Chapter 154: Decision
"Who is talking about such an exhilarating thing as taking the initiative?" a voice appeared in the doorway of the hall, and Edward stood up in surprise, looking at him in disbelief. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Gandalf, whom Edward thought was dead, stood in white robes that shone with divine brilliance, and behind him stood Aragorn, Golden Bolt, and Legolas.
"I'm sorry to disturb your meal, but can you get an old fellow who has traveled a long way to get some dinner?" Gandalf said with a wink at Edward.
"Gandalf the Grey, welcome!" "Hiyudon, who knew Gandalf, welcomed the wizard to his seat when he saw the wizard arrive with a few warriors.
"Edward, long time no see. Gandalf and Edward hugged and greeted each other with a smile.
"It's like I haven't seen you for a long time, and I thought I'd never see you again. Edward patted Gandalf's arm and said, "Let me guess, after you fell into the abyss, you killed the fire demon?"
"No, to be precise, I'm doomed with it. Gandalf laughed, "But I have the protection of Iluvita and can be resurrected again, and go one step further." Now, you should call me a white-robed wizard. ”
"Yes, Your Excellency the White-robed Wizard. Edward made a joke and laughed.
Later, Aragorn, Kimli, and Legolas hugged Edward one by one.
Merry and Pippin are still alive, and Gandalf has met them. Aragorn relayed the news of the two hobbits to Edward, and whispered in his ear, "We have a good chance of getting the Treants of the Fagon Forest into battle, and if successful, they will attack Isengar directly." ”
"That's really good news. Edward laughed again.
"Hi beautiful paladin, remember me? After embracing Edward, Jin Li walked up to Iowen's side, raised the shield in his hand, and said, "Give up the defensive skills that Aragorn taught you, compared to me, his defensive skills are like the difference between mud and steel." ”
Io smiled reservedly, glanced at Aragorn without a trace, and said, "Of course, Mr. Jinli, your skills are indeed excellent, and I have been practicing them all the time. ”
Jin Li laughed happily: "What an empathetic girl, it's a pity that you don't have a long beard and are too tall, otherwise maybe I would have fallen in love with you." ”
"Come on, Jin Li. Legolas was drinking water, almost amused by the golden bolt's words, "If your words come true, you will be beaten by many paladins, and only those dwarven paladins will be happy to see it." ”
Everyone laughed, shaking their heads at the dwarven paladin, and for a moment, the dull atmosphere began to lighten up.
After the joke, Gandalf solemnly said to Youdon, "Old friend, I think Iowen's words can be considered. As long as the Demon Hunter Knights are in battle, we will have enough strength to resist Saruman's army. ”
"Before reinforcements from the Demon Hunter Knights arrive, all we need to do is draw the attention of the Saruman army and slow them down to catch up with the refugees so that more refugees can gather here. "Then, we can draw their main force into an easy place to defend and attack them, and flank them with reinforcements from the rear!"
"Where it's easy to defend and hard to attack?" Hiudon looked at Edward, "You mean ......"
"Helmet Valley!" Edward said with a simple map on the table with the light, "Here, just south of Isengard, an impregnable fortress-type castle is our last resort. ”
"And the reinforcements of the Knights will enter from the Fagon Forest! Attack Saruman in Isengar directly, and then march south from Isengard!
"But there's no way back! if we fail......" Gandalf frowned.
"Gandalf, we are paladins of the Knights of the Demon Hunters, and since we are in the war, we are responsible. Edward said solemnly, "If we fail, there will be no need for our Demon Hunter Knights to exist." We have no way out, and under the half-orc wolf cavalry, the people of the Rohan Kingdom will not be able to escape. We must fight against the odds, and we must protect the people, even if we use our sacrifices to prove our justice!"
"Yes, I agree with the Commander's decision!" Iowen was the first to speak, her tone full of excitement, this was the Demon Hunter Knights he longed for.
"I'm in favor too!" Legolas said, raising his hand, "instead of fleeing to Gondor with a large number of refugees, it is better to fight with all your might in the Valley of the Holy Helm! ”
"Let those orc scum taste the power of our dwarven paladins!" Jin Li also raised his hand in agreement.
Aragorn looked at the few people who seemed to be carried away by the blood, and raised his hand with a smile. During his many years in the Demon Hunter Order, he truly appreciated the will of the Paladin, a power that purified his heart and soul that could motivate him to keep going.
As for Prince Sheyod, of course he supported Edward's decision, not to mention the unconditional help of the Demon Hunter Knights, even if Edward's own existence made him 100,000 confident in the victory of this battle.
"Edward, calm down. It's not the same as the Battle of the Fortress back then! there is no secret passage in the Valley of the Holy Helmet for us to retreat!" Gandalf advised.
"I'm calm, Gandalf. Edward looked Gandalf in the eye and said, "That's my decision, if I was asked to watch so many refugees die, I couldn't do it, I'd rather live and die with them." ”
"Then Your Majesty, your decision is ......" Edward said so, and Gandalf had nothing to refute.
"I have decided to accept Mr. Edward's opinion!" Hiudon thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind, "We will fight the orcs to the death in the Valley of the Holy Helm!
"Hama, give my order at once, and tonight, we will carry out the ceremony of judging Grima! After the ceremony, all the people will pack up their march, and the cavalry will open the way for them as the vanguard, and we will abandon Idoras and retreat to the Valley of the Holy Helm!"
The chief of the guard, Hama, accepted the order and went to set it up, and Hiyudon looked at Edward again, and solemnly saluted the Demon Hunter Commander, "Thank you again for your selfless help!
"It's our duty, Your Majesty!" Edward replied, "We Demon Hunter Knights exist to slay evil!"
