Start with Lord of the Rings

Chapter 224 Before Dawn!

Helm's Deep.

In front of the gate of Horn Rock, which is under fierce competition.

"bang"

"bang"

One after another, there was a shuddering and frightening heavy slamming sound on the door.

One after another, the Rohan warriors who used their bodies to block the orcs' attack in front of the gate were easily knocked into the air and damaged, and died heroically.

"Go up!"

"quick!"

The door was broken, and the strong beasts were roaring with excitement.

"Go up, go up!"

"I can't stand it anymore."

"Quick, hold on!"

"Support is coming soon."

"I can't stand it, I tried my best"

Inside the dilapidated gate, the young soldier, who was blocked by a thin wooden plank temporarily, tried his best to say the last sentence in his life at the juncture of his life.

Immediately there was a loud bang of "Boom!"

The young soldier was knocked down half of his body easily by the ferocious and ferocious steel hammer that broke out from the door, and then was knocked high into the air, fell heavily to the ground, and remained motionless.

"Go up!"

"Kill them, leave no one behind!"

The orc leader waved his weapon and shouted at the broken city gate in front of the army.

Seeing that the gate was broken, the orc warrior immediately dropped the giant battering ram he was carrying, and rushed towards the gate of the Horn Fort screaming excitedly.

"whoosh whoosh"

With a terrifying aura of breaking the door, the orcs swarmed into the gate, and crossbow bolts that were thicker and shorter than arrows kept shooting from the hands of the orc warriors in the front.

The Rohan warriors who had no time to retreat were immediately shot and screamed and fell to the ground to die.

For a time, the gate of Fort Goodhorn was in jeopardy.

at this time.

"kill!"

"kill"

With the passionate roar, a large group of heavily armed elite fighters rushed out from the exit of the inner city behind the Horn Rock Fortress.

King Theoden was in front, followed by his guard on both sides.

His Majesty's Royal Guards have always been formed by the most elite fighters of the Rohan Kingdom.

This army has a long tradition and has been fighting beside the king for many years. It is by no means a show.

Following King Theoden and his guards, he rushed out.

The fighters who were constantly being repulsed at the gate and the situation that had taken a turn for the worse immediately eased.

The moment King Theoden took the lead in the charge.

The morale of all the soldiers who could only retreat immediately rose like chicken blood.

"kill!"

Theoden led the guards and a group of soldiers to the gate battlefield that was about to fall.

Inside the stone path behind the Horn Rock Fortress.

Morgan led Legolas, Aragorn and Gimli's four partners and was running towards the gate at a fast pace.

Rohan West.

The north wind was bitter and the snow was flying heavily.

On the vast desolate wilderness.

At this time.

"bang bang bang"

"bang bang bang"

A burst of astonishing rumbling horseshoes rushed over from the distant sky.

Nearly.

closer.

Finally, when this huge team showed its figure, it was a large army of cavalry in full armor.

Although there are a large number of soldiers in the army whose armor is damaged, dirty, and in a bit of a mess.

Obviously, it can be seen from these that this is most likely a force that has just lost a battle.

However, even though they were embarrassed and dirty, the aura of these fighters was not affected at all, and the faces of each fighter were full of fighting spirit and hope.

There are two people at the front of the group of soldiers.

A tall old man with a benevolent face, white beard and white hair, and a pure white robe.

The other was a tall and strong middle-aged man with a red shield on his back and a black horn hanging around his waist.

The white-robed, white-haired, white-bearded old man is naturally Gandalf who has advanced to become a white-robed wizard.

He left Edoras a few days ago, that is, the afternoon of the day Edoras decided to go to Helm Deep, and then came all the way to the west of Rohan.

Here, Gandalf found "Ikenbrand", the lord of Xiluohan (also known as: Westfold).

When Gandalf found Ekenbrand, he had been defeated by the Rohan feud "Black Barbarian" supported by Saruman Essinger.

So Gandalf brought news of Theoden, king of Edoras, and persuasion.

Elkenbrand, lord of West Rohan, quickly agreed with Gandalf's suggestion.

So in the next few days.

Together, Gandalf and Erkenbrand gathered the hussar warriors who were defeated by the black barbarians and the Isinger orcs in Xiluohan.

Because of the urgency of time.

