Chapter 144: Jungle Outpost

After a brief rest, both Xu Feng and Iron Hammer recovered a lot.

Xu Feng studied the parchment map and said in a deep voice: "It stands to reason that the ogre's camp should be in the upper reaches of this dark river, and this is already the ogre's territory, but we haven't seen a single ogre. ”

Hammer shrugged, "That's not good?" If there were no ogres here, we would have been able to go back and pack up the four. ”

Xu Feng shook his head slightly, "I'm afraid it's not that simple - the plot world has reached this level, and it is no longer like the plot shown in the movie, but more like a real world." In the past, the plot we experienced could still follow the general direction of the plot, but now in the plot world, everything is random, everything is changing, and we have to be extremely careful. ”

Iron Hammer smiled: "Such a brain-consuming thing, Lao Tzu won't think about it, anyway, you are here." ”

Xu Feng sighed helplessly, "You." ”

Hammer grinned, "Then are we going to go upstream now?" ”

Xu Feng put away the parchment map, "It's all here, of course I want to take a look." ”

He always had a concern in his mind, and he had to see the ogre camp with his own eyes before he could be sure if his worry would happen.

The two of them made their way upstream along the quiet dark river.

On the way, he encountered a group of fish-man monsters, these fish-men ran very fast, and in groups, one of them would inevitably summon their companions when attacked.

Fortunately, Xu Feng and Iron Hammer cooperate very well, and both of them are powerful output-type survivors, so it takes less than two or three moves to kill a fishman in seconds.

After killing a few waves of fishmen like this, Xu Feng saw billowing black smoke not far away.

The place of black smoke is a cave, and outside the cave, there is a fortress-level structure under construction.

Xu Feng's heart sank.

What he was worried about was going to happen nine times out of ten.

Ogres like to live in damp caves, and ogres are lazy creatures, they don't build military-grade outposts, let alone assemble into an army.

There are only two forces that can assemble an army in a place like the Dark Forest.

One of them is the Elven Kingdom of the Dark Forest of King Thrandil, which was originally the territory of these agile elves, who came and went freely here.

The second is the half-orcs led by the orc leader Asog.

Asog's headquarters is in the dangerous Misty Mountains, which are bordered by dark forests.

Normally, orcs would not build a military-grade outpost in the heart of the dense forest so far away, but considering that there had been orc scouts who had gone deep into the area beyond the Shire before, Xu Feng had reason to suspect that the orc forces were ready to move.

In that case, you're in big trouble!

This position is really a blind spot in the league!

Now it seems that Canyon Town is only attacked by four ogres, but the real danger is not the ogre, but the orcs who drove the ogres out of their lair and established a military outpost!

The location of this outpost is extremely hidden, once it is formed, the orc force can go straight to the kingdom of Arnor in the north, and can break through the gate of Canyon Town in an instant, and then it only takes half a day to break through the military fortress of Nenhahn!

The military fortress of Nenhaan is the last military barrier in the capital of Arno!

Once Ne Hahn is breached, then the capital of Arno will face the crazy bloodbath of the orcs!

Even if the orc army doesn't plan to destroy the kingdom of Arnor, they can still attack the kingdom of Rohan and the kingdom of Gondor to the south!

Even if they don't attack the kingdoms of Rohan and Gondor, the orcs can turn around and attack the elven territory of King Thranduil of King Elrond!

Xu Feng gasped, and his back was covered in cold sweat!

Luckily, I insisted on coming and checking it out!

Otherwise......

The consequences are really unimaginable.

Iron Hammer whispered on the side: "Xu Feng, I smell the smell of coking coal in the air, although it is far away, but with my years of forging experience, there is absolutely no mistake - there is a blacksmith shop in that camp, and they are making weapons." I'm a little confused, I remember that ogres are very lazy, they are actually building weapons? ”

Xu Feng said in a deep voice: "Obviously, that camp is no longer the camp of the ogre, but the camp of the orcs. ”

Hammer said in surprise, "Orcs? Orcs actually built a outpost stronghold here? This ......"

Xu Feng said in a deep voice: "This trick is really clever, although it is quite difficult to build a post, but as long as the scale is formed, Asog's large army can ambush here, and then when necessary, launch a deadly attack on the alliance countries." ”

Iron Hammer hurriedly said: "No! We need to get the news to Gandalf and tell him to go to the White Council as soon as possible and convene a meeting of the Alliance! ”

Xu Feng said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the matter has not yet reached the point of no return, according to what the mayor of Canyon Town Klan said, those four ogres attacked Canyon Town five days ago, and from this end of the canyon, it will take at least two days to go to Canyon Town, which means that these orc forward scouts only came here a week ago and robbed the territory where the ogres lived." Orcs have the advantage of fighting and plundering, and construction is not their strong point, and they may not be able to form a scale after a week's fortifications. ”

Iron Hammer looked at the black smoke floating above the dark forest, and nodded slightly, "So, the large army of orcs hasn't arrived yet, and there is only a group of scouts here. ”

Xu Feng analyzed: "This should be a military stronghold, the scouts here are sent out to reconnoiter every area, the two orc scouts we met in the brandy mountains outside the Shire region before should be from here, they did not go through the villages and towns, but through the dark jungle, directly to the brandy mountains." I estimate that there should be hundreds of such scouts in this outpost, but most of them should have been sent out, and the scouts in the outpost who take turns to rest, plus the work, are only a dozen or so at most. ”

Iron Hammer's eyes lit up, "If it's a hundred, we have no chance of winning at all, but if we fight ten, we should have a good chance!" So, Xu Feng, are you trying to destroy this outpost? ”。

Xu Feng nodded slightly, "That's right, this outpost is Asorg's brainchild, after destroying this outpost, Asog knows that we have already guarded against him, and he won't dare to risk huge losses to build such a post in the hinterland of the dense forest." ”

"I don't have that many ideas, as long as I can do them!" Hammer said happily, "I'm so happy to be with you." ”
