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

If Smaug is allowed to continue to wreak havoc in Mordor, Townsend believes that it can cause a lot of trouble to Mordor.

But it is just a nuisance. The role of a giant dragon is really great in war. Just like those fierce generals in ancient wars, it can take the heads of enemy generals among thousands of troops and can greatly damage the enemy's morale.

But it's not big enough to fight all of Mordor on its own.

If the Orcs spread out, the dragon can't kill as fast as a squad of elite cavalry.

Ten thousand people a day? How is it possible? Do you really think that the dragon's breath is an unlimited and non-cooling ability?

Even if Smaug were given half a year, Mordor would still be under Sauron's control.

If not, there would be no need for Tang Sen to start a war, no need to go to great lengths to get the dwarves and elves to come under the Black Gate, and no need to pay attention to the battle under the White City.

"We'll wait until Gondor and Rohan arrive."

It took seven days for the armies of Gondor and Rohan to reach the Black Gate.

This is already considered a rapid march.

At this point, the armies of the three races representing the righteous forces in Middle-earth gathered together and united for the first time in the Third Age.

The meeting took place at dusk, inside the huge and gorgeous elven tent.

When Tang Sen arrived late, a circle of people were already sitting at the round table in the tent.

Tang Sen saw many familiar faces among them, such as the elf prince Legolas, the lord of the Iron Hills Dyne Ironfoot, Sarin Mithril Hammer naturally has a place as the king under the mountain, and those two who are in their prime The humans were apparently regents of Gondor and kings of Rohan.

Of course, Gandalf the Gray is also indispensable.

All eyes were focused on Tang Sen.

Gandalf stood up and said, "Everyone must have heard of his deeds."

"The holder of the Supreme Lord of the Rings." The regent of Gondor looked at Tang Sen cautiously and warily.

"Dragon Conqueror." The king of Rohan seemed much friendlier. He smiled and nodded slightly towards Tang Sen.

"He is also the savior of Lonely Mountain and Long Lake." Legolas waved and said, "It's an honor to see you again."

"Creator and controller of mithril." This sentence came from the mouth of Dyne Ironfoot. Tangson did not keep the existence of the mithril ring a secret. Of course, there was no need to expect the dwarf to keep it secret.

"Dwarf Durin's eternal friend." Shalin patted the empty seat next to him without hesitation: "Tang Sen, sit here with me."

Tang Sen walked over with a smile and took a seat.

"Of course, he is still the favored one of Ilúvatar." Gandalf spread his hands and joked: "Everyone, I think the purpose of our gathering here is not to discuss the title of traveler."

"We are about to face the most important battle of the Third Era. If Sauron can be successfully eliminated, it may mean the arrival of a new era."

"As long as the Supreme Lord of the Rings is thrown into the Volcano of Doom, the Orcs within the Black Gate will naturally give up resistance." The Regent of Gondor stared at Tangson and said: "The question is whether the holder of the Supreme Lord of the Rings is willing to give up. That ring.”

"This is not the first time that the Supreme Lord of the Rings has been brought to Mount Doom." Tang Sen said lightly: "Unfortunately, it was not destroyed last time. The magic power of the Supreme Lord of the Rings will reach its peak in Mount Doom. No one can If you can resist its temptation, I think the people of Gondor know this very well."

The Regent knew that what Tang Sen was talking about was Isildur, who cut off Sauron's finger and seized the Supreme Lord of the Rings in the last battle of the Second Era. The king of Gondor was finally seduced by the Lord of the Rings and gave up destroying the Lord of the Rings. This also resulted in Sauron not being completely eliminated and making a comeback again.

"I don't think a dead object can corrode my soul." The Regent said directly: "Unless you are unwilling to give up the Lord of the Rings, otherwise, as long as you give it to me, I will throw it into the lava of Mount Doom. middle."

"Your confidence is commendable, Regent of Gondor." Tang Sen didn't give any face: "Unfortunately, I don't believe you, and everyone here, including the wizard."

Today, Tang Sen is no longer a traveler who has just arrived in Middle-earth. Those long prefixes not only mean fame, but also confidence.

He has enough confidence to face the powerful people in front of him, and he has enough confidence to control the situation of the meeting, and he is not afraid of them turning their backs.

Apparently, the Prince Regent was also aware of this.

Anyone who has seen Smaug's power can realize this.

So he showed anger, but in the end he didn't get angry.

The King of Rohan also made no noise to interfere.

