The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"Zelin, come here, come here." Talion beckoned to him. "If the orcs really catch the leader of the Norn, we must find a way to rescue her."

The demon hunter and Talion walked up the stairs and proceeded eastward along the city wall. One by one, the rangers ran out of the tower and stood in front of the battlements. Someone dragged the heavy wooden box, lifted it, and piled it behind the city wall. Commands and footsteps were mixed together, and it was not until Zelin walked into their castle on the wall that these sounds disappeared behind with the sound of closing the door.

The tower of the fortress is huge, just like this pass. In the towering tower, you must lift your head to the limit to see the dome. Three rangers are surrounding a wooden table, and a yellow and faded map is spread on the table, and their fingers are pointing on the map. One of them raised his head when he heard the sound of pushing the door, just in time to see the three people walking in.

"Talion." A ranger with curly hair in a gray shawl walked over. "It's time for you to come back, we may be in trouble."

"I heard, Mike." Talion shook hands with his colleagues. "But, I might bring you a worse news."

"The dark savages are going south to attack us?" Mike smiled. "Ah, they still can't learn the lesson. I saw you brought two people here. Today is not a good time to visit, don't you tell me about it?"

"Not those savages."

"Then how many bad things can be so surprising to you?"

Talion shook his head, he turned around, and reached out to Zelin. "This is Zelin, from Luo Khanate, let him talk to you."

"Rohan?" Mike shifted his gaze from Talion to Zelin, and he looked up and down Zelin. "You don’t look like Rohan Hussein? Is it the news that King Hiurdon will bring? Of course, if Rohan’s people are willing to come to the Black Gate and become rangers, we also welcome it. But I believe you are not here. Join us, otherwise Talion will tell me that this is a good thing."

"Indeed." Ze Lin took a deep breath. "We need help, the orcs kidnapped the leader of the Norn."

Chapter 1687: Ranger Traveler

When Zelin finished speaking, the three rangers at the battle table looked at each other. They looked at each other, and they all saw the incredible in each other's eyes.

"I know this is unbelievable. You may be thinking why the leader of the Norn was kidnapped and taken away in the Khanate of Rohan. That's because before, Queen Marvin of Norn went to Isengard to seek the wizard Saruman. Help. But there are traitors among the Norns, and everyone has been betrayed. The orcs ambush us near Seyvold. We have killed many orcs, but there are too many of them, and there are wolves. We. I couldn't stop them, so I could only chase them all the way to Mordor."

Zelin told the rangers all the things he could say. Along the way, he could see that the Black Gate seemed to be threatened by the orcs assembled in the Udon area. He didn't want some concealed or ambiguous statements to make the rangers doubt or misunderstand his words. Sometimes, the impression of the first meeting is very important. If these people come up and feel doubted and distrusted of him, it is undoubtedly very difficult to reverse their opinions or convince them to believe in themselves later. The warriors on the front line would not believe the words of a stranger so much, just as the demon hunter would be suspicious of any words describing monsters.

Mike walked up to Zelin, and he held out his finger. "Where was the last time you noticed those orcs?"

"North of Isilion." Zelin said without hesitation. "At that time, we had just walked over the edge of the death swamp."

"You cross the death swamp?"

"Yes, we spent two days walking along the southern edge of the swamp."

"It's impossible, even the savages in the dark land dare not step into the swamp, because no one can get out of the swamp alive."

"That's because they didn't find the way." Zelin recalled the grunting words they kept muttering as they walked through the death swamp. "Finding a suitable path can avoid ghost fires and ghosts in the swamp quagmire. A creature called Gollum helped me with this. It said it lives near Mordor."

"Where is it?"

"Run, in fact, when our ranger friend showed up, it was scared away."

With confused expressions on the faces of the two rangers, Talion waved his hand.

"There are all kinds of creatures in Mordor, and it is normal to have one or two creatures that we don't know. The most important thing now is, what are the orcs planning to do? They want to kidnap Queen Marvin and force the Norns to surrender to the orcs? Or do they intend to use this to drive the pirates to attack the Black Gate?" Talion placed his hand on the map and drew a line from Isilion to Udon. "It's not a coincidence. These orcs appeared near Mordor, and a large number of orcs appeared at the foot of Uton Mountain. What do these orcs want to do?"

"I guess they will start fighting over which tribe eats how much meat before deciding whether to attack tomorrow." said a ranger. "Just like they did before, they tried to launch similar attacks on the black gate more than ten times in the past, and each time they hit the black gate wall with blood and blood, or because their kings fell out with each other. Fight with each other."

"This time there are far more orcs than ever before, Kroll, we can't take it lightly." Mike shook his head and walked back to the map again. "Talion, we need to gather all our forces. If we can, we can investigate the movement of the orcs. The outermost ones are the orcs of the desperate tribe. They are very powerful. If they have the tendency to dominate other orcs and cause some trouble, we still More preparation time is needed. Also, let your son not be so excited. He has been standing on the highest platform of the city wall this afternoon, standing on the outermost periphery. I bet that if no one stops him, let him be alone. He will not hesitate to rush into the orcs."

