The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-earth

Chapter 34: Surprise appearance of the watcher in the water

"Your Highness..." A group of shooters ran back in disgrace.

Their noisy voices successfully attracted Roland's attention. Roland curiously poked his head out of the blacksmith shop and was stunned by the Battanian shooters in front of him. Some of the shooters who were originally wearing fine mail armor had The armor was in tatters, some arms were bruised, and some were wet all over, like a drowned rat.

"What happened?" Roland narrowed his eyes. He wouldn't be attacked by an orc.

"Sir, a huge octopus monster actually appeared in the rushing river. It seems to be at least a high-level monster!" A shooter organized his words and told Roland the whole story.

It turned out that the archers were out fishing in a boat. The river was still rich in resources in the fast-flowing river in winter. They had already harvested more than a dozen large baskets of fish. Just as they worked together to close the net again, several thick tentacles suddenly emerged from the water. , the fishing net was torn apart three times, and then a big mouth with sharp teeth appeared and swallowed the fish in the net. The archers who reacted shot the octopus-like thing with their bows and arrows. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be violent. It aroused its ferocity, and the huge tentacles waved wantonly, knocking down the five Galenic ships surrounding it. Fortunately, the Battanian archers had extremely strong agility, and they escaped the wanton sweeping tentacles but did not escape. After falling into the water, under the rescue of the remaining five Galen ships, although no personnel were sacrificed, many people were injured. Facing the octopus monster that ordinary arrows could not kill, a group of Battanians The shooters could only retreat while shooting. They finally let the boat seize the beach and quickly ran inland, thus blocking the attack of the monster.

"What the hell? How dare any cow or horse come to make trouble?" Roland was extremely angry. This winter, with little food and clothing, Galliu City relied on the aquatic products of the Galliu River to survive. Even Roland could only eat black bread and grilled fish. Or black bread or fish soup, how can they live without these aquatic products?

"All the Knights of Holy Glory will stay. Renault, you are responsible for protecting Rapid City. Lagrand City guards and Batania shooters will follow me. Pastor Ivy and Sir Radil will trouble you." Roland assigned the task. , It's a pity that Kaslo is not here, otherwise his flying dragon would definitely be a great weapon.

"Let's go! Let's go and meet it." Roland gritted his teeth.

Looking at the calming rapids of the river, Roland turned to look at Radil: "Sir Radil, I'm sorry to bother you!"

"This is what I should do, Your Highness." Radil bowed, and the next moment a huge amount of spiritual power was released through the staff in Radil's hand. Look at the amplifying effect of this staff on Radil. It should not be an ordinary thing. Under the control of Radil, the mental power is constantly exploring both sides of the river with Radil as the center...

"Found it!" Radil suddenly opened his eyes.

"Psychic burst!" Radil threw out a high-level spiritual magic. For an earth war mage to use expensive spiritual spells, it is not a big problem. After all, the caster uses spiritual power and magic to construct spells. The mental power of a higher-level spellcaster is definitely not lower than the magic power.

"Boom!" There was a muffled sound under the water. With the sound, a huge white water ball surfaced and exploded. A monster with dozens of tentacles was washed up by the current.

"What? Water monitor?" Roland looked at the familiar barbed tentacles and the ugly appearance. Isn't this the same as the water watcher that appeared in the mirror lake at the west gate of Moria? Is it the same model as the Watcher? Roland was a little surprised, but he was relieved after thinking about it. Mirror Lake was originally a closed lake with only one river connected to it. If ancient creatures like water monitors can enter that narrow water area, why can't they enter this wide area? The fast flowing river.

"Fire arrows!" Roland commanded his soldiers to attack. Compared to the knights of the Holy Glory Knights whose arrow skills were so rough that they could not be looked directly at, the hand crossbows of the Lagrand City guards were much more accurate. I can't say where to hit, but I can definitely hit with a high probability. Not to mention the skills of the Batania shooters, they are even more awesome!

