"It seems that even the great master Saruman sometimes guesses wrong."
The leader of the strong orcs shook his head. He glanced at the nine super strong orcs behind him, which were twice the size of ordinary strong orcs. After thinking about it, he didn't send them out for the time being. They were the ultimate killer and should be placed on the frontal battlefield.
"Send someone to inform the tree people that their people are being massacred."
The leader of the strong orcs gave sinister instructions, and soon a strong orc would go upstream to report the news.
The tree people are a very united race. After all, a group of single trees want to huddle together for warmth. When they heard that their tribesmen were being slaughtered, they immediately left the battlefield and rushed to the front line.
When the barbarian army saw the tree people leaving, they immediately regrouped. However, their current numbers were far less than before. It was impossible to defeat the Rohan cavalry, and they could only delay them for a while.
After the tree people arrived at the front line, they happened to see Lagolas hit a powder keg with an arrow, causing the tree people to be torn into pieces. Several tree people nearby also burst into flames, and they had to jump into the river to put out the fire.
"Don't hurt our comrades."
The old tree man roared angrily. It even lifted a stone next to it and threw it in front of Lagoras in a demonstration. Pippin said hurriedly: "Hey, that's one of our own."
The old tree man ignored Pippin. This was a matter of principle. Golas was a little confused. Aren't these tree men allies?
King Théoden saw this and shouted: "Treants, as long as they don't attack us, we will not attack them."
"good."
The old tree man nodded, led the tree people, pushed the orcs on the pontoon away arrogantly, and quickly rushed to the other side with the help of the pontoon bridge.
The leader of the orcs signaled the orcs to stay away and not to confront the tree men. Soon, the two groups of tree men met and a fierce battle broke out.
The controlled tree men will naturally not hold back, and will hit them to death every time they attack. This makes the old tree men very passive. After all, they must be merciful. Fortunately, they also have the effect of acceleration.
It's not a big problem for now.
Seeing two groups of tree men fighting together, with most of the tree men entangled with each other, the orc leader smiled ferociously and activated the trump card left by Saruman.
All the enslaved tree people had eyes one after another at the same time. Then, these eyes followed their bodies and connected with other tree people, and then transferred to other tree people.
The tree people screamed in pain and kept shaking their bodies, obviously fighting against the erosion of their eyes. Unfortunately, they lost in the end.
This is normal. This is a trap specially designed by the beholder to deal with the tree people. It has a miraculous effect on the tree people. Soon, all the tree people are controlled by the eyes and become enemies.
Because of the beholder's magic, the accelerating magic on the old tree men and the others disappeared. This is the only good news.
Pippin and Merry fell to the ground while the old tree man was struggling. Before they could recover, all the tree men looked at them with red eyes.
Pippin and Merry couldn't help but swallowed their saliva, got up and tried to escape, but they were surrounded by trees. Where could they escape? They were quickly kicked back by other trees.
"Pippin, Merry!"
Frodo saw this scene from a distance and couldn't help but exclaimed, but he couldn't do anything. The same was true for everyone else. Although Golas kept shooting arrows, it was basically of no use.
At this moment, a figure flashed past Frodo, stepped on the city wall and ran to the ground. Then, he ran to the river and quickly reached the other bank as if he was floating on water.
Then, the figure grabbed the frightened Pippin and Merry and led them to escape from the siege of the tree people. The tree people moved slowly and failed to stop them in time.
Soon, this figure led Pippin and Merry back to Frodo on the city wall. There was no doubt that he was Sam wearing windproof glasses.
Pippin and Merry, with messy hair, and Frodo stared at Sam in shock. Frodo couldn't help but ask: "Sam, how did you change so fast?"
"The power Lord Smaug gave me."
Sam said: "Frodo, with this power, I can protect you from any harm."
"Sam."
Frodo was very moved. With Smaug's personality, he would definitely not give Sam abilities easily. Sam would probably pay a heavy price.
Compared to Frodo, Pippin and Merry wanted to ask Smaug for his abilities. They also wanted to be as powerful as Sam, no, more powerful.
Seeing that Pippin and Merry were rescued, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, the tree people carried the gunpowder barrels and slowly walked towards the pontoon. It was obvious that they were preparing to join the frontal battlefield instead of continuing to blow up the arrow tower.
Seeing this scene, King Théoden and Aragorn's expressions changed. Aragorn gritted his teeth and said: "Boromir, let's go and distract those tree people together. We can't let them enter the frontal battlefield. The castle blocks them.
Can’t stop them.”
"It's just the two of us, isn't it enough?"
Boromir asked: "Speaking of which, where is Smaug? Why hasn't he appeared? His flames can restrain those tree men."
