The Black Gate Fortress, the guardian of the Black Land, the gateway to the Black Land, and the only way to the Black Land.

After half a month of fighting, the last stronghold of Mordor on the Black Gate was also captured, the noisy Black Gate finally quieted down, countless coalition soldiers stood on the ruins of the Black Gate and cheered loudly, they stood in groups of three or five on the ruins, constantly waving their hands or weapons, the countless large troops in the rear lined up in a wide front and continued to move forward, and the airship troops in the air also began to move forward, after a hundred years, the Black Land finally appeared in the eyes of outsiders again.

Lelouch stood on top of an Alduin airship, the living conditions of the airship were much better, there was no reason to move with the infantry on the ground, countless soldiers were advancing, according to the feedback of the reconnaissance force, Mordor's main force had already gone to the Black Tower half a month ago, the heart of Mordor, it seems that Mordor was preparing to fight to the death with the coalition forces in the Black Tower, but the coalition forces didn't think that Mordor's approach had any effect on the coalition forces, the Black Gate could not be defended, and the Black Tower would definitely be able to hold it?

"Mordor is also confused now, giving up such a good black gate to guard the black tower, isn't this taking off his pants and farting?"

Harold sat in his seat with a big grin, the supreme commanders of the three coalition forces all sat on the airship, the battle with Mordor has proved the absolute safety of the airship, unless it is under the city of the Black Tower, the three commanders should always stay on the airship, Harold is full of ambition at this time, who is the most suitable person to live in this Heidi? Of course it is an orc, uh, but down, but they are dwarves.

Although the sacred mountains of the dwarves are huge, stable, and have many mineral deposits, they may be too stable, so there are very few high-level mineral deposits, but the black land is different, the black land has a large number of high-level minerals and geothermal resources, and the dwarves have touched the threshold of the industrial revolution, but just like the Lelouch people, the dwarves have not completely embarked on the industrial development path of the earth, they have seen another development path, that is, geothermal energy.

It's not that the dwarves are completely devoid of magic technology, but they are very weak and never pay attention to it, but it is impossible for the development of the Terran Magic Academy to hide from everyone, so the dwarves and elves actually secretly conduct related magic research, such as the rune technology of the dwarves, rune technology is more like: circuit diagram!

And in such research, the dwarves have discovered a new resource that can be used as a source of energy: geothermal!

In fact, this technology is still inspired by the black hand, the black hand is relying on geothermal heat to add obsidian armor to Kelgan, and the geothermal energy is continuously blessed into Kelgan's body, and finally there is a lot of transition to Lelouch's body, the dwarf is not stupid, or the IQ is very high and the EQ is slightly low, so the dwarf knows very well that as the smallest number of people, they have to rely on the power of science and technology more than any force, if the geothermal technology is really successful, then the dwarf may really rely on rune technology and geothermal energy to develop a new industrial civilization, a new civilization of steampunk and earth industrial technology that is different from the Middle-earths.

So Harold attaches great importance to the black land, those volcanoes that are useless in the eyes of the Terrans and the elves are the endless power of the glorious future that the dwarves can see, so Harold refers to the black land, now it seems that the Terrans and the elves have no meaning for the black land, what the elves need now is to digest the inland sea and the wood spirit servants as soon as possible, and migrate the forest on a large scale in the inland sea, and the current land of the human race is enough, the God-given land, the central province, In the Fog Ash Province, three huge pieces of land have greatly diluted the population of the Terrans, and what the Terrans need now is not land but the explosion of population and the full construction of steampunk.

Therefore, the coalition knows that in the future, the black land is most likely the world of dwarves, although there are few dwarves, but this harsh environment may be more suitable for dwarves.

