[Lord of the Rings] Green Leaf's Blessing

Those half-orcs sensed that the elves were chasing them, so they carefully covered up the traces they left behind. Although Legolas had never set foot in this distant land, he was more familiar with everything in the forest than they were. Coupled with the plant he found on the dead orc earlier, he found the general direction without much effort.

As they went forward, the trees became sparser, until finally there was only an open blue sky in front of them-all the clues led them to a cliff.

"Vala, did those guys jump off the cliff together?" Eman said as he walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down. Peaen followed closely behind him, but Legolas lowered his head to pay attention to the traces on the ground—everything It seemed normal, but there was a shallow trace on the mud not far from him, which was a footprint, and the direction was opposite.

Legolas immediately raised his bow and turned his head, and happened to meet a black-feathered arrow that was coming towards him. He pulled the bow and turned around lightly, dodging the attack, and turned towards the arrow that was too late to hide. The ugly figure in the bushes shot an arrow - and the orc immediately screamed.

Aiman ​​and Paian turned their heads when they heard the noise, and this pursuit of hiding and hiding finally ushered in a head-on confrontation: six orcs came out of the woods, glaring fiercely at the elves with dark gray eyes, and One of them, particularly tall, seemed to be their leader, and with one hand he held a monstrous mace, and with the other he took the poor Long Laker by the neck, and dragged him toward them.

"So it's just three young elves chasing us," the Orc leader said in a voice like thunder in the rain. "Where are your beautiful companions, huh? You three want to win us? Not now Do trees provide you with convenience?"

Legolas had to partially agree with his words. If it was in a dense forest, the elves would certainly have the advantage, but in close combat on open ground, strength was often more important than agility, and bows and arrows were not as effective as swords.But for some reason, holding the yew bow given by his father made him feel calm and at ease. Even at this moment, the young and inexperienced elf still didn't panic.

"You want to save this poor man, don't you?" The half-orc leader met the anger in Legolas' eyes with a sarcastic smile, "I'll kill him right now in front of you, and then I'll kill you, tonight we It's time for a good meal, brothers."

He raised the huge mace, but Legolas was faster than him—just as the sharp mallet was about to smash the head of the long Laker, the golden feather arrow in his hand was released, hitting the The leader of the half-orcs held the arm of the mace, and when he let go of his hands in pain to pull out the arrow, he rushed to the crowd of half-orcs like a gust of wind, and pulled up the Long Lake man who was paralyzed from fright.The tacit understanding formed over a long period of time made Aiman ​​and Paian react quickly, and they drew their longbows and released arrows to cooperate with him.But after all, this is different from fighting in the forest. Those hideous ugly guys are much more flexible than they look on the outside. In open close combat, it is easier for them to see where the arrows are coming from and avoid them.The last six half-orcs only got a few arrows in their arms or legs, but these guys seemed to feel no pain. After quickly pulling out the arrows, they raised their sharp knives and roared towards the elves.

Eman and Paeon had dropped their great bows and drawn their swords to fight head on, but Legolas would not let go of his yew bow, and with his other hand he still held the long Laker, so now He could neither draw a sword nor shoot an arrow.However, even he himself couldn't explain the strange situation at this moment. The only weapon left in his hand was the gorgeous yew wood bow. Without the cooperation of arrows, it couldn't even be called a weapon, but it really played a role in his hands. With unrivaled strength, when he swung the bow, he felt it was as light as the wind, but when the bow hit the enemy, it tore their skin and toppled their bodies with force.

In the end, Legolas managed to protect the long Laker and escape to the side. He pushed him into the woods without any doubt, told him to leave quickly, and then returned to the battlefield and returned to his friend.

Legolas dodged a sudden attack and a boulder that was thrown at him, and ran forward while drawing his bow again-a half-orc screamed and fell, and the golden feather arrow just hit Cum on his chest.At the same time, Eman also swung his sword and chopped off the head of another orc.

"You can't fight me this time." Eman turned his head and said to Payain, but he was panting uncontrollably from the fierce fighting before. Before he could catch his breath, he lost two of his subordinates one after another. The enraged half-orc leader rushed towards him, and the sword in Eman's hand was knocked aside. He backed up again and again until he reached the edge of the cliff and there was no way out. The half-orc leader reached out and grabbed his neck.

"Now I've changed my mind. How about throwing you from here? Do you think your forest will save you?"

He first tightened his five fingers, and then slowly loosened them. Eman's body was shaking in the wind.

"I'll smash you to pieces first!"

A clear and powerful voice sounded, and then the half-orc leader only had time to see a yew wood bow coming out from one side and hit him in the stomach. When he let go, Legolas grabbed his friend in time, and used the power of the rotation to throw Eman away from the cliff.Legolas looked at the orc leader at his feet, and was about to draw an arrow to kill him, but he didn't expect that the other party suddenly grabbed his ankle and dragged him to the ground.

In the chaos, Legolas kept beating the ugly body that smelled of yew with his yew bow. He struggled to leave, but the orc leader grabbed his ankle and refused to let go. Finally, both sides struggled together. Under the action of force, both of them slid down.

"Legolas!" Eman and Payne rushed over at the same time, but before they approached, the dazzling blond hair had completely disappeared on the edge of the cliff.

But the half-orcs behind them were still entangled with them, and they had no time to cry and mourn, so they turned and threw themselves into the unfinished battle.

The orc leader screamed dully during the entire fall, and his heavy body also smashed into many rocks and rocks.He sank down, deep, deep, until Legolas could see no more.

The yew bow saved him again, it was firmly embedded between two protruding rocks, Legolas grabbed it with one hand, and leaned his whole body against the rock with the other hand as much as possible.Just as he was praying for Ayman and Paeon in his heart, he heard the familiar sound of a horn—reinforcements had finally arrived.

Not long after, there was an urgent sound of footsteps, and the dust that fell with the vibration showed that someone was coming towards the edge of the cliff.Legolas' arms were already numb, so he looked up gratefully.

For a moment he thought he had seen it wrong, but he blinked and brushed off the dust, and the face in front of him still didn't change at all.

"Ada!" After confirming that he was not dreaming, he exclaimed happily.Now that Ada has come to him, he no longer has to worry about it.

"Legolas, are you okay?" Fino's face appeared from Thranduil's back, "If you persist for a while, they will bring the rope right away. Fortunately, I came with you, just now If I hadn't held you Ada, he would have jumped straight away!"

And Thranduil didn't say a word, and when the rope was lowered and the guards pulled the prince up, he never spoke.The expression on his face was very strange, like the unpredictable calm after the war.

"Fino, have you seen the long Laker?" Legolas asked as soon as he stood firm.

"Well, it's very safe, and they are resting not far away. These Changhu people are really lucky, and His Royal Highness the Prince of the Great Green Forest tried his best to rescue them."

"That's because I promised Adar..." Legolas stood in front of his father with a proud smile on his face, "I promised Adar that I would become a qualified forest warrior and make him proud of me... ...I finally did it, Ada!"

With an instinctive whisper, the young elf gently fell into his father's arms, hugging that stalwart body with the hand holding the bow.He buried his face lightly on his father's shoulder. In the past, that little elf had had countless sweet dreams on this pillow.

"Ada, I..."

He muttered in his mouth, but his eyelashes drooped feebly.He was so tired that he hadn't slept for three whole days, but only here, in this embrace, could he have a completely relaxed sleep and sweet dreams.

Thranduil gently stroked the blond hair of his son who was sleeping peacefully in his arms, the emotions in his eyes were no longer complicated, only the purest love of a father for his son remained.
