People in the heavens are as rich as the enemies of the country

In the original book, it took more than half a year for the Hobbits to set out from the Shire and finally reach the Mount Doom of Mordor and destroy the Lord of the Rings.

From autumn to spring.

The marching speed is obviously slower. Except for the cavalry, it is impossible for the infantry to run at full speed if they want to maintain the speed of the military formation, not to mention that there are baggage and ordnance behind.

Therefore, although there were no majestic obstacles like the Misty Mountains on the road from the Iron Hills to Gondor, in half a year, the dwarf army could only reach the border between Rohan and Gondor.

Tang Sen's past six months had been dull and boring.

Although Smaug is fast enough to fly from the Iron Hills to Gondor in one day, it is impossible for him to run there alone. This is of little significance to the situation. Mordor cannot be occupied by dragons alone.

In fact, news came from Gondor that the Black Gate of Mordor had been closed for half a year. Minas Morgul, the fortress of Mordor opposite the white city of Minas Tirith, was ablaze every night. Gondor several times They tried to take advantage of the moment when Sauron had just returned to Mordor to raid Minas Morgul, but they were all blocked.

No one knows how many Orc armies lurk in the land of Mordor.

The only thing that is certain is that after half a year, the Haradrian expeditionary force has approached the territory of Gondor. This country entrenched in the south has almost exhausted all its troops, with no more than ten thousand people, and Dozens of terrifying giant elephants.

Sauron's intention is easy to see. Everyone in Middle-earth knows that the Supreme Lord of the Rings is in the hands of that traveler, and that traveler has another title, Dragon Conqueror.

The possibility of Sauron regaining the Ring is extremely slim. He is still weak and does not have the ability to defeat the dragon, and may even be defeated by the dragon.

I am afraid that he has temporarily given up the idea of ​​retaking the Lord of the Rings, but wants to rely on the thousands of years of military strength accumulated in Mordor and the Haradurs under his command to sweep across the Middle-earth world. When the time comes, a giant dragon, a self-proclaimed traveler Human beings cannot resist the authority of the Lord of Middle-earth.

As for Gondor and Rohan, although they have recruited most of the young people for more than half a year, the number of troops they can draw is only 30,000, 20,000 infantry, and 10,000 cavalry.

In addition to the 8,000 Iron Hills dwarves who are on the way, and the 6,000 elves allied forces.

This is all the strength that will stand against Sauron.

Tang Sen rode at the front of the queue, and behind him was a torrent of silver-white mithril.

It was a group of hundreds of dwarf cavalry, all of them wearing mithril full-body armor. Even the goats under them were covered in special mithril armor, which could be said to be armed to the teeth.

Shalin was riding on the most majestic ram. The ram was almost the same height as Tang Sen's horse, and its muscles were strong enough to bear the weight of Shalin and her mithril hammer.

Borrowing troops from the Iron Hills went more smoothly than Tangson imagined. As Balin said before, dwarves have never been able to resist the temptation of mithril. Dyne Ironfoot readily agreed to the suggestion of exchanging mithril armor for cavalry. As for Sarin, she succeeded. The earth conquered all the dwarves in the Iron Hills.

Well. Part of the reason is because the dwarves witnessed her martial arts. Even Dine was defeated by her in a duel.

On the other hand, Townsend suspects that it is a large part of the reason

Sarin's appearance was more lethal among the dwarves than Tang Sen had imagined.

Tang Sen still remembered that half a year ago, when Shalin took off his visor, the dwarves in the Iron Hills were silent and their eyes were dull.

Who can refuse a beautiful dwarf queen with unparalleled bravery, generous personality, perfect figure, sitting on countless wealth in the Lonely Mountain, and backed by a dragon conqueror?

"Tangson, there is a village ahead." The dwarf queen shouted excitedly: "It doesn't look like the nomadic style of Rohan. We have arrived in Gondor!"

She was almost exhausted along the way. She was rushing every day. According to her, the mithril hammer was about to get rusty.

"If you can see the villages of Gondor, then the White City is not far away." Tang Sen said: "Let everyone take a rest and eat something, and let's go into the village and have a look."

Since there were no safety issues for the time being, Tang Sen naturally did not use the Immortal Curse on the cavalry. After all, that thing was quite torturous. Even Tang Sen would not be able to bear it for half a year, let alone these dwarves.

Tang Sen and Sha Lin approached the village and could see that the village had a typical medieval backward style. There were only dozens of houses and there were no people on the road, making it look deserted.

This is not surprising. Any young man who is capable of operating a knife has already been conscripted to Baicheng to undergo basic war training, while the only ones left in the village are the old, weak, women and children.

This is already good luck. If the Oak army sweeps over, there will be no grass left here.

There was only one house with smoke coming from the chimney, and the two of them could smell the aroma of food from a long distance away. Shalin couldn't help but lick his lips.

