American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

However, these three ogres were different. For some unknown reason, they had gathered together without causing any conflict.

Just as Tom, the largest of the three ogres, was about to grab a human for a meal, Mike descended from the sky and chopped off its arm with a sword.

Then, using divine power, it lifted the freed human and gently placed him on the ground.

When Mike turned around again, he summoned two balls of hellfire and threw them at the one-armed ogre and another ogre that was nearly seven meters tall.

The hellfire raging from within seemed to scorch the souls of the ogres, causing them to collapse to the ground and wail in agony.

Even death is a luxury...

The humans who had been saved, seeing the miserable state of the two ogres, were not only not afraid, but some even showed expressions of pleasure.

"Demon, devil... don't kill me..."

However, this scene was utterly terrifying to the only remaining "small" ogre, Bot, who was only five meters tall.

He seemed to be terrified, threw down his weapon, and turned to run.

...and soon disappeared into the jungle.

"Alright, you're all safe now. I'll take care of the last ogre." After calming down the villagers who were experiencing emotional ups and downs, Mike chased after the last ogre.

Based on the situation, Mike had already recognized the three ogres as the same three that had captured the dwarves' group shortly afterward.

The names seem to be Bot, William, and Tom.

Now that William and Tom are dead, the reason for leaving Bot behind is naturally because Mike wanted to check out the lair of the three ogres.

If I remember correctly, there were chests of gold coins and gems there, as well as three elven swords forged by the ancient elves.

……

"I finally survived! Humans are terrifying!"

Terrified, Bot ran back to his lair in one breath, panting and thankful to be alive.

It will probably never forget that terrifying scene for the rest of its life.

"You seem a bit slow!"

However, just as Bote was still in shock, he heard a familiar voice in his ear, like the murmur of a devil.

Before it could turn around, the world in its eyes began to churn, and it could vaguely see the corpse of a headless ogre.

"So that was me..." Before losing consciousness, Bote suddenly realized something.

At least he's not a "fool".

“What an ugly race, even their blood stinks…” Mike looked at the fallen troll, threw a ball of fire to burn it to ashes, and then carefully put the flaming holy sword back into his body.

After this experience, he decided that next time, unless absolutely necessary, he would never use the Holy Sword itself to kill ogres.

Next comes the harvest.

Although the gold coins weren't of much use to Mike, he couldn't leave empty-handed since he was already there, and besides, who wouldn't take something for free?

Enduring the stench of the ogre's lair, Mike went straight to the deepest part of the cave.

In the dimly lit environment, a layer of gold coins could be seen on the ground, and several broken treasure chests were piled up in the corner.

Next to the treasure chest, on a badly weathered shelf, hung three swords crookedly, covered in dust.

Mike took down one of the short swords, which was about half a meter long, wiped off the dust, and flicked the blade with his finger.

After a crisp "ding," the sword's unique vibrato echoed through the cave.

"It is indeed a sword, but it is still not enough compared to the Holy Sword of Flames. If there is a chance, I can give it to Bilbo..." This elven sword is like a useless item to Mike, but the sword's inherent property of warning of approaching dark creatures is very useful to Bilbo.

This is considered "waste" being reused.

The situation with the remaining longsword and broadsword was similar to that of the short sword.

For Mike now, it's also a double-edged sword...

After acquiring the three most valuable elven swords, Mike then turned around and emptied the ogre's lair of treasure.

There are tens of thousands of gold coins and hundreds of various gemstones the size of walnuts, which is a considerable fortune.

When Mike returned to the village after dealing with the ogre's lair, the flames had already been extinguished by the villagers.

The old village chief with a white beard is leading the villagers in a memorial service for those who died fighting against the cannibals.

"The hero who slew the trolls is back!"

Upon seeing Mike return, the old village chief immediately came to greet him. The villagers behind him, their eyes red with emotion, also looked on with gratitude.

