"Such a grand spectacle..... has far exceeded my expectations."
About three kilometers away from the battlefield, there was a very hidden cave. The entrance of the cave was covered with vines. If one walked in and made a 90-degree turn, they would see a group of people sitting together. In front of them was a puddle of clear water that was about five to six square meters. However, the surface of the puddle of clear water was like a mirror, clearly reflecting the situation on the battlefield in the distant mountain ridge without missing a single detail.
The one who spoke was Sheyan. His brows were tightly furrowed. Sheyan had only just realized that he, who was hiding behind the scenes and plotting his strategy, had become a chess piece. However, he had still become a pawn in someone else's scheme and was being used!
Furthermore, the battle had progressed to such a state. Not only were the 8 Nazgûls gathered, there was also the Uruk-hai Lurtz. Such a level of battle.... honestly speaking, Sheyan was no longer capable of interfering with it with his current strength.
That battlefield was like a deep and powerful whirlpool. If one didn't have enough strength, not to mention entering it, just approaching it would cause one to be swallowed up and torn into pieces that were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye!
"Although it's regrettable to say this, I have indeed … lost control of this situation. I can't find any loopholes in this arrangement. " When Sheyan uttered those words, there was an intense bitterness in his tone. This was the first time he admitted that he had miscalculated.
Reef gazed at the sandbox like battlefield before him. After a long while, he spoke to Sheyan.
"The person who set up this trap is truly formidable and willing to part with it. The teleportation portals he used to teleport the other 7 Nazgûls were exchanged with achievement points. Furthermore, they can only be used once. Just those 7 teleportation portals alone cost over 100 achievement points! "
Sheyan asked in surprise.
"An item exchanged with achievement points can actually be used by storyline characters?"
Reef replied.
[This item can only appear in the exchange list after being promoted to the rank of General. Its name is the Point-to-Point Space Folding Technology Device. If a contestant uses it, it will immediately return to the Nightmare Realm from the Nightmare Realm. However, it will reduce all the basic attributes of the user, and all the items and rewards obtained in this world will be reset to zero,] Sheyan explained.
"But this item can also be used by storyline characters. It can form a very powerful one-time teleportation array that can instantly teleport them to a designated place. I've heard of a story before. In the plot of Terminator 1, the storyline character Thrace (the person who followed T1 here, John Connor's father) was originally destined to die, but a contestant used this item to immediately teleport the seriously injured Thrace to the hospital and successfully saved him with surgery. Therefore, I have a certain impression of this item. After seeing it, I immediately thought of it. "
Sheyan furrowed his brows and asked worriedly.
"Putting that aside, those guys are already able to gain the trust of the Nazgûls..................
Reef pondered a little before replying.
"Boss, I feel that you might be overthinking things. The nightmare realm is a crazy world, but it is also a world brimming with opportunities. Do you still remember our performance in the Avatar world? Similarly, it was your first time entering that cursed place. Yet the answer you presented was enough to make the ruler of that planet, alright, at least one of the rulers, Eywa, compromise. Let's talk about those guys over there. Can they gain the friendship of the Nazgûls? But the prerequisite is that the rotten brains of those creatures still have such a thing in them? "
Hearing Reef's words, Sheyan's eyes suddenly brightened. He was dazed for a moment before suddenly replying.
"You're right! My friend, befriending the Nazgûls and Uruk-hais is indeed a foolish idea. Perhaps …... my initial starting point was wrong. Those guys aren't invulnerable. Let us reconsider this problem! That is, cost accounting! "
"Cost accounting? I don't really understand. "Reef was baffled.
Sheyan pondered for a moment before replying.
"We can be more direct. Through the process, we can see the results. Alright, let's toss aside the damned process of their ambush. Instead, we can consider the cost of such a beautiful deed."
"First of all, they need to convince the Witch-King of Angmar. Apart from the Boss of the Nazgûl, no one else can command eight Nazgûls to gather together at the same time. Secondly, they spent eight point-to-point spatial folding devices. According to the data you provided, this is a huge fortune worth more than 100 achievement points. No contestant would do something that would incur a loss. Therefore, we can deduce that their gains are definitely several times greater than the price they paid.... Then, what are the sources of their gains? "
"Reputation. Killing those guys would undoubtedly cause their reputation to soar. Mission rewards. Extremely difficult missions could possibly involve killing the Elven leader of the Middle-earth alliance. Of course, there would also be spoils of war."
