Chapter 228 Black Gate

Chapter 228 Black Gate

Dagorlad, a large plain with a wide view directly opposite the Black Gate in the north of Mordor.

It is called the "War Plains" because several important wars that influenced the direction of Middle-earth took place here.

For example, in the Battle of the Last Alliance at the end of the Second Age, the last alliance of elves and humans fought a decisive battle with Sauron, and finally defeated him at the cost of the loss of two High Kings and a large number of guards around them, and took the ring from his hand.

This battle mobilized the forces of almost all the free camps in Middle-earth, including Lindon, Arnor, Gondor (Rohan had not yet been established at that time, and that land belonged to Gondor), Moria (Khazad-dûm), Lothlórien (Golden Forest), Mirkwood...

All the elite forces of dwarves, elves, and humans are gathered here.

Their opponents were the Orcs and the Black Númenóreans led by Sauron, as well as a large number of other evil creatures including various behemoths. According to records, their number was "innumerable".

The decisive battle between the magnificent free army and the countless dark creatures of Mordor broke out on this plain covered with ash.

This fight lasted for seven years.

However, even after reaching Sauron's hometown, the Alliance army was still unable to break through Sauron's evil black tower. They were helpless against the tower that was reinforced with magic.

If Soran hadn't walked out by himself and faced the army alone, and finally failed due to carelessness, maybe he could have survived for a while longer.

To be honest, given the situation at that time, even if Levi were replaced by Sauron, he might not survive.

——Of course, the premise is that he does not use his various characteristics to prepare in advance and just rushes forward.

After all, even if we put aside the army, the leaders on the opposite side alone are several supreme kings and elven lords who are wearing rings of power and possess various magical powers.

Not to mention that there are a bunch of guards with the combat strength of an adult Aragon level assisting them, which makes it really difficult to fight.

It seems that Sauron has a hard time.

After the War of the Last Alliance, there was the War between Gondor and the Easterlings in the Third Age. At that time, the Easterlings were very strong and almost conquered Rohan...

The carriage continued to move forward, grinding on the road.

Levi lay on the pile of cargo, looking up at the sky, recalling what had happened on this vast, gloomy plain. As he thought about it, he inexplicably felt sleepy.

With the occasional slight bumps from beneath him, he soon closed his eyes and slowed down his breathing.

Although it is not necessary, sometimes sleeping can be a form of entertainment and relaxation. …

In the north of Mordor, a magnificent gate made of steel bars and black stone stands here, blocking the only smooth entrance to Mordor.

Apart from this place, the entire territory of Mordor is surrounded by the tall, dark "Shadow Mountains", which cannot be crossed by ordinary means - this is a huge natural barrier that also provides security for Mordor.

Under normal circumstances, the only way to enter or exit Mordor is through this gate. One can imagine the number of troops stationed there and how strictly it is guarded.

In the past, no one dared to pass by here.

But...

Clank, clank…

Rows of carriages loaded with goods moved openly on the road, without concealing their movements.

"What is that?"

When the orc sentry on the gate saw the human caravan passing by leisurely, he almost thought he was hallucinating because he had not eaten meat for too long.

Those maggoty breads are really bad for Oak.

"Am I hallucinating?"

Just as the first Oak who saw the convoy began to doubt himself, the Oak patrolling nearby also made a sound.

"I seem to see a human convoy loaded with goods walking on the road, not far from us, right over there."

He stretched out his hand and pointed forward.

Clang.

At this distance, you can even faintly hear the sound of wheels rolling.

"They don't look like our allies."

The two orcs stared with wide eyes.

A riot broke out.

Boom!

The huge steel door opened slightly, and a team of fully armed Orcs rushed out from inside, with several huge Ologs covered in steel armor as the vanguard.

The caravan guards raised their weapons and stood ready, nervously preparing for the attack.

Several of them couldn't help but tremble their hands.

This thing looked much more formidable than any enemy seen before, even the cavalry of Rohan. Even the equipment of the Orcs was better than anything seen before. In comparison, the Orcs of the Lone Land were wearing just a bunch of rags.

The atmosphere became increasingly depressing. Seeing the distance between the two sides gradually shortening, when Olog was about to rush over and overturn the carriage—

A figure sat up from the pile of goods in the middle and glanced over here.

The Orcs paused, and the leader gestured to stop his men behind him.

Only Olog was still rushing forward foolishly.

