Chapter 31 A Scheme Within a Scheme

The moment this knight appeared, his aggression was not merely expressed in the pollution of the ground, but also in assimilation, infecting everything around him. Even the raindrops falling from the sky, once they entered his vicinity, seemed to be infected and assimilated, filled with an evil aura!

Suddenly, two points of soul-stirring crimson light shone from both the knight and his steed. Contact with this light seemed to suck the soul dry. These were their eyes.

Yes, these were the most terrifying and powerful creatures in the Lord of the Rings, wearing rings that made them permanently invisible, able to walk between reality and shadow.

They were Sauron's most terrible servants, darkness accompanied them, and the sound of death howled from their mouths. These were the Nazgûl, the Ringwraiths!

At this moment, everyone in the entire caravan was under attack, except for Wu Ge's carriage. The attackers seemed to know very well that this newly advanced Dawn Elf was in a very awkward situation. Maintaining the status quo and doing nothing was the best method. Breaking the carriage that confined her at this time would only create unexpected variables.

In the rain and mist, the entire battlefield was filled with a sense of slaughter and evil. The line of carriages remained on the mountain road like a stiff, dead snake. Even the sacred unicorns began to neigh in fear and unease, looking around and pawing at the ground with their hooves. Clearly, if they weren't harnessed to the carriages, they would have already bolted away.

"We... meet... again." The Ringwraith said to Elrond's carriage in a voice devoid of joy or sorrow. His voice seemed to echo and collide within a cavity for a long time before it was transmitted, giving people a feeling of resonance throughout their bodies.

"Today, I, Kamûl, seventh Duke of Númenor, descendant of the God of the Cliff, faithful servant of King Sauron, master of the dwelling place, predict here that upon my sword's edge, the blood of the half-elf Elrond will surely be drunk, and your heart will be sacrificed to my master! To become his most delicious food."

Elrond finally stepped out of the carriage, but he was holding a woman's hand.

This elven woman looked very noble and elegant. In her hand, she held a magical staff. This staff looked like a tree branch, but on this branch, it was constantly sprouting, growing leaves, blossoming, bearing fruit, and withering, then sprouting again.

As soon as he saw this elven woman, the Ringwraith Kamûl's eyes flashed red again:

"Galadriel?? Why are you here?"

Yes, this woman was none other than Galadriel, the elven leader of Lothlórien forest!! This was a pure-blooded elf, and in the original story, she could even wear the One Ring without being tempted by it at all! This showed how powerful she was!

At the same time, the lightning that struck Elder Bertahan. Fuyu was met by a fair palm, which absorbed the power of the lightning. An elf with brilliant golden hair and noble bearing also emerged from the carriage without touching the ground:

"How could I possibly miss such a thing?"

Glorfindel, the Dawn Elf who should have been in Rivendell, also appeared here!

In the face of this disadvantageous situation, the orc Lurtz had once again drawn his bow.

That huge bow that seemed to be soaked in blood!

The arrow was cold, like the pupil of an ogre, aiming at Glorfindel in front of him.

Although the number of enemies present was unexpected, they were all powerful mages. To Lurtz, a hidden archer who spied on the enemy's weaknesses, he could vaguely deter the entire field.

Because the more powerful the spell, the more it needed to be chanted. And during the chanting process, it was the best time for Lurtz's terrifying archery to show its power!

Lurtz suddenly released the bowstring. With a "twang," the bowstring cut through the air with a chilling sound. His arrow flew out with an incomparably fierce aura. As long as there was a violent collision, it would explode, spreading strong miasma around. Whether the enemy blocked it or not, they would feel trapped in a dilemma, giving the Ringwraith knight, who was good at突击 (tu ji, assault), the first move.

However, at this moment, among the corpses of the elven servants, suddenly one corpse rolled over and climbed up from the ground. Without any movement from him, he simply plucked with his left hand as elegantly as stroking a zither string. One could see a point of green light arriving first, intercepting the miasma arrow shot by Lurtz in mid-air.

This arrow had only just flown twenty meters when it was intercepted. It exploded in the air with a puff of hazy, ghastly green mist, which looked somewhat similar to the cloud of cursed potion created by Fang Senyan, but with a stronger sense of threat. However, this cloud of mist lingered on the empty ground beside it, failing to play its due role.

