After crossing the wolf pack, the road ahead will not be blocked for the time being. But Zhao Mai did not dare to take it lightly, because Saruman would not give up, and Solon would not. There might be more evil waiting for them in front of him.


    So it''s a relief to see grofendale and his 100 Elven warriors. It can be seen that the elves have experienced many fierce battles. Their armor and weapons are stained with blood, and their brows are tired and sad. Even in the face of orcs, even in the fight against evil, they will be sad for the loss of life.


    "You haven''t had any trouble along the way, have you?" Griffindale looked up and down at the Knights of the two horses. "Two days ago, a group of wolves passed through our northeast. Our horses were almost lost, so we couldn''t catch up. We could only pray in our hearts that you would be safe."


    "The wolves didn''t cause us much trouble. Gandalf pushed them back with his light." Zhao Mai replied.


    Grofendale looked at Gandalf, and the smile raised from the corner of his mouth was more gratifying and praising. Although El Ladan is more than 2000 years old, he is still a young child in the eyes of the golden Lord. "Come on, come to the camp and have a rest. After all, you''ve traveled a long way."


    The camp of the elves is on a hill. There is a clear spring on the top of the hill. Although there is not much water, it tastes sweet and still slowly gushes in the cold wind in winter. The spring flew away from the cliff on one side of the mountain along the stone cracks, and turned into a light ice mist in the air. I don''t know who built a circle of stone pillars on the top of the mountain. I guess I want to build a pavilion or something here. Or there was a pavilion or even a guard stone tower in the past. But time goes by slowly, taking away the secret here, leaving only mottled pillars. Protected by the magic of grofendale, you can only see ruins or clouds from a distance. Even if there are crows in the sky, we can''t see the real situation.


    At the foot of the mountain, the spirit arranged several tents for rest. It''s not for themselves. Elves just need to meditate to rest. They don''t need to fall asleep like humans. Griffindale is a good general and naturally knows the importance of maintaining a good relationship with the surrounding villages. He showed the orcs he had destroyed to the villagers, so he got the help of human beings. Some villages and towns will bring them food and medicine, more importantly, wooden poles, feathers, glue and metal arrows. With the help of tools, elves can maintain battle cost. These tents are for the human villagers who can''t get back before dark after they arrive, so that they can also experience the feeling of resting under the protection of elves.


    The camp was in good order. Several people found a place to take shelter from the wind and sat down to have a rest. "When I received the news that tverdo, Gandalf and Frodo were coming, I immediately sent a messenger to Elrond, saying that it was a bad idea. But when I see you, I know what''s going on. Although this is a decoy mission, we should also fight it as a real weapon, without any slack. "


    Zhao Mai nodded: "you are right. What are we facing? "


    There are two enemy camps in the south of our country. One is the temporary assembly point for the strong orcs of Saruman. From the pass of Rohan in the southeast, groups of strong orcs gather in the camp, and let the strong orcs who are relatively familiar with the terrain lead them to look for us There''s no sign of you. There is a growing trend in this camp. Because it is close to the east of the misty mountains, so want to bypass it must be westward, will bump into another camp. A group of human mercenaries, possibly mountain bandits, horse bandits and robbers, were on the other side. Saruman used money to buy them, a group of mobs, but there are thousands of them, and they are also connected with the surrounding villages, which is really hard to deal with. It is said that farther south, the Eisen River blocks our way to Gondor, and near several ferries and bridges, it is said that there are signs of orcs


    "There will certainly be more in the future." Zhao Mai said, "what do you think we should do? Is it better to be trapped here or in other places?"


    "That''s quite an image." Griffindale laughed: "I suggest that we try to break through the two camps ahead and get to the river Essen, and then pretend to be blocked. Oshankta is just up the Essen River, which never freezes. We also provide Saruman with some convenience to transport troops, increase his confidence, and let him exhaust his own resources to invest in our direction. "


    "You elves are not afraid of death?"


    "Death will only bring us back to vilino early." Grofendale replied: "the elves of middle earth have been allowed to return to vilino and live happily with Vera. Some elves like to return peacefully, while others like to contribute to the justice of Middle Earth and then return bravely. So don''t worry about that. We elves are not afraid of death. "


    "You can''t be afraid of death, and you can''t die in vain." Zhao Mai said: "you have contact with the surrounding towns. I think you can find someone to contact the camp of the mercenary? You elves are going to leave Middle Earth. It''s meaningless to leave the treasure. It''s better to hire human beings to fight and level the orc camp together. "


    "Gold baby? We are not dwarves, and we are not interested in gold. The elves in the black forest like starlight diamonds. That''s just a special case. ""For human beings, you are rich and beautiful. Naturally, there should be a lot of gold and precious stones." Zhao Mai took a handful from the ground and rubbed it in his palm. Soon, a breath of chest tightness came out of the palm of his hand, and after spreading his hand, three golden beads were rolling.


    Later, Zhao Mai used his psychic powers to directly press out the spirit words on the golden ball: "always healthy", "full of vitality" and "Moonlight blessing". "Look, this is the treasure of your elves. It''s the best way to buy off human mercenaries. You can ask how much it costs to get out of our way, and then try to ask how much it costs to attack the orc camp. Remember, we don''t have much money with us. Don''t agree to any price. "


    "You know so much about human beings. How nice of you to talk about it?" Griffindale took the gold bead from Zhao Mai''s hand, looked at it under his eyes, and then scratched it with his fingernail: "you really look like gold. You have no problem with the handle, weight and luster."


    "That''s gold. It''s real. But I can give you this idea, but it''s not easy to come out. According to my character of tverdo, it must be to find a way to do it directly, rather than to use such a trick, right? You can''t let Saruman see the problem. "


    "Well, you''ll take the blame." Grofendale pointed to El Ladan: "who told you that when you walk around, you like to sell fireworks. You do a good business. You should be rich."


    Gandalf nodded, reached out and pinched his gray beard. "OK, that''s my idea. I''ll carry it out."
