Chapter 206: Precursor to the King
"Boom!"
The burning huge stone streaked through the sky, like a meteor into the dense orc army outside the city, and in an instant, the half-orcs within a radius of 100 zhang were smashed into meat sauce, and then the burning boulder suddenly exploded again with a violent "boom", and thousands of fragments swept around like a hurricane for thousands of meters, a blur of flesh and blood, like a hell on earth.
But such a tragic scene was just a picture of the offensive and defensive battle under Minas Tirith.
It has been two months since eight million viruses and three million half-orc NPC soldiers surrounded the city of Minas Tirith, the capital of Gondor, and attacked day and night.
However, the virus did not have much advantage because of the tenfold military strength, because there were still more than twenty years before the plot officially began Armageddon, and the Demon Lord Sauron did not send his army, nor did he send the Nine Great Rings.
In addition, the Demon Lord Sauron has not yet had time to completely corrupt the white-robed Saruman and the regent of Gondor.
This regent Dinether is now in the prime of life, and the hero of the plot, Boromir, and Faramir are still children, and even Faramir has just been born.
Even though Deenethor is extremely mediocre and incompetent in the Lord of the Rings plot.
But in fact, at this time period, the regent Dinether in the prime of life can definitely be regarded as an eloquent strategy.
People say that the tiger father has no dog son.
Twenty-three years later, Boromir, as the presence of Aragorn in the Lord of the Rings, is definitely the undisputed hero of the plot, although he later died.
And the reason why Boromir was favored by his father Dinethor was entirely because this son was very good in all respects and very much like Dinethor.
But the reason why Dinether didn't like his second son was because he felt that this son was weaker.
However, as we all know, in the plot of the Lord of the Rings, Faramir is also a veritable plot hero, whether it is personal force or command ability, it is quite strong.
So in this case, how could Dinethor, the regent of Gondor, be a weak, mediocre, unassertive fellow?
That's not true.
Dineth, who is in the prime of life, is definitely very powerful, wise and powerful, and eloquent, and can be called a generation of heroes.
Otherwise, what would the Demon Lord of Sauron do to demonize him?
Just like Saruman's demon King Heyodon of the Rohanate.
If King Heudon is a lustful, mediocre bastard, does he still need to demonize and degenerate?
And, in a way, the regent Denether was better than King Heydon.
Therefore, the virus besieged the city of Minas Tirith day and night with a twelve-fold army, trying to achieve a quick victory, but the results were not friendly.
Yes, at this time, none of the most famous heroes in the Lord of the Rings are there.
But the regent in the prime of life is a hero in his own right.
On top of that, Gandalf the grey did not come, but Saruman the white came, and although he did not directly participate in the battle, Saruman brought with him his powerful alchemical artifacts.
And the white-robed Saruman of this period was many, much stronger than the gray-robed Gandalf.
Of course, the credit of the Dream Forest Legion is also indispensable, as a special army that has focused on the Lord of the Rings for three hundred years without wavering, at least a few hundred people in the Dream Forest Army have the honor of becoming the disciples of the white-robed Saruman, and they have all learned a lot without interfering with the development of the plot.
For example, the alchemical boulders launched by the three hundred trebuchets in Minas Tirith are their handiwork.
"The virus is going to retreat, we shouldn't have been so ferocious before. β
At this moment, at the top of Minas Tirith City, in front of the withered white trees, the leader of the Dream Forest Legion said with a regretful expression.
And beside her, there were the commanders of the other two large legions, and the three of them worked together, and cooperated with other small and medium-sized legions, to gather 700,000 people here.
"Haha, Captain Wen, don't let the virus listen to what you say, otherwise they will be so angry that they will vomit blood, to be honest, the early strategy of the virus is right, a quick solution, and then relying on the tactics of encircling the point to send reinforcements to defeat our anti-virus hunters in one fell swoop. But alas, they don't understand the meaning of your Dream Forest Legion in this world at all, so now that they have broken their front teeth, it is a matter of course. The other legion commander smiled happily.
"Yes, two months and eight days of offensive and defensive warfare, the virus mobilized tens of millions of troops, ten times more than me, menacing, not giving us a chance to react at all, I don't know others, I was scared to pee at that time, but who would have thought that two months later, we will not only be able to hold Minas Tirith steadily, but also kill and injure nearly three million viruses and their puppets in one go, while the casualties on our side are not even 50,000, if the virus continues to attack, I bet they will not be able to attack Minas Tirith in a thousand years. β
Another legion commander said heroically, the results of this battle are too amazing, and the foundation of the Menglin Legion in this world is too rich.
