The Journey of the Demon Hunter

The sound of sword-swinging and the roar of ghouls suddenly appeared in the ears, and the light of fire and the shadow projected on the wall flashed at the corner in front of the tunnel. Zelin was stunned for a moment, and immediately squeezed the hilt of the sword, bent down, and strode forward quickly. Before he walked over, a severed ghoul corpse flew out and slammed into the rock wall, splashing blood.

After a short pause before the corner, Zelin took a deep breath, and the muddy air with a slightly **** smell poured into his lungs. The next moment, he drew out the ebony blade and jumped out. Two ghouls were right in front of him, with their backs to it, shouting at the enemy directly in front. Zelin swung a sword to cut off the ghoul on the left. The other ghoul reacted. It just turned around. The demon hunter swung a sword backhand, and the ugly head flew out, and the fallen corpse twitched twice. Next, he was kicked out again, and hit the third ghoul in midair. The corpse and the ghoul fell to the ground together. Zelin walked over and pierced both with a sword.

On the other side, the figure attacked by the ghoul solved the last enemy, raised his sword and looked at the demon hunter, and then his eyes widened.

"Zelin?"

"Talion?"

"My God, why are you here?" Tarion dropped his shoulders and gasped. "You went to Norn, but there has been no news. I wanted to send people to Norn after summoning the staff. As a result, there were orc troops everywhere on the border of Norn... Why are you so surprised? What's wrong?"

"No, nothing..." Zelin rubbed the corners of his eyes to cover up his surprise.

Shiluo said that when Zelin met Talion, he persuaded him to go to Minas Ihir with him.

She got it? !

"What happened?"

"It's nothing, now Norn's situation is not very good. I have to go to Minas Ihir to request reinforcements from Gondor. I plan to cross the Shadow Mountains from here to the other side." Zelin said. Across his head, the little spider who led the way hid beside the nearby rock, waiting. "What about you, Talion, why are you here?"

"Remember the cave we were going to use as a temporary stronghold? I have gathered seven rangers and some banished people who are willing to join us. As a result, traces of ghouls appeared near the cave. I followed them here, intending to Destroy their lair." Tarion lowered his head and kicked the corpse on the ground: "These little things are in groups and like to steal food. Are you going to Minas Ihir?"

"Yes."

"Do you know the way?"

"Almost. Marvin, Queen of the Coast, told me this way." Zelin said casually. "However, haven't your headquarters been affected by spiders?"

"Spiders? No, they are many, but they are also very useful. In the tunnel covered by spider webs, we don't have to worry about the orcs appearing in that direction." Talion shook his head. "How far is it from the exit to Minas Ihir?"

"I think it's probably more than a day's journey."

"I'll go with you." Talion retracted the sword into its scabbard. "We have lost contact with Gondor for almost two months. The commander of Minas Ihir is General Kastamo. He has some influence in front of the Regent. If he can persuade him to help us in Mordor Fighting will be easier for us, and if this tunnel leads to the outside world, we can get a steady stream of supplies through this tunnel. Even for supplies, I have to explore this tunnel."

"Well... haven't you seen Celebrity?" Zelin asked suddenly.

"Elven Lord?" Talion showed a strange look. "No, I haven't seen him for a long time, what happened to him?"

"I saw him in Norn's time, and he said, I'm going to find you and discuss jointly forging a supreme lord of the ring to fight against Sauron." Zelin directly told Talion about Celebrity's thoughts. "I thought it had already seen you."

"No, in order to deal with these ghouls, I left Uton for almost a day. I originally planned to go back today, but now that I know there is a way to Minas Ihir, I plan to return in two days." Talion Shrugged. "Forging the Supreme Lord of the Rings against Sauron? The elves must have their ideas, but I must first find a way to fill the stomachs of those avoiding the orcs. Let's go, there are many people waiting for my news."

"You've been away for so long, won't there be a problem with Uton?"

"No, it shouldn't be. Hurgon and Torvin can handle things there. Especially Torvin, I must introduce you to you when I have the opportunity. This dwarf friend has done us a great favor."

Chapter 1722: The Siege of Minas Ihir

When Zelin fought the black knights in Norn, Talion also started his battle in the Udon area.

He found several rangers who successfully escaped from the Black Gate and ended up in Mordor. As expected, the exiles in the Udon area were also threatened by the orcs. Their leader died in battle, and is now led by a ranger named Helgon. Hergon used to be a ranger stationed at the Black Gate, serving the Black Gate loyally, but he fell in love with a banished woman named Irene and left at the risk of being executed.

In the end, love won, and the two of them got married. Hergon lived in the tribe of the exiles for almost a year. The people in the tribe were afraid of him, just as they did not like the Gondor. Until the orcs invaded, Hergon proved his supremacy. Value is finally accepted and respected by everyone. When Talion found him, he was leading the rest of the tribe, hiding in a cave to resist the orcs' raids. Talion helped him to evacuate the remaining people and sent Mordor from near the Black Gate to take refuge in Gondor, while Hergon and some exiled fighters decided to stay and help Talion.

As for another capable helper.

"Tolvin, he is a dwarf who came to Mordor to hunt and inspect the relics of the Numanel."

"Dwarf archaeologist?"

"You can think that, he never called himself that." Talion shrugged: "I see, he can't tell whether he is a hunter or an archaeologist. During Sauron's time, some valuable antiquities were left in Mordor. If they can be recovered and repaired, it will definitely help a lot."

"For example."

"This." Talion raised his hand. He shook his wrist. Accompanied by the sudden sound of the slight mechanism turning, two spikes suddenly popped out of the originally smooth wristband. Turned into a shield.

