White City.

"Harald's Elephant Legion has been dispatched!" Boromir's face was hard to see.

Although they call the warlike peoples of the periphery Dongyi and Nanban, none of these ethnic nations are easy to mess with, all of them are skilled, brave and good at war, and have a lot of strange magic and armies.

"That legion of strong orcs with explosives weapons is also tricky," Aragorn looked around, unable to think of a way to break the game for a moment, "It's too much for us to do it alone. ”

"Don't worry, I'm sure Lord Skeleton King will soon get rid of the Witch King of Angmar and come here." The skeleton giant standing in front of everyone heard the unwavering voice of the skeleton general.

At this moment, the giant's arms were covered with scorched black marks after the explosion, and the small arm with the most hit surface actually had clearly visible potholes!

And those unsuspecting Gondor soldiers fell to the ground in large swaths, either with their foreheads wide open or the back of their heads missing, as if they had been blown up by air-to-surface missiles, killing and wounding at least hundreds of people.

It can be seen that the industrial pioneer Saruman has made further progress in the research of black powder, and may have also enchanted explosives, such as the blasting charm that enhances the ability to pierce.

Rushing~

Seeing that his comrades-in-arms were injured, the skeleton soldiers around him gathered one after another, and all of them merged into one, and their overall quality was greatly improved.

"Trebuchet, yes, attack the elephant with the trebuchet!" Gandalf had an idea, turned around and yelled.

But he was a step too late, there were obviously smart people in the Orc army, and the trolls launched another round of boulder falls, and a dozen large stones were aimed at the few seven or eight trebuchets in White City.

When the smoke rises, there are less than three trebuchets, and the once-glorious city becomes a smoky, screaming war-damaged version.

Even if the civilians wanted to escape, there was no safe passage, because the White City was backed by the White Mountains, and outside the city was an unobstructed plain, and even if a pigeon flew out, it would have to be shot down by the Orc army.

What's more, the current world war is out-and-out and the entire eastern part of Gondor has been reduced to a war-torn purgatory, so how can there be a safe shelter?

"There is only one way to die in the battle of the trapped beasts," the voice of the skeleton general came from within the giants, "we must take the initiative to break the game, otherwise there is really no hope!" ”

"I understand, but how can I break it?" Bolomir spat out a bloodied tooth from his mouth, and his eyes were like a murderous caged wolf.

Airplanes!

Aragorn pulled out the human emperor's sword at his waist, and disappeared in a flash of confusion, replaced by perseverance, "We are 'broken', at this time, of course, we will take the lead and kill the enemy army, as for whether it will die or not, it doesn't matter, what matters is whether we can fight for humanity and Middle-earth." ”

The skeletal giant, who was ravaging the Oaks, looked back and said in a reassuring tone, "You are worthy of being the human emperor in the mouth of adults, you and I have the same thoughts. ”

"Isn't it just to take the lead? I'm super good at it! Gimli waved his tomahawk with eagerness.

Suddenly, the men noticed that Legolas had come out on his white horse, and said to Gimli, "Compare who kills more enemies." ”

"Oh? Then I can't lose to the elves! Gimli smiled and rode a large horned argali, which was not as tall as a tall horse, but had a muscular chest and limbs, and a pair of horns on his head that could easily collapse a man's ribcage.

The conversation came to an abrupt end, and everyone looked at each other very tacitly and sent each other a smile of encouragement.

At this moment, the communication between men is all in words, and a look and a movement interpret everything.

"Arno's lost glory is inherited by us, ladies and gentlemen, let us old bones fight a bloody path for future generations!"

The Skeleton General roared loudly, and everyone in the Skeleton Legion replied with all their strength.

The skeletal giant stretched out its slender legs and led Aragorn and the others into the overlapping enemy army, rushing towards the enemy camp and Harald's army in the rear.

Boom!

Boom!

The Skeleton Giant in its full state doesn't need to attack deliberately at all, and can send away dozens of Orcs with a random sweep of his legs and a kick.

With him opening the way, as if entering no man's land, he was followed by the elite army led by Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, and Bolomir, and, with their example, their morale was high, and the chaotic human army regrouped and began to form a defensive formation in an orderly manner, and some of them joined them bravely and fearlessly.

