Isengard, on top of the towering Ozark Tower, the white-robed wizard Saruman is in his mage tower at this time, using the Crystal Ball of True Knowledge and the Eye of Sauron in the Tower of Mordor Barado to conduct routine contact and military information sharing.

While Saruman was reporting to Sauron's Eye on Isengard's combat readiness and military dynamics, he was also secretly observing the orc forces under Mordor Sauron's command and silently comparing the gap between the two sides.

"Fusion ...... is happening in Middle-earth"

"Now, who else can stop the armies of Isengar and Mordor?!"

Saruman held one hand on top of the crystal ball of true knowledge, silently maintaining his magic output, and at the same time closing his eyes to communicate spiritually with the evil eye of the demon lord Sauron.

Of course, he didn't forget to secretly observe Mordor's combat readiness through another crystal ball of true knowledge far away in the Valado Tower.

Then, he saw through the crystal ball: a phalanx of heavily armed orcs was walking out of the fortress of Barado shouting slogans, and they were passing through the long black bridge of Barado, constantly moving in the direction of the distant Mount Doom, presumably preparing to turn around to the Minas Cave and participate in the all-out attack on the kingdom of Gondor to the west.

Their numbers, seemingly endless, crossed the Valado Bridge one after another, looking like swarms of black man-eating ants!

Saruman secretly calculated before, if calculated according to the number of nearly one hundred and fifty people in each phalanx, almost all of the things he saw during the time he was in contact with Sauron had exceeded more than ten thousand?

That's remarkable!

Here in the main world of Middle-earth in this age of cold weapons, this desperate number of armies is sometimes, it is equivalent to nearly half the number of citizens of a small human nation, right?

"And the Demon Lord Sauron and my white-robed Saruman? And...... The power of our Twin Towers Alliance? ”

Seeing this, although he praised it, Saruman was actually secretly frightened.

Because, he found, it seems that Sauron's military power is far stronger than his own? That's bad! It is not good for the balance between the two forces, and it is not good for the future, after the unification of Middle-earth, he Saruman will have more say in the new order!

"Demon Lord Sauron, as long as we join forces, I believe ...... We'll be able to dominate Middle-earth! ”

Therefore, thinking of this, Saruman had to remind Sauron once again that the two of them are actually in a relationship of mutual cooperation and cooperation, and they will never become the dominant side because the strength of the other party's army is more and stronger!

The reason why he Saruman turned his back on Orri, the god of the earth, to cooperate with Sauron was that he was ready to gain enough benefits, and he was not a servant or a clown who came to be a servant or a clown waving flag!

"Nonsense! It will be me who can unify Middle-earth, both of your armies are too backward, and you will be beaten if you are backward! ”

Suddenly, to Saruman's surprise and the Demon Lord Sauron, who was chatting with him remotely, there was a human girl-like face that suddenly inserted into the communication screen between the two sides without warning.

Then they found that this little girl, and the faint rows of human soldiers behind her, seemed to be shouting and plating, as if they were attacking some walled city?!

"Is that you? I know you......"

"Little Witch...... All nine of my ringlings were killed once! I wasted a lot of strength to resurrect them......"

"You, you're going to pay for it!!"

After seeing that it was this little girl who eavesdropped on the conversation between the two of them, in the picture, Sauron's evil eye suddenly frantically erupted into even more violent flames, and began to exude strong coercion and strong spiritual willpower, as if he wanted to use this way to control or soak this little girl's mind?

However...... He soon realized that his means of dominating the enemy seemed to have failed?

Because, no matter how hard he tried, except for Saruman's expression on the side, which became more and more nervous, and was sweating profusely, as if he had been affected a lot, the little girl, she was still smiling and grinning before, and she was still glaring at him angrily?

"I know you too! Aren't you the poor big lich with only one eyeball left? ”

After seeing the other party glaring at her fiercely, Anne also grimaced and glared back mercilessly.

"At that time, it was obviously your subordinates who came to provoke me first, and they blamed me for being killed by me?"

"Also, you don't have to waste your useless mental power, don't think that your eyes are big and you can stare people to death! With the deterrence of your spiritual will alone, even if you stare at it for 10,000 years, you will definitely not be able to do it......"

Little Anne was still laughing heartlessly, how could she be affected by the other party's little mental coercion? That's absolutely non-existent!

