Chapter Forty-Seven: What is the Choice?
"Xiao Honglu, what should we do now?"
In a valley not far from Isinger, the second detachment of the Middle-earth team was lighting a bonfire and starting to eat and replenish their bodies, while the five newcomers were resting in sleeping bags in a nearby clearing. Behind them, there are dozens of strange creatures several meters tall, which do not look like humans at all, but are somewhat similar to the Resident Evil trackers, but stronger than the trackers.
Halfway through eating, Wang Xia suddenly asked, "We have now transformed dozens of strong orcs into trackers, what are we going to do next?" Are we going to join up with Zheng Zhe, or are we going to take a gamble and try to kill Saruman?"
After listening to Wang Xia's words, Xiao Honglu also put down the big spider in his hand that was eaten by him, plucked a hair with his greasy hand, and said, "Don't be in a hurry to decide the next strategy...... Until then, I'm going to analyze the current situation, focusing on the relationship between Isengar and Mordor, between orcs and orcs, and between Saruman and Sauron. ”
"What's the point of analyzing their relationship? Cheng Xiao said with a big grin.
"Yes, they are all our enemies, but their alliances are not so strong. Xiao Honglu said: "I don't know if you have noticed it during this period of action, there are not only strong orcs guarding near Issinger, but also half-orcs, and the relationship between them is not harmonious. ”
"Orcs are Sauron's subordinates, and I'm sure you should know that. But the Orcs are different, their ancestors are the half-orc tribes of the Misty Mountains that were taken in by Saruman, and then crossed through a mixed race in an unknown way...... Generally speaking, hybrids will always be stronger than normal races, and strong orcs are no exception. They don't have the fear of sunlight, which is the worst weakness of the orcs, and they are very loyal to Saruman, and their height and strength far surpass that of the orcs. This is also the reason why Chu Xuan asked us to come here to transform the strong orcs into trackers, instead of going to a random place to capture a large number of half-orc transformations. ”
"Yes, we can also feel this aspect of things, and then?" Wang Xia replied.
"Then there are Saruman and Sauron, Sauron has long known that the Lord of the Rings has left the Charr, and its current holder is a hobbit, as can be seen from the fact that the Ring Spirit chased all the way to the Charr in the original books. And I think based on Sauron's ability, he should now also know the number of expeditions that left Rivendell, as well as the races of each person, including the Arctic Continent team and the South Flame Continent team. Xiao Honglu plucked another hair and said, "However, Sauron is still unsure of the purpose and intent of the Fellowship of the Ring, and he may speculate that everyone will go to Minas Tirith, because if it were him, he would do the same." According to Sauron's mode of thinking, such an act would be extremely devastating to him, and the idea of destroying the Lord of the Rings probably would not come to his mind. ”
"And then there's Saruman, and admittedly, on the human and elf side, Isengard's defection must have been a blow to them. Saruman, who was the ruler and guide of the White Council, who represented justice, was extremely powerful, and in the original book, he threatened the Hussars of the Rohan Kingdom not to support Minas Tirith, so everyone could only watch as the evil forces invaded from the east. With Rohan and Minas Tirith besieged by an orc army, it is not an exaggeration to say that Saruman is to blame. ”
"But traitors are two-edged, and Saruman also has selfish intentions to snatch the Ring and keep it for himself, at least to capture a few hobbits to be driven by his evil plans. Therefore, under the deceit of Sauron and Saruman, the current situation is actually very delicate. ”
"It's subtle...... Are you planning to sow discord and let Sauron deal with Saruman?" asked Rogando with a strange look on his face.
"It's not impossible. But to Luo Gandao's surprise, Xiao Honglu replied with a serious face: "In fact, if it weren't for Minas Tirith being sandwiched between Isenger and Mordor, I would really implement this plan." But not now, because Minas Tirith is indeed an important strategic location, and Isengar cannot fight Mordor. If Minas Tirith falls, Saruman will probably die, and unless he obtains the Ring to have the power to fight against Sauron, he will follow the trail of the Ring. ”
In fact, according to the timeline in the novel, after Gandalf escaped, Saruman should have sent a strong orc force to track down Frodo and the others. But Saruman was not yet aware of his danger, and there were many things he was still kept in the dark, and our actions had probably alerted him. ”
"That...... It's useless for you to say so much, we are not Chu Xuan or Yang Yun, even if you say this, we can't understand it. Wang Xia smiled bitterly: "You are a wise man, you can decide the next thing." ”
"Is that so? Then I'll leave it at that. Xiao Honglu played with a hair, and he suddenly laughed and said, "First of all, I want to tell you a piece of information, although the T virus transformation liquid that Chu Xuan handed over to me is only eighty finished products, there are still hundreds of T virus that are multiplying rapidly. Even if there is no greenhouse environment in the main god space, its reproduction rate will be greatly reduced, but by now, the T virus in this space bag has already multiplied, and it is roughly estimated that there are at least five hundred copies. ”
"So many? Could it be that Chu Xuan meant to let us build an army?'s army of trackers?" Cheng Xiao said dumbfounded.
"Hehe, maybe, in fact, this is also a choice that Chu Xuan gave me, or is it a test?" Xiao Honglu's smile became more obvious: "What he means is nothing more than two things, one is to let us immediately rush to support them with a small number of trackers to enhance the combat power of the Central Continent team, and the other is to co-opt Saruman's orcs, and then transform them into trackers in large numbers to form an army, and then equip them with suitable armor and weapons, and eventually affect the entire battle situation......"
"So Xiao Honglu, what is your choice? Both options seem to be feasible. ”
"My choice......?"
Regarding Wang Xia's question, Xiao Honglu just smiled, then swallowed the centipede in his hand in a few bites, and set his eyes on the tower of Isenger......
