Saruman wanted to catch up, but he hesitated and stopped. He was not afraid of Gandalf, but if Gandalf and the fire dragon teamed up, he might not be able to win.
"Continue to search for tree people. I want all tree people to become my slaves."
Saruman shouted: "Then, let those tree men cut down the trees and create more orcs. Didn't they say that I was deforestation and destroying the forest? Then let them do this."
"Yes, the great evil master, Saruman."
The strong orcs shouted one after another, and Saruman laughed. One day, he will follow Sauron and conquer the world.
"From now on, I am no longer Saruman the White, I am Saruman the Color."
Saruman shouted, with his arrogance, he naturally disdains to be on the same level as others, he is Saruman.
…
Deep in Fangorn Forest, Andrew, Gandalf and the tree people who escaped before met.
The old tree man said to Andrew: "Smaug, thank you for your help, and even more grateful for your mercy and not burning down Fangorn Forest with fire."
"Even if I show mercy, Fangorn Forest will not be saved, for it will be burned by Saruman."
Andrew wasted no time and said: "Treants, it's time to resist, otherwise, you will only become Saruman's fuel."
"We will gather all the tree people to discuss what to do."
The old tree man said, and Andrew complained: "People are knocking on the door, and you still want to discuss it?"
"This is the rule."
The old tree man said, and Andrew was speechless. Gandalf sighed and said: "They are a group of stubborn people, originally, and even more so after the female Ent disappeared."
Andrew's heart moved and he asked: "Ent Gandalf, tell me about this."
"Ents are tree people. Tree people are divided into male and female. They need to combine with each other to give birth to offspring."
Gandalf said: "A long time ago, all the tree wives suddenly disappeared, leaving behind this group of lonely and stubborn tree people. They have only two purposes of survival: to protect the forest and to find the tree wives."
"It turned out to be a group of single trees."
Andrew's eyes flashed slightly. He thought for a while and went to pick up Pippin and Merry. Gandalf was very surprised when he saw the two of them: "Smaug, what are you doing? Why did you bring them here? Besides causing trouble, what else can they do?
?”
"Gandalf, are you really not dead?"
Pippin and Merry, who were confused and yawning at first, were overjoyed when they saw Gandalf and rushed over to him cheering.
Gandalf felt warm in his heart and hugged the two little guys. Then, he turned to look at Andrew. He didn't understand why the dragon brought two weak hobbits to the battlefield. He couldn't be a cook, right?
"It's Lord Yin Oumo's request."
Andrew immediately threw the blame away, and Gandalf snorted coldly and said: "It's that guy again, I haven't settled the score with him yet."
"What's the deal? Aren't you doing well now?"
Andrew said: "Without Mr. Yin Oumo, where did you get the white robe to wear? When you look at the material, you can tell that this white robe is much better than the gray robe. Where did you buy it?"
"Of course the material is good, it won't be dirty."
Gandalf was a little proud, and then he reacted and said angrily: "What do you mean bought? It was given to me by the God of Creation. Also, do you call what Yin Oumo did help? Then I will be happy to help you next time.
you."
"If you can do it."
Andrew shrugged and said: "Don't waste time, Pippin, Merry, you follow the tree people to find other tree people. Gandalf, you also follow them to ensure that the tree people participate in the battle."
The old tree man said from the side: "This needs to be discussed."
Neither Andrew nor Gandalf paid attention to the old tree man. Gandalf let go of the two hobbits and walked over to Andrew and asked in a low voice: "It's okay for me to go to the tree man. Why are the two hobbits?"
Want to go?"
"Master Yin Oumo said that they are the key."
Andrew said, and Gandalf cursed in displeasure: "Mysterious."
"Come on, don't you yourself make up mysteries every day? You old guys all have this problem."
Andrew had a look of contempt on his face. Gandalf wanted to refute, but then he remembered something and shook his head guiltily. He had been making excuses many times.
"Saruman's army has gathered and may attack Rohan at any time. Is there any problem with Rohan?"
Gandalf asked, and Andrew said: "No problem, King Theoden woke up early and has been mobilizing his troops. If nothing else, Prince Jed has already led his army to the front line.
In addition, Lord Yin Oumo and I, as well as the escort team, will go to Rohan to help fight."
"Are you all going?"
Gandalf was stunned: "What about destroying the Lord of the Rings?"
"Do you really think we can destroy the Supreme Lord of the Rings silently?"
Andrew sneered: "Lord Yin Oumo's plan is to first deal with Saruman in Rohan, and then combine the power of Gondor, Rohan, elves, and dwarves to attack Mordor.
At that time, the army will contain the armies of Sauron and Mordor, and at the same time, send a small team with the Supreme Lord of the Rings to sneak into Mount Doom quietly."
