save the bachelors

Chapter 5077-5080 [Saruman was killed]

"Of course." King Theoden nodded, as if he had been successfully bewitched by Saruman again, but his next words chilled Saruman's heart.

"We can live in peace, once you have paid the price for the burning of Westvale and the children who died there. We can live in peace, once we have avenged the terrified women and children in Hornburg.
After you have been hanged on the gallows and left to be pecked by your crows, we will live in peace... "King Theoden said loudly.

He had been fooled by Saruman once, and he would not be fooled so easily again.

"Ravens and noose? You old fool." Saruman laughed contemptuously, then looked at Gandalf, "What do you want, Gandalf the Grey? Let me guess, the key to the Spire of Orthanc, or the key to Sauron's fortress, plus the Crown of the Seven Kings and the Staff of the Five Wizards?"

"Your treachery has caused great loss of life, and thousands of lives are still in danger," Gandalf answered. "But you can save them, Saruman. You were once the enemy's confidant."

"So you're here to gather intelligence. I can tell you something. The situation in the heart of Middle-earth is deteriorating, and you know nothing about it.

But the evil eye saw it, and now he will take advantage of it and soon attack, and you will all die. But you expected it, Gandalf. "Saruman sneered, then looked at Aragorn beside him,
"You don't think this ranger can really sit on the throne of Gondor? An exile who crawls out of the shadows can never be king!
Gandalf would not hesitate to sacrifice his closest comrades. Tell me, what did you say to that hobbit before you sent him to his death, to make him go down a path of no return?"

"I've heard enough. Shoot him. Shoot him to death." Seeing that Saruman was talking irrelevantly and did not tell any useful information except making fun of everyone, Gimli said to Legolas impatiently.

"No." Gandalf stopped him again, and then shouted to the tower, "Come down, Saruman, we can spare your life."

"Shut up and put away your hypocrisy." Saruman refused bluntly, "I don't want it!"

After saying that, he waved his staff, and in an instant, a huge fireball whizzed out and hit Gandalf.

The raging flames surrounded Gandalf, and the intense heat caused everyone to step back in amazement at the scene.

Unexpectedly, Saruman, who had already failed, had such strength to counterattack. Gandalf was unable to dodge, and it seemed that he was in great danger.

Just when everyone was feeling regretful, they saw the flame getting smaller and smaller and gradually disappeared, while Gandalf was still riding on his horse well, and even his clothes were not damaged at all.

"Saruman, your staff will be broken." Then Gandalf looked at Saruman on the top of the tower and spoke.

Immediately, a flash of lightning burst out from the staff in Saruman's hand, and then it broke into several pieces, completely losing its function.

It turns out that wizards in Middle-earth also need magic wands to maximize their strength. Otherwise, their strength will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, when he saw his staff broke, Saruman was no longer as calm as before, and became panicked.

……

At this moment, another person appeared beside Saruman.

The man had a pale face, a shabby appearance, and was wearing a black robe.

"Grimal, you don't have to follow him anymore." Theoden said immediately after seeing this man, "You were not as bad as you are now. It was Saruman who bewitched and corrupted you. Come down, you are finally a people of Rohan."

It turned out that this person was Grima, a former minister of Theoden.

When he was poisoned by Saruman and lost his mind, it was Grima who controlled the power of Rohan. Not only did he kill Theoden's son, he also exiled his nephew Eomer and intended to lay hands on his niece Theowyn.

"The people of Rohan?!" Saruman sneered. "What kind of houses do the Rohan people live in? They are just thatched barns. A group of robbers drink in the stench of the house, and their children and beasts crawl on the ground. The victory of Helm's Deep is not your credit, King Theoden of the Knights. You are unworthy of your ancestors."

"Grimal, come down and escape from his clutches." Theoden called to his former beloved minister.

"Want to leave? Never dream about it." Saruman slapped Grima to the ground, "Kneel down, you bastard!"

Grima is his only subordinate now. He is holding on to him as if he is holding on to his last straw and will not let him go free. Otherwise, he will be left alone.

"Saruman, you were once the enemy's confidant, tell us, what do you know?" Gandalf asked loudly.

"Withdraw your army, and I will tell you where you will die." Saruman still shouted arrogantly, "I will not be imprisoned here forever."

Although he was defeated, he was still a Maia, still a high and mighty white-robed wizard. If he got the chance, he would still escape.

By then, with his abilities, he will still dominate the world.

But at this moment, Grima, who was knocked to the ground by Saruman, took out a dagger in anger and stabbed Saruman heavily in the back, making him groan in pain.

It turned out that Grima had long been dissatisfied with Saruman driving him like a dog, and when he saw Saruman's lair being conquered by the Ents, while King Theoden and others appeared in Isengard safely... he knew that everything was over and they were doomed to die.

At this time, Saruman still treated him like a dog, so he naturally became more and more dissatisfied. Therefore, hatred and evil were born in his heart, so he decided to kill Saruman.

In this way, perhaps he could atone for his sins and gain King Theoden's forgiveness.

But when he did so, the horse hit his leg.

Because Gandalf did not want Saruman to die, he also wanted to find out the next plan of the Dark Lord Sauron from Saruman.

So when he saw Grima committing the crime, Legolas immediately shot him to death with an arrow.

But Saruman was already seriously injured, and he fell from the top of the tower in despair. He then fell on the huge water wheel and was stabbed to death by the huge spikes on it.

……

In fact, in the original book, Saruman did not die so easily.

He and Grima later escaped from Isengard and went to the Shire. However, during this period, Grima's life became very miserable, and he was enslaved by Saruman like a beggar and a dog.

Saruman also gathered dozens of gangsters, turning the originally peaceful and harmonious paradise into a mess.

It was Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin who returned from destroying the Lord of the Rings, who organized the Hobbits and eventually drove away the bad guys.

Originally they didn't want to kill Saruman, but Saruman eventually died at the hands of Grima.

The movie did not include this part for the sake of length and story. After all, the Battle of Black Gate, where Sauron was killed, was already an unprecedented climax, and filming the Battle of the Shire would have seemed superfluous.
