Chapter 201: The Lord of the Rings: The Chicken and the Dog, Not Worth a Mention(1/2)
"Orc...don't you have to eat?"
What appeared before them was endless orc army that almost covered the vast Palano plain.
The number of these orcs is enough to make the intensive phobia scream.
There is at least one hundred thousand troops to lay a foundation, and it is probably possible to say that 200,000 is also possible.
Anyway, as you see, there are military formations composed of orcs everywhere.
"The orcs also need food."
Polomo, with a solemn expression, gritted his teeth and popularized Li Xiang as a science popularization. "Soren raised many slaves, planted food and fed livestock in the vast East, and provided logistical support to the orcs."
"The characteristics of a half-orc." Li Xiang rubbed his chin and observed carefully. "In addition to being ugly, he must be very capable of giving birth."
"The orcs are about to attack the city. We need to rush into the city as soon as possible and inform everyone of the news that reinforcements are about to arrive."
Polomo seemed very anxious, "I'm afraid their morale will not be able to hold on."
Normal people will be very afraid of such a large number of legions.
If it weren't for the strongest fortress city of Minas Tiris on the entire Middle-earth continent, the defenders would have begun to escape.
Of course, the defenders may not escape because everyone knows that the orcs do not need prisoners, they only need rations.
In this regard, the orc and Boss Cao wanted to go together.
"The orcs have not started siege yet?"
Li Xiang on the horse's back raised his hand to cover his eyebrows and looked into the distance.
Polomo, who had rich experience in the battlefield, immediately responded, "It seems that he hasn't been done yet, he should be preparing for the siege. What did you see?"
Li Xiang pointed his hand at the magnificent Minas Tiris in the distance, "The city is on fire."
Polomo hurriedly stood up and stood on the horse's back, and watched carefully with his outstanding eyesight.
After a moment he breathed a sigh of relief, "It was not that the fire was on fire, but that the beacon tower of Amundin was lit in the city and asked for help from the Kingdom of Rohan."
Sure enough, as they spoke, a burning flame lit up on the mountaintop far behind them.
This is probably the fastest and most effective way to deliver messages in the era of cold weapons.
In the mountains where the road is difficult and long, you can't run even if you speed up for hundreds of miles.
On the contrary, a beacon tower is built across several hills, and it is more effective to convey messages through fire.
In the original plot, the Regent of Gondor received the bad news that his eldest son Polomo died in battle. In despair, he lost confidence in survival and victory, so he wanted to take everyone to die. He never thought of lighting the beacon tower and notifying the Rohans to fulfill the Eo oath.
Now, Polomo lives well. Even if the Regent doesn’t consider himself, he has to consider his favorite eldest son, so naturally he ignited the beacon tower.
The so-called Eo Oath refers to the fact that during the Battle of Calebrant in the Third Era, Gondor was at a disadvantage and was in danger of being destroyed.
The then regent, Cheryan, sent an envoy to seek help from the Rohans in the north. Io, the leader of the Rohan tribe, put aside the grudges of Rohan and Gondor's love and killing each other for thousands of years, and chose the entire army to attack to rescue Gondor.
After getting a strong aid and winning a complete victory, Eo and Cheryan slapped in front of Irandir's grave.
‘The enemy of Gondor is Rohan. As long as Gondor asks for assistance, Rohan will respond.’
In return, Gondor gave all the land north of the White Mountains to Eou, and his official founding of the tribes formed the Kingdom of Rohan.
On the peak of the endless mountain range, surrounded by clouds and mist, beacon towers ignited flames one after another.
These flames will be passed all the way to the distant Edoras, seeking help from Rohan.
Of course, at this time, King Hieudon of Rohan had already begun to assemble troops a few days ago to prepare for the south.
Li Xiang’s journey on Middle-earth continent, in addition to telling some jokes about Yoho, he also likes to listen to the members of the Ring Guardian Team telling the history here.
He also knew very clearly about the contents of Eou's oath.
This oath actually has another name, called The King's Sorrow.
The cause was the 14th Rohan King who went south to aid Gondor at the Battle of Polos Ferry, and both sons were killed in battle.
In the original plot without Li Xiang, King Hieudon of Rohan, who once again practiced the Eo oath, would also die in the battle of the Palano Plains.