That "corpse" wiped his face, revealing the elf prince Legolas's handsome, sun-like smile:

"Although my father has returned to the kingdom, how could the Silvan Elves of Thranduil not participate in such an interesting event?"

At this time, outside the rain and mist, several vague figures appeared again. These figures looked quite familiar, none other than the contractors who initially entered this world with Fang Senyan and the others.

The reserve colonist MT was called Mo Yi, his confidant was called Shu Ren, and these two, plus Ilena, who had previously been overwhelmed by Fang Senyan, barely formed a team. Now it seemed that they were also playing a significant role in this matter.

Based on the current situation, it could be judged that the so-called Elrond's trip to the Undying Lands was actually a trap to lure people into a scheme.

The people who had secretly attacked Elrond before should have understood Elrond's injuries, knowing that if he could not go to the Undying Lands in the short term, then he would truly die in Middle-earth. Therefore, Elrond's journey from Rivendell to the Undying Lands was the best time for them to strike.

Obviously, Elrond also noticed this, so his original intention was to bring most of the elves of Rivendell along. However, now it seemed that Fang Senyan's instigation of Wu Ge from a certain point of view, undoubtedly helped those who secretly attacked Elrond a great deal.

So this time, Elrond was forced to travel with only a few people, which was exactly what those who attacked him in secret wanted. It seemed that Mo Yi and his group had quite a bit of energy, persuading Elrond to use a scheme within a scheme, using himself as bait to lure out these attackers. Now it seemed that their strategy was undoubtedly very successful.

The combination of Elf Prince Legolas + two elven elders + Elf leader Galadriel + Glorfindel was already a terrifying existence. Without a doubt, this lineup against the ambushing Ringwraith Kamûl + Lurtz + several dark mages in the dark was a completely碾压性 (nian ya xing, overwhelming) advantage.

However, Ringwraith Kamûl and Lurtz did not seem to have any intention of retreating, especially Lurtz, whose eyes were shining with cruel and cold light. He took out a leather wine bag from his waist, tilted his head back, and drank it in gulps. Dark red wine overflowed from the corners of his mouth, flowing into his furry chest.

Ringwraith Kamûl suddenly laughed triumphantly:

"Very good, very good, really very good, you all really came. If we kill all of you here today, then when our master, the Dark Lord, sweeps across Middle-earth, there will undoubtedly be far fewer obstacles! Begin, in the name of the Witch-king of Angmar!"

Galadriel sneered at the first moment:

"Bluffing! If the Witch-king of Angmar, the leader of the Ringwraiths, made any changes, then Gandalf or Saruman would notify us in the first instance. More importantly, I just received news of the Wind's Whisper three hours ago that Patia in the human kingdom was attacked by seven Ringwraiths, and the shadow of the Nazgûl covered that beautiful city - and the distance from the Misty Mountains to Patia is so long that even the fastest Silverhorn Unicorn would have to gallop for fifteen days!"

Ringwraith Kamûl laughed hoarsely, like a rusted blade scraping forcefully on a whetstone:

"Yes, you are absolutely right. My companions are wantonly spreading the glory and darkness of our master in Patia, but the followers of the Supreme God have helped us. They have painstakingly arranged things here, building seven magic arrays that can tear through time and space, and with the help of the Supreme God's divine power, my seven companions can rush over in an instant to turn you to blood and ashes!"

At this time, one could suddenly see seven terrifying deep black pillars of light tearing through the rain and mist, tearing through the haziness, and soaring into the sky!

These seven terrifying deep black pillars of light, plus Ringwraith Kamûl, formed a perfect encirclement. Then, the seven deep black pillars of light gradually condensed together. The eight Ringwraiths gathered at the same time at this moment! One by one, cold, dull voices drifted from all directions, like the most vicious curses from hell.

"I am Wau-dol, my sword is eager to cut off your trachea."

"I am Doom-bringer Ji'indu, I like the taste of elven blood."

"I am Akh-Horahil, Galadriel, your long hair will become a decoration on my saddle."

"Duke Holm-ras will spread fear into the depths of your souls."

"Your heads will form a part of the steps of me, the Silent Aton-nafil!
