The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 195 Suggestions and Thoughts

When Sauron saw that his allies, the Haradians, had no way to return to Osgiliath smoothly.

So he gave the Angmar Witch King an order to retreat extremely decisively.

As Sauron's right-hand man, the Witch King of Angmar felt his master's call, and then eagerly brought all the troops to Minas Morgul.

At this time, Angmar, who was near the battlefield, understood that the situation at this time did not allow him to lead troops to retake the ruins.

Even if there is a slight delay, he may be attacked from three sides from the south, north, and west.

So when Allen led nearly 1000 elite cavalry and more than [-] infantry to the crossroads.

Just in time, I saw groups of Haradians entering the Morgul Valley in a state of embarrassment.

There is a poisonous wilderness, the only way to Minas Morgul, and it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

A bridge spanned the Mogulduin and connected the valley to the Harad Road.

At this time, it was the flowery summer, and the mogul valley was full of pale flowers, emitting a faint light and a disgusting smell of corruption.

Facing the enemy's retreat, Allen burned down the bridge leading to the valley.

He had no intention of leading his soldiers to attack Minas Morgul.

First of all, it is no longer suitable for human habitation, and it is useless to call back.

Secondly, the strength of the Haralds stationed in the Mogul Valley has not been damaged too much, and it is really unwise to attack by force.

And behind Morgul there is a road leading directly to the plain of Gorgolos. Although that road is rough and difficult, it is also enough for the army to pass.

As long as Allen launches an attack on Minas Morgul, the enemy's support will continue to come.

It is the most appropriate way to arrange heavy troops to defend here.

It's just that such a decision requires Alan and his friendly forces to meet before they can discuss a safe approach.

When Exelian led the troops of Gondor and wiped out all the enemy troops in Osgiliath, it was already dark quietly.

But he still led the troops, rushed to the crossroads without stopping, and joined the friendly troops who were camping there.

This is the most exciting moment in the war with Mordor in the past few years.

Under the bright moonlight, the prime minister's son on a horse happened to see Alan standing next to the king's statue.

It was a damaged stone statue, carved with a king wearing a crown, standing on a tall throne.

Over the long years, the statue has been eroded and destroyed countless times.

Especially after this land was occupied by half-orcs, even the head of the king rolled to the side.

In its place, a rough stone smeared with an evil red eye.

At this time, Allen was actually thinking about whether to let the young Aragon personally put the head that had rolled aside and put it back on the statue of the king.

This might add some prophecies for Aragorn's succession to the throne in the future.

For example, the king who traveled abroad returned to the throne, or some king returned, and the crown found its true owner, and so on.

However, the arrival of Exelion interrupted Allen's thoughts.

The son of the prime minister is just 60 years old this year. Unlike ordinary humans, Exelian, who has the blood of Númenor, is in his prime at this time.

In fact, in the original trajectory, he lived to be 98 years old. Aragorn, who accepted his own destiny, also used the pseudonym Thorongil. When Exelion was in power, he served as the commander of the army of the Kingdom of Gondor.

This is a wise and well-advised ruler.

"Your Excellency Allen, congratulations on your great victory today."

Exelian, who was leading a white horse, slowly came to Alan's side, and greeted his allies cordially.

In terms of national strength, only seven or eight Rovanians tied together can compete with the current Gondor.

But when it comes to the ability to make friends, ten Exelians tied together may not be as good as Allen alone.

At this time, the Kingdom of Gondor, which has just turned from danger to safety, needs to maintain the relationship of friends. Who made Sauron, the dark lord, keep staring at them as a disaster for the country.

"Congratulations on successfully regaining the complete Osgiliath, Your Excellency Exelion."

This was the first time Alan and Exelion met, but Malhebi, who was standing aside, had already told his king about the identity of the future.

Sometimes, it is also a pleasant thing to have a subordinate who likes diplomacy and can provide himself with information at critical moments.

Allen, who had finished greeting Exelion, glanced behind the prime minister's son, and asked with a look of surprise, "Hasn't Lord Cirdan come here?"

In Allen's view, what he and the elves' coalition forces will face next is likely to be the last battle of this battle.

As the commander of the elf cavalry, Cirdan should be here.

"Master Cirdan asked me to bring a message. He said that one of his friends did something outrageous in order to help him, so he urgently needed to return to Mithrond to plead guilty to the great king of the sea, so he left first. , As for the matter here, he believes that you and Lord Lindyr can solve it, and if there are any unresolved issues, he can ask Gandalf for advice."

Exelion repeated Cirdan's words with a puzzled expression. He really couldn't understand the meaning of these words.

The title of Ulmo, the King of the Ocean, is also circulated in Gondor, but that is already a legendary existence.

The Númenóreans living in Middle-earth may have a better understanding of Uni. After all, this one of their most respected gods after the seas is often recorded in the scrolls.

But Allen understood, and Cirdan's words also verified his thoughts.

It is true that there is a sea god with complete power, who helped his beloved Teleri elf in the war, but I don't know whether this Maier is Ossie or Uni.

Anyway, it must not be the great god Ulmo who came here in person, otherwise, what kind of crime did Cirdan invite?
"I understand."

Looking at Alan who nodded in understanding, Exelion paid more attention to this fellow in front of him.

Legendary figures like Cirdan who have survived for an unknown number of years are naturally recorded in the archives of the White Tower, where the young Exelian learned a lot of knowledge.

And Allen's ability to be trusted by Cirdan must have something extraordinary, or his extraordinary has already been revealed in this war.

After all, the title of "Savior of Gondor" has spread throughout the White City, and even Exelion, who has been stationed in Osgiliath, has heard such rumors.

