The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 197 Black Gate
Starting from Kyle Andros and arriving at Hermen, it is about 100 kilometers.

The road is not too long, but the situation that the entire army will face next will not be as easy as before.

I don't know when it started, the figure of the ring spirit kept crossing the sky above the army.

It may be because of the fear of the sharp eyes of the elves and the magic in the hands of the wizards that can restrain them.

Those Nazgul flew very high, and they didn't dare to dive down. With human eyes, they couldn't see the figures of these monsters clearly.

But the elves who looked up at the sky from time to time reminded everyone at the scene that enemies had begun to appear in the sky.

With the arrival of the Ring Spirits, anxiety and depression began to sprout in the soldiers' hearts. Even though they didn't know where this emotion came from, the anxiety quickly spread throughout the entire army.

The self-confidence built up because of successive victories before is also being quickly worn away.

Only Allen's subordinates, the elves from Eriador, and a small number of elites were able to maintain a good mental state.

This is also a very normal thing. Most of the Rohan hussars who are loyal to Sengar are young people from various places in Westmark. They lack war experience and a tough heart that has accumulated over the years. .

Fear is a matter of course. Only when they look at the galloping horse flag representing King Rohan, can they find a trace of faith to move forward from the bottom of their hearts.

As for the soldiers belonging to Gondor, before they took up arms, most of them were farmers facing the loess and their backs to the sky. Relying on their loyalty to the king and their blood, they joined the crusade against Mordor.

Their fear is justifiable. The darkness of Mordor has threatened Gondor for thousands of years. The closer they are to the land of death, the more uneasy the soldiers feel.

However, Gondor has a complete military system, and most of the officers have the blood of the Numenoreans, and their willpower far exceeds that of ordinary humans.

With the encouragement of the officers, the soldiers of Gondor were soon able to regain their confidence and continue to move forward, tightly surrounding the banners of the various lords.

As the army continued to move forward, the forest around the road seemed to be darker, and the mountains in the distance began to float disturbing black mist.

At this time, they have come to the edge of the green world. As long as they advance eastward along the path of the Shadow Mountains, the entire army will soon face the extremely terrifying Death Swamp and the extremely desolate Dagorlad Plain.

I don't know how many human and elf lives were buried in these two desolate places.

Even earlier in the day, at Gandalf's suggestion, the whole army began to camp here to rest.

This is already the fifth day since they left the crossroads.

If there is no accident in the middle, then tomorrow afternoon, the coalition army that is going to crusade against Heimen will reach the pass of Chiris Gorgo.

There is already the door of the enemy.

The night of this day can be said to be the most difficult night since the entire army set off from the Mogul Valley.

The bright moon in the sky still shines on them, but through the ominous mist, the previously clear moonlight has turned pale.

From time to time, wolves howled from the northeast of the camp, which made many soldiers unable to sleep peacefully, and also made the sentries on duty often in a state of tension.

And between the cliffs and cols of the Shadow Mountains, there seemed to be countless hazy figures wandering constantly, and the tense atmosphere spread to all the camps.

That night, Allen, Exelion, Gandalf, and Sengar didn't rest at all. They kept shuttling between the camps, and their loud and firm voices continued to resound in the camps. over the sky.

Under the sound, the restless soldiers were finally able to relax and take a short rest before dawn.

Gandalf is due to the help of Naya, coupled with the legendary fame he has acquired over the long years.

Allen relied on the huge reputation he had gained in a short period of time to soothe the restless hearts of the soldiers.

And Exelion is already the prime minister of Gondor, and the Hurin family has counted Gondor for nearly a thousand years, so the power brought by his fame should not be underestimated.

As for Sengar, the descendants of Eorl have an irreplaceable position in the hearts of the Rohir people.

Originally, Gandalf also invited Saruman. The voice of the white-robed wizard has magical powers. As long as he wants to, it will naturally have the effect of stabilizing the army.

But the crux of the problem is that the proud Saruman is unwilling to do such a thing, and ridiculed Gandalf, calling him a "pretentious busy man".

