Chapter 213 Bloody Day
Noses twitched and the wargs drooled.
There was indeed a lot of bloody smell in the direction that the Uruk pointed just now, and it was fresh. You could tell it was just slaughtered just by smelling it.
"roar!"
Fresh...
Click.
Just as the wolves were about to pounce and feast on the food, a hideous head rolled over.
The wargs couldn't help but lower their heads and look around.
It was the head of Uruk, and it was indeed fresh.
When he looked up again, a man walked out of the darkness. His armor was as black as the wolves' fur, but the sword in his hand glowed with a deep blue light.
"roar!!!"
The wolves roared, but their anger was not directed at the people in front of them.
Damn Uruk! ! The Uruks were indeed a species much stronger than the Orcs in terms of physical fitness, intelligence, and obedience. In order to fulfill their master's orders, they could even restrain their innate desire for killing and bloodthirstiness. They were also quite united and had almost no internal strife.
Sometimes they would do whatever it takes. If an enemy stood in their way, they would kill him. If one of their own stood in their way—
"You bunch of stinky orcs, get out of the way!"
Just as they had sent the pack of wolves away to deal with the ferocious human, another group of orcs came running over after hearing the noise and gathered in front of the road.
Captain Oak stepped forward and asked, "I smell blood. What happened here?"
"The Wargs are on the hunt. You are late."
"Fresh meat?" the Orcs cried excitedly.
"Of course, there are still quite a lot. It is estimated that there will be fresh blood and meat slaughtered every second."
Uruk, who took the lead, said meaningfully.
"Looks like we're going to have some meat tonight!"
The Oak Captain shouted to the back, and seeing that the Orcs were about to fight with the Wargs for food, he suddenly seemed to have an idea, and asked doubtfully:
"Wait, what about you guys, why did you leave?"
"Haha, we're full, the remaining scraps are yours."
Captain Uruk threw his head back and laughed twice, then waved his hand and retreated with his men.
"Pooh!"
Captain Oak spat at their backs, thinking that even though it was leftovers, it was still good to have something to eat.
So he immediately said excitedly: "Follow me..."
Ga.
My throat seemed to be strangled and suddenly I couldn't make any sound.
A figure gradually approached, holding the body of a wolf in his hand, which looked like it had just been killed.
Plop.
The dead wolf was thrown aside.
The wolf pack was completely destroyed.
"These damn guys!"
The Oak leader shouted angrily, and his men behind him scattered and fled in different directions.
However, no matter how fast they run, they are destined to be outrun by a guy with endless physical strength.
When the bodies of the Orcs and the Wargs fell to the ground in disorder, the Uruks had no companions to cover them and could only run forward in fear.
"Almost, almost..."
Minas Morgul is here!
"Hurry, speed up. As long as we retreat to Minas Morgul, the Witch King will protect us!"
Captain Uruk encouraged his men.
"If only we could get there, if only we could get there..."
The Uruks ran forward desperately until they reached a crossroads.
After passing the intersection and walking a short distance, you will reach Minas Morgul.
Isildur, the High King of Gondor who cut off Sauron's finger and took the One Ring on it for himself, built the sister city of the Royal City, Minas Ithil, one of the most important cities in Gondor, at the very border of his country, which was also the gate to Mordor, blocking the way there.
At that time, the White Tree of Gondor was even planted here, and it was almost as important as the capital.
But later, as Sauron settled in Mordor, the land was gradually covered by shadow.
You have to know that Sauron was in his prime at that time and had not yet lost the ring. Naturally, Minas Ithil was soon captured by the army led by the Ringwraiths and became one of the important fortresses of Mordor.
The White Tree planted there was also destroyed, but fortunately Isildur brought back a seed and replanted it in the White City.
After Sauron was defeated, this place was reconquered by Gondor. However, in the days that followed, with the death of the High King, many events, both large and small, happened in Gondor, and its national strength gradually declined. Finally, this place was captured by the Ringwraiths again.
When Sauron returned, he named this land the territory of the Witch-king and ruled it. After his arrival, the Witch-king cast evil black magic on this place, making it barren, the air filled with poisonous fog, and the water flowing with deadly toxins.
From then on, Minas Ithil was renamed Minas Morgul, which means "Tower of Witchcraft".
Except for evil creatures like Orcs, all life that sets foot on this land will be constantly harmed by poisons and diseases. In such an environment, even if Gondor could gather an army of 100,000, it would be difficult to capture this fortress.
Because of this characteristic, Minas Morgul gradually gained the name of "Minas Morgul" over the long years.
This place, even Levi has to drink a mouthful of honey from time to time to detoxify...
"There's a crossroads ahead."
Captain Uruk felt relieved as he looked at the ruined statue of the King of Gondor that appeared at the end of his sight.
"Hold on tight, the crossroads leads to the Lord Witch King's territory, he doesn't dare to come in!"
"The Witch King protects us."
