Chapter 32 Regaining Confidence

"This kind of grand scene... far exceeded my expectations."

About three kilometers away from the battlefield, there was a very hidden cave. The entrance was covered with vines. If you walked inside and turned ninety degrees, you could see a group of people sitting together. In front of them was a pool of clear water about five or six square meters in size, but the surface of the water was like a mirror, reflecting the situation on the distant mountain ridge battlefield clearly and without any omissions.

The one who spoke just now was Fang Senyan. His eyebrows were tightly furrowed because he realized that he, who originally thought he was hidden behind the scenes, planning and controlling the situation, had also become a pawn in someone else's scheme, tragically exploited!

Moreover, the battle situation has now developed to such a point that not only have the eight Nazgûl gathered, but there's also the addition of the Uruk-hai Lurtz. This level of conflict... to be honest, it's beyond the capabilities of Fang Senyan's current strength to intervene.

That battlefield was like a deep, powerful vortex. Without sufficient strength, don't even think about entering. Just getting close would mean being swallowed up without any chance of resistance, torn into fragments unrecognizable to the naked eye!

"Although it's regrettable to say, I've indeed lost control of this situation... I can't find any flaws in this layout." When Fang Senyan said this, there was a strong sense of bitterness. This was the first time he admitted his miscalculation.

Reef stared at the battlefield, which resembled a sandbox, for a long time before saying to Fang Senyan:

"The guy who set up this killing game is quite formidable and willing to spend. The teleportation array he used to transport the other seven Nazgûl was exchanged for merit points and can only be used once. The cost of those seven teleportation arrays alone exceeds one hundred merit points!"

Fang Senyan said in surprise:

"Props exchanged for merit points, can the plot characters actually use them?"

Reef said:

"This item must be upgraded to the rank of general before it can appear in the exchange list. The name is called point-to-point space folding technology device. If the contractor uses it, it will have the effect of immediately returning, immediately returning from the Nightmare World to the Nightmare Space, but it will reduce all the user's basic attributes, and any items and rewards obtained in this world will be cleared."

"But this item can also be used by plot characters, which can form a very powerful one-time teleportation array, instantly teleporting them to a designated place. I heard about one thing before, in the Terminator 1 plot, the plot character Reese (the guy who traveled through time with T1, John Connor's father) was originally destined to die, but a contractor used this item to immediately teleport the seriously injured Reese to the hospital and successfully saved him with surgery. So I have a certain impression of this item, and I immediately thought of it when I saw it."

Fang Senyan frowned, worriedly saying:

"Putting that aside, these guys can already make the Nazgûl trust them. Their foundation in this world might be unimaginably deep."

Reef thought for a while and said:

"Boss, I think you might be overthinking some things. The Nightmare World is a crazy world, and it's also a world full of opportunities. Remember our performance in the Avatar world? You were also entering that cursed place for the first time, but the answer you gave was to make the master of that planet - well, at least one of the masters, Eywa - compromise. Let's talk about the guys on the other side. They can gain the friendship of the Nazgûl? But the premise is that these creatures still have this stuff in their rotten brains?"

Hearing Reef's words, Fang Senyan's eyes suddenly lit up. He was stunned for a while and suddenly said:

"You're right! My friend, it's indeed a very stupid idea to make friends with the Nazgûl and the Uruk-hai. Perhaps... my initial starting point was wrong. These guys are not invulnerable - let's change the way we think about the problem! That is cost accounting!"

"Cost accounting? I don't quite understand." Reef said, puzzled.

Fang Senyan pondered for a moment and said:

"We can be more direct, looking at the results through the process. Okay, let's put aside the damn process of these guys laying out ambushes and consider how much it cost them to do such a beautiful thing."

"First of all, they have to approach and persuade the Witch-king of Angmar. Except for this boss among the Nazgûl, no one can command the eight Nazgûl to gather at the same time. Secondly, they consumed eight point-to-point space folding technology equipment. According to the data you provided, this is a huge fortune of more than one hundred merit points. No contractor would do a losing business, so it can be basically assumed that their harvest must be several times the price they paid... So let's deduce what aspects their harvest comes from?"

