Chapter 254: Encounter with Glorfindel
Let’s go back in time a little bit.
Before the war broke out, Levi had just passed through Midway Town and had just reached the west side of the Misty Mountains.
There were strange movements in the forest. A large number of ogres seemed to be driven out by something and were wandering around outside the forest.
Now that they had seen it, they could not just ignore it. So at the entrance and exit of the last bridge, Levi led his men down the road in advance and launched an operation to eliminate the ogres.
As the fight was going on, Glorfindel ran out with some Rivendell cavalry.
The brilliant golden light stung my eyes, and an elven sword forged in ancient times cut through my skin as hard as stone like cutting paper.
Under the huge force, the ogre was almost cut in half.
Boom! When the ogre fell to the ground, Glorfindel, who had swung his sword, appeared behind him.
"I didn't expect it would be you."
Levi kicked the ogre's corpse on the ground, but failed to move it.
So I had to walk around.
"Border scouts have sent me news that something is amiss in the Troll Forest. Lord Elrond has sent me here to check out the situation and support my allies."
In the area between the Troll Forest and the Last Bridge, Glorfindel explained the situation to Levi.
"But it doesn't look like you need support."
"Lord Elrond worries too much."
Glorfindel shook his head.
With someone like Levi around, this group of ogres can't cause much trouble. He very much believes that Levi can do this.
Just like he was sure he could do it, too.
"I have received Rivendell's kindness. You can go back and report to Elrond."
"The rest of the day we just have to see how we perform."
As he was talking, there was some noise behind him.
"One, two, hard!"
"drink!!"
Not far away, a large number of elite soldiers in full armor launched a siege on the remaining ogres. Although they used some means such as ropes to restrain the ogres and prevented them from launching effective attacks, their side still had a very difficult time.
They are just too hard.
"A bunch of weak bugs!"
The ogre shouted angrily and exerted so much force that he almost pulled the person holding the rope away.
Ding! The standard roadside fort's good sword chopped on the troll, but it made a crisp sound like using a pickaxe to dig for ore, and some people's weapons were even bounced away.
There aren't many people who can cause damage to ogres with ordinary weapons. Some rely on their own powerful strength, while others rely on their characteristics.
For creatures like this, perhaps the damage an ordinary person can cause to them with a pickaxe is actually greater than with a sword.
Levi sighed.
"Let's talk later. I'm going to go clean up the remaining trolls."
"I'll come too."
The two of them rushed towards the besieged ogres together. Seeing this, the soldiers quickly let go of the ropes and moved aside to make room for them.
When the rope was released and the ogre regained his freedom, he was about to roar excitedly and rush towards the soldiers, but when he turned around, he saw two tiny figures who dared to rush towards him.
Then it slammed down hard.
Boom! Levi raised his hand to block, and even without using his shield, he withstood the blow that was like a huge rock collapsing, without moving his feet at all.
His body was emitting an amber glow that was quite different from that of Glorfindel, and the rune shield faithfully blocked all damage for him.
Swoosh——
Another flash of golden light appeared, and Glorfindel's sword followed closely, chopping the ogre to his knees.
Levi also drew his sword, and the next moment, two sword lights flashed across the two sides of the ogre, circling half a circle each, and actually cut the ogre in half.
thump.
The ogre fell to the ground, split in two.
The other ogres looked at the miserable state of their companions and took two steps back.
Some of the ogres stared at Levi for a long time, then suddenly stopped, pointed at him and shouted:
"It's a money-eating ghost, it's a money-eating ghost!"
“Ahhhhh—”
It ran towards the forest, but seemed to have remembered something and temporarily changed its route to the north when it approached the forest, trying to return to the Etten Waste, the ogre's hometown.
But no matter how fast he ran, how could he possibly outrun the two people behind him?
Glorfindel leaped suddenly, jumped directly onto the ogre, raised his sword and stabbed it downward with force, executing the fleeing ogre on the spot.
He landed on the ground with light steps, and only the armor on his body made a slight sound.
When I looked up again, even my hair was not out of place.
Seeing this light footsteps and figure, the soldiers watching on the side began to discuss in a low voice.
"Who do you think is better at fighting, the Lord or him..."
"ally…"
Glorfindel turned around and found that Levi was chasing and fighting two ogres at the same time.
"What's wrong? What's going on? I just dealt with twice as many enemies as you."
Click.
After executing the ogre, Levi turned around and responded with his usual serious expression.
Glorfindel smiled politely and said helplessly, "It's okay... I just want to say that we have to speed up. The group of ogres are fleeing to the north."
"Okay, let's see who kills more!"
After leaving a few words, Levi mounted his horse and galloped towards the group of ogres.
After a moment.
Glorfindel looked at Levi and said a number: "Nine."
Levi's face froze, and he put on his elytra and flew north.
After a while, he flew back.
"What a coincidence! I killed just one more person than you did."
"You win." Glorfindel blinked and said nothing more.
"oh--!"
The victory was decided, and the soldiers behind him started to cheer.
The elves remained silent.
In fact, strictly speaking, half more should be added to the battle record of both of them. Yes, that is the ogre who was cut in half by the joint efforts at the beginning.
But these details are no longer important, and things here are temporarily concluded.
Under the leadership of Levi, the army immediately changed direction and stopped taking the Tian Road, heading directly towards the riverside fort in the south.
Anyway, this road is not that rugged, it's all plains and fields.
As for Glorfindel and the elven cavalry behind him, after cleaning up the battlefield, they prepared to march eastward and return to Rivendell.
Just as they had finished cleaning up and were about to mount their horses to return, a cry suddenly heard in the air attracted all their attention.
A huge eagle was circling and descending.
Glorfindel took the initiative and waved to it.
"What news do you bring, messenger of the King of Arda?"
call--
The eagle slowly descended, blowing up some sand.
It tells the news east of the Misty Mountains.
A network of traveling arteries formed in Glorfindel's brain.
"There's still time. I'll go after Levi now."
When Glorfindel realized the seriousness of the message conveyed by the eagle, he immediately mounted his horse and galloped south.
But as he said, not all horses run as fast as the horses in Roadside Castle.
All the horses in Lubianbao are of the king level.
This kind of thing is normal in Valinor, but it is a bit outrageous in Middle-earth.
Glorfindel was a little ashamed.
After thinking about it, the eagle followed and flew south with Glorfindel in the sky.
