Following Sauron's defeat in the Final Alliance campaign at the end of the Second Age, the Lord God of the Immortal Lands sent five emissaries to Middle-earth, who were on par with Sauron's strength but wore human bodies, calling themselves Estali, or wizards.

And among the five Maiyas, there is one named Kurunel.

He was the first to come to Middle-earth, and the only one to do so voluntarily, and the tall, white-robed sub-god was later revered as "Saruman the White Robe".

As the president of the Holy White Council, he has immortal life and strange powers, is proficient in all aspects of mechanics and chemistry, has the only perfect gunpowder recipe in Middle-earth, and uses bloodline awakening to create perfect strong orcs on orcs, and quickly turns Isengard into a huge arsenal.

But compared to these "outer ways", Saruman's real power lies in the "spirit of words".

Unlike Galadriel's pure psychic powers, his voice and speech have an extraordinary magical power that can easily infect the listener and shake his mind, and as long as the influence of his speech continues to affect them, those who are not firm enough will be turned into fanatical admirers by a few whispers from him, and even the determined king and the treant with a lifespan of tens of thousands of years will not be able to absolve his code-Geass-like interference.

This power made it easy for him to tempt the Dengland people to sacrifice their lives for him, convince the lord of the Fagon Forest, Treebeard, to give him the right to travel freely to the forest, and bewitch the druid-like brown-robed wizard Redagaste, so that he could control the birds as his spies. He summoned mutated and twisted creatures such as the Wolf Warrior to serve him, and received the key to the Ozak Tower from Belen, the Vizier of Gondor, claiming the wizarding tower of Isengar as his own without any official statement. And by Grimma. Clever words played with the Rohan kingdom in the palm of his hand, turning the mighty hussar king into a senile dementia, knowing that Gandalf broke his "oath" with the white robe against the white robe.

Of course, in addition to the best control that can only be used with resourcefulness, Saruman is also a strong player who can use words perfectly in battle.

The madness that makes people think that even when they see their comrades, it is the enemy rushing forward and counterattacks with all their might, the demagogy of directly controlling the enemy completely, the joy of raising the morale of their troops, the grief of making the morale of the enemy's troops plummet, the cowardice of making the enemy dare not attack or fight back, and the bloodthirsty rage that makes the troops overdraw their physical strength and double their combat effectiveness in a short period of time...... In the battle of the legion, he can exert his strongest strength, if he has the opportunity, even if he has a million troops, as long as he is crazy, he will instantly lose 500,000 troops, and his lethality is stronger than a big forbidden spell like Meteor Rain!

And in the midst of a top-level war against the strong. His words can also make the enemy trance for at least a moment, and the moment of battle that requires him to personally attack is enough to determine the outcome, and the first hand control is to add a powerful bombardment. It's almost a nirvana.

- But for Xiao Lan, this is not enough power.

Since he hadn't even been brought down by the fire demon's blasphemous words, Saruman's soul dementor voice, though powerful enough, was still a little less temperate to deal with him.

Immediately after receiving this series of attacks, the demon was released from the chaotic state of his spirit. There was no danger of breaking away from the sniper of the deadly thunder under the instant explosion of time acceleration. The original intention of turning into the form of a demon god turned into a rapid retreat in an instant, until it did not disappear but tracked the swept thunder pillar on the ground and could not continue to move forward, and then outside the wall on the edge of the Esinger, he finally stopped with a body of white smoke that was violently rubbing against the air.

"It seems that you are not good at attacking yourself, and there is a limit to the counterattack of the Tower of Osak......" Looking at the white-robed figure that came out of the wizard tower first, the demon who slowly straightened up muttered to himself, "The limit is precisely the edge of Isengard, it seems that this defense mechanism is based on a "domain" similar to the inherent barrier, and cannot be used as a primary means to attack distant places. ”

"It's no wonder you need to build your own army. Not only is it necessary to go out to conquer cities in other places, but the "territory" of the substance can be completely occupied by invaders. If there is no army to defend it, as long as the most basic part is destroyed, the defense of this wizard tower will also be invalid, and this is how the tree man in the original book broke down the counterattack of the wizard tower? It seems like that's the case, so it's a lot simpler......"

I don't know if this whisper was heard by Saruman, but Xiao Lan saw a trace of anxiety on the white-robed wizard's face.

Isengard's arrangement is not as useless as in the original book, the strong orcs and half-orcs have left a lot of them as the defense of the city, and even the strengthened trackers have a lot left, and the giant crossbow with rockets set up on the city wall is aimed in the direction of the distant forest - the ancient Fagon Forest cannot be completely burned, even if it can not be completed in just a few months, so after Saruman got some information and took the initiative to attack and cripple the treemen, he still placed these ways to let them have no way back if the treemen came, But it was a pity that it was not the remnants of the Treants who survived the catastrophe that came, but an existence that he did not expect and could not be resisted by the troops and facilities left behind alone.

"Boom!"

-- It's not just "I'm afraid."

When the crunch of something cracking was heard, Saruman's heart fell to a low point in an instant.

Xiao Lan fatally grasped his weakness at the moment, and without waiting for the white-robed wizard to exert his best diplomatic persuasion, he flew directly to the river intercepted in order to build a smelter in the Wizard Valley, which was originally a lake, and dealt with the guards arranged to guard against the tree people with a few swords, and then did not hesitate to destroy the embankment that intercepted the flow of water with a single sword, so that the flood that had accumulated incomparable anger completely carried out their revenge on the enemies of nature.

Even the sky seems to be reflecting this natural revenge, there was a thunderous sound in the black and oppressive southern sky, the thunderbolt lightning falling in the distance illuminated the entire Rohan, Xiao Lan could see that the mountains in the distance were illuminated by lightning, flashing in the sky like a black and white landscape, there was a low sound different from the thunder in the ancient misty mountains, and the whole valley also shook with this sound, and the sudden heavy rain made the already surging flood even more powerful, Directly broke the walls of Isengar and all the enemies who fled in a hurry under the power of heaven and earth, and in an instant the river flowed in all directions on the basin filled with iron and fire, and these floods flowed into the underground tunnels and holes without mercy, and then a large amount of white vapor came out, and white smoke kept gushing out.

There was a dull explosion from the ground, countless flames and foul-smelling black smoke rose up, and a large number of flames erupted from various holes on the entire land, but they were quickly extinguished under the impact of the water, and several dense vapors rushed all the way to the sky, tightly surrounding the Tower of Osak to form a strange landscape of flat ground and sea of clouds. The water continued to flow relentlessly, and in the end, Isenger looked like a soup bowl, enveloped in steam and smoke at every corner.

During this time, Xiao Lan did nothing, but Saruman couldn't do anything.

He was proud that the power of words and spirits could not command nature, and his men did not have enough warriors and slaves to cooperate to let his power be fully exerted, he could only watch Xiao Lan destroy the embankment and send out a flood, and watch the Esinger he had worked so hard to manage become a Ze country, and all the arsenal smelting rooms and the incubation pools of the strong orcs were all submerged together, which also meant that most of Issinger's defense and the sovereignty of Osakhta had directly fallen at this moment.

-- Fortunately, it's only half of it, not all of it.

The heavy rain came and went as fast as the eye could see, and although there were still many puddles filled with water and all kinds of wreckage floating on them, the flooded river was gradually receding, revealing the muddy ground, the slopes and hills that had been completely altered by the hurricane-like terrain, and the drunken pillars everywhere, the Tower of Osak stood still untouched by the slightest influence.

Then at this time, Xiao Lan pulled out her sword again...... (To be continued......)
