In the Golden Palace of Hiedon in the Kingdom of Rohan, where earlier he had fought with the remote-controlled white-robed Saruman, the Hussar King held a small reception for his guests from afar.

At this time, Eowyn, a member of the Io family and the niece of the Rohan Hussar King Heydon, was taking care of the two children for dinner.

This evening, the two children traveled all the way to Idoras on a horse, alone and delivered information to their king about the frontier to the northwestern part of Rohan.

Today's banquet was full of laughter and laughter, and it was very dull, after all, the king of Rohan had just woken up to find that a son had died, so it was impossible for him to celebrate the arrival of Gandalf and the others.

Therefore, the atmosphere here in this palace hall is not very good, and most of the people try to keep it quiet, not like a banquet at all.

Aragorn, who had eaten and drunk enough, was huddled in his seat with his arm and his pipe, and he did not know what he was thinking, but he glanced at the king's throne; The elven prince Leglas, on the other hand, was fiddling with his beloved bow and arrows, and today they were handed over to the guards, so he had to readjust them while he had time to make sure they didn't have problems in battle.

As for Gandalf, the pseudo-white-robed wizard, who was sitting side by side with the country Hiudon at the throne in the distance, the two seemed to be discussing something in a whisper, while Hiudon shook his head from time to time, showing a look of refusal, and it was obvious that the other party did not seem to agree with some of Gandalf's opinions.

Little Anne, who has no heart and lungs and eats the most, is very bored, she is playing with the building blocks with the leftover animal bones that she has eaten.

I don't know what she's been up to during this time, but when attention was drawn to her, the pile of bones, under her skillful hands, had already turned into a skeleton of bones in the shape of several orc soldiers armed with bone shields and bone blades.

"This sister, what are you doing here? What are they for? ”

The little girl who was one of the two herdsmen's children who had come to report the news was quickly attracted by Anne's actions, and after watching it for a while, the little girl, who was a little younger than Anne, couldn't help but ask.

"They're the orcs of that villain Saruman, and they can be used for fighting!"

After glancing up at the two dirty little kids opposite, Anne blinked and said nothing.

This is what she came up with out of boredom to use as a pastime and to kill time, after all, here in Middle-earth now, after eating enough at night, there doesn't seem to be any too fun pastime other than getting ready to sleep? So, she just built some bone blocks and went out to play!

"They can even fight?!"

Hearing Anne say this, the little girl of the herdsman didn't even care about eating half of the meal, so she directly propped up the long wooden table with her hands, and looked at the little strong orcs made of bones in amazement.

"Ahem! Little girl, don't believe her, it's just a few skeleton models, and you can't fight! ”

On the other side of the long table, the dwarf Golden Bolt was drinking to himself with a large ale barrel in one hand and a hardwood cup in the other.

He never cared about business, and after seeing the little witch trying to coax the simple little girl from someone else's house, he hurriedly corrected and shouted.

"Humph! Don't believe it, bearded! What would you do if they could actually fight?! ”

Originally, it was just a little trick for Anne to amuse herself, but after the bearded dwarf said this, she was a little more serious.

This bearded dwarf with no knowledge dares to question his own things? Wait, there will be a time when he regrets it!

"If you can get them moving, then I'll drink all this vat of ale in one gulp!"

Under the anger, Jin Li didn't even think about it, and directly patted the big wine barrel next to him and swore nonsense.

Although they were good drinkers, and they drank a lot of wine, if he really wanted to drink all the ale in this large barrel, he would have to be drunk and fall down!

"Very well, are you there? Now it's time to start playing! ”

Anne first sneered at the bearded dwarf, then at the barrel as tall as the other party, and then suddenly said slyly to a few skeleton models on the table.

As soon as Little Annie's words fell, something happened that made everyone feel stunned: on the long wooden table, the so-called strong orc models made of bones actually held their own bone shields and bone blade knives, and fought one-on-one on the long table.

They are stabbing you and kicking you; The blade slashes and the shield blocks it; It's just crackling on the long tabletop, and every now and then a bone or two arm or head will fly out?

“……”

Then, almost all eyes were drawn to Gandalf, who was muttering about things beside the throne in the distance, and King Siyodon, who was wearing a bandage around his head.

