Warhammer 40: The Wandering Merchant

Upon seeing this, the tall, orcish figure behind them roared in anger.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of emaciated orcs surrounded Tie Hui, using both legs and feet.

Upon seeing this, Tie Hui felt a sudden panic.

He's never experienced close combat!

Moreover, he only had a small, broken dagger in his hand, and he glanced at the "Tetanus Blade" in the hands of the group of orcs who surrounded him.

Tie Hui immediately pulled out a fragmentation grenade from his dimensional space.

To avoid being hit by a fragmentation grenade, Tie Hui turned around and tried to create distance.

But to the Orcs and Aragorn, this was seen as an escape.

Aragorn and the elves were speechless!

"Grab him!" Among the many orcs who surrounded him, the last few pulled out their tattered bows and aimed at the area where Tie Hui was.

Tie Hui had his back to the orcs and didn't notice the orcs at the far rear who were nocking their bows and aiming their arrows.

Whoosh...

Just as the orcs were about to let go, several elven arrows pierced through the air and instantly pierced their necks.

Blood splattered, and the arrows in their hands lost their power, flying out crookedly.

There was absolutely no chance of hitting Tie Hui with a single shot.

Then came the sound of more arrows piercing the air, whistling as they shot towards the group of orcs chasing Tie Hui.

Screams and wails filled the air.

Tie Hui turned around upon hearing the sound and saw that most of the orcs chasing him had been shot dead.

Tie Hui felt the fragmentation grenade in his hand and immediately put it back into the dimensional space.

The less you reveal your hand, the less you have to reveal it!

Immediately afterwards, he raised his laser pistol and began firing, while moving towards where Aragon and his group were.

"Hurry, hurry!" Aragorn shouted as he pierced the head of an orc with his sword and looked at Ironbey who was rushing over.

Everything was going well, but who would have thought that a strange wandering swordsman would appear here?

The person was using a small device that emitted a red light, and even someone as knowledgeable as him sensed the danger of death.

Ironbeak suddenly leaped up and landed steadily between Aragorn and the others.

Immediately afterwards, everyone started running towards the outside of the valley!

Aragorn, true to his role as the King of Men, volunteered to stay behind.

He used his archery skills, which he had learned from living among the elves since childhood, to cover the rear.

The orcs that caught up with them were killed one by one with an arrow.

Even as they approached the valley's exit, he raised his longbow, slightly pulled back the bowstring, and aimed at the enraged orc leader behind him.

The moment he released his grip, the bowstring hummed, and the arrow pierced the orc leader's chest.

Aragorn's controlled force did not penetrate the orc leader in one go, but the pain it brought was extremely intense, causing the orc leader to howl in agony.

The orc leader immediately brandished his wooden spiked club and charged towards them, howling.

Having achieved his goal of luring them away, Aragorn turned and charged straight out of the valley, shouting, "Let's go!"

Tie Hui glanced back at the crowd and saw that the many orcs following closely behind him were already furious.

"put!"

Just as the group was a few meters away from the valley entrance, dozens of elves and humans wielding bows and arrows suddenly sprang out from the gravel, grass, and woods on both sides of the valley ahead.

The next second, a buzzing sound echoed throughout the valley, and arrows shot towards the orcs chasing behind.

One volley of fire instantly killed or wounded more than half of the pursuing orcs, and less than two seconds later, another volley of bowstrings rang out.

Aragorn and the other elves abandoned their escape. Aragorn picked up his longbow, drew the string, and aimed at the bewildered orc leader behind him.

Let go!

An arrow struck him squarely in the head!

His obese body stiffened instantly, and his eyes began to roll back.

The next second, he knelt down on the ground and fell forward.

Aragorn then drew his sword and looked at the group of orcs who were beginning to scatter because their leader had been killed.

"Kill!" Aragorn shouted, drawing his sword and leading the charge.

The elves behind them followed closely, and the group of elves and humans who had just been lying in ambush abandoned their bows and arrows and drew their longswords to join the charge.

The whole process took less than ten seconds. Tie Hui, who had only ever seen such battle scenes in novels and movies, was now experiencing a surge of adrenaline.

Tie Hui, holding a laser pistol and a combat dagger, wanted to rush up with the crowd, but as soon as he took a step, he spotted the short combat dagger.

Although Tie Hui had practiced some self-defense techniques, he glanced at the longswords held by the elves and humans around him, and then looked again at his own short combat dagger.

He obediently slowed his pace, occasionally raising his laser gun to pick off targets.

Hearing the system's kill notifications, Tie Hui felt for the first time that sniping from the rear was a good option.

The orcs' fate is sealed!

All the humans and elves began to hunt down the scattered orcs.

After all, in this era, if any orc is overlooked, they can seek refuge with or regroup with other orc groups, which would cause enormous harm to the surrounding villages.

With Aragorn slicing off the last orc's head, the battle finally came to an end.

The group began cleaning up the battlefield and collecting their weapons.

The injured were being bandaged up; thankfully, no one died!

Aragon was panting heavily when he looked back at Ironhide, who was sitting on the stone wall drinking water.

Tie Hui also noticed Aragorn's gaze and looked over; their eyes met.

Both of their eyes were filled with wariness and curiosity!

"Where did you come from?" Aragorn asked bluntly.

Ironfelter performed a noble etiquette that seemed very unfamiliar and strange to Aragon.

"My name is Tulag, and I come from the far east, from Ruen, which is even farther than the Iron Hills!" Tie Hui lied without batting an eye.

He had intended to say that he was also a ranger from Middle-earth, but then he remembered the laser pistol he had just used.

I can only make up an unfamiliar origin story!

Although his knowledge of the Lord of the Rings was limited to the movies, he had seen the map.

Aragorn nodded without replying, but his eyes showed even greater wariness.

The East is no good place, even further east than the Iron Hills...

Moreover, judging from his attire and the strange weapon he just used, it's hard to guarantee that this guy isn't a henchman of the dark forces.

But Aragorn did not sense the evil that belonged to the forces of darkness in him.

"Thank you for your help!" Aragorn nodded in thanks, then changed the subject: "How did you get here?"

"My tribe was destroyed, and I was left to wander aimlessly! But the elders of our tribe told me that if I went west, there would be a vibrant Middle-earth. So, I slowly wandered here! After replenishing my supplies in Lake-town, I discovered the enemies who destroyed my tribe—orcs! I followed them and harassed them along the way. Through the villages along the way and the accounts of some merchants, I slowly arrived here!" Tie Hui didn't know how to make up a story at first, but as he got more and more into it, he just made up a big story.