You know, she is not only a powerful arcane mage, but also a transcendent being who has touched the knowledge of the gods, so she is not the kind of mortal who is weak-willed or has low soul strength!

So, in Anne's opinion, this little trick of the other party is just a trick played by children, and it is purely a waste of magic?

"Humph! A little witch of unknown origin ......"

"What exactly are you snooping on the conversation between me and Saruman this time?! Do you also have another crystal ball of true knowledge in your hand? ”

After discovering that his means were indeed beyond the slightest hint of the other party, Sauron's evil eye simply withdrew his hand, and then let his magic eye gradually shrink and return to normal, and at the same time began to stare at the little human girl who appeared in the crystal of true knowledge.

Why this little witch was able to invade their crystals, Sauron was a little puzzled.

Although their Middle-earth world has a transcendent existence like the creation god Eru and a large group of Veramaiya, however, the magical civilization does not seem to have gained much development, even if it is as strong as them Maia, it is to throw a big fireball or play lightning or something like that, and more often, they still prefer to go into battle shirtless and play melee combat?

Otherwise, there would not have been a situation where his demon lord Sauron carried a large mace and drove a peerless among the combined forces of humans and elves, and then accidentally overturned, and was cut off alive with the ring finger by the human king with a broken sword!

Therefore, when he found out that the little girl could invade their crystal, the first thing that came to Sauron's mind was: The other party is likely to have a crystal ball of true knowledge in his hand?

You know, the Crystal of True Knowledge and the Elven Diamond were both created by the greatest Elf Fino of the Twin Tree Period, there are only seven in total, and it can be said that they are one of the unique treasures of Middle-earth!

Of the known crystals of true knowledge, Sauron only knew that there were four!

Among them, Sauron's one was transferred to his Balado Tower in 2002 when his subordinate Ringwraith captured Minas Isir, and began to be used by Sauron, allowing him to monitor the entire Middle-earth!

The other one, which is located on top of the Ozark Tower in Isengard, has been controlled by Saruman until now;

The third one had been kept with the High Elves of the Noldor tribe, Elotirian, who were very cautious and rarely used it, and Sauron had never been in contact with the crystal.

And the fourth, Minas Tirith, which has always been placed in the capital of Gondor, has completely destroyed Dinethor II, the regent of the human kingdom of Gondor!

The remaining three, the largest of the main hedrons, had tumbled down into the Anduin River during the war and were missing...... The other two had long since been carried by the last Emperor of Arno, Yafan, to flee by boat, and after the wreck and sinking of the frozen bay of Frochel, they were never seen again!

So, Sauron wondered a little, how did this little girl suddenly get into the middle of his conversation with Saruman? Could it be that she also has a crystal ball of true knowledge in her hand? Even, maybe the biggest one that rolled down into the Anduin?

"Huh? What a mess of crystal balls? What kind of thing do you communicate with? ”

"I'm actually on this side of the White Goose River right now! It's not too far from that Isinger! ”

"And you are so blatantly engaged in ultra-long-distance communication, and the mana fluctuation is so large, of course I can find out! What do you think? Aren't they super powerful? ”

Anne was smug, but unfortunately, the white-bearded old man Saruman and the great lich who were staring at her were only the soul evil eye, and they obviously didn't have time to play with the little girl, so they were just staring at each other coldly.

"Well, you two are really boring!"

Looking at the indifference on the faces of the two, Anne could only pout her lips in boredom.

"People are just here to take a sneak peek at your strength! I found out that you two are really foul! You see, one of them has so much spice! And the other one, even being pinching people to play?! ”

Anne had just seen the furnace under Saruman Isenger from the two crystals of true knowledge, in which countless orcs were forging armor and weapons, and then there were countless powerful orcs transformed by magic, which were being mass-produced by the other party, just what she saw, the combined armies of the two of them were estimated to be tens of thousands, right?

And now at this time, what about her Alicia United Kingdom? It is estimated that all the musketeers combined, only about a thousand?

"Oh? Then after you see our strength, do you want to join us too? ”

Sauron seemed to see some army behind the little girl, and then, he quickly made up his mind.

"Trust me, little witch, your personal prowess has been recognized by me! If you join us in our great cause, I think we will be able to rule Middle-earth more easily! ”

"When the time comes, I can even set aside a portion of the land so that you and your men can enjoy the supreme rights of Middle-earth! Then, even the true gods of Amen will be jealous of the power we have......"

