After the New Year, time came to 2942. In Allen's memory, this was a peaceful year, a year in which humans in the north could develop with peace of mind.
Moreover, this year's spring seems to have been blessed by God. The weather has become warm and mild very early. Even the snow on the top of the Misty Mountains has begun to show traces of melting after the Chinese New Year.
During the period after the New Year, Allen also conducted several simulations and went to the continent of Pendor and the magical continent of Calradia.
There was little progress in the simulation on Pendor. Originally, Allen wanted to open up several new identities to see if he could get more opportunities. As a result, all the two new identities died in the battle.
Even Allen, whose strength has increased again, cannot guarantee his absolute safety in Pendor Continent, especially when he encounters the established Dawn Knights and Dawn Swift Dragons this time.
When I think of Allen, I want to curse people. I finally got the identity of the village leader, but in the end I ran into this group of fanatical god worshipers who like to burn first and ask questions later. They are like dogs. They just come to burn down the village casually.
, without even giving him a chance to explain, the end result was that the unarmed Allen died under the group charge of the Dawn Knights.
The other time was even more difficult. Allen, who arrived at the Silver Blade Fortress, was actually besieged by Wolfbird, the "murderer" in the Misty Mountains. When Allen led his people to break through the siege with difficulty, he personally led his people to catch up.
.
In order to cover the escape of the civilians, Allen fought desperately and died under a big axe. However, the civilians did not run away and were captured. One can imagine their fate.
Although the continent of Pendor is extremely unsatisfactory, Allen has made some progress as a bounty hunter in Zenda.
He has bravely killed enemies in several bandit suppression operations and has been recognized by the Freedom Rider Rogge.
Allen's reputation for bravery and fearlessness has spread in Zenda and has been recognized by most bounty hunters. At this time, if Allen is willing, he can already organize a team of bounty hunters to attack nearby gangsters.
Already.
The only problem is that he doesn't have much money in Zenda and may not be able to hire too many people. This is a bit difficult. He can only wait for his finance minister Manid to "donate" some start-up funds to him.
In general, through several simulations in less than a month, it brought a total of 40 reputation points to Allen and an income of 5,000 dinars. Compared with previous years, it was much better.
At the very least, he will not appear as a serf with a hoe on his shoulder, a slave in shackles, or a cannon fodder on the battlefield. With such an identity, even if Allen has extraordinary combat abilities, he will be regarded as a spy, an alien, and an evil spirit.
Witches and other rubbish identities were hunted down and killed by the local noble army.
In fact, this kind of harvest is just so-so. The main reason is that I haven't gained any reputation, so the harvest is a bit unsatisfactory.
In this warm weather, Karl, who is responsible for the farming affairs of Wilderness Town, led his men to start this year's busy farming work early. The plan for the year lies in spring.
The relocation policy proposed by Jamila has also begun to have initial results. Town residents continue to take care of their families and drive ox carts towards the north, preparing to build more villages between Muma Village and Wilderness Town.
farm.
After all, there are hundreds of kilometers of fertile land between Muma Village and Wilderness Town. Roads have been opened there long ago. There is no threat of orcs at this time, so it is a good time to reclaim the land.
As for the south, Allen is not open to the people in the territory, and he cannot guarantee the safety there yet.
Although Fatis led thousands of soldiers to clean up the Black Forest again two years ago, how could it be possible that a thousand people could clean up tens of thousands of square kilometers of forest in more than a week.
Therefore, the land in the south must wait until the intelligence system is fully established before it can be opened to the citizens to migrate.
Allen also approached Kress about this matter years ago, and she is currently training some birds in Beorn's garden.
After training, Kress will go to the Black Forest near the old ferry and release the birds there.
These birds will return to Beorn's garden after a certain period of time and tell Kress what they saw.
Relying on this method, a preliminary attempt will be made to monitor parts of the southern Black Forest. If feasible, more people will be arranged to study with Beorn in the future.
After completing the study, an intelligence station was established in the Black Forest to form a relatively tight intelligence network and complete the monitoring of the Black Forest.
But things always have to be done step by step. Let Kress try the effect first.
After the New Year, the big eagle that flew in as usual brought some bad news to Allen. There were actually a large number of orcs near the high pass.
For this reason, Allen arranged for Kress to take Grimm to the Orc Town to investigate the specific situation there.
Yes, after the Chinese New Year, after Beorn agreed, Allen accepted Grim as his second attendant, and as his deputy, he cooperated with Kress's work.
It's just that Allen felt that Grim, who was very stable at a young age, might be more suitable to be the director of his intelligence agency than Kress, but Grim quickly shook his head and refused.
"No, no, no, Sister Kress is more suitable for this position."
