Chapter 162: The Return of the King

The three Edwards rode on Alan, set off directly from Idoras, and headed straight in the air towards Minas Tirith, and at the top of the southern mountain range of the Shumu River, they saw seven beacons. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

"In the past, Gondor didn't need to use a rudimentary means of communication like a beacon, they had seven hedrons, and it only took a single thought from the king to make them shine all over the south. Aragorn breathed a sigh of relief at the unlit beacon, which meant that Gondor had not yet reached the point where he needed the support of the Rohan Kingdom.

"Don't let up, future King Gondor. Gandalf said, "We must hurry to Minas Tirith as soon as possible, the fact that the beacon is not ignited does not mean that Gondor is not in danger, perhaps Sauron's army has captured the Amundin beacon." ”

"No way!Minas Tirith is the most famous fortified city in Middle-earth. Aragorn retorted, "Even Sauron's army will take at least a month to capture the first beacon behind this fortified city!"

"We're here, are we going to land in the city's Consulate?" Edward asked, squinting at the city in darkness, "Aragorn is right, Sauron's army didn't enter the city. ”

It was at this time that dawn finally came, and the sun rose from the horizon to illuminate the majestic city, turning her from gray to white.

From the air, a seven-story wall surrounds the central Consulate, each with its own walls and gates. The gates were not arranged in a straight line, so that if the enemy wanted to attack the central Consulate, they would have to spiral up the winding staircase, during which the archers on the various layers of the walls would teach the attacking enemy a bloody lesson. Among the seven walls is the King's Consulate. In front of it, there is a beautiful sacred spring garden, in which there is only a dead old tree. Behind it, there is a tall white tower, the most famous white tower of Minas Tirith.

Seven stars and seven crystals, a tree of holy white. This is the impression that Minas Tirith gives people.

This is indeed an impregnable city, as long as there is still a soldier in the city, even thousands of troops will not be able to take it. Unless an enemy is attacking from the rear, climb Mt. Mindo Luan and come to the place where the hill of the garrison and the mountain range meet. However, the area was at the height of the Fifth City, facing a steep barrier as high as the cliff, and near it were the tombs of the kings, who stood in eternal silence over the towers and mountains.

"It's really a majestic and beautiful city. Edward looked at the city below and exclaimed, he had seen Stormwind and King Lordaeron, but the latter two might have a larger area than Minas Tirith, but in terms of defense, no city could match the capital of Gondor.

"We landed outside the city, and if we landed directly in the Consulate, we would have been considered attackers. "Also, Aragorn must trek through the city on foot to let the people know that their king has returned!"

Edward nodded, raising Elan's flight altitude and hiding it in the red clouds of dawn.

The three of them landed in a grove of trees at the gates of the city, Edward calmed the disgruntled Alan and hid it, and then the three of them walked to the outermost gate, just in time to see the heavy iron gate slowly open.

"Grey-robed wizard Misranda, I know you, did you bring bad news with you?" a group of guards, led by a man, stepped out, blocking the path of the three men.

"Bad news? No, this time I'm not bringing bad news, but good news that can cheer everyone up, Brother Yin. Gandalf apparently knew the captain of the guard, and straightened his face.

"What's the good news? I can't guess what other good news could cheer everyone up at a time like this?" said the captain of the guard named Ingo, "unless the monsters retreated, but that's unlikely." ”

"We're here for them, keep your ears open and hear clearly. Gandalf stepped aside and let Edward and Aragorn stand in front of the captain of the guard, "Standing in front of you is the commander of the Demon Hunter Knights, Edward Lee the Dragon Slayer. And this is Aragon, the son of Arazon, the thirty-ninth grandson of Essidor, the king of your return!"

Gandalf's words were like a thunderbolt, leaving Brother Ingo and the guards behind him on the spot. The guards cared about the dragon slayer and the king, and Ingo cared about the thirty-ninth grandson of Essidor! If the identity of the man in front of him was true, then it meant that Gondor would end years without a king and have a king to lead them again.

