Chapter 1 A Matter Under Consideration

From the very beginning, Fang Senyan had been pondering a question.

That was, compared to the tens of thousands of people on the entire battlefield, the strength of himself, and even the entire Ace Team, was too insignificant. So insignificant that even if you tried your best, you couldn't make a difference to the overall situation.

It was like in a chess game, one side losing a pawn at the start would definitely affect the balance of power, but it would definitely not be a guaranteed loss.

The Ace Team was like an insignificant pawn in the entire battle, dispensable.

This was cruel, but it was the truth!

This feeling made Fang Senyan very uncomfortable. He hated this feeling of being out of control, so he had to find a way to change it.

Accordingly, there were two ways to make one's strength influence the entire battle.

The first way was to quickly strengthen the Ace Team's strength, allowing it to grow to the point where it could determine the outcome of the battle—this path was obviously impossible to achieve quickly, meaning this road was blocked.

So, the only remaining path was actually the same principle as how to make a small pawn crucial in chess, which was to persevere until the endgame!

As long as the entire battle/chess game was dragged into the endgame stage where everything was about to end, then the Ace Team/a small pawn that was insignificant in the early stages could determine the victory or defeat of the entire battle/chess game!

This was the goal that Fang Senyan had clearly established from the moment he entered this world.

However, the cruel reality was that this Battle of the Pelennor Fields was difficult to drag into an endgame.

Why? Because in the later stages of the battle, the protagonist Aragorn cheated and pulled out the army of mountain men spirits that had existed for three thousand years. The undead army had extremely high resistance to physical attacks. From the movie plot, it could be seen that they could at least withstand the intensity of the Elven Prince Legolas shooting with his bow!

So, when these undead legions appeared, they were almost invincible. First, they easily destroyed the Umbar pirates, then seized ships and sailed downriver, crushing the remaining forces of the Orc legions like withered leaves. Even the terrifying mammoth war beasts trained by the Southern Haradrim were helpless against the undead legion's attacks, as if they were terminators on the battlefield, and nothing could stop their advance!

After much deliberation, Fang Senyan realized that the only ones who could deal with them were Gandalf and Saruman, who could summon light, and even that was only theoretically possible. Keep in mind that each of these mountain men's souls had existed for three thousand years. As the saying goes, a thousand-year-old demon is already very powerful. Imagine a legion composed of ghosts who have cultivated for three thousand years...!

More importantly, how much imagination would it take to expect Gandalf to deal with the undead army? Expect Saruman, that old fox, to come forward? It was estimated that Sauron didn't even have the right to order Sauron.

So, Fang Senyan decisively believed that any attempt to directly confront the ghost army was useless.

However, not being able to confront them head-on definitely did not mean that there was no way to confront them!

At this time, Fang Senyan had already planned everything clearly, considering every detail, and was confident.

And the first thing he had to do at this time was to find the extremely unlucky Umbar pirates who could be described as extras.

The vast Anduin River flowed quietly across the plain, like a sleeping giant serpent, powerful and silent, still inspiring awe. The wide water surface was gentle, rippling in circles. If the sunlight had not been obscured by Sauron's power, then it would have been a splendid scene of golden light filling the river.

Fang Senyan reached into the water of the Anduin River, and it was unexpectedly cold, as if he had reached into freshly melted snow water.

Legend has it that the Anduin River was dug out by the Maia Great God with his personal weapon, so there would inevitably be extremely fine debris of that divine object in the riverbed of the Anduin River. Therefore, for thousands of years, under the influence of that powerful divine power, the river water was particularly cold.

In the Second Age, a powerful king of the Dúnedain heard this news. He launched a war, brazenly annexed the seven kingdoms, and then used the power of the seven kingdoms to mine the Anduin River's riverbed in a gold-panning manner. In the end, he really panned out extremely precious icy cold fragments. However, this king exhausted the power of the seven kingdoms, and in the end, the glittering star iron that was salvaged was only a handful. His kingdom also fell into smoke and war because of this mining.

