Chapter 278 An Unknown Journey
In this brown land, Levi planted an oak tree and ripened it.
The reason why the Brown Land is called Brown Land is because there is no life on it. The vitality of this land has been fundamentally cut off. Even the most tenacious weeds in the entire Middle-earth cannot survive here.
So much so that thousands of years have passed and no tree or other plant has grown on it.
After Donglinwan was cut down, there were still some tree stumps and weeds, but there was really nothing here.
But now it's different.
Levi broke the iron rule that brown land could not have any life, and thus a touch of green appeared for the first time on this land that had been barren for thousands of years.
A slightly yellowish, sickly green.
The brown land, the grayish-yellow sky, and the slightly yellowish oak trees don't look very healthy.
But... morbid? No, in MC's words, it should be - the leaves in this biome are like this.
If Levi planted a tree at the junction of brown land and green land, its leaves could even be half yellow and half green.
Very normal.
After the iconic tree was planted, Levi continued to build a small house next to it for temporary residence and settlement.
Ding! Just as Levi had built a wall, an arrow flew towards Ecthelion's chest, but Denethor, who had sharp eyes and quick hands, chopped it off with a sword.
The king and the prime minister may become lax after staying in the palace for a long time, but Denethor is different. He is at his youngest, and at the same time, his body is the most active and his organs are the most sensitive.
“Damn it.”
An Orc hastily retreated behind a hillock in the desert brown land.
But it was too late.
The view from the Brown Land is very wide - this was strictly verified by Sauron himself, who burned the land to make it impossible for his enemies to hide.
The direction from which the arrow came just now has exposed Oak's position.
"There are enemies!"
Eccelian and Senger immediately became alert and drew their weapons.
They all fixed their eyes on the hill not far away.
"Just go ahead and kill them and it will be a great achievement!"
A shout was heard, and from behind the hill came a host of Wargs and Orcs.
"Seventeen Wargs, and fifteen Orcs."
Denethor only needed a quick glance to see the total number of his enemies.
This is a standard raiding team.
He tightly gripped the iron sword in his hand, feeling a sense of crisis in his heart.
As long as he had five commandos with him, he would dare to fight the enemy.
But behind him at this moment was his elderly father and Uncle Senger of Rohan.
them--
Swoosh——
The two of them stepped forward simultaneously, changing their previous calmness and steadiness, revealing an indomitable spirit, as if the whole world belonged to them.
Denethor was startled.
"Don't look at us like that. We are just a little older, and our strength has not declined yet."
"Study hard, kid."
Whoosh——
An orc shot an arrow, but Senger dodged it.
Just as the orc was about to fire another arrow, his eyes suddenly trembled.
Just because a person suddenly jumped out from behind a wall behind the three people opposite.
That's... Damn it! ! Why is he here! ? "I didn't go looking for you, but you took the initiative to find me. You are so brave."
A voice sounded from behind.
"Follow me!"
Levi drew his sword and rushed forward ahead of the three others.
"rush!"
Senger shouted, following closely behind.
The other father and son also followed and attacked.
A legend, a king, a ruling prime minister, and a descendant of the prime minister who is praised as the most kingly in the prime minister's family.
The four of them charged towards the Oak group, their momentum rivaling that of thousands of troops.
Boom!
Levi's sword collided with the wolf's skull. Although it was just a sword, it performed like a hammer, crushing the wolf's skull and sending it flying into the sky.
The smell of burning fur is not pleasant.
This caused the wolves' momentum to slow down and their steps to hesitate.
At the same time, Oak behind him finally saw the face of the person who came.
Perhaps that person only existed in rumors, and these new Oaks had never seen him, but there was a certain aura he exuded that made them feel uneasy from the bottom of their hearts the moment they saw him.
【Oak Nemesis】
Hula——
As Levi charged into the raiding party, wolves and orcs flew up and down in flames.
The other three followed closely behind, quickly clearing out the orcs on the other side.
The fighting capabilities of Senger and Ecserion are not false. They have both served as generals and led large armies to fight on the front lines.
And Denethor, he is now the commander of the White City.
The encounter was over quickly.
When the last Orc fell, Ecthelion suddenly half-knelt on the ground, holding his waist and gasping for breath.
A trace of blood seeped out.
"Father!"
Denethor ran over quickly.
"Haha, I'm still getting older."
Ecthelion smiled.
