Rohan

A whole week had passed, and Zhao Mian had almost non-stop running around the gate of the Moriath Mine to the legendary Rohan Pass, and from this place through the Misty Mountains, Lothlin was not far away.

But there was a reason why Rohan Pass had been abandoned from the choice from the beginning - this place was too close to an ancient city called Isengard, and the wizard in charge of it was the head of the Holy White Council, the white-robed wizard Saruman, and this place was supposed to be a very safe place, but the news of Saruman's betrayal caused everyone to find a way through the dangerous misty mountains.

The Fagon Forest is very dangerous, it is not suitable for any intelligent creatures to set foot, and the dark forest will always engulf the ignorant adventurers - these are the words that Zhao Mian specially instructed the caravan leader when he said goodbye to the caravan in Dengland. They were going to Yining Weizhi and said goodbye at a fork in the road shortly after traveling with Zhao Mian.

Just as Gandalf and Aragon had guessed at the beginning, Rohan's Pass was full of spies, and the enemy's eyes were everywhere - Zhao Mian could feel the malicious gaze almost as soon as he entered the range of human action, and the methods were so clumsy that Zhao Mian could almost see who was watching him without turning around. That's right, the other party can even stand in front of Zhao Mian and look at Zhao Mian with a scrutinizing eye, and then a large group of people surround him, wanting to take Zhao Mian down.

Of course, Zhao Mian couldn't have been knocked down in this way, and the bastards who dared to do it had all fallen to the ground, but because he didn't know whether the other party was affected by magic or other temptations, Zhao Mian just invited them into a deep sleep without hurting their lives.

Something was wrong - Zhao Mian quickly realized it. This is supposed to be the territory of the Rohan Kingdom, but along the way, Zhao Mian has even met three orcs roaming in the western valley of Rohan in small teams, but he has not even seen a single soldier of the army of the Rohan Kingdom itself - this is very wrong, because the orcs are the enemies of all other races in Middle-earth, and it stands to reason that these guys will generally survive in some places where they can't see the sun, because once they go to the sun, they will not only be weakened, but also annihilated by other races. But Zhao Mian rode his war horse all the way from the Rohan Pass all the way through the Western Valley, but he didn't even see an army that went out to exterminate the orcs - this basically represents a conclusion: Rohan has surrendered.

"It's also possible that this is not the case. Zhao Mian stood on the outskirts of the Fagong Forest, watching the shade of the trees in the forest, holding half of the bread in one hand and sending it to his mouth, and waving the half-empty water bag in the other hand, "I didn't see the army of the Rohan Kingdom and the orcs in the same stream, nor did I see those orcs invading large towns." That is to say, they did not cooperate on the surface, which may be the work of some people within the country, after all, such a vast country, there must be all kinds of people inside, and it is not so unusual for some traitors to appear. ”

"But you can't deny that when the power of the enemy can be present in a state in a state, it can't be a problem of the state officials - there must be a big problem with their royal family, maybe the emperor is dead, or maybe something else, which makes the country's leadership unable to manage the whole country, trapped in their own cities. Through the communication device that Zhao Mian obtained from the Void Spirit at a high price, Gianna's stereoscopic image was shaking her head in front of Zhao Mian, as if she had just gotten out of bed - or had just finished a failed alchemy experiment, because her hairstyle was obviously very messy, "You really should make up for politics, Crown." As the Duke of Stormwind, you don't even get involved in basic political affairs, and if it weren't for your own strength and Varian to help you block a lot of things, you would have been sent to the border to fight by those politicians. ”

"If they do, it's a big deal for me to move. Zhao Mian shrugged his shoulders, put the water bag that had been drunk in his hand back into the space bag, patted the crumbs on his hand, and said, "Besides, don't tear up the topic, I'm discussing my next move with you." ”

"Isn't it the end of going straight to that place called Lothlolin?" Gianna shook her head helplessly, "I don't know exactly when the rest of the guys will be there, but if it were me, I would stay there for more than half a month - and then leave there when no one knows, so that I can quietly disappear from the continent again with my team, and those enemies who want to catch me will become headless flies, aimlessly dividing their forces to find me." ”

"But no matter how long they stay in Lothlorin, they will eventually pass through Rohan. Zhao Mian said, he looked at the war horse that had just passed by him with some apprehension - even Mu who was like the Holy Spirit was a little uncomfortable now, and the long-term running made its soul not so solid, as if the signal was not good, and occasionally flickered, "I'm not so eye-catching by myself now, and I can easily pass it in most cases." But by that time ten people had walked through the wilderness together, especially with many races other than humans, and it would be like telling the enemy, 'Hey, I'm here, come quickly!' and now there are some small scattered troops roaming the wilderness, and I really can't predict how many orcs will be waiting to ambush everyone here again in nearly a month's time. ”

"Alright, you reckless. Gianna tugged back her hair, smoothing the blonde hair a little, "You must have something in mind, right? Although you are simply useless in politics, it is undeniable that you are still very good in terms of the overall situation and strategy - tell me, what kind of ideas do you have?"

"I want to go to Rohan's capital, Idoras. Zhao Mian shrugged, "Whatever happened there, or what is happening, I have an obligation to find out - it depends on whether the expedition team can destroy the Ring as smoothly as expected, the combination of Mordor and Isenger is enough for everyone to eat a pot, I don't want another enemy on the way, after all, you know, including my team, there are only ten people." ”

"But the war horse can't hold it anymore, right?" Gianna said, pointing to the war horse beside Zhao Mian, "I can clearly see that it can't maintain its shape anymore, maybe after a while, it will be forcibly pulled back to its place." What are you going to do then? Do you have to walk the rest of the way? Oh, it's going to be a very long way. ”

"I'm going to summon Sassedom here. Zhao Mian pulled out a rein, a little mysterious light was flashing on it, and his other hand pulled out a huge disc - maybe it wasn't quite right, it was like a simple disc made of several gears overlapping each other, but the intricate pattern on it let everyone know that this thing might not be that simple, "If it were him, it would all be very easy." I can even go and meet them after I've done something - I'm sure it wouldn't take me much time even then. ”
