Chapter 247 Quick Completion

Chapter 247 Quick Completion

In Middle-earth, due to the absolute position and powerful abilities of wizards, they have a natural right to join in the fun.

The same is true today.

However, in addition to joining in the fun, wizards usually have certain command authority in the same camp as long as the lord and regional manager do not prohibit it.

As for the level of this command authority, it is linked to reputation.

For example, Gandalf. If the White City loses its Prime Minister during the war and there is no successor in a short period of time, he can even take over the command of the Prime Minister on the spot.

With the accumulation of thousands of years, the status of wizards is now second only to the supreme ruler, and their role is omnipotent and they can fill in wherever there is a lack.

Oh, except for Brown Robe, he is a relatively alternative pure auxiliary wizard who is not good at commanding and fighting.

He can summon animal friends though.

"Everyone, pay attention. Pay special attention to the southwest. The Orcs will most likely attack from there!"

"Ranger team over there, go gather intelligence near the bridge and monitor the progress of the Orcs' march. I need their latest news."

At the Riverfort, Gandalf prepares for the coming battle.

He is currently the supreme commander of Riverside Castle - this is with Levi's permission.

As for Balin who was following beside him, this wise old warrior who was one of the few dwarves with extensive knowledge and scholarly demeanor, was also a general-level figure. He could be the best striker on the front line and an excellent commander in the rear.

"Are we just going to wait here?"

Balin stared across the river towards Moria, wondering what was going on.

"If you want to take some action, there are some things I can leave to you."

"What?"

"Go to Rivendell and talk to the elves, and call for some reinforcements."

"Then I might as well rush into Moria by myself now. Besides, didn't Levi say that there is no need to ask for help?"

"Of course, of course he doesn't need it."

Gandalf thought about it and said, "But if the time comes, maybe he won't need to ask for help at all. The nearby allies will come by themselves."

When something big happens, if Levi asks for help, it means that the situation must be very urgent and support must be provided as soon as possible.

And if Levi did not ask for help, it means that he might not have enough time to ask for help, and the situation must be more urgent, and he must have needed emergency support at a faster speed.

Crash——

The boiling magma fell down layer by layer, and when it reached the bottom, it was turned into stone by a bucket of water that also fell quickly from above.

This is the "emergency wall-building method" that the people learned from the lord. Of course, everyone knows that this can only be done in the territory where the lord has magical power. It is useless if you are far away.

There are naturally different ways of doing things outside.

When the high wall was initially built in a circle, a ranger who had been sent out to gather information returned. He looked very anxious, and not as calm and composed as before.

"They will arrive in as little as two days."

The graduated official ranger panted and said, "Also, the previous news was not accurate. The number of this Orc army is even greater, at least three times the number of troops we can gather in the short term."

"At least 15,000, and equipped with a large number of siege beasts."

"It seems that they are coming out in droves."

"And, the 'Nazlings' you mentioned earlier, we have observed that there are at least three of them here."

"At least?"

"Yes, at least."

"We have been discovered - I guarantee that there are no mistakes in our disguise and concealment, but one of the Ringwraiths suddenly rushed over with a scream. He seemed to know the hiding places we usually choose, or rather, he knew our habits very well."

When this was mentioned, the ranger looked frightened.

"Fortunately, our horses are fast and very strong. They didn't fall down even after being shot by several arrows."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't be able to come back."

As the ranger spoke, he patted the fast horse beside him and fed it some wheat.

If Levi were here, he would see that the horse's health was recovering, and before feeding the wheat, it was actually just a skin of blood left.

Those arrows almost killed the horse equipped with iron horse armor and had more than thirty drops of blood.

"All the horses in Roadside Castle are like this. They are fast and not afraid of pain, nor of extreme cold or heat. They can run for a long time with only a little grass occasionally. Even if they are injured, they can recover quickly by feeding them some wheat."

Gandalf shared his experience.

"The only drawback is that it's a bit dull. If you don't ride it or tie it with a leash, it won't listen to you."

“I agree.”

The topic soon turned to horse management.

I have to say that this kind of horse is really convenient. You don't need to take care of it. When you don't need it, you can just put it somewhere like an object. It doesn't need anyone to take care of it. You can just ride it and run when you need it.

"Wait, now isn't the time to discuss this, is it?"

Balin could not understand what the two were discussing because he did not often ride horses, and dwarves usually rode wild boars and goats.

And these two species...Levi didn't raise them.

"Oh, you're right, this is definitely not the time to talk about this."

Gandalf came to his senses suddenly.

It’s all Levi’s fault. The residents of his territory have the same temperament as him. They can be fighting for life and death one second, and start chatting about daily anecdotes the next.

The ability to distort the building is extremely strong.

"What we should do now is to strengthen our defenses."

"That's right."

The ranger agreed and joined the construction work right away, blending into the team quite naturally. He took over a block and started building.

Including the reconnaissance team members who returned later, after seeing the captain working, they all joined in.

Gradually, with the return of the rangers wandering in the surrounding wilderness, the number of rangers working on the city walls even exceeded that of the construction team, and they became the main force of the construction.

"Well, they did it."

Balin looked at the rapidly rising city wall and was a little dazed for a moment.

"It seems there is no need for help. What should we do now?"

Now Gandalf was a little at a loss.

All the important work is being done and nothing unexpected has happened. This is all too smooth.

"Now that things have come to this, let's eat first."

As it was getting dark, the two of them went to the makeshift canteen to line up and get some food for dinner.

Although it was a temporary outpost, the supplies were quite abundant. Basically, whatever you wanted to eat was available, and there was no limit on the quantity, including alcohol. However, since it was in the war preparation period, you could not drink too much. At most, you could take a small sip with your meal.

Tonight was not peaceful. The construction team took turns to work hard to make the high wall completely surround the territory. They even did the bank protection project at the same time. The sand and gravel on the riverside were replaced with solid stone walls.

The waves beat against it, but the wall remained motionless.
