Chapter 398: Could it be that my white-robed Gandalf will lie to you?
The royal capital is Minas Tirith!
The majestic white city built on the mountain, with its impenetrable towering stone walls, Mithril gates, and seven-story city with a stepped structure, is the proudest super fortress of the Terrans on Middle-earth, and is not afraid of any enemy unless the sky falls apart.
Of course, this is also to think about it, after all, YY is not illegal!
Not to mention anything else, the magical black powder created by Saruman alone could not withstand the walls of the royal capital. If you go down with a hammer and cut a crack, the seven-story city is also a matter of seven hammers, and you can capture the royal capital in half a day.
It's a pity that Saruman offended Gandalf and was sent into exile, and now he doesn't know where to go!
The royal capital was filled with gunsmoke, and the white walls were scorched black by the flames, and the regent Boromo stood on the top of the royal capital, overlooking the vast plain of Paliano, with a worried and helpless face.
Boromo became regent, and Dinether II died of drinking in the middle of the night, and he succeeded to the throne in the second half of the night.
Although things went wrong, the generals in the royal capital didn't think much about it, the regent Dinether was diligent and honest in his early years, rigid and self-serving in middle age, and greedy for power in his old age, which can be said to be more and more confused, except for the generals who were loyal to him, most of the people who were dissatisfied with him accounted for most of them.
Everyone thinks it's nice to have a different leader!
Even the generals who were loyal to Dinethor didn't think much about it, could his son still harm Lao Tzu?
Boromo was brave and resourceful, loved by his soldiers, and had a high reputation in the royal capital, and was himself the first heir, so he easily became the new regent.
"Gandalf, can we hold out until Aragorn returns with reinforcements?" Boromo asked worriedly.
The capital of the kings of Gondor was facing an unprecedented crisis, the black oppressive phalanx on the plains of Paliano was neatly arranged, and it was about to enter the night, and the orcs lit torches, and in an instant, it seemed as if the entire plain was burning.
The ferocious arrogance was monstrous, turning into dark clouds and covering the sky, and even the moonlight was dimmed.
Boromo scratched his head in annoyance, the previous regent, that is, his own son, did not think to recruit reinforcements before the king was besieged, and waited for death in despair, causing panic among the soldiers and civilians in the city.
Dinethor's will was crushed by Sauron, and he took a pessimistic view of the war, believing that the king would be defeated, and all resistance was in vain, and he was ready to drag everyone to die together.
Even if Lao Tzu is not, he can't say it clearly as a son, sighing and sighing is very uncomfortable, and then looking at the holy white tree behind him, it is even more uncomfortable.
The death of the Holy White Tree, which represents the royal family of the West, seems to indicate that Gondor has reached the end of his rope!
"Boromo, when the Battle of the Valley of the Holy Helmet began, everyone thought that this battle would be lost, but we won, and we completely annihilated the army of Isengard. Now, the walls of the royal capital are ten times stronger than the fort of the Horn, what reason is there to be defeated? β
Gandalf stroked his white beard and looked like he was in control, because he was a mature Maia, so it was hard to guess whether his words were true or false.
"The beacon fire has been lit, King Xiudon and Aragorn have made an oath, and when they see the signal, they will definitely gather a large army to support ......" Speaking of this, Boromo pursed his lips: "But Aragorn hasn't come back yet, wouldn't it be bad for us to do this?" β
King Theudon swore that as soon as Aragorn became King of Gondor and lit the beacon, he would lead a large army to fight for the Western royal family, but at the moment the Aragonese did not know where he and his brother Faramor were the ones who lit the beacon.
Bolomo is new in politics, and his face has not yet been exercised at home, so he feels that it is a little inappropriate to deceive the allies!
"Hahaha, Boromo, you're thinking too much."
Gandalf said with a smile: "King Xiyodon found a step for himself at that time, and at the time of the Rohan crisis, your father did not send troops to support, and King Xiudon did not say so, so it is difficult to explain to the people." β
"Really?"
"Of course, could it be that my white-robed Gandalf would lie to you?"
Boromo: (?_?)
"Huh!?"
"Haha, Gandalf, you certainly won't lie to me, and you're not Russell...... Ha ha! Polomo laughed dryly and blacked Russell, knowing that Gandalf liked to hear this.
"Yes, that's it!"
β¦β¦
Dusk has passed, and darkness has covered the land.
On the plains of Paliano, the torches converged into dragons, and then into a sea of fire, and columns of orcs began to charge the king's capital.
The entire Middle-earth continent knows that the orcs have the strongest combat effectiveness at night, and the siege battle that is about to start can be imagined.
The soldiers of the royal capital clenched their weapons, and the inhabitants also organized themselves and climbed the walls to share the pressure of the defenders. They were scared, but behind them were their wives and children, the orcs were ferocious, and they had no way out, knowing that death was still coming.
Although the mourning soldiers may not necessarily win, they can definitely increase the probability of defending the city!
If Russell is the commander of the orcs, he will never set up an iron bucket formation outside the royal capital, and he will leave one side for the defenders to break through.
If there is a way to live, there will be hope for the soldiers and people of the royal capital, and if there is hope, they will not despair, and they will not swear to defend the city if they hope to break through and escape. As soon as people's hearts are scattered, they will be in chaos, and it will be much easier for orcs to break through the city.
At that time, the net opened and let them break out of the Paliano Plain, losing the strong city walls, and these people didn't abuse as much as they wanted!
Of course, Russell could have thought of this, and Gandalf must have thought of the bad old man who patrolled the walls every day, spreading the true lie that the orcs were murderous and bloodthirsty.
In a word, the city is broken, and everyone dies together!
"Roar Roar Roar ββββ"
Before the orc attack began, a sharp roar came from the darkness in the distance, and nine huge black shadows soared across the sky.
Sauron's Ringling, led by the Witch King of Angmar, was covered in black flames and was the most powerful, and he was the commander of this battle.
The sharp roar of the demon beast flying dragon carried an aura of fear, and all the defenders who heard the sound of deterrence felt cold. Fear hit their hearts, their hands and feet trembled and their weapons were thrown down, many people covered their heads and wailed, and even lost their fighting spirit and prostrated on the ground and did not dare to move.
At this time, the war drums rumbled outside the city, and the orcs took the opportunity to start attacking the city.
"Sauron's minions, get back into the darknessββββ"
Rolling thunder rang out from the highest part of the royal capital, and white light rose into the sky, like a small sun breaking through the darkness and dispelling the magical black clouds that shrouded the sky.
The light shrouded the royal capital, reflected through the white city walls, and shone on the plains of Paliano.
The holy light dispelled fear and restored the courage of the defenders to fight, while the orcs army below were struck and wailed, countless soldiers rolling on the ground with their eyes covered.
β¦β¦
On the Anduin River, the current is turbulent, and 50 sailboats are carried by the crest of the waves.
"Aragorn, how long will it be before we reach the royal capital?" Russell asked.
"At the current rate, if there are no accidents, it should be ...... tomorrow morning"
