Warhammer 40: The Wandering Merchant

Chapter 16 The Pursuit, Avalanche



Chapter 16 The Pursuit, Avalanche

Legolas was the fastest, as an elf could walk on snow, so he always arrived ahead of the others in the shortest time, and then looked out at the Ringwraiths approaching in the sky.

The elf's excellent eyesight allowed him to calculate the optimal shooting distance from time to time.

Although I never saw Tulag use his strength, I heard Aragorn's explanations along the way.

Having witnessed what happened at the meeting in Rivendell, Legolas was confident that he and Thurag were enough to hold off the nine Ringwraiths.

If they had magical weapons, they could even kill all nine Ringwraiths outright.

whoosh-

Legolas stood on a rock and fired an arrow at the Ringwraiths who had already revealed themselves.

The arrow whistled through the air.

Hearing the sound, the Ringwraiths that were charging towards them hurriedly pulled on their reins to scare the hellhounds away.

As his arrow whizzed past the Ringwraiths, Legolas immediately roared, "Run!"

As he spoke, he pulled out several more arrows from the backpack on his back!

Draw the bow and shoot the arrow; the bowstring twangs!

Upon seeing this, Tie Hui also took out an M36 laser rifle directly from the dimensional space.

Wear the shoulder straps to prevent it from falling off!

"what……"

A howl erupted!

Iron Glory raised his gun, aimed, and pulled the trigger, the red laser shooting towards the Ringwraiths that had already begun their dive.

Legolas quickly provides support from the sidelines!

One elven arrow after another slashed through the air!

Upon seeing this, the Ringwraith at the front suddenly pulled on the reins.

The hell eagle straightened its entire body upwards!

Arrows and lasers struck him instantly, especially the lasers, which pierced through his body, leaving a charred hole that was smoking.

[Energy*20]

Whoops!

Tie Hui was astonished to receive 20 units of energy at once, never expecting that a Hellhawk could provide so much energy.

His gaze immediately turned greedily to the Ringwraiths who were rapidly diving down while simultaneously dodging attacks.

The Ringwraith whose mount was killed first howled as it plummeted to the ground.

It crashed directly onto the snow, creating a large, bloody crater.

Tie Hui ignored all of that and instead raised his gun again, aiming and frantically pulling the trigger.

Even Legolas was somewhat surprised by the extremely fast attack frequency.

He had only ever seen such destructive power and attack frequency in history books that recorded the War of Wrath.

Upon seeing this, Legolas immediately began to cooperate, blocking the Nazgûl's escape routes.

He even used his precise archery skills to specifically target the wings of these hell eagles.

This will cause it severe pain, causing it to remain suspended in the air for half a second.

For Tie Hui, that half second was enough!

In just over ten seconds, Tie Hui coordinated with Legolas.

Then they shot down three more hell eagles!

The system in Tie Hui's mind beeped three more times, adding 60 points to his account.

Including the first one, he made 80 points in this round.

The remaining Ringwraiths howled helplessly at the sight.

At the same time, it accelerated away from this dangerous airspace.

But it just wouldn't leave, instead circling and hovering around.

They even used their aerial advantage to occasionally fire a stray arrow!

But Legolas blocked them all with his bow and arrows!

At this moment, the danger to everyone was greatly reduced!

Everyone was watching the two of them, their eyes flashing with excitement.

Among them, Polomir stared in shock at the weapon in Tie Hui's hand.

That feeling of greed instantly overwhelmed me.

If we could obtain this weapon and then replicate it!

What are Mordor and Sauron the Dark Lord anyway?

It wouldn't be impossible for him to even rule over the entire Middle-earth!

At that time, the entire human race will prosper under his leadership.

It wouldn't be impossible for him to become the new human emperor!

"Hurry up!" Gandalf shouted to the two.

Legolas and Ironhide watched the Ringwraiths still circling high in the sky warily, then followed the others, moving quickly down the mountain.

The Ringwraiths high in the sky howled in terror at the sight.

They were clearly furious!

The remaining Ringwraiths exchanged glances, then simultaneously looked towards the thick snow piled up on the mountain peak.

"Ahhhhh—"

Immediately afterwards, a piercing howl resounded throughout the entire mountain peak, and the shockwaves caused by the enormous noise made even the small animals in the ground at the foot of the mountain kneel down in pain.

Hearing the piercing noise, the team members couldn't help but cover their ears, their faces showing pain.

Although there was no bewitching witchcraft in the sound, the harsh scraping sound was truly chilling.

Gandalf frowned as he looked at the Ringwraiths still howling high in the sky.

For a moment I was a little confused, what were these guys up to?

Tie Hui just wanted to stuff a cotton swab all over his ears as he looked at the Ringwraiths still howling in the sky.

Then he looked at the snow fragments on the mountaintop that were vibrating under the high volume of the sound, and instantly realized what these guys were up to!

"They're going to cause an avalanche, run!" Tie Hui shouted, and without waiting for them to hear him, he put away his laser rifle and ran quickly down the snow-capped mountain, disregarding the danger.

The others only felt a buzzing and itchy sensation in their ears and didn't hear what Tie Hui had just shouted at all.

But seeing their panicked expressions and haphazard movements, they all realized something was wrong.

Aragon, who had traveled all over the world, was the first to react!

He picked up Frodo and jumped, sliding down the snow towards the mountain.

At this point, danger was no longer a concern!

The others only realized what was happening then and hurriedly followed!

The other three hobbits had never experienced anything like this before, but seeing everyone's actions and expressions, they all started to imitate them!

Boom—

But before the group had been gliding for more than a few seconds, a thunderclap suddenly came from the mountaintop.

Boromir turned around in horror and saw that the once pristine white snow surface had suddenly developed cracks.

Like cutting tofu with a knife, it formed one area after another.

These huge blocks of white snow began to slowly slide down, and the cracks grew larger and larger.

An avalanche is coming!

Boromir immediately turned to the crowd and shouted vehemently, "Avalanche..."

Rumbling--

No sooner had he finished speaking than an even more violent rumbling sound came.

At the same time, everyone felt the shaking beneath them!

Meanwhile, an avalanche had already begun on the mountaintop.

Vast amounts of snow formed a white torrent, carrying snow chunks and pebbles, rushing down the mountainside.

And in their path of swarming were the members of the Fellowship of the Ring!

Tie Hui glided at the very front of the group, occasionally swaying his body to avoid the stones on the gliding path.

He listened to the noises coming from behind him and felt the swaying beneath him.

His face turned green!

If he had known the butterfly effect would lead to this outcome, he would have made sure Gandalf came with them to the Moria Mines, even if it meant tying him up.
