Sword and Magic and Taxi

The other star elves were idle in Rivendell. The two of us felt bored and went out for a walk, so we joined Lord Elrond's army and fought in the high passes of the Misty Mountains. The corners of Zeratul's mouth raised slightly. Qiao, obviously very proud of his experience. We opened the passage to the Dark Forest, and then the three elves united to wipe out the evil forces entrenched in Dol Guldur.

The evil force couldn't be you, Saruman. Zhao Mai asked.

Humph, the strange words you said have no effect on me, 'Thousand Faces' Tweldo. Saruman said: The elves can only take back Dol Guldur with my help. The only one in the world that can open The key to the secret passage there is in my hand. Those orcs will only tear down the city gates to get in and out, which is inefficient at all.

Besides the Tower of Orthanc, do you also have the key to Dol Guldur? Tell me, do you have any idle real estate? If you hold it in your hands, it will only be slowly abandoned. Why don't you share it and liquidate it?

Showing off, Tverdor, you are in danger now. Saruman said: You need to stop and cannot continue to approach Mount Doom.

Did Zoro ask you to come? Zhao Mai's smile disappeared and his face became very ugly. Saruman shook his head and said slowly: Aragorn asked me to come. He has successfully ascended the throne in Gondor, Boromir is the new prime minister, and the coalition forces of Gondor and Rohan are attacking the Black Gate. I believe it will be soon. The victory will be achieved soon. The holy sword Nasir has been reforged, and Sauron's end is approaching.

Yes, but this has nothing to do with me, and it is not a reason for me to stop advancing. He will fight his, and I will fight mine. If I hadn't continued to advance here, could the coalition attack Heimen? I would drag it down with my own strength. There are 300,000 troops inhabited, and one-third of them have been wiped out. How many are left at the Black Gate? Can there be 50,000?

This is not a matter of quantity, but to ensure victory. Sauron's power is still very strong, only the Holy Sword of the Human Emperor...

Shut up, Saruman, I have two reasons why I will never stop. Zhao Mai said: First, Frodo is in poor health, and the Supreme Lord of the Rings has been corroding him. I can't delay Go down and wait for someone, I don’t want to see Frodo turn into a Nazgul. In my opinion, no one can ask him to make such a big sacrifice. If you think I am too fast, then try to catch up!

Zhao Mai poked Saruman's staff with his finger, and then said: As for Sauron's power you mentioned, I can't see any new methods he has. I have killed eight of the nine ring spirits. , so what if they come together? If Sauron has a way, then he should use it to deal with me now instead of helplessly roaring on the evil black tower. Put away the you are in danger of disaster, I will give you some advice 'Routine! If you were really clear-headed, you wouldn't have taken refuge with Sauron in the first place.

Saruman stared at Zhao Mai and said slowly: You really haven't changed at all. You always think you are right. He flicked his sleeves and looked like he didn't want to waste any more words with Zhao Mai.

Zhao Mai snorted, suddenly leaned forward, covered the side of his mouth with his hand, and quietly said to Thrandis: You brought this old man here just to stop me from marching, right?

The star elf girl was startled and shrank back before shaking her head: No. We elves also sent elites and humans to form a coalition, hoping to recreate the grandeur of the alliance back then. However, facing the tightly defended Black Gate, we failed. There is no way to start. We came here hoping to find you and ask you to disrupt Mordor internally and relieve some of the pressure on the Black Gate. We really didn’t expect you to be able to fight so vigorously here.

That's right! Zhao Mai said with a smile: The advantage on the battlefield has been established. Although it will take some time to completely wipe out the enemy, the current advantage is enough for me to advance to Mount Doom. Saruman, this battle In the end, we still have to look at Mount Doom to see whether the Supreme Lord of the Rings is destroyed. The Human Emperor? Aragorn is a good person, but the Human Emperor has failed before, and no one can guarantee that Aragorn will succeed this time.

If you are so confident, that is the beginning of trouble. Saruman said: However, destroying the Ring is indeed important.

Yes, you have finally made progress at this point, at least you are no longer so eager to have the Lord of the Rings. Zhao Mai put on a smile. I won't wait for the coalition forces to slowly come over, that would be too slow. The order to attack has been given, and my bugs will keep the orcs out of Mount Doom. You know, my hydralisks have finally arrived. .”

What is a hydralisk? Zeratul asked, his eyes widening.

This question is not suitable to explain to you. Really, don't ask why... Zhao Mai hummed twice and said perfunctorily.

Although it is called a Hydralisk, it is actually a specially modified version of the Transporter Bug. After brainstorming, Gardener Long thought that it would be a waste to design a Z-worm that could stab at melee and shoot at long range, and it would also be troublesome to obtain enough ammunition for launch. Therefore, they reduced the size of the refining room and focused on producing and processing bone spurs that could be fired without considering the waste of resources. Of course, depending on the surrounding soil, there may be stone thorns or even glass thorns.

The transporter worm has become a hydralisk that integrates mining, production, storage and launch. The long snake tail trailing behind is the ammunition chain and magazine that stores the launch thorn. The transport bug uses two methods of muscle elastic potential energy (crossbow) and gas compression (air gun) to alternately fire. The rate of fire and range are not as good as bullets using propellant, but the process of starting from scratch has been solved.

Using local materials, launching them locally, and relying on their hard carapace, they will not be injured even if they are hit directly by engineering weapons. They are simply mobile bunkers, most suitable for establishing a solid defensive front. In positional warfare, when the springtails crouch down, they will be surrounded by a forest of guns and barbed wire with active defense capabilities. Sauron's orcs, wielding cold weapons such as machetes and axes, rushed into the battlefield in machine gun trench mode. They were still the kind of living front that was not afraid of life and ammunition consumption.

It only took one afternoon for the Z-worm to achieve complete control over the orc army. Zhao Mai assessed the situation on the battlefield and believed that the time had come. Frodo and Sam had eaten and drank enough, and their strength had recovered. It was time to face the final test.

The transporter carrying the halfling began to move forward, aiming directly at Mount Doom. Zhao Mai continued to use the Insect Heart Ring to protect them. The closer he got to Mount Doom, the worse Frodo's condition became, always nodding his head and switching back and forth between awake and comatose. Sam held him carefully, resting his head on his shoulder. It's almost there, Frodo, we're almost there.

Yes, it's coming. Zhao Mai looked at the Evil Black Tower and Sauron. The red light of the Flame Demonic Eye flashed twice and then disappeared. At the same time, a group of shadows exploded in front of Zhao Mai.

It happens a little outside the realm of the Insect Heart Ring, and it seems that the location has been calculated. The tumbling shadows gradually converged and turned into a person.
