Bringing the MC system to Middle-earth
Chapter 172 Enemies on All Sides
"So what do you do now, Legend of the West."
Alatar stood on the side of the throne and said condescendingly: "Knock me down for your 'justice'?"
"If you want to try it, come on over."
"But I want to remind you that even if you knock me down and wake up the king of Khand, it will only make things worse."
"Right now we only have two enemies, Mordor and Dongyi. When you finish what you did, there will be three of us, and no one can run away by then."
The king sat slumped on the throne, showing no reaction to these remarks.
Li Wei held the sword in his hand, and it was hard to tell what his mood was.
"You are really taught by a teacher."
Among the five wizards who came to Middle-earth, only Alatar and Saruman came on their own initiative. The other three were either invited or forcibly sent here.
"Do you think you can succeed by doing this?"
"No, I never expected this small group caught in the middle to achieve anything."
Alatar said expressionlessly: "But Khand also has its role. It can help us consume the strength of the enemy - together with the Dongyi rebels who have surrendered to them."
"It's worthless." Levi shook his head.
"No beliefs, no ideals, no goals, just people who are controlled and deceived by you... There is no point in doing this."
"How can you say it's meaningless?"
Alatar said seriously: "You don't know how difficult this land is. The people are ignorant and don't know how to adapt. They chant the name of the Demon Eye all day long. It's like this everywhere."
"How many people have torn apart their families just to be able to worship the Demon Eye."
"Don't you see that after I come, the residents here no longer have to endure the oppression of the enemy, nor do they have to transport their wealth and resources to Mordor in batches."
"The enemy will suck their blood and flesh dry, but I - I don't want anything. Who is nobler and who is despicable? Isn't this something you can see as long as you open your eyes?"
"The belief in the magic eye is deeply ingrained. If the method is not strong enough, how can we fight against him?"
Levi took a deep look at the blue-robed wizard.
"You were too deeply affected by that power."
"Drink some milk and wake up."
"I'll never touch that thing again in my life."
Alatar decisively refused.
"Then I'll have to force you to drink some."
"You can try."
The atmosphere in the hall gradually became tense.
Falodan clenched the ancient tomb sword in his hand. He took a step forward, but was pushed back by Li Wei.
"Leave this place to me. You go and guard the door. If anyone asks, tell them there is a banquet inside."
"Having a party?"
Farodan glanced at Alatar, who had a rather gloomy expression, and then looked at Levi, who had a dull expression.
"Okay, then I'll be a security guard for a while."
He shrugged and went out.
"Stupid, I thought you would be a sensible person."
Alatar held the staff and slowly walked down the steps.
“When a person is overconfident, he will feel that everyone except himself is stupid.”
Levi answered, drawing out his sword.
Boom!
Without warning, a bolt of thunder struck out of thin air from Alatar's hand, and instantly spanned half the hall and landed at Levi's feet, exploding a big hole in the floor.
"I don't want to be your enemy. This is your final warning."
Alatar stared at Levi.
But Levi just crossed the big pit and said calmly: "Before coming here, I have met three wizards. They all use some spells, but you are the first to turn their spells on me."
“You don’t want to know what it’s like.”
"No, actually, I quite want to try it."
As he spoke, Levi took a step forward.
Alatar's expression became even more gloomy.
"Mortal people always try to challenge the existence that they don't understand."
The wizard knocked his cane on the ground, and his sea-blue robe moved automatically without any wind. His figure gradually grew taller, as if he had turned into a giant. He suddenly regained consciousness. Only then did Levi realize that it was just caused by the huge pressure on his soul. hallucination.
Whether wizards or elves, the most essential difference between them and mortals is their souls.
Those with strong souls can use their will to influence the outside world and activate various magical powers.
The world usually calls it - magic.
Unlike those magics cloaked in technology, their magic truly moves at will, using consciousness to interfere with reality.
For wizards or some powerful elves, magic is just a natural creation that comes from the heart. Whatever effect you want to achieve, you can achieve whatever effect you want.
Flames rose from the hall, and they gathered around Lanpao, surrounding him and becoming a giant surrounded by flames.
"Are you imitating Balrog?"
Levi drank a bottle of fire retardant potion.
However, the expected flame eruption like a fire demon did not come. The next moment, lightning was generated around the huge flame shadow. The two were entangled and surrounded, and crashed towards him with a roar.
Li Wei's pupils shrank and he immediately cut out the wooden shield.
Boom!
The wooden shield was broken open and fell into cooling. The rune ring, necklace, and belt all flashed with golden light, blocking the huge impact. The thunder and fire seemed to collide with an indestructible shield, and seemed to be cut open by a black sharp blade. , spreading to both sides behind him.
With one blow, except for a small area under Levi's feet and behind him, all parts of the hall were covered with flames.
The rune shield is broken and the emergency shield is activated.
"Unexpected."
Li Wei looked up and saw that the figure in blue robe was still thin. The so-called 'giant' he just saw was just an illusion caused by the oppression of his soul.
"It's really unexpected."
The long sword slashed at Alatar without mercy.
clang!