Gandalf and Lord Erkenbrand gathered the scattered warriors all the way and gathered together directly.

Without even having time to recuperate, he headed directly towards the Helm Ravine.

Riding side by side with Gandalf, the tall middle-aged man with a red shield on his back and a black horn on his waist is Ekenbrand, the lord of Silohan.

At this time, this large team was walking on the road to Helm's Deep Valley.

"Gandalf, you say Grima the traitor is forgiven?"

On the horseback of the troops moving fast, Erkenbrand turned his head to look at Gandalf and asked aloud.

"Yes, King Theoden punished him by cutting off his legs, but in the end he let him go."

Gandalf glanced at the lord beside him, and replied.

"Why did His Majesty let him go?"

"Grima clearly committed an unforgivable crime!"

Erkenbrand was obviously dissatisfied with the final outcome of Grima that Gandalf said, so he couldn't help asking again.

"I'm going to ask His Majesty the King about this."

"Maybe he felt that cutting off Grima's leg and letting him go would make him suffer more."

"Perhaps, His Majesty Theoden thinks that he should have a more suitable end for Grima."

Having said that, Gandalf explained flexibly.

"Well, His Majesty the King must have his considerations."

"But if I run into Grima again, I will never let him go."

"If it wasn't for him, how would Siojed die."

"Damn Grima, damn all traitors"

Erkenbrand was extremely angry.

He had reason to be angry, if Grima had not seduced and controlled King Theoden under Saruman's instructions.

Silohan will not be easily defeated.

Theojed, the son of Theoden he had known, would not die either.

The entire Rohan will not be reduced to such a dangerous situation.

Moreover, if Gandalf hadn't found him this time, he would have no idea what happened to Edoras.

Erkenbrand uttered angrily.

Gandalf seemed calm, but his heart was extremely anxious.

Along the way, he and Lord Erkenbrand gathered the defeated soldiers, and hardly saw the strong orcs.

Obviously, all of Essinger's troops were sent to Helm Ravine.

The war between Saruman and Rohan has been waged.

With the strength and strength of Rohan he knows, even if they have a war fortress like the Horn Fort, they may not be able to stop the attack of Isinger's army.

This really worried Gandalf.

But it was useless for him to worry at this time, and he couldn't fly to Helm's Deep all at once.

I can only hope that King Theoden, Morgan, and Legolas will last longer.

Thinking of this, Gandalf exerted a little force on his legs, and the white horse Joyeon under him, known as the "King of Horses" of Rohan, immediately understood what his master meant, and galloped forward at a faster speed.

The leading horse speeded up, and the speed of the following horses was naturally raised.

The entire huge hussar team immediately rushed forward to the dark and distant wilderness.

Fangorn Forest.

South.

The edge of the vast forest that was severely deforested by the "Steel City" Isinger seen from a distance.

"Roar"

Ent Treebeard's angry roar quickly spread throughout the ancient forest behind him.

next moment.

"Roar"

"Roar"

"Roar"

The strange and terrifying roars sounded one after another from the depths of the forest.

The two hobbits, Merry and Pippin, sitting on the tall trunk of Treebeard, immediately lay on Treebeard's shoulders and looked towards the forest behind.

Then, they saw movement in the dark and dense forest behind them.

The trees are shaking, the forest is shaking.

From static to dynamic.

It was as if the entire Fangorn Forest had awakened and revived with the voice of Treebeard.

Accompanied by the resurrection of the forest.

There was also a sound that only belonged to the obscure language communication between the Ents, and the roaring sound continued to resound in the forest.

But Merry and Pippin could not understand Ent at all.

He had no choice but to watch as the Fangorn Forest slowly walked out of the huge and tall tree people beyond his imagination.

"One, two, three 28, 29."

Pippin leaned on Treebeard's shoulder and looked back as hard as he could, and kept counting in a low voice, but it didn't take long for him to stop counting.

Because many of the Ents were similar in appearance and stature, Pippin couldn't see them clearly with only the dim moonlight in the sky.

"Oh my god, that's a lot more than I thought."

Pippin looked at the tall tree men coming out of the forest one by one behind him, and immediately gave up the idea of ​​continuing to count, and couldn't help but sigh.

