Chapter 324 The Year the War Begins

Time is always spent in the ordinary. Sometimes when you look back, you will find that there are not so many major events in the world that will directly involve everyone.

At least not so often.

Ordinary is often the mainstream.

And many people meet the end of their lives in this ordinary life.

Their dark night has arrived.

[Alger: 2916~2995]

[Yawen: 2918~2996]

Standing in front of two relatively new tombstones leaning against each other, Levi closed his eyes and sighed softly.

"But my dark night is far away."

He planted a flower in front of each of the two graves.

When they first met, the two young men were only in their twenties. At that time, they were still free rangers. They had fought on the front line, walked through the wilderness and mountains, and passed through the Black Gate with the caravan and him...

They also fought hard for the title of the Legion Champion and brought a wonderful duel to everyone.

They represented an era, and at the end of this era, they passed away one after another.

On this day, Levi went into the warehouse to pick and choose some basic materials.

Then, a memorial hall was built on the open space near the cemetery, and then some solemn-style furnishings were placed inside.

When everything was arranged, Levi inserted the dragon steel sword that Yawen returned to him on the stone platform, and there was a memorial wall behind the stone platform.

After doing this, he wrote a line of small words on the first line of the first memorial wall behind this first stone platform:

Champion of the first Legion Competition: Yawen (2918~2996).

A sword has a history in this way.

It will be displayed here until the next user arrives.

Each sword has its own stone platform and memorial wall.

When the memorial hall was opened, all the champions took time to come back and walk around. They found the position of their weapons and engraved their names on the corresponding memorial wall.

After that, the new legion champions will come here to claim their own inheritance and remember their predecessors.

After doing all this, a few months later, Levi went to the Great Wall in the north and went deep into Angmar for investigation.

"Almost done."

In 2997, Roadside Castle held a meeting that was the largest in recent years.

The main participants were the commanders of the various legions (garrisons/rangers) of Roadside Castle, the captains of the companies, the champions of the legions, and some representatives and instructors of the nomads.

In addition, there were internal coordinators of Roadside Castle, including representatives of various communities and project leaders, and the caretakers and managers of important facilities such as ordnance and supplies.

The theme of the meeting was "the final cleanup of Angmar".

After a long period of strategy, this matter finally entered the final stage and could be slowly concluded.

This matter was controlled by Levi himself.

Now he is no longer the offline leader who knew nothing about everything decades ago. After Bard's death, he became studious and secretly learned all the things that Bard asked him to learn but he insisted on pretending not to hear and didn't want to learn.

This meeting lasted for a long time.

Under the influence of Levi's consistent conservative strategy, the final result of the meeting and the proposed plan were also relatively conservative.

Needless to say, logistics, supplies and weapons have never been a problem. The managers of various departments are basically graduates of excellent schools who have been on the battlefield and are both literary and martial. They know what is needed on the battlefield, are proficient in overall planning, and have the ability to manage everything.

As for the offensive.

The initial plan is: in addition to the necessary garrison, Lubianbao and Water City will send a total of 10,000 elite troops to the north.

Levi himself will be the commander-in-chief, assisted by two Lubianbao commanders, and under the commanders are five legion commanders and hundreds of company commanders.

The basic configuration is 2,000 people per legion, one legion contains ten companies, and each company has 200 people.

Each legion has at least one legion champion, who will fight bravely and follow the legion commander to protect the legion commander to ensure that he will not be accidentally injured.

In the legion, each company must have at least two excellent rangers, and at least one of the two excellent rangers must be assigned to be good at management and tactics, so as to coordinate work and plan execution/designation.

Finally, these positions are not static, and each position can be compatible and replaced when necessary.

Ten thousand elites are definitely enough to deal with the remnants of Angmar, after all, Levi himself is there.

Moreover, the remnants of Angmar are called remnants because before the attack was launched, this area had been worn out for more than ten years, the enemy density had been greatly reduced, and the difficulty of conquering was no longer like hell as before.

This expedition was prepared for a long time.

After the meeting, Levi stepped into the gate of hell and found the hell fortress. He brushed the flames in it for several months and accumulated a large number of brewing materials. From this, the healing potion was replenished in large quantities, which was estimated to be enough to support a large-scale war.

In mid-2997, the meeting ended.

At the end of 2997, everything was ready.

The next year, in the spring of 2998, when the lively annual meeting was over, the winter snow melted, and the branches sprouted new buds, the army officially began to gather.

Since there was plenty of time to prepare this time, the nomads who were active in distant places and stationed in the tribe’s living area also got the news and rushed over before the expedition.

No mistakes in one post, one content, one book, one forum, 6-9!

With Aragorn as the representative and leader, the nomads gathered a legion of thousands of people to support.

This is almost all the combat personnel they can mobilize, and there are even many female nomads among them.

It is no problem to say that the whole tribe is mobilized.

This decision and action of the nomads is not unexpected. You know, they and Angmar have a thousand-year-long blood feud of destroying the country.

Now there is such an opportunity. If they are absent, people will wonder if something has happened to them.

In short, the army has grown from 10,000 to 11,000. Out of the idea that talents should not be wasted, Aragorn was appointed by Levi as the third commander.

"Wait..."

Just when everything was about to be finalized, Levi suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of the nomad army.

"What are you hiding?"

Farodan, who tried to fish in the water, was picked out by Levi.

This guy should not be underestimated. After traveling and training in the East, he can face the Ringwraiths alone in terms of courage, and his strength is also at the level of the Legion Champion.

As for experience and tactical planning ability, it has to be mentioned that Farodan is over 150 years old this year, and his combat experience alone is more than 100 years. He can definitely be called experienced.

His life experience is also rich. He has fought on the battlefield for more than 100 years, served as an instructor in the Roadside Fort military camp, served as a lecturer in school, led the army to defend the city, and killed the Ringwraiths...

Among the nomads, Farodan's reputation seems to be not low, second only to Aragorn.

It would be a pity not to let such a veteran do something.

So he filled the vacant position of the leader of the Nomad Legion, and this result was also what everyone expected.

Levi said Farodan had no objection to this arrangement.

"It's okay this time."

"Let's go!"

Everything started in an orderly manner.

The end of Angmar is approaching, and it will be thoroughly liquidated. The hidden dangers left in it may disappear completely after this expedition.

After the army was dispatched, the city seemed to become less lively.

Some people may think that the defenses of Roadside Fort and Water City are a bit empty at the moment, but if there is really something that wants to take the opportunity to do something to these two places-

then they will see that there are actually more defenders in the city than the number of troops going out.

This is where Levi is more conservative. Regardless of attack or defense, no one on both sides can be missing.

At this time, even if they face the army of more than 15,000 that attacked Moria decades ago, even if Levi is not there, even if a conquest army has been sent out, the two cities can handle it independently, and there is no need to mobilize reinforcements from elsewhere.