"This, this, this ......"

Seeing this, Jin Li's eyes were directly round!

He'd always thought that magic was meant for combat, like that kind of curse, fireball lightning, or something like the invisible rope that Saruman had used before?

Having never seen a wizard chess at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, how could he have imagined that magic could do something like what was happening at the long table right now?

"Alright! You've won! ”

His lips trembled for a while, and he estimated that the battle between the villains on the table would not end for a while, and he was willing to lose the bet, so he could only turn his head to look at the big barrel beside him, and stretched out his hand, grabbed the edge of the barrel and shook it vigorously.

Soon, there was a burst of 'poof' and 'poof' sound when the wine swayed, and it was obvious that this barrel of ale was almost full!

"Aragorn? Also, Legolas ......"

Thinking that a person might not be able to finish this barrel of ale, he could only look at his two partners with a plea for help, as if he wanted the two of them to share a part of it for themselves?

Unfortunately, Aragorn smiled and shook his head dryly, indicating that he had drunk enough! On the other side, Leglas, the elf who was neither good at nor drinking, pinned his head mercilessly.

"Brother, look!"

"Look! They can actually fight! ”

At this moment, the two children who came to report the news didn't care about eating their food, so they just lay on the table, as if they wanted to get closer and look more closely?

"That's it! Hurry up and eat your dinner, kids! ”

Wearing a delicate black brown-collared evening gown, Iowen glared at the little witch with dissatisfaction after taking a look at the little witch's trinkets, and then she hurriedly beckoned the two children to hurry up and continue eating.

Iowen didn't like the little witch very much, even if, earlier today, the little witch had just saved her uncle the king?

This is because when the other party was in the palace today, he punched her uncle Xiyouton, and the punch was too hard! She couldn't even imagine that the other party's small fist would have so much strength? It made the back of her uncle's head swollen with a big meat bag, and until now, Xiyoton still has to wrap it in bandages!

"Uncle! We, the people of Rohan, they have not received any alarm, and ...... Bare-handed! ”

Looking at Siyodon, who was still hesitant on the throne, Iowen didn't quite understand.

"The Barbarians of Denland, who have taken refuge in the evil white-robed wizard Saruman, have passed through the Rohan Pass and crossed the Western Valley, and they are on a long drive, burning and looting along the way, and no one will be spared......

"Uncle, it's time to decide! We have many of our people's settlements spread across the vast savannah, and once the barbarians continue to penetrate deeply, they will never let them go! ”

After beckoning the two children to continue eating, Iowen stood up and continued to persuade King Theodon on the throne. She herself hoped that her uncle would make a decision sooner to pick himself up and gather his soldiers to wage an all-out war against the evil Isengar and protect their Rohan people!

“……”

It's just that her uncle, still holding his forehead, is crooked on the throne, and does not say anything.

I don't know, he was because the little girl's fist hurt him too much? Or is it because after waking up from the shadow of the devil, he was not in a good mood after finding that his own son was killed? Or...... Is it the feeling of being devastated after discovering that the powerful Rohan Hussar Nation has become a mess?

"Trust me, King Heydon...... What we hear now is just the tip of the iceberg of Saruman's misdeeds! ”

"Once he clears the borders of Rohan, joins forces with the Demon Lord Sauron, and joins forces on the Anduin River, then it will be the most terrible thing!"

After one glance at Iowen, Gandalf joined the persuasion again.

Now that the kingdom of Gondor is under attack by Sauron's Mordor forces, Gandalf is confident that even with the Anduin River guards, they won't last long! A few days ago, he had heard the news that the eastern city of Osgillias had been captured by Mordor, and if the western city of Osgillias was also captured, the entire Anduin defense line of Gondor would be completely defeated!

When the time comes, Gondor's capital, Minas Tirith, will be completely exposed to the forces of Mordor's army!

And once Saruman's army cleared the borders of Rohan, joined forces with Mordor's forces on the Anduin River, and began to attack Gondor from the north on two fronts, then Middle-earth would be completely finished......

At that time, as long as the gods, those Eru or Vera do not intervene forcibly, then this Middle-earth world will really become the Demon Lord Sauron's final say! And the humans who rebelled against Mordor, elves or dwarves, except for the elves who could escape to Amen Continent, everyone else would be doomed!

