Chapter 342 Tracking, Arresting
"The Shire, the Hobbits, the Bagginses."
Inside the evil Black Tower, pondering the news, Sauron summoned the Ringwraiths and began his own arrangements.
Clang.
The tower gate opened and Gollum was escorted to the border of Mordor.
"Weak and disgusting little thing, if you still want to live, then go find the ring, understand?"
"Don't try to play tricks. Our people will keep a close eye on you."
"Gurgle..."
Gollum nodded quickly, cried out weakly, and walked out along the pass path of Mordor.
"It's a dangerous place. I will never come here again, Gulu..."
Smoothly, under the instruction of the supreme leader of Mordor, Gollum left Mordor and arrived at the battle zone between Ithilien and Mordor.
At this moment, Guru just felt fortunate.
If you fall into the hands of Mordor, being able to survive is considered a success.
As for the ring, as long as you are smart and quick, you can never tell who will get it.
But no matter what, the current primary goal is to find it first.
Feeling the vague gazes all around him, Gulu felt his teeth itching with hatred.
"It's all the fault of that Hobbit, it's all his fault. I'm going to find him, to take revenge, to take revenge on him severely, to get our baby back, Gollum..."
Muttering this, Gollum walked out of the Gray Mountains and prepared to start his journey.
Then he disappeared, vanishing in the battle zone between Gondor and Mordor.
“Where did you go?!”
The spies and informants sent by Mordor became anxious.
If they lose track of him, Soran will literally skin them alive! "I'm sure the lord is talking about him."
At the border of Mordor, in an Orc camp, the lame weirdo looked at the strange little creature in front of him who kept yelling "Let me go if you don't want to be killed by your master" and kept making strange gurgling sounds, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
He hid Gollum secretly.
A few days later, a spy from Mordor came to ask about it, and the weirdo shook his head seriously.
"I haven't seen the thing you're talking about."
The spies who were responsible for tracking Gollum looked at each other, all of them having a headache.
They told the weirdo, "Tell your people to search carefully and inform us if there is any news. This is the master's order. Do you understand?"
"I see."
"As soon as I have any news, I will report it to the master."
After getting the weirdo's promise, several spies left with great enthusiasm.
And the weirdo did exactly as he said - he reported the news to his boss.
That night, several rangers in charge of the response set out from the stronghold at the crossroads and headed straight for the roadside fort.
…
Whoosh——
Arrows flew down from the city wall, blocking the sudden arrival of enemies outside.
On the Great Wall, Levi looked at the various monsters that appeared more and more frequently in the north and fell into deep thought.
"This is really unexpected. I never thought that Angmar was completely cleared and the Wall had to be used to defend other things."
"There are so many things you can't imagine."
Behind Levi, a voice came closer and closer.
"Gandalf."
The gray-robed wizard quickly dismounted, walked quickly to Levi, and said, "I know, I know where those things in the Northern Wasteland came from."
His expression was unprecedentedly serious.
"I had my suspicions long ago, but recently, I read some ancient scrolls from the ruins of Gondor and Arnor and finally found some clues."
"What clue?"
"Clues about the North Wasteland and the ring on Frodo's hand."
Gandalf felt his scalp tingling at the mention of these things.
How come so many important things happened at the same time? "There are two pieces of bad news."
"Two?" Levi raised his eyebrows and motioned Gandalf to continue.
"The first one is the northern wasteland in front of us. I have some clues about the evil creatures there. I have a very familiar feeling about them. This part of my memory was only awakened recently."
Gandalf whispered, "They are creatures bred by Morgoth, more evil and dangerous than anything in Middle-earth."
"I suspect they all escaped from some ancient underground fortress. Although Morgoth was driven out of this world tens of thousands of years ago and his fortress sank deep underground, as far as I know, there are still many things that have not been cleaned up and many mysteries that have not been solved."
"The demon wolves and the trolls in the ice caves are not important. In Morgoth's army, they are just miscellaneous soldiers. The main force of his army is a legion of Balrogs and the dragons that fight with the Balrogs."
Hearing this, Levi couldn't help but tilt his head back.
“That was quite challenging.”
“It’s more than just challenging.”
Gandalf shook his head.
"Levi, you... are still too young and haven't seen many things."
"The darkness that covered the sky and the sun, and the power to sink the land and destroy a huge country in an instant..."
Levi also shook his head and retorted: "What you said is unlikely to appear in this era."
"Oh, yes, that's unlikely."
Gandalf came back to his senses and continued, "Let's talk about another thing, the ring in Frodo's hand."
"That ring, I am sure, is indeed the One Ring - the One Ring that controls all the rings."
"I have suspected it for a long time, but I have never been able to confirm it. After all, as I said before, it involves too many things. Before getting definite evidence, I dare not make a hasty decision."
Levi asked with interest: "So, what makes you sure it is?"
"This is it."
"I spent half a year searching for this in the great library of Gondor. It was buried at the bottom."
Gandalf pulled out a crumbling scroll.
"The scrolls left by Isildur."
He unfolded the old scroll, pointed to a place on it and said, "Look here."
Levi leaned over and saw a golden ring painted on it. It was very detailed, with details in every direction.
“Exactly the same, right?”
"See, I told you so a long time ago." Levi spread his hands.
"Forgive me, Levi, it's not that I don't want to believe you, I'm just being cautious... you know."
"I haven't mentioned this to anyone else. Currently, only you and I know about it."
"So what should we do next? Try to destroy it?"
"It must be destroyed." Gandalf's attitude was very firm.
"There is no other way. Listen to me, Levi. You must not have any other ideas about the Supreme Ring except destroying it."
“There are too many tragic precedents.”
Levi smiled and said, "Then you can rest assured. I don't have any other ideas. Mainly, you should understand one thing. This thing is not necessary for me. I don't crave for the certain things it can bring..."
Just as Levi was speaking, another person came to visit at the Great Wall.
The man waved to Levi.
Then Levi's words suddenly stopped.
Of course he recognized him; that was the outstanding ranger he had personally assigned to guard the Crossroads stronghold.
"Wait a minute, I'll be back in a moment."
