Sword and Magic and Taxi

Hu En formed a mighty army, with branches, leaves, trunks and countless root systems swaying, advancing towards the south under the management of the tree people. From a distance, they looked like a big green, moving lake, about to quench the enthusiasm of Saruman's orcs for war.

Zhao Mai and the elves stood on the shoulders of the tree people and began to climb westward across the Misty Mountains. The tall tree men stretched out their hands, and their fingers grasped the cracks in the rocks; they raised their feet, and their roots penetrated deeply into the mountain. You must have seen the trees growing up on the cliffs. Although they are twisted, they are tenacious and can withstand the test of wind, frost, rain and snow, and the tree people are stronger than those trees.

There is good sunshine on the top of the mountain, but the wind is too strong and the rocks are too hard. If I had to choose, I still prefer soft and moist depressions, preferably next to streams, where there are always endless views. Treebeard While climbing the mountain, he said to Zhao Mai: It's just that streams are changeable, but mountains can last longer, so everything always has good aspects and bad aspects.

Zhao Mai nodded. Although he didn't have to rush, he wasn't idle either. He had been using spells to strengthen the mountain so that the rock and soil could better bear the weight of the tree people.

Thank you for your spell Myron, you allow our tree people to exist longer. Treebeard said in a deep and deep voice: Although we have endless lifespan and nature is our friend, there are still many things. It can take away our lives. If there is no tree wife, if there are no tree babies, we will eventually pass away.

What do you think about working with Gardener Dragon?

Hmm, we haven't decided yet, because the Gardener Dragon is a creature we have never seen before, and the time is too short for us to form an opinion. And she is so soft, how can she survive the test of time and wind and rain? Treebeard glanced at Zhao Mai, and then said: However, Gardener Dragon is very good at taking care of plants and animals, and he likes it from the bottom of his heart. We can see this. Therefore, we are willing to try to accept Gardener Dragon and then observe Watch them.

They can help you, you will like those cute little creatures. Zhao Mai raised his head and looked at the majestic and steep misty mountains. The food reserve, which had been teleported to the top of the mountain early, stood on the edge of the cliff, sticking his head out and looking down. A gust of wind blew its deliberately dripping saliva to an unknown place. So the dog licked its nose and gave up its plan to bomb Zhao Mai.

It took them two days to climb the first peak, and another five days to climb the tallest peak at the southern end of the Misty Mountains. They didn't go to the top of the mountain, it was a waste of time and unnecessary. Just looking south on the hillside, they could already see the huge black tower of Isengard, the Tower of Orthanc where Saruman lived.

The deep valley was flashing with red firelight, and the ground was shrouded in layers of gray smoke. The Orthanc Tower was like an iron rod stuck in the charcoal fire, and the figure was blurry and could no longer be seen clearly. Treebeard narrowed his eyes, then became furious and punched the rock beside him to pieces. Saruman, how could a white-robed wizard do this?! You should protect this world instead of harming it with iron and fire! Look at the evil you have done, look at what you have turned into a good forest! What do you want? Destruction and death, then destruction and death will knock at your door!”

The tree men called in unison and began to descend the mountain. Zhao Mai recited a spell to attract the fog from the mountain, covering the hillside and covering the tree man's movements. They soon found the source of the Eisen in the mountains, and stopped to put their feet in it and drink their fill.

Glorfindel was the commander of this operation, and he could clearly see the defense of Orthanc Tower from his commanding height. Since all the surrounding woods were cut down, the area around Orthanc Tower was bare and open without any obstruction. A stone wall was originally built, but it was only three meters high, and the trees could easily climb over it. Moreover, many parts of the wall have been demolished, and the large stones have been used as building materials by the orcs and goblins.

As Zhao Mai had expected before, Saruman was in a hurry and was unable to take care of all directions, especially the north side, which he considered no threat. Saruman's orc camp is on the south side of Orthanc Tower, where there used to be a beautiful lake, but it is now filled with garbage and is almost flat. Saruman built dikes and various transmission devices along the hillside, huge waterwheels, gears and conveyor belts to continuously transmit power to the goblin workshops, driving the elevators, cranes and various conveyor belts there.

The key to this battle is to destroy the dam, and then the flood from the mountains will kill most of the enemies. Glorfindel said: When we appear, Saruman will already be aware of it and attack with magic. .Teveldo, how about you and the four tree men make sure to destroy the dam?

Okay, I promise to complete the task.

Then, the rest of the elves and the tree people went down the mountain together. Did you see the wall on the east side of Orthanc Tower? It is relatively complete there, but there are only two gaps. As long as it is blocked there, the water flow will be better. Deflect towards the south and west sides where the orcs gather. If we want to choose a direction to attack, then the east side is the first choice. Don't concentrate too much, so as not to be hit by Saruman's spell together. As for the orcs and goblins, I think No one is afraid, right?

Whether it was a tree man or an elf, everyone laughed together. Zhao Mai put up a pergola and looked far into the distance, and then said to Glorfindel: I saw several movable catapults in the orc camp to the south, most likely prepared to attack a certain place. Although the tree man's body Be tall and strong, but you must also be aware of the threat of the trebuchet.”

Speaking of this, I remembered an ancient thing. Treebeard said: In the Misty Mountains, there live stone giants. They are the only ground creatures in Middle-earth that are bigger than us, and can reach more than 20 meters high. They usually remain motionless, as if they are part of the mountain. But I can call them.

Will Saruman hear it? Glorfindel said.

Oh, unless that person lies on the ground and puts his ears against the rocks and soil, then he can hear the sound of the earth. Treebeard said: No, Saruman always straightens his back, he won't hear it. I just don’t know if the stone giants in the mountains are still there and if I can hear them. They can easily throw tons of large rocks thousands of meters away, which is very helpful to us.”

You can never have too many helpers, Glorfindel agreed. He looked at the sky and saw that the sun was slowly sinking into the mountains, and then said: We can wait all night, launch an attack at dawn, destroy the dam, and then occupy the east wall and let the sun shine behind us. I hope it will last all night. Time will allow the stone giant to arrive in time.”

Speaking of stone giants, I remembered one thing. Zhao Mai took out a huge horn: Blow it hard to summon the shadow of the giant. Those giants don't know how to fight, but they are good at building things. You can use them to seal gaps in the wall and turn it into a temporary retaining wall.

Glorfindel took the heavy horn and nodded.
