Chapter 725: The Human Emperor who ascended the throne in advance
Saruman was "sent" away, and Night City officially entered a wartime state. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
First of all, the army and the people should be comprehensively reduced, not to mention the strong walls and clear the wilderness, at least they must be invulnerable.
Naturally, there is no need to worry about strategic materials, Zhao Ze has nothing else now, that is, there are many materials, and they can definitely be described as piled up, and he can even do it with his own strength, it is not a problem to feed all the elves, dwarves and humans.
To put it simply: if you want money, money, and people, it depends on when the other forces of the coalition will be ready.
Fortunately, these forces did not let Zhao Ze wait.
Less than half a month after Saruman left, the three elven forces led by the Woodland Kingdom, Rivendell, and Roslorian first came with good news, and the three parties decided to send an army of fifteen thousand elves, which can be described as a nest for the sparsely populated elves.
The reason why the three elven forces dared to make such a decisive choice was mainly due to the Night City, and it was precisely because they believed in the military strength of the Night City that they dared to send almost all the elven clansmen who could fight well to form a coalition army.
The dwarves are much more miserable here, Zhao Ze's close neighbor, the kingdom under the mountain located in the lonely mountain, because not long after the restoration of the country, Thorin. The oak shield came together and again, and only then did a thousand dwarven warriors come together, which was already the result of Thorin's best efforts.
Fortunately, Thorin also has the strong support of his cousin, the Dwarven Lord of the Iron Hills, Ironfoot Dane, and with Dane's unsparing "patronage", the dwarves have put together a total of 5,000 warriors.
If you count the guaranteed 10,000 people on the side of Night City, the total number of coalition troops is about 30,000, which is obviously far from the 50,000 expected at the beginning.
With this amount of manpower, it seems that it is a bit unreasonable to fight against the hundreds of thousands of orcs, so the top brass of the coalition army set their sights on the human kingdom, hoping to seek more help from there.
Only three days later, a "good news" arrived: the dim-witted and greedy King of the Rohan kingdom, Van Gerl, had been assassinated by an assassin from the people because of his insistence on building the royal city, and the prince Seijel, who was trusted and loved by the people, was hurrying back from Minas Tirith, the royal city of Gondor, and was expected to join the coalition army after officially taking the throne.
Previously, because of the discord with his father Van Ger, Prince Sejel lived in Gondor for a long time, and was courteous and sheltered by the regent Tegang.
As for the other key figure, the chancellor of Gondor and the regent Tegon, he also passed away after a few days in a coma, and his successor, Acilion, the dazed regent of Gondor in the Lord of the Rings, his father, considered himself unable to lead Gondor because of his lack of prestige, and on the eve of the imminent outbreak of the Great War, Exirion wisely made the choice to return the throne to the young Aragorn.
The future Emperor is only twenty-seven years old, and for the people of Denden, who have an average life expectancy of two hundred, Aragorn is still just an immature child.
Fortunately, there is someone behind him, and the reason why he can return to the throne without making any great achievements is precisely because someone needs him to become the emperor of men in advance, and take advantage of this rare opportunity to lead the coalition army to defeat Sauron.
Zhao Ze knew this, and he also knew that it was impossible for an outsider like him to become the commander of the coalition forces, so Zhao Ze ignored it from the beginning.
As for Aragorn, he does have the charm of a king in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but that is sixty years later, and now he is being caught up by ducks and taking over the throne of King Gondor in advance, Aragorn still needs to show something, otherwise the elves and dwarves will definitely not worry about letting him be the commander.
During this period, Aragon once sent a message with carrier pigeons, inviting Zhao Ze to go to Gondor for a while, but Zhao Ze refused, and bluntly told him that he should not have any psychological baggage, just let go of his hands and feet to serve as the commander of the coalition army.
What did Aragorn think in his heart, Zhao Ze was not interested in knowing, let alone whether he would leave a psychological shadow because of his reply, if Aragorn didn't even have this psychological capacity, then he might as well give way to others.
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight, and this principle is common in any plane.
When the two human kingdoms recovered from the chaos, the mobilization ability of the human race was also fully reflected at this moment, after all, in terms of the total population base, the human race is definitely the existence of Middle-earth second only to the orcs.
In less than a month, Gondor and the Rohan sent 10,000 troops each, and then the allied forces of the various tribes gathered in Minas Tirith, finally gathering the 50,000 troops scheduled for the battle.
At the beginning, Zhao Ze hoped that the coalition army would take the Night City as a foothold, but unfortunately this was not realistic, not to mention that Gondor was close to Mordor, just talking about the Demon Lord Sauron, he was brain pumping, and it was impossible to go far and not attack the nearby Gondor, but he would not travel thousands of miles to attack the Night City, right?
Considering that he had already shown his ability in front of many people before, Zhao Ze didn't bother to cover it up more this time, so he simply opened the portal and used the means of ultra-long-distance teleportation to directly transport the armies of all ethnic groups from their places of residence to Minas Tirith, which undoubtedly saved a lot of materials for the coalition forces and gave the coalition forces enough time to prepare.
A full army of 50,000 was spread on the plain at the foot of the King of Gondor, and this scene once again reproduced the magnificent holy war of the Lord of the Rings series, which also made Zhao Ze excited.
Anyway, he tossed for so many days, isn't it just this scene in front of him!
And unlike in the original plot, this time the coalition also includes elves and dwarves, accounting for two-fifths of the total, and this alone will definitely show more exciting combat scenes than movie scenes in the upcoming battle.
It was also at this time that Zhao Ze finally met the long-lost Human Emperor Aragorn - of course, at this stage, he is not qualified to be called the Human Emperor for the time being, and only when he leads the coalition army to defeat Sauron, can he obtain this qualification.
Zhao Ze did not meet Aragon alone, as Aragorn, who was forcibly promoted to the position of commander of the coalition forces by the "black hand" behind the scenes, he did not have the prestige to summon other high-level coalition forces, so he was very smart to convene a high-level meeting of the coalition forces, intending to take this opportunity to get to know the minds of various ethnic groups.
The meeting was not held in the palace on the summit of Minas Tirith, but in a tent on the plain at the foot of the mountain.
