Chapter 608: Rohan Coup and Dol Guldur
"Did you hear any movement over the White Mountains last night? It sounded like cheers or the wailing of ghosts..."

It was already late last night when Mike returned from the White Mountains, and Seger and the others had already gone to bed.

However, it seemed that the prince of Rohan did not sleep well because he was worried about the situation in Edolas.

Therefore, some movements of the ghost army in the White Mountains were heard.

"The Gondor ghost army has waited for more than a thousand years and finally got hope, so they may have a small 'celebration'. But don't worry, they have their own mission and will not have any impact on our actions." Mike did not hide the matter of the ghost army and revealed some of it to Seger appropriately.

In any case, until they were summoned, the army of Gondor ghosts could not leave the White Mountains.

Naturally, there is no impact.

"Are there really ghosts?..." Sezer was surprised for a moment, but didn't ask any more questions.

His most important task now is to return to Edoras and save the entire Rohan from his father.

Compared to the affairs of the living, insignificant ghosts can only come later.

"What are you going to do next? How about we recruit some soldiers from the border of Rohan and take them to Edoras to see my father..." The reason why Seger returned this time was to take the position of King of Gondor from his incompetent father.

Therefore, feasible suggestions are put forward.

You must know that although Fan Zher is incompetent, he has gathered a large number of capable people around him to protect his safety.

In Seger's view, it is not easy to launch a coup under such circumstances.

"There's no need to go through so much trouble. We can just go to Edoras to deal with your father. I believe that for the sake of Gondor, the ministers know how to choose between you and your father." Mike gave a more specific solution.

Between the current king who has lost the support of the people and the young and promising prince, anyone with a discerning eye would know which one to choose.

If those Rohan ministers and guards are still ignorant, Mike will take action to make them know the pros and cons.

In the next few days, with Michael's guarantee, Seger led three hundred elite soldiers supported by the Regent of Gondor, bypassed the Rohan border soldiers, and headed straight for Edoras, the capital of Rohan.

Thanks to the current King Vanzhel's perverse actions, the troops on the border of Rohan had long been unguarded, and the orcs could enter and exit at will. Naturally, Mike's 300-man special force could also have a smooth journey.

"Raise the prince's banner and go meet the King of Rohan~" Mike gave the order in front of the gate of Edoras.

After three days of long journey, they finally arrived at the capital of Rohan.

As a prince's flag was raised, the guards at the gate of Edolas realized that the prince had returned.

Looking at Prince Rohan and the three hundred soldiers behind him who were equipped with elves and had ill intentions, the guards realized that something was wrong.

But no matter what Prince Rohan wants to do, it is their "family affair" after all.

Therefore, under the leadership of wise people, the guards of Rohan Royal City wisely chose to protect themselves.

We watched as Prince Rohan and the team behind him entered the capital of Rohan.

"How dare you come back without my summons? And what about the Gondor soldiers behind you?..." In front of the palace of Rohan capital, the current King Vanzer, who hurried over after hearing the news, stopped his son Sezer with a grim expression.

The king, who was devoted to pleasure, naturally couldn't bear to see his prince bossing around, so Fanzher disliked his son very much.

However, when he saw the Gondorian soldiers behind him, a look of deep fear appeared on his face.

After all, if the regent far away in Gondor wanted to target him, Fanzel felt that his good days might be over.

One knows one's own business...

Vanzhel knew very well that with Rohan's current national strength, it was impossible to resist the army of the Regent of Gondor.

"Your Majesty, father, you are old. If you choose to abdicate now, I promise that you will have a peaceful old age." Looking at his father whose body was hollowed out by alcohol and sex, Sezer strengthened his will.

The current King of Rohan, Vanzhir, is actually only in his early forties. He should be in his prime, but due to years of indulgence in pleasure, his body has become extremely weak.

With sagging skin and a head full of white hair, he looks like a useless old man who is about to die.

"Is this your idea or that of the Regent of Gondor?" Power and wealth prevented the King of Rohan from letting go.

With a fierce gleam in his eyes, he actually had the aura of a king.

"For the sake of all the people of Rohan, please abdicate." Prince Seger bowed and did not answer his father's question.

"That is to say, this is your own idea..." King Fanzher sneered and suddenly shouted, "How dare you! You are openly plotting treason. Come!!! Arrest him and put him in jail~"

Without the threat of Gondor's Regent, the King of Rohan felt that he could do it again.

In an instant, more than a dozen people walked out from the guards behind him.

Seeing that the situation was changing, Mike signaled with his eyes and the three hundred elite soldiers from Gondor came over.

Immediately, three hundred long swords were unsheathed and chopped the dozen loyal guards into meat paste.

