Today's morning is still sunny and warm, which makes everyone busy in the camp feel happy.
Allen woke up to Jamila's gentle call. While washing, he observed that everyone in the camp was busy in an orderly manner. Allen understood that this might be Jamila's two dark circles under her eyes.
That's why I woke him up.
After a simple wash and breakfast, Allen took Artiman, Kress, and Alleyn and set off north along the river. In fact, he was followed by Desai Wei and half of the cavalry.
They were going to the north to perform patrol duties, and they happened to be on the way with Allen.
This situation lasted for about an hour. Everyone parted ways when they passed a huge rock. Desaivi and the others had to continue patrolling north for about half an hour before they could return. Allen and the others stayed next to the giant rock, observing.
The surrounding situation.
This huge rock is on a small island in the middle of the river. The river forms a circle around the huge rock. Alan looks to the west bank of the river and sees a cliff. Under the cliff is a rapid river. On the east bank is a shoal. The river is both
It is shallow and clear, and occasionally you can see a few fish swimming through the water. The river beach is full of pebbles, connecting a large grassland, until the distant hillside, with several small oak forests dotted around it.
, is very similar to the Carl Rock in Allen’s memory, but there are indeed many differences.
Comparing it with Carl Rock in the movie, the surrounding environment is not very similar. In the movie, there is no grassland around it, most of it is mountains and forests, and the river does not surround Carl Rock. In short, the surrounding landforms are not similar at all.
This made Allen very confused. Could it be that the film's perspective was too wide and he couldn't see what was underneath Carr Rock?
If compared with the Karl Rock in the original work, they are very similar, but there are no traces of artificial excavation here. There are no flat stone slabs on the river, and there are no steps carved on the boulders. This is not consistent with the original work.
Description, if this is really Carl Rock, then there is only one possibility that Allen can think of, and that is that Beorn has not come to live here yet.
In Allen's impression, Gandalf passed through here a few years before the expedition set off, but there was no clear explanation as to when Beorn was first discovered.
Gandalf only said that Beorn, who had transformed into a bear at that time, looked at the sun setting over the western mountains on the Rock of Kar and shouted, "One day, they will pass away, and I will return to my homeland."
What does this sentence mean? It means that Beorn comes from the Misty Mountains. Considering Beorn's joy after learning that the Orc King was indeed dead, it is not difficult to guess that it must have something to say to the Orcs.
Endless hatred.
Allen took a closer look. Well, at this moment, this girl had already galloped to the foot of Karl's Rock on horseback. Seeing that she was preparing to cross the river, Allen hurriedly found Yatiman and Karl to explain a few words, saying that he
Let's go back to the camp first and come back in the afternoon. Let the two of them take care of the matter first. At the same time, Irene and his personal guards should stay here to protect them to prevent any blind beasts from attacking the villagers.
Most of the elders in the village are old people who serve the nobles. They are the mouthpieces between the nobles and the common people. Karl adapted to the change of status quite quickly, although he felt very surprised that he suddenly came here in his sleep.
He was surprised, but the reliable young man in front of him made him feel at ease, and he clearly knew that he had already arrived. He knew clearly what was important and what was secondary.
"Ah, this is really amazing."
Soon, Karl and Artiman got together to discuss what work to do first. Under Karl's arrangement, some villagers had already picked up tools and started cutting down trees, and some villagers had already begun to level the ground.
The entire hillside is full of busy people.
"Look at the small oak forests around us, which are enough for our initial use. Even if they are not enough, look at the trees on the opposite mountain range, which are enough for us." Allen pointed to the Misty Mountains and then pointed.
Surroundings, "Look at these grasslands and hillsides, we can definitely open up large areas of farmland. We can definitely settle here and build a village."
Seeing the lifeless expression on Allen's face, Kress breathed a sigh of relief quietly, then walked to the side, smiled and whispered to Desai: "Do you know how beautiful the scenery above is? Next time
Let’s go up and watch together.”
Allen was just about to ask Kress to go back with him, but he couldn't find Kress. Kress disappeared again. Allen gently touched Allen's arm with the back of his hand, helplessly.
He pointed in the direction of Carl Rock and then spread his hands ╮(╯▽╰)╭.
