the end of the heavens

Outside the hall, the messenger rushed in without waiting for Theoden to respond.

"Your Majesty, come here to report, and Isinger's army is coming out..." The orderly said this, his hands were shaking: "The number of enemies is as many as 3!"

"3 million!?"

Theoden stood up abruptly, with disbelief all over his face: "Impossible, there can't be 3 orcs in the Orc Legion, and Essinger can't afford to support so many soldiers."

In the hall, Aragorn and others turned pale. With 3 orc soldiers, Saruman can conquer Middle-earth by himself without Mordor, but... 3 is too much, Isengard is just a The fortress is not a country, so how can it have such a big arm?

Not only Aragorn and others don't believe it, but Russell also doesn't believe it. Although he knows little about Middle-earth, the aspect of logistics is common in any world.

Essinger can't afford 3 mouths, and Saruman can't afford to sell the Mage Tower!

"Among the 3 army, only half of Essinger's orcs are half-orcs, and the rest are half-orcs. When I explored the horse, I saw a ring spirit riding a flying dragon..." The orderly swallowed his saliva, and said with difficulty: "Our enemies are more than It's Isengard, and Mordor."

Theoden almost fell down as if struck by lightning, Aragorn asked aloud: "Is it wrong, the power of Mordor is far in the east, and the half-orcs are blocked in the Palennor Plain, there is no reason to suddenly appear behind us? "

The messenger didn't know either, he just recounted the information sent back by the scout horse.

"It doesn't matter if it's the half-orcs of Mordor. The number of enemies far exceeds ours, so we can't sit still..." Theoden regained his momentum and ordered: "Let the cavalry on the grassland evacuate and avoid contact with Isengard's army. Use surprise tactics when necessary."

"Yes, Your Majesty the King!"

"Conscript the people in the city to fight, let women and children take refuge in caves, and others go to the arsenal to get equipment. This battle is related to the survival of Rohan, and no one can escape." Theoden issued the second order.

"Yes, Your Majesty the King!"

"Mobilize the militia, and before the enemy arrives, cut down more logs and come back, which will be useful when defending the city..." Having said this, Theoden turned to look at Russell: "Wizard Russell, did Gandalf say, When will he arrive with reinforcements?"

Russell was silent for a while, and said to Theoden: "Your Majesty, Gandalf will arrive at the last moment."

Xio Dun was taken aback for a moment, then reacted with a wry smile: "At the last moment, I really hope it's earlier..."

Theoden understood what Russell meant. The so-called last moment was when the Horn Fort was about to be breached, and reinforcements arrived to boost the morale of the soldiers defending the city.

But this trick can only be used once!

Chapter 3 Eighty Radius of Death

Fort Horn!

Theoden sat on the tower in the inner courtyard of the fortress, and the rest of the generals led the army to guard the Wall of the Deep Stream. Both Aragorn and Éomer commanded here, because this was the section of the wall most likely to be breached.

The black clouds were overwhelming, and it was already late at night. Legolas and Gimli stood beside Russell, waiting for the war to come.

"The human city walls are not very friendly to us dwarves. I can't see anything." Gimli complained depressedly. The city walls were just as high as his head, and he couldn't see outside the city even if he tiptoed.

"Isn't this great? The enemy thought there was no defender here, but when they charged up, they were knocked down by you with an axe. They didn't even know how they died." Russell glanced at Jinli and said with a smile.

"That's right, being short also has its advantages. Half-orc bows and arrows can't hit you." Legolas followed suit.

What kind of team leader there is, naturally there will be what kind of team members. Gandalf, the spiritual leader of the Fellowship of the Rings team, and Russell, the chef of the three meals, are in charge of the spirit and body of the team inside and out.

Under the influence of the two, the team members are much more active than in the original book, tearing off the disguise of mensao, and becoming superficially saucy, at least the effort to hurt people is much more severe than before.

Russell thinks it's good, it's just a ring, it's not the end of the world, why are you so serious!

……

Time passed slowly, the wildfire in the valley ahead was bright, and Isinger's army had arrived.

The soldiers guarding the city could clearly see that the orc army held torches and lined up in a square array, marching silently.

Boom!Boom!Boom!Bang————

The sound of footsteps was like thunder, and all the soldiers guarding the city felt their scalps go numb, and everything in the valley below was like a nightmare.

There are dense black figures, all tall, short, fat and thin, wearing helmets and armor, and holding black shields.Thousands of enemies continued to walk into the valley, and black waves rolled in, slapping on the cliffs on both sides in the near distance, and stretching endlessly in the distance.

Russell frowned. Gandalf was right. The coalition forces of Isengard and Mordor were overwhelming, but the 200 handsome elves did not appear, and the elves chose to ignore them.

【Ding】

[The host contacts the plot character Dunlander cannon fodder, which triggers the lottery. Do you want to draw now? 】

"Legolas, do you know what Dunlanders are?" Russell asked. It was incredible that there were still humans in the army of orcs and orcs.

"The Dunlanders are mountain people, warlike and predatory, they like to get something for nothing, and they are not tolerated by Rohan and Gondor." Legolas explained.

"It's a robber!"

"That's right, why did you ask this all of a sudden?" Legolas was puzzled.

"Among the 3 army, there are Dunlanders, and they have taken refuge in Isinger." Russell said.

"Tch, damned scum, I expect them to be the rations of the orcs!" Jinli raised his head, spit and leaped over the city wall and fell down.

Boom! ! !

A thunder flashed across the sky, and the dazzling white light illuminated the darkness for an instant, and one could see the tip of the iceberg of the huge army in the distance.

Like a black river, the pitch-black color is desperate, and it seems that it is much more than the number of 3!

On the city wall, the defenders of Rohan held their swords nervously. Only 2 of them were regular soldiers, and the rest were temporarily armed civilians.

Farmers, blacksmiths, and stable boys are not only occupations that cannot be linked to soldiers, but also ages are far from qualified. There are old people with gray hair and children who are about the same height as Jinli.They spontaneously responded to the call, holding blunt weapons and even agricultural tools, not for glory or wealth, but only for the lives of themselves and their families.

Fight to survive!

Courage is commendable, but they have not received formal training, facing the arrogance of the Isinger coalition forces, all of them are desperate and frightened at this moment.

There is nothing to blame, even if the two experienced elites, Legolas and Gimli, have sweaty palms, they can already be called heroes if they can stand here.

rumbling————

Lightning rolled in the black clouds, and the torrential rain fell in the valley, extinguishing the torches of the Isinger coalition forces, and darkness enveloped the earth, making the air more dignified.

The majestic Horn Fort is crumbling under the storm at this moment, like a swaying boat, which will capsize at any time, and the black torrent that engulfs the small boat is the advancing Isinger coalition forces below.

The thunderous footsteps overwhelmed the storm, and even the thunder in the sky was a little weaker at the moment.

Russell glanced at the rustling old man behind him, and handed over the shield in his hand. There was only so much equipment, and there were very few militiamen assigned to the shield.

Furthermore, a shield is also a militia, whether it is for the elderly or the middle-aged, it seems that there is no choice.

The cruelty of war can be seen everywhere!

The old man took Russell's shield and hurriedly thanked him. Then he turned around and handed the shield to the young man beside him in exchange for a wooden plank.
