Chapter 194 Training, scouts strike 【Subscription】

Early the next morning.

The sky is a little gloomy.

The cold wind howled continuously.

When Morgan woke up and opened his eyes, the hobbit Sam was already busy in front of the campfire.

"Good morning, Mr. Morgan."

"morning"

Morgan looked at Sam and smiled and nodded.

Whether it's the Sam I saw in the memory plot, or this one in reality.

Sam is just like his character, honest, hardworking, calm and trustworthy.

Compared with Pippin and Merry, Morgan has a better impression of the hardworking Sam.

Gimli the dwarf sat curled up in front of the campfire, motionless.

Not far away, Gandalf and Aragorn had gotten up and sat smoking.

Legolas stood on a boulder and looked around.

Boromir was still asleep.

Frodo and Meripippin, the three young hobbits, were also not awake.

Morgan got up and went outside to wash up to finish.

When they came back, Boromir had woken up, and Gandalf and Aragorn were sitting by the campfire.

Morgan sat down next to Gandalf and said, "The weather is a bit bad."

"Is it almost winter?"

"It hasn't arrived yet, it's still more than half a month away."

Before Gandalf could speak, Aragorn picked up dry wood and threw it into the bonfire, looked up at the sky and continued, "However, with this weather, maybe the first snow of this year will fall today."

"If it snows, the road ahead will not be so easy."

At this time, a voice came.

Legolas jumped off the boulder, walked a few steps to the campfire and sat down.

"It was not easy to go."

At this time, Boromir also sat by the bonfire and asked, "Which way shall we go to Modo this time?"

"Take the Pass of Rohan, and go east to Mordor."

Gandalf exhaled the last smoke, and said, tapping on the stem.

"That's just right. We can go all the way south to Gondor when we reach the pass of Rohan. My father will definitely welcome and entertain us."

Boromir said with a smile.

Gandalf didn't speak, and the tobacco rod that was going to be put down was filled with shredded tobacco again, and it was lit and smoked.

Aragorn answered immediately: "Is the Rohan Pass too close to Isinger?"

"Saruman has betrayed, and it is not safe for us to go there."

Seeing that Gandalf was silent, Aragorn immediately looked at Boromir and shook his head.

"But the Pass of Rohan is the quickest way."

Boromir continued.

Aragorn said nothing more, and Gandalf was smoking his pipe again.

Both Morgan and Legolas had been silent.

The scene was a little dull for a while.

"Everyone, you can have breakfast."

At this time, Sam's voice came over.

Everyone stepped forward immediately, took the bowl handed by Sam, and started today's breakfast.

"Wow, is breakfast ready?"

"I woke up just in time."

At this time, Pippin's cheerful voice came from the side.

When they turned their heads, they saw the hobbits Merry and Pippin had just woken up.

Gandalf looked at Pippin with an unhappy expression and said, "From now on, you and Sam will take turns preparing breakfast and dinner."

When Gandalf said this, Pippin's joyful face immediately collapsed, and he said in a low voice, "Oh, I see."

It seems to be because of the talk just before the meal.

No one spoke during the meal.

Long Trip.

Everyone's breakfast is not slow.

It didn't take long.

The fellowship of the Fellowship of the Ring set out on the road again.

It just seems to verify what Aragorn said before.

Not long after everyone set off.

Snowflakes began to float in the dark sky.

This winter.

earlier than in previous years.

The expedition team continued to advance against the wind and snow.

During the dull and boring journey.

A month passed quietly.

Sunny weather.

There are white clouds floating in the blue sky.

A warm light cluster hangs high.

In a wild rocky area.

A team of ten people, tall and short, is marching.

"It's time to prepare lunch."

"Just rest here"

“It's a nice place, it's here”

After the words fell, the ten-member team quickly rested on the spot.

Smoking is smoking, ventilating is ventilating, cooking is cooking.

The ten-member team has a clear division of labor, each performing its duties.

The visitors were naturally the Fellowship of the Ring expedition team led by Morgan and Gandalf who came out of Rivendell a month ago.

Over the past month, the expedition has been heading south along the Misty Mountains.

Halfway through mountains and deep valleys, across forests, wilderness, hills, mountains, rivers
Although the journey was difficult, there were no other dangers, and the journey went smoothly.

"Pippin, it's your turn today."

Sam took off the package of ingredients hanging on the horse's back, looked at Pippin not far away and shouted.

"coming."

Pippin, who heard the sound, ran over at once.

Meili followed, and the two began to prepare for today's lunch.

Since Gandalf had determined the division of labor among the hobbits a month ago, Sam, Frodo, and Merry and Pippin were basically in charge of the expedition's meals these days.

