They serve for Sauron. There is no doubt that the pirates will try to break through the defenses of the Anduin Delta, along the river. And attacked Minas Tirith. The port of Haronde was on the southeast side of Minas Tirith. When Osgilias was under attack, the fish port had no defenders at all." Gandalf stopped. Footsteps, squinting his eyes slightly. Standing on the palace platform at the highest point, you can directly look at the flames of the apocalypse erupting from Mordor in the distance. In the distant horizon, the dark clouds are filled with blood-red flames: "...The enemy has begun to attack, leaving us time Not much."

"What? The enemy attacked?"

Virginia stood up, she followed Gandalf's gaze and looked into the distance. The ruins of Osgilias are scattered on both sides of the river, where you can directly see the Gondor front line: "...I have not seen anything, except for the Doomsday Volcano, which has always been active."

"The volcano begins to erupt. This is the signal of Sauron's attack. When the dark clouds cross the river, it is the moment when the enemy is pouring out."

Suddenly, the gate of the palace behind the square was pushed open, and Polomo strode out, with anger and incomprehension on his face.

Gandalf turned around and watched Polomo approaching them: "What did His Highness Dinese say?"

"He is very angry." Poromo sighed, his face full of anxiety and disbelief: "I have never seen him act like this. He accused me of not bringing him what he wanted. I told him that after going through Rivendell’s journey, I only learned one thing, that is, the Supreme Lord of the Rings must never fall into the hands of humans, let alone enter Gondor. If the Supreme Lord of the Rings appears in the court of Gondor Here, then this war has not yet started, and Gondor is about to fall! Humans cannot resist the temptation of the Supreme Lord of the Rings, no one can. That is Sauron’s weapon, no matter how powerful it is, it will only fight for Sauron , That was never mortal. The only thing we can do is prevent the Lord of the Ring from falling into Sauron’s hand before it is swallowed by despair, and defeat it before he snatches the ring and has more power."

"What do you say about the reinforcements?" Virginia asked.

"My father didn't ask about the reinforcements. He wanted to recruit more loyal and stronger warriors, and seek him a weapon that can turn the tide of the battle." Poromo said sadly: "I almost thought of being almost exalted at the time. The bewitching look of the Lord of the Rings. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Frodo wanted to escape from me. But I can’t escape Gondor, let alone leave when my father needs me. Mislanda, what can you do more? Is it a wise suggestion?"

"Gondor must seek reinforcements, otherwise he will be defeated." Gandalf said. He looked around and lowered his voice: "Light the beacon and Rohan will rush to support."

"It takes my father's order to light the beacon." Poromor shook his head: "Without his warrant, no one can approach the beacon tower."

"Where are Pipin and Meili?" the white robe wizard suddenly asked.

"Pipin swears allegiance to my father, and Meri, he didn't do it. They are now in the lower hotel, resting like guards." Polom frowned: "You don't want the hobbit to slip away. Enter the beacon? It’s impossible. Father’s guards stay with them all the time. Not to mention the beacon is heavily guarded. Even the wood on the bonfire must be checked for moisture at any time, so as not to be ignited quickly at important moments."

"Can you tell me where the beacon is?" Suddenly, Virginia on the side stretched out a finger: "If there is a pile of dry wood on the beacon... just light it. Right?"

Chapter 2493: Burning Beacon

Minas Tirith is located at the foot of the White Mountains and backed by the cliff. At the highest point of the mountain, there is a tall tower carved with white marble. The top of the tall tower is stacked with dry wood. Only a long bridge can pass the beacon. The long bridge can only allow one adult to pass, and one soldier stands on the long bridge to ensure that no one can enter the beacon tower without permission.

"How is the situation here? Has anyone been guarded?" Polomo stood at the other end of the long bridge and talked to the guards on the long bridge: "Have you noticed any unusual situations recently?"

"No, my lord." The guard saluted Poromo, but still stood on the long bridge conscientiously: "As usual, I and four other companions will guard this place and will leave when we get together. We will promise. Every second there is a pair of eyes staring at the bridge deck. If you have the Prime Minister’s order on your body, you can go to the beacon to check it."

"No, I just want to understand the situation." Poromo waved his hand: "The situation is getting worse and worse. I want to make sure that all soldiers, all catapults and arrow towers are in combat."

When Polomo was talking with the soldiers, in the path under the watchtower, Virginia, holding the wand in both hands and carrying the rock, walked carefully to the place under the watchtower.

Gondor is divided into seven layers, layered on top of each other, with the king's palace at the highest point. As a result, the roofs of some houses may not be as high as the gate rails of others. Residents on the upper floor can see the top of the lower tower when they walk out of the gate. The higher you go, the smaller the height difference between the different layers. This is the highest floor of Gondor. Maybe Virginia can't go up to the watchtower, but in the courtyard near the king's palace, due to the relationship of Borom, She can also walk around at will.

She is not good at sneaking, but this kind of thing doesn't need sneaking at all. In a world with only five foreign wizards, no one knows how much a real wizard can do.

Raising the wand and aiming at the watchtower, Virginia made a simple gesture.

At dusk, the setting sun casts a warm light, and the towers and buildings cast deep shadows towards the east. On both sides of the narrow road were towering spires and attic towers, and Pipin felt that his neck was about to break.

"Merry, why are you so angry? I think it's the right thing to do." He walked quickly behind his friend and shouted at Meili's back: "Hi, wait for me!"

"You have become a castle guard, why follow me?" Meili stopped and turned around: "Look at what you are doing? You didn't think about anything at all, and you just made a decision!"

"What does it matter?" Pipin spread out his hand: "At the time, Polomo helped us solve so many orcs by the river. Now his city is in danger, I also want to help him by fighting. "

"We can’t stay in Gondor, Pipin! Don’t forget, we came to Gondor because Frodo, Sam, and Bilbo may appear here. They may be on the opposite side of the river. Many inside, we may need our support at any time. At that time, we might fight in more places." Meili waved his hand vigorously: "Not just staying in Gondor. If the regent and my friends here When there is a conflict, I will definitely help my friend. But you have already sworn to him, can you still not keep the oath?"

"Aren't we all fighting against the Dark Lord?" Pipin scratched his head unclearly, "What's the difference? Gandalf told me that impassioned behavior should not be hindered by cold logic."

"Well, maybe it doesn't make a difference." Meili rolled his eyes: "I'm going to rest, you go on duty, castle guard. When you have afternoon tea, I will prepare a plate of bread for you."

After all, Meri strode into the room and slammed the door. The rising wind moved Pipin's curly hair and cloak hem.
