[Hobbit+HP] The truth of elves

Chapter 113

The wilderness of Eastern Rohan is a vast desert grassland. Not only are there few traces of animals, but there are also few tall vegetation and shelters.When night falls, even the bonfire after extinguishing is still conspicuous.

In this environment where all distractions were removed, it was obviously impossible to be insensitive to Thranduil's earnest attention to him.

In fact, Lucius felt that he should have gotten used to accepting the unscrupulous scrutiny of the Elf King a long time ago.Apparently Thranduil didn't consider whether his gaze would offend others.

However, unlike any previous time, after leaving Sarn Gable, Lucius actually began to feel that he could not stand Thranduil's attention.

Without any emotion, Thranduil simply and frequently put Lucius in the center of his vision.

Lucius had no idea why Thranduil did this, he just felt that the deep gaze was like a vortex constantly brewing and spinning under the calm sea, exuding an irresistible attraction.

Whenever this happened, Lucius would be forced by the tingling sensation in his scalp to jump up and cast a string of spells directly.

The Elven King was always beyond his expectations, as always.

Just when Lucius was about to put away the map angrily and return to the tent to isolate Thranduil from disturbing his attention, he suddenly felt his pressure lighten.

The sudden change made Lucius stunned for a moment, and then he felt a brewing deep pressure emanating from behind him.

There was an almost detectable sense of danger in the depression, which made Lucius instantly vigilant and turned around.Seeing that Hardion and Annis also jumped up at the same time, they grabbed their weapons guardedly.

Lucius looked in the direction they were looking at, and after a while, he heard the sound of fighting from far to near, mixed with human cries and screams.

Hardion and Annis drew their weapons immediately and blocked Thranduil and Lucius.

Perhaps it was because their bonfire was too eye-catching, the sound of the battle over there was coming straight to this side.After the distance is shortened, the situation of the comer is clear at a glance.

A group of humans in apparent caravan attire encounters a group of well-prepared raiders.Although the number of the attacking side is not dominant, they have better skills.The caravan side also needs a strong combat force to guard, but suffers from the burden of people and goods that need to be protected.It was also the caravan that took the initiative to approach Lucius and the others.

Encountering humans in the wilderness far from the city is not necessarily a good thing.But the caravan approached in a hurry before confirming the situation on the bonfire side. Obviously, it either had some ulterior motive, or it was in a hurry to jump the wall.

The pros and cons of helping out quickly flashed through his mind, but before Lucius made a decision, Thranduil, who was also guarded by Hadion and Annis, took the lead.

Lucius raised his head in astonishment when he heard the sound of arrows flying through the air, only to realize that Thranduil had taken out a bow from the pack at some point.

The Elven King was unwilling to interfere in the affairs of any other creature, but he was even more disgusted by witnessing unilateral slaughter.

The sharp arrow instantly hit the leader of the attacker's side with an unstoppable momentum.The opponent fell down in response, and the remaining force of the arrow even caused the knight's horse to stagger, and was chopped down to the ground by the counterattacking humans.

If you don't make a move, it's fine. Once you make a move, you will break the enemy's will with the force of thunder.

Thranduil's arrow brought the attackers' offensive to a standstill, while the caravan's morale rose instantly, and the caravan, which had been severely suppressed, immediately accelerated the pace of approaching this side.

After confirming with Thranduil's eyes, Hardion and Annis took the initiative to meet the direction of the seeker.

Thranduil did not make another move, but the changes that Hadion and Annis brought to the battle situation cannot be underestimated.A great elf warrior is like a tiger fighting a sheep in an ordinary human battle.

The battle situation has been decided, but no good fighter will let down his vigilance until the final result comes out.

Thranduil held his bow casually, not at all in the alert posture that other archers would have.But the aura emanating from his whole body made people have no doubts at all. If necessary, the second attack he raised his hand would only be more deadly.

Lucius looked at Thranduil, and couldn't help but straighten his eyes.

He had only seen the Elf King wearing battle armor and rushing to fight in the enemy's battle formation. Thranduil was powerful and intimidating in such a scene.

Although he had long heard that Legolas' excellent archery was taught by Thranduil himself, Lucius did not expect to see Thranduil's archery

The opportunity is in such a situation.

However, why did Thranduil choose bows and arrows in this situation instead of his more commonly used melee combat?

As soon as such a question appeared in Lucius' mind, he got the answer from Thranduil's position blocking Lucius.

Inexplicably, Lucius' mood became complicated.

With the help of the elves, the battle ended quickly.Seeing the situation on the scene clearly, the attackers quickly retreated, scattered and fled, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.