"What do you think of my suggestion?"

Sauron's evil eye began to tempt the little girl, thinking that Saruman had joined them after seeing his unrivaled strength in Mordor.

"Nope! This proposal is not good at all! ”

Without even thinking about it, Anne quickly shook her head.

"I think it's better to do this: both of you, if you both swear to me now, I won't beat you again! What do you think of my suggestion? ”

How could Anne possibly choose to join them? One of the other parties is an old man with a white beard, and the other is an evil eye lich with only a soul left, and her appearance is too low, so she won't go with them!

And if they surrendered themselves and became their own subordinates or dogs, then little Anne could have made a little concession and reluctantly accepted these two ugly-looking guys?

"Humph! You'll regret it! ”

After knowing that he was being watched and played by this little witch, the evil eye Sauron snorted coldly, and directly turned off the True Knowledge Crystal on his side, completely cutting off the communication.

“……”

Then, Saruman, who had not been able to speak, stared at the little girl silently for a while, and did not know what to think, and quickly cut off his mana output, causing the True Crystal in the Orzak Tower to turn back into a black crystal ball without any image.

"Crooked? Anyone else? I haven't finished my sentence yet...... It's boring! ”

Outside the walls of Sabad, on the north bank of the Swan River, after watching the magical communication in front of her turn gray again, and no longer seeing the slightest sight on the other side, little Anne had no choice but to muttered to her spell and disperse her spell.

She finally found two powerful guys to chat with and relieve boredom or something, but they ran away without saying a few words? It's really boring!

"That...... Lord Anne Witch, the evil eye and the white-robed guy who just appeared in it are Saruman and the Demon Lord Sauron, right? ”

At this time, Groyin, who had been watching in fear from the side, finally asked with a hint of trill.

Following the capture of the town of Metris in the woodlands of the Dortena Mountains a few days earlier, they continued to lead a ragtag army of nearly 800 men to the north bank of the Swan River once again, preparing to lay siege to the Abbard Walled City, which had at least a thousand defenders and tens of thousands of inhabitants.

Then, when Renas stepped forward to persuade the other party to surrender as soon as possible, the little girl wizard beside him suddenly opened a magic communication that even Groyin found very new, and gave him the good fortune to see the Demon Lord Sauron and the white-robed Saruman from inside.

"Didn't you see it all? Do you still need to ask?! ”

Anne glared at the dwarf angrily.

The white-robed Saruman and the evil eye Sauron are easy to recognize, and who else but them? So, she was very disdainful to answer his question now.

"Huh? Looks like there's something even more fun! ”

"Old man Ge! Later, you can tell Renas and let her decide for herself how to fight this little town called Bard! I'm going to get on with something more important now! ”

"That's it, goodbye!"

Anne exclaimed in surprise after suddenly glancing in the direction of the Misty Mountains to the east.

Then, she hurriedly explained to Groyin, and after finishing speaking, she didn't wait for the old dwarf to react, it was just a teleportation spell, and under the surprised gaze of everyone, it disappeared in an instant, and she didn't know where she teleported to......

"Ge ...... Old man Ge?! That must not be talking about me, right? ”

Looking at the little girl who suddenly disappeared, Ge Luoyin couldn't help but turn his head to look around, he himself was obviously called Ge Luoyin, so who was the old man Ge in the little girl's mouth?

This little witch, is she so fond of giving others nicknames?!

……

The old world will burn in flames......

The forest will disappear and a new power will rise......

Me, Saruman!

I will arm my army with the sharp weapons of the orcs and the sonorous iron fist to wage my own war......

After his routine communication with the demon lord Sauron was disrupted by a little girl who inexplicably intervened, Saruman, a white-robed wizard who was secretly vigilant in his heart, couldn't wait to come to his Esinger's underground and began to inspect his huge underground project that also produced strong orcs, smelted steel, and built armor and weapons!

This is a military underground fortress and steel furnace that serves his war!

Just now, he had actually seen that the Demon Lord Sauron, the Maia who had lost her body, was just using herself! And he, Saruman, is not taking advantage of the other party?

It's just that now Sauron's strength far exceeds his own, so he can only choose to endure it for the time being!