"Reputation. Killing these people will undoubtedly make their reputation soar. Task rewards. Extremely difficult tasks may involve killing the elven leaders in the Middle-earth alliance. Of course, there are also the spoils that appear after killing."

Reef listed the above examples very confidently.

Fang Senyan's breathing became rapid:

"Yes, you're right, spoils... I know what their purpose is! The ambitions of the contractors on the opposite side are unimaginably large!! Their ultimate goal must be to get their hands on the powerful Three Rings of the Elves!"

"The Three Rings of the Elves were forged together with the One Ring and are treasures of the same level, gifts from the gods to the Elven race. Now, the Ring of Fire among the Three Rings of the Elves is on Gandalf, and the Ring of Air is in Elrond's hands, while Galadriel wears the Ring of Water called Nenya! If their attack succeeds this time, then they can get their hands on two artifacts of the same level as the One Ring!"

Reef gasped:

"They, they're plotting so big? This is really a bit unbelievable. Even if Elrond and Galadriel are killed, the eight Nazgûl will never let them take these two artifact-level rings!"

Fang Senyan said very confidently:

"Then the final parting of ways between this group of people and the Nazgûl is inevitable!! That will be our chance!"

Speaking of this, Fang Senyan took a deep breath:

"My judgment must be correct, Reef. This story sounds outrageous, but think about it carefully, if you had this opportunity, what would you choose?"

Reef hesitated for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile:

"I would also plot for these two artifacts."

At this time, Fang Senyan sat up straight, placed his hand on the ground, and carefully observed the battlefield in the magic water mirror. The confident light in his eyes also recovered, and then became more and more intense:

"We still have a chance in this battle, there are still plenty of opportunities to fish in troubled waters!"

Reef sighed in disappointment:

"Boss, but our current strength is too weak to intervene in this level of battle..."

Fang Senyan sneered:

"That's right, maybe the strength of the two sides now is like stone, very hard granite, and we are an egg that will shatter no matter who we touch, but these two pieces of granite are going to collide! With the protection of two powerful artifact-level rings, the elves are not so easy to get rid of. When the balance of the war enters a stalemate, an egg may very well determine the success or failure!"

The eight Nazgûl joined forces, and there was also Lurtz, who possessed terrifying archery skills, watching covetously. Obviously, running away was not a good idea.

Faced with this situation, Galadriel raised her left hand without hesitation. On the middle finger of her left hand, a ring that looked like a morning star shone with dazzling light. It was she who activated the protective ability of her Ring of Water, Nenya.

Suddenly, an invisible light shield appeared with her as the center, covering an area of ​​dozens of square meters. The light was soft and tough, forcing the approaching Nazgûl back! Of course, they would not be willing to be squeezed away like this, and immediately roared and drew out their burning greatswords to launch a fierce attack.

The dark and evil weapons smashed on the shield formed by Nenya, immediately stirring up circles of ripples. Although the shield still looked as tough as ever, this also indicated that the Nazgûl's attacks were also effective, and the shield would be broken sooner or later.

Galadriel turned to look at Elrond, who was pale beside her, and said coldly, word by word:

"Are you still hiding your strength now? The Ring of Air is the strongest of the Three Rings of the Elves, let these filthy and evil creatures see the anger of Vilya."

A strange expression suddenly appeared on Elrond's face. He was expressionless and slowly shook his head:

"I can't do it."

Galadriel choked, and was about to speak in extreme anger, but at this time, Elrond had already unbuttoned his upper body robe towards her, and Galadriel couldn't speak all of a sudden.

On Elrond's left chest, there was a terrifying wound. The wound was stabbed with a greatsword, deep and long. But the edges of the wound were all charred, as if they had been scorched by flames and completely carbonized. The charring of that wound also showed cracks, constantly flowing out a pungent pus, as if with its own will, it was still trying to extend towards the depths of Elrond's body!

A little light shone in the depths of Elrond's body. His injury had deteriorated to such an extent that he had to bury the Ring of Air, Vilya, deep in the wound, using its divine power to resist the deterioration of the injury!

Obviously, if Elrond dared to use the Ring of Air Vilya, then he would have to die!

The paving chapter is finished, three more tomorrow!