"I remember that Gondor is not famous for its delicious food." She said: "It seems that the rumors are not accurate."

"No, this doesn't smell like Gondor's delicacies." Townsend said: "The aroma of this food smells more like the handiwork of a hobbit."

"Hobbit?" Shalin shook his head.

"We may run into old friends here." Tang Sen walked towards the house.

"An encounter?" The door was suddenly opened, and an old man with a white beard walked out angrily and shouted angrily: "We have been waiting for you here for nearly a month!"

"Oh, it's you indeed, wizard." Tang Sen looked around his gray robe and looked into the room, where he saw Mr. Baggins, the hobbit.

"I thought you would wait for me in Baicheng."

"The regent of Gondor is obsessed with the Supreme Lord of the Rings. He believes that he can control the power of the Lord of the Rings and use it to fight Sauron's army." Gandalf said angrily: "I can't take the risk with Barjin. Mr. Si entered Baicheng."

"Once the Prince Regent discovers that the One Ring is not in the body of the legendary dragon conqueror, but in the body of a hobbit, it is hard to imagine what he will do. War is imminent and must not An accident like this happens.”

Having said this, he looked Tang Sen up and down and said: "Traveler, I thought Lonely Mountain would be a difficult battle. I even contacted Rivendell and Rohan, hoping they could provide support, but they have not sent troops yet. , the name of the dragon tamer was passed on."

"I remember that the purpose you originally told me was to kill that evil dragon."

"I didn't expect Smaug to be surprisingly easy to talk to." Tang Sen said with a smile.

"The dark and evil dragon is not so easy to control. I hope you know it." Gandalf would not believe Tang Sen's lies. The other party must have already planned it in his heart.

No wonder the other party took over the task of seduction so easily. It was obvious that the other party had already planned it. As long as the dragon was tamed, not to mention those who coveted it, even Sauron could only watch the travelers take possession of it in a majestic way. Something that belongs to you.

"Shakun!" Shalin finally got in the conversation and greeted happily.

The anger on Gandalf's face subsided and he said: "Shalin Mithril Hammer, Lord of the Mountain, Queen of the Dwarves, long time no see."

"Hahahaha!" Shalin grabbed his fiery red hair and said, "Shakun, you can just call me Shalin."

"Is the wizard's politeness so selective?" Tang Sen rolled his eyes, walked around him and walked into the room.

As for the length of the title, I am not shorter than Sarin, right?

"Traveller," greeted Mr. Baggins awkwardly, standing up.

The poor hobbit looked much more haggard than before, probably not only from the hardship of the long journey, but also from the wear and tear on his soul by the One Ring.

After all, the closer the Supreme Ring is to Sauron and Mount Doom, the stronger its ability to control thinking will be. Mr. Baggins, who harbors the idea of ​​destroying the Ring, will be harassed and tortured by the Ring all the time.

"Thank you, Mr. Baggins." Townsend said, "Don't worry, this will all be over soon."

Mr. Baggins gave a wry smile and said, "Eat something? But you don't seem to need to eat."

"Obviously they need it now." Gandalf walked in and glanced at the two of them: "The curse of immortality can indeed be lifted."

"Where's the giant dragon?" He took two bowls of broth and handed them over and asked.

Tang Sen pointed to the top of his head.

"Smaug's scent would scare those goats and horses."

"I still can't believe that a giant dragon would be so obedient." Gandalf shook his head: "Forget it, let's get back to business."

"You said before that I should not take Mr. Baggins to Mordor rashly. I can only wait here temporarily, but I can feel that the power of Mordor is increasing every day, and Sauron's power is also growing rapidly. recovery."

"The day is not far before he sends troops."

"You must have tried it, right?" Tang Sen smiled and said, "I didn't think wizards would be so obedient."

Gandalf's face froze and he said: "I did try to find the secret passage next to Minas Morgul, but unfortunately it is already the paradise of Orcs, and the mountains surrounding Mordor are impossible to climb."

"There is only one way to enter Mordor, I have already said it." Tang Sen said: "Smash the black door and crush it directly."

"Tell me your plan," Gandalf said neatly.

"Wizard, you have changed." Tang Sen said with some discomfort: "Don't you question it?"

"And then listen to you say some magical words, or triumphant ridicule?" Gandalf said calmly: "Traveler, I am used to your routine, so let us get straight to the point."

Gandalf, you have grown.

Tang Sen curled his lips and thought it was boring, so he said: "The armies of dwarves and elves will go directly to the Black Gate. We carry a large number of siege equipment."

"But humans are still in danger." Gandalf said: "The Haradurs are close at hand, and the door to Minas Morgul will open at any time."

"So, I will go to Baicheng." Tang Sen said:

"Lead the dragon and mithril cavalry to give the enemy a surprise."
