The Journey of the Demon Hunter

On the steps of Baicheng, Virginia carried her skirt and ran to the top platform in small steps.

I hate these meaningless steps. Virginia thought. In the future, I must add transmission channels in the tower.

Wiping the drops of sweat off her forehead, Virginia exhaled slowly. In the direction on the left hand side, five servants carrying torches, grease, and firewood were walking slowly. They lowered their heads and covered their hoods, and the shadows blocked their faces. The leader turned and walked towards the palace, everything was quiet, as if the battle below had nothing to do with the above.

"Merry, here!"

Pipin, who was held by the two guards, waved to Meri: "Here! They are going to set fire!"

"Stop." Virginia shouted to the others, striding over to the servant who was holding the oil tank and wood. "Do you understand what you are doing?"

"This is an order from Your Majesty the Regent." A servant turned around and bowed obediently to Virginia. The people in Gondor basically knew what Virginia had done in Osgilius. The Anduin River Defense Line is very close to Minas Tirith, and the ruined city can be seen from the wall. When half-orcs attack the defensive line, there will be new news every day. Of course, there is no lack of wizards using magic to destroy the enemy: "If the king summons you, please go to the palace to meet. If not, the king does not want to see you today. See anyone."

"What exactly is your leader going to do?"

The servants didn't mean to stop, and turned a deaf ear to Virginia's humiliation: "The eight holy spirits are up, are you trying to burn what everyone is protecting?"

The servants didn't speak, they walked straight to the stairs and walked along the stairs into the gate. The gate of the palace is open, but there is no light inside. The dark clouds are densely covered. The volcanic clouds from Mordor have blocked the sky of Baicheng. On the heavy skylights on both sides of the palace, the painted window paintings turned gloomy under the gloomy sky. Terrible. There is no brazier or candle in the palace, and only the dry pale candle tears remain on the candlestick.

"Another wizard, a wizard full of lies and conspiracies came to my palace." Dineser's cold voice came from the palace: "Are you going to announce your ridiculous and boring words of hope again? There is no loyal one. Generals and strong soldiers, without powerful weapons, what can we use to fight Mordor? I used to believe in wizards, stupidly sending my children to die, and now they are all in the hands of wizards. It's Gandalf Are you here? What does he want? Because I'm worried that I will destroy his ranger's treasure? Stop comforting me with that stupid last hope! That has failed, the Dark Lord found it, and his power begins Enhance, he can know our thoughts, everything we do is in vain!"

Virginia's face pursed her lips red, staring at the palace in front of her, her face flushed with anger. With the help of the light on the square, she could vaguely see Dinace sitting in the deepest part, hiding inside.

"You can't do this, Lord!" Meili shouted.

"I use magic to protect the soldiers and the city here. How can you suspect me like this?" Virginia vacated her right hand, and only left her left hand with a wand, as if holding a spear: "You can't do this. , King Dineser, you can't ruin all this while others are fighting, can you?"

"I won't listen to any shamans anymore! Loyal servants, drive her out!"

Dineser waved his hands vigorously, and several servants drew out short swords, holding a torch in the other hand, and surrounded Virginia. Meili also drew out the dagger around his waist and looked at the Dinese servant who was approaching him vigilantly.

"Excuse me, I won't let you do this." Virginia, who was standing next to Meili, looked at them calmly: "If one of you falls, just lie on the ground and don't cause other people any more trouble. , Okay?"

The two servants stretched out their hands to grab them, and then, accompanied by a sharp scream, lightning shot from between Virginia's fingers. The three servants tried to pounce on Virginia from behind, but she flicked her hand back, and the three enemies were struck by an electric arc in mid-air, like being struck by a whip, and fell beside her boots. The body was twisted in pain.

The two guards who grabbed Pipin let go of the Hobbit and raised their spears towards Virginia. But Virginia just stretched her hand forward, a simple lightning chain hit them, and the guard was hit by the impact of the spell, flew back, and fell into the bushes beside the stairs.

Chapter 2517: The Horn of Hope

"Pipin!"