Finally, this handful of star iron, which was salvaged with the power of the whole country, was mixed with various rare metals and eventually cast into an extremely cold, pitch-black arrow, known as the Black Arrow.

This arrow did not do anything earth-shattering, but as soon as it was born, it brazenly shot and killed the dragon Smaug (the final boss of the movie *The Hobbit*), who had destroyed a dwarf kingdom and occupied the Lonely Mountain. Its power can be seen from this. (Note: The Black Arrow is a real thing in the original book, but its origin has not been found and is my fabrication).

Looking at his reflection in the river water, Fang Senyan's eyes revealed a pensive look.

Although he had never dealt with the Umbar pirates, he knew what kind of people pirates were. Moreover, the several troops that Sauron sent to participate in the war each had their own characteristics:

The characteristic of the Orc legions was that they were numerous and had extremely strong cohesion. Even if they were reduced by 50%, they could still fight frantically.

The Ringwraiths were super strong individuals, and their flight and group fear were very powerful for charging into battle and breaking formations.

The Southern Haradrim were characterized by their ability to tame powerful mammoth war beasts and rely on them to fight.

What about the pirates?

Compared with the several reinforcements arranged by Sauron, apart from the mobility of sailing on the water, their strength was actually the weakest link.

So, the pirates were the last to arrive. Their strength was their mobility, coming all the way along the Anduin River, creating panic and cutting off the enemy's supply lines. This meant that if the pirates abandoned their ships and water warfare, their individual combat strength was the weakest link.

This was not Fang Senyan's conjecture. In the original movie plot, the Orc legions could contemptuously call the Umbar pirates "stinky pirates" and use them like slaves. If the pirates were strong, their status would never be so low.

More importantly, Prince Legolas easily killed the Umbar pirate boatswain Mupas (who seemed to be played by director Peter Jackson himself) with a casual arrow, which shows how low their combat strength was.

So, Fang Senyan's plan was to find the Umbar pirates, and then prevent them from attacking Pelargir, and avoid their destined encounter with the undead legion led by Aragorn!

Of course, Fang Senyan didn't think that the Umbar pirates were a group of people who were easy to persuade, so he didn't intend to persuade them with his mouth, but was prepared to use a knife when necessary!

Fang Senyan's goal was very simple, which was to use his current identity as an ally to meet the leader of the Umbar pirates: Arassan, a Dark Númenórean (isn't his name very similar to the protagonist Aragorn? In the *Lord of the Rings* plot, these two people should have been related by blood. Their ancestors were common), and then persuade him. If he couldn't be persuaded, then... he would go all out and assassinate him!

In terms of the internal chaos and brutality of the pirates, even if he couldn't kill Arassan, or even if he seriously injured him, then there would definitely be a fierce struggle for power next. It would take at least a few hours to elect a new leader. In this way, Fang Senyan would naturally achieve his goal.

Because of this plan, Fang Senyan had to get the Hedgehog Milestone before coming here, because its reward was extremely important to his survival!

You must know that after Fang Senyan brazenly assassinated, if he wanted to escape, he would definitely jump into the river to escape. Then, at this time, the biggest threat to him was not the people who jumped into the water to chase him, but the amazing number of firearms and bows and arrows equipped on the pirate ship! Although the individual strength of the pirates was not strong, they must be extremely skilled in using these weapons. If Fang Senyan didn't leave a way out for himself, then his fate would definitely be to be turned into a hedgehog and sink into the dark and cold riverbed.

Of course, this was just Fang Senyan's initial plan. Assassination was just the fastest way to plan. With his own strength, it was not a fantasy to hold back the Umbar pirates for a few hours by other means, such as diving down and blowing up the bottom of several ships, or touching the wealth warehouse they robbed along the way and sinking this wealth into the river...

But when Fang Senyan gave up the retreat route that he could withdraw from the Dark Spring Hall and saw the latest exchange items, he suddenly realized that he might not have to take such a big risk.

The prop that Fang Senyan had his eye on was Morgoth's Blood.

This was a terrifying blood crystal that could upgrade the props he already possessed, and the price was not too expensive. It only cost 200 contribution points to get Morgoth's Blood, and it was sold at a 50% discount when buying the first one, which meant it only cost 100 contribution points.

