[Lord of the Rings] Green Leaf's Blessing

After receiving the letter from His Majesty the King, Kachs sent a total of two squads to the edge of the northern border to meet the Long Lakers, and for the first time, when appointing Legolas as the captain of one of the squads, he smiled and said to him: : "His Majesty wishes you to come home by the way, and I think there is nothing wrong with that, Legolas, to prove to him that you are capable enough to complete such a task."

This is something that has never happened before, after all, Legolas is still a minor elf.

"Don't worry, the other squad leader, Tulun, will be very willing to guide and help you." As if seeing through the doubts of the young elf, Kachs comforted, "I have never seen you who can reach the goal in such a short period of time. A young boy whom training requires, Legolas, you indeed have a talent that should not be underestimated."

In this way, a total of ten elf warriors from two teams were sent to the border to meet the caravan of the Long Lakers, and two of Legolas' friends, Eman and Pearne, were also among them.Along the way, the Sylvans were all laughing and making noises, as if it was just an ordinary journey, while Legolas and Tulun, as the captains, walked ahead of the team vigilantly, scanning their sharp eyes. In the dense forest ahead, sensitive ears catch the throbbing in the wind.

"As long as we go through this valley again, it will be much safer to walk back to the road—in fact, I don't mind a few half-orcs suddenly appearing from the dense gap to be our targets," Tulun looked at the front seriously. While joking, "Although these ugly guys who occasionally escape from the north are dangerous, they are not enough to pose too much threat."

"You must have killed a lot of orcs in the past, Tulun?" Legolas was a little nervous, but also asked enviously.

"Of course, but these dark things still emit a stench for a long time after death, and even the forest will whimper because it can't bear it. After this mission is over, I would like to suggest that the captain send someone to search the entire valley again. , I have always suspected that some of the Orcs who were besieged by us last time escaped, and the intricate terrain in the valley is very convenient for hiding."

Just as they were talking, the team behind them stopped suddenly, because the wheels of a carriage unfortunately fell into a deep pit.The Long Lakers complained and pushed the carriage with all their strength.Under such circumstances, the elves just rested for a while, and then scattered around to observe the movement in the forest.

However, when the Changhu people finally pulled the carriage out of the deep pit, they were unwilling to continue walking because of fatigue. They sat on the spot and shouted that they had to rest before leaving, which made Tulun half dead.Three of the Changhu people walked into the woods beside the valley, saying it was convenient, but they refused to let the elves accompany them.

"Do as you like!" Finally Eman yelled angrily, "If you are captured by the orcs, you will deserve it!"

Time passed by, but the three people did not return. Aiman ​​couldn't help but get a little nervous, patted his thigh, and said with some annoyance: "Could it be that I really hit the mark?"

His voice was loud, and the faces of the remaining Long Lakers quickly sank, looking at each other with some fear and anxiety.

"I'll go find them." Legolas' first reaction was to follow the direction the three left.

"Wait, Legolas," Tulum stopped, "You shouldn't leave the team easily at this time..."

"But we can't just let the three Long Lake people go, right? Adar said that the responsibility and significance of protecting these Long Lake people is particularly great. A little carelessness will affect the friendship between Dalvlin and Long Lake. Now they are in We have lost traces in our land, and it is our duty to find them and keep them safe. Leave it to us, Tulun, and I will take Emman and Peaen into the valley to search, and you will take the rest The people who escorted the caravan to a safe road first, and then came back to support me..."

Tu Lun frowned and looked at the young elf in front of him. His Highness the Prince was gentle and courteous, but his calm voice unconsciously revealed all the majesty and confidence of the king.

"Has His Majesty ever said that your own safety is equally important, Legolas?"

What he said was the most important.Legolas smiled slightly, and continued, "How many orcs do you suspect slipped into the valley?"

Tulun thought for a while, and then said, "No more than ten."

"Is there a warg accompanying you?" Payne couldn't help but interjected and asked.

"From all indications, not."

"That's it," Legolas continued with a smile, "for three well-trained forest warriors, ten half-orcs are still slightly less than the number of arrow targets. This is the same as the past. Unlike terrified kids who just know how to hide, we are ready now."

As he spoke, he raised the yew bow in his hand.

Tulun didn't think for too long, so he nodded.

Three days later, when His Majesty the King, who was wholeheartedly waiting for the return of the child from afar, was instructing Galian to prepare the lemon pie Legolas liked, the forest warriors from the north brought him bad news.

Thranduil didn't even know how he managed to stay calm and listen to the long passage, and the last few sentences were sharpened on his heart like a knife blade: "We have not been able to find His Royal Highness since then. They, there are two half-orc corpses in the valley, and two Changhu people who were frightened and foolish but safe and sound.

When he rushed to the side of the mount, he found that Fino was waiting for him there.His only old friend knew him so well.

"It seems that whether you are at home or elsewhere, your little green leaves are equally worrying for you," Fino said while jumping on the back of the horse, "Of course I cannot deny that I am also responsible, because I made that suggestion to you, However, I still feel that you are too nervous..."

"Shut up, Fino." Thranduil clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and drove the horse forward.

"What's the matter, Your Majesty? Are you so unconfident about your little green leaf?" Fino's laughter chased after him, "Maybe he is having a good time right now."

Fino was only half right. Legolas and his two companions had walked through the forest for three days, and they had already become exhausted from the initial excitement.

Among the lush bushes, a pair of blue eyes suddenly appeared, showing vigilance and faint firmness.The hand on the bow didn't tremble, but there was still a thin layer of sweat oozing from his smooth forehead. After all, this was his first official battle.The wind blew again, but he just shook his head slightly, avoiding the entanglement of those dense branches.

Two half-orcs came near the stream, apparently looking for food.They looked around warily as they scolded and picked up berries from the ground and filled their water bladders.But these ugly evil creatures have limited understanding of the forest, and they will not easily find the eyes of the forest master under the protection of the forest.

"Why do we have to take that man with us? He looks fat and fat, and killing him is enough for us to eat several times!"

"Shut up, you fool! Don't forget that the stinky elves are still chasing us, and that person is the best bargaining chip in our hands!"

From their quarrel, Legolas finally learned that the last Long Laker was still alive, so he was relieved, but he quickly focused on aiming the arrow, and at the same time nodded slightly to his companion lying on the tree trunk next to him.

Three sharp arrows swished out at the same time, and shot through the throats of the two orcs before they even realized it.This time they chose to kill with one arrow because they had wasted a lot of time in interrogating the other two orcs two days ago. Finally, Legolas' vigilance made him realize that the orcs pointed to the completely opposite wrong path. Deiman kicked the corpse hard after finishing them.

A light figure jumped down from the tree, and the three walked to the dead orc to check for clues.While Legolas was leaning over to watch carefully, Emman and Paian quarreled, because their arrows hit one of the orcs at the same time, and it was difficult to prove who killed him.

"According to me, this should be mine, you know I've always shot arrows faster than you, Eman!"

"Nonsense! Look at how biased your shot is. If it weren't for my arrow, this guy would definitely not die!"

Legolas turned his head, stopped their quarrel with a raised hand, and showed them what he had found.

"This kind of weeds are not found everywhere," Legolas spread his palms, "Maybe they are not far from us.

"Finally there is a clue!" Eman patted his leg excitedly, "Damn it, I haven't slept well for three days!"

"You at least rested with your eyes open for a while, I am always on the alert." Restraining the strong urge to yawn, Legolas stood up, "But the trumpet of victory will finally blow It rang."

They only took a quick bite of Lambas, drank a few mouthfuls of stream water, and continued on their way, looking for clues in the forest again.