"This is really surprising news. After a long time, Brother Yin came back to his senses and said solemnly, "Although you are Mithlanda that I am familiar with, I can't let you go by relying on your one-sided words, at least not at this critical moment." ”

"His identity has been recognized by our Demon Hunter Knights and the King of Rohan, as well as the entire population. Edward interjected, "He fought bloodily in the Valley of the Helmet of the Rohan with the Orcs and the Denlander Alliance, won the Battle of the Valley of the Helm, and destroyed the Orc base camp in Isengard. It is because of his heroic deeds and his status as king that the Rohanate will fulfill its ancient covenant and will soon come to its aid. ”

"Forgive my suspicions, Lord Commander of the Demon Hunter Order, there may be someone who can prove your identity, please wait here for a moment. Brother Yin whispered a few words to his guard, who immediately jumped on his horse and entered the city.

After a while, Faramir, dressed in the armor of a Gondor general, hurried out on horseback, and as soon as he saw Edward, he immediately dismounted and saluted.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency Commander Edward, and ......" Faramir saw Aragorn holding the holy sword, hesitated for a moment and continued, "Your Majesty!"

"Faramor, he's really our ......" Brother Yin said in disbelief as he looked at Faramor.

"That's right, the true identity of Your Excellency Instructor was personally told by King Elon of Rivendell, and there can be no mistake. Faramir looked at the long sword in Aragorn's hand, "Please draw this sword, let us see the prophesied scene with our own eyes!"

Hearing this, Aragorn drew the Anduriel Sword and held it in front of him.

"It's really the Nahir Holy Sword!" Seeing this sword, Yin Ge no longer had any doubts, and immediately led the guards to half-kneel down and shouted loudly, "Welcome back Your Majesty!"

"Arise, my warriors. "Aragonese Tract.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to chant your name and let everyone know of the return of the king!" said Brother Yin excitedly, after receiving Aragorn's permission, he jumped on his horse and rushed to the winding road of Minas Tirith, shouting the name of Aragorn, "Listen to the subjects of Gondor! The thirty-ninth grandson of the former king Essidor! The sixteenth king of the Dendans, His Majesty Aragonese has returned! Get out of your house and be baptized by the sword of Nahir!"

Brother Yin's voice was very loud, and the people who passed by walked out of the room in great surprise.

Surrounded by Edward, Gandalf, and Faramir, Aragorn mounted Faramir's horse, held aloft his sword, and walked slowly towards the city, receiving the worship of the people.

After Hermandashir I, three great disasters hit Gondor: the royal strife, the Great Plague, and the invasion of the Iosiodians directly led to the decline of Gondor. Then the royal family became extinct, and Gondor entered the period of more than 1,000 years of prime ministership. At this time, although the power of Gondor was still strong, the people of Gondor wanted an orthodox king to lead them and restore Gondor to its glory.

After the singing of the guards at the city gates, the people learned the identities of the three men who were beside Aragorn. The gray-robed wizard Misranda was known to many of the people of Gondor, including Faramor, the son of the current Lord Regent, and the dragon slayer, the commander of the Demon Hunter Knights, whom they had heard from some poems, knew that the young man in front of them was the legendary hero who did not age.

There are these three men of great repute who bear witness to the man in the middle who holds the holy sword, and there is no reason why they should not believe in the legitimacy of the royal blood of Aragon.

As the procession progressed, more and more people walked out of their houses and knelt down. There are even some paladins who have formed a protective circle among several people to protect these people.

Finally, when Edward and the others arrived at the Holy Spring Garden in front of the Consulate, the current regent Dinether led a large number of nobles and guards in front of them.

The old man stood in the middle of the crowd, facing Aragorn. He held a scepter with a golden orb at the tip, and his ivory-white face had deep black eyes and a rebellious hooked nose. Being in a high position all year round makes Dinether full of pride and majesty, and it seems that he only needs to stare at others with his eyes to make them bow down.

"Where did the savages come from! How dare you enter Minas Tirith in the open, and how dare you pretend to be the king of my kingdom of Gondor!

After a moment of confrontation, Dinethor took the lead, and his words confirmed his thoughts at this timeβ€”he did not want to recognize Aragonese as king and lose the power of Gondor that he had held for so long.

"Stop, know where you are!" Gandalf said loudly, stopping the soldiers who were about to move, "My lords standing behind Dinethor, I don't believe that with your intelligence, you will not be able to see the origin of this Aragorn. Now what I want to say is that once you do it, you will be charged with trying to kill the king! You must think carefully!"