Hobbits love food, so the few hobbits in the team are pretty good at cooking.

Legolas was standing on a boulder all around him, looking out.

Since the expedition set off, Legolas has consciously undertaken this task because of his exceptionally sharp eyes.

Everyone dare not forget that the Ring Spirits chased and killed Morgan and Frodo more than a month ago.

Although these days, no danger has been found.

But everyone will not let down their vigilance.

Gandalf and Gimli the dwarf were talking about something.

Boromir was polishing his sword and shield.

Aragorn sat on a boulder and smoked.

Before him Sam and Frodo were gesturing with their short swords.

Morgan sat aside, pointing to the two hobbits.

"Be flexible on your feet"

"Sam's sword can be followed by another sword."

"Frodo, are you in a daze? Thinking about life?"

"How did I teach you before?"

"Sam hurry up, you're stupid as a donkey."

"How dare you laugh, Frodo?"

"You are worse than Sam"

"Move faster"

"Ha ha."

Smoking a pipe, Aragorn couldn't help laughing as he watched Morgan train the two hobbits.

"What's so funny?"

At this time, a voice came from behind, and Aragorn turned his head, and saw Gandalf climbing up the boulder with a pipe in his mouth.

"Just look at it"

Aragorn nuzzled and said towards the three people who were training in the open space not far away.

"Ha ha."

Gandalf sat next to Aragorn, and smiled at Morgan, who was not very good-looking.

Along the way, Boromir would train Pippin and Merry from time to time.

And Morgan likes to train Sam and Frodo.

Different from Boromir's peaceful training method.

Morgan trained Frodo and Sam much more severely, and the two little hobbits behaved badly.

Morgan is not polite, and his mouth is not forgiving.

That's why the rest of the team enjoyed watching Morgan train Frodo and Sam.

They will often be made to laugh.

"Move faster"

"Foot, foot, Sam your feet are flexible, are you nailed there?"

"What are you dancing, Frodo?"

"Is something on the ground pricking your foot?"

"Is it making you jump blindly to move your feet?"

"."

Looking at the gestures of the two in front of him, Morgan was speechless, his mouth was almost bald.

Because of the memory of the plot, he, who is unpredictable, plans to use this journey as an opportunity to train the two of them.

So that these two can live better in the future.

Frodo and Sam obviously know this.

Even Frodo, who was relatively lazy, became more focused and serious under Morgan's request.

The strength of the two of them now is much stronger than when they set off more than a month ago.

Although in the eyes of Morgan and several other Guardians of the expedition team, they are still two weak chickens.

"Okay, now you two join forces to attack me."

Morgan stood up while speaking, and pulled out the elf sword from his waist.

Watching Morgan get up and play himself.

Aragorn and Gandalf looked at it with a smile on their faces.

"Frodo"

At the same time, watching Morgan stand up, Sam immediately turned his head and glanced at Frodo beside him, and cried in a low voice.

Just last night.

When Boromir was training Merry and Pippin, he didn't pay attention for a while, and was knocked down to the ground by the two hobbits.

Sam and Frodo had whispered to each other in their sleep last night.

The two of them also have to surprise their temporary teacher Morgan.

"Ok, I know."

"Just follow yesterday's plan."

Frodo did not turn his head, but approached Sam and whispered quickly.

Watching Morgan striding forward.

Frodo and Sam had fighting looks on their faces as usual.

"Looks like it's ready."

Looking at the two hobbits in front of him, Morgan grinned, showing his white teeth.

Every time these two train to the final actual combat, it is time for Morgan to vent his depression and unhappiness in the previous training.

This time is no exception.

Even if the two little hobbits were prepared for the day.

"Then come on and attack me."

Morgan grinned and said, Frodo and Sam glanced at each other, and immediately rushed up brandishing the short sword in their hands.

In Frodo's hand was the Elven short sword that Bilbo had given him.

And Sam is holding the dagger weapon he got from Rivendell.

"Bang bang bang bang."

The two hobbits quickly rushed to them, slashing and stabbing Morgan with their daggers vigorously, and there was a sudden sound of ping-pong-pong metal impact.

Facing the siege of two hobbits.

Morgan held the sword with one hand and easily blocked the two incoming daggers.

No matter what direction Frodo and Sam came from.

Morgan seemed to be able to predict the attack methods of the two in advance, and easily blocked the attacks of the two.

Moreover, Morgan just resisted and did not attack, allowing the two to attack at will.

"bang bang bang"

There was a crashing sound after another

The three fought fiercely.

On the boulder beside Aragorn and Gandalf, Boromir and Gimli, one tall and one short, appeared.

In an open space not far away.

