[Hobbit+HP] The truth of elves

Annis walked quickly through the woods, passing by all serious elf warriors.As he walked forward, the density of elves appeared increased.With firm steps, he paused slightly after seeing a golden tent, and then, with faster but heavier steps, Anis walked to the camp of the Elf King.

Before entering the tent, the smell of blood was already lingering, and Annis' expression became more tense.

Opening the tent door with the smallest margin and entering, Annis saw Lucius lying in the center of the tent at first sight.The therapist and Qi Lier were busy around him. Not far away, there was an elf king with arms crossed.

Noticing Anis' approach, Thranduy cast him a glance.

"Your Majesty, Lucius' injury has basically stabilized." The therapist finally stopped what he was doing, and when he stood up, he couldn't help but look tired, "He was seriously injured, so before he woke up, I It's also uncertain how long it will take him to fully recover. Fortunately, he is not poisoned. If poisoned..."

"Qi Lier will stay to take care of you, thank you for your hard work." The Elf King nodded to the therapist, and the wrinkles between his brows eased slightly, "He will notify you when he wakes up."

The therapist didn't say much, found a clean cloth to wipe his hands, turned and left.

Qi Lier seemed to sob twice, she gathered up the hemostatic cloth that had been thrown all over the ground beside the camp bed, and took it out the door.

"What's the situation?" The Elf King stared at Lucius for a few seconds, and the Elf King who didn't wait for the former to wake up said coldly.

"Including the half-orcs who attacked Lucius, the number of half-orcs we encountered tonight should be more than [-]. We found their temporary camp at the foot of the other end of the Misty Mountains, but it was empty However, judging from the traces of their activities, it is clear that Lucius' previous warning was correct. Their real number should be around [-]. It's just that for some unknown reason, this group of reinforcements fled ahead of time before supporting them. It's gone." On the outer edge of Annis' shoes, some mud and blood were still visible, which was the evidence of all the battles he had just experienced.Even though all the enemies were wiped out, and he, who protruded from the encirclement, joined in the later stage of the elimination non-stop, the results of Annis' battle did not relieve his guilt at all. "However, all the orcs who escaped have been caught up, and several leading captives are on their way to be escorted. The rest have been dealt with."

Thranduil nodded with his chin tensed, knowing that everything was going well but couldn't relax. "Those are not the point, give me a reason for the orcs to appear!"

"They are deserters from the Battle of the Five Armies. They have been hiding in the area south of the Mirkwood Mountains before, so they escaped our daily patrols. But when they tried to escape to the southerly area, they were blocked by a large number of spiders. Not long ago Because of the expansion of the spider activity area, they came to the north of the mountain range. Because of the lack of food, they targeted us, two days ago."

"You were followed two days ago, and you didn't notice anything until you were surrounded?" The light ending of the sentence seemed to express true disbelief. Only Annis, who was facing the sentence directly, knew that the elf king was already angry.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty..."

"The reason you were sent to protect is to avoid external attacks that the children cannot resist. In order to ensure the safety of the road, the cleaning in the past month has left such a big hidden danger. What about Ephron?"

"He is in charge of escorting the captives back, and he is still on the way." Annis responded boldly.

Thranduil's five fingers were nodding rhythmically on his elbow, and his eyes turned to Lucius' position.Seeing that the focus of the conflict shifted from himself, Annis couldn't relax.

Following the Elven King's line of sight, Annis finally saw clearly the condition of the wounded man in the middle of the camp.

The wound was on the left shoulder, now wrapped in a thick bandage.Even in a coma, Lucius' expression was always pained.

Because he changed his clothes, Lucius' body was still clean except for the blood that smeared when he applied the medicine to stop the bleeding just now.However, Thranduil, who was standing aside, was shocking.From the waist down, bright red blood stained a large area of ​​the Elven King's robe.Thranduy just supported Lucius before the therapist arrived, and that was all. Lucius' injury can be imagined.

Although the elves are the final winners, they cannot rewrite the price paid by the elves.Because of Lucius' proper strategy, more than 100 elves finally managed to break out of the siege of 27 and a half orcs.But the elves finally paid as many as 59 lives, and one of them was one of the [-] young elves.