"Alas, the virus is still very cunning, and I will accept it when I see it, but this is what worries me the most. Captain Menglin frowned, " Really, I'm not afraid of them being pressed by the whole army, attacking day and night, I'm not afraid of this the most, because the current regent of Gondor, Dinethor, is really powerful, and you have also seen it in the past two months, Dinethor alone can lead three hundred elite cavalry to tear apart the army of the virus, and the SS-level virus can't withstand his three-move attack, and the laws of war on his body are very strong, and although the white-robed Saruman did not directly participate in the battle, the alchemy products he brought are terrifying You have also seen it, don't forget that he is the most powerful white-robed wizard, if Sauron can't demonize him, the Mordor army will definitely not be as unscrupulous as in the plot, invincible. β
"But now that the virus can't take over, they will definitely change their strategy and no longer focus their main forces on Minas Tirith, and I fear that they will start to follow the plot, and they won't make any more large-scale moves until the Lord of Sauron has not demonized Saruman the White and Denether, the regent of Gondor. It must be known that in the Lord of the Rings world, if you don't follow the plot, the side of the Demon Lord of Sauron is actually not strong, but as soon as you follow the plot, it will be the turn of the Middle-earth camp to be in danger, and life and death will be on the line. β
"Can we stop Sauron's demonization, then?" asked one of the legion commanders.
"No, the crystal ball has fallen into the hands of Saruman and Dinethor, you should know how powerful these two people are, and these two people are extremely proud and conceited people, didn't you see that this time Dineth's courtiers suggested lighting the beacon and seeking the support of the Rohan Kingdom, and Dinethor didn't need our persuasion at all, just vetoed it? The white-robed Saruman was completely demonized and corrupted by the Demon Lord of Sauron, but Dinethor was only negatively affected, but did not really collapse, and if it were not for the death of his most beloved son, Boromir, he would not have completely despaired. β
"So this is the malice of the main plot line, in fact, there are many good cards on the side of the coalition forces of the Middle-earth camp, and the overall strength is much stronger than the Demon Lord of Sauron, really, there are three powerful Mayan wizards on the side of the Middle-earth camp, the white-robed Saruman, the gray-robed Gandalf, the brown-robed Redagast, and the elven king Thrandil, the Noldor princess Galadriel, the elven lord Elrond, and two powerful and wise human monarchs, the king of the Rohan kingdom, Xiyodon, the regent of Gondor, Dinethor, although the dwarven side does not have an excellent leader, but it is actually curbing the invasion of the orcsγ β
"It's all good cards, if it's used correctly, there's no need for Legolas, Aragorn, Boromir, these next-generation plot heroes to appear, Sauron will be easily killed or suppressed forever, but what's the matter, the main plot line is set like this, if we use the words we are used to, it is to open the way for the true dragon son Aragorn, and it has to be so, first the brown-robed wizard Redagast disappeared, then the white-robed Saruman was demonized, and finally the two strongest leaders of the human race, Dinethor and Xiudun, were corrupted, which indirectly led to the rise of Mordorγ "Captain Menglin also looked strange when she said this, obviously, she knew the deeper truth, but she wouldn't say it.
"Then what should we do next?" asked the Legion Commander, in fact, they were not stupid, they could vaguely guess what the Legion Commander Menglin didn't say, but this matter was too involved, so they simply pretended not to know.
"What else can we do? We don't have an advantage in terms of troops, we can't start a decisive battle in the field, we can only take one step at a time, and if the virus doesn't continue to attack strongly, then whether it's the white-robed Saruman or the regent Dineser, we can't borrow our strength, and when they appear again, it's time to be corrupted." All in all, we have to wait for the heroes to come out. The Captain of the Menglin Legion sighed.
"In that way, we will be very passive. β
"Who says it's not, we could have lifted the table to kill Sauron in advance, and our 1.25 million anti-virus hunters could have done it even if there were no plot heroes, but now the number of viruses is ten times that of us, so get ready, our Menglin Legion will still be stationed in Minas Tirith and preside over the overall situation. Cross, your legion can go to the Rohan Kingdom, we can't change Sauron's demonization of the white-robed Saruman and the regent Dinethor, but we can change the demonization of King Xiyodon, as for Cheng Mao, your legion will go to the north of the Rohan Kingdom, relying on Rivendell, to monitor the Moria Pothole to the north, and to the west to monitor the Shire. β
"By the way, there are still more than 200,000 friendly troops gathered in the Rohan Kingdom, and you two legions will divide some men after they pass, don't be careless, be careful, and remember to use the campaign mode to get more growth points, which is a good thing. β