Meili hurried to his friend. After just a few breaths, Dineser's servant could only lie on the ground, moaning and wailing.

"Hurry up to the palace!" Pipin grabbed the saber of a comatose servant next to him: "They had prepared firewood in the palace just now, and they also ordered the guards of the holy tree to search the streets of the dead. To the streets of the mausoleum, you can't let them do it!"

"Don't worry." Virginia carried her wand and stepped up the steps. She has learned something from Tisaya and Francesca, no matter how safe the environment is, the last bit of magic must be preserved. Even if these magic can be used to help many people, it must be in the magic for safety. Stop before you run out. No one knows where the enemy might attack from. Just like an hour ago, she couldn’t have imagined that when the shadow of the orcs outside the city approached the city wall, another force had already invaded the city: "I will solve it. He. Stay here and don't let anyone approach the white tree outside."

Pipin and Meri raised their heads, looked at Virginia, and nodded in a bewilderment, before stepping back two steps, standing in the doorway, leaning their heads at the courtyard while looking into the palace interior.

"You transferred the guard of the sacred tree, and you want your servant to destroy this place and bury it for you?" Virginia held the staff, the gem on the top of the staff gleamed: "Your behavior is too selfish. King Dineser. When everyone in the city needed you, you chose to commit suicide and destroy so many precious artworks and sacred saplings."

In the palace, the remaining servants of Dineser stood on both sides of the throne, waiting for new orders. Virginia's gaze swept over them, wondering why there was a sudden burst of anger in her heart. She didn't understand why this group of people would be like this, and still obey a crazy monarch in the name of loyalty when the disaster is approaching.

"When will the King of Gondor begin to be responsible to you? When will Gondor obey the wizard's words?" Dinether raised his head arrogantly: "Can't I command my servant? What do you know, wizard? ? If I can’t keep Gondor, if Gondor must fall into the hands of wizards and demons, I would rather burn it to ashes."

"Why don't you go to the bedroom, lie on the bed, close your eyes, and then sleep? Oh, I am afraid that the Holy Spirit will not be able to bless someone like you to sit on the throne." It lifted forward: "I hope you will be more awake when you wake up. Maybe, when you hear the news that Polomma brings you victory, your mental state will be better."

Dineser suddenly laughed. He suddenly took out a translucent ball from his arms and held it in front of him with his hands: "Escape, when your rhetoric cannot deceive me, there is only escape. !"

"Palantir!" Pipin shouted. At Isengard, he saw Gandalf put away such a crystal ball: "It's the Palantir of the devil!"

When Dinese lifted the true-knowing spar, flames appeared in the spar, reflecting Dinese's thin face, like a carved plate, cruel and ruthless.

The fire of the Zhenzhi spar became the only light source in the palace, casting the shadows of nearby stone pillars on the nearby walls, dotted with the motionless figures of servants in robes.

"Stupid wizard, do you think Evil Black Tower's eyes are blind? No, I know more than everyone of you! Only ignorant people will be full of hope, go to fight, use your magic, go Kill more orcs! Maybe you can achieve a temporary victory and live for a few days, but to fight against this rising force? We have no chance of winning. The whole East is dispatched, and the whole world is working for Sauron. , But the crowd in the corner of the Anan corner pretends that they can fight against such an army!"

Pipin covered his ears in pain, and the flames in the spar seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, and the flames seemed to have emerged from the spar, about to engulf the entire room. Meili on the side was also covering her ears, bending down in pain. Dineser's voice became louder and louder, like an echo in the flames.

"The gray-robed wizard wants to gain the entire world. He wants to rule the West, the South, the East, and the North, so he stirred his lips and tongue in various places, beating these people to fight each other, and then appear as sages and wise men in exchange for their trust. ! Tell me, what did Gandalf promise you? After he succeeds, which piece of land will be entrusted to you? Do you think I can't guess your conspiracy? First send a spy into my hall, and then let A wizard went to confuse my son and make them turn against me!"

Dineser's voice was full of hatred and anger. His roar echoed in the red palace.

