Start with Lord of the Rings

Chapter 232 End, Freedom!
Essinger.

In front of the Orthanc Tower.

"You've seen it all!"

On the top of the black tower, Saruman held the black crystal ball of true knowledge and looked down at the crowd and said coldly: "The whole world of Middle-earth has been corrupted."

"You know nothing about it, but the Eye knows everything."

"Everything is moving forward steadily in his plan."

"The war is coming soon."

"This world will soon fall into his hands."

"And all of you will die."

"Gandalf, I think you know that well in your heart."

Saruman shouted to Gandalf below, in a dazzling white robe.

Gandalf said nothing.

But it made the surrounding Legolas, Gimli, Merry and Pippin look even more ugly.

"Look, Gandalf knows everything, but he just won't tell you."

As soon as Saruman changed his voice, he immediately looked at the others below and said loudly, "Gandalf has always been selfish, and he will never soften his heart when he sacrifices his companions."

"Tell me, Gandalf, how did you persuade the hobbit to go to the end?"

"The road you let him walk on is simply a dead end!"

Saruman's voice was not loud, but it could clearly resound throughout Isengard.

His voice fell.

The expressions on the faces of the Morgan Aragon expedition team did not change.

But in Gandalf's ears, he still didn't speak, but there was a clear look of pain flashing on his old face.

Yes, of course he knew that Frodo's trip to Modo was extremely dangerous, and it could even be said that he was close to death.

However, he has no choice.

The only way to destroy Sauron is to destroy the Lord of the Rings.

But the horror of the temptation of the Supreme Lord of the Rings made him, as a wizard, dare not touch it at all.

Morgan, who is the most powerful human being, was hit by a touch.

Also dare not touch again.

In this regard, Lord Elrond of Rivendell has nothing to do.

Even Lady Galadriel, the most powerful elf in Middle-earth now, can't do anything about it.

Except for the Hobbit Frodo who has withstood the test of the Lord of the Rings to take the Lord of the Rings to Modo for destruction.

Other than that, there is no other way.

The destruction of the Supreme Lord of the Rings is a serious test of the life and death of the entire Middle-earth world.

Gandalf feels sorry for Frodo the Ring-bearer.

But he didn't think he was wrong.

Going to Modo is extremely dangerous but it doesn't mean you will definitely die.

Besides, Frodo was a hobbit.

Heir to Bilbo Baggins.

Halflings have always been good at performing miracles, especially the Baggins family, and maybe this time they can.

All kinds of things quickly flashed through my mind.

Gandalf looked up at Saruman who was about to speak.

Suddenly, a loud noise came from behind.

Everyone immediately turned their heads, and saw a large group of figures on horseback at the entrance of the circular water square, covered in black robes and black hoods, walking towards the direction of the Orthanc Stone Tower.

The uninvited guest who suddenly appeared immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the field.

"what happened?"

"What happened to those people?"

"who are they?"

The curious dwarf Gimli immediately expressed his doubts when he saw the large team approaching.

"do not know."

"However, I think we should find out soon."

Legolas also noticed the black-robed team that suddenly appeared and kept approaching, and said casually.

"who are they?"

"Will it be the enemy?"

The black horse Carrot was on the back, and the hobbit Merry behind him looked at the black-robed team that was approaching in the distance and also asked aloud.

"do not know."

"Maybe, maybe not"

Morgan looked calmly at the cavaliers approaching in the distance and spoke.

Everyone under the Orthanc Stone Tower paid attention to the uninvited guest who suddenly appeared.

Above the stone tower, Saruman also noticed the sudden crowd.

"Is it possible that it is Modo's team?"

Such an idea suddenly popped up in Saruman's mind.

Right in front of the stone tower, all eyes were on the approaching team.

At this time.

Morgan suddenly noticed the strange expression on Aragorn's face beside him.

Before he had time to ask.

He and a group of people saw that Aragorn rode up quickly to meet him.

"Hal Ballard"

Aragorn stepped forward with a happy face, and said in surprise when he saw the tall figure leading the team approaching.

"Lord Aragorn"

Facing Aragorn, who was approaching against the horse, the leader, the black robe, immediately bowed his head and saluted to show respect.

"Aren't you on the Shire border?"

"How did you come?"

"And them."

Aragorn looked at the leading man with a happy face and asked again and again, and then his eyes turned to the black-robed team approaching forward.

"Lord Aragorn"

"Master Patriarch."

