Chapter 18: Swinging the sword, execution

Swing the sword, execute

"Take this, Your Majesty," said a hearty voice, "I will always be loyal to Your King!" Iomo came out of the room, and he fell on one knee before King Theeudon and presented his sword before his king.

Zhao Mian looked approvingly at the young man in front of him, this person will become a major minister sooner or later, if there is no one in the royal family to inherit, he will be the best choice.

Theodon looked at Iomo in front of him in silence, then reached out and grasped the hilt of his sword. At that moment, as if all the energy of the past had returned to the king who had been described as withered not long ago, he swung the sword in his hand vigorously, as if cutting through the darkness around his body, and his loud command, his voice was majestic, and resounded throughout the city: "Knights of Xiyodon! Those evil enemies will be punished - take your weapons and drive out all the invaders!"

"Take back your sword, my nephew, O Eomer!" the king said, "Go, Hama, and bring back my own sword!" ”

"As for you, Clever Words. Xiudun turned his gaze to Qiao Yan, who was held down by Zhao Mian and kneeling on the ground, his face was extremely pale, and there were tears flowing from his eyes under the sunlight - he had been standing in the darkness for too long, and the slight light made him unbearable, "Grimma, Grema, son of Gamed! You will also step on your horse to exterminate those orcs, and you still have time to fix everything and clean the rust marks on your sword!"

"Grace, king!" cried Qiaoyan, lying on the ground and wailing, "please forgive the little man who has done so hard for you, and do not send me away from you! Don't drive your loyal servant Grima away!"

"I am especially gracious to you," said Heydon, "I will not send you away from me, I will take you on the march, and I ask you to join me in the battle to prove your loyalty." Go and pack your bags, Grimma, and we're leaving at two o'clock this afternoon!"

"I'm afraid you'll need to mobilize the whole country's troops, King Xiyodon. Zhao Mian said loudly, he let go of the other party's neck, and then easily helped him connect the dislocated arms, "Whether it's Esinger in your west, or Mordor in the east." The evil among them is spreading, countless armies are being armed inside, the eyes of the evil forces are all over the wilderness, just wait for the demon lord to give the order, countless orcs will rush out of the darkness, they have only one purpose - to destroy all the good things, so that everything under the light will disappear into the darkness. ”

"But it's not too late. Xiyodon looked at the western wilderness, and Zhao Mian also looked at it, and at the extreme of his sight, a little bit of fire was burning there, and there was Isengard, "We are not fighting alone, although the royal family of Gondor has not had an heir for a long time, but the regent is still in charge of Mirastilis, and the White City is still erected before Mordor, I only need to deal with Isengard." Also, you mentioned Gandalf, do you have any suggestions?"

"I haven't seen him for almost half a month, Lord of Rohan. Zhao Mian shook his head, he took off his helmet unhurriedly, allowing himself to look at the king in front of him more intuitively, "I was separated from them outside of Moria, and the reason why I passed through your country was to join them. They should have arrived at Lothlorin by now, and the Mizusawa Elves should be able to entertain them well. ”

"Elves! It seems true that the Elves are in the Lothlorium Grove, and we all think it's a legend. Xiyoton shook his head with some sighs, he looked at Zhao Mian and carefully looked at his armor, "But just like you, those legendary things have all come to us in the same way, the ancient demon king has reawakened, the white-robed wizard Saruman has thrown himself into his arms, and the orcs have gathered in the whole world, and countless darkness has rushed towards us like a flood." ”

"But we have not lost hope, Your Majesty. Zhao Mian said, he looked at the sky, where a black dot was gradually getting bigger, he pointed to Grima at his feet, the man was staring at him with a hateful gaze, "This is the guy who has deceived you for a long time, King Xiyudon." I don't think you should have left him behind, and you shouldn't have taken him to battle. Mercy is a good thing, but justice is much more important to an emperor than mercy. Zhao Mian put his helmet under his armpit, he lifted Grima with his hand, and then threw it under the steps - the many soldiers there tacitly let go of a clearing, watching Grima struggle to get up, "He not only trapped you in the darkness, he also brought the minions of darkness into your country and wreaked havoc on your land." Your people have borne his sins for far too long, and it will take the most just verdict to clear his name - to execute him, and if the laws of a country cannot punish such a fellow, then let me come!"

Heyudon looked around, all the soldiers looked at him silently, but everyone's eyes were the same, those soldiers expressed their attitudes in wordless words, and Heyoton seemed to see the damage suffered by his country in all this-the eyes of those who may still be suffering now, as if through the eyes of these soldiers, went straight to their hearts. He closed his eyes and waved his hand.

"Long live my king Siyodon!" shouted all the soldiers in unison, and two of them came out and prostrated on the ground, shouting all kinds of words, hoping that Grima, who would be able to be forgiven, and carried him out of this place.

"It's not an easy thing to decide, stranger. Xiyoton said in a tired voice, he watched as Grima was dragged out of the open space outside this room by two soldiers, until the other party lost his figure after a corner, and then turned to look at Zhao Mian, "I am grateful for all this you have done, and I am sure that my soldiers are equally grateful to you." But we don't know your name. ”

"My name is Zhao Mian, King Xiyudon. Zhao Mian said, he made a chest salute, and the big sword behind him hit the armor with a crisp sound, "We all have emotions, but if this personal emotion will threaten the safety of others, then I'm afraid we can only do this." However, I have to say that your decision will definitely be supported by all the people. ”

"Yes, I hope so......" King Xiyuton sighed, he looked at Zhao Mian and asked, "Zhao Mian...... That's how you put it...... Your Excellency Zhao Mian, do you have any comments on what will happen next?"

"Organize an army to strike at all orcs and enemy eyeliners that enter the territory of your country, driving them out of your country. For a country where most of its army is cavalry, it would be foolish to hold on to reinforcements, and only attack is your best defense. Zhao Mian turned his gaze to the sky, where the black dot could already be seen as a large winged creature, and it was still approaching rapidly, "Then it's a matter of waiting for the moment, cavalry is not suitable for siege warfare - but once Isinger's army encounters a cavalry assault on the plains, they are not worth mentioning. It may take almost a month to wait, because this cold time is really not suitable for armies, you only need to send a small force to harass and fight the orcs who enter your country - believe me, the master of Mordor in the East is not so patient, he will seize any opportunity to send troops outside, and now he is waiting for the weather to get a little warmer, and there will be a big war!"

"So, what do you plan next?" asked King Theodon.

"I'm going to go to Los Lolyn to meet up with my friends - they're going to pick me up right away. Zhao Mian looked up at the sky, Sassdom's figure was already clearly visible, and in the next moment, the shadow of the dragon covered everyone's sight, and they looked up, the huge creature made all the humans who were not determined fall to the ground, Zhao Mian said, "Look, he is coming." ”
