Chu Xin turned his gaze to Boromir and then to Gandalf, "Saruman used the Orsank spar to form a remote alliance with Sauron, intending to seize the One Ring in my hands, so I clashed with him in Isengard, but I didn't expect him to flee to Gondor and bite back, in addition, Saruman secretly supported the Black Barbarians to invade Rohan and use humans and orcs to conduct racial breeding experiments. ”

After hearing his words, all the people sitting there looked ugly.

"I'll just tell you where the weapons and equipment of the black barbarians came from! It turned out that Saruman's old miscellaneous hair played with my! Iomund was immediately furious, knowing that many soldiers and civilians had died tragically at the hands of the barbarians of the Black Barbarians, and Saruman's act of aiding and abetting directly touched the generalissimo's scales.

"My father was skeptical, but he didn't understand why Saruman did that." Boromir sighed.

"If true, Saruman's nature is very serious," Gandalf said with a dark face, "Judging by the clues so far, alas~"

He lamented the depravity of his old friend, and he was even more jealous of Sauron.

Elrond spoke, "I am not in question for the time being, Lord Smaug, I am not questioning you, but I need stronger evidence, but it is in the best interest to deal with Saruman as an enemy for the time being. ”

The implication is to temporarily believe in Chu Xin, we can cooperate.

"According to my follow-up investigation in the last few days, there is a high probability that Saruman has already gone to Mordor, and once they join forces, the dark forces will definitely expand in the short term, and the full-scale invasion of Middle-earth may be advanced." Chu Xin said.

At this time, the bard Angelette slowly paced to the opposite side of Chu Xin, and asked calmly, "I am curious, honorable Lord Smaug, how did you come back to life?" ”

"You are?" Only then did Chu Xin notice this beautiful unfamiliar face.

Gandalf stepped forward and offered to introduce Angelette to him, "One of the most popular poems about you in Middle-earth was written by her, and Angelette has been very interested in you since you recovered. ”

Angelette also said: "Your Excellency, I have no ill intentions, I just want to gain more knowledge, for me, endless knowledge is a source of happiness, not to mention that the resurrection of the dead itself is a subject to exploration and study. ”

Chu Xin naturally wouldn't tell the truth, and after a little muttering, he said: "I don't know this, although I have the memories of Smaug before his death, but in my subjective opinion, I am not the former Smaug, we are two completely independent personalities, it is it, I am me." ”

This explanation directly clears up the history of the evil deeds of the evil dragon Smaug.

Angeli nodded, and replied with a slight disappointment, "Thank you for informing me." ”

Chu Xin's eyes swept her whole body introvertedly, this woman's temperament was as elegant as a glimmer of early morning, her gestures were quite cultural, and she had obviously been in a good atmosphere and highly educated since she was a child.

The setting of the bard is also in line with Chu Xin's first impression of Angelette.

Maybe Chu Xin is too worried, and I always feel that she is not ordinary, after all, how can she sit here be an ordinary person?

"What do you think now, Boromir? If you have any opinions, don't we just sit here to discuss them together? Gandalf said.

"Does my brother know about this?" Bolomir asked rhetorically.

"You know, he's in the lonely mountain at the moment." Gandalf replied.

"What does he think?" Boromir asked again.

"Yes, and think that His Excellency Smaug is very different from what is recorded in the history books." Gandalf patiently replied.

"I believe in Faramir, so I'm working on behalf of Gondor." Boromir can ignore others, but he values his favorite brother.

Immediately afterwards, the representatives of many forces also gave replies one after another, and they all agreed to keep the Supreme Demon Ring by Chu Xin.

In fact, they all know one thing, that is, they can't start a war with Chu Xin now, not to mention who wins and loses, and how much they lose, the infighting is to create a great opportunity for Sauron and the suspected traitorous Saruman.

At this point, the Glen Conference was a success, and although there were some episodes of controversy, the outcome was satisfactory to Gandalf and Elrond.

"I heard that you live in the former capital of the Empire, Annuminas, and have subdued the former Doonedain warriors?" Angelette asked suddenly.

Without waiting for Chu Xin to speak, Aragorn quietly cast his gaze, and Polomir looked over in amazement.