Compared with the number of sacrifices, the proportion of injured elves is almost [-]%.

At the beginning of the stalemate at the entrance of the stone cave, it was the fighting elves who were bearing the pressure.Although they did not sacrifice under the rotation, most of these battle elves had already accumulated a certain amount of fatigue and scars when they broke through.And these accumulated disadvantages led to their failure to support to the end in the final breakout process.

And the sacrificed young elf didn't fall on the way to break through, but after joining the reinforcements.Because there is not enough toxin resistance, the injury and the toxin broke out together.

When the legions charged in the Battle of the Five Armies, only the arrows of the orcs were poisoned.But in this dense forest battle, their attacks were all poisoned.

As the most seriously injured among the wounded, the healer was greatly relieved that Lucius was not poisoned.Compared with the underage elves, Lucius' physical fitness is obviously worse.

"You should still remember the reason why I asked you to follow the collection team..." The Elf King said, "Is this the result you showed me?"

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, you asked me to protect Lucius, but I failed." Annis silently clenched her fists, looking at Lucius with guilt.

"Why didn't you follow him?"

The sharp eyes of the Elven King made Annis even more guilty: "Lucius will leave the camp from the first night to pick plants that can be used as medicinal materials in the forest. We have been following him, but he has found him every time. Because he couldn't let him know that we came out to protect him specially, so he was driven back to the camp. So..."

"So you let an elf who can't even pass the basic training that a 20-year-old elf needs to complete, and another underage elf who has no combat effectiveness to face the attack of the orcs alone? Is this what you protect?"

Thranduil's questioning voice suddenly became quieter, and it seemed that the wind and waves were slowing down, but it produced a chill that could not be matched by any force.

Annis seemed to be frozen in place, shivering, unable to cope.

"From now on, as long as Lucius leaves the range of the kingdom, you will have to follow him to protect him. If this happens again, please invite yourself to go to the upstream station to change defense for 100 years!" Thranduy turned to Anis, his gaze was like a torch , "Since this incident was caused by spiders, let Ephron be responsible for cleaning up the spiders. When will the north of the old forest road be cleaned up, and when will we go back."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Thranduil didn't speak, and Annis didn't dare to leave.After a while of silence, the Elven King's tone finally eased when he spoke again: "So, have you found the place where Lucius and Luane were attacked?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. We found the corpses of seven half-orcs. The traces of battle are very obvious. The trunks exploded and fell, and there were traces of fire. Because Lucius left the camp in the north direction, so in the half-orc The orcs broke out of the encirclement before the siege was completed. According to the confession of the captives, the half-orcs who found them were sent by the commander to find the fish that slipped through the net, because the reconnaissance of the orcs discovered their departure. Two against seven, Lucius should It was after a difficult victory that he turned around and discovered that the camp was under siege, so he sent a message for help. But..." Annis hesitated for a moment.

"But what?"

"I just checked with Lucius about the circumstances of their attack. He said that the half-orcs they encountered were twelve, not seven, and five half-orcs who were shot by Lucius... disappeared... …Luansh said that it was like broken pottery, broken…” Annis’s description became uncertain because of this abnormal description, “I checked repeatedly, and Luansh was sure that he read it correctly. Because Surprisingly, he remembered it clearly. And his description almost completely matched the traces left at the scene."

Thranduil's eyebrows tightened again because of Annis' report: "Aside from you and Luanesh, who else knows these things?"

"When I found something wrong, I told him never to leak it. If anyone asked him, he would always answer that he didn't remember. I only know that I defeated the two half-orcs very hard. You can rest assured about this, Lu Anshi also I am very vigilant, and have not mentioned this matter to any elves yet." Annis immediately nodded his assurance, clarifying the effective intervention he made, "But if what he said is true, Lucius is equivalent to solving ten orcs by himself. ,this……"

"You don't need to worry about this matter anymore." The Elf King waved his hand, "Let those captives lead the way and find their lair. Clear away all traces of their activities."

"After the removal, will the prisoners still be tortured?"

The Elf King snorted coldly: "Kill it, you don't need to take it back."