There's no way to seek death like this.

Obviously, there is a huge gap in the combat power between the two sides. Why do some people think that the title of king is more effective than the will of the prince?
"King Rohan, do you remember me? You sent someone to invite me, and now I am here." Mike also stepped forward and walked in front of King Rohan.

"You, are you the mysterious [Healer] of Gondor?" King Rohan naturally couldn't remember Mike, the [Troll Killer].

But according to legend, the mysterious "Healer" of Gondor, in addition to possessing magical healing powers, his most important characteristic is his extremely handsome appearance.

Considering that Michael was standing with three hundred Gondor soldiers, the King of Rohan guessed his identity.

"What did Seger promise to make you help him so much?" Although King Vanger of Rohan was dim-witted, he had good eyesight. He could see that the 300 elite soldiers of Gondor seemed to be obeying the orders of the Healer, so he promised: "As long as you defect to me, I can satisfy you no matter what you want. Beauty, money, power..."

"I can even share the rights of the Rohan royal family with you..."

Well, in order to maintain his position and continue to enjoy himself, King Vanzhel of Gondor has gone "crazy".

Mike shook his head and ignored him. Instead, he looked at the hundreds of King's Guards who were still watching behind him and said, "Fan Zher's evil deeds have made the people of Rohan live in misery. Do you still want to continue to help him?"

"Put down your weapons now, stop doing evil and do good. I believe Prince Seger will treat you well in the future."

These members of the royal guard can be said to be the elite troops summoned by King Vanzhir of Rohan from all over Rohan.

Mike also saw Andre in the crowd.

If these people are used properly, Rohan may be able to get out of the haze soon.

"Sezer, do you really want to watch an outsider hold the power of Rohan? You are committing treason..." Seeing that Mike ignored him and instead instigated the King's Guards to rebel, King Vanzhel of Rohan began to scold his son.

After all, the reason Mike used to incite the Royal Guard to rebel was by borrowing the name of Prince Seger.

It can be said that when people are pushed, they can indeed unleash great potential.

King Rohan, who had always been known to be incompetent, suddenly became clear-headed.

At the same time, some Rohan ministers who heard the news and came to watch the fun began to criticize Prince Sezer.

For these ministers, a foolish king also has its advantages. At least a foolish king, apart from focusing on pleasure, does not care about other things.

Accustomed to corruption, they obviously did not want Prince Seger, who looked like a wise ruler, to come to power.

"The traitors have all jumped out, and it's up to you now." After doing everything that should be done, Mike stepped back and gave the stage to Prince Seger.

After all, the other party is the real successor of Rohan.

Things have come to this point, and it is time for the other party to clean up the mess.

"I'm sorry, father. I have to do this for the people of Rohan." Prince Seger raised his head again, his eyes were sharp, and then he looked past King Rohan and looked at the King's Guards and said, "I know that many of you joined the Guards against your will to help the evil. Now, as long as you obey my call, I promise to forgive your previous behavior."

"Even for the sake of Rohan, those of you who are capable will be given important positions in the future."

The successor of Rohan, or the future King of Rohan, has spoken. Like Andre, the future members of the Rohan guard were still concerned about each other and soon laid down their weapons and bowed to Prince Seger.

"Father, please abdicate~"

Prince Seger, who holds the power, looks at King Rohan again.

This time, his eyes were no longer gentle, and his tone became extremely tough.

"Forget it, it seems that I am really old." King Fanzhel of Rohan was defeated by his son's sharp eyes, and accepted the reality after sighing.

Then, Prince Seger commanded Gondor's elite soldiers to capture several Rohan ministers who had just jumped for joy and sent them to prison.

……

The next day, after informing the people of Rohan, Prince Seger officially took over the crown symbolizing the royal power of Rohan in the Hall of Edoras.

At the same time, the Rohan army also started to restructure from this day, and outstanding generals were sent back to the border to resist the invasion of dark forces.

……

"The situation in Rohan has just improved. Are you sure you don't want to stay for a while?" After there were only two people left in the kingdom hall, Sezer asked Mike sincerely.

Now, more than half a month has passed since Seger took over as King of Rohan. Under his powerful reforms, Rohan is developing in a good direction.

As for the old King Fanzher, he was placed under house arrest.

Due to Michael's contribution to Rohan, he is now given the title of Honorary National Master of Rohan.

This title means that Michael does not need to do anything for Rohan, and he can always enjoy rights in Rohan that are only one level lower than the king.

From this we can see that Seger is much more magnanimous than the Regent of Gondor.

"I'm done with this matter, and it's time for me to do my own thing." Mike saw that Seger wanted to keep him, but he still chose to refuse, and encouraged him: "Believe in yourself, you will become a great king!"