Helpless, Allen could only officially entrust this position to Kress, who had an out-of-touch personality.
After receiving the order, Kress was extremely excited and took Grimm with her to set off. This was the first time she was assigned a mission alone by Allen, and she was still the captain.
After she came to Orc Town, she talked with the nearby animals and got some information about Orcs.
Feeling unsatisfied, she ignored Grim's obstruction and entered the depths of the tunnels in the Misty Mountains again.
That is to say, relying on his skill and boldness, and with Grim's support, Kress even sneaked into the cave where Allen shot the Orc King.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There, she saw densely packed orcs, the number of which was definitely no less than a thousand.
Then, she was discovered. Orcs' eyesight in the dark is much better than that of humans. If Grim hadn't turned into a big bear, picked her up and ran out quickly, people would have fallen into the orcs' trap.
In the iron pot.
However, Kress didn't care at all and didn't feel scared. Instead, he rode the big bear and ran down the Misty Mountains.
After returning to Wilderness Town, he immediately reported to Allen the specific situation near the high pass, and even took out a simple map.
"This is a bit like Artiman's sketch. When did the relationship between the two of them become so good? And isn't Artiman in Riverdale City?"
Allen looked at this simple drawing that could barely be understood, and his heart was full of doubts.
But Kress didn't take that into account. Instead, he pointed to a cave on the map with excitement and said:
"Boss, here, here, the squirrel that just came out to look for food told me that many dirty black guys entered this cave from this location. I looked at the traces, and there are at least hundreds of them."
Then Kress pointed to a gap and continued: "This location, this location, is the cave where you said you were ambushed last time. There are also fresh traces of activity there, many and mixed."
Speaking of this, Kress continued excitedly: "Also, and also, I quietly entered the Orc town. I simply counted, there are at least nearly a thousand Orcs entrenched there, boss.
Are you preparing to attack there? Bring..."
Before the word "I" came out of his mouth, Kress became more and more excited when he said it, and then he noticed Allen's face, and recalled Allen's words of advice in his mind.
"Didn't I tell you that you can just pry around for information from the little animals? Just the two of you went into the depths of the Misty Mountains to explore. Do you know that it is very dangerous? I even asked Grim to follow me.
you."
No need for Kress to think about it, Allen's worried and stern words had already been spoken.
"The information obtained from the outside is not accurate. Besides, Grim ran very fast after his transformation."
Kress's rebuttal voice became lower and lower, until Allen could only hear the sound of her mouth colliding.
This is also what worries Allen. This little girl, who is almost 20 years old, is certainly much more stable than when she climbed Carr Rock before, but her adventurous spirit has not changed.
This kind of personality is actually very suitable for the position of intelligence officer, but it will also bring more dangers.
"It seems that in the future we can only find a way to get more life-saving things for Kress."
Allen sighed helplessly and waved his hand, "Go, go, go and play with Grim, ah."
"Oh." Kress pouted and went out, but after walking out of the door, she quickly recovered, rode a horse and ran towards Beorn's garden, where there were dozens of birds.
Waiting for her to train is a very fun thing for Kress.
Allen, on the other hand, was frowning and tapping the table with his hands, thinking about how to deal with the orcs entrenched in the orc town.
Alice quietly brought a pot of tea to Allen, and then quietly exited the conference room. She was going to find Hermione to start today's training.
"I can't, like Kress said, lead my soldiers directly into Orc Town. The environment there is too complex and too dark. For my soldiers, there is no advantage at all. I can't do that! Then
It's a joke with their lives."
"Then how can I lure those Orcs out of Orc Town? And also make them come out in droves?"
With the sound of "ta", "ta" and "ta" tapping on the table, Allen suddenly thought of something. Coincidentally, this was something he had just thought about a while ago.
It was still the disaster of the Golden Iris and the death of Yin Hildu. There was a very important thing in this matter, and that was the Supreme Lord of the Rings.
According to some legends, the One Ring has an inexplicable attraction to dark creatures, and it was this attraction that ultimately led to Yin Sildur's death.
At that time, Yin Hildu used the power of the ring to run far away from the battlefield, but in the end some orcs still pursued him.
Yinsildur, who had just been abandoned by the ring and climbed ashore, died tragically in the Marsh of the Golden Iris because the light of Elendil's star revealed his position. The king of all the Dúnedain.
Allen believed that this incident must be affected by the ring.
In addition, during the War of the Ring, when Frodo and Sam were walking in the Swamp of Death, Khamul flying in the sky was also guided by this attraction, searching for Frodo.
, it is conceivable that the ring has this ability.
