Minas Stirris, also known as Minas Ano, is the city of kings.

This is a city built against the back of the mountains, the whole city is divided into seven layers, evenly divided into two halves by a huge rock, as the top layer of the huge rock platform, more than 300 meters above the ground.

In this day and age, it is really an unimaginable height.

Therefore, whenever people look up at this majestic city with its white body from below, there is a strong sense of pride and pride.

Because compared to the castle of the elves, dwarves, and even the dark lord Sauron, this white city created by humans is not inferior, or even surpasses!

It is also the front line of the Middle-earth realm against evil.

Sauron's territory, Mordor, is just east of the river, and anyone who looks up can clearly see the dim and gloomy sky in the east, and the red volcanoes that roar from time to time.

The people of Gondor have fought hard for a long time, and they have made great sacrifices to keep the evil minions firmly at bay on the other side, so that those terrible creatures cannot wreak havoc on Middle-earth.

But today, the deepest evil has finally awakened.

With madness and cruelty, they rushed across the Anduin River and captured the outpost of Osgilias.

Now, it's about to flood here......

"All the adult men go to the barracks to report, receive their weapons, put aside fear, forget cowardice, for the sake of your families, prepare to join the battle, defend Minastiris, hold the White City, long live Gondor!"

Sitting on his horse, the knight waved his banner and uttered a hoarse cry as he tried to convey the Regent's orders to the civilians around him.

With the slogan, in the crowd he squeezed through, many men in baskets stood up one after another.

The men had fear on their faces, and their families were tugging at them from time to time, but in the end, they resolutely rushed to the barracks to report, received ill-fitting weapons and armor, and became soldiers.

A soldier who is about to fight against the Mordor army and protect his homeland.

"They are not qualified fighters at all, and they will not fight, and letting them go to the battlefield is just to send them to death." Looking at the tall, short, fat and thin soldier, Lai Golas shook his head with a look of unbearability.

Stretching out his hand and pressing his shoulder, Aragorn said with some gloom, "But if this place is attacked by orcs, they will die too." ”

After a moment of silence, Lygollas watched a young man in armor and a sword walk by, and suddenly looked up at the sky, "Aragorn, do you think we still have hope?" ”

Beside him, Jin Li, who was holding his battle axe, couldn't help but interject, "There is definitely no hope, there are too many orcs, at least ten times more than us, and there is a steady stream of reinforcements arriving, unless I also have the magic of Dong, this should be my last battle." ”

Hearing this, Aragorn's brows furrowed, his face changed for a moment, and he still asked in a low voice, "What do you think...... Did Higashi take Frodo to destroy the Ring? ”

"Of course, if they really wanted to snatch the ring, they would have snatched it a long time ago, they have saved us more than once, and we dwarves never suspect our benefactors." Jin Li's right hand swung violently, spat everywhere, and his eyes glared at the boss.

Sensing Aragorn's concerns, Lygoras said, "Don't worry, although I am not a wizard, I can sense their concern for Frodo and for us, Gandalf...... It's not necessarily all right, maybe he knows it himself, otherwise he wouldn't have done nothing until now. ”

Squeezing out a smile, Aragorn suddenly strode towards the stairs next to him, "Let's go, let's think about how to defend this place first." ”

As the group climbed the city wall, suddenly, in the distance, the marching army of orcs immediately came into view.

I saw that on the huge plain, the black and oppressive teams were neatly arranged, clustering around one siege facility after another, slowly advancing, accompanied by earth-shattering shouts, low war drums, and solid footsteps, as if a wave of destruction was coming.

Seeing this scene, even a brave warrior like Aragorn couldn't help but change color a little, let alone those ordinary soldiers.

"They're assembled at this time, and it looks like the battle will continue into the night."

Looking at the army of orcs in the distance, Aragorn's voice was very heavy, once the orcs entered the night, their combat effectiveness could be improved a lot, while humans would generally be affected by some bad influences.

"Aragorn, look at those trolls, if Gandalf can't convince the mages to join, we will definitely not be able to stop them, we have no chance of winning." Legolas stared at the huge and ugly giants in the distance, and his mood was very low.

Raising a thick brow, Jin Li was very confident, "Gandalf will definitely be able to convince them, because their companion Dong is our partner. ”

Silently looking at the army in the distance, Aragorn wondered in his heart: in the face of such a terrifying number of enemies, even if those mages agreed to participate in the battle, how much help could they play?

At this time, on the hillside about twenty miles from Gondor City, an alternative banquet was underway.

Four or five long tables were stacked together, filled with all sorts of food and wine, surrounded by a handful of carefully selected human and elven women serving as attendants, serving the strange-looking saviors.