Both of them are from Dúnedain, so they naturally know the situation of Annuminas, which has long been reduced to an uninhabited ruin, where did the "former Dúnedain warriors" come from?

Chu Xin stared at Angelette very calmly, "It seems that Gandalf values you very much, and he has nothing to say to you and has no reservations. ”

"As a bard, I have a lot of curiosity to witness and record all the wonders, including you, and for good reason." Angelet smiled gently.

"You seem to care more about me than the safety of Middle-earth and the threat to Sauron?" Chu Xin asked meaningfully.

Angelette blinked calmly, "I'm just a bard, except for compiling poems and stories, I don't have any skills, and I don't have the ability to fight against the legendary Dark Lord, and your position is different from ours for the time being, I can safely get to know you and let more wonderful stories pass on, I'm sure everyone here is full of curiosity and suspicion about you." ”

What she said was a bit wrong, and it was confusing, but Chu Xin felt a trace of indescribable disobedience.

In short, this Angelette is not ordinary!

But Chu Xin didn't pay much attention to her, the most important thing at the moment was to increase the proficiency of [Smaug] from 56% to 70%, and then unlock the crossing permission, only in this way is the safest thing in this world where the gods sit high, and once the situation is not good, directly cast the escape technique.

It's a pity that Middle-earth is generally short of combat power, and if it wants to grow rapidly, the only way to do it is to formally confront Sauron's Mordor forces next.

"Now that the negotiation has been settled, then I will leave, the aggression of the Mordor army has become more and more frequent recently." Boromir got up and took his leave.

"I'm the same, Rohan's situation has been grim in the past two years, and those ugly Orcs often harass them on wolves." Iomond followed.

Aragorn was anxious to meet his old friend, Elrond's only daughter, Arwen.

Gandalf didn't leave, he still had details to discuss with Elrond, and Gimli didn't have a clue and simply followed Gandalf.

Legolas, who had been wandering in Middle-earth for many years, had nowhere to go, so he stayed in a valley with beautiful scenery and pleasant atmosphere.

Not to mention anything else, this valley is really raising people, and they have the urge to retire here.

Whew!

Chu Xin was not interested, and immediately spread his wings and flew high under the gaze of everyone.

Since the big war is imminent, the rearmament of the Skeleton Legion is bound to speed up efficiency, so he might as well serve as a transport aircraft.

"Gandalf, is this choice right or wrong?" Elrond looked at the vanished white bones and worried.

"Maybe there are no answers, there are some things that I can't control." Gandalf smashed his pipe, frowning.

He glanced at Angelett, who was silent, and his brow furrowed even tighter.

The bard carried a heavy golden notepad in her hands, and judging by the somewhat messy pages, it seemed to be a booklet in which she had written poetry.

"It's even harder to fathom than I thought~" she shrugged and smiled at Gandalf.

……

Mordor.

Under the Doomsday Volcano.

"Saruman, how many years have we'd finally met again." Sauron said in a hoarse voice.

"If I could, I really didn't want to meet you at this time, and I blamed that hateful skeleton dragon for disrupting my plans!"

Under the huge red eyes, Saruman, who was still dressed in a white robe, had a gloomy face, and his right hand holding the wand trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but feel scared when he thought that Chu Xin was actually tracking all the way according to the clues, but fortunately he entered the realm of Mordor first.

At this moment, the two fallen Maia, who both belonged to the god of the earth, Olli, officially met.

They were once glorious and noble sub-gods, but they have changed with time, and now they can only cower and hide in the dark land where birds don't.

"You and I join forces, Smaug will become our mount sooner or later, and I will let it taste the price of disobedience to me!" Sauron was hideous, and the anger that overflowed turned into a biting cool breeze, and all the dark creatures that were swept away shivered.

Even Saruman was also jealous, and he who had been sealed with magic power really couldn't fight Sauron, who was in the recovery period.

And as time went on, Sauron's injuries gradually healed, and all he needed was to return to Middle-earth in full bloom with the return of the One Ring.

"Saruman, I don't need you to go to the front to fight yourself," Sauron said, "just use your true value here, build me an army that will be feared by humans and elves, I know you have what it takes, and I appreciate the explosive weapons and the powerful orcs." ”

"You mean an army of strong orcs armed with black powder weapons?" Saruman touched his white beard.

