The movements of the orcs, vians, and black-skinned savages were quickly noticed. Although Sauron did not use his evil eye to observe Middle-earth, this obvious conclusion could be drawn based on the many scattered pieces of intelligence. Sauron has returned, and he is gathering his followers.

This time the real mobilization for war began. Whether it's humans, elves or dwarves, they're starting to get nervous. After all, the other party is a famous demon king. What's more, at this time, Sauron had gathered more than 100,000 capable battle divisions. And the number is growing. The Dwarves issued a summoning order to all of Middle-earth, calling on all exiled dwarves to return to the Lonely Mountain and prepare for war together. The various empires of mankind also began to stock up on food and weapons.

The atmosphere in the Kingdom of Gondor is much more relaxed. Especially those high-ranking generals, after seeing the power of the latest equipment of wildfire and gunpowder, have completely ignored the so-called Sauron army. With this 'artifact' here, Gondor could even try his hand at Middle-earth. No matter how many of those savages there are, they are just delivering food.

Lin Xuan's magic academy had also begun to conduct special training for warfare. No matter how talented a beginner magic apprentice is, he can't play much role on the battlefield, unless he reaches Lin Xuan's level, he can control a war with his personal strength.

Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment when he received the news of Sauron's return. What's the situation, the Supreme Ring is on his body, why Sauron returned to him without the slightest notice. But it makes sense to think about it.

Why did Sauron have to use the power of the Ring to resurrect him? How did this channel advantage come about? I'm afraid no one can say it clearly. Before anyone knew it, everyone had subtly decided that Sauron's resurrection required the One Ring, and no one had ever wondered if the source of the news was problematic in itself. Perhaps Sauron has been creating the illusion of this as well. In order to confuse the people of Middle-earth.

Denech still has some concerns about Sauron's resurrection. After all, the legendary demon king still has a lot of deterrent power. He found Lin Xuan and discussed the matter.

"There is no need to be so worried, even if Sauron is resurrected, his power is not complete. What's more, with Gondor's current strength, is he still afraid that those wild people will not succeed. ”

"But once Sauron regains his strength, it is not comparable to the likes of Smaug. He's the superior Maia, are you sure? ”

"He can't recover." Lin Xuan took out the Supreme Ring under Denehao's astonished gaze.

"This ...... Is this the One Ring? ”

"Obviously, this is it. I got him a long time ago. I wanted to delay his return, but it turned out that there were obviously other ways for him to return. But no matter what, the One Ring stores some of Sauron's magic power, and he is not completely complete now. On the contrary, the initiative is in my hands. ”

"Well, one more thing. We have confirmed what you said about Saruman. But what about the other wizards? What kind of attitude should we have towards them? Like Gandalf and the like. ”

"I can't see through Gandalf as a person, and it's hard to determine which side he's on. So leave him alone for now and see how he reacts. In addition, the interior of the Osack Tower has a considerable collection of classical texts. That's extremely important to us, so find a chance to get there first. I need to check something. ”

"It's ready, but the other side has a strong orc legion. And I don't know the number, but if you attack head-on, you may have large casualties. So, should we use gunpowder and wildfire? ”

"You can use it, but don't use wildfire. Try to take a full Esinger. If I'm not mistaken, Saruman must have mastered the art of gunpowder as well. Before he has enough gunpowder, knock him out. Isenger's fortress still has some military value for us. ”

"I'll arrange it right away. Also, how is your magic legion? Can you go to war? ”

"It's been less than half a year, and they can't even face an experienced knight alone. However, you can take it to the battlefield in advance to exercise and feel the atmosphere of the battlefield. ”

The Crystal of Truth is a magical treasure that can help you find almost anything. But he has a huge weakness, and when you use the Crystal of Truth to peep at others, you will also be seen by them.

Saruman tries to use the Crystal of Truth to get a glimpse of the current state of Lun. But Sauron was the best at demagoguery. After several encounters, Sauron finally succeeded in seducing Saruman. The strongest wizard in Middle-earth became a follower of Sauron. Originally, this would be a nightmare for Middle-earth, but by this time, the pattern of Middle-earth had already changed dramatically. Saruman's power still seemed too weak. Aware of this himself, he attempted to contact Mordor and form an alliance with it.

Saruman had realized that he might have been exposed, as evidenced by the increasing number of cavalry in the vicinity of Gondor. However, he was confident that he would hold on until Mordor reinforcements arrived, and Issinger's defense system had taken him decades to build. It's just a pity that he seems to be a little too confident.

When the violent explosion sounded, a bad feeling appeared in Saruman's heart. Looking out of the tower, the front gate of Isenger was torn to shreds by a devastating explosion. Countless Knights of Gondor are swarming in.

"Isinger's alarm bells have been sounded. Countless orcs poured out of the crypt, and the discipline of the orcs was far from comparable to that of the knights of Gondor. But their physical fitness is simply too much higher than that of human soldiers. They can even knock over well-armed Gondor knights with simple armor and flesh. The battle was heated from the start. ”

On a high platform in the rear, Lin Xuan was watching the battle with more than a dozen outstanding disciples. A group of teenage children were excited for a long time when they heard that they could go to war. But when the real battlefield appeared in front of them, the bloody scene made it difficult for these children to look at it directly.

"War is never a story, not a legend, it shows you the cruelest side of the world. If you can't stand this, just go home. You must know that you are mages trained for war, and you must not only see it with your own eyes, but you must also create it with your own hands. ”

On the frontal battlefield, mutant trolls appeared. A trolley in heavy armor and armed with a giant mace went on a rampage, causing Gondor's advance to stop. Invulnerable, infinitely powerful, such an existence is simply invincible on this kind of actual battlefield.

"That's a troll, do you see? He's strong, and our soldiers are being slaughtered, so can any of you go and kill it? Lin Xuan said to the students beside him.

"How is this possible, our magic can't kill it."

"Of course you can, you must know that the most fragile thing for a magician is life. Even if it's the life of an ogre. So, is anyone willing to kill this big guy for me? ”

"I'll go." A childish voice suddenly spoke.