But this is a brutal battlefield, not to mention that the enemy is far stronger than imagined, and courage is a good medicine, but also a cup of poisonous wine.

Whew!

The Orc Legion fired hundreds of explosive arrows again.

Even though the skeleton giants resisted a third of them with their bodies, dozens of people died tragically in an instant, and metal orbs splattered out, piercing their skulls and shattering their brains.

Obviously, this time the explosive arrow was different from the previous ones, and Saruman's thinking was extremely malleable, and he even created a version of the steel ball grenade in Middle-earth.

No, it's supposed to be a steel ball RPG.

"Roar—"

The skeleton giant roared, and suddenly accelerated its leap, leaping towards the location of the strong orc legion.

The strong orcs who were about to carry out the third round of attacks were suddenly shocked into a cold sweat and hurriedly drove the wolf to dodge.

"Boom", the ground shook violently.

Many wolves were shocked and flew out, and the strong orcs above flew out.

Suddenly, the orcs from all directions gathered fire to besiege the skeleton giant, and when the commander of Mordor saw this, he immediately retreated according to his survival instinct, causing the formation of the army to loosen.

And Aragorn and they did not live up to their expectations, seized this excellent opportunity to break through, broke through the siege in one fell swoop, and used blood and corpses to penetrate this largest phalanx.

They can't rest there yet, because the real fierce battle has just begun.

Five hundred meters away, there is the Giant Elephant Legion of the Harads!

Neither the Orcs nor the Trolls are as threatening in siege as those behemoths with hideous fangs.

Once the giant elephants came to the gates, they crumbled with all the force of their size, regardless of what material the walls were made of.

So, Aragon's goal is to take out the Elephant Legion.

"Why are these beasts so big?" Gimli swallowed.

"Chop off their heels, beware of the Haralds above." Aragon was quick to judge.

On the back of each of the giant elephants was a wooden tower sentry, and there were seven or eight Harad archers, and when they saw Aragorn, they all began to draw their bows and shoot arrows.

Sou!

……

Rohan.

The royal capital, Edoras.

After the cavalry army had rested, Theodon glanced at the spirit of the wilderness lying not far away, and then at the destroyed canyon, which he felt somewhat strange.

However, he was still very grateful to the skeleton king, and once again he was kind to Rohan, and as a king, he must find an opportunity to repay him, he thought.

Dusk has arrived, and the sky will be dark.

Under the eyes of the people's concern and respect, the army marched south.

However, they had not traveled far, and were still within Adoras' field of vision, when the army stopped.

"Is that sunset?" Iomund looked suspiciously at the mountains to the west.

Behind the gray ridge, a large cloud of shining red light was rising, saying that it was sunset, but how could there be such a dark red and strange glow.

"I don't feel good, Array!" Theodon follows sensitive intuition.

And the spirit of the wilderness also emerged from the ground with a skeletal head, staring at the increasingly intense and fiery "sunset" as if it were facing a great enemy.

One by one, the horses began to feel uneasy, as if they smelled a looming crisis.

"That's ...... What? ”

On the high platform of the palace of Adoras, Iodwin said in horror.

She was in a higher position, so she had a broader field of vision, and at this moment, several people, including the prince and princess, all saw a huge figure wrapped in raging flames.

It stepped onto the top of the hill with the flames that rendered the night, and looked down on the Rohan cavalry in a fierce and furious manner.

In the blink of an eye, the entire heaven and earth were filled with a scorching and hot breath, and the majestic evil power continued to spread, and the brave war horses were weak in their limbs and retreated one after another.

"How so?" Theoton's eyes widened in disbelief.

"What kind of creature is that?" Iomond asked in a trembling voice, as the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses, he actually found that he was trembling uncontrollably, and the fear in his heart welled up uncontrollably.

"A powerful demon that exists in ancient books, a demon who dwells in flames and shadows, a demon of fire." Theodon choked.

Boom~Boom~

The fire demon walked down the hill step by step, revealing his burly body of twenty meters in the moonlight.

The humanoid body, with a skeletal face and huge demonic horns, burst out of the body with dark red flames, lining the skin like red-hot rock charcoal, and the sideburns around the neck burned the most vigorously, like a brilliant fire cloak.