But Allen felt that the power of this ring fluctuated. When it was in Gollum's hands, it was relatively honest. When he was in the Shire, the Nazgûl was so close to Frodo, but he still couldn't find this ring.
ring.
Regarding these strange signs, Allen could only guess that these should have a lot to do with Sauron's state at the time, the distance between the Supreme Ring and its owner, and even the wishes of the ring.
Allen was wondering whether he could rely on the Supreme Ring's attraction to these dark creatures to seduce the enemies in Orc Town to attack him?
If it can be achieved, of course it will require some planning.
However, the top priority was to seek the consent of Bilbo Baggins himself. After an unpleasant experience, Alan did not want to touch the ring personally.
If he wants to execute this plan smoothly, then Allen must get the help of this close friend.
At this time, Bilbo Baggins had just finished his fourth meal of the day, oh, which was afternoon tea, and was lying comfortably on a chair, basking in the warm early spring sun to eat.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! For the hobbits, it would be better to have a bag of cigarettes at this time, but it is a pity that even Gandalf has no stock.
But Bilbo Baggins doesn't care anymore, because he will return to the Shire soon, and there are still several boxes of treasures waiting for him to dig out in the Troll Forest. From now on, this Hobbit will not
There will be a shortage of money to spend.
"Bilbo."
A voice reached Bilbo Baggins's ears from afar. He was about to fall asleep and started to stir up. Then he opened his sleepy eyes and saw Alan walking towards him.
He rubbed his groggy eyes and said, "Alan?"
In fact, he, Alan and Gandalf had just had lunch together, and now he was basking in the sun while Gandalf went out to do his own business.
But usually at this time, Allen is busy with matters in the territory and rarely comes to chat with him, so Bilbo was a little confused when he saw Allen at this time.
Allen didn't think about it that much. After he sat down, he directly stated the reason for his visit. His relationship with Bilbo Baggins did not require so many polite words, which would make it look very awkward.
"Bilbo, actually, I need your help with something."
"What's going on?" Bilbo was confused. In his opinion, Allen was a very powerful human lord, so what could cause trouble to him.
Later, Allen told Bilbo Baggins in detail his plan. He would lead a small group of elite cavalry as bait into the valley below the high pass.
After attracting the enemy's attention, there will be an army that has been prepared for a long time. As long as you find a suitable defensive position, the risk is not particularly high, and there is no shortage of caves in the valley.
In fact, before Allen came back, he had arranged for Desaiwei to take people to survey the terrain.
But at the end, Allen briefly mentioned the characteristics of the ring and emphasized that it might attract the attention of the orcs.
Bilbo Baggins, who has been carrying the Supreme Lord of the Rings for half a year, has already been affected by the ring at this time, but the degree of influence is very low. It will not change his kind character, but only aggravates his feelings towards
The possessiveness of a ring.
This possessiveness made Bilbo Baggins naturally ignore the dangers mentioned by Alan.
In fact, Gandalf already knew that Bilbo Baggins had such a ring at this time, but he knew very little about the Ring of Power and never thought that this ring was the most important one.
After all, before forging the twenty main rings, Eregion's craftsmen made some trial works, and the unremarkable appearance of the Supreme Lord of the Rings easily gave Gandalf such an illusion, and this ring only
It is not powerful enough to give Bilbo Baggins the power to escape into the underworld.
As a friend, Bilbo Baggins readily agreed to Alan's request, and discussed with Alan that it would be better to arrange the matter when they returned to the Shire.
The Hobbit, who has experienced a lot of dangers, does not think there is any danger in this matter. After all, he knows that Allen's army is still very strong. When the number of people is equal, it will only massacre orcs, and even more so.
Not to mention the help of skin-changers.
And this matter was known to Gandalf who came back in the evening, and he also decided to participate in this battle.
It's just that Bilbo Baggins didn't tell Gandalf about the ring. He just said that when he went home, he would help Alan solve this problem.
Gandalf did not have any doubts about Bilbo Baggins's words. After all, the gray robe wizard was also a person who dared to think and do. If he had an idea, he would work hard to do it. How could he have so much time to think about so much?
Allen had not thought about inviting Gandalf to participate in this operation, but he had also considered the reactions of the two friends.
Allen was sure that Bilbo Baggins at this time was no longer willing to talk to others about the Supreme Ring.
Although this is an evil ring, its charm is undoubtedly high and can even turn two people who are as close as brothers into enemies.
Gandalf's eagerness to return to Valinor, as well as his somewhat irritable and direct character, also determined that he would not have too many questions about this action.
Therefore, Allen is not worried that the identity of the Supreme Lord of the Rings will be exposed in front of Gandalf.
Now is not the time to clarify everything. Allen has been in this world for too short a time, and the strength he has accumulated is still far behind.