Artiman is a professional engineer. He can build a castle without any problems, and he has no problem planning and building a village. After hearing Allen's question, he pointed to the highest hillside nearby and said: "Sir, I need to go to that place to see
Only by taking a look at the surrounding situation can we better answer your question."
After speaking, Allen stopped what he was doing, sighed, and said softly: "You must tell me in the future, you know?"
The two of them actually chatted and laughed.
After hearing Allen's words, Alleyn, who was following the protagonist, opened his mouth and pointed at himself in surprise, blinking, as if to say, is it me? Seeing Allen nodding to himself, Alleyn thought for a moment
He also nodded and accepted the responsibility.
Due to excessive shock, the soldiers and villagers who were summoned did not quite understand the meaning of what Allen said, but they could live a peaceful and stable life, they heard it, and they understood it.
At this time, Artiman and Karl had already arranged the place in an orderly manner, and Allen planned to go back to the camp. After all, there were more than a hundred people there who needed to be picked up by himself.
When Allen heard this, he suddenly felt like an old father facing a disobedient daughter. Once upon a time, his daughter, who was only six or seven years old, was like this. If you scolded her, she would stare at you with her lips pouting.
, ignore you, and wait for you to finish scolding her, she will do whatever she needs to do. Typically, you say what you say, but I won’t listen anyway, and I won’t change it either, which often makes Ellen smile bitterly.
Yatiman's eyes widened and his mouth opened as he stared blankly at the people who appeared in the white light, as well as a large amount of supplies and construction supplies. He murmured: "You, you", and finally understood in his heart that Aiman
What Lun said last night, what is the concept of bringing fellow Calradians here?
If it were the plot in the movie, it would be even more pitiful. Beorn himself said that his family was the earliest inhabitants of the mountains, and he bluntly said that his family was captured by orcs and put on display in a cage for fun. It was very sad.
It was miserable. At the same time, Allen also remembered the scars on Beorn's body and the shackles on his wrists in the movie. It was not difficult to guess Beorn's experience.
The crowd in the front gradually subsided because they saw Allen, a familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar person, and heard Allen's loud shouting. The crowd in the back actually couldn't hear what Allen was shouting at all, but they also became inexplicably quiet.
Coming down, perhaps the image of Allen covered in blood at dawn was too shocking. Even if he was well-dressed and riding a horse, it still made people feel scared.
Allen was a little distressed at this time. Originally, he wanted to use Beorn's power to live in this place for a while, so as not to be wiped out by the Oaks when he was weak. But now that they haven't come, he can only rely on
Thinking of this, Allen turned to Yatiman and asked: "Yatiman, do you think it is possible if I want to build a village here and then develop it into a town?"
These soldiers were very obedient to Allen and didn't say much. Most of them were young men in the village, either the second sons of the family or landless refugees.
Seeing that the villagers' work was on track, Allen remembered that there were more than a hundred soldiers waiting for him to arrange. He summoned all his team captains and asked them to temporarily disarm and help the villagers, but also build something for himself.
A place to stay.
Allen turned over and dismounted, and just as he led the horse closer, he heard De Sevi shouting loudly: "Kress, come down quickly, the master will be here soon, and he will scold you."
Then she rolled her eyes, waved to Allen, then took out a large bundle of rope from behind and tied it to a stable boulder. After tugging, she quickly slid along the rope to a platform in the middle of the boulder.
Then, with a few neat jumps, he walked down the huge rock and arrived at the island in the middle of the river. He waded across the river to Allen with a stern look on his face.
In fact, at this time, Beorn was leading his relatives to resist the waves of attacks from the orcs.
In fact, Kress didn't hear clearly what Allen was shouting at all. He just heard a familiar voice. When he lowered his head and looked, he was shocked and knew something was wrong. A scolding seemed inevitable, and he complained in his heart.
Wait, why are you finished so quickly?
But the one in the movie is different. He is dull and wary, as if he is still immersed in sadness and has not escaped the shadow of his family's tragic fate. Beorn here chooses to help the dwarves because he has a common enemy with the dwarves. This has great significance.
different.
At this time, he had not been driven out of his home by the Oaks from the Misty Mountains, so it was normal for Allen not to encounter him.