Zelin raised his eyebrows. Turning the brace into a shield can indeed have an unexpected effect. As long as the user knows the skills, any hidden weapon can have a good effect, and an emergency shield is more than just an extra one. Pieces of equipment are so simple.

"Very practical thing."

"More than that." Talion turned his hand over, revealing the Hidden Arrow hidden under the shield. "In combat, you only need to swing your wrist to shoot a crossbow, which is much more convenient than carrying a crossbow, especially when dealing with a group of orcs. Torvin said that he has determined where the Numanel relics are scattered. In the Lislade Desert of Mordor Oriental, waiting for him to find more valuable relics, he can add more interesting things to this small shield."

Zelin nodded: "I look forward to what this dwarf can do."

They traveled through the tunnel for about a day, and Zelin could only roughly estimate how far they had traveled. There is no concept of time in the dark cave. Demon hunters can only judge whether it is day or night outside by the light that they occasionally see from the cracks in the rock. If Shiluo’s spider controls these caves, then she can fully notice every stray grass in Mordor, and her webs extend to every corner of this land, maybe except for the evil black tower where Sauron is located. Where her spider can't go.

When the air in the tunnel suddenly became fresh, Zelin walked forward quickly. The little spider that had been walking in front got into the shadows, and the demon hunter and Talion stepped over the gravel and proceeded along the sloping upward tunnel. When the light appeared, Zelin raised his hand and turned his head to avoid the sun stinging his eyes in the cave for two days. The first thing that comes to my ears is the sound of the waterfall. The exit of the tunnel is in a valley, and a stream flows by the valley, then flies down on the edge of the cliff, and merges into the pool below. A few birds flew over the shrubs on the cliff and disappeared on the other side of the lush valley.

"Look there!"

Talion stood by the mountain road in front of the exit, and the winding road led to the bottom. Standing on the edge, he could just look at the bright white city in the distance. The city wall made of white marble envelops the city, and the uneven roof is like undulating hills surrounding the city center. In the center of the city, a white tower tens of meters high straight into the sky, reflecting in the bright sunlight. Below, like white jade, it reflects the dazzling dim light.

But Zelin couldn't appreciate the scenery in front of him. What flew past the tower was not a flock of birds, but a flaming drapery. Under the wall, it was not the laughter of the residents, but the cries of orcs fighting.

The city is burning!

"Damn... the orcs have already begun to attack!" Zelin sipped, and he couldn't tell whether he was angry because the orcs were a step late, or was unhappy because of the orcs being said again. Maybe this is nothing. Her spiders might have known what happened here and reported it to their owner. "They may have sent an army around the Shadow Mountains to attack Minas Ihir when they were attacking the Black Gate."

"They are surrounded and will not last long." Talion pointed to the distant city. Orcs crowded under the wall. The overseer drove the slaves and pushed the siege hammer to attack the city gate. The orcs who raised their shield followed the siege. Hammer, resist the arrows that keep shooting from the wall. The guards noticed the siege hammer and began to switch firepower. The siege hammer was covered with wet animal skins, and it was difficult for arrows to ignite it. "We must rush over as soon as possible!"

"Yes." Zelin looked back at the dark and damp cave behind him with a complicated expression, then retracted his gaze and looked at Minas Isil. Many parts of the city were lit by rockets and slings thrown by the orcs, but the walls had not yet been breached, and the soldiers of Gondor resisted the enemies who tried to climb up. Houses and towers blocked the view, Zelin couldn’t see much, but he could see that Minas Isil had been besieged for a long time, and the orcs had not been able to break through the city wall. On the long bridge outside the city gate, some The destroyed siege equipment became a burning barricade. Obviously, just like other people’s descriptions of Minas Ihir, there are a lot of defenders in this city, which can not only rely on the walls to defend, but also rush out. , Destroyed the siege weapon by a surprise attack.

The siege must have lasted a long time, but why didn't Gondor send reinforcements?

The city walls on both sides of Minas Ihir are connected to the mountains. In front of the city gate is a steep cliff. The height of more than ten meters is enough to kill any unlucky person who accidentally falls. The swift river below the canyon, the long bridge connects the city with the valley outside, is the only passage. The orcs crowded on the bridge, holding their shields against the arrows thrown by the defenders. The defenders fought back bravely, but there were too many orcs. Whenever an orc fell, a new orc would replenish it with a shield.

The siege hammer hit the city gate. Suddenly, the demon hunter noticed that a group of Gondor soldiers held their shields and moved to the top of the city gate in a square formation. The next moment, a stream of flames erupted from behind the shield, like a waterfall flowing down. In the blink of an eye, the orc soldiers pushing the siege hammer from below were enveloped together with the siege equipment. The orcs behind them kept putting arrows, but the arrows were blocked by shields, or fell into two pieces on the battlements.

Flame?

The demon hunter opened his eyes wide.

The ignited orcs screamed and escaped from the place covered and ignited by the stream of flames. When the flames faded, only the lighted siege hammer was left in front of the city gate, burning with raging flames. The escaped orcs rushed to disperse the queue behind, and the soldiers of Gondor took the opportunity to stand up from behind the battlements and shoot arrows at the chaotic enemy army.

"Zelin?"

The demon hunter came back to his senses, and Talion had already walked up the mountain road, ready to follow this trail down the mountain to Minas Ihir. "What's the matter?"

"Nothing, I'm thinking about which way we should enter the city."

"Just follow the path the orcs walked." Tarion stretched out his finger and pointed to the smashed city gate: "Those orcs must have never imagined that we will kill them behind them. We must hurry, and I must not let them here. People were slaughtered like my brother in Black Gate."

Zelin took a deep breath and left the extra thoughts behind. "Yes, they won't, because we are here!"
