Bringing the MC system to Middle-earth
Chapter 206: Deterrence and loyalty
The sun gradually rose, and the second half of the day finally passed.
Kane couldn't help but jump up to a high ground and look back to the south, where Harald's army was.
"That is?"
He squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, only to see that the army had stopped advancing at this moment. There was an open space in the center of the army formation, and there were two figures inside.
One of them looked familiar, quite familiar, it was the despicable Harald army commander who attacked him a few days ago.
As for the other person…
"It was Livi. He beat the commander of Harald's army to his knees - probably to take him as a prisoner so that he could force them to retreat."
The idea popped into Kane's mind.
As expected of him, he captured the enemy leader easily, he was so powerful.
Just as Kane expected, after a while, Harald's army collapsed layer by layer with Levi as the center, and retreated frantically, no longer even maintaining their formation.
…
Rumble…
Mammoth changed direction and moved quickly towards the southern river bank, and the army retreated to the mainland.
"I'll do anything, don't, don't kill me."
The commander knelt on the ground with his head lowered, not daring to look directly at the person in front of him.
"I swear, I swear I will never be your enemy for the rest of my life, including your people and everyone close to you!"
"Oh, so aware?"
Levi raised his chin with his sword out of curiosity, and put the tip of the sword in front of his neck, forcing him to raise his head.
The commander took a breath and had to look at Levi.
But that face didn't seem as terrifying as he imagined.
The dazzling sunlight shone on that face, shining directly into his pupils, but he couldn't even blink.
That eyeball just calmly reflects the things in the outside world, including himself kneeling on the ground.
"You should understand that things like 'oath' are very important."
"There was once an army that broke its oath to Gondor. After death, it could only turn into a dead soul and be imprisoned in a temple that never saw the light of day. It has not been able to rest in peace until now."
"How can I ensure that you don't turn around and forget what you said?"
"grown ups!"
At this time, the commander no longer showed any fear, and he said seriously:
"You deserve this, and I know the cost of wavering."
Li Wei did not give an answer for a while, but just asked:
"I heard that you are tracking down a blue-robed wizard?"
"Yes, he kidnapped our court mage, who was also a wizard, and they had some disputes."
"Call off the hunt for him and don't set foot on this land again."
"Sir, I am just a commander of a small army on both sides of the river. There are some things that I cannot decide."
The commander looked troubled.
"Um?"
"But I guarantee that at least within the scope of my jurisdiction, your will will be realized." He immediately added.
Levi couldn't help but smile.
"It's interesting."
"Do you have any prisoners from Gondor?"
"No, sir, our only prisoner has betrayed Gondor. This action was caused by him, but don't worry, he is dead."
He should be dead, right?
The commander is not sure, but that's all he can say.
Dead?
Levi didn't speak for a while.
If this is the case, this guy deserves to die.
"I have another question."
He didn't pursue the matter too much, and just continued to ask: "I heard that you withdrew all the troops targeting Gondor in the past two years. What was the reason?"
This sentence was asked on behalf of Kane, which is also one of the main investigation targets of the commando team.
Upon hearing this, the commander was speechless for a while.
"It's because of you, my lord, that the Dark Lord has gathered most of our troops and marched towards Khand. The front line cannot be maintained and we can only retreat temporarily."
“…”
"OK."
Levi put away his sword and waved his hand.
There is nothing more to ask now.
"Go ahead and remember what you said."
"I hope you are a wise man."
"yes."
The commander quickly stood up and ran back after his army.
"My lord, my name is Bashir."
After running for two steps, he suddenly turned back and cautiously mentioned this.
"It doesn't matter."
You don't care, I don't care
Bashir's face tightened, but he only dared to complain in his heart.
I hope this gentleman can remember his name, so that he will not be killed by my enemy one day regardless of me...
After a while, he finally caught up with his own army.
"Commander, you are back!"
"Well, I'm back."
As soon as he arrived at his base camp, Bashir immediately returned to his former indifference and violence.
It's just that people here are not all fools. There are many suspicious things about Bashir's return, such as - he was not killed by the legend?
Although it was disrespectful to his leader to think like this, how could he survive from that man?
"You were able to escape from his eyes." The deputy came over and mentioned the matter on his own initiative.
"I exchanged my treasures and the lives of his companions for my return. Is there anything you want to say?"
Bashir's tone seemed a little cold.
"No, I just want to say that it's all worth it!"
"All the treasures and prisoners are nothing compared to your life. Even our king will think it is worth it."
The deputy quickly lowered his head.
Bashir narrowed his eyes.
This deputy is indeed a good deputy, who is conscientious and can basically complete any order well.
But...
He is too curious.
What a pity.
Bashir shook his head and got on the horse led by his deputy and walked forward.
What a pity... We are no longer our own people.
The army of the Harad people withdrew to the south bank of the river, and the Harondor region may usher in a period of peace.
Levi stood there and looked around. After finding that there was indeed no remnant, he turned back.
"How is it?"
As soon as he caught up with the main force, Cain came over to greet him.
"They withdrew their troops and probably won't come again for a long time. In addition, I also asked for the intelligence you want to find out for you."
"They withdrew their troops because of some changes in the east. Sauron called on them to gather their troops and march eastward. The troops on the border of Gondor retreated because they could not maintain it."
"I understand." Cain nodded.
"But I'm a little curious, who is the enemy that the Dark Lord wants them to fight?"
"It actually takes tens of thousands of troops to gather. Their enemy is probably not weaker than Gondor."
Since there is a common enemy, maybe we can win them over.
"It's me."
Yes.
Unexpectedly - even unexpectedly to Cain himself, he was not surprised at all by this matter.
Thousands of words turned into four words: get used to it.
"Okay, do you mind if I bring this news back to Gondor?"
"It's not inconvenient, and it's not something shameful."
"Understood."
"One more thing..."
Cain hesitated and said, "Have you seen Trit?"
"No."
"He was killed by the leader of Harald's army."
Cain stopped moving and said nothing.
He returned to the team and selected four people, plus himself to form a standard five-man ranger team, and appointed a temporary captain, instructing him to lead the others to continue to garrison here, and he returned to Gondor with Levi and the newly selected team members.
