The next morning, the whole of Idoras mobilized, because King Hieuson, who had already broken free from the control of the evil white-robed wizard Saruman, issued an order in their capital of the Rohanate: From now on, Idoras will evacuate the whole city, and everyone must take the necessary light property and some food and other necessities before noon, and go to the horn fortress of the Holy Helmet Valley, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack!
This order was executed very quickly. At noon, the residents of the entire capital of Idoras, under the protection of the infantry and cavalry of Rohan, began to retreat to the Holy Helmet Valley in an orderly manner.
And the reason why it can be so fast is actually because in Idoras, there are only less than 6,000 residents in total.
First, it is because the Rohan Cavalry Kingdom, which belongs to the traditional nomadic people, does not have many people who are willing or like to live in cities, but they need to chase pastures to grazle cattle, sheep, or horses and other livestock; second, it is because during the period of the Middle Earth with low productivity, a city with more than 5,000 people was considered a big city!
In this era of low productivity, if too many people gather together, the problem of eating can make the Rohans unable to bear it.
"Chiyoudon, will you Rohan Cavalry really join the United Kingdom of Alicia of that little witch?!"
"Please be sure to believe us. Gandalf will bring back Iom's cavalry in time. There is no need for you to surrender to that kind of country of unknown origin!"
"And, their royal power is not legal at all! What they occupy is the territory of the original Kingdom of Arno and the territory of our Dendans!"
Seeing the thousands of Idoras residents evacuated under the protection of less than 1,500 soldiers, Aragon rode his horse to Hiyoudon and persuaded him.
Last night, in the palace hall, due to the United Kingdom of Alicia, Aragon and Gandalf almost broke up with the little girl! The relationship between the two sides was almost at a freezing point!
Because Gandalf distrusts the newly-rise United Kingdom of Alicia, and even more distrusts the Queen Ofina who is ambitious to annex the Cavalry of Rohan!
In Gandalf's opinion, the same unknown origin, and even the same as Saruman or the Demon Lord Sauron, were all conspirators who wanted to join Middle-earth and achieve their ulterior motives!
Gandalf did not allow a unified regime or union in Middle-earth! This is not only his meaning, but also the wishes of the gods of Vila!
The Numanor Empire, the Numanor people who once wanted to attack Amen Island for more benefits were the lessons of the past! Therefore, the gods did not allow the same country in the Middle Earth, even if there were signs!
This is also most of the reason why Gandalf has been dealing with countries and guiding various races and countries to fight against Mordor, who wants to dominate Middle-earth world! Fighting against evil is just one of them. It is the top priority to prevent people in Middle-earth world from having too many ideas or unrealistic ideas!
So, because of this, they had a big fight in the hall of the palace last night and almost performed a full martial arts show!
Aragon and Gandalf accused the little girl and the Queen of Ofina of wantonly occupying the territory of the people of Middle-earth and expanding their territory to provoke war, pointing out that their behavior was no different from that of the evil demon king Soren!
In fact, it is up to debate whether it is because of Aragon's jealousy or Gandalf's reluctance to see the Middle Earth that he had trained for more than two thousand years and fell into the hands of an unstable little girl.
The little girl Anne and the Queen of Ofina said: Everything they did was to fight Mordor and to obtain permanent peace in Middle-earth!
So, in the end, the two sides naturally broke down the talks. The United Kingdom of Alicia could not stop its expansion, nor could it return the territory they had obtained! Even, would they tempt the entire Rohan to join?
In Gandalf's original plan, the Rohan Cavalry was definitely bound to Gondor, and it was definitely not the United Kingdom of Alicia who was ignorant of the details!
So, early in the morning, Gandalf rode his divine horse, Jekyung, out in anger.
He intends to find enough reinforcements to rescue the Rohanate, the confused king who led the people into the dead of the Helmet Valley, and prevent them from joining the so-called United Kingdom of Alicia.
He didn't want to see the annoying red-bottomed gold-edged vulture flag on the land of the Rohan Cavalry Kingdom!
This is mainly because, last night, Rohan's king Hieuton had shown his attitude: in the end, whoever can save their country from the hands of Saruman and Denland's barbarians, who can help him defeat Saruman, will Rohan stand on whose side!
Similarly, the next morning, the little girl disappeared, and no one, including Gandalf, knew where she went, or was doing something conspiracy?
"Aragorn...you should understand that there is no eternal power!"
