Start with Lord of the Rings

Chapter 218 Hope, Commander, Mutation!

the world has changed
I know from the water
I know from the earth
I know from the wind
In the middle of the night, in Rivendell, in front of the attic of the exquisite tower, Eldron stared at the quiet valley shrouded in hazy lights, with a deep expression on his face.

"The strength of the enemy grows day by day"

"Sauron has sent his puppet Saruman against Rohan"

"Essinger's army has come out in full force, and they will kill the people of Rohan."

"The evil eye of Sauron is now watching Gondor"

"The last free human kingdom in the whole world is about to face the arrival of Modo's army."

"He felt the approach of the Ring."

"The will of the ring-bearer is fading"

"The age of elves has come to an end"

"Are we to remain in Middle-earth and resign ourselves to our fate?"

"Do you want to let humans fight alone?"

Madam Galadriel's words kept echoing in her mind, and Elrond's expression became more and more serious.

The crescent moon in the sky disappeared into the dark clouds at some point.

The night grew darker.

At this time, a small figure suddenly flew quickly from the sky, and flew straight to Eldron in front of the loft of the tower.

The messenger bird chirped in Eldron's ear and flew away quickly and disappeared.

Elrond turned around and walked towards the palace behind him.

Walk through the attic corridor of the exquisite hall that is familiar and quiet.

It didn't take long.

Eldron came to a particularly delicate room.

Walking into the room slowly, I saw Arwen in a long black dress sitting in front of the window and staring quietly out of the window.

"Arwen"

Elrond said softly: "The time is up."

Arwen immediately turned his head to look at his father.

"The ship for Valinor is ready."

Said Elrond: "Come, for they will soon set sail."

Looking at her father, Arwen said softly, "I've made up my mind."

The voice fell.

Elrond's complexion changed slightly, but he immediately returned to his previous calm in the blink of an eye.

"He's not coming back."

"Why do you stay in this hopeless place?"

Elrond stared at his daughter and spoke again, of course he knew what decision Arwen had just made.

"Because there is still hope."

Arwen spoke softly again, with a determined face.

"call"

Elrond took a deep breath, suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, walked slowly to the open window, looked out the dark window and said slowly: "Even if Aragorn can survive, you must also separate."

"Even if Sauron is overthrown, defeated."

"Even if Aragorn takes the throne"

"Even if everything you wish for comes true"

"Everything can be achieved"

"You're still going to feel the fleeting pain of human destiny."

"No matter how many years pass, time"

"Aragorn will die one day."

"At that time, you will only face endless pain and pain."

"He's going to die."

"With the glorious image of the king among men, it will remain in people's hearts forever."

"But you, my daughter."

"You will continue to live in this world, forever trapped in darkness and confusion."

"It's like a night in winter, without any stars."

"You will be left alone in this world"

"Wandering between solitude and darkness, forever, till the end of your long life."

late at night.

Helm's Deep.

Horn Fort.

A large number of burning torches and braziers illuminate the entire military fort.

Inside the wide outer courtyard and inner wall.

This is the largest and most open place in the entire Horn Fort. A large number of residents are busy here. They light a fire, cook dinner, eat, and rest.

Morgan was now walking inside the inner wall.

Behind him were two companions, Legolas and Gimli, and two warrior leaders.

Yes, not so long ago in front of an army of hussars and guards.

King Theoden personally appointed Morgan, appointing him as one of the commanders, in charge of all matters of the outer wall warriors.

All fighters defending the outer wall must obey Morgan's command and jurisdiction.

If there is a situation of non-compliance with the order, Morgan has the highest temporary disposal power, that is, the power of life and death.

But King Theoden made Morgan the Commander's obvious hand.

When Theoden revealed Morgan's identity in front of a group of Rohan hussars.

There was an obvious exclamation-like noise from the entire army.

In fact, it has been several days since Morgan arrived at Edoras, and then followed Theoden and a group of residents to the Horn Fort for refuge.

But in fact, only a handful of people know Morgan's true identity.

After all, Gandalf is more vivid and conspicuous than his image.

Morgan's "recognition" is too low.

Especially in the human kingdom Rohan.

When the legendary protagonist appeared in front of him, all the soldiers expressed their enthusiasm and welcome to Morgan's command and jurisdiction.

