Chapter 169: Battle Result
Lightning flashed across the sky, heralding the coming of a rainstorm.
Boom!
"ah!"
The guard who was cleaning the room's hands trembled, and he collapsed to the ground. The papers that recorded some evil things were scattered in the wind, stained with blood.
The candle suddenly went out, and the last light in the room disappeared.
The guard couldn't help but turn his head to look at the missing window. There was a howling sound of wind, which brought in humid air and darkness.
His mouth opened wider and wider, and fear of something indescribable crept onto his face.
"ah--!!!"
The heavy rain followed the thunder and screams.
“Quick, quick!”
Upon receiving the news, the captain of the guard quickly gathered a team of guards and marched towards the highest hall in the heavy rain.
Crash.
The orderly footsteps woke up many people who were not yet asleep, and the armor made a sound under the pounding of the bean-sized raindrops.
"What's wrong?"
The residents asked anxiously but never got an answer.
All we know is that since that day, the city lord moved out of that luxurious and sturdy hall with his entire family and all the guards, as if there was something terrible inside.
The next day, a carpenter was summoned to the lord's residence, reportedly with orders to nail up and seal a room in the hall.
"Save us, messenger sent by the Great Eye, there are evil creatures lurking in that hall!"
In the luxurious villa, the city lord prayed to a missionary sent by Sauron.
This time, the missionary finally got serious.
The prayers of the missing messenger could be attributed to nightmares and cowardice.
But the one who came today was the city lord, and something did happen in that hall.
"Let me go and have a look."
The missionary courageously followed the city lord to the room and ordered his men to violently split the newly sealed wooden planks with an axe.
Snap!
Dust was flying everywhere, and the sunlight shone through the square gap above the window, right onto the clean desk.
There were several pages of organized notes on it.
"That's it."
At the urging of the city lord, the missionary picked up the blood-stained pages of notes and read them in order from the beginning.
Breathing gradually slows down.
After a moment, he put the pages of notes on the table, coughed and asked, "Are there any suspicious people recently?"
"No, we didn't find any suspicious persons in the city."
For some reason, the city lord always felt that the missionary's voice was slightly trembling.
He pointed to the note and asked, "Excuse me, what is that?"
"It's full of evil words, have someone burn it!"
Although he was quite unhappy with the tone of the missionary's orders, after all, he was sent by the great being of Mordor, so he could only be unhappy.
As the flames slowly rose, the pages of notes were quickly devoured.
Looking at this warm flame, the missionary who always believed in darkness actually felt a little relieved at this moment.
"I will report this to the master."
That day, the missionaries set out from the pass and headed straight for Mordor.
At the same time, a terrifying rumor shrouded the city. A messenger from the royal capital disappeared along with all the items on his desk. It was said that he was swallowed by an indescribable monster.
As soon as the missionaries set out, the city lord sent his most capable men to pass on a message to the royal capital, stating that he needed to wait for the news that the missionaries would bring back from the Demon Eye, and that he also had to guard against some kind of terror that might exist in the territory, so it was not convenient to mobilize too many people for the time being.
A few days later.
Mordor, Barad-dur.
The missionary prostrated himself before the evil Black Tower, telling the Ringwraiths the rumors from the East.
“Foolish.”
A shrill voice came from the vague shadow in front of him.
"It's just a rumor."
Most of the Ringwraiths didn't take this seriously.
Except for one——
But Hamur walked out of the Ringwraiths, looked down at the missionary from his hometown, and said:
"Tell me everything you know."
The missionary thought back and felt a surge of regret.
Why did you burn those pages of notes?
But no matter how much I regret it, I still have to say what I need to say.
He recalled with great effort and answered with gritted teeth: "It is said that it is a monster that can breathe fire. It wears a pitch-black armor with spikes on its body. There is a golden light protecting it. No one can get close to it or hurt it."
"And he also has a mysterious power that can make people have nightmares and help them get out of nightmares."
"One Courier was killed by this force."
But Hamul and the other Ringwraith looked at each other.
Are you sure this isn't about the master? "I'll check it out."
But Hamur responded calmly and disappeared.
A few days later, a black horse broke through the pass, and the once most powerful legend and leader of the Dongyi: Kehamur returned to this land again.
He first came to the scene where the messenger disappeared and searched carefully, but the conclusion he came to was that there was indeed no sign of any special power here.
Then, at the city lord's request, Hamur searched the entire hall inside and out, but still found nothing.
The only suspicious thing in the entire scene was the square gap in the window.
"square…"
Some clue flashed.
"No, he should be west of the Misty Mountains. It is unlikely that he will appear so far away."
This extremely low probability possibility has been ruled out.
But Hamur announced on the spot: "The so-called monsters are just things you imagined out of fear."
"Believe in my Lord, believe in the Demon Eye, the Master will protect you from strange things."
Seeing the Ringwraiths say so, the city lord heaved a sigh of relief. He knelt down to pray and asked people to send a large amount of treasure, while strengthening the security of the territory.
The messenger of the evil eye brought a message: Don't believe in rumors, don't spread rumors, there are no monsters in this world that will come out of nightmares.
"The Eye will protect us."
…
In a small town far away from the royal capital, three people met in a secluded alley.
"I brought a lot of information from the port city, I believe it will be useful."
Falodane took out a stack of notes from his pocket and said, "Unexpectedly, the Dongyi still have a lot of hidden power. Fortunately, some people are not very tight-lipped, otherwise I am afraid we will not know what they have until the war starts."
“Well done.”
Alatar praised: "The best spies can only do this."
"What about you? How are things going over there?" Farodan asked.
"We have barely achieved some of our goals. At least the pace of the army's gathering has been slightly slowed down."
"I knew wizards always have some magical methods."
Hearing this, Alataar smiled in an ambiguous manner, looking quite gentle.
"Yes, a magical method."
Now there is only one person left who has not reported the results of the battle.
The two looked at Levi.
"To be honest, it didn't go very smoothly."
Levi said somewhat embarrassedly: "At first I caught up with the messenger's team, but he escaped without me noticing."
"Later, I chased him all the way to their Pass City. I originally planned to sneak into his room and capture the messenger so that I could torture him."
"But the messenger was very alert. Whenever I moved, he would look over. I was startled several times by his sudden turn of his head."
"After several failed attempts to break in, I just broke in through the window and..."
"He jumped out of the window. Uh, his movements were clumsy. He even tripped over a chair when he stood up and hit his nose. There was blood all over the table."
"I thought he might have some mental problems, so I didn't chase him, but I took away everything I could on the desk, including some opened letters and records of the number of each type of soldier."
"I guess it can't be considered a complete failure."
