Treebeard transforms into a demon treeman, and instead of losing his memory, he becomes a dark creature like the Darkleaf King.

With the exception of him, almost all of the Treants who participated in the battle this time were left behind, and were bound as before.

Saruman and the Dark Leaf King didn't mean to waste it, the two of them worked together, and used the dark power contained in the Dark Ring to erode all of them into Demon Tree People, a total of eighty-five Demon Tree People.

By the time the erosion was complete, the number of demon tree people had reached more than one hundred and forty.

This number is already a not weak legion for a large unit.

After consulting with Saruman, the Darkleaf King led the Treants into the Fagon Forest to take on the defense of the periphery and search for the Treants.

The outer circle is only one or two hundred meters away from the cutting circle on the edge, although it is not long, but this distance is already enough to meet the cutting progress of the orc troops, and the people who fled and scattered in the entire woods, even if they are unwilling, it is impossible to organize more people again to break through this defense line.

Because of this distance, the Demon Tree Corps and the Orc Troops formed a rapid support cooperation with each other.

Instead of staying where he was, the trolley Ellig went into the depths of the Fagon Forest alone with a mace.

He's going to follow the Fagon Forest all the way to the upper end of the Misty Mountains, where he can ambush more trolls.

He needs his own corps, so that he can share the worries of his great master, and in order to better capture the Rohan kingdom in the future.

Ashg did not continue to wander in the Fagon Forest, he retreated from the front line and returned to the fortress of Isenger with his wolf cavalry.

Rather than wandering aimlessly in the depths, he had a more important task of raising and training a new army in Isinger.

In the Eisinger Fortress, the Rift Valley Arsenal embedded in the underground is not just one, more precisely, the entire Esinger underground, like a rift-like place, is connected to each other.

And in such an interconnected underground arsenal, there is not just one, but four mother trees of war.

Every day, the total number of dark orcs that can be born is around two hundred.

There are many of them, and if they are to serve as auxiliaries, then they do not need special instruction, but if they want to be a qualified warrior, then they need more rigorous training.

At least they have to learn how to fight, how to tear their enemies apart, how to defend the glory of Isengard, how to defend the interests of their masters.

Therefore, they need training, training of recruits.

There is also the Beast Mountain, the source of the monster created by Zhang Ziyu with flesh and blood.

The beast mountain is already gradually breeding more wolves and long-haired wild boars. And trolls, these beasts and monsters also need more training and management.

In the past month, under the continuous cultivation of the mother tree, there are five or six thousand more dark orcs in the fortress of Isengard.

Some of them were grouped into the auxiliaries to craft weapons and armor in the fortress of Isengard, while many more newborn orcs were added to the fighting force by Ashg.

Thanks to the wolf and long-haired wild boar born in the month of Beast Mountain, the former has incubated about 500, and the latter has more than 300.

Combined with the occasional capture of wolves and long-haired boars from the forests of Fagon, the number of cavalry mounts has reached a thousand.

Based on these, Ashg created an orc cavalry and a combat force of 3,000 men.

However, with the increase in the number of orcs and monsters in Esinger, a problem is also placed in front of Zhang Ziyu, that is, the problem of food.

Isengar is a good place, located in the north of the Rohanate, north of the Misty Mountains and Elven territory, and south of the Rohan, which can be driven straight from the Rohan to Gondor.

Such a position just forms a situation with Mordor, the easternmost one, making the Rohan Kingdom and Gondor enemies, and the elves are no better, as long as Saruman here in Isenger has his hands free, he can interfere with them.

That's why Sauron went to great lengths to bewitch Saruman from the Eye of Knowledge, and even made Saruman think that he and Mordor could rule Middle-earth in an alliance.

Such a location is fortunate to be located in the heart of Middle-earth, which is convenient for doing things.

But naturally, there is a very big disadvantage, that is, the space for development is limited.

Saruman is a wizard who knows how to fight with a hammer.

He was bent on getting things done with Sauron, but he knew how to fight and fight, and he didn't have a strategy for development at all.

In such a place, food is the most scarce thing, because they have no extra place to grow food, so the army they feed must not be large.

Saruman used magic to create an army of orcs, and then had them raid the kingdom of Rohan in order to obtain supplies.

For a short time, this was no problem, but there was no doubt that he would soon reach his limit and would not be able to feed more orcs.

And his "ally" Sauron, this guy's lair is in Mordor, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the towering mountains of Mordor are not far behind the Misty Mountains.

On the west side of the mountain range, there is only a gap in the valley of the continuous mountains, the Cave of Minas, which has been made into an impregnable fortress by Mordor called the Black Gate.

With towering walls, endless orc troops, and the Magic Eye that keeps an eye on everything at all times, few armies can break through here.

There are no mountains to the east, and the road is all plains with doomsday volcanic eruptions, and the land is incomparably vast, and the soil is more fertile than anywhere else in Middle-earth.

Coupled with the fact that Sauron had captured a large number of human slaves to cultivate this area, his wealth was enough to beat humans and dwarves, which was the direct reason why he was able to feed hundreds of thousands of orcs.

With such a gap, Saruman, a simple man, thought that he could join forces with the other party, and took the initiative to do things.

The original trajectory was directly smashed by play, stolen by the tree man, and then stabbed to death by his subordinates.

Now that the food problem is exposed, and Zhang Ziyu wants to play the game well, then naturally he can't play like this.

"Ashge, you come back with cavalry to plunder the population of the Rohanate, and the surrounding land needs to be cultivated by people, and food will be accumulated along with it."

"Yes."

Ashge received Zhang Ziyu's order and immediately set out from Osankta, with his own troops, towards the south of the Rohan Kingdom.

The wolf cavalry and the long-haired boar are very fast, they are muscular, extremely tall, and more powerful than ordinary horses.

In less than a day, they were in the land of the Rohans.

The kingdom of Rohan is a kingdom of human steppes, with vast pastures and plains that make it rich in horses.

Over the years, this kingdom has had another well-known name, the Hussar Nation.

Their knights were very numerous and not weak in combat.

On such a battlefield of the homeland, the knights of the Rohan Kingdom will be an invincible torrent of steel.

However, now the advantage of the terrain could not stop the orc cavalry.

And this time, their goal was not cavalry, but to loot more people and supplies.

Not far away, I already saw a village slowly smoking from cooking.

Ashg raised his scimitar: "Rush, bring the population back to Isenger and dedicate it to the master." ”

"Kill!"

The orc cavalry rushed towards the village like a torrent, and the sound of the beast's hooves on the ground was like an earthquake.

The people of Rohan saw a torrent of steel in the distance, and their horror swept through the country in an instant.

"Quick, report to the lord!" (End of chapter)