This made King Theoden smile. It was right to find Morgan, and his idea was indeed right.

Theoden finished appointing Morgan, said a few more words, and left in a hurry.

Time is running out, and the entire Horn Fort needs him to manage and command, so there is no way to chat with Morgan more.

As for Morgan to find out more.

The two warrior chiefs following him could answer most of Morgan's questions.

One of the two leaders was the leader who had been staying at the Horn Fort.

The other was the leader of the hussars, who had been serving under the command of Eomer, the third marshal of Rohan.

These two are acting as Morgan's advisers at this time.

"A strategic plan has been made for this battle, focusing on defense. So, how are the arrows prepared for the soldiers?"

Morgan walked inside the inner wall, glanced at everything around him, turned his head to ask the warrior leader beside him, and walked towards the high wall in front of him without stopping.

"It's ready, we have enough inventory, and this time it will definitely give Essinger's monsters a good look."

The middle-aged leader immediately nodded and said.

He has stayed at the Horn Fort in Helm's Deep Valley for a long time, and he is very familiar with the situation here.

"What about the other things that are prepared to deal with the enemy's siege?"

Morgan continued.

Have you ever seen a pig running without eating pork?
Although Morgan has gone through countless battles, although most of the cases are single-handed, he has never led an army to attack.

But anyway, most of his friends are either kings and lords, or ministers and generals, and they are not mortals anyway.

It is normal for Morgan to have some understanding of leading troops under the influence of his ears and eyes.

He roughly knew the methods of attack and counterattack in the battle of defending the city, as well as some important things to pay attention to.

"Of course, the log with thorns, stones, spears, and kerosene are all ready."

Seeing the legendary dragon slaying warrior commander ask these questions, the middle-aged leader immediately said respectfully.

He did not underestimate Morgan, nor did he dare to underestimate Morgan.

Of course, he also didn't know that this was Morgan's first time commanding troops to fight.

He knew from the adventure legends that Morgan had good relations with the king of the Northern Lone Mountain Dwarf Kingdom, the king of the River Valley Gang, and the Elven King of the Mirk Forest. He knew that these methods of defending the city handed down were very normal.

After all, he had grown up listening to Morgan stories.

After hearing what the warrior leader finished speaking, Morgan seemed to have thought of something, and stopped immediately.

"Mallen, how did you usually dispose of feces in the Horn Fort?"

Under the suspicious gazes of the people behind him, Morgan looked at the middle-aged warrior leader beside him and asked again.

Yes, Morgan, who traveled from the Great Heavenly Dynasty, thought of a cruel method to deal with the siege soldiers when defending the city. , full of lethality.

Not only the direct splashing of the golden juice has a huge lethality, but the lethality of the arrowheads stained with the golden juice is even more astonishing.

Because the feces are very dirty, the wounds of soldiers who are basically shot will definitely be infected, and then they will die.

"stool?"

Hearing Morgan ask this, the faces of the people behind were a little unnatural.

In this world, although most people find a place to solve it when they need it.

However, in some large cities and towns, in order to avoid urban sanitation, there is still the concept of "toilets" that concentrate on processing feces.

But in this Horn Fort, Morgan wasn't sure.

"There are quite a few fighters staying behind in the Horn Fort. Of course we have dug out a cesspit specially designed to dispose of everyone's excrement."

After a little silence, the middle-aged leader Maren answered the words and said.

"Oh, that's good, how many?"

Morgan's eyes lit up. Fortunately, these big bastards didn't deal with it anywhere, so he immediately continued to ask.

"Uh, there's a lot."

Mullen said softly, although he didn't know what Morgan was thinking.

But the other party's formal questioning in this way must not be due to concern about the health of the Horn Fort.

"Okay, I'll give you a task."

Morgan turned and looked at the middle-aged leader in front of him and said in a deep voice: "I want you to send someone to fill up all the excrement in the cesspit, and then find a way to boil it in a large pot, and then reserve it, just like those thorny thorn logs you prepared It's the same as rocks and kerosene."

After the words fell, the middle-aged leader immediately froze, and then quickly reacted and looked at Morgan: "All of them?"

"Yes, and fast."

"Because we don't know when those half-orcs from Essinger will arrive."

