Chapter 338 Cirith Ungol

"That's great."

Seeing Levi joining, Gandalf quickly expressed his approval.

This guy is idle anyway, so if we can lure him out to be a helper, why not do it?

After making the decision, Levi asked again: "Tell me your intelligence, be more specific."

"In Ithilien, near the crossroads."

Gandalf recalled and said, "To be honest, I am very worried. That area is too close to the Witch King's territory. If it weren't for the recent news, I would have suspected that he had been controlled by the Witch King."

"oh?"

"So Gollum is near Minas Morgul?"

"Yes." Gandalf replied affirmatively.

"Then I understand."

Levi smiled.

"I'm very familiar with that area. I have a base near the intersection, and..."

"and?"

Gandalf waited for Levi's next words, but when he got to this point, Levi was stuck.

He shook his head.

"Never mind. I'm not sure."

"Not sure about what?"

"I'm not sure if the leader of the Orcs has been changed, or if there have been any changes within the organization."

"What does this have to do with us?"

Gandalf asked questions repeatedly, really confused by Levi's words.

"There are always some unexpected things in this world, Gandalf. Even among the Orcs there are some who have ulterior motives, although they may not be very stable."

Gandalf thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure if this situation you're talking about actually exists, but if it does, then I can only say that it's very rare, it's the first time it's ever happened."

Even a strong-willed hero would have difficulty breaking Sauron's shackles, let alone an Orc who has no soul.

Yes, Orcs have no souls. Gandalf, who has a special identity, can understand this best because he has memories of this race.

The vast majority of this race can only be said to be animals that have been shaped into human form. Among them, a few that are relatively special and powerful mostly just choose to change their appearance into that of Orcs. It can only be regarded as a skin, and they are essentially different beings.

For example, the Orc King in Orc Town, who had lived for at least thousands of years, most likely chose the Fallen Maia in the form of an Orc - a relatively weak one.

After all, it is difficult for the Orcs as a whole to produce any individual with the will to resist Sauron.

Well...but we can't say there are no exceptions. Nothing is absolute.

"Who knows? Sometimes things are so strange. Maybe something in your brain will pull a string and your thoughts will change completely. Or they will never go back to normal."

Levi expressed his own views.

"That does make sense."

Gandalf approved and seemed to understand.

The old wizard has been walking in Middle-earth for two thousand years and has met too many people with abnormal brains. Sometimes some people's brains are so weird that he even suspects that they are possessed by Morgoth.

No, that's not right.

Even Morgoth is not that evil.

After a brief discussion, Levi took action immediately and set out ahead of Gandalf that day, taking the Hell Passage directly to the stronghold near the crossroads.

As soon as he left the stronghold, he headed straight for Minas Morgul, the nearby Pass of Cirith Ungol.

This is a long and narrow passage in the valley slightly north of Minas Morgul, one of only two passages leading into Mordor from the west.

Another passage is naturally Minas Morgul, where there is a road called the Morgul Road that leads directly into Mordor.

Of course, it would be wishful thinking to expect that anyone outside of Mordor could take this route directly from Minas Morgul.

When the Witch King sat there, he was hated by everyone and no one wanted to get close to him.

As expected, Gollum should have accidentally bumped into Shelob who was guarding Cirith Ungol while looking for a path to enter Mordor, and then began to serve her and find fresh meat for her.

This giant spider had only been able to eat shriveled and smelly orcs all year round, and for some reason, the orcs had become wary, and recently even the orcs had not been enough for him.

She finally had a subordinate like Guru, who was agile and could run around and bring her fresh goods, so she cherished him very much.

"But that's it."

Levi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked towards the valley on the north side of Minas Morgul.

Gandalf and Aragorn didn't know what was going on here, but he knew it clearly in his heart.

"Shila, right? Let me see what's going on."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Without hiding anything, Levi headed straight for Cirith Ungol.

An Oak nearby was squatting in the grass chewing on maggot-infested bread. Suddenly, he looked up and saw a hot figure passing by. He was so frightened that he couldn't breathe and almost fainted.

"Why is he here?!"

"Quick, go back and inform the leader!"

Instinctively, when Oak discovered Levi, he immediately chose to find a leader who was stronger than himself to deal with the matter.

"Never mind him."

When the news reached the lame weirdo, he immediately gave orders to his men.

Seeing that his men didn't seem to understand, he had no choice but to stand up and preach at the top of his voice:

"What are you panicking about, you scum?"

"Anyway, he's not coming for us, nor for the Lord Witch King, so why should we care about him?"

The powerful roar from the leader successfully calmed the panic of his subordinates.

“That makes sense.”

"As expected of the boss, you are so smart."

He is not coming for us. If we do anything to make him unhappy, wouldn't that be courting death? If he is unhappy and rushes into Minas Morgul in the poisonous fog to beat someone up, that would not be a good thing.

The best thing to do at this time is to stay quiet. No matter what happens, wait until that person leaves.

Privately, the Orcs and Uruks speculated on their boss's intentions, and most of them thought that this was a wise move that would protect their own side while not violating their master's orders.

But unknown to them, their boss was so excited that he was about to jump up.

While all his subordinates were not paying attention, the lame weirdo quickly took the back road and quietly left the military camp, running in the direction Levi left.

The breeze pushed away the dusty and turbid air, making Levi frown.

The environment in Mordor is not very good. It was all grass and bushes in Ithilien, but once you get to the Ash Mountains of Mordor, it's all burnt and dry ash. Only some charred wood with a pitch-black and lifeless surface can reflect the change of location.

This place would be uninhabitable if it was conquered one day.

If the pollution caused by Sauron is restored purely by nature, it will take another era to recover.

But it doesn’t matter, these things can be considered slowly in the future.

After walking for a while, Levi came to a narrow and quiet pass and walked up the stairs.