Therefore, in order to plan for the future, Saruman felt that it was necessary for him to strengthen his military power as soon as possible! Only a powerful orc army, with more steel and weapons, will be able to win enough benefits for himself in the new Middle-earth changes in the future?

"I need them to be fully armed and ready to go in two weeks!"

After inspecting the underground facilities, Saruman gave orders directly to a tall orc steward who was responsible for the matter.

"But, sir!"

"The number of them (strong orcs) is too much, it is impossible to be fully armed in such a short time, and our weapons and armor are far from enough!"

The time it took for them orcs to build this place was too short, and in their haste, the steward felt that it was impossible to create so many weapons and armor for the newborn orcs to use in two weeks.

Although the production of weapons and armor is still going on in an orderly manner, in those quagmire-like magic transformation furnaces, the speed at which they pinch the orcs is too fast!

Their orc artisans produce weapons and armor, and they also need to use ore to smelt metal and turn it into molten iron, and finally shape and beat it into steel knives and plate armor, which takes a lot of time, and the daily output is already fixed.

However, one by one, their strong orcs were dug out of the quagmire furnace of magical transformation, and it didn't take long for the number to far exceed the production rate of weapons and armor, and if they were to be fully armed within two weeks, according to the current production capacity, this orc steward felt that it was definitely an impossible task!

Those strong orcs, now there are thousands of them, where can it find the weapons and armor of thousands of people? Unless Saruman is willing to give his military use the same as the Denland barbarians do - a few nails in a piece of wood, or simply tie a piece of iron to use as a weapon?

"Humph!"

After looking at the rivers and forests in the distance, Saruman quickly made up his mind.

"Build a dam to stop the water! Then, the stove runs day and night, and I need more weapons and armor! ”

"But we don't have that much fuel! We've cut down all the trees around Isinger! We're running out of fuel right now! ”

Iron and steel are all fueled, and with no coal here in Isengard, the orcs are now on the verge of slashing the vicinity of Isenger into a blank slate.

"Huh...... See? At our doorstep in Isengh is a whole stretch of Fagon Forest...... Burned it! ”

Although Saruman himself knew that there were some very powerful treants in the Fagon Forest, he didn't think that the kind of sleeping, mentally retarded, and disorganized Treants would pose any threat to his Isengard!

Even if one or two of them rebelled at that time, he believed that even without his own action, those half-orcs or strong orcs under his command could easily burn each other?

After saying that, Saruman sneered and turned his head and left!

He now needs to meet the leader of the Denland barbarians, and while accepting the loyalty of the other party, he has already planned to let those barbarians serve as vanguard cannon fodder before his army comes out, and go to the territory of the Rohan Kingdom to consume the opponent's living forces.

Then, when his own army is armed, he will take the whole of Rohan in one fell swoop! In Saruman's opinion, it was a no-brainer! Because, the current Rohan has already been almost infiltrated by his men, and Grima Qiaoyan, who is the adviser of the Rohan Kingdom, has long controlled the old king guy!

So, now, it's almost time for his Saruman army to reap the fruits of victory?

Once he Saruman takes all of Rohan, he and Mordor will be able to form a two-sided encirclement of Gondor, the largest kingdom of mankind at present.

When the time comes, it will be just around the corner to destroy Gondor and take all of Middle-earth!

After all, Haradlin in the south of Mordor and the Rune tribe in the east have reached an offensive and defensive alliance agreement with the Demon Lord Sauron! Once they have completely conquered Gondor, the remaining scattered northern human forces and elves or dwarves will be the only way to destroy them!

Maybe when the time comes, those hateful elves may be able to escape to the Amen Continent of the gods by boat in advance?

However, when the time comes, no one in the entire world of Middle-earth will be able to change the fact that the world will be ruled by him Saruman and the demon lord Sauron!

If they can really go that far, even Eru and Vera will probably have to choose to watch from the sidelines, right? Because, Saruman knew that they would never be able to afford to cause another war between man and god, and if they didn't want to destroy Middle-earth and destroy Alda, then the Veras would have to acquiesce to the fact that Middle-earth was ruled by Morgoth's forces!

As for the little girl wizard who was coming from the north and threatened to attack Isengard, Saruman didn't pay much attention to him. Just before, in the crystal of true knowledge of the conversation between the three of them, he had already seen that the other party's army was just a rabble of hundreds of people, and even the armor and weapons were very rudimentary!