He is already over seventy years old this year. Even though he fought so fiercely just now, it was mostly because his son was watching him. Even if he was tired, he could not show weakness.
The result was a careless mistake and he got injured.
The father and son came out in too much of a hurry, without any planning at all, and both were wearing light armor.
Levi came over and fed Ecthelion a bottle of healing potion.
"call--"
Eccelian touched his wound, which had healed, and said, "I feel much healthier now."
"It's been a long time since I last exercised."
The sun sets.
The four of them sat around the campfire, eating barbecue and drinking a bucket of cold beer that Levi had taken out from somewhere.
Quite refreshing.
In the next month, the four of them visited the outposts and the road town along the Old Rhovanion Road, and then went to Long Lake Town and River City, where they stayed for two days and witnessed the prosperity of Erebor.
Regardless of how the three people reacted, Bard and Thorin were shocked.
But despite being frightened, they still expressed their enthusiasm and did their best to show their kindness.
Coming out from here is naturally the Sky Road. The four of them went west along the Sky Road to the town of Karl to see the big square bees. At night, they squatted on the Karl Rock with Beorn, who had turned into a giant bear, quietly looking at the moon and thinking about life.
Next up is the roadside fort.
The tall golden tree, the giant tower that reaches the clouds and seems to have no end, and the dazzling library inside...all the grand scenes in the territory are impressive.
At that time, the legion champion Arwen happened to be in the territory, and Denethor boldly challenged him. Unexpectedly, the young son of the prime minister persisted for a long time and was defeated after a while of fighting.
"Not bad, young man. You are as good as the best Dúnedain in my team. It's a pity that you are not a ranger from Wayside Fort, otherwise I would nominate you for the Outstanding Ranger."
Denethor could not be happy to hear Arwen's praise.
Only he himself knew how much of a difference he had compared to the old ranger. If he had been the Legion Champion, he would have been more careful in his approach and he might have been able to wipe out the thirty-odd Orc raiding party all by himself.
I'm still a little bit short of it.
Denethor's mentality became more correct. During his days in Roadside Castle, he learned a lot from the rangers.
The journey ends at the riverside fort.
The four of them boarded the practical-class flagship built by Levi himself and visited this ship, which is probably the largest ship in today's era.
Senger, who was born in the grassland and had hardly ever taken charge of a frigate in Gondor, was just shocked, but the other two felt differently.
Gondor also had this huge fleet back in the day, and even stronger ones further back in time. It's a pity...
Heroes don't talk about the past, the present is what matters most.
The grand occasion of Riverside Castle strengthened Ecselion's determination to implement certain policies next.
Both Pelargir and Cair Andros need to be strengthened.
At the end of the month, it's time to return.
Several people passed by the gate of Isengard with great fanfare.
When the servants brought back the news, Saruman's eyes almost popped out of his head in the tower of Orthanc. He looked at the pass of Isengard in the south and almost thought that what he had done had been exposed and these heavyweights had formed an alliance to attack him.
Fortunately, it turned out to be just a false alarm and there was no movement over there.
The journey, which was neither long nor short, came to an end.
In the end, Senger returned to the Golden Palace of Rohan and continued to serve as his king, handling various matters, while Ecthelion and his son also returned to Cair Andros, rode their horses towards the White City, looking like they had just returned from an in-depth survey of the terrain.
All was quiet, nothing happened.
In 2958, Levi visited Rohan and Gondor successively to discuss border and road issues with the rulers of the two countries.
When Levi arrived in Gondor, the ruling prime minister Ecthelion and his son Denethor went with Levi to Cair Andros and conducted a terrain survey in the nearby wilderness.
However, this statement is questionable, because there seems to be records in Rohan about a visit from the ruling prime minister of Gondor, but no one in Gondor knew about it.
In the same year, the then King of Rohan, Senger, and Levi jointly inspected the situation of the Vold Road. They traveled all the way to the Northern Plateau in the northernmost part of Rohan and stayed there for a long time.
However, this statement is also questionable, because there seem to be records of visits from the King of Rohan and the Prime Minister of Gondor in the Dwarves of the Valley and the Lonely Mountain, but neither Rohan nor Gondor knew about it.
Only the parties involved and a small number of close confidants knew the specific itinerary that year.
After thinking about it, I decided to post all the updates at once.
A new chapter is about to begin.