At this time, Allen naturally didn't know that his nickname had evolved from "the savior who prevented evil from coming" to "the savior of Gondor".

If the war continues for a period of time, perhaps the titles of "savior of mankind" and "savior of Middle Earth" will be held on his head by people who are good at gossip.

After all, in the rumors, Alan is already an extraordinary existence who can tear up the black marshal with his bare hands, and Wen can easily save the seriously injured. Who knows what kind of news like this will become like crazy in the future.

"Has the master of Orthanc not come here?"

When Allen asked this, he didn't really want to escape the humiliation he suffered, it was just a joke with his friends.

He was just curious about what Saruman was thinking at this time. He actually spent so much energy and time in the war with Sauron, which did not fit the image of the white-robed wizard in his heart.

"Yes, Lord Saruman was too tired from the previous battle, so he returned to Minas Tirith."

Exelion calmly told Saruman's whereabouts.

But in fact, when the white-robed wizard left, his words were far less flat.

Regarding Allen's rise to fame, this wise man obviously has great opinions, and his words reveal a lot of disdain and sarcasm.

He didn't even want to cross the river to meet Allen.

After all, Saruman, the leader of the Patriotic Society, also believed that he had been humiliated by Allen, not to mention that hateful Gandalf would arrive here soon.

Saruman's vicious words did not confuse Exelion, a member of the Hurin family, but his willpower was also quite tenacious.

Knowing that the two people he cared about were far away from here, Allen had no choice but to discuss the next step with Exelian.

After all, Allen himself represented the reinforcements going south, and Exelion also represented the local army of Gondor. Even the son of Prince Do Amroth had to obey the prime minister's orders.

Originally, Allen also called Lindir. After Cirdan left, this Elrond's deputy was the actual leader of the elf cavalry.

However, the poet is not particularly interested in the meeting. He said that as long as the next war plan is not too outrageous, he will do a good job of cooperating.

In desperation, Alan had no choice but to sit near the king's statue with Exelian and discuss the next move.

From the following conversation, Allen also learned the latest battlefield information, and at the same time reorganized in his mind the current war situation.

When I was in Brownland, I, Cirdan and Lady Galadriel dealt a heavy blow to Sauron's power, and in Pelakir, the enemy's losses were also not small.

Now that the pirates have been successfully dealt with, how much power does the enemy have left?
If the progress on Gandalf's side was similarly smooth, the army of Mordor must be further weakened.

This also means that the claws stretched out from the evil land by the Dark Lord have been completely forced back to his hometown.

But this war is far from over, and Sauron has not expressed his desire for peace.

After thinking about the current situation, Allen especially wanted to test how much power Mordor still has.

How to test it?Of course, he led the soldiers to his house.

If Sauron sends troops out to fight, it means that the battle will last for a long time, and strengthening the defense may be the most appropriate measure at present.

If Sauron hides behind the black gate and does not dare to come out to fight, then a long-term peace may come to Middle-earth.

Thinking of all this, Allen made a suggestion to Exelian to deploy heavy troops at the crossroads to prevent the Haradians from leaving the Morgul Valley.

And all the remaining troops went northward along the Harald Road, cooperated with Gandalf and Senger to eliminate the orc army there, and after taking back Kyle Andros, they began to besiege the Black Gate.

"Your Excellency Alan, although we have assembled an army of nearly 3 people, you should also know that Gondor has not broken the strength of Morannon at the moment. Maybe we can consolidate our existing positions and prevent the enemy from attacking us. That's the right choice."

There was a hint of sadness in Exelian's serious words, and he didn't want to encourage the enemy's arrogance in front of his allies.

It's just that in the past few years of confrontation, he clearly knows how powerful the evil entrenched in Mordor is, and it is not a wise thing to take the initiative to attack it.

"Exelion, I have no intention of breaking through the gates of Mordor. What I want to say is that Sauron, who lives in Barad-dur at this time, is also in trouble. The strength he can rely on is How much? If the army he possessed was really strong enough, then the endless army of half-orcs would have rushed out from behind that evil black wall long ago, instead of watching Gandalf helplessly and leading an army to besiege Kael'an Delos, wait for the valiant Rohirr to drive his minions back to the Black Gate."

Speaking of this, Allen glanced at the statue of the king in the firelight.

At this moment, Exelion's entourage was being ordered to wash the graffiti on the throne, and the king's head had returned to its original position.

And with the restoration of the statue, the light brought by the flames seems to be stronger.

"In this era, Sauron is indeed an evil, cunning, and powerful opponent, but at the same time, he is also a bully and a tough guy. Don't forget, the ancestors of the Númenoreans once captured If we are blindly beaten passively, then in the years to come, the free people will never have peace. At this moment, taking advantage of the weakness of the enemy while we still have strength, to take the initiative to attack and show our fists and courage to the enemy is the most important thing. The only means of obtaining peace, even if it is short-lived, must be brought back by our own hands, so as to be worthy of the heroism and blood we have paid on the battlefield."

Alan's words silenced Exelian. He also thought that Alan's words were reasonable, but the risk of doing so was too great.

What if Sauron wasn't as weak as Allen said?

What if the enemy lays an ambush before the Black Gate?
If there is a decisive battle at the Black Gate, even if it is won, how long will it take for Gondor to recover?
For a moment, Exelian didn't know how to respond to Allen's suggestion.

He who just took over the rights from his father felt that the burden on his shoulders was too heavy at this moment.

And most of the people standing around, including some of the Gondor lords and the young Aragorn.

Most of them also showed a thoughtful expression.

And a loud voice sounded at this moment.

　Let me say a very sorry thing, I have been labeling Dom Aroth as Dom Aroth, because it has been too long and I can’t change it, and I hope you don’t pay too much attention to it, hey! !