Seeing the few people following him nodding, especially Artiman who also agreed to the proposal, Allen took a deep breath, turned on the simulator, and hesitantly gave up the suggestion of Captain Veruga's Second Legion.
He summoned all the soldiers and villagers who were willing to follow him, and spent a lot of dinars to buy enough food for everyone to eat for a month and a large number of construction tools.
As he walked, he shouted: "I just want to go up and see if there are any enemies around here. What if the monster like yesterday rode a wolf and sneaked up on us, right? If there is danger, I can inform you."
It turned out that some villagers understood. They knew that they finally did not have to run away desperately to avoid the pursuit of Swadia soldiers, and they cheered. This emotion gradually spread to other people, making them forget for a moment.
They have left their familiar homeland and lost everything they did not bring with them.
Allen looked at the cheering crowd in front of him and quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Then he dismounted and found the elder, calling Yatiman over. Because the construction task of the village must have been completed by the two of them through mutual communication, and Allen was only responsible for it.
It's just issuing orders. A layman does not give orders to an expert. This is the correct way to do things.
After explaining all this, Allen mounted his horse and ran towards Carl's Rock. At this time, Desaiwei also came back with his cavalry patrol. When Allen ran near Carl's Rock, Desaiwei was
The cavalrymen looked up and watched Kress climb Carr Rock.
Looking at Kress who was still quibbling when he came up to him, Allen stretched out his hand and licked Kress's hair hard, and said angrily: "It's so far away, why don't you fly over and let me know?"
"Look over there." Artiman pointed to the oak forest in the distance and said, "Those pieces of wood can definitely provide us with enough wood for the initial construction of houses. It is probably enough even for building wooden city walls. It can be used for everything.
It’s not over yet, sir, I already have preliminary design drawings in mind.”
Allen pointed at the somewhat unnatural Yatiman and said to the elder: "Dear elder, this is Yatiman. He is an experienced engineer. We want to settle here. We want to settle here."
A stable life and building our home cannot be separated from his help. My initial plan is to build a village here. I hope you two can communicate more. If there are any problems that cannot be solved, just come to me to solve them.
.”
And Desaiwei, who had noticed Allen coming over for a long time, bowed his head and saluted Allen and said: "Sir, you are here, Kress." Allen smiled, shook his head, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay."
." Then he looked up at Kress and continued to climb Carr Rock. Seeing that Allen was not angry, Desaivi reported a few words about the investigation in a low voice, saying that everything was normal and nothing abnormal was found.
Nothing more was said after that.
After everything is on track, Allen will give them a choice. If they don't want to be soldiers, they can retire. They only need to respond to Allen's call at the most critical moment. Most of the time, they can live an ordinary life.
For those who continue to want to be soldiers, Allen will hand them over to Bandak for management later.
As for Allen's personal guards, that is, the nine people who have followed Allen for the longest time in the simulation, Allen summoned them to his side, pointed at Alleyn and said: "You will still be my personal guards from now on. See that person
No, he is my attendant, and he will be your captain from now on. His name is Alleyn, remember."
Moreover, there is a clear difference in the character of Beorn in the movie and the original work. Beorn in the original work is more agile, easy to talk and laugh, and likes to listen to stories. Although he does not like dwarves for various reasons, he accepts them because of a good story.
A member of the expedition team.
This silence made Allen, who looked calm on the surface, increasingly anxious. He had begun to wonder if he had no talent for speaking. He began to regret that he did not add a lot of charm when he added points, but instead added strength and agility.
, but this doubt and regret immediately disappeared.
Thinking of this, Allen, who was in a foreign country, felt a little warmth in his heart. The feeling of distress just now because of Kress's nonsense was gone.
Also, who would take the initiative to sign up for the army if they have a family, a living, and land? Joining the army also hopes to have a better life. Although they have left their original families at this time, they believe that Allen should be able to take them with him.
Live a better life.
Looking at Kress who climbed to the top, Allen gathered his hands into a trumpet shape and shouted loudly towards Kress.
In this way, everyone watched in silence as Kress climbed to the top of Carr Rock.
However, Kress and Alleyn were not too surprised by this major change because of their past soldier upgrades. They knew that their boss had special abilities, but because they had more and more companions, they knew that their boss had special abilities.
