Chapter 703: We are all mages, who cant use a sword?
Even though the two people's spells seemed to work intermittently when facing ordinary people, when two people fought together, their aura was different.
While the sword was being swung, the staff in his hand was still releasing spells on the opponent.
Gandalf swung the Holy Light spell at Saruman like a ball of light. Saruman raised his black staff and responded with black lightning.
"Boom"
The fierce collision knocked the approaching orcs and cavalry away. Within a radius of thirty meters, they were the only ones still fighting.
Gandalf's swordsmanship was superb, and every time he had a break in spells, he could swing decisive and sharp attacks, forcing Saruman to dodge.
But Saruman was not weak either. Compared with the sharpness of his sword swing, his sword moves were more sinister, and he stabbed directly at Gandalf's vitals, and Gandalf had to dodge.
"Saruman, your sword is as mean as you are."
"Oh, Gandalf, your swordsmanship is much better than wielding a staff."
Gandalf's face darkened. Who are you to be so weird? Isn't my holy light magic powerful?
Both of them tried their best, but soon their wizard robes were torn several times.
"Roar"
They were evenly matched in battle, but the mount was different. The warg suddenly attacked and bit Gandalf's white horse.
Blood flowed out, and the white horse was startled, almost jumping up.
Saruman would not give up this opportunity. The dark power of the dark ring enveloped the sword blade, and he thrust out the sword, directly piercing Gandalf's shoulder.
The power of darkness quickly eroded Gandalf's body, and in an instant he fell from his white horse and fell to the ground.
"Gandalf!"
When Aragorn saw this scene, he wanted to leave the orcs besieging him, but the next moment a troll directly hit him with a huge mace.
Under such pressure, he had no way to support him and could only quickly dodge the huge mace.
Théoden saw that Gandalf had already failed, and his heart sank. He must break out, otherwise they would all stay here.
These dark orcs were far more powerful than they expected. Not only were they not afraid of the sunlight during the day and were not weakened in the slightest, but what was even more terrifying was that their power was far greater than that of the orcs.
"Breakout!"
As the order was passed on, the entire cavalry unit was leaving their opponents behind, and they retreated neatly, even if they paid some price.
As long as they create a distance, they can launch a charge, or leave this place and give full play to their advantages.
Although the orcs were constantly fighting, and even the trolls were intercepting them, after all, they had mounts with them, and it was really possible for the knights of the Rohan Kingdom to distance themselves.
However, they spent a lot of money, such as a Gandalf and nearly five thousand cavalry.
Saruman came to Gandalf and sneered: "It seems that I won again this time."
He raised the black staff high, and black thunder and lightning burst out, and he was about to execute Gandalf before his eyes.
"唳"
At this moment, the cry of eagles appeared in the sky, a huge shadow passed across the sky, and strong winds struck towards Saruman.
"Wind King Guan He!"
The giant eagle, a descendant of Maia, appeared on the battlefield and launched an attack on Saruman.
The lightning in Saruman's hand struck directly at the giant eagle, and five or six giant eagles were knocked to the ground at once.
His body was charred black, but he was not killed by this powerful lightning. He was only injured, which shows how powerful his body is.
Wind King Guan He used the cover of his companions, then grabbed the seriously injured Gandalf and flew directly into the sky.
Not far away, Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli were also caught by the giant eagle, and then left the battle directly.
Théoden's heart sank when he saw this scene. I haven't retreated yet, and now all my allies have fled?
For a moment, he felt complicated, but there was nothing he could do about it. He had no background, and it was the home court, so he couldn't be allowed to leave.
Gandalf is from Maia, Aragorn is from the bloodline of the Emperor, and Legolas is from the Elf clan and has a very close relationship with the Giant Eagle.
Only Gimli was close, but he could not defeat him because he represented the power of the dwarves and was close to Aragorn and the others.
"retreat!"
There was no way to fight this battle, so Theoden directly ordered a retreat. This order was extremely sad, because this retreat meant that his son was definitely finished on the other side of Helm's Castle.
"Kill them!"
However, at this time, Saruman was angry because he failed to kill Gandalf, and loudly ordered the orcs to attack.
In the dense forest of the white mountains behind, the branches swayed for a moment, and a large number of demon tree people rushed out under the leadership of the Dark Leaf King and Treebeard.
Their number is greater than that of trolls, and with the combination of their flamboyant vines and thick arms, their blocking surface is larger than a mace.
The way back was completely cut off, and Théoden's face turned pale, knowing that Rohan was over.
Even the cavalry cannot escape under such a siege. This is a well-designed trap.
"Your Majesty the King, you go first, we will cover you."
"Dong dong dong"
As soon as the knight guarding him said this, the sound of neat footsteps was heard in the distance, and Ashgar's army on the hillside had already appeared there, menacingly.
"charge!"
Théoden took the lead in charging towards Saruman.
It was just that they were separated by countless orc soldiers. He had just rushed in front of the military formation and slightly scattered some of the soldiers in the front row. The next moment, he was pierced by a spear and lost his voice.
charge!
All the knights of the Rohan Kingdom regarded death as their own and launched a desperate charge.
It's just that their charge was just a desperate struggle. The demon tree people and trolls attacked one after another, and each of them became a corpse on the battlefield.
"Ignorance of good and evil"
Saruman raised the dark ring in his hand, and the power of darkness spread to the entire land. Gandalf ran away, but he could not let this battle be in vain.
The sacrificial spell sounded, and the flesh and blood were swallowed up by the darkness, and then turned into two pitch-black seeds, which were none other than the Mother Tree of War.
The mother tree can also grow in this place, but compared to this wilderness, Saruman feels that there is a more suitable place, such as Edoras, the capital of Rohan.
"Lord Saruman."
Ashgar arrived on the battlefield. At this time, the battlefield was completely devoid of any living Rohan people.
"Ashgar, complete the master's order and completely defeat the Rohan Kingdom."
"Follow your orders"
Without Théoden and elite cavalry, although the entire Rohan Kingdom still has the territories of various lords, its military strength has been reduced by more than half.
No one can stop Ashgar's military front, so the Rohan Kingdom is destined to belong to Zhang Ziyu.
Saruman brought some of his troops back to Isengard and Zhang Ziyu to report the results, while Ashgar went to attack Edoras non-stop.
In less than three days, Edoras fell.
Without the protection of knights, the royal capital of this country is vulnerable. Two war mother trees were planted in the royal capital and quickly took root and sprouted.
Zhang Ziyu was also greeted respectfully by Saruman and others from the Orthanc Tower in Isengard to Edoras.
This place is wider and more comfortable than Orthanc Tower. Of course, more importantly, it is closer to the center of the world. The body universe is located on the mountain peak that Edoras relies on, and it is becoming more and more powerful.