A crisp collision sounded.
Alatar raised his staff high, and a solid white barrier immediately surrounded him, blocking the nemesis away.
Levi swung his sword again, and Alatar no longer defended himself. His cane burst out with dazzling light, becoming like lightning. He just swung his cane and collided head-on with Levi's long sword. The force is so strong that it feels like you are facing a heavy hammer.
If it were an ordinary human or Oak, he would probably be knocked out at this moment.
However, Levi stood there like a nail, not moving even half a step. He locked onto the wizard in front of him and slashed at him one after another, each time with greater force and higher damage than before.
When the damage is stacked several times——
boom!
Alatar finally realized something was wrong. He pulled out a sword from his waist. Hot flames wrapped around it, and the sword suddenly became hot and red.
With a lightning staff in one hand and a flaming sword in the other, coupled with the fighting skills honed over thousands of years, Levi was directly suppressed by this skill and couldn't stop retreating.
Swish——
Levi dodged and jumped back, waving a white sword energy to force Alatar back.
"If you only have this ability, then I'm afraid you will never be able to defeat me."
Alatar took a step forward.
"It's more than that."
Li Wei took out the Maolong staff, which contained the core of the 'Nine Hells'.
Now they both have a staff in one hand and a sword in the other.
With a wave of the long staff in Li Wei's hand, a small red bat appeared out of thin air. Hundreds of Nine Hell Bats gathered together and rushed towards Alatar.
"So evil!"
Looking at these ferocious-looking fiery red bats, even Alatar, who had been deeply corrupted, couldn't help but say this.
bump!
A bat was roasted by the hot flames and exploded on the spot, shocking Alatar to take a step back.
But this is just the beginning.
The Nine Hell Flame Bats showed their unstable nature after scratching the barrier created by Alatar a few times. They exploded on the spot. For a moment, it was like setting off firecrackers, except that the firecrackers were tied with ropes. The ones are all large with two kicks.
After the elements in one staff were cleared, Levi cut out the second staff...
A moment later, hundreds of bats were raging in the sky. Alatar had to devote part of his energy to dealing with these hateful little things. Gradually, he became more and more irritable.
But at this time, the Western legend who summoned the evil bat came over again and slashed down hard with his sword.
Boom!
Alatar's whole body was hit and he took several steps back.
What a great power, stronger than before!
I drank a bottle of Level 2 strength potion.
"If you only have this ability, I'm afraid you will never be able to defeat me."
Levi returned the sentence intact.
Alatar was sweating profusely, while dealing with the suicide attacks of hundreds of Nine Hell Bats, and at the same time dealing with Levi, who was getting stronger and stronger.
Finally, when Levi's combo reached its highest point and even planned to do a jumping chop, Alatar took a sharp breath and shouted: "That's enough!!!"
boom--
The staff slammed into the ground, and a huge circle of light erupted from it. The huge impact directly wiped out all the bats at once. Levi was also blown backwards and almost fell out of the door.
"What's the noise?"
The two guards outside the door turned around quickly.
"There's a party going on inside."
Falodan stopped the two of them.
The guard picked up the weapon with a grim look on his face, and Farodan put his hand on the sword.
So a new battle takes place.
——
A strong white light flashed through the hall, and everything turned pale for a moment.
When the light disappeared, Levi quickly gnawed on a golden apple to make up for the lost blood.
Looking again, Alatar was panting heavily. The cane in front of him was still standing on the ground, but the flames surrounding the sword disappeared. Seeing Levi approaching again and even waving the elf sword in his hand, he quickly picked up his cane.
Snap!
The moment the sword and staff met, the staff shattered from the middle and turned into a pile of sawdust.
The sword passed over the cane and actually struck its enemy for the first time in this battle.
Wait, this feels...
Levi was slightly confused.
He looked forward and found that the wizard's health bar had not moved at all.
Isn't this right? I definitely hit it just now, right?
thump.
Alatar fell straight to the ground, but no flames burned on his body.
At this moment, his eyes suddenly became much clearer, no longer as dark and cold as before.
Something disappeared under that sword.
"You win," he said.
His tone was unprecedentedly relaxed, as if he was relieved from something.
Levi put away his sword in silence.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but the speed of falling doesn't seem very natural.
This battle is quite dangerous.
Wizards - or Maia, even if they are trapped in a mortal body and have their divine power locked up, their abilities are so powerful.
If it were an unrestricted, full-scale battle... maybe he would be killed instantly in a single encounter.
"Well…"
At the moment when the cane was completely reduced to pieces, King Khand on the throne let out a groan.
The paleness on his face gradually faded, and the king slowly stood up, struggled to open his eyes and looked around, looking at the hall full of flames.
The wizard fell to the ground. A strong-looking black-armored warrior was standing silently in the hall. His personal guards outside the door were knocked down. Next to them was a tall foreigner.
The king took a deep breath, straightened his body gradually, and his face became rosy.
He said slowly:
"My memory is blurry, as if I had a long dream in which there were many shadows walking in front of me..."
"Wise wizard, tell me, what happened?"