Gandalf, who was boring himself, naturally returned angrily.

After this busy night, the sun soon rose from the east. Although her figure was covered by the shadowy mountains, the bright light all over the sky was telling everyone that morning had come.

The hazy figures hovering around the camp had quietly dissipated at this moment, and the tense atmosphere seemed to have been eased.

After a fairly hearty breakfast, the army set off along the road again, and soon came to the north side of the Shadow Mountains.

In this season close to the moon of sunshine, the desolate land in front of me does not have the slightest warmth.

Pieces of mist rose from the death swamp on the north side of the road, and they dissipated into the air under the blowing of the breeze, and there seemed to be tall figures that dissipated with the mist.

Looking carefully, they seem to have handsome faces and ears shaped like leaves, but they seem to be nothing, just a cloud of smoke.

And the breeze blowing the mist actually made the temperature here turn colder. The army who had been walking for most of the day did not feel the slightest hot and dry feeling, only the gusts of cold wind felt on their backs.

It seems to be closer to the late autumn season here.

And the Moranon who guards Mordor is getting closer and closer to the reinforcements of humans and elves.

It was a huge defensive wall standing at the pass of Chiris Gorgon, and in the middle of this high wall was the Black Gate. A large number of orcs stood on the wall, and they watched the enemies coming from afar with irritated expressions. , the eyes contained all malice.

Even though the dark clouds of Mordor covered the sun here, the Snaga still didn't like to fight in the daytime, and maybe only a small number of Uruks could not care about the current environment.

On both sides of this gate, there stood a tall and evil black tower. Their names were called Kahorst and Nahorst respectively, and together they were the Tower of Fangs.

A large number of arrows are stored in the tower, and there are Uruk archers holding huge black bows stationed there. Anyone who wants to pass through here, if he does not understand the password of Mordor, and does not have Sauron's permission, then he will suffer. To the Gnaw of the Tower of Fangs.

Nazgul, who had been flying high in the sky, no longer hid his figure, but hovered at the top of the two black towers, and there was a mournful howl from time to time.

It was as if telling his master that those overreaching guys had arrived.

On both sides of the high wall are the mountains at the pass of Chirisgorc, on which hundreds of caves are opened. In the dark places of the caves, there are also a large number of dirty orcs dormant.

At Sauron's word they would swarm forth, and lay down any creature that dared provoke their master.

And the Tower of Barad-dur, which is far taller than the Black Gate, has an evil magic eye watching it, more precisely, it is watching Alan and Exelion standing together. , Gandalf, Sengar and others.

Facing Sauron's malicious eyes, Alan's expression was extremely calm, and he even looked at Sauron with a provocative sneer.

Allen, who had used his ability, only saw the short Snaga on the high wall, and there were very few tall Uruk.

This is in line with Allen's conjecture. How many more powerful half-orcs can Mordor accumulate just by relying on the nurturing of the ring spirits?

It wasn't long before Sauron returned to his old home.

And he couldn't wait to launch a war against Gondor.

The veterans saved some time ago should have been used almost in the past few years. As for the Dongyi army hiding behind the tower, Alan has long been in his eyes.

These barbaric tribes who came here in response to Sauron's call were not particularly powerful here. After a little calculation, they should probably number in the thousands.

Obviously, Alan's attack on Ashur in Rovanian also cut off a considerable amount of Sauron's power, and the Dongyi people farther away had not yet fully surrendered to Sauron.

Or some circumstance delayed the answer to Mordor's call.

The only more troublesome thing is that this Dongyi army is actually very rich, almost all of them are cavalry, and yes, if it is not cavalry, how could they rush to Mordor in a short time to support the gods they believe in.

Allen communicated the information he had observed with all the generals on the scene, and told them bluntly that this was an ability passed down from his family, and it did not belong to the power of the Palandir spar.

In Middle Earth, a place with gods, props with magic are not uncommon, and many generals do not have much suspicion.