Boom~Boom~

With each step it took, the cavalry army would take a step back, and the unified formation would be quietly disrupted, and the army's morale would be unstable in an instant.

"Hiss~"

When they saw the terrible demon's face, Theodon and Iomond shuddered.

Don't blame them, even Gandalf, who is the sub-god Maia, will show a desperate look when he sees it.

The Firedemons were once the same level of sub-gods as Sauron and Gandalf, Maia, who were corrupted by the evil power of Morgoth into fallen gods who wield the flames of sin.

As a former Protoss, the Flame Demon's combat power is unquestionable, and it can be said that it is one of the most powerful legions under Morgoth, and in terms of combat performance, the Dragon Clan cannot be compared.

After all, the flightless Fire Demon often rides dragons in war.

After Morgoth was imprisoned and exiled, the Firedemons were defeated and slain one by one, leaving only a handful of lost dogs hiding in the dark corners of Middle-earth, waiting for the dark forces to rise again.

And this fire demon, from the dwarven abandoned Moriath Mine, has been hiding underground.

In fact, Chu Xin went to the Moria Mine and slaughtered the Oaks who occupied it by the way, however, he crashed all the way to the deepest depths, and he didn't find the fire demon who appeared in the movie, but smelled the residual smell of old acquaintances.

In fact, it was Sauron who ordered Saruman to go to the Moriath Mine, after all, the Fire Demon and Sauron are of the same level, and it is likely that the Witch King of Angmar will return in vain. Saruman successfully persuaded the Fire Demon to come out of the mountain, and handed over Sauron's gift, the Heart of the Fire Demon, and after eating the heart of the same kind, Moria's Fire Demon strength increased greatly, and his height also increased from more than ten meters to twenty meters.

The Fire Demon happened to be in Rohan to absorb the energy of the Fire Demon Heart, and the movement of the Spirit of the Wild caught its attention.

"Humans? Along with your ugly nests, you ants will be reduced to ashes in my flames, and there will be filthy undead creatures who will be baptized by my heat! ”

The fire demon, who hadn't killed for a long time, suddenly had a killing intent, and it changed from orderly walking to extremely fast running, plus it was on a downhill road, and the momentum that erupted in an instant was simply terrifying.

"Lair?" Theodon looked back and immediately understood what he had said.

The undulating silhouette in the distance is not the royal capital of Adoras!

In an instant, the expressions of the cavalrymen changed dramatically, and a determination appeared in their eyes as if they were at home.

Fear, panic, and trembling all turned into courage and protection.

Are you afraid?

Of course, I'm scared to death, but I'm even more afraid that the fire demons will rush into the home and slaughter them wantonly!

So, you can't go back any further!

"Spears, arrays." Theodon let out a deep roar.

Whew!

A spear with a handle rose diagonally, forming a charging formation.

But the Spirits of the Wild struck first.

Rumble~

I saw it burrow into the ground, and suddenly there was a dull loud noise, accompanied by tremors, and the rock and soil under the feet of the fire demon exploded.

In the smoke, the massive skeleton swooped down, two sharp claws staggered.

In terms of size, the Spirit of the Wilderness is bigger than the Flame Demon, but in terms of deterrence and momentum, the Flame Demon is completely crushed.

Boom –

The flames swelled and burned all the earth and rock, and vision was restored.

With a "clang", the lava fire sword drawn from the fire demon's right hand severed the entire right arm of the Wilderness Spirit.

Boom!

Ignoring this, the Spirit of the Wilderness slashed his left claw into the Flame Demon's arm, leaving three slender scratches on the surface.

Boom!

The fire demon's left fist clenched, and a heavy blow slammed into the Wild Spirit's abdominal spine.

Suddenly, the dense crevices cracked and spread, and the spirits of the wilderness let out a terrible roar.

Before it could react, the experienced Fire Demon took the fire sword in his hand and slashed it off, cutting off half of the Wild Spirit's ribs.

Then, the fire demon stepped forward, and instead crushed the spirit of the wilderness under him.

"It is a great honor for you to die at my hands."

The fire demon mocked arrogantly as he clung to the struggling head of the Spirit of the Wilderness with both hands, and with the force of his two large arms, he brutally pulled out a huge white skull.

Not only that, but it also smashed the sternum of the spirit of the wilderness, and the bone stubs were all over the hillside.