Harold has been carefully protecting the dwarves' rune technology and geothermal technology, one of these two technologies comes from the distant dwarf legends, and the other comes from the latest industrial research, Harold has been counting on these two technologies to create super powerful combat power for the dwarves, naturally he will not say it everywhere, the same way, the dwarves also believe that the elves must also have hidden means, the elves' research on magic, especially ancient magic, should be the most powerful civilization in the entire Middle Earth, although the elves are extremely rejecting industrial technology, but the elves are also trying to accept some industrial technology, after all, as long as it is not destroying the forest, the elves can still bear to accept it。

Now only the technology and power of the human race are completely displayed in the eyes of outsiders, but there is no way, the human race wants a strong large-scale industrial revolution is inevitable, and it is very difficult to completely cover up their own information, so they are simply very generous, anyway, when the unique civilization of dwarves or elves is also hatched, they will definitely not be able to cover it up, unless they are completely isolated from the outside world.

"Let the troops camp in the area ten miles outside the Black Tower after entering the Black Land, and in addition, the railway in the rear must continue to expand, the logistics line must be maintained, and the reinforcements must be brought in as soon as possible. ”

Lelouch stood on the battleship and gave orders to the staff officers around him, Harold and Estelle sat in the back and did not intervene, the Terrans are now the well-deserved leaders, and this air fleet alone is enough for the dwarves and elves not to dare to make any changes, so he also happily handed over the command, Lelouch looked at the boundless army spreading under his feet and continued:

"In addition, to spread out the cavalry, at least twenty miles around the troops, and, to tell the whole army, after arriving at the destination, the whole army will have a seven-day rest. ”

After Lelouch finished speaking, he returned to his seat, and Estelle next to him smiled and complimented slightly:

"The Human Emperor is worthy of being a peerless talent of the Human Race once in a century, and this battle is arranged in an orderly manner. ”

Estelle's words, Lelouch just smiled and coped with them, this kind of unnutritious words were mainly to show politeness and politeness.

The three supreme leaders watched the troops move forward in the air, and on the ground, the morale of the coalition soldiers continued to advance, even the black gate was knocked down, the small size of the black tower may not need the coalition army to wait behind, directly with a large area of artillery bombardment can be completely blown up, the volume of the black tower is much smaller, the salvo of tens of thousands of artillery pieces is enough to make the black tower fall into the artillery fire, so the entire coalition army is extremely optimistic about this, and even many people think that the war can be regarded as over, and the rest is only a dead armed march。

On the mountain behind the Black Gate, a team of scouting soldiers sat on a mountain wall to rest, there were dwarves and humans in it, and there were also a few elves, and the coalition commander found that this cooperation in the scouting team could greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the squad, two elven scouts, three dwarven musketeers and four all-round soldiers of the human race, the team could be said to have taken care of almost everything.

A dwarf sat on the edge of the cliff, holding a smoking gun, took a beautiful puff of cigarette, pointed to the vast black ground in front of him, and said with a smile:

"When the black ground is laid, I want the whole family to move over, find a small hill to settle down, and then give birth to a bunch of dwarves, and then invite you to come to my house as a guest, and make you dwarf sweet bread to eat, um~ That mountain is good, you can install a steam engine on the periphery, stretch out a chimney out, and you can also plant some cave mushrooms and raise some fish under the ground. ”

"Oh, yes old man, you're going to have to raise the roof a little bit when the time comes, or we don't want to come out with a bag on top of it. ”

A human soldier laughed, and the dwarf looked annoyed: "Oh, that's how the dwarf's home is, the cozy igloo, the warm campfire, a bunch of dwarfs who never know what quiet is, and a sturdy female dwarf with a cauldron lid yelling at you. ”

After the dwarf finished speaking, he fell into a good memory, the dwarf lived like this a hundred years ago, but now it seems to have become the most distant memory, the human race and the elves looked at each other and did not disturb his good dream, because this good dream has been so close to them, as long as the black tower is taken again, Mordor will be finished, and the coalition will definitely drive the orcs to the farther part of the black land, the black land is close to the rich belt on this side of Middle-earth, it will belong to the dwarves.