At this time, when Frodo's elf dagger was slashing at Morgan, he suddenly showed no strength, and the long sword that Morgan resisted slipped onto his arm, and he screamed immediately.

Morgan's complexion changed slightly, the long sword in his hand stopped, and he was about to greet Frodo.

On the side, Sam seemed to have received a signal, and immediately dropped the short sword in his hand and hugged Morgan's leg, about to throw it back.

Morgan looked at Sam immediately.

Frodo, who had a painful expression just now, immediately jumped up and hugged Morgan's other foot with a happy face.

In just a moment, Morgan realized what the two little hobbits were planning.

He grinned, and then exerted himself with his lower limbs.

"ho"

Sam and Frodo cheered and shouted.

But Morgan's two legs seemed to be nailed to the ground like nails, motionless.

"ho"

The two of them shouted again and tried their best in unison, their faces flushed red.

But Morgan's two legs remained motionless as if planted on the ground.

"Hey, I'm not Boromir."

Morgan raised the corner of his mouth, and immediately shook his feet vigorously. Frodo and Sam were thrown out one after another, and fell to the ground and ate a mouthful of mud.

"Ha ha."

"Ha ha."

Seeing the two hobbits getting up in a panic, Gimli and Gandalf, who were watching from the sidelines, immediately laughed out loud.

Aragorn also couldn't stop laughing.

Boromir's expression was a little weak.

He was just accidentally knocked down by Merry and Pippin yesterday.

I was laughed at by everyone yesterday, and I will be laughed at by Morgan today.

It really made him a little upset.

He made up his mind to practice the boys Merry and Pippin tomorrow.

"Everyone, lunch is ready, it's time to eat"

At this time, the voice of Merry the Hobbit sounded not far away.

Everyone smiled and walked towards Meri.

"Wait, is there something flying over there?"

Suddenly, Legolas' voice came.

Everyone turned their heads and saw Legolas standing on the boulder not far away, pointing to the sky ahead.

Jinli looked at the black shadow that was constantly moving in front of him and said casually, "Isn't that just a moving black cloud?"

"Black clouds don't move that fast."

Aragorn frowned.

Morgan's complexion changed slightly.

"No, that's the crow of Dunland (Hei Man Land)!"

The nearest Legolas finally saw clearly what was flying in front of him, said loudly, turned around and jumped off the boulder.

"Hurry up, hurry up and hide!"

Hearing Legolas' words, everyone's expressions changed, and Aragorn immediately shouted.

During this trip, everyone had heard Gandalf say that the Dunlanders, that is, the Black Barbarians, had already been taken under Saruman's command.

At this time, it is not a good thing to see those crows who are regarded as scouts' eyeliners.

"quick!"

The group of people was very fast, and each of them got into the gap under the boulder or hid in the lush thorn bushes around them.

Even two horses were led behind a boulder.

Merry and Pippin immediately extinguished the bonfire, picked up the cooking pot and hid together, and immediately found a place to hide.

"quack quack"

The harsh and unpleasant calls kept approaching.

Not long after, a group of black crows flew over the chaotic rocks with strange screams.

"quack."

"quack."

The black cloud formed by a large number of scout crows came and went quickly.

Quickly flew over this rocky area, and flew forward.

When the crows in the sky fly away quickly.

All the members of the expedition team came out one after another.

"Those are the eyes of Saruman."

Looking at the crows in the distance, Gandalf said in a deep voice: "It seems that the road to the south is under surveillance."

"What should we do now?"

Gimli walked up to Gandalf and asked.

The other members also came over immediately.

"The Rohan pass in the south is definitely not allowed to go."

"We have to change the way"

Gandalf said and looked at everyone.

"Another way?"

"Are you planning to go to Moria?"

Jin Li was startled, and immediately asked.

As far as he knows the route, except for Rohan Pass, Moria is the closest choice.

But it was already occupied by half-orcs.

"No, we'll go that way."

Gandalf shook his head and said, stretching his fingers to the back and said in a deep voice: "Crossing Mount Calanras."

Everyone looked in the direction of Gandalf's finger, and saw a towering snow-capped mountain standing in the distance.

"With the first batch of scouts, there must be a second batch"

"I can't stay here any longer."

"Leave immediately."

"Did those crows find us just now?"

"I don't know, I hope not."

"But we changed the road, even if we found it, we should be fine."

As Gandalf's voice fell, everyone in the expedition team immediately packed up their things and prepared to turn around and head to the snow mountain.

When everyone was busy leading the horses and was about to leave.

Merry and Pippin were looking at the crowd with their heavy cooking pots in their hands and shouted, "Then do you still want this lunch?"
