Chapter 345 South and East
Chapter 345·South and East
——Saruman, East America, Arctic... Is it East America or Arctic?
——There is too little information, but the probability of Arctic ice is relatively small... We were placed in Rohan, the plot area of the second part. Then the possibility of the other party appearing in the first plot area is extremely high. Only in this way can the balance of potential be maintained.
——Then... the probability of it being Dongmei is very high. I believe that Dongmei must be focusing most of its attention on Central Continent now. Only a part of the force is left to eliminate the weak and eliminate the variables. The noise we made in Rohan cannot be concealed, so they will definitely guess that we will try to replace the original two hobbits and visit Fangorn Forest first... They will send troops.
——We must eat this force... Because we are the weakest, we must show our "thorn" to ensure that we will not become the target of public criticism just because we are the best to deal with. The attacker will definitely come. There is a high probability that he is the reincarnator, but there is a small probability that he is the agent of the reincarnation. And we must win this game, and we must win beautifully.
In Fangorn Forest, Neos was biting a chocolate bar while adjusting the spell map in his hand. It was the Marauder's Map derived from HP's worldview, which could help them locate all named intelligent creatures in the area.
They plan to use it to find Treebeard, the king of the Ents. Only it can summon the jungle with a roar and level Isengard, which was defiled by Saruman's industry. If you use other tree people, I'm afraid it will only have half the result with half the effort.
After all, the way tree people communicate... has a relatively slow pace.
Unfortunately, there are too many named tree people in Fangorn Forest. Although most of them are in a state of long sleep and will not wake up even if they are hit by an axe, the too dense number makes it impossible for the reincarnations of the Southern Yanzhou team to quickly locate the tree king. Name.
It's a nuisance, but not a bad thing. Because the prop of the Marauder's Map can certainly shine in HP's original world view. But in the world of infinite reincarnation, it is not very effective - only some simple counter-prophecy and anti-divination methods can block one's whereabouts on the Marauder's Map, and once an individual who is too powerful is glimpsed, it is even possible Traces of the holder will be traced backwards.
Neos didn't dare to use it near Isengard at all - he didn't even dare to use it to spy on Karen.
But Treebeard, who is most likely in a sleeping state, should not fall into this category - the Nanyanzhou team also has warlocks with certain divination and snooping abilities who can guide a rough area. According to Neos's judgment, it shouldn't take long for him and others to reach the designated target area.
Soon, soon. But there is still a certain distance. For the Nanyanzhou team at this moment, the forced march in the forest does not consume much physical energy, but it will consume a lot of mental energy.
Neos sensed the fatigue in the team. It was not too strong, but it was already out of the peak of its combat power. There was some kind of huge will that could not be triggered sleeping in this forest, which resisted and suppressed all foreign things. force.
He stopped. There happened to be a clearing where he stopped.
"Rest here for a quarter of an hour." Nios gave the order. "Be vigilant and be careful around you. Don't reveal any hostility. There are sleeping tree men everywhere around us, and we shouldn't be far away from our target."
His will was fulfilled immediately.
With a 'whoosh', a group of six or seven people scattered in all directions. Soldiers equipped with weapons and armor spontaneously guarded the outside. Rangers who were not elves and carried longbows were patrolling the surrounding area. I easily climbed up a big tree and rested somewhere with a good view. The spell casters and mental power users, including Neos, were protected in the middle to ensure that they would not be attacked in the first place.
The mentalist next to Neos closed his eyes.
"...It's very quiet around here." She said softly, her figure was petite and her tone was pleasant. "Some small animals are wandering about three hundred meters away from us, following the water to the west. There are seven groups of small animals within two kilometers. They all look quite carefree, and they obviously do not sense the danger. Maybe it’s also because this area is particularly safe?”
Everyone in the Nanyanzhou team has aura-containing props on their bodies, so naturally they will not leak out auras that can alarm ordinary small animals.
As for a creature like the tree man, it is known from the literal sense that it is quite close to nature.
"Treants have been everywhere since we came in... It seems our target is to the west. Well done, Snowbell. As long as we manage to find Treebeard before either party takes action, half the battle is won. The projection scroll allows it to directly see the woods outside Isengard, and as long as it is willing to verify it with us, we will get this help."
Neos nodded with satisfaction. Reincarnators naturally have props with the characteristics of the main god. At this time, the tree people did not have a clear understanding of their own combat power - they may have thought that the outside of the forest was still a mythical battlefield in the First Era, where dragons and balrogs were everywhere. Therefore, they are very cautious about sending troops. Only the bloody reality can make them make a desperate move.
"Hehe..." The young psychic girl known as Xuelin'er narrowed her eyes happily. Being praised by Neos can effectively satisfy her emotions. Perhaps it was for fun, to get closer, or simply to relax before the war. She took the initiative to stir up some new topics.
"Brother Nios——" She had a pair of big sparkling eyes. "As long as we find Treebeard, can we win? Just like the original movie plot, we will directly bulldoze Isinger with the tree people?"
When she spoke, the spell caster who was also in the defensive circle showed a wry smile. With a simple gesture, an invisible protective barrier was immediately opened and the filtering of information was completed - this was obviously not the first time that this happened, so much so that her companions all completed their nerve reflexes to prevent this guy from revealing anything inappropriate. necessary information.
Neos glanced at her with a look of doting and helplessness. Xue Ling'er is indeed very competent as a spiritual power user, but as the most important 'eye' in Nanyan Continent, she is always very willful.
He nodded to the spellcaster Arendt, who responded with a smile. He was determined to teach Xue Ling'er a lesson, but in the end he reluctantly softened his mind.
The 'eye' is very important, and Xue Ling'er has never wasted her abilities except for her occasional willfulness. So it’s not impossible to accommodate a little bit.
