Chapter 140: The End of Isenger (Part II)

ps: It's on the shelves, ask for the first order and monthly pass

The suppression of the Isengar defenders entered its final phase, and the tide of battle began to rise and fall from the breakthrough of the Treants, and the army of Rohan surrounded the recalcitrant Orc forces from both flanks, and finally annihilated them.

"We can't spare any of our enemies to take out the fleeing orcs." King Hiyodon gave orders to his elite knights, dooming the fate of the fleeing orcs.

The Treemen and Humans surrounded the tower, bombarding the base with stones and battering rams, but the hard tower remained unmoved, and Saruman could not escape it, but the angry coalition warriors were unable to break through it completely.

Some impatient Rohan soldiers began to climb with ropes, trying to enter the tower through the window, but they triggered the defense mechanism of the Ozok Tower, and soon fell to the ground in a cloud of smoke. Just when everyone was at a loss, Gandalf didn't know when he came here, and everyone realized that Saruman had no intention of fighting Gandalf and took the initiative to remove the thundercloud.

"Saruman, you have no way to escape, surrender!" Gandalf shouted under the tower.

"Gandalf, we do not accept Saruman's surrender, he must pay for what he has done!" Elder Treant said in a sullen voice, everyone could hear his anger, the losses of the Treants in this battle were too great, even bringing them to the point of extinction.

"You hypocrites are really giving me charity, hahaha, who am I, I am Saruman, the master of Ozarkta, the most powerful wizard. You creatures will eventually be wiped out by my power. Saruman began a nervous insult after hearing the Elder Treeman's words, and the staff pointed at the Elder Treant under the tower. A fireball flew down.

Gandalf swung his staff, and the fireball exploded in the middle as if it had been whipped by something. The soldiers below were insulted by Saruman's sneak attack, and the numbered ones were even more open-mouthed, cursing Saruman in different ways.

Just as Gandalf was about to say something, a secret door at the bottom of the tower was silently opened, revealing a human with a package in his hand.

"I surrender! I give up! The man shouted, and then left the package in his hand on the ground. After rolling around on the ground a few times, the contents were revealed, which turned out to be a crystal ball.

"You feel betrayed of me. Grimmar! Saruman touched his sleeve and took out an identical crystal ball from there, and after feeling it slightly, he dropped it on the ground, and then quickly returned to the tower and never saw him again.

"Crystal of Knowledge! Grimmar. "The numberers all stared at the crystal ball and Grimmar on the ground, but they didn't dare to act rashly in front of Gandalf and Heydon.

"I, Grimmar. Clever words, open the gates of Osankta in this cave, and offer the Crystal of True Knowledge to seek the king's forgiveness! Grimmar noticed that the numbered ones were not looking well, and hurriedly knelt before King Siyodon and bowed deeply.

Gandalf picked up the Crystal of Truth from the ground and wrapped it tightly. He looked at Grimmar on his knees, then turned back to study the entrance to the Ozekta.

"Grimmar. For the sake of you, a citizen of the Kingdom of Rohan, I forgive you for your sins! King Theodon waved his hand. The guards next to him set up Grimmar and took him away.

The numberers watched with some pity as Grimmar drifted away, then turned their gaze to the open door.

"Who's going up with me to finish Saruman!" Gandalf turned back to King Heyudon and asked, and the numberers present were tasked with assisting Gandalf in defeating Saruman. For a while, everyone was judging the gains and losses, and the scene was a little cold.

"Count me in!" Hu Bin jumped off the treeman's body. He smiled at Gandalf.

"Hey, how can you live without me!" Jin Limai rushed up with his short legs. "See you again. Brat. ”

Legolas, who had been with him like the golden bolt, stepped forward, and although he did not speak, everyone else knew what he meant.

"I'll go too, there must be a break between me and Saruman!" King Siyodon flipped off his horse and prepared to enter the tower.

"Your Majesty, leave these matters to us, and believe me, I will definitely let Saruman deserve the punishment he deserves." Aragorn stopped King Theudon, who was about to come forward, and then looked behind him. Siyodon saw his lords and soldiers looking at him, while his daughter looked worried.

"Alright! I'll organize a team of elites to go up with you. Hesitant for a moment, he gave up his plan to go up, and called his chief of guard to tell him to send an elite team of ten people.

With Hu Bin taking the lead, the numberers also reacted, and they didn't hesitate to join the crusade team any longer, but because the tragedy of the previous camp mission had only ended, there were not many numberers who dared to enter the Oshackta.

"Shall we come along? Lynn, this is even more dangerous than the last time. Hu Bin looked at his teammates standing beside him without saying a word, and couldn't help but persuade.

"......" Lin stared at Hu Bin with indifferent eyes until Hu Bin couldn't stand this gaze anymore.

"I know, I know, please don't look at me like that anymore." Hu Bin understood that this stubborn companion was telling himself in this way that she was not a burden. Since Qiao disappeared, although it was not obvious, Hu Bin still felt that her relationship with him was much closer.