This behavior meant that the two leaders of the human kingdom gave up the leadership of the meeting, while others, including Gandalf, were already based on Tang Sen's plan.

"What should be done with the One Ring is not a topic that everyone needs to worry about."

Tang Sen looked around at everyone and was not surprised that he was able to quickly control the meeting. This was also the reason why he arrived late on purpose.

He said slowly: "Now, we can start discussing how to break through the Black Gate and how to capture Mordor."

In fact, there are not many methods that can be used.

There are hard and steep mountains on both sides of the Black Gate. It is impossible to bypass the Black Gate and enter Mordor. The only way is to attack by force and occupy the winch above the Black Gate to open the Black Gate.

This is an extremely difficult task. The Black Gate is too high. Only dwarves can build towers of that height. Moreover, the components of the war weapons brought can be used to build up to three towers. If they are destroyed, they will only fall short.

And a ladder is even more impossible. Not to mention the difficulty of construction of such a high ladder, the time it takes to climb up is enough for the enemy above to slowly knock down the people on the ladder.

Fortunately, Tang Sen solved this problem. Smaug can be used as a tool dragon and directly build several slopes on the Black Gate and the plain ahead that are enough to run up the Black Gate. Well, although those giant crossbows will make Smaug suffer during such work. Some hardships.

But Townsend believed Smaug wouldn't mind.

Moreover, in order to deal with Smaug, the defensive war fortifications of Black Gate were dismantled, and the giant crossbow posed a far worse threat to the army than the trebuchet.

After the plan was finalized, the dwarves began to forge it enthusiastically. This is also the huge advantage of having dwarves in our own army. In general wars, we can only transport war weapons that have been forged in advance. Many times we find that they are not suitable when we attack. Dwarves, however, only carry parts and components that can be assembled on site to customize sieges.

As the vanguard, the first wave to rush to the wall and take a stand will be the dwarf Mithril Knights.

What, you said cavalry can't attack a city?

Sorry, Tang Sen's ideas are not so old-fashioned. Goats are not horses. These dexterous animals can survive on steep rock walls. There are slopes paved by giant dragons. For goats, it is like walking on flat ground.

The fact is just as Tang Sen said, when the time to attack the city came a few days later, both our own side and the local area were stunned when they saw the dwarf cavalry charging towards the Black Gate.

This should be the first time in the history of Middle-earth that cavalry rushed directly to the enemy's city wall.

The guards on the Black Gate, whether they were Oaks or Trolls, never expected that even if they were standing on the city wall to defend themselves, they would be charged by cavalry.

And they are also invulnerable, armed to the teeth, and simply immortal, the Mithril Cursed Cavalry.

After several rounds of killing, there was not much protective power left on the Black Gate. Smaug was finally able to fly over and angrily crushed all the participating trolls to death. He even vented his anger on the giant crossbows and smashed them to pieces.

The winch controlling the Black Gate was turned, and the huge Black Gate was opened. The coalition forces who had been waiting outside the door finally had the opportunity to attack Mordor. The military drums were loud, and Mordor inside the door and the coalition forces outside the door were strangled. together.

The Mithril Knights rushed down from the Black Gate and turned into a battlefield meat grinder again. The power of the immortal curse and the Mithril full-body armor was as unstoppable as Tang Sen expected.

And the dragon, after being frustrated for several days, worked harder than ever before. Oak, who died under the dragon's fire, almost matched the record of the Mithril Knights.

There was no suspense. The battle line was constantly crushing towards the interior of Mordor. The Prince Regent and the King of Rohan only felt that they had never fought such a smooth battle. It was not that the Oaks were not brave enough and fearless of death, but that their teammates were really strong. too strong.

"Sauron has not appeared yet."

Gandalf was quite worried about this. He looked at the inconspicuous hobbit he had always carried with him: "This is his last position, unless he plans to bet everything on the fact that we will not destroy the Supreme Lord of the Rings." At one point, otherwise he would never give up easily.”

"No need to worry." Tang Sen said calmly: "He will, and will only wait for us in one place."

He did not choose to sit on top of Smaug this time. On the one hand, it was because of the threat of the giant crossbow. Although he would not die if he was shot, half of his body would definitely be shot off. On the other hand, in this situation, , the Supreme Lord of the Rings is more important.

If nothing unexpected happens, this battle will be his last battle in this world.

He looked towards the end of the plain and narrowed his eyes.

“Keep pushing forward and it will all end there.”

"Mount Doom!"
