Novel Full Chapter 627
Chapter 627: Chapter 561: Legion Battle Chapter 627: Chapter 561: Legion Battle Between the Misty Mountains and the White Mountains lay a long, narrow valley known as Rohan Gap.
It connected Arrodes and the Kingdom of Rohan.
And in between the Gap flowed the River Isen from the north, which was turbulent but became calm at the Gap, suitable for crossing the river.
Hence, the location was also known as the Crossing of River Isen.
Since the other side belonged to the territory of the white-robed wizard Saruman, Rohan did not pay much attention to the defense here.
There was only the echoing Hornburg, mainly to guard against the Dunlendings who might return to the fray.
However, unbeknownst to them, the Dunlendings had long since pledged their allegiance to Saruman, plus the strong Orc army secretly crafted by Saruman was ready and waiting nearby, with far greater forces than Rohan.
Just as the Fellowship of the Ring was heading south from Loslorien in the north toward this direction.
On the land beside River Isen near Arrodes, a vast army had already gathered.
A dense, dark mass of troops.
For years, Saruman had been building up his forces, cutting down forests, smelting weapons, and creating a strong Orc legion, combined with the Dunlendings who bore an ancient grudge against Rohan, now amassed together.
In their commanding camp, besides the Orc Commander Lurtz and the chief of the Dunlendings, there were also three additional figures.
Among these three, one wore the traditional robes of the Floating City, while the other two were one mechanically modified and one with an alien implant, both with very distinct appearances.
Undoubtedly, they were three Pioneers!

Saruman claimed to have captured a group of Pioneers, but now these three stood openly in the Commander’s tent, and they seemed to be in a commanding position.
The unruly commanders of both the strong Orcs and the Dunlendings now found themselves in subservient roles.
And before them on the table lay a large-scale green screen locator.
It appeared to be an old-fashioned pixel-style display.
Yet, without satellites or a base station system, solely relying on Yuan Force for rather precise positioning, it was a piece of quite sophisticated equipment.
Looking at the indicator light on the display moving close to the specified area, the white-robed Pioneer from Floating City, Puzi, also revealed a hint of a smile.
“We’ve reached the designated position, give the order to the whole army, launch the attack.
Within one day, we must annihilate the entire Rohan garrison at the crossing.”
“I’ve been impatiently waiting for this moment,” snarled the leader of the Dunlendings with a malevolent smile.
And Lurtz, the first Orc Commander, responded with a roar.
Before leaving, Saruman had temporarily given them three the authority to initiate the attack.
This could be seen as an extremely lavish ‘trust’.
After the two tribal commanders left the tent and began commanding the army,
The one who looked like a Lizardman, seemingly of the Longxi Clan lineage, then spoke,
“Lord Puzi, they have started their operations.
Should we also make plans to save ourselves?”
While speaking, he unconsciously touched the white collar around his neck.
Not just him, including Puzi, all three had identical collars around their necks.
With these, Saruman could control their lives and deaths at any moment.
“It’s easier said than done.
This device will claim our lives immediately if we leave the controlling party’s sphere.
Right now, the best we can do is to satisfy him, hmph, these local natives have indeed been too disobedient.”
Puzi’s face darkened.
He had come with such earnest intentions and so much valuable intelligence, yet still found himself subjected to such restraint; it irked him.
However, hearing that the group that went to the Land of Darkness hadn’t fared better did provide him some solace.
“We previously received news that the ‘Eight-Armed Vajra’ seems to have entered this world, and according to intelligence, he is suspected to have become a World Breaker.”
The Lizardman sighed lightly, his feelings a mix of complexity.
A World Breaker…
Even the deceased ancestor was only a World Breaker, the current Family Head relied on the continuous accumulation of resources, and to this day, still just short of the final step, barely maintaining the situation by playing their last card to have the power to contend with a World Breaker.
Learning this information had indeed been a substantial shock.
Even knowing the ‘Eight-Armed Vajra’ had potential, recognizing no limit to his future, he still didn’t expect such rapid progress…
Now a person to be looked up to.
Born in the Outer City…
“What do you mean ‘suspected’?
It’s undeniable that he’s a World Breaker, and not a mediocre one at that,” Puzi scoffed upon hearing the other’s words.
Different status and channels brought vastly different information.
Still, while sharing this news, jealousy filled the depths of his heart.
This must be the Suns providing top-class resources.

How could such a lowly commoner from the Outer City possibly deserve it…
With this, he could even become the son-in-law of the Suns!
Thinking of Miss Sun’s beauty, jealousy seared through Puzi’s heart.
“Hmph, but what a pity, you boarded a sinking ship at the worst possible time…”
A cold sneer crept into Puzi’s heart.
Unlike the two beside him, solely intent on saving themselves, Puzi was there by choice despite his anger at being captured.
He was acting according to the plan!
Bringing the other two was merely for the sake of public cover.