Therefore, he did not feel that the little girl was any threat.

"Yes, my lord!"

After seeing Saruman leave, and then turning his head to look at the dense Fagon Forest in the distance, the orc steward answered the order with a hideous face.

In fact, it has long wanted to fight the idea of Fagon Forest! That ancient forest that has grown for countless years, the trees grow tall and large, the wood is tight and strong, and it must be very resistant to burning! No matter how you look at it, it's much stronger than the ones in the original Isinger!

Cut off one or two casually, and the steelmaking furnaces that are estimated to supply them will burn for days?

If it weren't for the fact that Saruman hadn't spoken before, and it itself had some concerns about the rumored Fagon Forest, it would have sent someone over to cut down the trees a long time ago, why wouldn't it have dared to do it until now?

————

"Evil Flame Demon! You don't want to defeat me! ”

Gandalf, the gray-robed wizard, has been badly burned by the flames, but he is still fighting with his sword and fighting the fire demon for his life!

You read that right, he, Gandalf, is armed with a long sword, jumping up and down and fighting the fire demon countless times!

The talent of swordsmanship is full, the body is also at the master level, and the eloquence and charm are also at the advanced level, but on the contrary, Gandalf, who has only taken one fireball and light spell in his own skill spells, is actually a hidden sword master, and by no means the gray-robed wizard you see and are familiar with!

To be more precise, his real profession should be a Magic Sword Master?!

Therefore, after he fell into the endless abyss with the fire demon in the Moria mine, and fell hard into the big pool deep underground, he was lucky enough not to be killed, so that he could rely on a sharp sword to fight fiercely against the fire demon in front of him all the way, and along the artificial staircase called the endless staircase that was carved out by the greedy dwarves, all the way from the depths of the earth, intermittently to the peak of the Silver Horn Peak, the peak of Siraksigil!

Now Gandalf is constantly rejoicing in his heart, fortunately, when he first chose his profession and added talent points, he had added a lot of physique and stamina in the face of the ridicule of others, otherwise, he would have died many times now!

Here, on an artificial stone platform made by the dwarves, at the top of this world of blizzard and lightning, Gandalf, the melee mage of Middle-earth, has been constantly fighting with the firefiery firefiery fire demon in front of him, with huge power and a pair of huge wings.

In the midst of your back and forth offensive and defensive battles, occasionally, he Gandalf could use the elven sword in his hand to cut several marks of different shades on the body of the fire demon.

Of course, more often than not, he was actually being pressed and beaten by the fire demon, and from time to time he was knocked over by the huge force of the other party and hit the boulder pillars one by one, causing many large rocks to tumble from the top of this world and roll down under the clouds......

"Whew...... Whew......"

How long he had been fighting the Firedemons, Gandalf couldn't remember......

Maybe it's a week, maybe it's half a month? He didn't know, and he didn't have time to calculate! Now, he could only gasp heavily, while firing at full strength, he could no longer care about hiding his strength, and at the same time, he was also vigilantly guarding against the fire demon on the opposite side.

This guy in front of him is really too difficult to deal with! Now Gandalf is a little convinced, maybe this terrible fire demon was really transformed from the Maias who followed Morgoth in ancient times? Otherwise, how could he still play so hard when he was going all out?

But thankfully, Gandalf himself is a very powerful Maia!

Therefore, he was able to continue to hold on to the situation of being severely burned all over his body, and he has not fallen too far for the time being? And if it were replaced by an ordinary mortal warrior, whether it was physical strength or strength, under this huge gap, I wouldn't know how many times I had been killed by the fire demon, right?

Instead of now, Gandalf was still able to use an elven sword to compete with the huge, equally powerful Firedemons.

There are generally two theories about the origin of the Fire Demons: some say that they are evil creatures created out of thin air by Morgoth! It is also said that they are actually the products of those who followed Morgoth and were transformed by the Fallen of the Maian gods......

But either way, their power is unquestionable!

Gandalf had seen the story of how some of the Maian gods had become slaves of the Dark Lord Morgoth, and that they were vicious, cruel and vicious, and later became such demonic beings! In High Elf, they are called Valaroca, and in Middle-earth, they are called Berrog, which means "the devil of power"?