"I have countless raw materials at your disposal, as many resources and manpower as you want," Sauron unabashedly boasted, "Also, I have two ways to deal with Smaug. ”

Saruman was immediately intrigued, "What is it! ”

"The dragon clan was created by my great master Mirkor, and as his most trusted servant, I naturally know some methods, one is the blueprint of the dragon slaying equipment hidden by the dwarves back then, I happen to have a few, and the other is the black magic dragon slaying technique given by Lord Mirkor." Sauron said with a sinister sneer.

The Mirko in his mouth is what the world calls the fallen lord god Goth, the former's real name and the latter's nickname.

"For a period of time in the future, you will fully assist Saruman, and I will grant you the dark magic of dragon slaying, and then reorganize the Ring Capture team, no matter what the war is, it will be a cover for reclaiming the One Ring." Sauron's big eyes turned to the four ringlings of Angmar, the Witch King, who was clubbed in the corner.

The four people who received the order hurriedly knelt on one knee to show compliance.

Saruman turned and looked at the vast dark plains, glancing at Sauron's eyes in the afterglow, and secretly swore inwardly, "This is the beginning of my rise, Sauron, and I will let all your efforts be taken away from me." ”

……

Since the Glen Conference, countries have been busy with the expansion of armaments, the recall of veterans, the strengthening of defensive lines, and the rebuilding of beacons.

In particular, Gondor and Rohan, who were at the gate of Mordor, and the prime minister De Nethor and King Theodon jointly issued a joint announcement to form the most important first line of defense.

The aristocracy and the populace all smelled the tension of war, and this atmosphere was like a flood, covering most of Middle-earth in a short time, and all the tribes began to prepare except for isolated places like the Charr.

And Chu Xin was not idle.

Through the gradual improvement of communication methods, partners have repeatedly asked him to help in the battle, and he himself naturally enjoys it.

Although most of the enemies are Orcs or Trolls, fortunately, there are many of them, and the number of them is full, and the proficiency has increased to 60%.

Until the beginning of a month later.

Mordor suddenly unleashes an all-out war!

Not only that, but under Sauron's orders, dark forces emerged one after another.

Mordor's army of orcs attacked Gondor in small numbers, delaying the strong Rohan cavalry.

South of Gondor, the Umbar pirates and Haradians answered the call and advanced towards the White City from the south, leaving no respite for the enemy.

To the north of Gondor, Rune's Dongyi sent troops to press on the Lonely Mountain, the River Valley State, and the Woodland Kingdom, looking to see if the war would be ignited throughout Middle-earth.

Clearly, this is not just a matter for one ethnic group or one nation, but for all people in the world.

Undoubtedly, the most tragic world war of the Third Age has begun!

……

Boom~

The ill-fated town of Changhu was once again turned into a sea of fire.

Under the clear sky, countless brutal Dongyi people are wielding scimitars to slaughter unarmed civilians.

The guards of the town had no ability to resist at all, and they were crushed in a single shot, dead and wounded, and a large number of stumps and broken arms floated on the surface of the lake.

Whoosh!

On the hillside between Hegu Bang and Changhu Town, Brand personally led 2,000 men to the expedition, occupied an excellent commanding height, and then drew their bows and arrows together, and the rain of arrows fell in turn, knocking down many Dongyi soldiers who were caught off guard.

But they reacted quickly, and the shield guards quickly stepped forward to defend.

More Dongyi soldiers took advantage of the cooldown of the soldiers of the River Valley State to quickly gallop from the side in two groups, turning long-range combat into hand-to-hand white-knuckle combat.

"Warriors, we can't afford to retreat!"

Brand bravely drew his sword and slashed off a human head with a clean slash.

Time passed minute by minute, and the fine blood flowed down the hillside into shocking blood vessels, and the Dongyi people were still attacking in an endless stream, and I don't know how many were still in the lush forest.

"Has the Woodland Kingdom been attacked as well?"

Brand scribbled his arm and looked up at the northwest where billowing black smoke was emitting.

Thundered~

At this time, the gate of the lonely mountain was fully opened, and the dwarves rode out on wild boars and bighorn sheepfish, rushing down with murderous spirit.

"Kill these barbarians for me!"

The leader was none other than the king of the mountain, Ironfoot Dain. (End of chapter)