"This is a good plan."
Gandalf said: "The problem is that the elves are going to the overseas fairyland, and the dwarves are hiding in the mountains and refuse to come out. There are simply not enough troops to threaten Mordor."
"As for the dwarves, Lord Yin Oumo asked Jin Pei to go back and persuade him. It should have some effect."
Andrew said: "As for the elves, I hit it off with the Elf Queen Galadriel. She agreed to stay for me and helped persuade the other two Elf Kings."
Gandalf looked at Andrew in confusion, and then he sneered: "You and the Elf Queen hit it off right away? Did she stay for you? Oh, Smaug, I didn't expect you to be a fire dragon. It's quite a beautiful idea."
"I know you are sad, but what I said is true. My condolences."
Andrew patted Gandalf on the shoulder and said, Gandalf looked disdainful, why should I be sad, why should I mourn, as if you are already on good terms with the Elf Queen?
This is impossible. Even I can't pry the corner of the wall, how can you possibly pry it?
"Believe it or not, it's your business. In short, elves and dwarves will join the war."
Andrew said: "Okay, I'm going back to the Golden Forest. Galadriel is still waiting for me to drink tea. She specially asked me to save you, so she owes me a favor."
"Tea, favor?"
Gandalf snorted. He didn't believe that the Elf Queen would fall in love with this greedy fire dragon. Then he sighed a little. He was dressed in white robes but had no chance to show off in front of Galadriel. It was really depressing.
Gandalf wanted to ask more questions, but at this moment, Andrew took out a gold ring and threw it to him. He caught it subconsciously, and was so shocked that he almost threw the ring away. It was the Supreme Lord of the Rings.
"Is that bastard Yin Oumo mentally ill? He actually put the Supreme Lord of the Rings on you?"
Gandalf said angrily: "Hey, wait, you actually threw the Supreme Lord of the Rings to me? Are you sick too?"
"You have the disease."
Andrew rolled his eyes and said: "Look carefully, with your ability, you should be able to see some clues."
After saying that, before Gandalf could say anything else, Andrew transformed into the form of a fire dragon and flew towards the golden forest.
"Clues?"
Gandalf was stunned, holding the Supreme Lord of the Rings and carefully sensing it. After a moment, he frowned. Although the ring did have the aura of Sauron, it did not have the evil charm that made people sink. It was just that the aura was similar.
"Is this fake?"
Gandalf suddenly understood why Yin Oumo gave the ring to the fire dragon, and why the fire dragon threw the ring to him.
"It's interesting. Maybe it can really trick someone." Gandalf thought for a while and carefully put the ring away.
"Gandalf, what shall we do next?"
Seeing that the two of them had finally finished talking, Pippin asked excitedly. Although he didn't know what the situation was, he was very happy that he could be of help.
"The next thing you have to do is not to cause trouble."
Gandalf said angrily, and then he took two hobbits and a group of tree people to the depths of the forest for a meeting. No matter what, these tree people must be allowed to join the war.
…
In Rivendell, Elf King Elrond received a message from Galadriel. Although Galadriel didn't make it clear, King Elrond hesitated and decided to believe her.
Galadriel's reputation is really very good, and this matter involves Aragorn, and King Elrond cannot let go.
"Then let's fight again. I could win before, and I can win now. However, this time, the Supreme Lord of the Rings must be destroyed."
King Elrond thought secretly, and then he asked the army to start gathering. At the same time, he went to the forge to check whether the holy sword was forged.
On the other side, Thranduil, the elf king of the Woodland Kingdom, thought for a while and was only going to send an escort team to help Goras.
It's not that Thranduil doesn't believe in Galadriel, but that he can't send too many troops, and the Woodland Kingdom also has its own enemies to deal with.
Thranduil shook his head secretly: "In these troubled times, when will there be real peace?"
Compared with the situation on the elves' side, Golden Bolt's side was very unsatisfactory. The dwarves did not want to leave the Lonely Mountain, let alone be teammates with Smaug.
In fact, when they heard that Smaug was resurrected, the dwarves frantically crafted weapons, waiting for Smaug to come and fight him desperately. Under such circumstances, how could they leave the Lonely Mountain and fight for Smaug?
Seeing this, Jin Boli could only say what Andrew had confessed before: "Smaug asked the Elf Queen Galadriel to guarantee that as long as the dwarves are willing to send troops, she will never seek the treasure of the Lonely Mountain again, and will never give up what originally belonged to it.
All treasures.”
"Nothing in Gushan belongs to it. All the treasures were stolen from us dwarves."
The King of the Lonely Mountain was very angry, but to be honest, they were quite moved by Smaug's promise. Although they said every day that they were not afraid of Smaug, who could really not be afraid?