"Heyorton, it's time to make up your mind! Gather your army, fight your enemies, and go head-to-head with Saruman's army! ”

"Don't let them continue to hurt your people and burn your pastures...... You have to go to fight as soon as possible! ”

Seeing that Heyudon seemed a little moved, Gandalf continued to push harder.

He intends to convince this hussar king once and for all! He believed that on the steppe, Saruman's orc army or the rabble barbarians would not be a match for Rohan's elite cavalry.

"At this moment, we still have more than 2,000 elite soldiers operating in the northwest direction, and although Iomo has been banished, he is still loyal to Rohan and to you, the king! He also knows that you are being controlled by the enemy! ”

"I'm sure that as soon as you summon you, he and his soldiers will come back and fight for the king!"

At this time, Aragorn, who was smoking a pipe on the side, also joined in the persuasion, they had seen Iomo with their own eyes when they were looking for the hobbit, and they probably knew the temperament of the Rohan general.

"Nope! Iomo and them are three hundred leagues away from here, and they can't come back in time, it's too far......"

"Even if they are all cavalry, at such a distance, even if they send people out to find them now, it will definitely be too late to rush back here! So, Iomo...... He can't help us! ”

No one knew better than the cavalry-proficient Siyodon how long it would take for the cavalry to reach the royal capital, so he did not support fighting the mixed army of Saruman here in the capital of Idoras, because there was no danger to defend here!

Moreover, the most important thing is that due to Grima's misdeeds during this time, there are not many warriors to fight here in Idoras now, and Xiyodon knows that the little strength they have left will definitely not be able to insist on reinforcements coming here!

"Nope! Gandalf, you don't need to say more......"

After pacing the hall for a while, Heudon quickly stretched out his hand to stop the old wizard who was about to step forward and continue to persuade him.

"I know what you came to save me! I know you have expectations for me! ”

"However, this time ...... Here in Edoras, the capital of King Rohan, there is so much going on! I will not inflict any more casualties on my people! I won't let them down on me again! I'm not going to risk going to war again......"

If everything was in the heyday of King Rohan's capital, then it was not said, and Xiudon would definitely dare to lead his troops out and play a hard-fought field battle with Saruman's infantry on the grassland!

"It's useless to run away, Siyodon!"

"Saruman's war on Middle-earth has begun, and they will come to you whether you want to risk it or not!"

Seeing that Theudon was still hesitant, Aragorn had to speak in a more serious tone.

"Oh? As far as I know, the king of the Rohan Kingdom is I, Hiyodon, not you, Aragorn! So, I can't challenge my decision! ”

If it weren't for the other party's contribution to saving himself, maybe Xiyuton would have kicked out this group of guys who tried to interfere in Rohan's internal affairs and his own decisions!

Don't these people think about their identity?

A sorcerer, a titular heir to the king, plus a dwarf and a prince who will certainly not be involved in the war, how useful will these four be to the war that is about to take place?

If one of them is a lord with thousands of elite soldiers, then he Heyuton will definitely respect their opinion! Otherwise, they should keep their mouths shut sooner.

"What is your final decision, King Theydon?!"

Gandalf sighed, stood up and approached Sheydon, asking slowly.

The situation is now clear, Saruman's mixed army is crushing, and there are only three options left for Heydon: surrender? This is destined to be destroyed by the destruction of the country, presumably he Hussar King will not choose this; And if it was a frontal war, he had just sternly refused; In the end, that's all that remains to escape from this option, right?

However, Gandalf felt that escaping was nothing more than a way to survive, and that it would do no good for the war in Middle-earth! Instead of that, take the plunge and have a head-to-head battle with Saruman! After all, on the grassland, the cavalry that comes and goes like the wind still has an advantage over the infantry, right?

“……”

Heydon was silent for a moment, he first closed his eyes, and after a short while, he suddenly opened them suddenly. However, just as he was about to announce his final decision, an untimely voice sounded again, rudely interrupting what he was about to say.

"I almost forgot, if you're trying to fight that villain Saruman, maybe I can help!"

It turned out that it was little Annie who suddenly interjected just now?

