Chapter 379: At the Last Moment
"No one can choose me! Gandalf, you asked me to take your place and assist King Heyodon in guarding Fort Clarion, didn't you push the kingdom of Rohan into the fire pit? ”
Gandalf: "......"
Russell was heartbroken: "Gandalf, you thick-eyed guy, Xiyoton regards you as a close friend, you actually want to harm him, what kind of grudge is it?" ”
Gandalf: "......"
"Don't look at me like that, I'm telling the truth, just my pit, the Rohan people can't fill it when they fall into it!" In order to prove himself, Russell shouted in front of him: "Aragorn, are you willing to believe me?" ”
Aragorn didn't look back, he didn't move his horse, his ears deaf as if he had lost his connection.
"Look, I'm still very confident in this area!"
Russell slapped his hands, Gandalf is very smart, why did he lose his mind?
Didn't he float after being promoted to white robe?
Seeing Russell frantically blacken himself there in order to shirk his responsibility, Gandalf almost sprayed him with a mouthful of old blood, of course he knew that Russell was a pit, but did he have a choice now?
It's because I don't have a choice that I know it's a pit and I have to jump into it!
"Ahem!"
Gandalf coughed lightly, and Xiao Zhi moved with emotion: "Russell, Rohan's geographical location is very important, if it is occupied by Isengard, and Sauron of Mordor is attacked one after the other, Gondor will definitely be defeated." ”
Russell didn't speak, looking down at the two ants fighting.
Gandalf gritted his teeth and continued: "The elves are gradually declining, and they are heading to Amen Continent one after another, the dwarven hometown of Moria, which is destroyed, and only active in a few areas, only the human kingdom is struggling to resist the power of Sauron, and Rohan cannot afford to lose. ”
Russell didn't speak, and he found that both ants were male.
Gandalf's face twitched, and he said again: "Russell, I know your strength very well, the Holy White Council will definitely have a place for you, as long as you get serious and take Rohan's national disaster as your own business, the Holy Helmet Valley will definitely be in danger." ”
Russell didn't speak, just now he was wrong, one of the ants looked like it was male, but it wasn't.
Gandalf took a breath of cold air and let out a killer move: "After the deed is done, I will teach you...... Illumination! ”
Russell trampled the two ants to death with one kick and looked up at Gandalf: "Don't try to lie to me, it's not illumination at all, it's the power of God." Even if you teach me by hand, I won't be able to learn it. ”
"No, I promise you'll learn!" Gandalf cut the railroad.
"Deal!"
Russell also nodded categorically: "Gandalf, you can go in peace, the Holy Helmet Valley will be handed over to me, and it will be foolproof." ”
Gandalf frowned: "What you said is not right, it is Gandalf in white robes, although I have never taken white robes and gray robes to heart, but this is a matter of faith, and there is no room for loss." ”
"I'm sorry, I'll say it again...... Gandalf, you can go in peace! ”
"Well, I'll leave it to you!"
With that, the white-robed Gandalf rode away and disappeared into the distant forest. There is no need to worry about his safety, Gandalf has three magic weapons in Middle-earth, he is black-hearted, ruthless, and has many friends. Needless to say, the first two things need to be said, Saruman's ending is proof that the last one must have already settled the relationship on the Treant's side.
……
"What, you said Gandalf went to find reinforcements?" King Heudon of Rohan was dressed in armor, with his blonde hair and shawl like a lion's face, and when he heard that Gandalf was gone, his brow was a little unhappy.
"Your Majesty, Gandalf feared that Saruman had other things to rely on, so he went to the forest to find reinforcements." Seeing that Sheydon's face was unhappy, Russell explained to Gandalf.
"No, you're mistaken, Wizard Russell, I don't think Gandalf was on the run, we've known each other for years, and I know him as a person."
Heyudon waved his hand, and there was another reason for his unswerving expression: "Fort Clarion has never been captured after many battles, and at this time there are 2,000 guards in the city, all of whom are elite warriors of the Rohan Kingdom, and 2,000 cavalry waiting in the steppe outside the valley. With a two-sided attack, Issinger's army was bound to be defeated, and Gandalf was overly cautious. ”
Xiyoudon's unhappiness comes from a sense of honor, and the hussar king on horseback feels that he has been underestimated, and even if the strong orcs are thousands of troops, the victory in this battle can only be Rohan.
He is convinced of this, there is no what-if, and there is no fear!
"Report!"
Outside the hall, the herald rushed in without waiting for Heyorton's response.
"Your Majesty, the Malay newspaper that the army of Isengh is pouring out......," said the herald, his hands trembling: "The number of enemies is as high as 30,000!" ”
"30,000!?"
Xi Youton stood up suddenly, his face full of disbelief: "Impossible, it is impossible for the strong orc army to have 30,000, and Esinger can't afford to raise so many soldiers." ”
In the hall, Aragorn and the others turned pale, 30,000 strong orc soldiers, without Mordor's action, Saruman himself could conquer Middle-earth, but ...... Is 30,000 too much, Issinger is just a fortress, not a country, where can he have such a big arm?
Not only did Aragon and the others not believe it, but Russell didn't believe it either, although he didn't know much about Middle-earth, but the logistics aspect was common in any world.
Isenger can't afford to raise 30,000 mouths, and Saruman can't afford to sell the Mage Tower!
"Among the 30,000 troops, only half of Issinger's strong orcs are strong, and the rest are half-orcs, and Tanma also saw the ring spirit riding a flying dragon......" The herald swallowed his spit and said with difficulty: "Our enemy is not only Isengard, but also Mordor. ”
As if Sylendon had been struck by lightning and almost fell, Aragorn asked aloud: "Is it wrong, Mordor's forces are far to the east, and the orcs are blocked in the plains of Paliano, so there is no reason for them to suddenly appear behind us?" ”
The herald didn't know, he just recounted the information sent back by the probe.
"It doesn't matter if it's Mordor's orcs or not, the enemy is far outnumbered by us, and we can't sit ......idly by," Heudon regained his momentum and ordered: "Let the cavalry on the steppe withdraw, avoid contact with the Isengar army, and use surprise tactics if necessary." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Recruiting the people of the city to fight, letting the women and children take refuge in the caves, and the others going to the arsenal to collect equipment, this battle is related to the survival of Rohan, and no one can escape." Sheudon gave the second order.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Mobilize the militia, take advantage of the fact that the enemy has not yet arrived, cut down some more rolling logs and come back, and you can use ...... when defending the city" Speaking of this, Xiyoton turned to look at Russell: "Wizard Russell, did Gandalf say when he will come with reinforcements?" ”
Russell was silent for a moment and said to Heydon, "Your Majesty, Gandalf will arrive at the last minute. ”
Xi Youton was stunned for a moment, reacted and smiled bitterly: "At the last moment, I really hope to ...... earlier"
Sheudon understood what Russell meant, and the so-called last moment was when Fort Clarion was about to be breached, and reinforcements arrived to boost the morale of the soldiers defending the city.
But this trick can only be used once!
