Chapter 47 The lower valley of the high pass

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly and the climate was warm, so it was good to go out and give the enemy an unexpected surprise.

Allen and his group of more than 90 people carried supplies for five days, wore large cloaks that could cover their entire body armor, rode war horses, and galloped on the repaired road toward the old ferry.

Because Allen already knew the specific situation of the orcs in the Misty Mountains, he was also worried that these guys would rush out of the forest and hillsides to attack him at any time.

In order to retain sufficient physical strength to cope with this unexpected situation, under Allen's order, everyone just rushed towards the high pass at a not too slow speed.

In the evening of that day, they stopped in the wilderness between Gao Pass and Old Ferry. After setting up a simple camp, everyone repaired vigilantly all night under the shining of the stars and moon.

Bandak, who set out with Allen, led the infantry and archers to camp and rest near the old ferry twenty kilometers away, while the cavalry team led by Fatis will come from the wilderness town at dawn tomorrow.

Set off and get to the vicinity of the high pass before dark.

In this way, the three troops can form a state of sequential advancement, and after the decoy troops led by Allen are attacked, they can quickly receive support from the follow-up troops.

However, the surroundings of the camp were calm one night, and the orcs entrenched in the Orc Town seemed to have really abandoned the forest near the Misty Mountains and hid in the tunnels deep in the Misty Mountains.

There was no movement all night, but it made Allen have the slightest doubt about his bait plan. If nearly a thousand orcs hide in the dark tunnel and don't come out, doing nothing, all they want is

Reproduction has really become a trouble for Allen.

You can only chase a thief for thousands of miles, but there is no way to guard against a thief for a thousand days. If this happens, in less than ten years, the Orcs in Orc Town will inevitably come out of the Misty Mountains again and pose a certain threat to Allen's territory.

.

If the battle only takes place on the surface of the Misty Mountains, Allen will not be too worried, because sooner or later he will train a group of troops capable of fighting in the mountains.

However, this is only a passive defense, because according to the habits of the orcs, it is absolutely impossible for them to start a fair and direct battle with humans in broad daylight.

If they appear in front of a human army, they either have an absolute numerical advantage or there is no sunlight. Most of the time, they like to attack the enemy when both conditions are met.

What Allen lacks now is an army that can still exert 100% combat effectiveness in dark tunnels with complex terrain. This is difficult to find. Maybe only a dozen of his personal guards and Beorn and his family have such ability.

Already.

But it will take a long time for such elites to accumulate a certain number. Allen has set his sights on the Noldor elves in Pendor, especially the rangers, who are skilled in sword, shield, bow and arrow.

The orcs were killed in the tunnel, but it would still take hundreds of them.

This takes a bit too long. Now Allen still hopes for today's plan. If he can cause heavy damage to the orcs again today, he can win more time.

Thinking of this, Allen glanced at the high places of the Misty Mountains, which were full of jagged rocks and bits of unmelted snow. He had already led his team to the entrance of the valley at the bottom of the high pass.

In this valley, both the valley bottom and the not too steep slopes on both sides of the valley are covered with lush trees. As far as you can see, it is full of greenery.

In the center of the valley, among the trees, one can still barely see a trail with obvious artificial traces. It should be the nearly 40-kilometer-long road that Desaiwe reported, which can run through the upper valley.

Judging from the situation around the trail, the width of this road in the past was at least several times wider than it is now. Even the remaining width is enough for Allen and his men to pass.

Allen, who had already arrived here, took a deep breath of the breath of the trees, led the team on this still relatively smooth road, and walked slowly towards the center of the valley.

In addition to trees and roads, there is also a deep river bed at the lowest point of the valley. It should be a ravine washed out by the rainwater flowing down from the Misty Mountains when it rains. The rainwater will naturally gather here and flow into Anduin.

Hanoi.

At this time, the river bed had completely dried up. Allen, who was walking on the road, could take a casual glance and see piles of white bones somewhere on the river bed, both human and animal. They should have been mutilated by orcs.

Traces left by passing merchants.

As everyone continued to go deeper into the upper valley, the surrounding trees were no longer calm. From time to time, groups of birds were startled by Allen and the others.

This situation can only mean one thing, that is, the surrounding environment is very safe. Except for Allen and his party, there are no other creatures that can disturb the birds living in the trees, not even ferocious beasts.

As time went by, when a group of people walked through the upper third of the valley, stepping on dead leaves, the sky gradually darkened, and the light of the setting sun gave all the scenery in the valley a golden layer.

The light was as if the group of people were in a golden oil painting.

Allen, who was leading the team, had no time to watch such beautiful scenery. He was thinking about the progress of the plan in his mind. Throughout the day, there were no traces of orcs in the valley. This was nothing to his plan.