Just now, when she had watched a wizarding game performed by the little bones in a boring way, and once again she had nothing to do, and when she heard the group discussing the war, she suddenly remembered that her army of the United Kingdom of Alicia seemed to be almost beyond the borders of the Rohan Kingdom, right?

So, Anne felt that she herself seemed to be really helping! It's just that you can't help this Rohan country in vain, you have to pay some price for this kingdom!

"It's ...... you"

Turning around suspiciously, when Xiyoton saw this little witch who punched herself and successfully saved herself, she couldn't help but wonder a little, this little girl, what can she do to help herself?

Could it be that she was trying to use her strange magic? But is magic really that powerful in large-scale battles? Can you still influence a battle? Anyway, Heudon was still skeptical about whether magic could influence the tide of battle.

"Anne ......"

At the same time, Gandalf also looked at the little girl nervously and quickly shook his head.

His meaning is also obvious, that is: no large-scale magic is allowed to help them in mortal warfare, no fire demons, and no release of the bear named Tibbs!

"I have a country called the United Kingdom of Alicia! My men, they're so bad! ”

Little Anne, who didn't know where to find a bottle of drink, said vaguely while drinking.

"Wait, you just said Alicia United Kingdom...... I'm sorry, little Annie, why don't I seem to have ever heard of this name? ”

Gandalf thought about it seriously, and searched several times from his memories of cultivating Middle-earth for more than 2,000 years, and then he was finally convinced that there was no such so-called United Kingdom of Alicia here in Middle-earth!

This, it can't be that this little girl made it up temporarily, right? Don't provoke this Xiyuton hussar king later, after all, now the other party is in the pain of losing his son and the anger of the near destruction of the country, and he can't listen to persuasion, let alone others to ridicule him!

"Of course you haven't heard of it! Because, I just founded it not long ago! ”

Little Anne rolled her eyes in annoyance, she thought it would be strange if Gandalf's gang had really heard of it!

Her kingdom of Alicia was created when they were just embarking on the Fellowship of the Ring! Moreover, the time of development was also in the more than two months that the other party escorted the Lord of the Rings on the way. And now, they have been wandering around the Rohan Kingdom east of the Misty Mountains, and they certainly won't know what is happening in the west, north of the Swan River.

At this time, Anne felt that her Alician Kingdom army should have almost reached the vicinity of Isengard, right? If they're too slow, she'll be angry!

"Founded not long ago? When, exactly! ”

Gandalf was still puzzled that he had been able to create a kingdom not long ago...... Surely this isn't a joke? Before them, the date they were separated from this little girl in Rivendell seems to be less than three months, right? How did she get a kingdom out of it?

By the way, there is also the old dwarf Gloyin who I met when I was in Rivinedell, at the beginning, the other party swore to himself that it was this little girl, and she would definitely not mess around?!

"It was when you went to the Fellowship of the Ring! Not...... I'll do the math, yes, on the third day of your departure! ”

Anne crossed her fingers and did the math, and soon came up with the exact time.

Although she had long forgotten the exact date, she knew that it would take them three days to get to the outside of Bray and take the town after leaving Rivendell.

"Our Lord of the Rings Expedition seems to have been gone for more than two months, right? In such a short time, you can build a United Kingdom?! ”

Gandalf still thinks it's a little incredible, can this little kid really do things like this?

It's only been more than two months, what can you do in such a little time? In Gandalf's calculations, if he had traveled slowly from the capital of Gondor to Rivendell, more than two months would have been just enough time to get there, right?

"More than two months is less? That's been a long time! ”

Anne pouted dissatisfied, you know, in the Kpru Star Zone, more than two months is almost enough for her to plan and occupy the entire Star Zone!

And now, she is nothing more than a small United Kingdom with a population of only a few hundred thousand, so what is there to make a fuss about? A group of uninformed guys, because they are still so old, are still so shocked, it's really useless!

“……”

Gandalf didn't even know what to say now, he felt like he wasn't feeling well.

Think about himself, it took him more than two thousand years to slowly guide humans and other intelligent beings to develop in the direction that the Vera wanted, but now, this little girl, in just over two months, founded a kingdom, is it so efficient?

"Really? So where exactly is your country? Uh......"

Before Jin Li could open his mouth to ask, he burped a big wine.