Alatar responded: "As you can see, king of Khand, I am struck down."
"Yeah."
The king picked up the sword in front of his throne and walked down the steps.
"A foreigner and a foreigner, you broke into my hall, knocked down my personal guards, and knocked down the wise wizard who assisted me to the ground..."
That seems to be the case.
But many vague and illusory memories in his mind reminded the king that something seemed wrong.
However, no matter where something is wrong, there is only one clear thing to do now:
kill!
"Alatar, I have something to ask you later."
He crossed over the blue robe lying on the ground and pointed his sword at Levi:
"But now! I want these two aliens to know the price of breaking in here!"
Levi's eyes were a little helpless: "I said I was here to help you regain your consciousness. Do you believe it?"
"You mentioned sobriety..."
The king stopped and suddenly laughed.
"Yes, I'm awake. I'm more awake now than I've ever been before. The dark voice hovering in my head has finally disappeared. It's like a malignant sore attached to my bones, which has always made me miserable..."
“And when it all cleared up, I finally thought about the answer to that question—I knew what it was that our country was missing!”
"Oh? What is it?" Levi asked with interest.
"That's a true king!"
He shouted: "In the past, those who sat on the throne were always incompetent and cowardly. The people followed such a cowardly king and believed in a hypocritical so-called 'Dark Lord' and allowed him to drive. This has led to the weakness of our country. ”
"I have understood that only the emergence of a truly powerful king can lead the people to resist this undignified slavery."
"Now, I will first verify my power with you foreigners who break into the hall without permission, and then restore our past glory!"
"Be honored, you are about to become the first stepping stone on the road to the great Khand's revival!"
Boom!
Li Wei kicked the Khand king to the ground and carried him to the side to lie down.
"You still don't seem to be awake."
"He's been corrupted for too long."
Alatar got up and kindly carried the king back to his throne so that he could at least sleep in it.
"Give him some time to calm down, maybe we can still talk."
"What about you?" Levi asked.
"Not very good, can you give me a glass of milk?"
Gudong, gudong.
After a moment, Alatar handed the cup back.
"Thank you. At least my mind will be clearer for a short time."
"I still have a lot of milk here. How many more glasses can I have?"
"I have already said that it can temporarily drive away the haze in my heart, but it cannot solve the root cause."
Alatar shook his head.
"Then keep drinking."
"Ahem..."
Alatar coughed.
"No, no, don't worry, I can handle it."
"I still want to thank you. Your sword didn't hit me just now. Someone else was hit."
"Do you want to talk for a while longer?"
A voice came from outside the door.
Farodan stood at the door, looking at the flames filling the hall, and said helplessly: "My suggestion is to put out the fire first, otherwise the hall will burn down in a short time."
Wow——
A few buckets of water were put down and the flames were extinguished.
"Much better."
Farodan was finally able to walk in.
The three of them gathered in the hall.
"So what are you going to do now?"
Alatar asked Li Wei: "The armies of Mordor and Dongyi are already on the way. Their pace will not be much slower than ours, maybe in a few days."
"And now..."
He looked at King Khand who was still sleeping.
"We might even lose our only ally."
"It doesn't matter."
Levi comforted: "It's not because of me."
"Are you going to help Khand fight that army, help a possible enemy in the future?" Farodan asked.
Even though he had been staying away from this matter, he could still understand the situation at this moment.
The king of Khand was only temporarily freed from the control of Sauron and Alatar. He was sober again, but this did not mean that he was on his side.
After the wizards and Livy left, the area would probably still be dominated by Sauron, who would march westward with the Oriental or Haradhish people.
This is the general trend, which cannot be changed by one or two people-unless they stay here forever.
"I need to remind you."
Alatar said: "The people here still believe in the enemy, and it is belief, not control."
"I originally planned to eliminate this blind belief through violent methods, but now it seems that even if my methods are more violent, the rumors and beliefs that have lasted for thousands of years cannot be eliminated in a short period of time."
"Don't think that everyone here is a friend just because we came smoothly."
"Their cold eyes are just because of the king's order. Once he wakes up and cancels this order, the street vendors and passers-by will immediately take out their daggers and machetes and swing them at us fiercely."
"Especially you, Farodan, you don't want to know what the attitude of the Eastern humans is towards the Dunedan."
"Don't expose it, otherwise even the king's order can't protect you."
"I know." Farodan responded lightly.
The two looked at Levi, asking for the final opinion.
The survival of a country and the recent development trend of the entire East may be finalized in one or two sentences.
Alatar finally reminded:
"We may face a large number of enemies from all directions, and even the city we are in now is an enemy city."
"There is no retreat and no way out."
He sighed and instinctively wanted to pick up the staff, but when he stretched out his hand, he only picked up a pile of debris.
"Oh..."
As a wizard, it is really uncomfortable to not have a staff in hand.
Forget it, the bow and sword are also very useful.
"No."
The voice of denial sounded.
Levi shook his head and said calmly: "There is no real dead end in this world, only people who can't find the way."
"If there is no way, then dig it."
"If everyone here is an enemy-"
"Then I will face everyone."