"Actually, it can't be done." Nios shook his head and relaxed his thoughts in the chat. “Although the tree people in the original book easily captured Isengard, they ran into the opportunity when all the orc legions in Isengard went to besiege Helm’s Deep——
——Saruman is a powerful wizard, and the White Palm Army under his command has extraordinary combat power. Strong orcs and half-orcs are not at the same level at all, because in the world view of The Lord of the Rings, half-orcs are synonymous with weakness. They are thin and have broken equipment. Even three or four of them cannot defeat a brave farmer. Compared with the powerful orcs in subsequent fantasy systems, they should actually be called goblins. "
"When the Treants attacked Isengard, Saruman's defenders actually only had a few weak goblins. Their task was to maintain the operation of the foundry and production lines. They were not even equipped with full armor weapons, let alone Mix in powerful offensive forces such as trolls. As a foundry, Essinger is not even equipped with fortification defenses."
Neo paused, took out a new chocolate bar from his pocket and chewed it gently.
It tastes good, just like always. Sugar effectively protects the brain, allowing him to maintain a relatively relaxed thinking.
"So, the victory of the Treants was based on a sneak attack on a group of miscellaneous militiamen. I do not deny the combat effectiveness of the Treants themselves, but it is obviously far from the time when the Battle of Helm's Deep breaks out. Saruman He even controls King Theoden. And even if we incite the tree people, we will encounter a heavily guarded army of heavily armored orcs - maybe they can still win, but they will definitely not win like in the original book. Smoothly. What’s more… they may not win.”
"Is it because of Saruman?"
"Because of Saruman." Nios nodded slightly. "I spied on it once from a distance, and it gave me the feeling that it was as blazing as a volcano that was not erupting. The huge eye shadow was closely connected with it. It symbolized endless destruction and destruction... even in the original canon. In this world, it can also evoke thunder and bring down blazing fire. In this world, we have already seen warlocks who can control flames, strong orcs with body-protecting fighting spirit, and cavalry charges in which one person is like a thousand people and a thousand cavalry are united into one. .”
"Now, its power will only be more powerful than the original code. Regardless of whether the tree people have received corresponding strengthening, fire is their destined nemesis after all... Once Saruman evokes the storm-like wave of fire, It’s hard for me to imagine how horrific the battlefield would have turned into at that time.”
Xue Ling'er opened her mouth slightly, showing surprise.
"Isn't it possible even if you add us? Including the secret power we possess?"
"It's difficult." Nios shook his head. "Richard is the only third-level among us, but even if he has the ability to hurt a fourth-level, it is impossible for him to confront a powerful wizard with an army in a wizard's position under the wizard tower. And the others Let alone people.”
He pointed to his companions.
"Arendt." The sorcerer in gray robes had entrusted him with the previous divination. But he doesn't have a powerful mysterious aura, nor does he have the same beard and sword staff as Gandalf. "It's just a levelless warlock who can't participate in a frontal battle at all."
"Miriya." A strong black man with dreadlocks and inlaid runes on his arms. "A first-level rune warrior may be able to defeat a strong orc squad leader... in a one-on-one duel."
"Rose." The name of the previous ranger had a subtle aura. "Amazon Ranger, the first level of power is the same as Miria. Although he has the secret skill of the Heart-locking Arrow, it cannot be effective against Saruman."
"Manini." A tall, thin man in black, carrying a pair of machetes. "Although he is the second level like me, even if he buys the lowest level Chaos Blade and Spartan bloodline, it is far inferior to Kratos in the mortal period. It may have a bonus to Maia's creation, but it is not Maia itself doesn’t have much power.”
He shook his head. The information about himself came to his lips, but he swallowed it subconsciously.
"We can't defeat Saruman - or in other words, we can't enter the Isengard Tower at all. Unless Saruman is stupid enough to leave the tower and fight us in the wild. Otherwise, even if we have an army of tree people to cooperate, we will not even be able to behead him. No tactics can do it - in fact, our target is not Saruman at all but Gandalf who is imprisoned by Saruman - I spotted a glimmer of light from the top of the tower while snooping. Obviously, Gandalf It is still trapped at the top of Essinger, and has not yet waited for help. And if we can rescue it with the help of the tree people's march, then we will have gained the most important weight in this battle."
He looked at Xue Ling'er and smiled slightly.
"The Rivendell meeting is crucial, and with Gandalf's help and persuasion. Even if Saruman destroys all the orcs, there is a high possibility that we can move the army of elves to bulldoze Isengard. And we can naturally integrate Join the Fellowship of the Ring to ensure the final mission goal. Of course, before that, we will definitely have to face challenges from other teams."
"But we had already gained enough momentum at that time. To be our enemy is to be the enemy of the entire bright side." Xue Ling'er showed an expression of sudden realization. "Even if they attack together, we are not afraid!"
"Yeah." Nios nodded. "Position is the most important thing, and our own size is not bad. Although we are judged as the weakest team, our configuration is very complete. And there is basically no news about other teams for so many days, which also proves Other teams either acted less aggressively or started poorly. Time is on our side, and the longer we wait to prepare, the greater the trouble we will be in."
"And the only thing I'm worried about right now is actually one thing."
"Yes...?" Xue Ling'er blinked.
"That's the mental power of the eyes in our team. Is it strong enough?" He spread his hands and bit off the chocolate bar, which tasted the same as before. "After all, in a team battle, if the mental power user is suppressed and gets wrong information, the result will never be good."
"You think so? Xue Ling'er?"
The girl's face suddenly froze.
The girl's body suddenly shattered!
And it was not just herself that was broken, but also the entire space around her. Neos opened his eyes, he was still standing where he was, and his companions had just completed their defensive formations!
"there!"
A dark shadow appeared on the other side of his finger!
