When a crowd gathered around the returning king into the Throne Hall, only Dinethor and Faramir were left on the Sacred Springs. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"That's how losers are treated, my son. At this time, Dinethor did not have that silly smile, his face was lonely, and there was sadness and indignation, but there was absolutely no expression that a madman should have, and he was even a little relieved.

"Father, you ......" Faramir looked at his father in surprise.

"You may not be wrong in your choice, but trust me, the Demon Hunter Knights can't be trusted. "Since they have no interest in Gondor, the only explanation is that what they are trying to do is much bigger. ”

"I don't believe that an organization that has worked hard for nearly four decades and has great power will help others without asking for anything. ”

"I think you're wrong, father. Faramir, a loyal member of the Order, retorted, "From my time in life and study in the Order, this is a place where the righteous gather, who have no ambitions, who seek only their own convictions and wills. ”

"It only shows that Edward is well hidden. Dinethor smiled slightly, then put his arm around Faramor's shoulder and said, "Okay, we don't have to argue about this, since I have lost the right to Gondor, then it means that I can only retire at home in the future, maybe that's not bad?"

"I'll take good care of you, father. Faramor was very satisfied with the final outcome of this matter, "And my brother, I believe that he will be able to finally complete his mission and return safely." ”

The return of King Aragorn II of Gondor lifted up all the people of Gondor. That night, the people of Minas Tirith all walked out of their houses and spontaneously celebrated in celebration of their return to His Majesty the King.

But Aragon did not celebrate, nor did he take place the coronation. When he ascended the throne, his first order was for the lords of all the provinces of Gondor to lead their troops to Minas Tirith to fight against the approaching orc army.

At the same time, in order to reassure the people of the kingdom's capital, he released the news that 5,000 hussars and 5,000 demon hunter knights of the Rohan Kingdom were rushing to Minas Tirith and would jointly defend Minas Tirith.

This news made everyone feel excited for a while, whether it was the hussars of the Rohan Kingdom or the paladins of the Demon Hunter Knights, they were all powerful forces, and with their help, people believed that they could win this battle.

A few days later, the soldiers and horses of the lords from all over the country came to Minas Tirith, and several lords also entered the council hall to discuss the pre-war discussions.

Sauron's army came quickly, and the black army overwhelmed Osgilias, which Gondor had abandoned, and the Chen army and the plains of Paliano, facing Minas Tirith.

As you can see from the high walls of Minas Tirith, the composition of Sauron's army is very complex, most of them are half-orcs, mixed with a large number of trolls, cart-pulling beasts, Haradians, mammoths, eastern barbarians, southern barbarians, and the black-eyed and red-tongued people of Far Harad. In the distant sky, there were dark clouds, and under those dark clouds, there were quite a few trolls.

Sauron's army is like ants, pouring out of the Minas Cave!

The generals and soldiers who watched from the walls gasped, Sauron's army was unexpectedly strong, not only were they far outnumbered, but also looked very strong individually. The belief in victory, which had finally risen in their hearts, was once again dispelled by the scene in front of them, and the dark cloud of defeat enveloped their hearts.

"Edward, haven't our reinforcements arrived yet?" asked Aragorn, dressed in the king's armor.

"It's here. Edward closed his eyes and felt it, "But now the road to Minas Tirith has been blocked by Sauron's army, and they can only assemble at the northern foot of the Paliano Plain, waiting for His Majesty's orders. ”

Aragorn sighed, things had turned out beyond his expectations, and the march of Sauron's army was too fast for him to muster his army.

At this moment, a holy light broke through from the dark clouds and dense gargoyles in the distant sky—Alan's massive body broke through Sauron's aerial blockade at great speed, and soon flew to the Holy Spring Garden, landing on Edward's side, muttering something in the bird's beak.

"Thank you for your hard work, go and rest. Edward patted Elan's feather, then turned to look happy.

"Good news, I suppose?" asked Aragorn.

"It's good news, and it's great news. Edward laughed, "Just ten days ago, the combined forces of the Lonely Mountain, Iron Hills, Rivendell, and the Woodland Kingdom defeated the Northern Orcs and the Eastern Army in the Dale Valley, and then the entire army marched south along the Anduin River. Alan found the army in the southern part of the Death Swamp, and it was expected that in three days, they would be here. ”

The generals of the Sacred Springs cheered, and the participation of the dwarves and elves finally gave them hope.

