the end of the heavens

Gandalf's words were agreed by all members of the Fellowship of the Ring team, who nodded in agreement.

The hardships of this journey cannot be described in words. They almost died on the edge of the cauldron several times. If they did not rely on their strong will to support them, they would not have survived at all.

At this time, Grima found the staff in Gandalf's hand, and was shocked and ordered the guards to take the Guardians of the Ring down.In the main hall, only his lackeys moved. The other generals of Rohan turned a deaf ear to them and sat upright, counting the ants on the ground.

There are ants in the palace?

Stupid, without ants, wouldn't you imagine ants?

"Theoden, you have lived in the shadows for too long, I will free you from the curse..."

Gandalf's body was rippling with strong magic power, the staff glowed with white light, and the entire palace hall was shrouded in white.

"Hmph, Gandalf the Gray? Gandalf the White?"

Theoden raised his head slowly, his eyes were full of hatred, and he made a hoarse and low voice: "Gandalf the idiot is right, do you think that if you change into white, you are really white?"

"Saruman!"

Gandalf frowned, secretly thinking that he was indeed the man he was optimistic about, and was worried that he could not correct Saruman's evil deeds, so he revealed himself.But he was a mature Maier, even though he was ecstatic in his heart, he didn't show it. He looked upright and strengthened the spell of lighting to drive away Saruman.

"It's Saruman the white robe, remember this prefix clearly, only I am the white robe." Sitting firmly on the throne, Theoden sneered, "It's useless, Gandalf, if I leave, Theoden will die immediately. "

"No, fate is no longer under your control..." Gandalf replied with deep meaning, and the light around him was shining brightly, forcing Saruman's will out of Theoden's body bit by bit.

This was the first confrontation between Gandalf and Saruman after he was promoted to the white robe. Gandalf was afraid that he would kill Theoden with too much force, but Saruman could not use his full strength through remote control. A narrow margin wins.

Saruman lost the favor of his superiors, and his defeat was a foregone conclusion. He became angry and used his last bit of strength to put down his harsh words: "Gandalf, the kingdom of Rohan is mine, let's wait and see!"

Knowing that he couldn't defeat Gandalf, Saruman took the initiative to withdraw the spell, but at the last second of the spell's cancellation, Gandalf's staff hit Theoden's head heavily.The magic power exploded, shattering the weak spell, and even hitting Saruman with a stick.

This scene looks a lot like Gandalf's intentional revenge on Saruman, but he is a mature Maia, and he would not be so unwise. This stick was requested by the superiors, and it was definitely not a public report.

"Gandalf, is that you?"

Saruman's will was driven away, and Theoden woke up slowly, his face looked better, although he was still weak, but his strength was slowly recovering.

On the side, the master was beaten away by Gandalf, and the dog-legged Grima fell to his knees trembling, begging Theoden to spare his life.

There was no one in the hall to intercede for him except Aragorn, for Rohan had shed too much blood, and it was time to end the tyranny.

Gandalf quietly watched Grima leave, and told him rationally that Grima would leak a lot of information when he returned to Saruman.But he is a mature Maia, and Theoden chooses to let Grima go, he cannot interfere in the internal affairs of Rohan.

Ever since, Gandalf gave Russell a look, and the latter understood instantly, and disappeared into the kingdom hall under the pretext of hush.

"I hope Russell won't get it wrong. I didn't intend to kill Grima. I just want to imprison him and let him go after this battle is over." Gandalf sighed. If Grima died, it must be Russell's. wrong.

After a long while, Russell returned to the hall humming a little tune, and said to Gandalf, "Don't worry, I understand what you mean, I didn't kill Grima, I just imprisoned him."

Gandalf: "..."

"what happened?"

"Prison... imprison well! That's exactly what I mean!" Gandalf coughed lightly: "Russell, where did you imprison him?"

"On the grassland, I imprisoned his head and let his body leave with the horse!"

Gandalf: "..."

Aragorn is right, you must have half-orc blood, otherwise, I wouldn't want to beat you up so much!

Chapter 378 Russell, Can I Trust You?

"Eomer, pass on my order, blow the horn of war, and the Kingdom of Rohan officially declares war on Isengard!" Theoden regained his life and turned back to the hussar who used to be "reckless without saying anything" king.

"My lord, the king's warriors will respect your orders!" Eomer bowed.

"and also……"

Theoden paused, his majestic face softened, and he said with relief, "Eomer, you have not let me down, you have allowed my blood to continue."

"No, I didn't do anything, it's all thanks to Gandalf." Éomer shook his head slightly.

Theoden smiled and didn't say much, and told Éomer to convey the order as soon as possible. He would fight the orc army to the death in Helm's Deep.

It was indeed a battle to the death. The terrain of Helm's Deep was dangerous, and there was no way out once it was surrounded. However, the Horn Fort of Helm's Deep was the strongest fortress in the Kingdom of Rohan, and it was the only place that could resist the orc army.

Theoden had no choice, and the Strongsignal will save Rohan again, just like in history!

In the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Theoden refused to declare war on Isinger, and led his people to migrate to Helm's Deep, in fact, to avoid fighting.Theoden tried in vain to use the strong city wall to force Isinger's army to retreat without a fight. He didn't start to fight back desperately until the orc army broke through the Horn Fortress.

This time is different. Russell's butterfly wings changed Theoden's decision. Although the troops were still assembled in Helm's Deep, the meaning was completely different.

Russell didn't do anything deliberately, and the Fellowship of the Ring inadvertently rescued Theoden's son, allowing his blood to continue.

This is very important!

It directly changed Theoden's views on war. With a son, he could not escape. For the people of Rohan and for the dominance of the royal family, he had to fight to the death.

Theoden was indeed prepared to die in battle. The time he was under control was like a nightmare, and he made many stupid decisions, which weakened Rohan's national strength.

Grima is just a jester, not enough to bear this big pot. In order to appease the resentment of the people, he must die in battle, or at least be seriously injured.

His son Xiyoud is brave and good at fighting, and his nephew Iomer is dedicated to the public. The two are brothers and sisters, enough to carry the future of the country.

With these two outstanding successors, let me ask Theoden what else to worry about. It's time for him to dedicate himself and fight for the dominance of the royal family for the last time!

……

Kidney... ahem, Helm's Deep!

Holy Helm's Deep is a large valley located in the northwest of the White Mountains. It is blocked by a series of hills called Holy Helm Canal. Behind the hill is the fortress Horn Fort, the only barrier to stop Isinger.

"That is the Horn Fort, Rohan's strongest shield, but all battles defending this place have not been defeated!" Aragorn recalled, Helm's Deep was originally the territory of the Gondorians, and was later assigned to the younger brother Rohan.

Russell heard the words and looked at the castle in the middle of the canyon. The valley was surrounded by mountains on three sides and surrounded by mountains. There was an underground channel leading into the river to provide water supplies for the defenders in the castle who had been fighting for a long time.

If I remember correctly, in the battle of Helm's Deep, the Rohanites, like the Spartan warriors, fought against the 300 orc army with 10000 defenders, and won a glorious victory by relying on their bravery.

But this time, Theoden had plenty of time to gather his troops. The defenders of Horn Fort surged to 2000, and another 2000 cavalry were on their way on horseback.

At that time, let the orc army enter the valley and encircle them on both sides, and a single charge can take away the victory.

"How is it, Russell, how is this castle?" Gandalf slowly steered the horse and asked softly.
