the end of the heavens

"The walls of the Horn Fortress are very strong, stronger than I imagined. In today's Middle-earth, as long as there are no dragons, balrogs, stone giants, undead, treants, white robe mages, elf queens, ring spirits, Sauron, wait a minute, this city is indestructible!"

Russell nodded and said, between the lines is full of recognition and affirmation of the Horn Fort.

Gandalf rolled his eyes. He knew that Russell couldn't say anything good, but in fact, like Russell, he was not optimistic about the victory of this war.

Gandalf is not optimistic, not because he thinks that the people of Rohan are not strong enough, but because he understands Saruman. The latter has plotted against Rohan for a long time. Rohan.

"Saruman is not so easy to deal with. The intuition of the white robe tells me that his trump card must be more than the orc army." Gandalf said softly, lest someone would hear it and spread the word to affect the morale of the army.

What is the intuition of the white robe?

Russell was speechless. Gandalf was said to be "Gandalf the Grey" in front of the gate of the Kingdom of Rohan, and he kept worrying about it. All kinds of white robes hung on his lips, and his ears were almost callused.

"The noble white-robed mage Gandalf, Saruman still hasn't shown his cards, how should you deal with it? You know, you are the real white-robed mage now, and you can't be compared to him!" Russell ran One sentence.

Hearing the two sentences, the white-robed mage made Gandalf feel relieved, and laughed out loud in his heart, but he was a mature Maiya, and he was not moved at all on the surface: "I am going to find some powerful reinforcements to help out?"

"Reinforcements... do you mean elves?"

Russell recalled the plot. It seems that 200 elf archers participated in the battle of Helm's Deep under the signal of Elrond. There were heavy casualties, and the leading elf guy died.

"No, the elves have confirmed that they will not be involved in the war. It will only be a waste of time to pin your hopes on them." Gandalf shook his head decisively. He had already tried it before. The age of elves is over, and it is impossible to sacrifice for the rise of mankind. Own.

"It's not an elf, is it Gondor?"

Russell wondered, since Gandalf said that the elves would not come, [-]% would not come. He knows everything about Middle-earth, and he can basically make no mistakes.

"Gondor can't do it, the regent is short-sighted and self-willed, more than conservative, not aggressive..." Gandalf shook his head: "Even if I take Boromir, he will not send a single soldier to aid Rohan, and it is even possible Detain me in the capital of Minas Tirith."

"Who is the great white-robed Gandalf going to find?" Russell didn't want to guess anymore.

"Tree people!"

Gandalf grinned, with a little evil: "In order to expand the army, Saruman wantonly destroyed the habitat of the treants. The treants and Rohan have a common enemy and are friendly forces."

Russell: "..."

Why do I feel that Saruman has fallen into this situation today, among which you are secretly playing tricks?

Russell didn't say what was in his heart. He knew that Gandalf was a mature Maia, and he didn't know anything when he asked him.

"I'm going to the forest to find traces of the Treant, but Essinger's army will arrive at any time, and I need someone to replace me to assist Theoden..." Speaking of this, Gandalf looked solemn: "Russell, can I Do you believe me?"

"cannot!"

Gandalf: "..."

Chapter 379 At the Last Moment

"No one can choose me! Gandalf, you let me take your place and assist King Theoden in guarding the Horn Fort. Isn't this pushing the Kingdom of Rohan into the fire pit?"

Gandalf: "..."

Russell was heartbroken: "Gandalf, you thick eyebrows and big eyes. Theoden regards you as a close friend. You actually want to harm him. What kind of hatred is there?"

Gandalf: "..."

"Don't look at me like that, I'm telling the truth, as long as I'm in this hole, all Rohan people can't fill it up!" In order to prove himself, Russell shouted in front of him: "Aragorn, are you willing to believe me? "

Aragorn didn't look back, and he didn't even move while riding on the horse. He was deaf in both ears as if he was disconnected.

"Look, I'm still very confident in this aspect!"

Russell clapped his hands together, Gandalf was very smart, why did he lose his mind?

Could it be that he drifted away after being promoted to the white robe?

Seeing Russell slandering himself in order to shirk responsibility, Gandalf almost sprayed his face with old blood. Of course he knew that Russell was a trap, but did he have a choice now?

It is because there is no choice, that I know it is a pit and I have to jump into it!

"Cough cough!"

Gandalf coughed lightly, and moved with reason and emotion: "Russell, Rohan's geographical location is very important. If Isengard occupies it and flanks Sauron of Mordor one after the other, Gondor will definitely be defeated. "

Russell didn't speak, and looked down at the two ants fighting.

Gandalf gritted his teeth, and continued: "The elves are gradually declining, and they are heading to Aman one after another. The dwarves' hometown of Moria has been destroyed, and they are only active in a few areas. Only the human kingdom is struggling to resist Sauron's power. Rohan cannot afford to lose. "

Russell didn't speak, he found that both ants were male.

Gandalf twitched, and said again: "Russell, I know your strength very well. You will definitely have a place in the Holy White Council. As long as you are serious and take the national disaster in Rohan as your own business, Helm's Deep will definitely be shocked." No danger."

Russell didn't say a word. He just misread it. One of the ants looked like a male, but it wasn't.

Gandalf took a deep breath and let out his trump card: "After the matter is done, I will teach you... the lighting technique!"

Russell trampled the two ants to death with one foot, and looked up at Gandalf: "Don't try to lie to me, it's not lighting at all, but the power of God. Even if you teach me by hand, I can't learn it well."

"No, I promise you can learn it!" Gandalf resolutely said.

"make a deal!"

Russell also nodded resolutely: "Gandalf, you can go at ease, Helm's Deep will be safe if you leave it to me."

Gandalf frowned: "You're not right. It's Gandalf the White Robe. Although I've never paid attention to white robes and gray robes, it's a matter of faith, and there is no room for loss."

"Sorry, I'll say it again... Gandalf the White Robe, you can go at ease!"

"Well, then it's up to you!"

After speaking, Gandalf in the white robe disappeared into the distant forest.There is no need to worry about his safety, Gandalf has three magic weapons across Middle-earth, dark heart, cruel hand, and many friends.Needless to say the first two, Saruman's ending is the proof, and the last one, the tree man must have settled the relationship long ago.

……

"What, you said Gandalf went to find reinforcements?" King Theoden of Rohan was dressed in armor, with blond hair and a shawl like a lion. When he heard that Gandalf had left, his eyebrows were a little unhappy.

"Your Majesty, Gandalf was worried that Saruman had other support, so he went to the forest to find reinforcements." Seeing that Theoden looked unhappy, Russell explained to Gandalf.

"No, you misunderstood, Wizard Russell, I don't think Gandalf fled the battle. We have known each other for many years, and I know what he is like."

Theoden waved his hand. There was another reason for his unwavering expression: "Hornburg has gone through many battles and has never been captured. At this time, there are 2000 guards in the city, all of whom are elite fighters from Rohan. There are also 2000 cavalry in the valley. The grassland outside is waiting for orders. Attacking from both sides, Isinger's army will undoubtedly be defeated, and Gandalf is too cautious."

Theoden's unhappiness came from a sense of honor. The hussar king on horseback felt that he was underestimated. Even if the orcs had thousands of troops, Rohan could only win this battle.

He firmly believes in this, there is nothing in case, and he is not afraid of it!

"Report!"