Reef confidently listed out the above examples.
Sheyan's breathing quickened.
"Yes, you're right. Spoils of war.... I know what their motive is! The ambition of the contestants we're facing is unimaginable!! Their ultimate goal, must be to dip their fingers into the formidable 3 Elven Rings! "
"The 3 Elven Rings are treasures forged together with the One Ring. They are the blessings bestowed by the gods to the elves. Currently, the Ring of Fire is in Gandalf's possession, the Ring of Air is in Elrond's possession, and the Ring of Water is in Galadriel's possession! If they succeed in their attack this time, they'll be able to obtain two Divine Weapons on the same level as the Supreme Devil Ring! "
Reef sucked in a breath of cold air.
"They, they actually conspired so greatly? This is truly inconceivable. Even if they kill Elrond and Galadriel, the 8 Nazgûls would absolutely not allow them to obtain 2 divine equipments of the rings! "
Sheyan confidently replied.
"Then the final parting between those guys and the Nazgûls is inevitable!! That will be our opportunity! "
At this point, Sheyan took a deep breath and said, "That's right.
"My judgement can't be wrong. Reef, this story sounds ridiculous, but think about it carefully. If you had this opportunity, what would you choose?"
Reef hesitated a little, then shook his head with a wry smile.
"I would also conspire for those two divine equipments."
At this moment, Sheyan straightened his body and pressed his hands to the ground. He carefully observed the battlefield through the magic mirror. The confidence in his eyes gradually recovered and became stronger.
"In this battle, we still have a chance. We still have plenty of opportunities to fish in troubled waters!"
At this moment, Reef sighed unconfidently and replied.
"Boss, but with our current strength, to participate in a battle of this level.... we are indeed too weak."
Sheyan sneered and replied.
"That's right. Perhaps both sides are like rocks, hard granite, while we are like eggs that will shatter no matter who we touch. However, these two pieces of granite will collide with each other! With the protection of 2 divine equipments, the elves won't be so easily defeated. When the scales of war reach a stalemate, a single egg may very well decide victory or defeat! "
*****
With the 8 Nazgûls joining forces and the terrifying archery skill of Lurtz eyeing them covetously, naturally, fleeing wasn't a good idea.
Facing such a situation, Galadriel unhesitatingly raised her left hand. On her left middle finger, a ring that resembled a morning star shone with a dazzling radiance. She had activated the defensive ability of her Ring of Water, Nanya.
Instantly, a layer of formless radiance appeared with her as the center, enveloping an area of tens of square meters. The radiance was gentle yet tenacious, and forcibly repelled the approaching Nazgûls! Naturally, the Nazgûls weren't willing to be pushed aside like this. They roared as they unsheathed their flaming greatswords and launched a ferocious assault.
Dark and sinister weapons smashed against the protective barrier of Nanya, instantly triggering ripples. Although the barrier appeared as sturdy as before, it signified that the attacks of the Nazgûls were equally effective. Sooner or later, the barrier would be breached.
Galadriel turned to look at the ashen faced Elrond, as she coldly uttered each word.
"Are you still concealing your strength? The Ring of Air is the strongest of the 3 elven rings. Let these filthy and sinister creatures experience the wrath of Sire Vilya. "
A mysterious expression surfaced on Elrond's face. He remained expressionless as he slowly shook his head and replied.
"I can't do it."
Galadriel choked for a moment, before laughing out in anger. But at this moment, Elrond had already unbuttoned his sleeping robe. Galadriel was speechless for a moment.
On the left side of Elrond's chest, there was an incomparably mournful wound. That wound was inflicted by a greatsword, deep and long. However, the edges of the wound were charred black, as though it had been completely carbonized by flames. Cracks could be seen on the charred black wound, as a pungent pus oozed out incessantly. As though it had a will of its own, it was trying its best to extend deeper into Elrond's body!
A speck of radiance flickered deep within Elrond's body. His injury had actually deteriorated to such a degree. He had to bury Sire Vilya deep within the wound, and borrow its divine might to prevent the injury from worsening!
Evidently, if Elrond dared to use Vilya, he would die!
