Sure enough, as Zhao Ze expected, in the face of the magic ring that was close at hand, Sauron couldn't resist such a temptation, his body turned into a cloud of black mist and flew towards Zhao Ze in the sky, but such a little dark power was obviously not taken into Zhao Ze's eyes, just a spell to dispel the darkness, and the black mist had been expelled. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Sauron had no choice but to reveal his true form—a dark shadow hidden in flames.

This kind of entityless, only a shell-like existence was really no threat to Zhao Ze, but instead of continuing to attack Sauron, he made a move that Sauron couldn't understand.

I saw that as soon as Zhao Ze's fingers were loosened, the magic ring slowly fell from the air, fell into the flames, and instantly merged with the black shadow.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Ze knew that Sauron had already obtained the magic ring, so he smiled slightly, and suddenly flew upwards for nearly a thousand meters, and at the same time began to condense an even larger ball of magical energy.

In the Doctor Strange movie version, Casillas, who betrayed the ancient one, just condensed an energy ball the size of a basketball and destroyed the temple in London in one fell swoop, and now the magic energy ball condensed by Zhao Ze has a diameter of more than ten meters!

Sauron below also knew that this was not something he could resist, so he simply turned into a cloud of black mist and fled in the southeast direction without looking back.

Rumble!

Almost as soon as Sauron left, the entire mountain where the entire Dolgothor was located collapsed with a loud bang.

Seeing this, Sauron's speed as he left suddenly increased by three points.

Zhao Ze directly teleported and returned to the City of Dark Night.

I believe that after such stimulation and blows, after recovering his strength, Sauron will definitely be almost crazy to explode troops, and then it will be more than the battle of the five armies, and the dark forces led by Sauron will 100% fight to the end with all the races in Middle-earth.

As the initiator of this super-large-scale battle, Zhao Ze said he was very satisfied.

……

The truth was not much as he expected.

Less than half a month later, news came from the south that some people claimed that the long-dormant Mordor region had shown signs of large-scale orc activity.

It was the merchants who brought this information, and the people of this world who carried information and intelligence around Middle-earth were mainly such a group of people.

To the regret of this group of merchants, in the face of such important information, Night City only came forward with a deputy city lord and sent them away with a few gold coins.

Fortunately, there is also the dwarf next door, and the rich dwarf can sell information again, and I believe that the dwarf will definitely make a good price that satisfies everyone.

After sending away this group of merchants, Night City was still the same as before, but secretly prepared

After all, Zhao Ze really can't figure out Sauron's psychology, God knows if he will suddenly go crazy and send all the existing orcs to attack the Night City, so he has to be on guard.

However, this kind of defense does not need to mobilize the lords of the Night City, only the 10,000 clones need to be ready, as for the new lords who have joined the Night City, only a thousand people have been selected for the city defense force at this stage.

The so-called city defense army refers to the most important branch of the army responsible for maintaining law and order in the city during the war, these people are all selected from the people, if even they themselves do not love the city, then Zhao Ze does not need to let them continue to stay.

Compared with the previous life of long-term exile, the life of not worrying about food and clothing in the city of dark night is like living in a fairyland, and Zhao Ze also hopes to use this strong contrast to inspire their hearts to protect their homeland.

To put it simply, it is to deepen the sense of belonging of these 100,000 citizens to the Night City.

Now it seems that Mrs. Carthus's job is well done.

As for Zhao Ze himself, at this juncture when Sauron regained his strength and frantically expanded his armaments, the only thing he had to do was to stand still.

The problem is that Zhao Ze can hold his troops still, but the various clans in the Middle-earth Continent who received the news can't hold back, and many forces have sent envoys to other places, hoping to exchange opinions with each other.

At this critical moment, the Holy White Council was convened again, and thanks to the initiative of Dried Tofu, the council this time held the meeting in the Night City, which was an unprecedented move.

Probably because Sauron's movement was too big, the Holy White Council invited many irrelevant figures this time, including the monarch of the human kingdom, and the dwarves who did not deal with the elves, and even Thurduncle was invited to attend this meeting.

In fact, Zhao Ze is very dissatisfied with the self-assertion of dried tofu, he doesn't want to entertain these troublesome characters, this time the big battle with Sauron, Zhao Ze is ready to meet the battle with his own strength, now that the leaders of so many forces are here, what should I hear about next?

It stands to reason that the opinion of the speaker of the Holy White Council should be followed, but the question is what kind of bird-like person Saruman is, others don't know, can Zhao Ze still not know?

So although the meeting was held as scheduled, Zhao Ze was the only one who did not attend in person, and the one who came to attend the meeting on his behalf was the deputy city lord, Mrs. Carthus.

When the meeting ended, everyone agreed that in addition to being highly vigilant about Sauron's movements, they should also be able to enter a state of all-out war at any time, and if war broke out, all races would form an alliance to deal with Sauron's dark army.

As everyone knows, this is exactly what Zhao Ze doesn't want to see the most.

Fortunately, all the clans unanimously agreed that as the most powerful force in the military, this coalition will be centered on the army of Night City.

In fact, the races do not have much fear of the war that has not yet broken out, which is much stronger than the last time they fought with Sauron, only the combined forces of humans and elves, this time not only the dwarves participated in the battle, but also the incomparably powerful Night City joined in, plus the fire dragon Smaug, who had already been subdued by the city lord......

Speaking of Smaug, this fire dragon has been living a very leisurely life recently, except that it can't breathe fire and do evil everywhere, Zhao Ze allowed it to wander around Middle-earth, hunting by the way, to satisfy its appetite.

But there are also those who are skeptical and negative about whether Smaug will go to war, such as the dwarves who have just emerged from Smaug's shadow.

At the same time that the leaders of all races gathered in the Night City, bad news continued to come from the direction of Mordor, and some people even claimed that Sauron had regained his heyday and was suspected of having recovered the Ring, and used this to call on all the orcs in Middle-earth to prepare to gather an unprecedentedly large army to wipe out all the rebels in one fell swoop.