"Sure enough!" Roland looked solemnly at the water monitor who was angry in the water because of the pain. Although his skin was not thicker than dragon skin, the only ordinary arrows Roland had left were still unable to cause fatal damage in the hands of these low-level professionals. .

"Light bomb!" Ivy gathered a ball of light bombs and shot it at it. Unexpectedly, the reaction of the monitor in the water was extremely violent. The light burned its skin and made it ecstasy.

"It is a creature of the dark camp! It is afraid of light, fire and holy attacks!" Radil said at a glance, because fighting in the water with it made the earth-type old man Radil uncomfortable. In addition to attacking with spiritual power, He could only cast a few long-range attack spells such as falling rocks, which made the old man furious. The strength of the war mage could not be used at all, and the damage was not as high as that of a third-level priest! Mr. Radil felt humiliated by the water monster.

"Holy Sword Judgment!" Roland held up the Dragon-Slaying Sword and plunged it into the earth. A huge golden six-pointed star emerged with the Dragon-Slaying Sword as the center. At the same time, an identical six-pointed star appeared above the head of the monitor in the water. The next second The dragon-slaying sword constructed of divine power flew down from the six-pointed star array and pointed directly at the watcher in the water below.

"Squeak~" The harsh sound tortured everyone's eardrums, and a wound that was one meter and a half deep was left on the head of the watcher in the water. Black blood continued to flow out of the wound.

"Thank you, Sir Radil!" Roland couldn't help but give the old man a thumbs up. Although the old man no longer had powerful earth magic output, he still used his huge mental power to restrict the movement of the watcher in the water, making it impossible to hide. After entering the water, he could only take one shot of Knight Roland's Holy Sword Judgment. Although Roland's move just now was extremely majestic, it actually had big flaws. First of all, he couldn't use it while moving like Renault. There are still a few seconds to release the forward swing, which is very deadly on the battlefield. From this point, it can be seen that Roland usually relies too much on his soldiers and has never fully developed his own strength. He has no rank of Knight Commander. , even fighting a senior knight would be difficult in actual combat. It is no wonder that Kasluo stopped Roland from rushing to Raven Ridge to confront Azog. In this world, Azog's weakest strength should be a level 5 professional. Even a level 6 overlord, hero or warrior. Even Thorin, the berserker, could only do a few kills without the support of the Seven Rings of Dwarves. As for the counterattack in the movie... don't dream about it.

"Holy Sword Judgment!" Roland, whose skill was cooled down, used the Paladin's ultimate move again.

"I must be dead now..." Roland held his waist and sighed after just releasing the 47th Holy Sword Judgment.

"..." Ivy looked at Roland, who had exhausted all his fighting energy, and then at the monitor in the water who was almost penetrated by the Holy Sword Judgment... There were several black threads hanging from his head.

"Your Highness, that's enough! That's enough! This guy has been penetrated by you..." Looking at the horrific situation, the water monitor Radil quickly stopped Roland, who was still holding on to release his skills. Radil would also control it in front of him. The struggling water monitor, the water monitor behind him was already floating on the water like a dead fish, letting Roland take out his output...

"Okay, let's continue fishing... just fish it up, dig up the magic crystal and throw it away." Roland looked at the body of the monitor in the water, thought of the ink-black blood, and immediately stopped pulling it back. Edible ideas.

"It's a pity that my Galen boat..." Roland expressed pity for the five boats that were destroyed. Now the daily fish catch will be much smaller...

"It seems that in the future, the archers will have to be paired with city guards to fish together. I didn't consider the factors of monsters in the river before... This is not the Middle-earth described by Tolkien!" Roland sighed with emotion, and he almost almost I forgot that there are a lot of monsters in this world.

"I went back to work on my blacksmith shop..." Roland was still thinking about the blacksmith shop. After all, his subordinates' equipment was in urgent need of repair.