, and felt very happy.
After the elder sighed about the current situation, he heard Allen's words and said quickly: "You are too polite. Just call me Karl. If you have anything to do in the future, please just tell me. I will cooperate with Mr. Artiman."
Gets the job done.”
Seeing that the crowd in front of him became quiet, Allen worked up his emotions for a while and shouted loudly: "Villages and soldiers, don't be too panicked. I want to tell you some good news now. We are not going to Serenmi."
Alas, now we have come to a more distant place, this is a great wilderness, far away from the war between the Kingdom of Rhodok and Swadia. We will no longer be exhausted by frequent wars, and we will not be exhausted because the nobles are helpless.
You are suffering from hunger and cold due to endless oppression. I promise that I will do my best to protect your lives. I promise that everyone will have a peaceful and stable living environment. I promise that everyone’s life will get better and better.”
However, until now, Allen still doesn't know the name of this elder.
Then Kress suddenly stopped halfway through the climb and shouted without looking back: "Just scold me. I just want to go up and have a look. This is not the first time you scolded me. It's okay. I
I'm used to it." After that, he continued to climb up.
"Is it fun up there?"
After finishing Alleyn, Allen carefully observed the remaining nine people. The young man he liked the most was missing. It was obvious that he died in the last battle. Allen felt a little bit.
It was sad, but he also understood that whether it was in the simulator or in Middle-earth in this era, it was completely normal for a human being to not live to die.
Allen looked at these people at the bottom of the war era, his eyes full of wonder. Their survival needs were so low that Allen could not even imagine, and their will to survive also made Allen admire him extremely.
Then the four of them rode horses for half an hour and arrived at the hillside pointed by Artiman. After looking at the surrounding environment, Artiman pointed to the Anduin River in the east and said: "Sir, look,
The location we are in is the highest place within a radius of dozens of miles. We can completely build a castle with a good view around this place. Moreover, this place is very close to the water source. We will build the city wall near the water source so that there will be no
We are worried that others can easily cut off our water source, and we can also build a road to connect to the other side of the river and find ways to collect resources from the mountains."
Most of these villagers who lived in the war era hope to have a stable living environment. Their shallow knowledge also prevents them from having too much ambition. It is not easy to live well. Now, a strong person can
Chengruo gave them a peaceful and stable living environment, and a strong person could ensure that he would do his best to protect their safety. For a moment, the crowd fell into a strange silence.
Allen did not care too much about the feelings of Artiman, Kress and Alleyn, but drove his horse to the front of the more than 400 people. Looking at the obviously chaotic crowd, he waved his right hand and shouted loudly: "
Villagers and soldiers, don’t panic, don’t panic, look at me, look at me.”
After a large white light flashed, more than a hundred soldiers, more than 300 villagers, and more than 40 forced prisoners appeared on the hillside. A large number of supplies and construction tools appeared behind the crowd. At this time, Allen
Turning back to Yatiman, he said: "I think that from now on, you can start building according to the drawings you have designed in your mind, Yatiman."
"Don't say that," Allen quickly interrupted Yatiman. He didn't want bears, Maia, forest elves, etc. to come to his door.
Allen, who was watching this scene, thought helplessly in his heart, James also said that his temper was getting more and more violent, how come I couldn't see any sign that these two people were afraid of me.
"Two, two, let's chat on the way, we're in a hurry."
Allen, who got on his horse, interrupted the two girls' chat angrily and urged them to rush towards the camp.
Let me tell you about the situation. My website is short and I have signed a contract online. Now I have to wait for the review. Thank you for supporting me, whether it is my friends at station B or friends I just met at Qidian. Anyway, thank you.
, let me talk about the frequency of my updates. I code about 5K to 6K a day. There may be a certain chapter that is less and a certain chapter that is more, but the number of words in a month is roughly the same. That’s it. Thank you all. PS:
To add, the plot is that of the movie. I like the characters in the movie even more. Because of this, I came up with the idea of writing this book. But the general background and geography must be from the original work. For example, when Carl Yan saw the lonely man
Mountain, I am more inclined to think that it was Gandalf's magic used to inspire them, rather than that they actually saw the lonely mountain, because that is simply unrealistic.