Good news, a wolf cry would work, but nothing would happen.

Allen will not waver in his plan because of this, because it is in line with the habits of the orcs. The sun is so bright today. If at this time, the orcs can still howl and charge from the hillsides on both sides.

Come out and attack the group of people.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Then Allen must not say anything, and immediately lead the people to retreat towards the way they came, because the enemy must be the Uruk of Barad-dur

, and their numbers must be astonishing, and only they can launch a surprise attack on humans on a clear day without fear of the sun.

The current situation is in line with the two results that Allen guessed. One is that the orcs are really scared. Even the Supreme Lord of the Rings on the hobbit next to Allen cannot seduce them.

come out.

Then Allen's plan can be declared a complete failure at this time, and in the future, he can only rely on stationing a large number of troops in the valley to maintain security here.

The other is that Allen's plan has been successful and the orcs have begun to take action, then everything will be revealed at night.

At this time, Fimbull, who was standing on the top of the mountain on the north side of the valley, looked at Allen and his group, feeling a little tangled in his excitement.

I remember that when thousands of wolf cavalry attacked Wilderness Town, he was still Yazneg's deputy. However, with the defeat of the battle, his boss died tragically at the bear's mouth of the skin-changing Grimm.

Fimbre, who was leading the remaining wolf cavalry, made a prompt decision in this situation and immediately ran away with the remaining troops. From then on, he naturally became the leader of this team.

In fact, Fimbull's life was pretty good after he became the leader, although thousands of wargs scattered after losing the war.

But Fimbull still had more than two hundred well-equipped wolf cavalry in his hands. Relying on these soldiers, he forcibly occupied the Orc town and became the new Orc King.

One gained a lot of benefits and slaves.

At the same time, in order to expand his own strength, Fimbre sent people to quickly encroach on the remaining orc strongholds around him. For a while, he had become the most handsome cub near the high pass of the Misty Mountains.

And those Orcs who originally set out from the Orc Town and went to Gundabad Mountain to participate in the Battle of Gushan were severely defeated by the coalition forces on the battlefield of Gushan. More than half of their companions died.

Several hundred people who survived fled back from Lonely Mountain in panic, only to find that their original home already had a new owner. Of course, they would not be willing to live here for a long time.

All of them faced off with more than two hundred elites led by Fimbull in a cave near the Orc Town.

Soon the orcs' roars, angry quarrels, and demonstrations of banging weapons filled the entire dark cave.

"This is where we have always lived, you do not belong here, get out of here, get out of here."

"We are in a bad mood right now and want to kill people. If you don't get out, I won't mind using this scimitar to bleed you."

With the support of hundreds of orcs behind him, there will naturally be some grumpy and self-righteous orcs who will stand up to confront Fimbull.

They raised their heads and negotiated with Fimbre who was standing on the high slope. They used the threat of war to leave their homes.

It's just that they abandoned their armor along the way and just ran for their lives. They had no idea how incompatible their verbal provocations were with their extremely haggard figures, and how easy it was to make people laugh.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguoyuedu to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. Yeguoyuedu is available for Android and Apple.]

Fimbull didn't make any answer at all. Instead, with a burst of laughter, he ordered his soldiers wearing elite equipment to attack the group of beggars.

How could the Wolf Cavalry, who had already received some benefits, give up the slaves and wealth they had obtained and leave the Orc town? If Fimbull gave the order to leave, the only response would be mutiny.

These wolf cavalry wearing scale armor and chain mail waved their more sophisticated weapons and howled as they rushed down the hillside. With just a simple impact, they dispersed the people who were originally clamoring to go home.

Little guys.

Soon, the cave was filled with the roars of the wolf cavalry. It was not easy for them. Only about two hundred of a thousand people came back from the battlefield. The fear in their hearts was no less than that of their compatriots who escaped from the lonely mountain.

.

Although they did not see their companions being burned alive with their own eyes, the miserable screams and the roar of the big bear would always linger in their sleep.

Facing weaker enemies, they naturally chose to vent their anger, as if this could dispel the fear that lingered in their hearts.

In this way, a small internal conflict between the orcs ended near the orc town. Fimbull won a comprehensive victory. Not only that, the dead orcs further supplemented their rations.

Those who survived became slaves and were distributed to his men again.

Since then, Fimbre felt that his rule had become much more stable. Not only were his subordinates very obedient, but they would also offer him whatever was delicious or useful.

I don’t know about others, but he has gained a lot of weight in the two months he has been here.

Originally, Fimbre didn't have any big ambitions and just wanted to live a stable life. But on this day, a sudden movement in his heart made him lead his people out of the Orc Town.