“It's a lot less now”

Hearing Pippin's words, Treebeard's angry eyes reflected half of the sky from the red flames in the distance, and Isinger, who was always billowing with thick black smoke, looked back, looked at the two hobbits beside him and continued.

"Since the disappearance of Entpo, we have been losing people for various reasons"

Treebeard sighed.

This is also the reason why he didn't want to participate in the war between humans and wizards before.

No Entries.

It has been a long time since the Ent family has seen a little Ent.

The adult and old Ents died one less, and they could not take part in human wars at the risk of genocide.

This was Treebeard's previous thought.

But now, they obviously can't escape.

Saruman has already begun to attack Fangorn Forest.

If you can't take the opportunity to defeat Isinger, defeat Saruman.

Then what awaits them is that the Fangorn Forest, their homeland, has been completely deforested and destroyed.

When the time comes, what awaits them is a dead end, or they will wander far away to other forests.

This is completely unacceptable to Treebeard.

Ents live in a harsh environment, which is different from ordinary forests, and it is not what ordinary forests can provide.

Therefore, it is impossible for them to abandon Fangorn, the ancient forest that has existed since birth, and it is also the hometown where they have lived for countless years.

Therefore, the evil Saruman must be defeated, and Isinger must be destroyed.

"boom"

"boom"

When a tall and huge tree man Ent walked out of Fangorn Forest with heavy steps, he saw the cruel slaughterhouse that had been severely felled and destroyed.

All the Ents were outraged.

"What exactly is going on?"

"Who did it?"

"Saruman, the white-robed wizard Saruman"

"Who is Saruman?"

"White-robed wizard, Lord of Essinger."

"No matter who offends Ent, he must pay for it"

"."

The Ents spoke angrily and discussed loudly.

Merry and Pippin sat high on Treebeard's shoulders, scratching at their hearts to know what these Ents would say when they got together.

However, Treebeard could not care about the two of them at this time.

As the oldest and oldest Ent in Fangorn Forest.

At this time, Treebeard's status among the Ents can be regarded as a leader.

There is a tragic scene of a large number of trees being cut down and slaughtered.

A group of Ents quickly surrounded them.

Treebeard, as the leader and the oldest one, stood in the middle and looked at the Ents around him and began to say, "White-robed wizards have already stood on the opposite side of us."

"Essinger's flames of war are igniting the world"

"Our homeland has been mercilessly felled and slaughtered"

"We cannot just stay silent."

"So, I decided that we should launch a war against Saruman, the sinner who led all this, and Essinger."

"Saruman's army is against the Kingdom of Rohan."

"Essinger is empty, this is our chance, what do you think?"

Treebeard looked at the closest Ents in front of him who were older than the surrounding Ents and asked in a deep voice.

Although Treebeard is considered the leader of Fangorn Forest.

But it is so important, it is a war that concerns the survival of the entire ethnic group.

It must be discussed with several other Ents who are not of low status.

These Ents are also very old. They are the ones who participated in the Ent Conference with Treebeard during the day.

They are the Ents that evolved from the most numerous trees in the Fangorn Forest.

"If you kill the lives of our people, you must pay back with the blood of the enemy."

"I agree."

"I agree."

"Now is really the best time."

"Kill those damn Uruk."

"It's time for us to make our presence felt in this world."

"I agree."

Several Ents successively spoke in agreement.

When the last ent also expressed his support.

It also means that the decision to attack Isengard Saruman has been approved by all Ents in Fangorn Forest.

Execution is close at hand.

"Then, let Isinger, let Saruman, let all the races that despise us feel our anger!"

After Treebeard finished speaking, he turned around and strode forward.

A group of tall Ents behind him followed steadily step by step.

Ahead, thick smoke billowed in the direction of Essinger, and the flames shot into the sky.

Helm's Deep.

In front of the gate of the Horn Fort.

The war situation has reached the most critical moment.

"kill!"

Morgan held the steel shield taken from the orc in one hand, and held a sword in the other to stand at the front of the gate passage.

Behind him, Aragorn struggled to fight with his long sword.

Legolas never stopped pulling the bowstring.

Jin Li kept busy with his two-handed battle axe.

In the passageway of the gate, flesh and blood stumps flew around, and human heads rolled.

Outside the gate, there was a dense army of strong orcs rushing madly.