Morgan nodded.

Looking at Morgan's serious face, the middle-aged leader Maren nodded immediately, then turned around and strode back.

It has been said so clearly, and several people around have already understood it.

"Master Morgan. Can you really deal with the enemy with boiled excrement?"

At this time, Clive, the quiet young hussar leader beside him, suddenly asked.

He is under Éomer's command, a powerful hussar warrior galloping across the wilderness.

Although he has never defended the city, the method of attacking with excrement like a rolling log that Morgan just said just now makes people feel a little absurd.

"Sure."

"It's disgusting to think about boiled feces juice."

Before Morgan could speak, the dwarf Jinli immediately answered, and shook his head at the end: "Anyone who dares to get that thing on his body, I swear he will be killed!"

"Use boiled dung for those orcs"

"It's really a good idea."

"Those feces are not only stinky but also dirty. If they accidentally get on the wound, the wound must be difficult to treat and deteriorate very quickly."

After thinking about it, Legolas also nodded at this time: "Although this method is not so glorious, and it is somewhat unacceptable."

"But, winning is what matters."

Legolas clearly expressed what everyone was thinking.

"To deal with those evil and damned half-orcs, you don't need to care about the brilliance, as long as you can kill those guys, that's a good way."

Gimli obviously didn't care when he heard what Legolas said behind him, and he immediately answered, "Orcs don't talk to you about that."

Ok.

The young hussar chief hadn't asked Morgan a question yet.

His two friends answered the question perfectly.

Hear the conversation between the two.

The young leader Clive was speechless.

He just didn't change his thinking just now.

At this time, I finally understood.

Clive also hated half-orcs, and naturally agreed with the dwarf in his heart: "There is no need to pay attention to other things to deal with those evil half-orcs, as long as you can kill them, it is a good way.

Morgan continued to walk forward with several people.

Soon, at the corner of the tall and thick solid outer wall, a group of residents were busy washing clothes and other things around the edge of the puddle.

When Morgan stared at the puddle, he immediately saw the edge of the city wall, which was half submerged in the puddle, revealing the drain of the half-meter-high hole.

Immediately, the picture in the memory plot flashed in his mind, and Morgan immediately walked towards the puddle with a few people.

Walking quickly to the puddle, the residents who were followed by armed guards immediately made way for Morgan and his party.

"What's in there?"

Morgan pointed to the spout and asked a little leader behind him.

Like the middle-aged leader who left before, this is the leader who stayed behind at the Horn Fort. This time he was specifically responsible for introducing the situation to Morgan.

"There are bars of forged steel inside."

Hearing Morgan's question, the little leader immediately realized what Morgan wanted to say and immediately continued: "Master Morgan, don't worry, the enemy cannot pass through here."

Of course, if it is a cold weapon, then Saruman's army really cannot enter from here.

But for Saruman, now a white-robed wizard turned industrial titan, anything is possible.

"Block it up, with boulders, as fast as you can."

Morgan didn't bother to explain to the little leader, and directly ordered: "Let me know when you're done."

"Yes, my lord."

The military order is like a mountain, even if the little leader doesn't understand, he has to accept the order immediately, turn around and walk behind.

"Let's go, let's see the strongest wall in Rohan."

As Morgan spoke, he walked up the tall and thick city wall towards the stone ladder beside the puddle.

Time passed slowly.

Morgan lingered on this façade for a long time.

When walking down the city wall.

There is already a hint of white clouds in the eastern sky.

It was already dawn.

Morgan's first night in Helm's Deep.

Essinger's orc army did not appear.

Morgan got down from the city wall and walked towards the inner wall with Legolas and Gimli.

After rushing for several days, the three of them barely rested.

The battle is approaching, and it is necessary to take some time to rest and recharge your spirits at this time.

The three of them walked into the inner city and were about to reach the door of the room.

Eowyn in a long blue dress stood in front of Morgan.

Seeing that the princess of Rohan was here to trouble Morgan, Jinli pulled the worried Legolas in and returned to the room early.

Leaving Morgan alone to face the ugly princess.

at this time.

"Woooo."

The urgent sound of the horn suddenly came from the high platform of the fortress on the Horn Rock in front.

At this moment, Morgan Eowyn's complexion changed.
