Chapter 341: News leaked
This trip was out of the door.
"well…"
Levi couldn't help but sigh.
Sheluo was not killed. The guy had unexpectedly thick blood, thicker than a dragon. He beat her severely and let her escape.
After all, I have been searching for more than a month, and I can't just keep wasting time there.
But looking at her condition, she probably won't be able to go out for a long time, so that pass is considered safe.
Then there is Gollum.
The little guy was not found either, he didn't seem to be there.
But it doesn’t matter. There is a weirdo watching near the pass. He will let his army search for Gollum. All we have to do now is wait for news.
This trip couldn't be said to be without any gains, at least we found an ulterior motive, the Oak chief.
Sauron would never have imagined that there could be a traitor among the Orcs.
Although this race is chaotic and it is true that they often do bad things because of internal strife, throughout history, no Orc has ever betrayed their supreme master for tens of thousands of years.
After all, they were born out of darkness, and their nature destined them to be on the side of the dark camp.
Therefore, the supreme leaders of the dark forces of all generations seemed a little careless about the loyalty of the Orcs. They might think that the Orcs were unreliable and their individual combat power was not high enough, so they developed other new species, but they were not very cautious about the possibility that the Orcs would be rebelled by the enemy.
It's not that we look down on Orcs. For Mordor, Orcs are an important war resource and are of great use.
But, let’s put one thing at a time…
"I can stay here a little longer."
In the hall, Levi was still talking to Denethor.
"If they really plan to do something big, I'm here for them."
"Besides, I'm not the only one."
Hearing Levi's words, Denethor felt relieved.
Yes, it’s not just Levi, there’s also the forces behind him.
If Gondor had the strength of a free city, would the pirates of Umbar and the Harad barbarians on the border dare to act so aggressively? They would have retreated long ago.
Denethor had nothing to hide regarding the internal situation of Gondor. While chatting with Levi, he casually told him some of the highest level secret information that few people knew, or even that only he knew.
For example, the garrison of Minas Tirith, as well as the detailed deployment and equipment of the garrison - currently the local garrison plus the reinforcements sent by various territories total more than 20,000 people, all of whom are well-equipped elite warriors.
Even if the tens of thousands of Orcs and thousands of trolls gathered in Mordor really attack, we can fight them head-on, so there is a lot of room for maneuver.
Of course, a head-on confrontation is possible, but it is obviously unlikely to actually happen.
After all, these 20,000 men could be said to be the main force of Gondor, but those tens of thousands of Orcs were only a part of Mordor's forces.
Just a part of it is enough to make people feel breathless.
For safety reasons, Levi stayed in Gondor for several months.
Unlike the treatment Gandalf received, the whole of Gondor, represented by Denethor, the Prime Minister who was always considered stern and silent by the people of Gondor, had a very welcoming attitude.
Including Faramir, this adult boy often came to Levi to ask for advice on various things. This time, Denethor did not stop him and expressed encouragement, which was quite rare.
"Learn more from Levi. He once faced an army of tens of thousands alone and defeated it, forcing it to flee. He was brave and powerful."
Denethor taught his youngest son, saying, "I know you are careful and considerate of others, which helps you to see into the inner thoughts of others, but it cannot make you fight against the deepest darkness and evil."
"Father, I benefit a lot from your words, but I still have some different opinions..."
Faramir tried to retort.
It was obvious that Denethor did not have the patience to listen to his youngest son's advice. He interrupted Faramir and said sternly:
"You have never faced the darkness, so you don't know what I am talking about. I don't blame you."
"But you really should learn more from your brother."
"Yes...father."
Faramir lowered his head and replied helplessly.
He had long been accustomed to his father's favoritism.
I'm so used to it that I don't care anymore.
The respected gray-robed wizard once said that strong will and courage exist more in a person's heart and are truly reflected in a person's actions, rather than empty verbal promises or guarantees to oneself.
You have to try it yourself to know what the result will be.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, just do your own thing."
One night, seeing the child looking at the sky sadly, Levi came over and said a few words to him.
Faramir nodded in agreement.
His father said he wanted to learn from Levi, but Levi said he should stick to his own path.
Although this sentence is somewhat contrary to what my father said, after all, my father said that I should listen to Levi and learn more from him.
Overall, the weight here is higher.
So, the logic holds.
Faramir responded, "I see."
Although he didn't know what the child understood, Levi nodded as well.
"It's good that you can think positively. You don't have to be exactly like your brother. After all, you are two different people."
After talking for a few words, Levi didn't stay any longer.
At the end of the year, after confirming that Mordor was only strengthening its defenses and there was no further action, he left and returned to his own territory.
On the way back, I stopped by Rohan for a look.
Théoden remained healthy, and there were no unwelcome sights in the hall.
As Saruman has been surprisingly quiet and honest in recent years, Grima the 'Flange' seems to have lost his role and he has not appeared until today.
It is estimated that there will be no chance for him to enter the palace and become a 'Rohan Advisor'.
With Levi's departure, some changes occurred.
The army in the west of Gondor retreated in batches in the second year and spread to other locations.
Only two Orcs were left there, led by two chieftains, to guard the Tower of Cirith Ungol halfway up the mountain.
The evil surveillance statue at the door has been repaired, but it is obvious that the statue is not as ferocious as before and its size has been reduced.
At this point, more than a year had passed before martial law in Mordor was finally lifted.
Gondor also breathed a sigh of relief.
This year, Faramir was officially sent to the front line and stationed in Osgiliath with his brother to fight against the vicious enemy.
The two brothers were stationed on both sides of the river, one in the west city and the other in the east city, watching over each other.
As time goes by, changes happen quietly.
Some people have experienced hardships in war and become stronger.
Some guys, however, became increasingly mentally weakened by the torture and opened their mouths to tell everything they knew.
"The Shire, he's in the Shire, his name is Baggins!"
A howl is heard from within Mordor.
