Chapter 152: First Team Battle

The coalition forces converged, and Gandalf, led by Gandalf, marched into the palace to meet the regent of Gondor, Dinethor.

Dinethor was a very talented prime minister, and his will could rival that of Sauron. Unfortunately, after the death of his wife, he became depressed, and due to the influence of his long-term use of the Crystal Sphere of True Knowledge, he was blinded by Sauron's belief that the world would be destroyed.

Even when his proudest son, Boromir, asked him to send troops to Mordor, he said in an exaggerated tone: "My son, what makes you think that humanity can overcome the darkness? Don't you see? Orcs all over Middle-earth, corpses and pieces of flesh everywhere, give up, the darkness will consume everything. ”

Gandalf stepped forward and said in a loud voice, "Do you mean, Dineth, to let Oskilias fall into the hands of the Shadows, even if it is the result of the bloody struggle of your ancestor Exilion?" ”

"If I'm not mistaken?" Dineth's eyes widened, and he questioned Gandalf, "Is that the territory that my eldest son, Bolomir, managed to recapture before he attended the Rivendell meeting, and you erased his exploits with a single word?" Sorcerer! ”

Dinethor has always disliked wizards, and even his second son, Faramir, who has studied with wizards. He uttered these words almost against Gandalf's face.

The others didn't understand why the regent had suddenly become so angry, only Aragorn vaguely knew.

Gandalf's face remained unchanged, he raised an eyebrow, and whispered, "Don't let your fears get in the way of sanity, son of Exhirion. ”

Dineth's face changed drastically, and he took two steps back in a daze, he was affected by Sauron's will, but he still had basic sanity, Gandalf's words were like a sharp knife into his heart, making him unable to accept this judgment.

“Bull……! I said a long time ago, wizards are the most unreliable, take your people with you, as long as I still have power, you can't borrow a single soldier here, Gandalf the gray-robed wizard. ”

Dinether yelled.

Such a gaffe in front of so many people shows how fragile this regent is.

Leaving the palace, Gandalf gathered the crowd at the tavern.

After toasting together, Gandalf asked Blomir worriedly, "Do you still think that the Lord of the Rings should be entrusted to your father for safekeeping?" ”

Boromir had wanted to bring the Ring back to Gondor as a weapon. Now, he shook his head: "No, Sauron without the Ring can corrupt a strong man like my father, and once the Ring falls into darkness, I dare not imagine the consequences." ”

"Good." Gandalf complimented, "We've got a recognition in Gondor right now. ”

Then, the troops of all sides were counted, and a total of more than 200,000 living and 500,000 dead troops gathered in the plain below the White Tower.

Bolomir added: "If Gondor prepares for war, an army of 150,000 will pour out of the White Tower at any time." ”

Gandalf smiled and drew a large area on the map, writing "Gondor".

The hobbits had never had experience in war, and Pippin said strangely, "Hey, we've got so many centaurs, why don't we just go to war?" ”

Jin Li pointed out unceremoniously, "Halfling, do you really know Mordor? The army of orcs has grown over the decades to be far more than a million. War first lesson, know your enemies. ”

While everyone was discussing, Boromir's brother Faramir barged in.

"The war has begun!"

The orcs have attacked Ogillias and are still gathering in a steady stream. The plain between there and the White Tower City became the main battlefield this time.

That is, the soldiers are coming to the city.

Facing the enemy, this is the most urgent thing.

Mordor's orcs rushed into Osgilias, and when they saw the black oppressive army under the White Tower City from a distance, they couldn't help but be surprised, when did this army appear.

Their main force is still repairing in Mordor, and only two armies are out on a mission, one has gone to the Swamp of Death to find the Ring, and the other is them, intending to take Gondor by surprise first.

Unexpectedly, I encountered a huge number of unknown troops.

Rohan, Woodland Kingdom, Ranger Mercenary...... The large army was stationed under the city, ready for war, and they had noticed the orcs before Faramir had been on guard.

Gandalf led the way out of the city gates, Jinli, Legolas, and Aragorn gave orders to their troops, and Rohan's general ordered the cavalry to change formation.

In less than an hour, the remnants of Ogillias were back, and the orcs did not dare to pursue, confronting the coalition forces from afar.

Pipin and Merry said excitedly, "Frodo, did you see that?" This is the battlefield, and it has been my most exciting adventure. ”

Bolomir and his brother were at the forefront of the mercenary camp.

Mo Tie rode a white horse, took Frodo with him, and explained to him the steps of the plan.

"Frodo, this is a rehearsal, when we finally attack Esimus, we will face dozens of times the orcs, and at that time, I will take you to Mount Doom. All you have to do is throw the Ring down. ”

Hearing this, Frodo shook the ring on his chest, and the expression in his eyes was complicated.

"Charge!"

The elven ADC fired arrows far from the rear, and Rohan's cavalry charged head-on, and human mercenaries and undead armies cut in flank.

The most eye-catching thing was Mo Tie, who rushed to the front of the army, and when he was about to make contact with the enemy, he opened his mouth and spewed out several large fireballs, which fell to the rear of the orcs, breaking up their formation, cutting the team battle, and providing an excellent output environment for his side.

This time the small team battle was of course won by the humans, both in terms of numbers and preparation, and they had an advantage over the orcs.

The benefits are also indescribable, most people have never experienced such a large-scale war, nor have they encountered half-orcs on the battlefield, so they have experience.

Even Pipin and Merry had killed several orcs, and Sam used the techniques Mo Tie had taught him to secretly stab a half-orc's vest.

As he cleaned up the battlefield, Gandalf looked back at the city walls, where the regent Dinether was standing looking at his two sons.

There was nothing to do in the smelly battlefield, so Mo Tie took Frodo and them back to the hotel and put water in the bath.

"Mr. Ain, will Gondor help us?" Sam excitedly said, "I've seen the benefits of having more people, we need more troops." ”

Mo Tie laughed: "Sam, no matter whether the 150,000 people of Gondor will join the war or not, you won't have a chance to see the scene of the decisive battle." ”

"Why?"

"Because you will fly over Mordor and reach Mount Doom in a dragon to accomplish the feat of Middle-earth, just like the squires in heroic poetry."