"The Kingdom of Arno has been destroyed for countless years. Whether that Alicia is legal is up to strength or not!"
"Now, it's all over! You should learn to let go, just as you gave up your original identity and responsibility!"
After experiencing the pain of losing his son and seeing the once powerful Rohan Cavalry Kingdom fall into such a situation, Hieudon began to take power indifferently.
At this moment, if there were no more foreign aid, Rohan would definitely not be able to fight against the coalition forces of Aisinger and Denland! In the intelligence, they had at least tens of thousands of troops this time! Moreover, it is said that Aisinger was still using evil magic to mass-create strong orcs?
In this case, then choosing to stand in a strong team may be a good choice?
As for Aragon, he didn't even dare to get a large Gondor Kingdom in the south or inherit it. Now he is thinking about and jealous of Arno's original territory? In Hyoudon's view, his country has nothing to do with him since Aragon was exiled to Revendell.
People are selfish, and no one will support a king without soldiers or power, no matter how legal he is, it will not work! As for Gondor... If Hiyotun himself was the prime minister of Gondor, as long as there is no big surprise, he would not be willing to welcome a king that was in trouble!
“…”
Looking at Hieudon, who had already made up his mind, Aragon could only silently slow down the speed of his mount and allow the other party to speed up his departure. Perhaps, he really wanted to take back his legacy and his Gondor Kingdom as Gandalf said?
Otherwise, he, a wandering golfer, would be too passive in everything he did!
Now, he could only hope for Gandalf. It would take almost three or four days for them to escort these civilians to take refuge in the Holy Helmet Valley. I hope that the other party can move enough reinforcements as they said in the morning and appear in the first light of the fifth day...
———
For the sake of safety, the two Hobbits who have nowhere to go have been mingling with the herds and tree beards in this Fagong Forest. They eat and sleep every day, and eat after they have enough sleep. Here, except for being a little lonely and having no more entertainment, they live a free and comfortable life!
From time to time, they also wandered around with the tree beards, and saw many other tree herders and other tribes of the other party, and even saw the other party’s outrageously inefficient tree man meeting?
"Tree beard? Where are we going?!"
It was already very late today. Piping and Meli, the Hobbit people who were sitting on the head of the tree-bearded tree, began to ask in confusion when they were awakened.
Because, they found that something seemed a little wrong tonight?
At least dozens of tree herders were seen in their sight, and there seemed to be many in the distance? They were walking silently in the southwest with the tree beards under them.
The two hobbits knew very well. In the southwest of the Fargon Forest, wasn't that the direction of Aisinger? Now, so many tree herders are running to Aisinger. Are they going to fight with the white-robed wizard Saruman?
"We... are going... to respond to... the call of the evil little witch..."
After turning his head slightly to look at the two hobbits who had been with him for several days, Shuju sighed heavily.
Their tree herders actually really don't want to participate in the war in Middle-earth. During the ancient war, Morgoth and his minions caused too much damage to the tree herders... So, they originally wanted to continue watching like in the Second Age, and they didn't want to join either side!
But how could they have thought that the evil little witch would use what they care about most to threaten them to participate in the war? Those tree wives... For their tree wives, they had no better way than to be forced to agree to the little witch's threat.
"You are going to attack Aisinger? This is so great! Saruman is definitely going to be finished!"
After standing up, roughly estimating, seeing at least hundreds of tree herders moving upwards in silence, Piping and Meli began to cheer excitedly.
They were assigned by Gandalf to stay in the Fargon Forest. In addition to the safety here, wasn’t they just to fool these herdsmen to fight with Aisinger’s Saruman? Now, when they did nothing, this task was actually completed?!
"Saruman? No...We tree man is not Saruman's opponent..."
Seeing the two hobbits dancing excitedly on themselves, Shuxu finally made a small blow to them after thinking about it.
"Only by the words of these hundreds of tree men... we can't beat Saruman..."
"The evil wizard in white robe...he hides on the tower...will release lightning...and terrible flames..."
"If...we enter the range of his tower...he can...burn all of us tree people..."
If the opponent only deals with the powerful orcs or half-orcs under the white-robed Saruman, the tree must be confident that it will destroy the opponent's base with a small loss!
But if he had faced the evil white-robed wizard, he would have no good idea...
These tree herders are too large and move too slowly. When they face the wizard who can cast evil spells, they are just other people's targets.
"Can't beat it?"