"Okay, let's go, climb up the hill and if there is no problem, we will go back to report. ”

At the urging of the Terran captain, the team began to move forward again, with an elf walking at the front, an elf walking at the back, and the Terran and dwarves walking in the middle, just like this squad, the entire coalition army was filled with a relaxed atmosphere, they were talking and laughing, this was not like a war, but like an armed march, Lelouch also felt this, so he proposed to rest for seven days after arriving at the destination, these seven days are really resting, but also to regain the fighting spirit of the soldiers, and the proud soldiers will be defeated! Lelouch didn't want to waste his efforts.

Just when the coalition forces continued to come towards the Black Tower, the remaining main forces of Mordor were constantly fighting in the Black Tower, the originally smooth black tower under the large square was full of temporary buildings at this time, countless Mordor soldiers came and went in it, and the tall city wall outside the Black Tower was also being thickened, they had now seen the fierce firepower of the coalition army, and the thin wall of the Black Tower really made them unable to afford any possibility of being able to defend.

And at the very top of the Black Tower, a group of Mordor high-ranking people were kneeling in front of a crystal coffin dressed in linen and filial piety, and in it lay the emaciated body of the Great Lord of Mordor who had once brought endless fear to all of Middle-earth.

"Alright, everyone is done worshipping, and let's go out and discuss some serious things. ”

Karui was very unceremonious to let people out after a while, in Kalu's opinion, these people are the culprits that led to Mordor's current crisis, if it weren't for the excessive power of those people in the Great Shaman Alliance, then it would not have been so much that Mordor fell to such a point, the civil war in recent years can almost be said to have completely consumed most of Mordor's strength, which directly led to Mordor's current strength is unprecedentedly weak, in the face of a million coalition troops, there are only less than two million who can take it out to meet the enemy, which is unimaginable for Mordor, and it has only been less than five years, who would have thought that Mordor would decline to such a point five years ago？

Outside the Black Tower, a group of high-level officials sat together and discussed how to prepare to meet the enemy next, to be honest, the Black Tower's defense facilities are really far inferior to the Black Gate, if Mordor is willing to fight a decisive battle with the coalition forces in the Black Gate, the coalition forces will definitely suffer heavy losses, but the final result will definitely be the complete destruction of Mordor, so Mordor did not fight to the death in the Black Gate, they still decided to save their living strength and wait for the chance to win, and this opportunity, let go of the Black Tower, the meeting began for a long time without anyone speaking, and finally a big shaman spoke:

"Let's not sit around like this, let's get down to business, there's nothing to hide about this situation now, Karui, you just say it, what magic means does this black tower have!"

The words of the great shaman made Kalu's face expressionless, although he was very unhappy to let them know these things that should only be known to him, but if he didn't make it clear how to fight next? Could it be that you just say that you do what I say, and leave the rest to me? Please, don't take out this kind of low-IQ bridge, if it were you, would you do it? Even if you are forced to do it, you will definitely not do it with all your strength, even if you do it with all your strength, how can you do what the other party really thinks in their hearts.

If you don't make it clear, it's all about sending you to death, and the development of modern military is also to let the soldiers below know as much as possible what their tasks are, what their support is, the strengths of their weapons, and so on.

Karui sighed, and said slowly:

"Don't look at this black tower, but in fact, this black tower is the most powerful fortress in the entire Middle Earth!"

The Great Shaman didn't speak, because they were waiting for Karui to continue, Karui must have said this for his reasons, and sure enough, Karui's next words made the Great Shaman's eyes widen incredulously, and at the same time, an excited smile appeared on his face, and the hope of victory.

"Therefore, in addition to the above necessary defensive means, the Black Tower still has a strong offensive means, although it can only be singled, but as long as we can defeat the human emperor, the coalition will definitely retreat, and even the Terrans will have civil strife, and when the time comes, we will have another chance. ”

"Okay, just do what Lord Karui said, first rely on the absolute defense of the Maharaja to defend, and then find an opportunity to kill the Emperor Lu Lu Xiu in one fell swoop!"