"I will."

"Wait, wait." Zelin stepped forward. "You said, what tribe did the orcs assembled in Udun come from?"

"The desperate tribe, a very dangerous tribe of orcs, used to haunt Silisango."

"Is this?" Zelin took out a dirty rag and spread it out. The dye on the cloth has faded, but it is vaguely visible that there is a fist drawn to the sky painted with white powder.

"Yes, but..."

"They kidnapped Marvin," Zelin said eagerly, his eyes scanning the rangers. "I killed some of the orcs and tore this sign from an orc. They are gathering in Udun, right? These are the orcs of the desperate tribe?"

This is a surprise for the demon hunter.

If the orcs who kidnapped Marvin and the orcs assembled in Udun are from the same tribe, they are under the same king. Then these orcs are likely to join other people of the same race in the Udun area after entering Mordor.

"Wait, don't you think..." The third ranger walked around the table and walked to Zelin. "Take the initiative and go to the foot of Udon Mountain to rescue Marvin?"

"Of course, how can I miss such a good opportunity? Those orcs caught Marvin and fled all the way to Mordor under my chase. Now that they meet with the same clan, they will breathe a sigh of relief and relax, but this time it is. The best chance." Zelin's gaze crossed the rangers and placed them on the map behind them. The yellowed paper marked the detailed terrain of Mordor. Zelin marked many places on the map obtained by River Valley City, but Mordor was blank.

"Oh... this plan sounds feasible." Mike rubbed the tip of his nose. "I must admit that judging a person's origin by clothes is not suitable for you. Your clothes are like those of Harad, but your bravery will definitely admire any hussar, brave Luo Sweaty."

"I'm from the north, River Valley City, where the lord is Bain, son of Bard."

"Well, brave northerner." Mike shrugged. "I appreciate your courage, but we can't help you, even if the orcs have the leader of the Norn. I think the best way now is to wait for the orcs to launch an attack. After we fight them back, they will Because the morale and conflict broke out and fell apart, we can take advantage of them to transfer Queen Marvin and lie in ambush on the road. If you want, you can stay or leave temporarily. War is about to start here, we know The news of Queen Marvin will not sit idly by."

"Well, if you welcome us, I'm very happy." Zelin rubbed his forehead. "But it's not me who wants to stay."

"What do you mean?" Virginia on the side asked Zelin when she heard it.

But Zelin didn't answer directly, he continued to speak to the ranger. "I need information about the Udun area, the orcs, and the distribution of the castles, where is their base camp, and how many camps are the remaining orcs."

"Are you going tonight?" Talion asked.

"Yes." Zelin nodded. "I said, tonight is the best opportunity."

It's not just that the orc squad that just got rid of the demon hunter's pursuit may be slack. According to the rangers, the desperate tribe orcs outside the Black Gate are preparing to attack. The Black Gate's defenses are strong enough. It is not easy for them to break through, so desperate. The king of the tribe may focus more on the black gate than on an old woman who is aging and frail and still tied up.

"No problem, you can get all the information we know." Mike nodded. "Talion, go find our map in Udon."

Talion turned and walked into the tower.

After the ranger walked away, Virginia grabbed Zelin. She lowered her voice as much as possible, but the demon hunter could still hear it, and if it wasn't for someone else nearby, she would definitely call it out. "What are you thinking, Zelin? Go to the orc camp alone? Throw me here?!"

"Virginia, listen to me."

"Don't use those boring excuses to prevaricate me!"

"Listen to me." Zelin repeated again, he held the mage girl's arm with both hands, looked directly into the other's eyes, and said seriously. "I may take risks sometimes, but I am definitely not a lunatic joking about my life. I will find a way to sneak into the enemy's camp, understand? Maybe I can sneak into the camp without causing the orcs to alert, but I don't have to. I can slip out without knowing it while carrying a person. So at this time I need someone who can cover me on the wall and wait for me to leave the camp. Yes, an insurance, once I I was found, someone can use magic to answer me."

Virginia looked at Zelin without refuting.

"Like we used to, I believe you can definitely help me."

She nodded and sighed softly.

"Well, be careful yourself. If there is any danger, come back immediately, and don't take the risk." She knew that compared with Zelin, she was not good at sneaking in. This kind of thing, she will only add to the chaos if she keeps up. "Come back as soon as possible, I will stare at the orc camp on the wall, if there is danger..."

"I will fire a flare into the sky, and you will throw flames at the orc camp."

"No problem, I remembered."

After discussing with Virginia, Zelin quickly waited for Talion who had returned with the map. The latter was holding a piece of parchment in his hand, and when he handed it to the demon hunter, Talion said.

"If you want to sneak into Udon, I will walk with you."