"Wait! Since we can't beat the white-robed wizard, why do we still have to go to Aisinger now?!"
Seeing that the tree man actually said such despicable words, Piping and Meli were so scared that they asked quickly.
If they can beat Saruman, they will definitely want to join in the fun! But if they know they can't beat them and still follow them, they will be stupid. They are two hobbits who are willing to enjoy, but they don't want to die like this!
"That's because...that little witch...she's back..."
The tree whispered a little discouraged. It didn't like the little witch, but had to obey the other party's orders.
But in fact, if their tree horns help the little witch, it is not that there is no other benefit?
In addition to knowing the exact location of the tree wives, they can also expand their Fagon forest westward and expand to the west of Dorbala's. These are the conditions that have been agreed upon before, and are the new territory promised by the little witch to them.
"His Excellency Anne Witch, is she really back? That's great!"
Unlike Gandalf or others who were afraid of the little witch, the Hobbit Piping and Meli felt that the little human witch named Anne was still very fond of their appetites no matter what! It can even be said to be a similar smell?
After all, when they were at Rivendell, they had stolen chickens, touched dogs, mixed into the treasure house of elves, and stolen the beasts of King Ailon. After doing these things together, they established a deep friendship with comrades!
"If that's the case, then we can't wait to attack Aisinger now!"
"That's right! Maybe, we should prepare some ammunition first? For example... a large bag of big rocks that can be used to smash orcs?"
After knowing the whole story, Piping and Meli began to discuss excitedly.
If they were hiding on tall and safe tree people and throwing stones at those strong orcs or half-orcs, they felt that the fighting power of the two of them was still very strong!
"No hurry... Let's go to the south first... wait for the signal from the little witch... Tonight's night is still long..."
After slowly taking a step forward and taking a distance of tens of digits, Shuhou said in a muffled voice again.
Compared to victory, it hopes that this battle tonight will not reduce the number of its herdsman clan too much! Now, there are only these hundreds of tribe members left...
And the moving big trees in the Fagong Forest and the tree beetles that can be seen everywhere will never become tree herders without a tree wife. They can only be magical tree friends managed by their tree herders...
...
"His Legion Commander! There is some movement in Saruman's army! Now, they are organizing their troops and intending to break through our blockade line!"
"He must have discovered that Her Majesty Queen Ofena has led the main force to leave here. What should we do now?!"
When King Hieuson of Rohan led the residents of Idoras to take refuge in the horn fortress, Queen Ofena also led her main force to secretly leave the barracks a few days ago and began to move towards the Holy Helmet Valley in the southeast of Rohan.
Now, outside Aisinger, there are only some artillery formations that are inconvenient to marching quickly, musketeers with less than 300 men, and miscellaneous troops with about 1,000 men.
So, when it was discovered that there were strong orcs in Aisinger's high walls and planned to forcibly attack their now-weak blockade, an officer quickly ran to the side of the Second Legion Commander Renas, who was standing by the Alicia flag and a bonfire, to report.
"Hmph! Saruman actually discovered him a long time ago! The reason why he attacked now is simply because he felt that the number of troops might not be enough, so he just waited for these few days!"
"The musketeers are ready to line up! Let the artillery load the shells. If Saruman thinks that he wants to break through our blockade with less than 5,000 troops, then he will be wrong!"
Looking at the strong orc troops who opened the high wall gates, lined up from them, and shouted slogans, Renas sneered disdainfully.
It seems that during the period when they surrounded Aisinger, the other party finally learned some good methods, and also knew that they would choose to launch an attack in the middle of the night with poor vision, and wanted to use the night battle to suppress the advantages of their firearm troops?
If they rely solely on their current army and artillery, they may not be able to defend this place under the opponent's decisive charge! After all, with the insufficient number of muskets, it may be a bit unhealthy to use artillery with slow loading speed to deal with infantry that can move and charge.
However, now they are not just these people, they have even more powerful killer weapons!
"Send a signal flare and let the tree people prepare to attack!"
After looking at the dozens of 100-person square formations in the distance, which had a total of at least a thousand people, pressing towards him along the avenue they deliberately left, Renas's mouth bent slightly and then he ordered decisively.
Now the tree beetles in the Fargon Forest who are controlled by the tree-grassmen, those big trees that can move and squeeze, have already flowed over when their United Kingdom of Alicia blocked the gate of Aesinger, and occupied all other places except the road at the gate of Aesinger!
