The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-earth

Chapter 37 Orcs’ strange movements

Early the next morning, Renault led all the members of the Knights to cross the Swift River in batches. With the help of Radi, they built an outpost that was not very beautiful but was absolutely solid. I built it directly using earth magic. The outside is a square stone wall with a total length of 100 meters, a thickness of 3 meters and a height of 6 meters. Inside the wall, they built a wooden shed to serve as a horse pen. In the middle is a 10-meter long and wide high-rise building. The 15-meter sentry tower was used for warning and residence, and a beacon tower was built on the top to warn the Rapid City on the other side of the river. The price for successfully keeping this sentry standing here was that Mr. Radil drank all his own. After restoring the inventory of magic potion, he still fell into a weak state due to excessive consumption of magic power.

"Kaslo, you stay here, I will lead people to conduct reconnaissance along the river bank." Reno waved to Kaslo.

"Well, if there is a situation, don't confront us head-on. The worst we can do is retreat to Rapid City and defend the city." Kaslo warned. He was afraid that Roland would be careless and be lured into the enemy by the orcs. After all, the knights who have exhausted their fighting spirit are not as good as Infantry is useful.

"Secure the city..." The corner of Renault's mouth twitched. When he thought about the pitiful walls of Rapid City... he felt even more unreliable.

"Go early and come back early!" Kaslo slapped the horse's hip, and immediately the excellent Charles war horse rushed out like an arrow from the string.

"Boom~" Amidst the sound of galloping horse hooves, the Knights of Holy Glory led by Renault gradually drifted away.

"I hope everything is safe." Kasluo sighed, and then stepped onto the dragon saddle. The four-legged flying dragon flapped its wings and flew into the sky, flying towards the depths of the dark forest.

"Hmm~ How's your investigation going?" Azog stared at the orc in front of him and said fiercely.

"Master...Master, we haven't discovered anything yet...that army seems to have come out of thin air." The orc leader stuttered in explanation.

"Roar!" Azog roared, and the iron claw inlaid on his left arm directly inserted into the neck of the orc in front of him. Then with a strong movement, the orc was lifted high by him, and then he threw it in casually. The wolf pack was attacked, and in an instant, dozens of wargs jumped up and cut it into pieces in the air.

"Trash, not worthy of living!" Azog said ferociously, and countless orcs below him lowered their heads in fear.

"Find them! I want to know where they come from!" Angry roars echoed in the abandoned castle.

"Sir, we have arrived at the old forest road!" A knight said to Renault who stopped. Returning here again, Renault sighed for a long time. The majestic rushing infantry followed the king north to participate in the Battle of Gushan. Now... I and others are back, but what they have is left behind in Gushan.

"A team of 10 people, spread out for investigation!" Renault said casually as he looked around.

"Human knight..." The half-orcs with sensitive hearing discovered each other earlier than the knights of the Holy Glory Knights. They were quietly ambush in the shadow of the woods, ready to jump down at any time...

"Why do you feel so eerie?" A knight raised his lance warily and looked around.

"Be careful!"

"I feel like here...ah!" A knight screamed, and a half-orc descended from the sky and successfully pierced the knight's body with the dagger in his hand. Due to the angle, the dagger pierced the plate armor. Then it was nailed to the knight's shoulder.

"Roar!" The angry knights swung their swords and slashed hard.

"Orcs!" The screams spread far away.

"Catch them! Let's go quickly!" A small orc leader waved to the surrounding orcs.

"Glory, mercy...humility!" The knights superimposed various states for themselves except sacrifice.

"For the glory of Raglan! Charge!" The ten surrounded knights quickly broke through the weak siege of the orcs with thunderous gestures and ran quickly.

"Lek! Hold on! Don't sleep!" The running knights gathered the injured knight in the middle, and the group quickly broke out of the forest. The knights accompanying them kept stimulating the injured knight with their voices to keep him from falling asleep.

"Lord Renault! Orcs!" After seeing Renault and his group by the river from a distance, the knights quickly brought their teammates to join them.

"Alert!" Renault immediately turned his attention to the injured knight.

"Holy inspiration! Holy healing!" The soft golden light fell on the knight. When he woke up, he gritted his teeth and pulled out the dagger embedded in his flesh.

"Hmm~" The pain made his face look ferocious, and he desperately clenched the weapon to relieve his pain.

"Okay, young man! You are very brave." As he passed by Renault, the knight suddenly heard the words in his ears. The excessive blood loss made him drowsy, and his wounds were healed by the divine healing skills. Rapid growth and healing of scabs…

"Qiang!" Renault casually hung the lance beside the saddle and drew out his favorite knight's sword with his backhand. Compared with the bulky lance, the 5-meter-long knight's sword was extremely flexible.

"Kill!" Renault shouted softly, and all the fighting energy in his body surged towards the knight's sword. The peaceful and sacred fighting energy formed a sword light about 3 meters long outside the long sword.

As the word "Zhan" fell, the golden sword light quickly passed over the surging orcs and finally dissipated behind them.

The upper body of the orc that had been swept by the sword was still sprinting forward hard, but the lower body had been severed and left in place. Their limbs were separated and they lay on the ground wailing uncontrollably. Renault looked at them indifferently as they dug into his own internal organs. And rolling in blood and wailing, he carefully looked at their totems and found that these orcs came from the same place as the first batch of orcs at the foot of the Lonely Mountain - Dol Guldo!

"Trouble! Orcs are already under his nose..." Renault's eyes were full of anxiety. If Legolas hadn't brought about the changes in the orcs in the north, which made Roland think of the orc army in the south, he would have had to wait. The orcs were at their doorstep and they could never find them.

"We can't fight on two fronts..." A knight muttered while looking at everything in front of him.

"But we probably have to fight on two fronts again!" Renault sighed softly and looked into the distance.

"So... Azog in the south can't stand it any longer?" Roland looked at Renault in surprise in the warm tent as he reported.

"We are in big trouble..." Mr. Radil, who fell into weakness, said while teasing the griffon eggs he brought.

"Well, this trouble is not as big as usual. Once they attack, we will bear the brunt. Riverdale City and Erub can give us very little help. They also need to guard against the orcs from the north crossing the Lonely Mountain to attack them. The only one who can intervene The elves in this matter...forget it, what can you expect the elves to do?" Roland analyzed it.

"Good guy! All these allies are useless!" Kaslo rolled his eyes.

"Instead of looking forward to Thranduil's reinforcements, it is better to consider the army of Dane Ironfoot." Radil raised his eyebrows.

"Your Highness! There's a situation on the other side of the river!" A Battanian shooter suddenly broke in.