"Yeah?"
Clang! The long sword slashed out, rubbing against the armor of Uruk who was running in the front, creating sparks.
Tsk, so hard.
But it's just a little bit harder.
He swung his sword again, killing the Uruk in front of him. Levi then kicked another one down and executed him on the ground.
"I can't run away, I can't run away..."
Captain Uruk couldn't stop himself from retreating.
Seeing his subordinates being slaughtered by the ghostly black shadow, Captain Uruk could no longer remain calm.
Just as he roared and was about to rush forward to fight, Levi suddenly stopped, knocked away the butcher's knife with a sword, grabbed Captain Uruk's neck, and pressed him to the ground.
The face that made Uruk feel terrified slowly approached, and he said: "Go and tell your people that this place is mine, don't come here to make trouble if there is nothing to do."
"If I see anything coming to harass us again, I don't mind spending some extra time to clean up your military camp from north to south."
"Go away."
His neck relaxed and the feeling of pressure on his chest disappeared. Captain Uruk stood up, panting heavily, and crawled. He didn't dare to look at Levi, and ran back quickly.
There was much killing tonight.
The blood-red sun rises from the horizon.
"Bloody Day... There must have been a massacre last night."
Located in a wasteland full of dead trees and gray-yellow weeds between the crossroads and Minas Morgul, the two rangers looked at each other and noticed the solemnity in each other's eyes.
"Have we had any big moves recently?"
“Never heard of it.”
"Then where does this killing come from?"
Ha ha…
Rough breathing and the sound of armor rubbing against each other came from the roadside, and the two rangers immediately crouched in the grass, hiding themselves with cloaks.
"One Uruk, and no other."
After confirming the situation, the two exchanged glances again.
"Dry!"
Swoosh——
The dagger was drawn out, and when Uruk passed by, the ranger suddenly emerged from the bushes and in an instant put the sharp blade across Uruk's neck. Uruk immediately dared not move.
"Tell me, what actions have you taken recently?"
Realizing that he was captured again, Captain Uruk was immediately furious, but he did not dare to show it.
What should I do now? What should I do... Use the name of the Witch King to curse them and intimidate them? No, no, according to the temperament of the stinky ranger, if I really do that, I'm afraid I'll be killed immediately.
That's the only way...
"Action? Haha, there is a big action!"
"Damn Ranger, I advise you not to touch me. I am here to pass on a message for that master. If you delay his business, you will be in trouble!"
"Who is that adult you are talking about? Tell me!"
The two continued to question.
"Of course it's your legend, Lord Levi."
Huh? The two rangers were a little confused.
"This is really enlightening. A despicable man from Mordor actually wants to threaten us with the names of our own people?"
"So are you going to let it go, or not?"
Somehow, Captain Uruk was unusually calm at this moment.
He could clearly feel that the hand that was pinching his neck had loosened its strength a little.
It was a bit quiet, and for a moment the two rangers were tangled up in an argument.
To let go or not to let go?
"How can we be sure what you said is true?"
"I can swear to it."
"Your oath is worthless, you filthy creature."
"Hehehe... Whether you believe it or not is up to you. But I want to ask, are your eyes grown just to make you look like blind people? Can't you see for yourself whether the things are true or not?"
The hand that was pinching his neck suddenly tightened, and Captain Uruk struggled and said, "All the troops we sent out were wiped out by that lord, but he spared my life. Isn't that enough to prove it? Or do you think that with that lord's ability, he could have missed killing even one person?"
The ranger narrowed his eyes and stared at the cunning guy.
It was obvious that the life of this Uruk was in his hands, but at this moment he actually felt helpless.
He once again exchanged glances with his other companion.
The two people's results are consistent.
If what he said was true, then this matter was indeed more important than the life of a mere Uruk.
Pop.
The Uruk captain was let go.
"Go away and do your own thing!"
"If we find out that you are lying, you'd better never set foot outside of Mordor. Otherwise, you will die the first moment you step out of that land."
“Ahem…”
Captain Uruk took two deep breaths and gave a cunning smile.
"Of course, haha, I'm glad you made the right choice and didn't delay the adults' business."
it works!
It really worked to report that person's name! Captain Uruk ran towards the direction of his main force again, feeling secretly delighted.
This is much better than the curse of the Witch King, and even better than the master... No, no, I will be loyal to the master, even if it means sacrificing my life...
The evil will once again took over and enveloped the mind.
This will began to waver slightly, but in the instant that it wavered, the darkness rushed forward even more fiercely and filled the tiny crack.
However, the cracks have finally appeared, and they are under the huge dark will, or only under the darkness.
Thanks to Yiyuyueer for the 5,000-point reward, and thanks to the friends who voted, thank you, thank you!

I originally wanted to add two more chapters to finish things here, but I overestimated my efficiency. There was not enough time, so I only wrote half a chapter and merged it here directly (this chapter is finished)
