One day ago...
"Your Highness, the old fortress of Dol Guldur is just ahead. We have already cleared out all the orcs along the way!" An elven ranger in chain mail shot out from the treetops and came to Iovia.
"Dol Guldur... Amon Lance was once the home of the Woodland Elves, the grassy hills... Alas! Damn Sauron!" A trace of tyranny flashed in Iowa's eyes as she rode on the unicorn. The Star Elves, who were also a branch of the elves, had once stained the Black Gate with blood together with the Woodland Elves. The relationship between the two tribes was relatively harmonious. When the dark camp occupied this place, it was not only a slap in the face of Thranduil, but also a slap in the face of the Star Elves.
"This time the darkness will dissipate!" Iovia's veins bulged as she gripped the hilt of her sword. Neither side could have known that the Star Elves would decisively attack Dol Guldur during a period of recuperation. If nothing unexpected had happened, it would have been a one-sided massacre...
…
"Swish!" A column of black blood shot out, and a third-level intermediate ranger flashed out from the woods. The elf scimitar with the swift blade and hunting skills activated, and the sharp blade carrying the aura of war whizzed across the head of the last orc in a patrol team.
The fresh, pungent smell of blood wafted from behind, and the orcs in front of him also smelled the distinct scent of blood...
"laugh!"
"puff!"
“Swish!”
The elven rangers hidden in the treetops jumped down one after another, and with their scimitars carrying combat skills, they swung their swords in flexible arcs to carry out this carefully planned murder in the dense forest!
A moment later, only a few orc corpses lay in a pool of blood. Some had their heads chopped off, some had their hearts pierced, and some had their shoulders split open. Black blood flowed freely in the dark jungle, nourishing the dark forest...
A moment later, a team of elves came hurriedly. They stepped over the corpses and swung their sharp scimitars to chop the branches and bushes. With their efforts, a small path that could only accommodate two people was opened up, and behind them, the road continued to extend... to the end of the sight.
"We're not far from those bastards!" Iovia gently drew out the slender elven scimitar from her waist. The increasing number of corpses along the way indicated that they were getting closer and closer to Dol Guldur.
"Stay alert and don't be careless! We are very close to our target!" Iovia whispered, and someone would pass on his orders.
He raised his head, and through the faint cracks in the treetops, he clearly caught a glimpse of the towering tower of Dol Guldur. Once a proud building of the elves, it was now covered in thorns and inhabited by filthy "blackskins"! Eovya trembled all over. Having long since withdrawn from the world, they had no idea that after them, the woodland elves, having lost their old king, would migrate north under the leadership of Thranduil and abandon their capital, Ammon Lance!
"What a shame!" Like all elves, Iovia possessed an insurmountable pride, and as the Elf King, he was even more arrogant! How could such a proud elf tolerate having their capital invaded by others, even if they were not from the same clan?
The biggest difference between Iowa and Thranduil is that he has not lost his enterprising spirit. The Star Elves' reclusiveness and caution are entirely due to their pitiful population base. If the population of the Star Elves were a little larger, Iowa would not mind leading his army to Mordor to meet the Black Gate again.
Through the shadows of the forest, one can see nearly three thousand star elf soldiers quietly marching in the dense forest. Their team is like a long dragon, with the head pointing to Dol Guldur!
…
"Stop moving forward!" Iovia gave the order immediately after hearing the report from the reconnaissance assassins, and the entire team stopped immediately.
(There are many assassins among the elves. Assassins and rangers have a lot in common. The elves' agility and extraordinary talents make elven assassins a nightmare for many enemies!)