Whew~

The burning eyes of the spirit of the wilderness faded into extinction, and they lost their life.

The Firedemon examined the skull for a moment, then passed his left hand through its mouth and placed it on its forearm, using it as a shield.

"Your head is worth more than your life."

And it completely ignored the Rohan cavalry two kilometers away, and adjusted the comfort of the "shield" on its own.

This scene is undoubtedly like a needle that pierced the hearts of Theodon and others.

Emotions such as anger and grievance surged all over the place, making their blood boil.

"Avenge it!" Iomond hides the tunnel.

"Don't worry, old man," Theodon suddenly patted Iomond on the shoulder, "You take a team of men and horses back to Adoras as fast as possible, organize the evacuation of the people, and we will stay behind to stop the fire demon and buy you time." ”

"What do you say? I'm the Generalissimo, and I'm the one who wants to stay! Naturally, Iomond was reluctant.

"Don't forget that I'm the King of Rohan! Iomond obeyed the order and immediately returned to the city to protect the people, so that Theodwin and the children would not be in danger! Theodon was furious and scolded sharply.

Iomond clenched his fists and gritted his teeth with red eyes, "Guards, follow me!" ”

Watching hundreds of people quickly leave, Theodon finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his gaze changed from relief to determination.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you know what the Flame Demon is? It is a corrupt god, and we are fighting against it today! ”

He took off the red cloak on his back, revealing a silver-gray armor, and then drew his sword and raised it high.

"Kill—"

Theodon took the lead, followed by a murderous army.

Throughout Rohan's wars, large and small, almost all of them were generals, marshals and even kings who led the charge, standing in front of the most dangerous armies without hesitation, and they did not need words to prove that their every move had already composed a hymn of courage.

"The mantis arm is a car, and it is vulnerable."

The Fire Demon raised his eyes, pulled out the fire sword inserted in the leg bone of the Spirit of the Wild, and jumped straight down a cliff.

Knock –

Dozens of tons of flame demons fell heavily in the center of the cavalry army, and hundreds of soldiers and war horses died in a single shot.

"There is no way back in today's battle, as long as there is one person who survives, then fight to the end!" Theodon turned back and charged first, slashing at the fire demon's heel with a sword.

Tens of thousands of cavalry were red-eyed, like desperate bloodthirsty wolves.

"Even a human dares to point a sword at me!"

The fire demon slammed his sword into the earth, and then swirled it hard, and the flames spread like a wind, turning all contaminated men and horses into charcoal that shattered at the slightest touch.

Even so, the cavalry continued to charge, charge, and charge, and whether they were hurt or not, they swung their swords and spears again and again, leaving one insignificant mark after another on the fire demon's body.

"Theojed, when the sun rises tomorrow, you will be the next King of Rohan." Theodon faced the flaming sword without hesitation and threw the last blow of his life with all his might.

As he was burned by the blade, the royal spear that came out of his hand pierced into the fire demon's left eye like an afterimage.

I don't know how long it took, and the blood-colored sky was white.

The Fire Demon stood alone on top of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, destroying the bones of the cavalry with a look of resentment.

It was so humiliated that it had been delayed by a swarm of ants for most of the night, and had even been blinded in its left eye by a human.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Endless anger was squeezed in his heart, and clusters of flames poured out of his pores violently.

"Kill~I need more kill~"

Wow –

The fire demon's back shook, and a pair of huge black-red flesh wings unfurled.

It flew towards Adorus, leaving wreckage all over the place.

None of the cavalry legions, including King Theodon of Rohan, survived, and all of them died heroically.

But their sacrifice was not meaningless, and when the Firelord arrived in Adorus, he found that it was an empty city.

Whew!

In a fit of rage, it set the entire Rohan King on fire, engulfing the prostrate palace from the bottom to the top.

Next, the Firedemon flew south, after all, it had promised Sauron to destroy a dragon that had betrayed Lord Morgoth.

In a hidden valley, thousands of people huddled together weary and sad.

Iomond looked at the thick black smoke rising and clenched his teeth with red eyes.

He turned around and knelt down on one knee in front of his nephew, "Theojed, from this day on, you are the king of Rohan, and I will assist you for the rest of my life, and I will fight for Rohan until the moment of old age." (End of chapter)