"Three days, that means we must hold Minas Tirith for three days?" Aragorn still frowned, he didn't think Sauron would give them three days.

"It may take longer. Edward said, "The armies of dwarves and elves have come here after a long journey, and they need to rest. ”

"Edward, Gandalf, is there a way to deal with that cloud?" Aragorn looked at the sky as Sauron's dark clouds said.

"There's nothing we can do. Gandalf and Edward shook their heads in unison, and Gandalf explained, "It's so close to Mordor, and Sauron's magic has become so powerful that I don't think we'll be able to break that cloud with what we can do." Even if he succeeds, Sauron will soon be able to gather the clouds again to assist his army in the battle. ”

"Maybe I can try to do some damage to Sauron?" said Edward suddenly, "and this will require the help of your scepter. ”

Aragorn and Gandalf looked at the Orb of Wisdom on the scepter, and immediately understood what Edward was planning.

"No, Edward, you can't do that, it's dangerous. Aragorn immediately vetoed, "Perhaps your Light can deal with Sauron, but if it fails, you will be greatly harmed." In times like these, we need you. ”

"Your Majesty is right, Edward. Gandalf also said, "With our current strength, we may not be a match for Sauron's army, we have strong support and the strong walls of Minas Tirith, if Sauron does not take this place in these days, then they will be surrounded by us." When the time comes, their numerical superiority will be exhausted in our encirclement!"

"They can't run out. Edward looked at the steady stream of orcs on the distant horizon and said, "Don't lie to yourself anymore, Gandalf, you should know Sauron well. As long as Sauron is around, the orcs will continue to crawl out of Mordor, and we must deal a heavy blow to Sauron. ”

Once Edward had made up his mind, few people could change his mind. And the reason why Edward firmly believes that he can deal with Sauron is that he has a strong soul!

Gandalf and Aragorn looked at each other, and finally bowed their heads in acquiescence.

In the chamber, Edward stood in front of the Crystal Sphere. A group of paladins formed a circle around him, protecting him in it, while others watched from the periphery as the man tried to confront Sauron with his soul, their hearts filled with admiration.

Faramir helped Dinethor to the place, and the latter looked at Edward's eyes full of complexity. His old and old appearance was the result of his confrontation with Sauron, and no one knew better than him what would happen when he fought against Sauron's soul.

In vain, Edward opened his piercing eyes and picked up the Orb of True Knowledge with one hand.

In the crystal sphere, the fiery eye representing Sauron arrived as scheduled, and his scream made the people around him feel a wave of fear, and they took a step back in unison.

A powerful soul blast surged towards Edward, and the evil consciousness entered Edward's soul without resistance, constantly attacking his spirit.

"Ah...... Edward Lee, you dare to pick up this orb of crystal, you are killing yourself. "Sauron, dressed in armor, appeared in Edward's soul, and Sauron's appearance brought with it a great deal of evil aura that quickly polluted the place full of holiness.

Edward's soul stood right in front of Sauron, looking at Sauron with a solemn face. And what is extremely inconsistent with this scene is that in the distance of the two, there is also a soul in a colorful T-shirt, lying on the chaise longue, looking at the two of them.

Richard didn't plan to make a move, but in this soul, he couldn't hide it, so he simply watched calmly.

Sauron has entered the souls of many people, but has never encountered such a situation. But now he had no time to care about that fancy soul, and Edward felt very dangerous to him, and he had to give it his all.

"Let me see what kind of past our mysterious Demon Hunter Knights Commander has!" Sauron screamed, and where the evil aura was covered, Edward's memories appeared, most of which were Edward's deep grief in his heart, and his only weakness at the moment.

"Hatred, yes, Your Excellency, your heart is full of hatred. "Sauron's soul impact has the same devouring attribute as the original otherworldly soul, but the former's soul impact is even more powerful, and it also carries the effect of making Edward almost crazy.

"You demon hunters fought diligently for the people, only to be betrayed by the Alliance!Aha, yes, your whole family died in the betrayal of the Alliance, and your mighty father and your beautiful mother were slain by the enemy!"

"They are the ones you are protecting, they are jealous of you, they do not want to see you strong, they have forgotten your favor and have succumbed to the coercion of the enemy! they must die! you will kill them all, you will ......"

"Are you finished?" Edward's soul was constantly weakened by Sauron's evil words and soul impact. But just when Sauron thought he was going to succeed, a burst of light erupted from Edward's heart, enveloping his entire body. (To be continued.) )