Chapter 596 Roosevelt

Seeing that the villagers' expressions were no longer as numb as before, Mike nodded in response, then turned to the old village chief and asked, "The dense forest is no longer safe, why didn't you evacuate beforehand?"

“We previously selected strong villagers to form scout teams to explore the way out. But those people never returned…” The old village chief sighed helplessly.

It wasn't that they didn't want to leave, but the resurgence of dark forces was too sudden, trapping the people of this medium-sized village deep in the dense forest.

What Mike could easily deal with—goblins and orcs—would be a disaster for ordinary villagers.

The people of this village have survived to this day only by holding onto their village, but they have encountered cannibals that are no match for human strength.

If Mike had arrived a few days later, they might have all become food for the cannibals.

"Here's what we'll do. You quickly gather everyone in the village, and I'll take you to the edge of the dense forest during the day." Mike thought for a moment and decided to offer the villagers some help.

"Thank you so much, you are a great benefactor to the village..." Upon hearing this, the old village chief was so moved that he almost knelt down before Mike.

For the people of this village, Mike's small act was tantamount to giving them a second life.

"No need for thanks." Mike helped the old village chief up, then used his divine power to lift the villagers who were also about to kneel, saying, "Time is of the essence, everyone hurry back and pack your things!"

The villagers could tell that Mike wasn't one for formalities, so they kept their gratitude in their hearts and went back to pack their belongings.

More than half an hour later, the villagers, having discarded most of their heavy daily necessities, gathered in the center of the village with dry food and necessary valuables.

"Let me make this clear first, whether we encounter ogres or orc groups, I have the ability to protect your safety..." Mike said, casually snapping a large tree in half to demonstrate his strength and reassure the villagers beforehand. He continued, "So in case of an emergency, don't panic, and avoid making the situation worse..."

In this situation, having a powerful person establish authority can make many things simpler.

Subsequently, under Mike's leadership, the villagers quickly formed an orderly migration team.

Women, children, and the elderly felt protected by the villagers.

It is clear that after experiencing hardship, the people in this village have become more united.

This kind of team meant they couldn't go fast. Even though the villagers wanted to get out of the dense forest as quickly as possible, they only covered a quarter of the distance in a whole day.

As evening fell, they encountered a small group of orcs, numbering a dozen or so.

Even though Mike had made assurances beforehand, fear inevitably spread among the crowd when they encountered the orcs.

However, before the crowd could stir, Mike stepped forward and easily dispatched all the orcs in a few moves.

Even creatures of darkness will die if they are killed.

Witnessing this situation again further strengthened the villagers' trust in Mike.

"Alright, let's set up camp here for the night and rest. We'll continue our journey tomorrow during the day..." After resolving the problem, Mike noticed that many of the villagers looked exhausted.

So they found a relatively flat place for everyone to rest.

After a night's rest, the villagers, having recovered some of their energy, noticeably increased their pace on the second day.

Moreover, they were much calmer when they encountered dark creatures again than before.

After traveling and stopping intermittently, the large group finally arrived at the outskirts of the dense forest on the morning of the fourth day, and luckily encountered a small team of rangers.

After negotiations, Mike hired the ranger team for ten gold coins to escort the villagers out of the valley.

Then, he secretly approached the old village chief and gave him a bag of gold coins to ensure that these villagers would have start-up capital to rebuild their homes wherever they went.

After seeing off the grateful old village chief and villagers, Mike took another route and ventured deep into the dense forest.

This time, he didn't control his speed, his figure swiftly traversing the depths of the dense forest. Any dark creatures he encountered were utterly annihilated.

During this time, they even tracked down the ogres. As time went on, all the dark creatures in the forest knew that a ruthless person had come to the forest.

More than half a month has passed, and thanks to Mike's killing spree, the black mist in the dark forest has dissipated somewhat.

"It's time to move on." After eliminating another troll and stealing its treasure, Mike headed towards the border between the Valley of the Dead and the Misty Mountains.

