Bringing the MC system to Middle-earth

"It's best for us to stay away from here for a while."

Go back in time a little bit.

When the four commando members and the squad leader came out of the stronghold together, the captain made this decision immediately.

"The Haradhs lost dozens of soldiers here. This matter will not be hidden for long. They will definitely send people here to search."

Although Harald is called a southern barbarian, the organization of their army is not that barbaric or rough. Let alone dozens of people, even if a person is missing, you have to see where he went.

This is the same for the Gondor Commandos, each one has an exact record.

"Unfortunately, I fell into coma before reaching the Haradrian stronghold on the other side of the river, and was unable to obtain any useful information."

"Not only did they capture me with despicable lies and traps, they also captured a new recruit."

On the way to the transfer, the ranger team leader confided: "I was deeply impressed by that soldier. He worked extra hard in training when he was still in Gondor, and he also took the initiative to come to the front line, saying that he wanted to wash away the humiliation of his family and prove himself."

"Family humiliation?"

Li Wei extracted a keyword that he was more interested in.

Seeing that Li Wei was very interested, the team leader also followed this sentence and explained: "His ancestors betrayed the people of Gondor and followed the pirate king of Umbar."

"But that was more than a thousand years ago. Those of his family who stayed in Gondor have proven themselves to be responsible people. Until his generation, they actively went to the front line and ambush pirates and Harbins with us. Ladd's barbarian."

This should have been a good story, but it's a pity...

"I shouldn't have been so strict with him that day."

"What issues did you have with him?"

The captain sighed deeply.

"yes."

He continued: "A month ago I punished him quite severely for leaving the team to pick wild fruits during the night break. The next day, he was caught in an ambush against Harald's team. captive."

"We haven't heard anything about him yet."

Speaking of this, the captain's tone became slightly slower.

"But this thing...it's strange to say that the ambush that day went very poorly. The Harad people were very vigilant. Of all our actions, only the first round of sneak attacks was effective, and we had to retreat to stop the losses. "

"There were many wounded in that operation, and they were all recuperating in a hidden camp relatively far back."

"That's where we're going too."

"Everything in the world is always unpredictable, so sorry."

Levi comforted the ranger captain:

"He wasn't injured when he was taken away, wasn't he? If his body is strong enough, his will is strong enough, and the Harad people need him, there is still a chance that he can survive until now."

"I hope so."

The captain replied:

"When I was still in Gondor, a wise old man in gray robes once said to me - although we cannot change what has happened, we can decide our own actions after it happens."

Grief cannot change anything. All people can do is make their own decisions immediately after the tragedy.

"Since I can come back alive, I still have a chance to make up for something."

"Very aware."

This topic ends temporarily with a comment from Levi.

A few people walked north along the road built by the Gondor people thousands of years ago when Harondor was still under the rule of Gondor. Then they broke away from the road when the road curved and straightened, and turned west.

Not long after, a small lake appeared in front of us. There were many more green plants and grasses nearby than in other areas, and it looked quite lively.

This small oasis was silent at the moment, with only the slightest sound of wind indicating that it was not a painting.

The wind blowing from outside the oasis brings with it its dryness and heat, and all these disappear as it passes through the leaves and green grass.

"What a nice place."

Levi walked around the lake and splashed the water twice, only to feel a hint of coldness coming from his fingertips.

"Where is your stronghold?"

Standing up and walking to the rangers, Levi put his hands on his hips and asked.

At this moment, the rangers were gathering next to a tree with a crooked neck, looking left and right, as if they were waiting for something.

When Levi came over, the Ranger Captain also took two steps towards him, but before he could speak, Levi suddenly stopped and at the same time focused his eyes on the grass beside him.

"Eh...?"

Where does this blood bar come from?

Levi stretched out his hand and pulled the "grass". Suddenly, the grass moved, and he turned around and looked at him with a pair of big innocent eyes.

"Hey!"

The sudden change shocked Levi and he quickly took several steps back. When he stepped on some "grass" behind him, he suddenly felt the soles of his feet were empty.

"ah--"

He disappeared from the ground.

Leaving behind a classic William scream.

hiss--

The ranger captain took a breath and quickly slipped down the rope with the other rangers.

Snap.

"It's really unexpected that the most serious injury I suffered so far in Harad was actually a fall injury, in this form..."

Levi got up, patted the non-existent dust on his body, and raised his head again.

Only then did he see several rangers and their captain sliding down an entrance.

"I'm sorry, I should have warned you earlier. How are you?"

"It's OK."

The blood volume was restored immediately.

Levi waved his hand, looked around and said, "This place is really hidden."

What caught his eye was a natural sandstone cave, which was circular and very spacious. It could probably accommodate hundreds of people if they squeezed together.

Looking up, there was a big hole above, and a little sunlight squeezed in through the gaps between the leaves, adding some natural light to the place.

But although the hole was big, it was not easy to be found.

The crooked tree above just covered the entrance of the cave, and Levi fell down on the leaves.

"I thought... forget it."

Levi shook his head and gave up making excuses for his mistake.

But at this moment, he finally experienced the concealment of the clothes worn by the rangers.

The rangers and nomads stood next to the tree in green and brown clothes, which just blended with the colors of the tree trunk and leaves.

If you don't look carefully, you really can't tell that it's a person.

There is a reason why the Harad people live in fear all day long.

In just two sentences, several rangers were startled by the sound of falling. They approached silently and did not let down their guard until they saw that it was one of their own.

"Captain?"

They seemed a little surprised.

"I came back alive. This friend saved me."

The ranger captain introduced: "Many of you should have heard of his name. He is the founder of the free cities, the nemesis of evil creatures, the legendary Levi."

Although the introduction was brief, it was enough for everyone to match the rumors that had only been heard in their minds with the person in front of them.

"Hello."

The rangers greeted one after another.

Levi nodded in response.

The members of the Ithilien Commando are outstanding humans. They are tall, fair-skinned, with dark hair and gray eyes, and their proud faces are filled with sadness. They hang swords at their sides and hold spears with broad and shiny spearheads or long bows that are almost as tall as a person. The archers' huge quivers were filled with long arrows with green feathers. They wore clothes of different shades of green and brown, as if to make it harder to be seen when walking in the glades of Ithilien. They wore green arm gloves, hoods covering their heads, and green masks, with the only thing exposed outside being bright and sharp eyes.