"Lord Aragorn"

A large group of black-robed knights shouted and saluted Aragorn.

Only then did Aragorn realize that these people in front of him were all fighters of his own clan.

Aragorn could clearly recognize every clansman in front of him.

Every clansman naturally recognizes Aragorn, the "patriarch" of their Dunedain clan.

Yes.

The group of black-robed warriors in front of them are all Aragon's clansmen.

The leading "Hal Barad" was originally a powerful and capable subordinate under Aragorn's command.

"Aragorn"

At this time, a voice came from behind the black-robed crowd.

At the same time, two tall figures rode out from the crowd behind them.

Aragorn turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw two figures taking off the black robes on their heads one after another, revealing long gray hair and handsome faces.

"Elladan, Elohir"

"Why are you two here?"

Aragorn was even more pleasantly surprised to meet his own clansmen who came to help him one after another, as well as these two twin brothers.

The two handsome elves "El Ladan" and "Elohir" with similar looks in front of them are the twin sons of Eldron, the lord of Rivendell.

After the death of his father Arathorn, Aragorn was taken to the valley to grow up.

Aragorn, who was adopted by Eldron and took the new name "Esther", called the two elder brothers in front of him without exaggeration.

Soon, Aragorn and the clansman Hal Barad and the twin brothers Elladan and Elohir had a brief chat, and they knew their intentions.

Halbala got here because he heard a message from Mrs. Roselorian Galadriel.

In a hurry, these tribesmen could only be called temporarily to support the patriarch.

As for "El Ladan" and "Elohir", they have other tasks.

"Here, this is what Arwen asked me to give to you"

El Ladan took out a delicate small package from the package on horseback as he spoke.

Aragorn took the package, time was urgent, he didn't open it right away.

"And this letter"

El Ladan took out the envelope again, and Aragorn took it and put it away like a package.

Seeing that Aragorn acted eagerly, the surrounding situation was a little strange.

El Ladan glanced at his brother Elohir, but said nothing.

Aragorn quickly introduced the three of them.

The complexions of several people changed immediately.

They all realized the seriousness of the matter in front of them.

Soon, Aragorn brought this large group of warriors before Morgan Gandalf and his party.

After a brief introduction.

The strength of the entire team immediately became stronger.

When the eyes of everyone in front of the stone tower returned to the white-robed wizard at the top of the Orthanc stone tower.

Saruman looked at the larger team below with an ugly expression.

This time, his eyes aimed at the other human "Aragorn" below.

"Gandalf, I know, your hope is on him."

"But the vagrant must not try to ascend the throne of Gondor."

"Let alone this furtive wanderer hiding in the shadows."

"If you want to be crowned king, you are delusional!"

Saruman's cold mocking voice echoed throughout Isengard.

It's just that Morgan Gandalf and the others have seen that Saruman's mouth is like a poisonous snake. .

But some of the Dunedain warriors who had just found their patriarch immediately couldn't bear Saruman's mocking of Aragorn.

One of the Dunedan warriors immediately raised his bow and shot an arrow at the white-robed figure above.

"whoosh"

The arrow whizzed out with the sound of piercing the air.

In an instant, Saruman was in front of him.

Everyone saw that Saruman waved the staff in his hand, and the swiftly flying arrows immediately exploded on the spot.

The arrow fragments quickly scattered and disappeared into the sky.

The people below who saw this scene with their own eyes were shocked.

Only then did he think of the power of the wizard in the legend.

"Why, was it hit?"

"Feeling angry?"

Saruman continued to sneer coldly.

Below the stone tower, Gandalf finally drove the white horse Victory to come forward, stood closer to the bottom of the stone tower, looked at the figure above and said, "Come down, Saruman, we will spare you."

"To shut up!"

Saruman interrupted Gandalf roughly, and said angrily, "Spare your false kindness!"

"I don't think I've lost!"

Saruman, who realized that he was insulted by Gandalf, shouted angrily, and waved his staff again.

"call"

A huge bright yellow fireball instantly shot out from Saruman's staff, and flew towards Gandalf below.

"bang"

The fireball is extremely fast.

Amidst the exclamation of the people behind, the fire ball slammed into Gandalf who hadn't dodged and burned crazily.

At this moment, the complexions of all the people behind changed.

The little hobbits, Pippin and Merry, paled and were about to say something.

Morgan immediately said, "Trust Gandalf!"

That's what Morgan said.

Everyone who was about to speak out shut up.

