Chapter 201 Return of the Missing
For those who stumbled into this place, the rangers obviously had a plan. If the person who fell down was not Levi but a Harad or some other enemy, he would be backstabbed and killed by the commando members hiding in the shadows and on guard the moment he landed.
There is a high probability that you won’t even have a chance to make a sound.
As enemies, these frontline commandos from Ithilien are indeed quite dangerous.
As a friend...it's also scary.
"Why would the legendary lord from the north come to us alone?"
The rangers lying in ambush above scared Levi, but at the same time Levi's arrival also scared the rangers.
A legendary lord with great influence throughout Middle-earth - although he calls himself a lord, the area of his territory and his influence are no less than that of a real king.
Why would such a great man come alone to the dangerous southern front so far away from his own territory?
"I have some important business to attend to in Harad."
Levi said seriously: "Their fruits are delicious."
"So you're going to...?"
"I'm going to buy some goods."
"Are you alone?"
"Yes, just me."
The rangers were speechless for a moment.
Because the specialty fruits at the enemy base were delicious, he went in alone to purchase some.
Just to eat a few bites of fruit.
Imagine if your own prime minister did this...it would be really shameful.
This is really Morgoth singing a different tune in the great music - it is off the mark.
Do the people in your territory know that you are doing this?
"Don't worry, I left a note before I left, they should be able to see it."
Levi answered their questions.
"Uh, you should be able to see it, right?"
Even more worried.
But after all, it is someone else's family business, so it is not easy for us to say anything, let alone ask in detail.
After a moment.
In an open space deeper in the cave, the captain talked to Levi alone.
"I thought I'd introduce myself now."
"——Captain of the 3rd Squadron of the Ithilien Commando, Kane."
"Like the name of the team, all of us are from Ithilien. It is no longer suitable for survival. The east is full of Uruks from Mordor, and the south is often invaded by the Haradrim."
"We are powerless to resist the armies of both sides, but there is something we can do. When they set foot on the land of Ithilien, letting down our guard is equivalent to exposing our necks to the sharp blades."
"But this is not Ithilien," Levi reminded.
This is Harondor. Further north across the Poros River is Ithilien, which is also the de facto boundary river in southern Gondor.
"Yes."
Facing Levi, Kane did not hide any intelligence from him. He revealed, "Since the Harads have strangely stopped harassing us recently, and even the frontline troops have voluntarily withdrawn from the border of Ithilien and returned to their base camp, the Prime Minister believes that there may be some greater conspiracy hidden in this, so he sent us across the ferry to conduct reconnaissance here."
"It's indeed unusual." Levi nodded in agreement.
"But we haven't been able to find anything yet, and this period has been very peaceful."
Peace Levi didn't know what to say.
You call it peace when the captain is captured by the enemy, many members of the team are injured, and one of the team members is also captured by the enemy? What kind of war must have been going on before?
"Gondor will remember your help."
After finishing the official business, Kane said in a normal tone:
"What are you going to do next? If you want to go back, we can send some people to follow you north until you reach a safe location."
Hearing this, Levi couldn't help but laugh.
Escort me?
"Relax, there is nothing in this area that can threaten me. Let's send the warriors to where they are more needed."
"Compared to this."
Levi walked to other parts of the cave and saw more than two dozen wounded people sitting or lying on the ground, silently treating their wounds without saying a word.
There are only about seventy or eighty people in this stronghold, and nearly half of them are wounded. This is not good.
"I happen to know how to make some potions that can heal wounds, and I just happened to find the missing ingredient recently."
"Maybe I can ask your team members to help me try out the effect."
Refining medicine?
Kane thought about it and then recalled that there was indeed a rumor about the legendary lord in front of him that "he could make some magical potions."
Trustworthy.
Click.
After the ender chest was released, Levi took out the alchemy table and hell wart from it, dug a two-meter-wide puddle next to it to create infinite water, and then put some soil next to the puddle, plowed it into farmland, planted watermelon seeds and added bone meal to ripen them.
In this way, a simple medicine refining and raw material production environment was set up.
Next, all you have to do is wait - wait for the watermelon to grow. This is a rather random thing. If you are lucky, it may grow in the next second. If you are unlucky, you will have to wait for a day or two.
Bon.
Just as I was thinking about it, a big square watermelon suddenly grew and fell on the ground next to the watermelon stem.
"It seems we are lucky."
Levi patted the watermelon, and the crisp sound echoed in the cave.
Kane looked over when he heard the voice, his eyes looking a little dazed.
"How did this thing grow?"
He couldn't help but squat down and knock the watermelon twice with his hands. As a result, cracks appeared on the watermelon immediately. When he stopped, the cracks stopped spreading.
Levi continued his action and knocked the watermelon with a snapping sound. The watermelon broke into several pieces and fell to the ground.
Kane couldn't help but ask, "Can they continue to grow like this in the future?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"sure."
Doesn't that mean this base will never be short of watermelons ?
A workbench was put down, and Levi took out a gold ingot and decomposed it into gold grains, which he then combined with watermelon segments to form a golden watermelon. He put it into the alchemy table and combined it with the "crude potion" made from hell warts.
Just like that, three bottles of "healing potion" were freshly released.
"Feed these to the injured team members, one bottle per person."
Levi instructed Captain Kane, and Kane took it without saying a word, without any doubt - he himself was the best verification of the potion's effectiveness.
Gulp.
Bottles of healing potions were produced and taken by the wounded.
“It really works.”
One team member removed the bandage, stood up on the spot, and jogged left and right.
“It’s working very well.”
"Even the injuries on the bones have healed."
"My chest is healed, too."
Everything is getting better.
"You not only saved me, but also saved the lives of many team members."
After making sure that all his subordinates had indeed recovered, Kane approached with an unstoppable smile on his face.
"It's not a big deal."
Levi collected the alchemy table and materials, put them back into the ender chest, and then dug them out.
"team leader!"
Just as he was packing up, he heard a sound from above the cave entrance, and saw two team members lifting the leaves and climbing down along the rope one after another.
"Captain, I'm back!"
A team member with a haggard face and a thin body walked over.
Kane immediately went over and grabbed his shoulders.
"you…"
"I escaped when the Haradrim weren't paying attention, Captain. You don't know what they did to me."
The team member immediately began to talk about his experience.
"They tortured me, whipped me, and didn't give me food. I thought I was going to die several times."
“But fortunately I held on.”
He sighed, "If I hadn't held on, how could I have waited for this opportunity?"
"Welcome back."
Thousands of emotions were expressed in these words, and Kane hugged the player.
This action really made the team member stunned for a moment.
"Yes, I'm back."
He quickly responded and returned the hug.
At the same time, his eyes scanned the entire stronghold, and looking at the large number of former colleagues active here, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
There are so many people...
"Yes, yes... I'm back."

——
ps. My body has recovered a little now. I will find time to update the whole thing soon and try to push it back as much as possible.
The timeline of the War of the Ring will not be dragged on for too long, and the book will not be too far from the final chapter. Everything that is coming will come.
Once again, thank you all for your continued support, and I hope you can all enjoy peace and tranquility.