"She just can't stand to lose her companion again!" Hu Bin laughed at himself in his heart, and watched the other seven numbered people walking here, five of them were obviously from a team, and the division of labor for long-range and melee auxiliary reconnaissance was clear, and it could be seen at a glance that they were cooperating tacitly. The other two were dressed as lone rangers, but Hu Bin didn't despise this guy, and since the outpost battle, he would never despise the strength of the other numbered people again.

The entourage and subordinates of the numbered ones were left out of the raiding party, and the total number of twenty or so in the team was a bit small, but considering that the tower was not very spacious. So Gandalf saw that there were about the same number of people and led the way through the door.

"The first time I entered the Mage Tower, it really didn't feel like a good thing." Hu Bin muttered in a low voice. Gandalf in front of him heard it.

"The Orshank Mage Tower was built by ancient people, and it was carved out and carved in its entirety when it was leveled by Isengh. The base of the tower is connected to the foundation. It used to belong to Gondor, but the kingdom didn't have much control over it, and it was given to him with Saruman's arrival. Gandalf slowly spoke out some information about Ozekta as he walked.

"Let's not talk about the rest, after the Orzak Tower was occupied by Saruman, it has undergone a major transformation and has become a real magic tower, which can provide Saruman with a spell amplification, of course, as a mage's private domain. It's heavily defended. The tower is divided into seven floors and one basement, the first basement is the sundries and grain storage warehouse, the upper two floors above the ground are the servants' residence and the reception hall, the upper is the core of Saruman, the third floor is the observation deck, the fourth floor is the library, the fifth floor is the alchemy laboratory, the sixth floor is the showroom and bedroom, and the seventh floor is the stargazing platform. Gandalf said here and stopped. He looked back at the crowd.

"I'm going to split up the team next, and I need some people to explore the basement, don't take this errand as a joke, there are usually guards in the mage's storeroom. Which of you would like to go? After Gandalf finished speaking, he saw that although everyone had different expressions, no one took the initiative to come out.

Elites such as Aragorn and Kim Bolt were reluctant to rush for this little hour. The numberers coveted the items on the floors above, and the ten elite Rohan guards wanted to go. But he was afraid that people would say that it was a cowardly act.

"I'll go!" Hu Bin raised his hand to signal Gandalf, and Lin silently followed behind him.

"You go with him." Aragorn was a little surprised by Hu Bin's move. But he still let the ten guards go with Hu Bin and them, and he also saw that these guards were a little uncomfortable in the tower.

"Let's go to the upper three floors and have a look, everyone meet at the observation deck, remember, come back in half an hour, whether you come back in half an hour or not, we will attack the fourth floor!" Gandalf gave Hu Bin a few solemn instructions, and then led the others up the stairs.

"Let's take a look at this floor first and see if there are any servants of Saruman!" Seeing that the ten guards looked at him in unison, and Lin looked like he didn't care about himself, Hu Bin sighed and took over the command without giving up.

"Sir, come and see here." Five minutes later, a guard found Hu Bin, but Quan Dang did not see him rummaging through the cabinets.

"Well, okay, I'll go." Hu Bin put down the strange-smelling rag pocket in the closet, beckoned Lin, who was watching his show, and went to a bedroom with the guard.

"We found a food list from here with food supplies for everyone besides Saruman and his minions." Seeing Hu Bin come in, several guards hurriedly gave up the space, and one of them reported something suspicious to Hu Bin.

"Could it be food rations for the garrison outside?" Lynn said something unexpectedly.

"Well, no, the garrison's supply of food and grass is distributed by Isengah's granary, it seems that we have to be careful with everyone else except Saruman." Hu Bin was stunned for a moment when he heard Lin's voice, and then reacted and explained to her.

"There's nothing to see here, go to the basement." Seeing Lin turn his head unhappily, Hu Bin was embarrassed and rushed into the basement with the guards.

"Pippin and Merry are going to go crazy, see what I find." Hu Bin was holding two large cans of high-quality tobacco and giggling there, these rare Shire specialties are very rare.

The guards drooled over the room full of bacon and sausages, stealing a bite from time to time while searching, and after seeing the leader Hu Bin blatantly searching, he glanced at it with contempt, and then abandoned his disguise and began to hang food on himself.

Lynn frowned at the men's nonsense about the Hesses, walked over to the wine rack and pulled out a bottle of aged wine, opened it and sniffed it, her eyes lit up, and then swept the wine with a more frantic gesture than the others.

"Huh?" When Lin wanted to put a bottle of wine into the space backpack, she encountered obstacles, and when she tried to twitch the wine bottle, a hole suddenly appeared in the wall behind her, and Lin saw the stairs leading to the bottom of the hole, and hurriedly beckoned Hu Bin to come here.

"It's funny, don't forget to share half of my wine if you steal wine. Uh, what is it? Hu Bin saw the half-empty wine rack and suddenly realized. Then I saw a frosty Lin pointing to the hole next to her.

"Okay, I'll get everyone here. Come and meet here. Hu Bin shouted. Then He Lin complained: "Anyway, if you just scream, we will all come over." Why don't you even say a word, what are you going to do? ”

Lin didn't hear it and went straight into the newly discovered hole, Hu Bin didn't stop, just wanted to chase into it when he paused, turned around and waved his hand, and then also drilled into the hole, leaving an empty wine rack.

