"It's the spell of the Ring Spirit, they are not really the Ring Spirit, just their clone. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info," Thranduil said. Qi Ming nodded, he was not surprised, he already knew the strength of the ring spirit, the real ring spirit would definitely not be able to deal with it with just a rain of arrows, suspended behind Thrandil, the two waited there, and after a while, the leader of the cavalry they saved was brought in front of the elves.
"Give your name, human. ”
Treating others, Thranduil was not as polite as he was to Qiming, and at this time, facing this human knight, Thranduil instantly returned to his true appearance as a king, and a lofty temperament rose leisurely.
"Faramor, Your Excellency. The knight saluted with one fist on his chest, and then Keimi noticed that a silver sacred tree was painted on his chest, and his name was decorated with his name, which was the younger brother of Borromo of the Fellowship of the Fellowship of the Ring and the second son of the current regent of Gondor.
Faramir didn't expect that he would be saved by a group of elves, he had just seen that the number of these elves was simply terrifying, and when he looked at it, a piece of golden armor could barely see the ground. Since ancient times, elves have rarely interacted with other races, and the purpose of such a large elven army appearing in Gondor's territory is intriguing.
"Why are you being hunted by the Ringwraith?" Thranduil asked.
Faramor's expression darkened, and he whispered, "Mordor has invaded Ogilias, and my men and I are the only survivors. ”
Ogillias, another large city in Gondor, is located on both sides of the great river Anduin, guarding the only bridge in the lower reaches of the Anduin River, and is the only way for Mordor to attack Gondor, and its strategic position can be imagined.
Hearing Faramir's words, Thranduil and Qiming glanced at each other, and both understood that this meant that Mordor's army had entered the territory of Gondor.
"How many troops do they have?" Qiming said, this is the one thing he is most concerned about, although losing a battle will only deduct 4000 reward points, but Minas Tirith is the strongest fortress in Middle-earth, if even this place can't stop Mordor's army, the rest of the city will inevitably fall like a devastation, and then it will not be just a matter of 4000 reward points.
Shaking his head, Faramir said, "I don't know!"
Then, there was a look of fear in his eyes: "It was obviously daytime, but the sky suddenly darkened, and there was a heavy fog in the river, and then the group of black-skinned monsters appeared directly, as if falling from the sky, the city defense was useless, no one could stop them, endless orcs and other monsters poured into the city, I and my subordinates were on the outskirts of the west of the city at the time, and we didn't meet the orcs head-on, I don't know how many of them there were, I just remember looking at the black oppression, even the clouds in the sky were dyed black." ”
Qiming frowned, Faramir's description is too general, in times of crisis, people's senses are not accurate at all, and this kind of information is no different from nothing.
At that moment, the sound of horses' hooves rang out, and a group of elven cavalry entered the army, came to Thrandil, and whispered a few words. Then, Thranduil raised his head, looked at Qiming fiercely, and said, "Angmar Witch King, he is here, along with the other eight Ring Spirits, and there are more than 300,000 troops!"
"Angmar Witch King!" Before Qiming could speak, Faramir shouted, for the creatures of Middle-earth, this immortal monster is far more terrifying than the army, in the days when Sauron hid Mordor, this head of the Nine Rings almost took Sauron's place in the dark forces, leading Mordor's monsters to wreak havoc in Middle-earth, burning, looting and doing all kinds of evil, it is simply the death of Middle-earth.
Hearing this name, Qiming couldn't help frowning, the head of the Nine Rings had already encountered it before, if it was him in his heyday, this existence would not be afraid, but now, its existence must not be ignored.
"No wonder, no wonder ......"
While Qiming was thinking, Faramir stood there dumbfounded, muttering quietly. Originally, he still had the last glimmer of hope in his heart, but now the appearance of the head of the Nine Rings shattered the last vestige in his heart, with the defensive power of Minas Tirith, he would definitely not be able to survive the attack of 300,000 troops and the Nine Rings that were even more terrifying than them.
"Gondor, how many troops are there?" Thranduil asked.
"Less than twenty thousand. ”
After a moment's hesitation, Faramir replied truthfully. Now that Mordor's army is overwhelmed, Gondor's forces are simply not enough to fight against it, and the deployment of troops no longer needs to be kept a secret.
Over the years, as the royal blood has been severed, the military power of the entire Gondor has been declining, and now in the generation of Faramore's father, the current regent of Gondor, Dinethor II, the power of the country has long since been no match for its former glory.
"If I have a way to deal with the Witch King of Angmar, can you stop the 300,000 army?" Qiming looked at Thrandil.
"If it's just for the city, you can!" thought for a moment, and Thranduil said briefly.
The elves' army has 40,000, and counting the 20,000 troops of Minas Tirith, the total is 60,000, which is still only one-fifth of the strength of Mordor's army. But the combat power of the elves is already strong, and the orcs of the Lord of the Rings world are not as strong as other magical worlds, even if they are strong orcs strengthened by Saruman, their combat power is similar to that of humans, and the elves can almost fight three of them without falling behind, coupled with the strong defense ability of Minas Tirith itself, it is not theoretically impossible to resist the 300,000 army of orcs.
"Okay, then I'll find a way to stop Angmar!" Qiming nodded.
At this time, Faramir on the side also understood, and said in surprise: "You want to help us?"
"Why, don't want to?" Qiming asked, he didn't have time to argue about these small issues, the soldiers were very fast, knowing the movements of Mordor's troops, they didn't have any time to waste, and in terms of plot, there was a difference between the movie and the book in shaping the character of the Regent of Gondor. In the movie, he is greedy and arrogant, and even when the orc army is approaching the city, he still refuses to light the beacon and ask Rohan for help. But in the books, the regent is completely different, except for some iron-blooded and indifferent, the description of him in the Lord of the Rings can be described as eloquent. However, Thranduil has said before that the setting of this regent is obviously more in line with the movie.
Sure enough, as soon as Qiming's voice fell, Faramir immediately replied: "Of course I do, but my father ......"
Qiming raised his hand to stop him from continuing, his eyes looked at Minas Tirith in the distance, and said coldly: "Your father, I will solve it!"