Obviously, he's a little too drunk, and now his eyes are about to turn cross-eyed! And the barrel of ale that was almost full before, he barely drank a small half, and it is estimated that there will be a long time before he drinks it all.

"Charles, of course!"

"The present towns of Bray, Ystad, Metris, Annuminas, Vernost, and the Swan River valley are already the territory of my United Kingdom of Alicia!"

After thinking about it, and connecting with the magical messages she had recently received from Orfina to herself, Anne quickly came up with a long list of place names. According to the time, Orfina and her army should have arrived near Isenger on time, right?

"Wait! If I'm not mistaken, those places you just talked about seem to be the territory of the Illyadian Free Council?! ”

Aragorn was really a little unsettled now, so he hurriedly asked out loud.

In fact, what he wanted to say was more: those places should be his territory in Aragon! Her so-called United Kingdom of Alicia can't go and occupy his home, he is the rightful king of the Kingdom of Arno! He is the great chief of the Dendans!

It was the territory of the Free Council of Illyad, and in the past, it was all the inherent territory of the Kingdom of Arno! That's the territory that should have belonged to him in Aragon!

"Illyad? But it's not theirs anymore! It's mine now! ”

As far as Anne knew, the Illad's Free Council had been dissolved for a long time!

Some of them directly joined the parliament of the United Kingdom of Alicia, and some of them became wealthy landlords, while the other part of them were simply killed by those who didn't know what to do!

"Be quiet, please! Now, these inconsequential matters, you may not discuss them here in my palace for now! ”

After glancing at Gandalf and Aragorn disapprovingly, Theudon looked at the little witch who had just said that he could help him.

"What I want to know, Lord Anne Witch, is: how can your so-called United Kingdom of Alicia help us? Or maybe it can help us! ”

Staring at the little girl sitting on a wooden chair dangling her feet, Hiudon asked with a serious expression.

That's what he Xiyuton cares about.

After all, they are now isolated here in Idoras! And the entire Rohan Hussar Country is in a dangerous life-and-death situation, and if you are not careful, you are likely to enter a desperate situation of extinction!

It would be best if a powerful foreign aid could come and lead a large army to save Rohan now.

As for whether the United Kingdom of Alicia had occupied the territory of Aragon or the territory of the elves, he didn't want to pay attention to it!

"Well, you'd better talk to Orfina yourself!"

After thinking about it a little more seriously, Anne felt that there were some things that it would be better for Orfina to talk to this cunning-looking old man king in person, so that they would not suffer!

After saying that, she directly waved her hand and used a spell similar to the communication magic she used when she invaded the True Knowledge Crystal before, creating a large magic light curtain directly in this Rohan palace.

"Crooked? Orfina, are you there?! ”

Then, when the others were curious or surprised, Anne called out into the light curtain.

In the next second, the magic light curtain lit up, and then a young woman sitting on the main seat of the tent, dressed in golden armor, and with a huge white vulture flag with gold trim on a red background and gold trim behind her, appeared inside.

"See my lord!"

Seeing the magic light curtain appearing in front of her, Orfina quickly stood up and respectfully performed a solemn salute to little Anne.

"What do you command?!"

Orfina felt a little strange, on weekdays, when there was something to do, this little master of hers would directly summon the matter, but why did she have to have a conversation in the form of a magical meeting so seriously today?

Then, Orfina began to stand up straight, looking suspiciously at the opposite side of the magic light curtain, and she saw that there were humans, dwarves, and elves on the other side? It seems, there is also a wizard who is not too weak?

“……”

"Oh...... Is she an elf? Younger, more beautiful than Galadriel, and more charming......"

The dwarf Jin Li, who was drinking, his eyes widened again at this moment, and then, he fell straight down and began to fall asleep, obviously, he was really drunk, and thought that he had hallucinated just now!

In fact, not only him, but now in the hall of the entire Rohan Kingdom, except for little Anne herself, almost everyone looks straight, they can't imagine that there is such a character in the world!

“……”

Unlike the others' astonishment, Gandalf stared in confusion and shock at the woman in gold armor across the magic light curtain.

As Maia, although his ability has been greatly limited, his vision and insight have not deteriorated.

