Chapter 153 A sudden adventure
Can’t go back?
Listening to what Farodan said, Levi suddenly had a sense of déjà vu.
Ordinary people would definitely not understand this sentence because they do not understand the mission of those wizards.
A total of five wizards were sent to Middle-earth to assist the free peoples in their fight against Sauron. Three of them were in the very center of Middle-earth, two went to the far east, and after a while, one of them went to the southern Harad.
Whether in the east or the south, the areas of these two places are actually no smaller than the central and western regions of Middle-earth.
The only problem is that both sides are basically under the control of Sauron, needless to say, the Dongyi are completely Sauron's ally.
Not to mention Umbar, who even developed the Cult of the Demon's Eye.
People only know that there are Dongyi in the eastern Rhone region and Umbar in the southern Harad region. However, in fact, these two forces are only a corner of the two regions, not the whole.
West of Mordor, there is still a lot of room for flourishing and stable development, but the situation east or south of Mordor is hard to say.
Judging from most of the maps currently in circulation, Mordor appears to occupy only a corner of Middle-earth.
But the real reason is that the map can only record up to Mordor.
It seems that the free camp surrounded the small area of Mordor, but in fact, Mordor united with the surrounding unrecorded camps to surround the entire central and western Middle-earth.
This is why the Lonely Mountain must never be lost, and the Witch Kingdom of Angmar must never be restored.
If these two places fell into Sauron's hands, the western part of Middle-earth would be like a piece of meat in the mouth of a giant monster, waiting to be slowly chewed up.
After all, Arnor is no longer around. If the Witch Kingdom really wants to restore, those few rangers alone won’t be able to defend the entire north.
Unless Levi moves his home to the gate of Wu Kingdom.
"This is the first time I know the situation over there. It's very valuable information."
"I'm glad I can help you."
After saying this, Farodan started to eat the grilled meat and bread on the plate. Judging from the speed at which he ate, it was obvious that he had a good appetite.
East…
Levi looked at the large area of fog on the map and fell into deep thought.
Once Dongyi resolves the current dispute, I'm afraid the next target will be the Hegu City next door.
In the original timeline, in the War of the Ring eighty years later, Bard's grandson Brand died defending the front line of Dale and Lonely Mountain, while Dain, the King under the Mountain at the time, fought against the Easterlings while guarding Brand's body, and eventually died of exhaustion.
The invasion of the Easterlings killed both the human and dwarf kings in one fell swoop. They fought around the Lonely Mountain and Dale for more than ten days, until the Ring was destroyed and Sauron was defeated. The morale of the Easterlings began to waver, and the remaining dwarves and humans found an opportunity to counterattack.
Gulp.
As he was thinking about it, Farodan had finished the meat and bread on the plate and drank the last bit of beer.
"I had an impromptu adventure..."
Levi tapped the table lightly with his fingers, looking at the ranger opposite him who looked much more energetic.
"adventure?"
Farodan raised his eyebrows, having a bad feeling.
"Yes, an adventure."
“Maybe we’ll need some more manpower.”
Levi nodded slowly and continued, "It would be best if it was someone who was agile and experienced in the corresponding area."
"Can I ask where you're going?"
"Dongyi."
"You can't just say my name."
Farodan looked helpless.
"I'm definitely willing to help you, but I have some things to do recently. You know, I haven't been back for a while, and I have to go see my people."
"What happened to them?"
"Nothing. I'm still wandering in this wilderness as usual. I just don't know what happened. Almost all of my companions in the nearby area have disappeared. It seems that they have given up their vigilance here."
"Maybe it's because there really is no need to be on guard around here anymore."
"How could it be..."
Halfway through his words, Farodan shut up when he looked at a certain living legend in black armor in front of him.
"Well, anyway, I have to reconnect with my companions as soon as possible. I don't know how they are doing recently. In fact, if I hadn't seen you on the road, I would have set off by now."
"Where are you going?"
"To our hiding place."
"That's really curious. Speaking of which, I remember saying that you and your people can come to the roadside fort at any time to use the supplies inside, but until now, why haven't I met any other vagrants except you?"
"Didn't you tell them?"
Facing Levi's question, Farodan smiled softly and replied, "I did pass on this message to the tribe, but...even though they are poor and often in difficult situations, the nomads still have their own pride."
No reward without merit, and no one wants to eat for free.
That's roughly what I mean.
"We can still achieve at least self-sufficiency. Plus, with you here, there are almost no enemies in this area, so there is no need for them to stay here."
"All right."
Levi understood for a moment.
Not to mention other vagrants, even Farodan, who is familiar with Levi, would not come to Roadside Fort when he has nothing to do.
"You are going to look for your companions next, right? Can you take me with you? I am curious about your hiding place."
"Yes, if you want."
The short trip was decided in just a few words.
They set off as soon as they said they would. After settling the bill, the two left the inn and headed south until they reached a hill.
Nangang.
This is a barren hill located east of the Ancient Tomb Hill and south of the Wind and Cloud Hill. There are few green plants and trees. The soil underfoot is mostly mixed with sand and gravel. Looking around, it is all gray and looks quite gloomy.
A real uninhabited wasteland.
"Are you sure your base is here?"
Levi stood on a high place and looked into the distance desperately, but he could not see any signs of human activity.
"I'm afraid even Oak wouldn't want to come to this place."
"You're wrong about that."
"On the contrary," Farodan called from below, "the Orcs often gather in these lands."
"Then they will be cleaned up by our tribesmen who suddenly appeared."
While leading the way, Farodan said, "In this wilderness, no one can detect our location. In fact, if it weren't for some special code words and marks, we might not even be able to find our previous base the second time we come here."
"I hope the markings haven't changed while I've been away, or I'll have a headache."
We walked for a while in silence.
Suddenly, Farodan raised his hand and signaled Levi to stop and squat on the ground.
"What's wrong?"
Levi walked over and took a look, but really didn't see anything special.
"There's a problem. Something has been here."
A bad premonition arose in my heart.
"This way."