The Misty Mountains rise from the northern highlands and stretch almost across the entire Middle-earth, dividing the continent in two from left to right.

Rosgobel, located to the north of the mountains, is one of the few gaps that allows direct passage through the east-west direction of Middle-earth.

This is also one of the places where the dark creatures invaded from Mordor in the east to the west.

Gast, also a brown-robed wizard of the Maya, has lived in Rosgobel for many years fighting against the forces of darkness in order to protect the peace west of the Misty Mountains.

However, as the dark forces grew stronger, Redagast gradually felt powerless.

On this day, when he stepped out of his cabin to patrol the dark forest, he suddenly discovered that the small animals that had come to take refuge near his cabin were beginning to die one after another.

A large number of birds were infected by the demonic energy and fell to the ground. Several fawns in the herd collapsed and struggled on the ground, but soon stopped breathing.

Redagast, who is close to nature, has abilities similar to Tom from the Old Forest, such as creating a protective "barrier" around his dwelling.

The fact that small animals are dying around him proves that the dark forces surrounding Rosgobel have surpassed the power of the brown wizard.

"How to do how to do……"

Redagast was heartbroken as he watched the small animals die one after another. He paced back and forth anxiously, pondering how to deal with the dark forces.

Just then, a cheerful little hedgehog ran out of the cabin, but after only a couple of steps, it collapsed to the ground.

“No… Sebastian… What’s wrong with you… Sebastian…” Seeing this, Redagast rushed over in a panic and picked up the little hedgehog.

This hedgehog, named Sebastian, was among the first animals to seek refuge in Rosgobel and can be considered an "old friend" of the brown-robed wizard.

"Hang in there, Sebastian, you'll be alright..." Seeing the little hedgehog in his hand growing weaker and weaker, Redagast rushed back to the cabin in a daze.

He now has only one thought: to save his friend.

However, despite the aid of herbs and magic, the little hedgehog Sebastian showed no improvement, and even his breathing became barely audible.

At the same time, the sounds of other small animals screaming in terror and running away could be heard outside.

Immediately afterwards, two unidentified giant monsters climbed onto the windows of the cabin, completely blocking out the sunlight inside.

"This is... a warning from the forces of darkness..."

In a panic, Redagast realized that this disaster was a test of him by the dark "lord".

If they cannot hold them off, then more dark creatures will pass through Rosgobel and head west to Mirkwood, Bri, and even the Shire.

Just as the brown-robed wizard took out the blue crystal, preparing to do his best to expel the demonic energy from Sebastian's body, he suddenly saw a flash of white light outside the window.

Accompanied by the screams of the unknown monster, sunlight once again streamed into the cabin.

"The dark forces have been repelled???"

Redagast was startled, but the sight of his dying hedgehog friend left him no time to investigate the situation outside.

A few minutes later, Redagast, who had gathered all his magic power, finally extracted the demonic energy from the hedgehog's body with the help of the blue crystal, allowing Sebatian to survive.

Only then did he have time to drag his tired body outside to see what was happening.

Who exactly defeated the monster?

“Hello, Redagast. I’ve heard about you from Tom and Gandalf.” Mike, who was outside fiddling with the giant spider’s corpse, greeted the brown-robed wizard as he came out.

Chapter 597 The Ringwraiths and the Eye of Sauron

"I never imagined that the 'Ogre Killer' who recently came from the forest was actually a friend of Tom and Gandalf..."

Upon hearing that the young man before him was an "acquaintance," Redagast smiled and continued, "I am the brown-robed wizard Redagast. Thank you for helping Rossgobel repel the attack of the dark creatures."

The dark clouds dispersed and the sun shone on Ross Gobel again. The small animals that had been frightened away by the dark monster returned to the cabin.

It is clear that Roth Gobert has withstood this test from the dark forces.

"Ogre killer? What a strange title..." Mike shook his head and said with a smile, "My name is Mike, Mike Quinn, or more precisely, a traveler."
