Chapter 406: Organize cannon fodder to send to death
Royal Chamber!
Most of the main generals of Gondor and Rohan gathered here, with Gondor as the leader of Aragorn, supplemented by Boromo and Faramir, and the king of Heudon on the side of Rohan and Iomo as his deputy.
Aragorn had not yet ascended the throne, and he was a dead eye, resolutely refusing to ascend to the throne until Mordor was destroyed.
In addition, the Fellowship of the Ring was also invited to participate in the meeting, the discussion on the strategic deployment of Mordor.
The moderator of the meeting was Gandalf, and with his status and position, he could not have been more suitable.
Russell sat in a corner, and behind him stood the Dendan warrior Hobara, who was serving tea and water.
"Big brother, smoke or smoke? I've got some of the best tobacco in the Shire, and I'll give you some of it! ”
Russell nodded, and took the pipe handed by Hobala, which can be regarded as following the local customs, except for the elves in Middle-earth, all other races carry a pipe with them, and Aragorn and Gandalf are no exception.
"Big brother, you just had a hard time eating, or ...... I'll pinch your shoulder? ”
Holbala sneered at the cat behind Russell, a burly man close to 2 meters, bent over and standing a head shorter than Russell when he sat down, it was really hard for him.
"Well, work hard, your kid is good."
"Everywhere, it's all cultivated by the eldest brother!"
Hoballa was very happy, and when he called the eldest brother, Russell did not deny it, although he did not agree, but it was a signal that Russell acquiesced to his younger brother.
can save his life, and he can recognize a big brother who can transform into a dragon and set off a big flood with his hands, what is the cheekiness.
Instead of being ashamed, Holbala was proud, and even a little proud, and he felt the envious and jealous gazes of many generals, some of them from Rohan and some of Gondor.
There was a lot of competition pressure, and Hoerbara secretly scolded a group of people who tended to be inflammatory, and by the way, he gave himself a thumbs up, fortunately he was fast, otherwise the one who pinched Russell's shoulders would have been replaced by someone else.
Gandalf rolled his eyes, the mature Maia is strict with herself, and she looks down on people who are greedy for pleasure the most, such as his promotion to the white robe, has there been propaganda all over the mainland?
No!
"Ahem!"
Gandalf coughed lightly, signaled for the meeting to officially begin, shook the white robe on his body, and waited for everyone's eyes to linger on him for three seconds before slowly speaking.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have won the battle of the Paliano Plains, but this is not the final victory, the real test is only beginning now!"
Hearing Gandalf's speech, the chamber exchanged ears, Russell watched quietly from the side, and the bad old man began to fool people again.
In Russell's eyes, Gandalf is a fool, but in Gandalf's own eyes, he is leading the Terrans to overthrow Sauron's evil rule, so as to complete a metamorphosis and rise to become the master of Middle-earth.
"Everyone, please be quiet!"
Gandalf looked solemn and continued: "The dark forces are very strong, Sauron will definitely not give up after suffering a defeat, I can feel that behind the walls of Mordor, the enemy is regrouping his army. ”
Mordor's territory is vast, and Gondor and Rohan alone cannot compare to Mordor in terms of population and land. The orc armies had always outnumbered Rohan and Gondor, as the generals here knew.
Therefore, when they heard Gandalf's words, they were all worried about the fact that the years of war had consumed too much national strength, and both countries needed to recuperate.
If given the choice, they really don't want to fight!
"Ladies and gentlemen, Gondor, Rohan and Mordor are separated by a mountain, and Sauron, in order to fulfill his ambition to conquer Middle-earth, will continue to send troops against us until we are completely wiped out. The elves are gone, the dwarves don't care about war, and we're left alone! ”
Gandalf sat down, the conversation had opened up, and it was time for the others to participate in the discussion.
"Leave them alone, we once held Mordor's army back beyond the Anduin River, and we will not be the same."
"That's right, as long as the two countries work together, with a strong city wall, it is completely possible to block Sauron's minions at the door of their homes."
"No, we don't have walls anymore, and the orcs destroyed them before they crossed the river."
"It can be rebuilt, as long as Gondor is still there, the city walls will be as many as possible!"
"The speed of construction can never be compared to the speed of destruction."
"So what do you say?"
"Attack, offense is the best defense, no matter how strong the wall is, it is impossible to hold it every time, hope for defense, we will die a miserable death."
"Joke, Mordor is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the number of defenders is several times that of ours, how to attack, what to attack?"
"But there is only one way to die by defending the walls!"
"We can hold on, just like we did before."
"It's different, Armageddon is coming, and Mordor's army will no longer be just a test as before."
“……”
The generals of the two countries quarreled and were roughly divided into two camps, one side insisting on a defensive strategy, and the other side believing that it was time to take advantage of the victory and pursue the victory to expand the results of the battle.
The reasons for both sides are very sufficient, and neither can convince the other, and the fight is red-faced.
"Give me all the quiet, this is the royal capital meeting hall, don't be embarrassed in front of your ancestors." Xiyoton slapped it on the table, and if he didn't stop it, the rough old men should have started fighting.
"Aragorn, what's your opinion?"
Xiyouton frowned, the defense was sure to die, but the offense did not see the slightest possibility of victory, and hesitated, wanting to hear what Aragorn had to say.
The generals decisively shut their mouths, they were courtiers, shouting out their throats, and the final decision was in the hands of the two kings.
"Holding the walls of the city will definitely be defeated, and the chance of winning by taking the initiative to attack Mordor is extremely slim, but ......" Aragorn pondered for a moment and said: "We can destroy the Supreme Ring, as long as Sauron is dead, with the casual habits of half-orcs, it will only be divided into tribal infighting, and Mordor will not be afraid." ”
The One Ring!
Hearing this, the sound of breathing in the council hall became heavy, and the generals' eyes stayed on the members of the Ring Guard, their faces looking greedy.
Boom!
Two sword sounds rang out at the same time, and Aragorn and Xiudon drew their long swords and put them on the table, shocking everyone from daring to move.
Humans are the most greedy of the three races, and Gandalf stood up with a little disappointment, and continued to preside over the meeting, consulting with the two kings, dispersing the weak-willed generals, leaving only a few and the members of the Ring Guard team who knew that Frodo was the Keeper of the Ring.
"The Eye of Sauron is constantly monitoring Mount Doom, and if you want to destroy the One Ring, you must let him look elsewhere......"
Seeing that no one spoke, Russell took the initiative to stand up as a villain, and the meaning was very clear, it was time to form a cannon fodder army to send him to death.