When it comes to being an ally, the Rohans are absolutely qualified.
"We must convey the news that Rohan reinforcements have already set out into the city as soon as possible."
Polomo stared at Li Xiang anxiously, "Please help Gondor."
Minas Tiris was surrounded and there were even ring spirits riding flying dragons in the sky.
In this case, Polomo did not have the slightest confidence to pass the message into the city.
The only hope is to be placed on the powerful mage.
Li Xiang naturally would not refuse. He turned to look at the Doomsday Volcano that was spewing black smoke into the sky. There was the famous Modo there.
Minas Tiris is the first line to resist Modo, and you can see it even if you look up.
"Gandalff and the others should be about to reach the Doomsday Volcano, right?"
His eyes looked at the Volcano Doomsday, a little strange.
"They will definitely not go smoothly when they go there this time!"
Polomo pretended to organize his sword, but because he was too focused, he just didn't hear it.
In his opinion, this is Li Xiang's angry, the traditional grudge between the two mages.
But in fact, this is not the case.
The reason why Li Xiang is so sure is that he came to the world of the Lord of the Rings this time and received the task of destroying Sauron.
If it was really like the original plot, throwing the Supreme Lord of the Ring into the magma can kill Sauron, then the dog system must have drunk too much water from alcohol and given him benefits.
You don’t have to do anything, follow the plot silently, or even just don’t touch the plot, find a city to eat, drink and have fun, and wait for the guardian team to complete the task.
If this is the case, the dog system will definitely not be a savior system, but a welfare system.
Specially send him benefits and gifts to Ji.
Because he understood the virtues of the system, Li Xiang dared to conclude that there must be something strange about Soren.
If he believed in the plot as soon as he appeared and did nothing to eat, drink and have fun, then in the end, eight out of ten were the guardian teams that were completely destroyed and the Middle Earth continent became Sauron's territory.
Withdrew his gaze, Li Xiang told Polomo to "look at the luggage and never lose it."
The luggage he mentioned was Saruman wrapped in a felt blanket and tied to a pack horse.
Polomo had long guessed what was here, but he didn't say anything and showed it at all.
The story between the mages is that if you can not participate, don’t participate. It will definitely be no good if you participate.
Boromo, who was ready, asked Li Xiang, "How do we get in?"
"How to get in? Of course, I'm riding a horse in." Li Xiang rode his horse forward and headed straight towards the orc army formation in the distance. "It's just a group of native chickens and tiled dogs, not worth mentioning."
Polomo was stunned.
He originally thought that Li Xiang would use spells, such as invisibility, and even he had made himself as bait to prepare for Li Xiang's psychologically to open the channel.
But the result was that there was nothing fancy, just breaking into the army of orcs.
This is not a mage at all, it is completely warrior style.
Still the kind of brave warrior who is the best in the world.
After all, few people have the courage to walk towards hundreds of thousands of enemy troops alone.
Moreover, the enemy should not be captured, but only foreign orcs who only have food.
After a brief confusion and shock, Polomo, who came to his senses, hurriedly grabbed the reins of the pack horse and rode his horse to follow.
He believed in Li Xiang's strength and admired Li Xiang's courage!
Not long after walking, I arrived at the edge of the Palano Plain.
The nearby orcs soon discovered them, and a group of more than ten cavalrymen rushed over quickly.
The wolf cavalry shouted loudly, waving the weapons in their hands to accelerate.
The wolf they were riding also grinned and showed their teeth, and red eyes prepared for a full meal.
Two people and three horses are enough to fill the belly of more than a dozen wolves, and there is still a lot of leftovers.
Polomo, holding his long sword tightly, gritted his teeth and prepared to face the upcoming fierce battle.
He didn't take it seriously yet.
What really scared him was the army of orcs farther away, which was as numerous as mountains and seas.
The wolf cavalry, whose speed had been fully increased, rushed to a high speed of only more than twenty steps away from Li Xiang and the others.
At this distance, Li Xiang could even clearly see the food residue in the wolf's mouth, which was still raw.
‘Dongdongdongdongdongdong~~~’
Amid a series of dense collisions, the group of wolf cavalry crashed into an invisible wall one after another.
The absolute defense field of Qi Ring.