"Come here! If you are not traitors!" Dinese yelled: "I order you to bring a torch, raise the oil tank, rush out, and ignite everything you can see! My blood will be cut off from now on, Prime Minister Gondor The family will also end from then on, the human royal family will fall under the rule of the untouchables, and in the end we will all be exterminated. Let the flames destroy everything!"

Dineser's voice pierced Meili's head like a sharp needle, causing him to have a splitting headache, and it was like iron nails piercing his ears. No matter how he covered it, the voice could be heard clearly. He closed his eyes tightly, and as long as he opened his eyes, there was only one burning eye in his sight, as if the whole world was engulfed by this flame pupil.

Suddenly, in the rumbling echo, he heard a crisp sound.

Opening his eyes, the flames had faded, Dinese staggered back several steps, tripped over the steps behind him, and immediately sat on the ground. Zhenzhi Spar had already gotten off and fell down, and beside Palantir, there was a white lens that looked like a six-pointed star. On the side, Virginia remained in a throwing position.

Losing Palantir, Dineser opened his eyes wide and stared at the spar rolling on the ground. Flames seemed to be coming out again, but Virginia's reaction was quick.

She dashed forward and threw a cloth bag casually to cover the spar. Instead of looking at the spar, she rushed straight to the regent.

Dineser subconsciously raised a hand and pointed it at Virginia, wanting to give an order. But the sudden swing of the Magnus rod made him swallow the rest of the words.

With a bang, Dineser fell limply on the stairs under the throne, he was not unconscious yet. Virginia held the wand, waved it down again, and slammed it on his temple fiercely.

The regent finally fainted.

Inside the palace, Dineser's servants stared at the scene in front of them in a daze. No one reacted. Someone rushed directly and brandished weapons to attack the regent.

"Protection King!"

I don't know who yelled, and the servants drew out short swords. Virginia turned around and placed her wand in front of her, as if holding a two-handed weapon, staring at the remaining servants vigilantly.

Meri and Pipin rushed to Virginia and faced her hostile servants of Dinether.

Chapter 2518: Bloody Battle with Pelanno

"Merry, protect it."

Virginia bent down, picked up the star of Azura, gently stroked the magic artifact with her palm, feeling the edges and corners of the pale six-pointed star: "Hide the spar, wrap it, and put it in a place where no one can find it. Place. Wait until the battle outside is over, and then leave it to someone who can handle it to judge what to do."

On the ground lay more than a dozen Dinese servants who had passed out in a coma. Virginia put the Star of Azura and the Staff of Magnus together. After a few seconds, a thin vague smoke floated from the magic artifact. On the wand, after a few seconds, the wand that had consumed a lot of power was recharged. Although there is no magic power that Virginia can use, this magic artifact can keep her wand in a charged state forever.

Meili and Pipin were standing around the true-knowing spar that was covered by a package.

"Shall we... want to put it here?" Pipin asked, pointing at it. The nearby Dineser servants fell to the ground motionless, just like their master.

"Of course." Meili put his hands behind his head, his face lightened: "Let's not touch it, this is not something we can pick up. What we have to do is to stay here, protect its safety, and wait for the real hero to return. , It’s up to those people to handle it."

Virginia walked out of the palace, leaving only the stunned guards and servants on the platform. She walked quickly to the edge of the platform and looked down with her hands on the edge of the stone wall of the guardrail.

An endless army of orcs still surrounds the city, and black waves continue to hit the city walls. The smoke from the rising flame obscured the sky, and the archers retreated to the second wall and the high tower between the two walls, shooting from top to bottom the enemies who climbed the wall. Although the number of half-orcs rushing up was small and they were gradually eliminated by the guards, the guards were no longer able to demarcate a safe area on the first wall for archers.

Several dark shadows hovered in the sky, and Virginia widened her eyes to look at the sky. Several dark shadows hovered over the orcs phalanx on the periphery of the city wall, and two dark shadows were near the city gate. A huge siege hammer was approaching the city gate, and the ring spirit and the orcs were on guard by the siege hammer. The bright white light shrank slightly at the gate of the city, it must be Gandalf.