At this time, the huge bright yellow fireball surrounding Gandalf quickly dispersed and disappeared.

Gandalf, who was dressed in a white robe and beard, and was riding a pure white shadow, appeared in front of everyone without any injuries.

This time, the eyes-opened people behind were somewhat aware of the wizard's powerful ability, and they also understood it to a certain extent.

But Gandalf is not one who just takes a beating and doesn't fight back.

The surrounding flames dissipated, and Gandalf immediately looked up at the corners of Saruman's mouth squirming, and finally said in a cold voice: "Staff, shatter!"

The moment the words are over.

"boom"

There was a muffled sound.

On the rooftop at the top of the Orthanc Stone Tower, the black staff that Saruman held tightly in his hand exploded suddenly.

Saruman's body swayed, and he took several steps back before standing still, looking at the empty hands, and then at Gandalf in white robe and white horse below.

Only then did I realize that I should have treated the other party as a wizard of the same level long ago.

"Damn."

Saruman's face quickly turned angry.

At this time, "Ning Tongue" Grima, who was dressed in a black robe and had an unusually pale complexion, appeared beside Saruman.

The instant he saw Grima.

Down below, Éomer's eyes lit up immediately after he had received an explanation from his uncle Theoden, and he shouted loudly, "Grima, I brought the words of His Majesty the King."

Hearing this voice, Grima immediately stopped and looked towards Éomer.

"As long as you leave Isengard and stop following Saruman."

"Your Majesty can forgive you, and you can leave here and Rohan freely!"

Éomer shouted to Shanggrima.

Since receiving the news of the disastrous defeat of Helm's Deep Valley army, Grima, who has been at the end of his rope and surrounded by great pressure and danger, can be described as in a panic.

At this time, knowing that King Theoden could pardon him, Grima's originally pale and despairing face seemed to have a tinge of blood immediately.

But a voice followed immediately shattered Grima's illusion.

"free?"

Hearing the voice from below, Saruman roared ferociously: "He will never be free!"

"No"

Grima, who was bent over by the side, heard Saruman's roar, and immediately trembled and shook his head.

Saruman, who lost his hand against Gandalf and accidentally destroyed his staff, was filled with infinite anger.

Hearing that Grima, who was like a slave beside him, dared to say "no" to himself.

The furious Saruman suddenly turned his head, looked at Grima and shouted coldly: "Stand back!"

It was rare for Grima to have "ambition" in front of Saruman, and he still stood where he was, looking pitifully at Saruman whom he had served for many years.

I only hope that the other party can spare me a way out at this moment.

But
"roll"

Saruman shouted sharply, and suddenly slapped Grima with his backhand, throwing him directly to the ground.

"Saruman, I know you know a lot about Modo, tell me what you know!"

Gandalf's voice came again.

Grima, who didn't even want to look at Saruman, struggled to stand up, his extremely angry face was viciously twisted at this moment.

"Want me to tell you?"

"Okay, you first remove all the guards around you."

Saruman looked at Gandalf below with a sneer and said.

at this time.

Saruman suddenly felt his body being hugged from behind, and then, a stench of horses rushed into his mouth and nose.

At this moment, Saruman was furious.

But before he had time to get angry, he felt a burst of incomparably severe pain from his back.

"Kill you!"

"I am going to kill you!"

"Kill you and I will be free!"

Hysterical roars continued to emanate from Grima's distorted face.

Saruman, whose back was quickly pierced into a sieve, felt unprecedented powerlessness and pain for the first time in his life.

Then, for the first time, he saw darkness, endless darkness, eternal darkness.

"call"

Standing on the edge of the top of the tower, Saruman's body inevitably fell from the tower of Orthanc.

Grima was lucky enough to escape Legolas' arrow in his haste.

The free-falling body of Saruman fell off the stone tower, and his head happened to hit a boulder protruding from the water.

"boom"

Like a ripe watermelon dropped from a five-story building in summer, it exploded, red, white, yellow, brains of various colors splashed all over the surrounding people in an instant.

Morgan carefully reached out his hand to wipe off the white paste from the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help saying, "Fuck!"

after one day.

The two teams left Essinger.

A team headed by Gandalf, accompanied by Eomer, Merry, Pippin and dozens of Rohan hussars went straight to Helm Deep Valley.

The other team led by Aragorn, Morgan, Legolas, Gimli and other expedition team members headed straight to another road and galloped towards the vast wilderness.