Of all the creatures Morgoth created, the dragon was undoubtedly the most powerful.

However, compared to the dragon, Berrog is slightly larger and bulkier, and does not have the ability to fly as well as the dragon! Although their faces were a bit human-like, they also had giant horns with demonic signs, nostrils that spewed Liu Hang's poisonous gas, and mouths that could breathe flames at any time like dragons.

Wherever they walked, the earth burned, the smoke cast a shadow behind them like a dark cloud, and their limbs could hover and climb steep places.

This ability has already been seen by Gandalf when he first climbed the endless ladder!

And the fire demon's main weapon is a terrifying fire whip! This whip, made up of multiple twisted weaves of flames, was the kind of thing that dragged Gandalf to the bottom of the Endless Abyss on top of the previous bridge of the Moriath Pit!

Of course, the Fire Demons can also use the power of fire to condense other weapons, such as scepters, axes, and fire swords, but more often than not, the Fire Demons still like to fight with their fists and claws, as they do now.

Boom!

With a muffled sound, when Gandalf swung his sword to resist, he was directly hit by the opponent's claws on the blade, and the huge force caused him to be knocked away again and hit a huge stone pillar, causing his internal organs to feel bursts of sharp pain and concussion.

However, Gandalf rolled again quickly and fled to the other side, narrowly avoiding another pounce.

"Go back to your abyss, Firefiend!"

Gandalf shouted a loud shout, then leaped forward and slashed his sword at the other man's neck.

At the end of the Final Battle of the First Age, after the Demon King Morgoth was overthrown and banished by the gods and imprisoned in the Void, his men, including the dragons, Sauron, and the Firedemons, fled.

Compared to the daring Demon Lord Sauron who dared to continue to stir up trouble in Middle-earth, those cowardly fire demons, in order to escape the punishment of the gods, simply buried themselves in the deepest part of the Misty Mountains, and had never appeared in Middle-earth for thousands of years, until the greedy dwarves dug up Mithril and dug up the one that was fighting Gandalf in front of them.

"Oh! Damn it! ”

It's a pity that the body of the fire demon is unusually huge, and the other party just waved his hand, and mercilessly slapped Gandalf out with a paw that jumped up.

"Your end has come! Evil Firefiend! ”

After seeing the fire demon flapping his wings once more, opening his arms and rushing straight towards him, Gandalf's eyes lit up, and he saw a perfect opportunity!

He knew that he himself must not continue to fight with the Fire Demon like this, otherwise, he would definitely lose in the end!

After all, whether it is physical strength or that kind of terrifying portable flame, the other party's advantage is too much stronger than his own, he really can't go on like this, under the physical injuries and hunger and cold, he feels more and more powerless......

Now, he must make a final choice: risk the final blow to the fire demon who exposes his heart!

Then, Gandalf suddenly raised the long sword in his hand, and instantly channeled the power of a powerful lightning bolt that bombarded down and bound it to his sword body, he planned to take advantage of this perfect opportunity to use the power of the furious lightning and his sharp long sword to plunge directly into the heart of the fire demon, so as to achieve the effect of killing it with one blow!

"Come on, you evil being!"

Exhaling silently, gripped his lightning-shining sword in both hands, Gandalf let out a loud roar, knowing that he only had one last chance to strike......

"Wow! What a big fire demon...... It's big and fierce, and people find it really cute! ”

Suddenly, just as Gandalf was about to sacrifice his life to clash, the voice of an untimely little girl rang out at the top of the world.

This caused Gandalf, who was about to rush forward and unleash a fatal sword, to stumble under his feet, and almost fell to the ground, and he even thought that this was just his own auditory hallucinations before he died!

Therefore, he quickly gritted his teeth, calmed down, and rushed towards the fire demon who was also rushing towards him, and let his long sword stab directly at the other party's heart......

"Wow! Gandalf, stop it! It's mine now, and you're not allowed to kill it again!! ”

At this moment, the little girl's voice rang out again.

Then, Gandalf suddenly realized that he himself just now, it didn't seem to be an auditory hallucination?

Because, at this time, a fiery red transparent shield, like the same wall, when he was about to collide with the fire demon, he separated himself from the fire demon on the other side in time, and let the attacks of both of them only hit this transparent and solid light curtain in vain, but at the same time, they couldn't help the other party in the slightest......
