"Welcome, Aragorn, son of Arazhon. β
In the Valley of the Sacred Helm, the hussar king Heudon personally welcomed out of the palace and received Aragorn and several others: "Although you are a little late, this is still good news for us, those evil orcs have not been completely wiped out, and the remaining remnants of the defeated army may still cause chaos in Rohan's territory." β
Aragorn leaned slightly, bowed, and said, "Yes, ruler of Rohan, Hussar King Hiyodon. On the way here, I've heard from Iomo that Rohan's Iron Riders have won an epic victory in the Valley of the Helm, successfully eliminating Saruman's threat to Rohan. β
"However, this is not the end, but only the beginning. Because the Demon King of Mordor is our strongest enemy compared to Saruman, and if we don't defeat him, then all the current victories will be in vain. β
Hearing this, the excitement on Xiyouton's face due to the victory suddenly turned to prudence. As Aragorn said, the war is not over, this is just the beginning.
"So, O son of Arasson, what news have you brought with you from the far north, and what is the current situation?" he said, "and when one problem is solved, many more are with it. I've been confused by the sweet words of clever words for too long, and the news from the outside world is more precious to me now!"
"Until then, Father, I think we should go to the palace and sit down and talk about it. Just as Aragon was about to elaborate, a woman dressed in white beside Hiudon spoke: "This group of travelers must have been through a lot of dust and dust when they came from afar, and perhaps food and water would make them feel more comfortable. β
"That's right, Iowen, let's sit down and talk about it in detail!" said Theodon, turning and leading the group toward a palace not far away.
Aragorn couldn't help but look at the woman in white, who had only focused on Xue Leng, Fansen, and Xiyodon before, and had ignored the girl. She was very beautiful, her long hair was as gorgeous as a river of gold, and her tall and thin body was dressed in a white robe and tied with a silver belt, but she seemed to be heroic, and one could feel a kind of steely fortitude, and she was indeed a woman of royal blood.
Aragorn saw the beauty of Rohan's daughter Iowen for the first time in the daytime, believing that she was as cold as the morning mist, and had not yet faded from the girl's youth, but Iowen turned her head away, and at the same time carved the impression of Aragorn deeply in her heart. The tall crown prince, who exuded weathered wisdom and a gray cloak, could feel a hidden power in him.
This was the first time Aragon and Eowwen met, and they both made a deep impression on each other's hearts.

"I see, then the current situation has indeed reached a rather serious point. β
After listening to Aragorn's account, everyone present was silent for a while. Admittedly, Sauron hadn't taken his Ring back yet, but no one could say for sure, what if the man who had snatched the Ring took refuge in Sauron?
"That means, then, that when you left from Roslorian, one party went to the Forest of Fagon to seek the help of the Entres, and the other team traveled to the White City with Boromo, the son of the regent of Minas Tirith, to settle the crisis there. Van Sen summed it up: "As for the wizard Gandalf, he also went to Minas Tirith, where it seems that a great war is about to take place." β
"Yes, Minas Tirith is about to be the point of the great war, so we will do our best to rush there. Aragorn agreed, "But where did you come from? β
Hearing Aragorn's question, Fansen replied without hesitation: "We do not belong to this continent, and we are only here to complete certain tasks, as for what missions, I have nothing to say. β
"The only thing I can tell you is that the mission does not conflict with your goals, and at least for now, Sauron remains our only enemy. β
In the end, the disgust in Fansen's tone was palpable even to the four hobbits.
"Is that so......"
With Aragon's eyesight, he could naturally see that the person in front of him was not easy to deal with, and maybe there was another purpose for helping Rohan expel the orcs. However, he was not easy to say, on the one hand, the other party was indeed on the side of justice, and had made great contributions to Rohan, and on the other hand, they themselves said that Sauron was the only enemy, and the feelings in his tone did not seem to be pretended. In any case, the enemy of the enemy is the friend, and as long as the enemy of the other party is Sauron, then it is perfectly possible to be an ally.
"Then please also ask King Xiudun to lead his army to Minas Tirith, in the current situation, we need to unite every force against the Demon King of Mordor...... Hope Boromo a qiΔ shun lΓ¬. β
"Don't worry, Aragon! Boromo and Zheng Zhe will definitely be fine!" Seeing that Aragorn's tone was a little uncertain, Jin Li immediately laughed and said loudly: "With their strength, what else can be difficult to defeat them? Let's hurry as much as we can! The more Sauron's army comes, the better, I'm afraid that it won't kill enough!"
γZheng Zha?......γ
There seemed to be a faint flash of light in Fansen's small disc glasses, but it was only fleeting, and then he said to Heudon, "Your Majesty, since Aragon has said so, it is better for us to go to Minas Tirith! Time is pressing, and if we want to gather all Rohan's cavalry, it will take at least three days." β
"Three days ......"
Aragorn was silent for a moment, as if calculating something, and after a while he muttered, "That's when Rohan's forces began to assemble, and I understand that this is urgent...... Well, my lord, I beg your pardon, as Gandalf said, as the heir to the Western royal family, the moment of low-key seclusion is over, and it is time for me to get my things back. β
"What did you retrieve?" said Theodon, confused.
"Until then, I would like to entrust you with these four hobbits that you will concentrate the forces of Rohan in the royal capital. Then let them stay in the safety of the Rohan royal capital, and wait quietly until the end of the capital, and then let them return to their homeland. Instead of answering immediately, Aragon made a different request.
"That's no problem at all. Xiyuton said, "But what are you going to do? Aragon, no matter how strong you are, you can't change the whole situation." β
"Of course I know that, King Xieudon. Aragorn said, "So then, I and Jinli and Legolas will make the shortest way east......