"I'm not so sure either."
Aragorn shook his head. At this moment, a voice sounded in his and Boromir's ears at the same time: "I have already prepared for the tree people's problem and asked Sam to come to your side."
The reason why Andrew did not appear on the battlefield was to prevent the beholder from seeing him. Seeing through magic and seeing with his own eyes were two different things. For the time being, he still had to let the beholder continue to misunderstand.
Aragorn was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately asked Sam to come over. Then, Andrew's voice rang in Sam's ear: "Sam, do you still have the magic scroll I gave you before departure?"
"I'm taking it with me. Always keep it with me."
Sam nodded, and Andrew said: "Very good, you run to the other side of the river and use that scroll. By then, all the trees will be chasing you.
You take them and rush into the orc camp. They will destroy all the enemies in front of you. Don't run too fast, lest they can't catch up. Of course, you can't be careless. Once you find something wrong, run away at full speed.
Also, you must not be caught by the tree man, otherwise, the scene will be very eye-catching."
"Lord Smaug, don't worry, if there is danger, I will definitely run away with all my strength."
Sam nodded repeatedly, and Andrew was a little speechless. Boy, if you talk like this, do you know that you will never get promoted?
"What an honest kid."
Andrew thought to himself, and then he smiled and said: "Okay, go, Sam, if you do it this time, King Theoden may give you a title and let you return home in glory."
"A title? If I have a title, she will definitely be willing to marry me, right?"
Sam was overjoyed. He took a deep breath and ran to the other side of the river using super speed. Then, he took out the scroll that Andrew had given him before and activated it using the method taught by Andrew. The scroll turned into a ray of light and enveloped him.
When the light disappeared, Sam changed drastically, from a hobbit to a treewoman with a past and a future. Yes, a treewoman. Andrew promised that those single trees would go crazy for it.
This is not as simple as a phantom, but a biological magic transformation, a real transformation.
"I turned into a tree man? Well, it seems different from other tree men. Can I really attract the attention of those tree men?"
Sam looked at the reflection in the river and blinked, a little unsure. Then he took a deep breath and shouted to the tree people: "The tree people over there."
Not only did Sam's body change, but his voice also changed. The tree people trembled when they heard his voice. Is this a voice they haven't heard for a long time?
The tree people turned their heads as fast as they could in their lives, and then they saw the tree wife they had dreamed of standing by the river greeting them, and their breathing suddenly became rapid.
"It's a tree wife, a living tree wife."
A tree man shouted excitedly, and then rushed towards the tree wife with all his strength. The other tree men also reacted and ran towards Sam together. All the orcs in the way were forcefully pushed away by them.
The orc leader was frightened and angry when he saw this, and hurriedly used the magic weapon given by Saruman to order all the trees to go to the frontal battlefield.
The eyes of the tree people lit up one after another, and they screamed in pain. It was the magic weapon punishing and commanding them.
This kind of enslavement magic has a strong control, otherwise the old tree people would not be easily controlled. But this time, the control of those eyes failed. No matter how painful the tree people were, they still ran resolutely in the direction of the tree wife.
go.
"Tree wife, tree wife, tree wife..."
The tree people yelled crazily, as long as they can have a tree wife, they would rather die. What is the point of just torture?
Along with the obsession of the tree people, their eyes were broken one after another. However, they did not return to normal and were still in extreme chaos.
"A single tree that's hundreds of years old, do you think it's a joke?"
Andrew picked up the tea cup with a smile on his face. He has been preparing this plan since he learned about the tree wife. The obsession of the single tree can break through any control magic in the world.
Sam was startled by the madness of the tree people. He vaguely understood what Lord Smaug was talking about, and hurriedly turned around and fled in the direction of the orc camp.
"Don't run, Tree Wife, don't run!"
When the tree people saw this, they immediately changed their direction and chased Sam.
The expression of the leader of the strong orcs changed drastically, and he shouted hurriedly: "Stop that guy, don't let him enter our position."
A group of orcs immediately stepped forward to stop Sam, but Sam accelerated around them and continued to rush towards the camp.
"They want to deal with the tree wives, kill them."
When the tree people saw that the orc man wanted to attack the tree wife, they became furious and threw the gunpowder barrels they were carrying at the orc man.
The souls of the strong orcs were rising, and they hurried to avoid them. Unfortunately, their speed was too slow, and the gunpowder barrels fell among them one after another and exploded. For a moment, the broken limbs and broken arms were flying around, and the blood of the strong orcs was everywhere.
As a result, the orc camp was in chaos, and the leader of the orcs was so angry that it was their powder keg. It was really hateful that the tree people were using it to deal with them.