"But, Lord Legion Commander! If the tree people attack now, they will suffer heavy losses under the attack of the mage tower..."
Looking at the towering dark mage tower in the distance, the edict was a little confused.
When their Queen of Ofina was still leading the army to block here, it was because of the existence of the other side's mage tower that she did not want to launch a general attack. Otherwise, under the siege of thousands of main forces and powerful tree people, how could this Aisinger stay until now?
"Ha! Don't worry, Saruman has no time to release spells now, go and execute the command!"
———
"Hmph! My army will crush you!"
Inside Aisinger, on a platform like a protruding balcony in the Osank Tower, Saruman sneered and looked at the sporadic flames in the distance.
His Aisinger has been blocked by the little girls who claim to be the Kingdom of Alicia for a few days. Now, when they are about to produce thousands of strong orc legions, Saruman finally decided to break the other's blockade while the opponent's main force is not here!
After watching his thousands of troops shouting loud slogans and slowly heading towards the garrison camp of the United Kingdom of Alicia in the distance of Aesinger's gate, Saruman nodded with satisfaction.
Now, his army of tens of thousands of powerful orcs has entered the territory of the Rohan Kingdom. Now, he is about to launch a sweep operation to the Horn Fort or other important targets in the Holy Helmet Valley?
A few days ago, when the Queen of Alicia led her troops to block his Aisinger gate, he forcibly resisted the urge to let the tens of thousands of troops return, and confronted the other party, and no one could do anything to anyone!
Until today, after the opponent's main force had already begun to rush to support Rohan, he ordered the strong orc army that had finally been produced to start attacking, preparing to drive away the guys who blocked the door, so that the furnace under Aisinger could continue to get more wood and other resources to continue to produce the army.
You know, they have been out of production for several days. If they are blocked by the enemy like this, they will probably not even be able to lift the pot...
"What is that?!"
Just as he was about to turn around and walk back to the main control room of the tower from the balcony of the Mage Tower, a huge colorful firework suddenly exploded in the dark sky in the distance. Then, in the Fagong Forest next to the road, it began to get restless?
Then, moving trees began to surge into Aisinger. At the same time, the faster-moving tree herders began to rush out of the forest and directly rushed into the formation of the thousands of strong orcs he had finally accumulated, making their formations become loose and chaotic...
Bang...bang...bang...
Boom~! Boom~! Boom~! Boom~!
While the tree people rushed into the second half of the army of strong orcs, in the distance, the musketeers and more artillery units of the United Kingdom of Alicia began to roar one after another. Countless artillery shells and bullets directly beat the forwards of the strong orc army, causing a bloody storm!
"Teaching people! You dare to do it?!"
Feeling that at this time, the tree shepherds in the Fargon Forest dared to come out to cause trouble for themselves, Saruman was immediately annoyed! He decided: He wanted to use a large-scale flame spell to kill all the tree people who dared to enter the attack range of the Aesinge Osank Tower, leaving no one left!
"What?!"
"Little girl! You dare to appear in my mage tower?!"
When Saruman thought of doing it, he raised his black staff hatefully. As soon as he turned around and was about to walk back into the tower, he suddenly realized: in the middle of his main control room, a little girl secretly picked up his True Knowledge Crystal Ball? Then, she suddenly didn't know where she stuffed it and disappeared?!
"Shameful thief! Return my crystal to me!"
After seeing that his baby crystal ball was inexplicably destroyed by the opponent, Saruman shouted suddenly, and then shook his hand fiercely. A thick lightning flash appeared at the head of the black staff, slashing straight towards the opponent's face.
Crack!
The electric snake flashed by, and then disappeared on a transparent shield around the little girl after just a muffled sound.
"Crystal ball?"
"I haven't seen any crystal balls! I don't know what you were talking about just now! Look, how could I hide such a big crystal ball on my body?"
Annie herself is a very honest little girl. Now she hasn't seen any true crystal ball!
A treasure like that that can easily view various parts of the entire Middle Earth without using mana. Once she enters her pocket, how could she return it? It doesn’t exist!
She might have to take it back and reward her family's Ofina so that the other party can build this Middle-earth world for her more easily?
"Hmph! Stupid little witch! I will make you regret coming to this Osank Tower in my place!"
After seeing that ordinary spells seemed to not work for the little girl, he gathered more mana on the spot and opened all the restrictions in the tower at the same time, intending to suppress the little witch's mana to the greatest extent while enhancing his strength!