Walking down the stairs, Hu Bin found that he had come to a very open space, and a faint smell of rancid and bloody smell permeated this gloomy environment. made Hu Bin's vigilance increase by several notches.

"Looks like that's the reason for the extra supplies." Lin pointed inside the door opening in front of her, and finally held back a sentence.

"Dungeons, prisoners, so it is. Hey, and the numberers! Hu Bin came to Lin's side and saw a bloody scene. Several human-looking objects were hung from iron hooks, internal organs and limbs were cut off on a nearby platform, and the victims' painful and distorted expressions indicated that they were alive not so long ago.

To Hu Bin's surprise, there were still a few numbered people among these people. Hu Bin could easily see from their relics, after all, people in the Lord of the Rings don't wear watches.

"Not the numberers on our side, perhaps, from Saruman's camp." Hu Bin said unexpectedly. Most of the numbered people in the camp were familiar to him, but he had never seen them.

Lynn breathed a sigh of relief after hearing these words, although the whereabouts of Joe and Vicky were unknown. But it's better than being confirmed dead here.

"Why are they being executed here, and is there any accident in Ozarkta?" Hu Bin was puzzled.

"Let's go! Go and meet Gandalf. "I saw the other people with disgusted expressions. Hu Bin decisively decided to evacuate first, and the others exited the cell one after another and returned to the warehouse on the upper floor.

Hu Bin was just about to walk out of here. But there was a burning heat on the back of his hand. With a shake of his hand, Hu Bin summoned the holy sword and raised it in front of his chest, turned back to his cell, and slowly approached a dark corner.

"Ghosts!" Hu Bin saw clearly in the corner by the light of the flare, and it turned out to be a ghost who had just been transformed. The ghost cowered in the corner with a frightened expression, if it weren't for the holy sword in Hu Bin's hand sensing the existence of the undead, Hu Bin might have really ignored it.

"Who are you?" Hu Bin withdrew his holy sword and asked the ghost softly. The ghost turned his head to look at Hu Bin, and then continued to mutter something with a frightened face, Hu Bin just wanted to continue to ask, but the ghost's muttering gradually became louder, and finally turned into a hysterical scream.

"It looks like you're tired of being crooked, no, you're dead, so I'll let you die again." Seeing that the ghost actually dared to stretch out his claws to himself, Hu Bin unceremoniously slashed at his claws, and then heard the ghost's screams and instantly weakened a lot.

"Stop, stop, I surrender!" Just as Hu Bin wanted to make up for the sword, an anxious voice came from the ghost.

……

"So your assassination attempt failed, and Saruman locked you up here for the orcs to execute." Hu Bin said to the mist, the holy sword is simply a lifeline for the newborn ghost, and the ghost who has been hit by the sword can no longer maintain a complete human form.

"Yes, extreme unwillingness has kept me in this world, waiting for someone to help us avenge it, and I will give everything I have for it." The ghostly mist tumbled violently before slowly dissipating into the air.

"Vengeance ......." An ethereal voice seemed to come from the underworld, which made Hu Bin shudder.

"With all that, what do you have left?" Hu Bin said playfully, but then the spatial prompt surprised him.

"Numbered one 000003 you received the special story quest "The Deceased's Trust"

Content: Kill Saruman with your own hands

Reward: Obtain half of the deceased's inheritance and the deceased's blessing (Luck +2)

Mission duration: three days

Failure Penalty: Curse of the Dead (Lucky -2)

Accept (Yes/No)"

"Space, what the hell are you doing, what kind of existence do we numberers have in this world!" Hu Bin's face was very ugly, if this task was triggered by the undead of the aborigines, it would be understandable, but the undead of the numbered person or something, Hu Bin felt a chill in his back when he thought about it.

"Accept!" Even if it wasn't for the legacy of the numberer, Hu Bin had to see what the so-called blessings and curses of the dead were.

"Where have you been?" Although Lin didn't speak, Hu Bin still made up what she wanted to say according to her eyes.

"Found a little extra information." Hu Bin rubbed his temples and said with a distressed look.

"What's the message?"

Hu Bin just wanted to answer, but was surprised to find that this time it was Lin who really spoke. Seeing that Lin's face showed an impatient expression again, Hu Bin hurriedly told the information he had gotten.

Several of Saruman's Faction numberers survived the dam destruction, and they decided to assassinate Saruman because of his actions, and even colluded with many of Saruman's minions to plan with Grimmar. The plan had gone well, and they managed to bribe the servants at the bottom to help them open the main entrance to the Ozokta, and rely on Grimmar to evade multiple magical defenses.

Unfortunately, they were not greedy enough to kill Grimmar before assassinating Saruman to complete the side quest, but unfortunately they underestimated Grimmar's strength and cunning, and he betrayed them after realizing that the numberers were murderous towards him, and secretly reported the numberers to Saruman when he was not paying attention.

After a bitter defeat to Saruman, the numberers and some of their minions were sent into the dungeon by the enraged Saruman and handed over to the orcs for execution, but Grimmar gained further trust from Saruman, and was able to gain access to the Crystal of Truth and drop it.