At this time, in Fang Senyan's palm, there was a crystal clear crystal, which was hollow inside, sealing a small pinch of blue powder! The color of that powder was as deep as the blue sky and sea when there were no clouds for thousands of miles. Although it was only a small pinch, it was going to make people's eyes and even souls fall into it and unable to extricate themselves.

This was Morgoth's Blood.

Next, Fang Senyan took out another prop by the vast Anduin River:

The Anywhere Door!

This was a prop that had already been upgraded. The current attribute was: Using this prop under any circumstances will create an Anywhere Door. You can return to the Nightmare Space through the Anywhere Door, stay for up to one hour, and then return to this world through the Anywhere Door.

The Anywhere Door will have 1,000 absolute hit points and can be destroyed. If it is destroyed, then you will not be able to return.

At this time, the Anywhere Door was held in Fang Senyan's hand. It was actually a miniature model the size of a palm. It looked as if it was carved from stone, full of barbarism and ancient flavor. The texture was very delicate, and it felt very cold to the touch.

Fang Senyan closed his eyes and muttered something similar to praying. Of course, he couldn't know whether the next upgrade would be successful, and even if it was successful, whether it would develop in the direction he expected.

However, he knew that there was no god in this world, but there was the Noah Space!

Seeing that he was already at a disadvantage, there was of course no wishful thinking in this world, but it did not prevent the space from helping himself within the scope of his duties! Of course, the contractor of the enemy could also enjoy the preferential treatment within the scope of the space's duties, so in a sense, it was also relatively fair.

Seeing that Morgoth's Blood was only sprinkled on the surface of the Anywhere Door, but it could not be dissolved for a long time, Fang Senyan was not very anxious in his heart, because even if the promotion failed, it was not a dead end for him, it was just more troublesome, and the chances of success would be lower.

But the facts proved that Noah Space was still paying attention to Fang Senyan, and it heard Fang Senyan's prayer! A ray of light began to slowly wander over the Anywhere Door and Morgoth's Blood. The two gradually merged, and finally the Anywhere Door began to turn blue and began to deform, and Morgoth's Blood began to burn. When the flame went out, Fang Senyan looked at the Anywhere Door again and had obtained a new description:

Morgoth's Zipper

Rarity: Dark Gold

Description: This is a product of mutation generated after Morgoth's Blood permeated a certain space prop. It has indescribable amazing power and can easily break through the barrier of the plane and connect two worlds.

Use: Hold Morgoth's Zipper and forcefully draw a crack in space and time in the air to connect to your designated world (including the Nightmare Space). You can enter the designated world through this channel, but you can also summon friendly forces into this world through this channel!

The space-time rift channel created by Morgoth's Zipper can only maintain a stable period of thirty minutes. If you want to try to enter other worlds through this channel, then please be sure to return before this deadline, otherwise unpredictable consequences will occur.

The friendly forces you summon through this channel will exist on this world, but when you leave this world, the summoned friendly forces will also return to their original world at the same time.

*

Seeing this series of descriptions, Fang Senyan slowly lowered his head, and no one could see his expression. For a long time, he finally let out a series of wild laughs!

"So, the one who really doesn't want to fail is you, Noah Space!"

Ten minutes later, Fang Senyan came to a cliff next to the Anduin River, held Morgoth's Zipper in his right hand, and then jumped off the cliff that was more than ten meters high! His right hand emitted a shrill light, and he slammed it hard through the air. He heard an indescribable sharp sound in his ear. It was the sound of the plane's barrier being cut open. Immediately afterwards, a huge light door opened. From that light door, a huge black shadow rushed out directly and slammed heavily on the water surface of the vast Anduin River. Water flowers splashed everywhere like a waterfall, rushing straight into the sky, as if the entire river was about to let out a humiliating groan.

Immediately afterwards, what came into view was the blood-colored, abrupt, seemingly to be inserted into the sky sails.

It's like a dark cloud that covers the sea, full of wantonness and arrogance!

The Baradin Bloodsail!