Two days later, under the reluctant gaze of Seger and his son Theoden, Michael left Rohan alone, leaving behind a dozen boxes of treasure and set out again for Lonely Mountain.

On the other side, after flying over the Misty Mountains on a giant eagle, the dwarf adventure team took a short rest and finally arrived at the Black Forest, the last stop before the Lonely Mountain.

In this forest cursed by evil spirits live the Sindar Elves, the enemies of Durin's dwarves, and the Sindar Elves' King Thranduil.

Before entering this twisted forest, the grey wizard Gandalf saw the Eye of Sauron, the symbol of the dark forces, at the entrance. This meant that Sauron's dark army had crossed the northeastern defense line of the Sindar elves and entered the Misty Mountains from the north.

Together with the Orcs and Wolf Corps in Moria in the south, Sauron's army has already formed a sweeping momentum towards Middle-earth from both the north and south.

This discovery made Gandalf uneasy, so after instructing the adventure team to be careful after entering the Misty Forest, the wizard went to the Misty Mountain fortress Dol Guldur alone to find out what was going on.

Dol Guldur is located west of the Misty Mountains, in the center of Middle-earth. It was once an important stronghold for dark creatures to invade Middle-earth.

It can be said that if the dark forces occupy there again, it will mean that the peace in the west of Middle-earth will also be broken.

As Gandalf and the dwarf adventure team split into two groups, Michael also took a boat along the Anduin River to Lothlórien (Golden Forest).

Here lived the Nandor elves, the land of the Elf Queen Galadriel and her husband Celeborn.

At the same time, the elf princess Arwen also lived here for many years.

"Stop, the elves are in a stronghold ahead. No one is allowed to enter."

When Mike arrived at the entrance of the Golden Forest, he was stopped by a patrol team of elves.

The Golden Forest where the Nandor elves live is called the Golden Forest because there grows a tree called Mauron.

This tree grows tall, each tree is about six to ten meters tall. The bark is smooth and silvery gray, and the leaves of this tree turn golden yellow in autumn and never fall.

At the same time, many golden flowers will bloom between the tree branches, which looks like a fairyland on earth from a distance.

The scenery is in no way inferior to that in Rivendell.

Now is the transition between autumn and winter, the time when the golden forest is breathtakingly beautiful.

"I'm adventurer Mike, and I've met your queen Galadriel before. I came here just to enjoy the beautiful scenery." After being stopped, Mike immediately revealed his identity.

"So you are the [Troll Killer] from the north. I heard that when you passed by Moria, you also destroyed the evil Yama in it..."

"Your information is outdated. I heard that Mr. Mike recently went to the Gondor defense line. Because he solved the hidden danger of the corpse virus, he won the reputation of "Healer" there..."

"I didn't expect this legendary hero to be so handsome..."

"..."

Because of the presence of Queen Galadriel, the number of female elf warriors in the Golden Forest is no less than that of male elves.

Mike was lucky enough to meet a patrol team composed of female elves.

But compared to male elves, female elves were more curious, and soon the topic went off topic.

"Hmm~ I wonder if I'm lucky enough to go to the Golden Forest and take a look?" Mike cleared his throat and drew the attention of the female elves back.

If we let them chat any longer, it will be dark soon.

"Of course~" The elf captain, a female elf with a heroic look in her outfit, said with a smile: "It is our honor to receive the human heroes."

"Besides, Princess Arwen mentioned you many times when she came back from Rivendell last time. She would be very happy if she knew you came to the Golden Forest."

Afterwards, a group of beautiful female elf warriors took Mike into the depths of the golden forest.

Along the way, he enthusiastically asked him about his experiences in the northern highlands, Moria, and even the defense of Gondor.

Of course, there were also female elves who were curious about the gossip about Mike and the elf princess Alwen.

It turns out that having a good reputation is popular everywhere, unlike the white wizard Saruman who shamelessly went to help Gondor guard the fortress, but was still despised.

Speaking of Saruman, Michael met him after entering the settlement of the Nandor elves.

After being "expelled" from Gondor, the White Wizard came to Lothlórien. At this time, he was walking on the forest path beside the stream, seemingly relaxing.

"Hello, Saruman, long time no see~" When meeting an acquaintance, Mike greeted the other person with a smile.

The white-robed wizard didn't expect to see Mike here, especially the smile on the other's face, which made him feel dazzling.

So, as if he had seen something dirty, Saruman immediately turned around and walked away.

Saruman also heard about Michael's contribution to Gondor's defense. The two of them were on the side of justice, so the white-robed wizard naturally appreciated Michael's behavior.

It's just that the two of them don't have the same aura.