The rescued caravan was jubilant, and they were naturally grateful.

However, Lucius was relieved that the rescued human leader was obviously knowledgeable, and they didn't take the liberty of getting closer to Lucius and the others.Instead, he chose to bring only one follower after the battle, and followed Hadien and Annis who turned around to express their thanks.

Although Thranduil took the initiative to save someone, he actually had no desire to have more connections with the other party.

Seeing the visitor approaching, Thranduil, who was still standing upright, suddenly turned around and made a gesture of putting the bow and arrow back into the bag, and then Lucius was exposed to the gaze of the visitor.The attention of the human leader completed the turning action in an instant, and fell on Lucius. He said obsequiously: "Thanks to the help of the rangers. We can escape from death this time. Thank you very much!"

Lucius was taken aback for a moment, then raised his eyebrows.

Obviously, the caravan leaders quickly judged Thranduil's leadership position based on the strength they displayed at the beginning.Therefore, the person he wanted to talk to was naturally Thranduil.

It's just that I don't know whether it was deliberate or a coincidence. At this time, the Elf King made a move to recover the weapon, and the situation changed subtly.

From the opponent's point of view, three out of the four of them made a move when they encountered a battle, and only one, Lucius, who was obviously dressed in the most inconvenient way to fight, stood still from the beginning to the end.If it wasn't that he didn't have combat effectiveness, then he was still superior to the other three and didn't bother to make a move.

And the mighty archer turned around and left at the beginning of such a critical dialogue, obviously he did not have the right to speak and took the initiative to back down to avoid embarrassing hints.The identity of the leader in the team is revealed at this moment.

Because after leaving Amon Hen, Lucius used the method of camouflage for Anis to hide the iconic ear contours of the elves, and the caravan leader had no doubts about their human identities.

Lucius cast a glance at Thranduil, snorted lightly, and without refusing, took the opportunity to take up the conversation, as if he had acquiesced in his position.He only nodded slightly to the friendly humans, and replied casually: "It's a little effort."

This arrogant response did not annoy the visitor, but excited him instead.

The strong and righteous ranger has always been the object that the caravan is willing to make friends with. As for the attitude, it becomes a trivial matter in the face of absolute strength.

The leader of the caravan took the initiative and introduced himself: "We are the caravan from Edoras. I am the leader of the caravan, Neil, the son of Neo."

The tone of Lucius' response was still not salty, with some confident arrogance: "You can call me Malfoy."

"Oh..." Neil quickly glanced at the three figures behind Lucius, and was a little disappointed to see that Lucius didn't intend to continue the introduction.However, he soon recovered and was not affected by Lucius' indifference.The corners of his eyes added a bit of flattering smile, Neil laughed a few times, and asked, "It's my honor to meet you here, I would like to ask, I don't know where you are going next, maybe... ...Maybe it can be..." He rubbed his hands together, but didn't finish the rest of the sentence.

The meaning of human beings is very straightforward and easy to understand.The battle just now had added a lot of wounded to them. If the same enemy attacked again, the situation they would face would definitely be bad.

But if there is no value for use, Lucius is obviously not willing to be anyone's thug.As for the other three elf warriors that Neil coveted, it was even more impossible to be tempted.

The human in front of him was short and fat, with a layer of ash from the battle just hanging on his face.Apart from embarrassment, Lucius didn't find any residual value in the other party.

So the answer Neil received was even more evasive: "We just came out of Sarn Gab."

"Ah..." The moment Neil heard the answer, his face was full of disappointment, "We are about to go to Saen Gaibao..." Few people are willing to return the same way, especially the arrogant ranger.If the destination is the same, it is obviously more logical to go together and then make friends.

Seeing that Lucius didn't change his expression, Neil felt hopeful again, and said cautiously: "I wonder if I can... Hire some of you to provide some protection for my caravan? It won't take up too much of your time." A lot of time."

Because Lucius has not been in a hurry, their current location is actually not far from Saen Gabao.With such a distance, if the human caravan gritted its teeth and quickened its pace, it might not be able to take advantage of this opportunity tonight to shake off possible pursuers.It is not necessary to specially hire a few high-priced guards.

And once things are abnormal, there will often be something worth investigating.

Thinking of this, Lucius glanced curiously at Neil's caravan.

During the battle just now, most of Lucius' attention was on Thranduil.At that time, I only felt that there were too many people in this caravan.But if you don't look at it, you don't know, now that you look at it again, Lucius finds something weird.

The author has something to say: the previous late update to make up the debt, eliminate the debt 1, and there is one chapter left.Well, the health bar is a bit empty, probably not within this week...

Thank you ailin for never leaving mine~~~