"Idiot, come back!"

Whoosh——

An arrow set one of them on fire, and Levi threw out an ender pearl and jumped off the carriage. While the Orcs were still nervously watching his movements, a piece of purple particles fell, and Levi had appeared above the head of another Orlog, raised his sword and inserted it into the gap in the steel armor.

Phew!

A large amount of dark blood gushed out, soaking Levi's armor with a shiny glow.

"roar!!"

Olog roared, grabbed Levi and threw him high into the sky with his great strength. However, when he looked up the next moment, Levi's figure disappeared again. Familiar purple particles floated down, and in the blink of an eye, he was standing on the head of the third Olog, once again raising high the long sword shining with azure light.

“Ugh!!!”

In a flash, three Ologs were crippled, and the remaining one stopped charging, looking at Levi with a little fear in its eyes.

Boom! As it retreated, darkness enveloped its heart, strengthening its will.

"For the Master!"

A dark language that was only popular among the evil creatures of Mordor was shouted, and it carried with it an evil magic that even made the Orcs break through the shackles of fear for a moment and become restless.

That language was created by Sauron... the same language engraved on the One Ring.

Not good.

"Shut up!"

Levi quickly threw out a pearl and teleported over, then slashed the tendons of the Olog along the gap in its armor with a sword, forcing it to half-kneel down, then charged up power for one second to launch an armor-piercing attack to cause damage to its key parts, and then quickly finished it off with a few more sword strikes.

The other three confused Ologs raised huge battle axes or clubs in their hands, which were wider than a person standing, and rushed over to fight with Levi.

Levi did not dodge or evade, but relied on his shield to withstand the steamroller-like attack, and then he fought against the group attack and killed the Olog who was the most seriously injured.

Boom!

The shield broke, and the emergency mechanism of the belt was triggered. A shock wave burst out from it, directly knocking over the remaining two Ologs.

Now that they have all fallen, one can imagine what will happen to them next.

The last Olog fell silent.

As the few troops in Mordor that can pose a threat to Levi, they have done their best.

The shield slowly recharged and covered the entire body again.

In fact, whether it is the giant elephant or the Olog, they can be killed without any harm with a little operation like flying a kite. It is not certain whether they can encounter Levi before they die.

Unlike the Ringwraith at the crossroads before, he couldn't dodge that time and couldn't escape without getting hurt. It was a battle on a completely different level from the pure strength contest now.

Killing the enemy without getting hurt is good, but how can that be as shocking as confronting the enemy head-on?

brush--

Drawing his sword, Levi looked again at the orcs who were becoming restless because of the Black Whisper.

After seeing Levi not dodging or evading and resisting Olog's huge steel axe and hammer, they immediately became obedient.

Click.

Olog's head was chopped off along with his helmet, and black blood spurted all over the ground.

This is a brutal form of intimidation.

He raised his sword and pointed it at the Orc leader.

"If you don't want me to dig up this door and clean out all the moving objects inside, then go back."

The Oak leader swallowed his saliva, signaled his subordinates behind him with one hand, and while staring at Levi, he slowly retreated until he retreated into the door.

Bang!

The huge, dark, heavy steel door closed, blocking everything out again and isolating the things inside.

"Let's go."

Levi put away his sword and got in the car.

After thinking for a while, he said to Charlie, the head of the caravan, "You're right. We'd better not pass by here next time."

This action was still somewhat lacking in thought.

The real elite of Mordor - like those Ologs, as long as Sauron is alive, they will not be afraid of anything, unless they are facing an opponent that is over a hundred meters long, such as a fire dragon or a Balrog, which can completely crush them with its intuitive ecological niche.

It's really okay to pass by the Black Gate alone. If intimidation doesn't work, the worst that can happen is a fight.

But this is not the case for the subjects.

Just like just now, if I use a harmless attack and dodge a few times when fighting Orlog, the opponent may think that I am showing cowardice, and then the Orcs will rush over all at once... and I can't split myself, so I will definitely not be able to stop them all at the same time.

It's still too wasteful.

The relaxation of acting alone all the time almost made Levi overlook one thing.

——Mordor is never an existence that is easy to mess with.

Thanks to the giant panda for the 100 points reward, thanks to Dongdong's study for the 100 points reward, thanks to the friends who voted for the monthly ticket and the recommendation ticket, thank you thank you

I'm done. I need to catch the fish I caught two days ago.