So Saruman chose to avoid the provoke and out of mind.

"How rude~" Mike looked at the other person's embarrassed back and shrugged with a smile.

You know what, it’s quite interesting to tease this poker face.

"I heard that the White Wizard's work in Gondor has not been going well recently. It may have affected his mood, so he behaved like this. Please forgive me..."

The female elf captain, unaware of the existing conflict between Mike and the white-robed wizard, was still thinking of remedial measures for the white-robed wizard's recent rudeness.

I have to say that the female elves are indeed very kind.

"I don't think the white-robed wizard is anything special. Maybe he is jealous of Mr. Michael's good reputation in Gondor..."

"He has a stern face all day long, as if everyone owes him something..."

"..."

Facial features determine treatment, not to mention that every female elf is actually a potential member of the Appearance Association.

In addition, Mike had many legendary experiences, so many elves spoke up for him and criticized the white-robed wizard with a bad temper.

In this way, a group of people crossed the forest stream and arrived at the living area of ​​the Nandor elves.

The Nandor elves are close to nature and have a special love for water. Therefore, where they live, there is not only a mountain stream, but also a huge waterfall.

Mike also saw the elf princess Alwen here. She was still dressed in the blue gauze dress as before and was playing in the water beside the pool under the waterfall.

"What a coincidence, you are here too." Mike also greeted the elf princess with a smile.

"Mike, Mike..." Alvin, who was immersed in his own world, was startled by the sudden interruption. After seeing who was coming, he immediately put on airs and corrected, "This is my home~"

"Really? Then I won't disturb you from playing in the water, just continue." Mike nodded and continued to follow the female elves towards the elves' residential area.

"What a disgusting guy..." Princess Alwen couldn't help but grit her teeth as she watched Mike talking and laughing as he left with the female elves.

Then he felt upset about his recent gaffe.

It was night time, and because Queen Galadriel and her husband Celeborn were not in the Golden Forest, the only elf princess Arwen was responsible for receiving Michael.

Of course, at the other end of the table sat the white-robed wizard Saruman with a stern face.

"I heard that you are going to rob the treasure of Lonely Mountain from the dwarves. Is that true?" At the dinner table, the Elf Princess seemed to deliberately forget the previous unpleasantness.

He spoke first and broke the silence with Mike.

As for Saruman on the other side, he is completely invisible and there is no need to worry about him.

"What's wrong? Is it not possible? Lonely Mountain is now an unowned land, and anyone who wants to go can go there." Mike answered while eating a Nandor elf feast.

This time the elf princess did not cause trouble, so in addition to some fresh vegetarian food, there were also a lot of delicious meat food on the table.

Mike expressed satisfaction.

"Do you like treasure so much?" Feeling the thorn in Mike's words, the elf princess Alwen's tone also became stiff.

In the eyes of the elves, greed is also a sin.

They have always been simple-minded and cannot understand human beings' enthusiasm for money.

"It's okay, money is not very important to me. I go to Lonely Mountain mainly to meet the dragon Smaug." Mike said nonchalantly.

Smaug, as the last evil dragon in Middle-earth, has a great reputation.

After dealing with it, Mike will definitely be able to collect a large amount of endless power of faith.

Compared to improving his own strength, the treasures in Lonely Mountain do have limited appeal to Mike.

"I told you, how can a brave man lose himself in the temptation of money?" As if she was very satisfied with Mike's answer, a smile unconsciously appeared on the face of the elf princess.

……

In this way, Mike stayed in Lothlórien for three days in a row. He had good food and drink and beautiful female elves to chat with. His life was so comfortable.

During this period, the relationship with the elf princess Alwen also eased, but when she saw Mike chatting happily with other female elves, the elf princess would still be very angry.

That day, just as Michael was about to leave the Golden Forest and continue his journey to Lonely Mountain, Queen Galadriel and her husband Celeborn hurried back from outside.

At the same time, he brought back bad news that Gandalf was in danger in Dol Guldur.

The couple came back this time because they wanted to call the white wizard Saruman to go to Dol Guldur to rescue Gandalf.

What surprised the couple was that they actually saw Mike here.

Mike's strength had been recognized by everyone as early as the last [Holy White Council].

So, when Queen Galadriel was organizing people to rescue Gandalf, she also sincerely invited Michael.

"Going to Dol Guldur? No problem." Mike thought about it and accepted the invitation of the Elf Queen.

The current dwarf adventuring team was probably rescued by the Sindar elves in the Mirkwood Forest and then imprisoned by Thranduil.

Even if Mike went to Dol Guldur, he was confident that he could reach Lonely Mountain before the dwarves escaped from Mirkwood to the Lonely Mountain.