So, of course, he could see that the woman in front of him was not an elf, nor a human, or even any kind of creature in Middle-earth or Amen!

When he first saw this woman, Gandalf almost thought that the other party was the existence summoned from the outside world by Little Annie's dishonest little child!

However, when he looked closely, he found that this being, which was almost as powerful as or even more than ordinary Maia, actually had a strong Middle-earth aura on his body?

Gandalf was puzzled, in addition to feeling the powerful power of the other party, he also felt another kind of holiness and immensity! With that kind of powerful vitality and light power, Gandalf will never be mistaken!

Because, that was the beginning of the birth of Middle-earth, and it was the breath of the two twin sacred trees before Arda was round and curling......

How could they possibly appear in this strange woman?

He Gandalf is sure that there is definitely no such No. 1 woman in Amen Continent! The other party is by no means Maia created by the gods! So, where did she come from?

"Here's the thing: this is Heydon, the king of Rohan, and he seems to want to ask for help from our United Kingdom of Alyca! So...... Forget it, you might as well talk to him yourself. ”

After saying a few words and explaining it clearly, Anne stepped aside on her own, she didn't want to care about these troublesome things! Anyway, she was confident that Orfina would handle it well.

"I see......"

After bowing slightly to Anne, who had turned to leave, Orfina turned to look at Sheudun, who was still a little surprised.

"So, you are the king of Heydon of the Rohan Hussars? Tell me, what conditions do you have that will allow me to send an army to rescue you? ”

Holding a beautiful sword at her waist, Orfina looked majestically across the magic screen at the frowning Theudon.

"By the way, I'm giving you two pieces of information for free, and the good news is: our army of more than 6,000 is now blocking the gates of Isengard, and they have no way to send more troops to your Rohan territory for the time being!"

Seeing the joy on the face of the Hussar King of Hiudun, Orfina smiled and said the next message.

"And the bad news: at least 10,000 heavily armed orcs have advanced into your Rohan's territory, and of course, the Denland barbarians who haven't had time to be wiped out by us? They estimate that there are at least twenty or thirty thousand people?! ”

After seeing that Xiyouton's originally good-looking face turned pale again, Orfina knew that her purpose had been achieved!

In this upcoming negotiation, the United Kingdom of Alicia has completely taken the initiative! If this king of Rohan does not want to destroy the country and exterminate the species, she believes that after a while, the other party will be honest.

Actually, she still has some things that she hasn't said explicitly, that is: although their army is indeed blocked from the gate of Isenger, the fact is that neither side can help the other for the time being!

The strong orc army that rushed out of Isengar could quickly be directly beaten back by their muskets and cannons, and if their army dared to get close to the attack range of Isengard's mage tower, it would be easy to receive the opponent's magic attack, so they had been confronting the white-robed wizard Saruman here before little Anne contacted Ofina.

And the arrogant white-robed wizard Saruman didn't order the army of strong orcs who had penetrated deep into the territory of Arhat to return at all, his intention was already obvious, that is, he wanted to destroy Rohan first and respond to Mordor's attack, and then go back to clean up their kingdom of Alicia?

Anyway, in the eyes of the white-robed wizard Saruman, no matter how powerful the guns of the United Kingdom of Alicia are, they can't help his Esinger!

This is indeed the case, in Ou Feina's opinion, the other party's Ozark Mage Tower and the white-robed wizard are really too difficult to deal with together! The range of their 'Nemesis' cannon is actually no longer than the range of the opponent's mage tower.

“……”

After listening to the two pieces of news from the other party, Xiyuton didn't speak immediately, he just looked down at the ground, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Say it...... What do you want to do to send troops to rescue our Rohanate?! ”

After a long moment, he took a deep breath, and then, the hussar king of Rohan, Heyodon, asked word by word to the charming and cunning queen on the other side of the magic light curtain.

He knew that with the current strength of the Rohan Nation, it would definitely not be able to deal with an army of 10,000 strong orcs and at least 20,000 or 30,000 Denland barbarians! Even if Saruman gave himself plenty of time to summon soldiers slowly, his current Rohan Kingdom would definitely not be able to muster thousands of cavalry!

"On reflection, our request is actually very simple......

Looking at each other's expressions, Orfina knew that today, their purpose had been achieved.