Admiring the siege of the city by the army in the distance, Kai raised the wine glass in his hand, "It's not bad, although it's not as spectacular as Alexander's battle against Darius, but it's still commendable." ”

"Okay, what's the old rule?" After taking a sip of wine, Laurie took the conversation.

Glancing at him, Kai replied with a smile, "Okay, I'll bet on the orcs to win, and you will make the bet." ”

Laurie immediately shook his head with a smile, "No, no, no, I'm also optimistic about the orcs, it seems that this is a gamble." With that, he turned his head to look at the others, "Did any of you bet with him?" He bets on the orcs to win, which of you wants to bet on the humans to win? ”

"I'm betting on humanity!" Suddenly, an old voice came.

However, everyone present was not the slightest surprised, they had entered and exited so many small worlds, if they didn't even have this vigilance, how could they still survive until now?

Even the bet just now was just for the other party.

Looking at the gray-robed old man with a staff and a white beard, Kai didn't get up, but raised his glass, "Welcome, local wizard, how about a drink, this is the good wine we have scooped up from the treasure of the white-robed wizard." ”

Immediately, a human woman stepped forward to pour wine for Gandalf.

Nodding his head in thanks, Gandalf did not taste the wine, he put down his glass and looked at the saviors with a serious expression.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our world is being invaded by evil, and our warriors are fighting bloodily, but the power of darkness is so strong, we need the help of all noble forces of justice, so I am here to hope to get your help."

After listening to his request, Kai shook his head disapprehantly, "It's just your war, it has nothing to do with us. ”

"We have experienced many worlds and seen many similar wars, and we have long been numb." Taking a sip of wine, Bertram interjected softly.

This answer immediately made Gandalf's heart sink, but his expression did not change, but continued to throw out the ready words: "You are all companions of the East, I think you should have the same nobility and kindness as him, and now he and Chaphu are taking Frodo to Mount Doom, preparing to destroy the Lord of the Rings......"

"That's because he likes to meddle in things, and we all advised him not to be so troublesome, anyway, we are just passers-by, what does it matter if your world is destroyed or not?" With a slap on the table, Laurie suddenly interrupted loudly.

Although their mission is to help hold Minas Stirris, they are not prepared to enter the battle in the first place.

According to their plan, they are waiting for the two sides to slowly consume, anyway, this distance can join the battle at any time, I believe that depending on the danger of that city, those orcs will have to peel off at least a layer of skin when they are the most reluctant, and when the time comes, they will attack from the side with the power of thunder.

This can not only complete the task, but also the most labor-saving and safe, why not?

As for how many of these creatures from the native world realm will die, who cares?

Even if those people are saved this time, they will still be reduced to nothingness when the World Realm is reforged, so what's the difference if they advance a little earlier?

Because with such calculations, they naturally did not mince words about Gandalf.

Besides, their mission has come to an end, Isengard has been destroyed, the war in the Valley of the Holy Helmet is no longer happening, the battle of Minas Stiris is just around the corner, and Shadon has entered Mordor with the Ring.

As long as he and the others destroy Mordor's army here, and then rush to the outside of Barado to hang around, attract the attention of the demon lord, so that Xia Dong can sneak into the Volcano Destruction Ring with the dwarf, and then all the tasks of this trip will be over, and this other world will also be reforged as the heart of the world.

What else do they need to care about this kind of native NPC?

As an old and mature Gandalf, he was naturally keenly aware of their uncooperative attitude, and his heart was even more cold.

The situation is very bad, Mordor's army is approaching, and there are ten times as many as the defenders?

Even Gondor didn't even have reinforcements, the elves were leaving Middle-earth, the dwarves had never cared about other races, and among the humans, the barbarians of the east had taken refuge in Mordor, and there was only one Lohan left in the west.

However, Rohan's king had been under the control of Saruman before, and the whole country was torn apart, and now it was slowly recovering, and there was no reinforcement at all.

As a result, Minas Stiris can now only rely on his own power to fight against the evil forces that can destroy all of Middle-earth.

But in fact, from the regent to the ordinary soldiers, everyone knows one thing: they can't hold it at all!

Without reinforcements, they couldn't have held it.

And unlike the others, Gandalf saw more than just the crisis of the White City, he knew deep down that once the city fell, it would be equivalent to the fall of Gondor, and in the current situation, once Gondor fell, it would basically mean that the entire Middle-earth realm would fall.

So now the only people who have the ability to help Gondor and help the entire world are these foreign mages in front of them.

Otherwise, he would not have arrived here at the critical moment of the siege of the great army.

It's a pity that these people are the opposite of Xia Dong and Chapman, who are overly active and attentive, although they have great power, they don't want to help at all.
