Warhammer 40: The Wandering Merchant

Chapter 14 Tie Hui: You little weasel!

But for some reason, it vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Ah..." The Ringwraiths tried to use mental manipulation to get Frodo to respond on his own.

But Gandalf had Frodo completely under his control, even covering his mouth with his hand.

Now they can't even send a reply!

Splash... splash...

Iron boots arrived in droves and began searching the surrounding area.

Wherever it passed, all kinds of snakes, rats, insects, and ants in the soil were terrified by this aura and scattered in all directions.

Except for Tie Hui, who was intimidated by the dragon's might of the dragon scale armor, everyone else was covered in these things!

Legolas' handsome face was furrowed with brows, clearly disgusted.

The Ringwraiths wielded longswords from the Demon Cave, their swings sending gusts of cold wind through the air.

Boromir and Sam felt a chill that went straight to their bones.

"Awooo—"

As everyone held their breath, a series of wolf howls suddenly echoed from the distant mountains and forests.

The Ringwraith, still searching, instantly turned its head to look, and then quickly ran towards the Hellhound.

The Ringwraiths immediately flew swiftly towards the direction from which the wolf howls had just been heard.

Upon seeing this, the group quickly got up, shook off the snakes, rats, insects, and ants from their bodies, and then, urged by Gandalf, hurried towards the Calanlas Mountains.

Tie Hui looked at Gandalf, who was urging everyone on, and swallowed back the words of advice he wanted to give.

When he saw the snow-capped mountains, he remembered a scene from a story.

That is, Frodo accidentally fell off the snowy mountain.

When Aragorn caught him, the Ring of Power he was wearing had fallen to the ground and was picked up by Boromir.

And for a long time, it was held in its hands!

This is absolutely a golden opportunity for him!

As long as he stays by Frodo's side, waiting for him to fall, he can quickly pick up the fallen Ring before Boromir does.

Then he instantly flashed back to the warhammer!

That amount of time, along with the distance between him and the others, should have been enough for him to safely return to Warhammer, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

I don't know if I'll reappear in the incinerator after returning to Warhammer, or what the flow of time will be like!

Although the system was questioned, it remained silent.

Right now, his mind is completely occupied with thinking about this problem and how to deal with it.

This includes the methods and systems for subsequently controlling the entire family!

He didn't even notice that Gandalf, who was at the very front, gave him a deep look before moving forward.

……

When the nine Ringwraiths arrived at the Howling Land, they saw a large group of orcs riding wolves and howling wildly below.

He immediately flew down excitedly!

The orcs and cavalry below drew their weapons as soon as they saw the Ringwraiths flying down.

But amidst the leader's shouts, they could only watch warily.

After the Ringwraiths landed, they looked at the orc leader.

Immediately afterwards, both parties fell into a state of bewildered exchange!

The next second, the howls of the Ringwraiths rang out.

The orc cavalry roared in response, and the two sides instantly clashed.

The Ringwraiths initially thought the orc cavalry's shouts meant they had spotted a target, but after arriving and exchanging information, they realized they had simply caught a whiff of that target and were excited.

This really angered them!

The two sides then got into an argument, which escalated into a physical fight.

Only Saruman, inside the tower, watched all this with satisfaction through the crystal ball.

He couldn't let the Ringwraiths ruin his plans.

He has already laid a trap in the Moria mine!

They were just waiting for Gandalf and his group to enter; this time, their goal was not only to eliminate Gandalf.

Furthermore, we must eliminate that mysterious and unpredictable wanderer named Tulag.

……

The snow-covered mountain was so deep that everyone had to slowly arch forward with each step they took.

Only Legolas, being an elf, was light and agile, walking directly on the snow without leaving a single footprint.

As Tie Hui followed Frodo forward, he would occasionally reach out and pull Frodo, who was having difficulty moving forward, to the front.

Aragorn also trusted him and pushed him forward with his hand.

Whenever Boromir tried to get closer, he was blocked from all sides by Tie Hui.

This further fueled Polomiel's aversion to him.

Tie Hui was filled with anticipation at this moment!

Tie Hui occasionally observed the expressions of the people around him and the surrounding environment, which was already very close to the landscape he remembered from his previous life.

As soon as Frodo fell, he immediately pounced on him.

Then just go back on the spot!

Just as he was having a wonderful time!

Frodo, who was behind him, slipped and let out a scream.

Tie Hui snapped out of his reverie and turned around abruptly. He saw Frodo tumbling downwards.

His eyes immediately fell to the spot where he had just collapsed.

Then he prepared to pounce on that place!

But before he could exert any force, a sudden, intense burning sensation came from his chest, instantly turning his excited face into a ferocious expression.

Damn it!

Tie Hui cursed inwardly, because he knew what was going on.

The excruciating pain caused his entire body to lose its grip uncontrollably, and he fell forward onto the snow, rolling down the slope.

Just as Aragorn had caught Frodo and regained his balance, he saw Ironhide rolling down the slope as well.

For a moment, all I felt was helplessness!

People nearby quickly stepped forward and caught Tie Hui as he rolled down.

I also helped him steady himself.

But all I saw was him tear open his thick clothes in an instant, then grab the cold snow from the ground and press it directly against his chest.

Aragorn raised an eyebrow, utterly bewildered by this behavior!

But just then, Frodo, who was touching his chest and couldn't find the Ring, let out a cry of surprise.

Baragon turned his head and saw that the man's face was full of anxiety, and realized that something was wrong.

Then he saw Boromir standing where Frodo had fallen, clutching the Ring and lost in ecstasy.

The entire group fell silent for a moment, with only the biting wind howling from the high mountain peak.

Tie Hui gripped the Emperor's necklace, his face filled with rage, and he was already cursing the Emperor in his heart.

I was still hoping for the best, but when I opened the clothes...

The area that was just scorched was the part where the emperor wore his necklace.

Directly facing the emperor's statue!

The skin that the emperor's statue touched was branded with the emperor's mark.

He rubbed the burned area with snow, frowning as he looked at Polomir, who was lost in fascination.

He now desperately wanted to pull a fragmentation grenade from a dimensional space and blow everyone present to smithereens.

Then he grabbed the Ring and went back inside!

"Damn weasel! No wonder your son rebelled; it seems it really is because he was vying with you for the Four Gods..."

"Oops..."