"You will soon find that within my mage tower, your power will be severely suppressed! Then... you will regret being an enemy of me!"
If this little girl was elsewhere, he thought she might not be able to beat her, but within this Osank Tower, he had an absolute home advantage!
"Huh? Are you talking about that kind of vague suppression? They are of little use to me!"
"Forget it, then I won't just take action? Because, I didn't come alone today! Come out, Tibers, bite him to death!"
"No! I'm holding him!"
After tilting his head and looking at the old man in white robe who was guiding the spell, Annie did not even attack him, but threw out the bear in his hand.
Because, she planned to catch the old man with white beard today, and catch the white-bearded man in white clothes!
roar!!
The toy bear Tibers suddenly became huge after leaving Little Anne's hand.
Then, while Saruman was stunned, a toy giant bear with dark red flames burning all over his body suddenly appeared in the main control hall of the Osank Tower. Saruman, who was frightened, shivered in his hands and immediately exploded the unfinished lightning spell at the flame bear!
(…)
(Little Master Anne, this place is so small that it is so small that it can't exert all its strength... If you bite and beat it to death, what should you do?
——Tibers waved his claws and randomly patted a black mark on his chest that was blown out by the other party’s lightning, and muttered to Anne in private in discomfort.
Its current height is almost at the top of the hall. When fighting here, it has no room for moving or moving at all. It can't run even if it wants to run. Maybe if you accidentally burn the other party to death?)
"Anyway, he can't beat you, hurry up and catch him!"
"If I accidentally beat you to death, I will lock you up and make the two fools into toys!"
Anne didn't care about the complaints of the stinky bear, and quickly pointed at the surprised white-robed Saruman and ordered Tibers.
Originally, she also wanted Tibers to kill the other party with one claw!
However, when she knew that the white-bearded old man had at least tens of thousands of troops, and seemed to know how to mass-kill such a strong orc, Annie felt that it might be better if she captured the other party alive?
“…”
When Anne gave the order to Tibers, Saruman, who saw that the situation was not good, was already secretly starting to retreat.
He is not stupid. If the other party is outside the mage tower, he would dare to use his home advantage to confront the little girl and her magic pet! However, since the other party has sneaked into his main control room and released such a powerful monster, he doesn't plan to fight with the other party here!
After all, although there is a way to suppress the little witch, he has no good way to do that flame monster that obviously belongs to the hand-to-hand combat type!
Nowadays, there are tree people outside taking the opportunity to make trouble, and there are this little girl and her pets restraining him. Saruman feels that it seems that he can no longer stay here. So, he can only decide with grief and anger: find a way to retreat here first, and then think of other ways after saving his life?
"What's it?!"
When Saruman secretly retreated and moved to the platform he was just now, a heat wave suddenly came from behind, scaring him so much that he rushed towards a corner on the left, and narrowly avoided the life-threatening flame!
Then, when he turned his head and looked over, he realized that at some point, there was a fire demon that was equally huge and also covered in flames lying on the outer wall of Osank Tower?
Moreover, at this time, it was blocking the exit of the platform with its huge head, as if it wanted to see where he, a white-robed wizard, was hiding?
"This is, the Flame Demon...?!"
Saruman had never thought that how could a fire demon come first here? How did it come here?
Moreover, this flame demon seems to be an accomplice of this little witch? How is this possible! Saruman knew that since Gandalf is still alive now, shouldn’t it have been killed by the old man in gray robe?!
"That's not a fire demon, that's my Erhei! Of course, you can also call it Ersi!"
The Fire Demon and the like are really too ugly!
Little Annie felt that the names Er Sizi or Er Hei she gave her would be more friendly. Unfortunately, the stinky stinky thing she used to pull a cart was beaten to death, otherwise, she could be released to meet her younger brother Er Hei now?
"Look! You can't escape now, right? Do you want to surrender quickly? Or do you want to continue fighting?"
While talking, Anne sat straight on the stone platform where the True Knowledge Crystal was just placed. After looking at Saruman, who was forced into a corner by his little bear and the flame demon lying outside, she asked with a smile and a tentative look.
At this moment, there were more intense gunfire sounds and angry roars from the tree people. The tree people, the moving tree beards, and the troops of the United Kingdom of Alicia seemed to have attacked the walls of Aesinger?
Chapter completed!