But in the face of the existing power of Mordor, after a brief discussion, they sent a large number of heralds.

And the army of more than 2 people, also under the order, began to set up several huge square formations in the desolate Dagorlad.

The Gondor infantry used the rotten swamps and stinky ponds on the wasteland as their own protective ditch, and formed a thick formation behind them.

Those heavily armed elites stood at the front of the team, holding all kinds of weapons, while the unarmored militiamen stood behind the elites as an assistance.

Team after team of archers stood at the forefront of the infantry, and they were the wave of force that could strike the enemy the fastest.

And the one who commanded this central army was Exelion who had just become the prime minister, and Saruman stood by his side to prevent Nazgul from beheading the prime minister who was just an ordinary person.

In fact, those ring spirits use this trick very slickly.

The nearly [-] cavalry troops are divided into three parts, one part is the reinforcements from the north from Allen and Lindir, and they guard the right wing of the entire phalanx.

The Rohan knights led by Sengel guarded the left wing of the phalanx, and Gandalf stayed by Sengel's side. No matter how brave and courageous they are, the Rohir people are just ordinary humans.

At critical moments, they need the help of wizards.

The remaining [-] Gondorian cavalry were led by Adrashir as a reserve team, guarding Exelion's side, and appearing as an emergency cavalry in a possible battle. anywhere on the battlefield.

Of course, it must also be mentioned that those Durin dwarves who are building large trebuchets only need a long time to build such siege equipment.

Even if they worked together to build the two catapults, with sufficient materials and tools, it would take at least ten days to complete the two trebuchets.

At this time, Allen thinks it is okay, because the supplies brought by the army will last for about a month at most. If it takes longer, the army will have to go back home.

A few hundred kilometers away, more than 2 people were transported from Gondor for supplies. It was really difficult for a country with hundreds of thousands of people. The officials in charge of logistics in Baicheng were able to maintain a large number of troops, and they have persisted until now. .

It also depends on Gondor's well-stocked granary and the strong support of the folk gentry, otherwise, the prime minister's family would have gone bankrupt.

As for buying from the simulator, Allen has never considered this approach, let alone how to explain the matter of changing food out of thin air.

Those who are stationed here are an army of more than 2 people, and the dinars in his small treasury don't last long at all.

Besides, Alan didn't plan to besiege Mordor for too long, he came here just to test Long's reaction.

By the way, let the Dark Lord see the power of his own side, and tell him that Middle Earth is not what you want.

Even Sauron can still possess great power, and an extremely large orc army came out from the black gate.

Allen also had sufficient self-confidence, and left here with all the soldiers who came here, and returned to the Anduin River to continue defending Mordor's attack.

Moreover, under Alan's observation, Sauron did not show too much power.

The tens of thousands of half-orcs gathered in Udon Canyon did not have much advantage compared with their own forces, because those guys were all short and wretched Snaga.

Hiding the hundreds of trolls behind the gate, as long as they have enough Noldo arrows, the rangers under Alan's command are enough to deal with these rough-skinned, thick-skinned but inconvenient guys.

As for the ring spirits hovering in the sky, with the assistance of Gandalf and Saruman, Alan was not worried about how much trouble this evil servant would cause him.

On the contrary, Allen felt that the side with more cavalry was more likely to win the battle, because most of the wolf troops under Sauron's command died in the brown field, and the rest was simply nothing. Nothing to be afraid of.

If there is no battle, then Allen and others negotiated that it would take half a month to besiege the Black Gate, and use the built trebuchet to blast in the direction of the Black Gate for several days.

Under such provocations, Sauron was still able to hide in his hometown without any reaction.

Then everyone present will see that the Dark Lord is strong on the outside but capable on the inside, and Sauron's prestige will inevitably be ruined in the past few decades.

This will help to increase the confidence of the free people against the darkness, and it will also increase the cohesion among the various races. In the days to come, they will be able to better unite and deal with possible crises.

And then, it depends on how Sauron chooses.
