Chapter 5075: Attacking Isengard

"Lord Qili, this is unbelievable~" Theoden looked at Xiang Nandao. Who would have thought that he could wipe out all the orcs by himself? It was incredible.

"It's nothing." Xiang Nan waved his hand. To him, it was just a piece of cake. "Everyone can take a rest first. When Gandalf brings the reinforcements, we will take the opportunity to counterattack Isengard and completely eliminate Saruman, the scourge."

Upon hearing this, Theoden nodded.

Before, he might have hesitated, worried about Isengard's strength, and dared not fight back.

But seeing Xiang Nan's strength, he killed tens of thousands of orcs without any blushing or beating of the heart, and looked effortless at all.

If he didn't take over Isengard in one fell swoop while Xiang Nan was still there, he would not be considered a qualified king.

"Everyone rest, Gamlin arranges for someone to keep watch for the night." Theoden then ordered, "Lord Kili, please!"

Xiang Nan smiled and nodded.

"Lord Qili, I have sharpened the axe and displayed the hammer, but you didn't even give me a chance to show them." Jinli said dissatisfiedly.

He thought there would be a thrilling battle tonight, and he was preparing to compete with Legolas to see who could kill the most orcs.

Unexpectedly, he had made sufficient preparations, but Xiang Nan only waved his hands three times to completely end the battle, which made him feel unsatisfied.

"Don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities to fight in the future." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Your axe and hammer will not be idle."

……

At dawn, Gandalf arrived with reinforcements led by Eomer.

They had thought that they would face a tough battle once they arrived.

Unexpectedly, after arriving, I found Helm's Deep peaceful and tranquil, except for the piles of orc corpses in front of the valley.

Some were burned to death, some were electrocuted, some were thrown to death... There were few intact ones, and many more that were damaged, looking horrible.

"What's going on? Is the war over?" Eomer asked in surprise, "Are we too late?"

"No, we are not late." Gandalf examined the bodies of the orcs, then waved his hand and said, "The war is over. I saw traces of an acquaintance's actions."

"Who is it?" Eomer asked curiously.

"Kili, the Hand of Justice~" Gandalf explained, "These dead orcs should all be his doing. After not seeing him for decades, his magic has become even more powerful."

During the Battle of Five Armies, Xiang Nan was still unable to kill all the orcs, and still needed the allies of elves, humans, and dwarves to fight hard and sacrifice their lives for the country.

But now, the power of his magic has become stronger and stronger, and he has wiped out tens of thousands of orcs. Such a brilliant record makes this white-robed wizard feel ashamed.

"It was him? He alone created this?" Eomer said in surprise, "It's really hard to imagine."

"It's really hard to imagine." Gandalf nodded. Even as a Maia, he found it difficult to see through Xiang Nan's strength.

He is really extremely powerful. Even in Gandalf's opinion, perhaps Sauron is not his opponent.

……

Afterwards, the guards on duty at Helm's Deep saw Eomer and his companions and welcomed them into Helm's Deep.

When Theoden saw his nephew Eomer again, he was naturally excited and ashamed. He was poisoned by Saruman and completely lost himself, so he drove Eomer out of the royal city and exiled him to the borderland.

Now he has put aside the past grudges and led the army back to rescue him. How can he not be moved?

Eomer was naturally very happy to see that his uncle and sister were safe, and even the people were not killed or injured. He looked at Xiang Nan gratefully, "Lord Qili, thank you for your help."

"You're welcome. Saruman and Sauron are enemies of all righteous people." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "You guys should take a good rest first. After breakfast, we will attack Isengard and completely eliminate Saruman, the culprit."

Theoden nodded. "Go ahead."

Gandalf was also delighted to see Xiang Nan, "After more than seventy years of not seeing you, Lord Kili's magic has become even more powerful."

"It's mainly because of the terrain here, which is suitable for the use of my magic." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "If it were on the plains, where the orc army is not so dense, my magic would probably not be so effective."

Helm's Deep is shaped like a trumpet, wide in the front and narrow in the back, so the further the orc army goes in, the denser they gather. That's why magic like "Hellfire", "Tornado", "Sea of ​​Thunder" and so on are so effective when released.

Of course, this was Xiang Nan's excuse, because the Battle of Minas Tirith was coming up, and he couldn't show off so much strength by then.

Because Aragorn needs to make great achievements and play a decisive role in the defense of Minas Tirith, so that he can ascend to the throne of king with full legitimacy.

Otherwise, if his achievements cannot convince the people, how can he bear the weight of the crown?

In the movie, it was he who borrowed the army of the undead from the Way of Kings, which turned the tide of the Battle of Minas Tirith and saved Gondor. It can be said that he made a great contribution.

But if Xiang Nan killed all the orcs in a snap of his fingers, how could Aragorn achieve success and win the hearts of the people of Gondor? So at that time, he could only hide his incompetence.

Gandalf nodded.

……

Two hours later, the sun officially rose.

The people of Helm's Deep also began to prepare breakfast, with smoke rising from the kitchen, creating a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

Xiang Nan then waved his hand and conjured up a large amount of delicious food. After enjoying it with Theoden, Gandalf, Aragorn, Eomer and others, he set off for Isengard, Saruman's lair.

Isengard is located in the west of Rohan, close to the Rohan Pass, and has a very important geographical location.

At that time, Saruman was a member of the White Council and belonged to the camp of justice. Therefore, he gained the trust of Rohan and obtained the land of Isengard.

But he did not expect that this move would lead to a wolf in the house. Saruman had been operating in Isengard for hundreds of years, turning it into a magic cave and a war factory.

He created the Uruk-orcs by crossbreeding Orcs with Dunlending humans, and formed an orc army of more than 10,000 people. He also colluded with the Dunlending people to burn, kill, plunder, and commit all kinds of evil in Rohan.

The reason why he did this was that he wanted to become the ruler of Middle-earth like the devil Sauron.

Because he himself was also an ambitious Maia, and he believed that since Sauron had the strength to conquer Middle-earth, there was no reason why he, a fellow Maia, could not do it.

In particular, more than seventy years ago, when the White Council went out as a group to rescue the trapped Gandalf in Dol Guldur, Saruman had a brief battle with Sauron.

He was deeply shocked by Sauron's strength and thought that they might not be able to defeat Sauron. Since they couldn't defeat him, they might as well surrender to Sauron and rule Middle-earth with him.

The devil Sauron also keenly sensed Saruman's ambition, and began to tempt and seduce him, causing Saruman to become more and more corrupt and ambitious, even wanting to get his hands on the One Ring.

Previously, he sent the orc army to kill Frodo and kidnap Merry and Pippin for this reason.
