Bringing the MC system to Middle-earth

Chapter 185 The Beorns and Honey

"You are not the only humans living in this area." Eagle King reminded.

Gandalf reacted immediately and patted his head.

"Look at my memory."

"Levi, do you remember that a few years ago we drove the Orcs away from the Anduin Valley and evacuated the residents here?"

"Of course I remember."

That was the starting point for the name of Nemesis to spread among the enemies. At that time, the Oaks had not noticed what they were facing, and they still dared to fight against it.

"Then you must also remember where all the humans here have gone."

"Some of them are wandering around, joining nearby kingdoms and settlements, and some of them follow my advice and go north to unite in the north of the Anduin Valley."

Gandalf stroked his beard and said, "I happened to pass by there recently. They did listen to my words and gathered in the north to form a tribe."

"The tribe recently got a name."

"What?"

"The Beorn family."

"Beorn... sounds familiar. Could it be the skin-changing Beorn I know?"

"That's right."

Gandalf explained: "In the beginning, those people gathered in the north, and their lives were still not very good. They could barely protect themselves by holding together, and they no longer had to run away when they saw the Orcs."

"Probably shortly after the Battle of the Five Armies, Beorn's name spread, and his brave performance on the battlefield was remembered by some people."

"About three months ago, I visited Beorn. He told me about the situation there. When he returned home from the Lonely Mountain and the rumors of the battle dissipated, people came near his residence. Many people asked Beorn to lead their resistance against the Orcs."

"At that time, River Valley City had not yet begun to rebuild, and Changhu Town was also in a depression that had just been relocated. Well... if it were later, maybe many of them would choose to invest in You's territory."

"It's too late now."

After Levi said this, he immediately put on his elytra.

"I'll be back soon."

Whoosh——

The familiar sound of fireworks sounded. Looking at the figure that suddenly flew up, Gandalf was suddenly startled.

"Come back later?"

No, it's back. It's all back.

Old Gandalf complained helplessly: "I thought he would be able to calm down a bit after becoming a lord, or at least be more calm."

"This 'adventurer' has really never changed..."

Listening to Gandalf's thoughts, the Eagle King was speechless for a while.

This legendary lord was indeed a sweet-tempered man. He was still talking one second, but he made a decision the next and suddenly flew away.

The mobility is really strong.

Speaking of how he flew, were those things that suddenly grew out of his back wings?

can't read.

"Let's go too. The Beorn clan's warriors are currently at a numerical disadvantage. This may be a tough battle."

Today's Beorn clan has not been established for too long. Although its members are brave and good at fighting, they have not developed for a long time, and the war came in a hurry, leaving no time for preparation.

but…

A tough fight?

Gandalf shook his head and didn't seem to agree very much with this statement, but he still accepted the Eagle King's proposal.

The next moment, with a flutter, the Eagle King flapped his wings and jumped off the rock, carrying Gandalf and flying closely behind the black figure.

"Everyone who can take up arms should take up arms!"

In a village located on the west side of the Black Forest, in the upper reaches of the Anduin Valley, Beorn summoned all the adult men and young men who were strong enough in the village and ordered them to arm themselves.

But even so, there are really not many people here, probably a few hundred.

If it were the army configuration of River Valley City, these few hundred people would definitely be able to crush the thousands of Oak cavalry.

But the problem is, poor.

Not every place is the territory of a legendary lord.

Beorn's family had only been formed a few years ago, and ensuring that everyone gathered could hold weapons was thanks to the recently built heavenly road.

The construction team opened an elevator tunnel in the area where the Beorn family lives.

Yes, a passage specially opened for the thousands of people from the Beorn family.

When Bard and Beorn brought this up, Beorn was truly surprised.

Such a big project is actually willing to open a separate passage for our small village.

This passage is obviously useful. It promotes collusion and communication between the east and west sides of the Black Forest, and brings a large amount of honey and wild fruits to River Valley City and Changhu Town.

But they can't put so much effort just for our honey and wild fruits, right?

In any case, this is indeed a good thing. Because of the great convenience of circulation, hundreds of young and talented people present are equipped with weapons, but that's all.

Everyone has a good weapon, which is the limit of the village's operation in the past two years. As for armor...most people wear leather, and they are basically made by themselves.

After gathering all available combat forces, Beorn gave a pre-battle speech.

As a strong and combat-savvy skin-changer, Beorn's speech style is also quite direct:

"I believe that none of the people who were called here are cowards. Those Oaks dare to challenge us and try to plunder something from us, then we will give them death as they want!"

The tribesmen roared, fighting intent burning in every eye.

Watching the white air exhaled from his nostrils and then rising slowly, Beorn suddenly felt enlightened.

Winter has arrived.

Yes, it is time.

It is also at this time that the Orcs will start plundering. They are not the kind that can manage their territory and store food in peace.

Just as I was thinking, there was a whoosh in the air, and a black shadow fell quickly, and plunged into the small pond next to it.

"Hu——"

Levi swam out of the icy pond and put on armor.

It was as if he could not feel the cold.

"Fortunately, it has not frozen yet."

"Good afternoon." He greeted.

"... Good afternoon."

Seeing who was coming, Beorn opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything for a long time.

After a moment, he gave up on investigating Levi's actions and said in a rather calm tone:

"You came at a really bad time. As you can see, we are about to have a war."

"The enemy is the Orcs in the north of the Misty Mountains. They are trying to attack us without knowing their own strength."

Beorn had no intention of hiding anything from the friendly legendary figure in front of him. He told him everything he knew right away.

"It's a bit too arrogant indeed. I'll be part of this battle."

Levi patted the sword at his waist.

"Then please..."

Beorn wanted to ask you to take care of your own life. After all, if something happened to the person in front of him, it would be a serious matter.

But, think about it carefully.

Based on his performance in the last Battle of Five Armies, the probability of him being killed by a goblin in the form of a giant bear is greater than that of him getting into trouble in a battle of this scale.

Beorn changed his words midway and said, "Please don't refuse our thanks."

"Of course, I'd be happy to take some souvenirs back."

Levi nodded slightly, but at this time his mind was no longer on the conversation - nor on the upcoming small battle.

His eyes had already fallen on the large beehives near Beorn's hall.

The bees in there were not ordinary big, so big that even the dwarves of the expedition were shocked when they saw them for the first time.

Because the demand for honey was really not very large, Levi had always ignored bees.

But... Although it doesn't matter if there is no honey, it's still good to have it.

Honey, like milk, has special effects when it is produced by Levi.

Milk can remove all buffs, whether good or bad.

Honey is different. It is a directional removal, which can remove the poisoning buff alone without affecting other effects.

And compared to milk, honey has another more important point: it can be stacked.

One inventory can stack 16 bottles, which is equivalent to 16 powerful antidotes.

Take a few sets of this stuff with you when you go out next time. When you meet a Ringwraith, no matter how hoarse his voice is, he won't be poisoned.

"I do have something I want..."
