Chapter 770: Good and Bad
Huon formed a mighty army, with branches, leaves, trunks, and countless roots staggering, and marched south under the management of the Treants. From a distance, they look like a green, moving lake, about to extinguish the enthusiasm www.biquge.info of the Saruman orcs for war.
Zhao Mai and the elves stood on the shoulders of the tree people and began to climb west over the Misty Mountains. The tall treemen stretched out their hands and their fingers climbed into the crevices of the rocks, and when they lifted their feet, their roots dug deep into the mountain. You've certainly seen trees that have grown out of the cliffs, twisted but tenacious, able to withstand the weather, rain and snow, and the Treants are stronger than those trees.
"There was good sunshine on the top of the mountain, but it was too windy and the rocks were too hard. If I had to choose, I would still prefer soft and moist depressions, preferably next to streams, where there is always an endless view. While climbing the mountain, Shuhu said to Zhao Mai: "It's just that the creek is changeable, and the mountain can last longer, so there are always good aspects and bad aspects to everything." ”
Zhao Mai nodded. Although he didn't have to hurry, he was not idle, and he had been using spells to strengthen the mountain, so that the rocks and dirt could better carry the weight of the tree man.
"Thank you for your spell Myron, you have allowed us to survive for a longer time. "Although we have an infinite lifespan and nature is our friend, there are still many things that can take our lives. If there is no tree wife, if there is no tree man baby, we will eventually die. ”
"What are your thoughts on working with Gardener Dragon?"
"Uh-huh, we're not quite decided, because the Gardener Dragon is a creature we've never seen before, and it's too short for us to form an opinion. And she is soft, how can she survive the test of time and wind and rain?" Shuhu glanced at Zhao Mai, and then said: "However, Gardener Long is very good at taking care of plants and animals, and he likes it from the bottom of his heart, we can see this. So, we're willing to try to take the gardener dragons and then observe them. ”
"They'll be able to help you, you're going to love those cute little creatures. Zhao Mai raised his head and looked at the majestic and precipitous misty mountain range. The reserve that had already been teleported to the top of the mountain stood on the edge of the cliff, poking his head out and looking down. A gust of wind blew, blowing its deliberately dripping saliva somewhere. So the dog licked his nose and gave up his plan to bomb Zhao Mai.
It took them two days to reach the first peak, and another five days to reach the highest peak at the southern end of the Misty Mountains. They didn't make it to the top, because it was a waste of time and unnecessary. They only had to look south from the hillside to see the huge black tower of Isengard, the Ozark Tower where Saruman lived.
The deep valley flickered with red fire, the ground was shrouded in layers of gray smoke, and the Ozokta was like an iron rod stuck in a charcoal fire, and its figure was blurry and unrecognizable. Treebeard's eyes narrowed, then he exploded into a rage, smashing the rocks beside him with a single punch. "Saruman, how can a white-robed wizard do this?! You should love the world instead of hurting it with iron and fire! Look at the evil you have done, look at what you have made the good woods! If you want destruction and death, then destruction and death will knock on your door!"
The treemen shouted in unison, and then began to descend the mountain. Zhao Mai recited a mantra to summon the mist in the mountain, covering the hillside and covering the movement of the treemen. They soon found the source of the River Eisen in the mountains, so they stopped to put their feet in it and drink well.
Groffindel was in command of the operation, condescending to see the defense of Ozhackta. Due to the cutting down of the surrounding woods, the area around Osankta is very bare and unobstructed. Originally, a stone fence was built, but it was only three meters high, and the tree man could easily climb over it. In addition, many parts of the wall have been torn down, and large stones are used as building materials by orcs and goblins.
As Zhao Mai had predicted before, Saruman was in a hurry and couldn't take care of all directions, especially the north side, which he didn't think was a threat. The camp of the Saruman Orcs is on the south side of Osankta, where there was once a beautiful lake, but now it is almost flat with garbage. Saruman built dikes and various gears along the hillside, huge waterwheels, gears and conveyor belts to carry a steady stream of power to the goblins' workshop, where they were powered by lifts, cranes and conveyor belts.
"The key to this battle is to destroy the dam, and then the flood water spewing from the mountains will take out most of the enemy. Groffindale said, "By the time we appeared, Saruman was already aware of it and attacked with spells. Tverdo, how about you with four treants and make sure you destroy the dam?"
"Okay, promise to get the job done. ”
"Then, the rest of the elves descended the mountain with the treants, and did you see the wall on the east side of the Ozokta? It was relatively intact, except for two gaps. Just plugging it up will make the water flow more skewed to the south and west sides where the orcs gather. If we were to pick a direction to attack, the east side would be the first choice. Don't concentrate too much, lest you be hit by Saruman's spells. As for the orcs and goblins, I don't think any of you will be afraid, right?"
Whether it was a tree man or an elf, everyone laughed together. Zhao Mai put up a pergola in his hand and looked into the distance, and then said to Groffindelle: "I saw several movable catapults in the camp of the orcs in the south, most likely prepared to attack a certain place. Although the Treants are tall and strong, you should also be aware of the threat of trebuchets. ”
"Speaking of which, I am reminded of an old thing. Shuhu said: "In the Misty Mountains, there lives the Stone Giant, the only ground creature in Middle-earth that is even bigger than us, and can reach more than 20 meters tall. They are usually motionless, as if they are part of a mountain. I can call them though. ”
"Will Saruman be heard?" said Groffindelle.
"Oh, unless the man is lying on the ground and puts his ear to the rocks and dirt to hear the sound of the earth. "No," said Shuhu, "Saruman always straightens his back, and he won't hear it." I just don't know if the stone giant in the mountain is still there, can I hear it. They can easily throw tons of large stones thousands of meters away, which is extremely helpful to us. ”
"There are never too many helpers. Groffinddale agreed. He looked at the sky and saw that the sun was slowly sinking into the peaks, and said, "We can wait for the night, attack at dawn, destroy the dam, and then take the east side of the fence and let the sun shine behind us." Hopefully, overnight will allow Golem to arrive in time. ”
"Speaking of Golem, I think of something. Zhao Mai took out a huge horn: "Blow it hard, it can summon the phantom of the giant." Those giants don't know how to fight, but they are good at building things. You can have them close the gaps in the wall and turn them into temporary retaining walls. ”
Groffindale took the heavy horn and nodded.
