"A new darkness has swallowed Mordor, and we have no time."
In the deep valley of the golden forest, headed by Yavanna Valar, Gandalf, Lady Galadriel, Elrond, Thrandel and Aragorn were all present.
The three major tribes of the elves, as well as the human armies gathered from all over the north, seemed to have gathered outside the dark forest and the golden forest.
The elven army has about 300,000 combat-ready soldiers, while the humans, although few, are all good fighters, numbering about 30,000.
This is their entire force, and it is also their support against the orc army.
Gandalf was categorical: "We can no longer sit on the defensive line. We must go south and get to Rohan to have enough depth to fight the orc army."
"Yes, if we regain Rohan, we will have more human reinforcements. At the same time, the dwarves in the northeast will also be able to join our forces. Only then will the strength of the coalition reach its peak."
Aragorn also sees the situation clearly. Now that the dark forces are fighting, they must seize this opportunity, otherwise it will be even more difficult to deal with when the dark forces turn around.
Lansedir brows puzzled and said: "But Isengard is still behind. If we don't pull out this nail, we will face the risk of a flanking attack in taking Rohan. If we are not careful, it will become the source of defeat."
.And those greedy dwarves expect them to arrive on time, ha!"
The wood elves led by Lanceldil are located in the Dark Forest, bordering the dwarves of the Lonely Mountain.
At first, the relationship between the two tribes was good, but later they had great conflicts and almost became incompatible.
However, more than fifty years ago, thanks to the Battle of the Five Armies under the Lonely Mountain, and teaming up with the dwarves to defeat Azog's orc army, the relationship was slightly eased.
But it is not an easy thing to really let go.
"Thranduil"
Yavanna's voice sounded, gentle and gentle: "Thrandil, you should learn to trust the dwarves."
Thranduil's face froze, but he nodded imperceptibly: "I will try my best, Lady Yavanna."
Elves are also creatures of Ilúvatar, possessing eternal life, and are not much inferior to Valar and Maia in origin.
In fact, in terms of immortality and strength alone, elves like Galadriel and Elrond are no worse than Maia.
Therefore, Yavanna is never a coercive gesture here, but represents the attitude of the Valar and even Ilúvatar.
Of course, this does not mean that Yavanna has no majesty. On the contrary, the elves will not easily disobey Vera, especially on such a big matter.
Elrond said: "The troops are divided into two groups. I will destroy Isengard Fortress first, while you attack Rohan."
The troops were divided into two groups, and this was the best opportunity before the Dark Orc army returned.
"I agree, but Fangorn Forest is there. You can bring Lady Yavanna's tree people to help."
Gandalf nodded and agreed to Elrond's plan, and Yavanna did not deny Gandalf's decision.
After she gave birth to some tree people again, she handed them over to the leader and professor Gandalf, and naturally allowed them to accept Gandalf's arrangements.
"Let's follow Oroin's method. We don't have much time. Sauron's aura has dimmed. What we have to face is an even more terrifying darkness."
.......
The army has been gathering for several days, and it can be said that it is ready.
Elrond divided his army into 30,000 men and took 500 tree men directly from the Golden Forest, around Fangorn Forest and directly to where Isengard was.
Gandalf and the others led an army of 300,000 people, went directly south to invade the territory of West Fold, and then drove straight in to attack the direction of Edoras, and pushed towards the east.
When Saruman and the others attacked Mordor, they did not leave many men in Rohan. The largest number of troops was the Skeleton Corps.
These are humans who died in battle, and the monsters awakened by the corpses of orcs have some strength, but they are not that powerful.
Their number is huge, there are almost 50,000 in the entire West Fold. Although they are scattered in various villages, they still cannot be underestimated.
Gandalf led the army and slashed with swords all the way. Aragorn was also far more powerful than before. He was unstoppable along the way. After paying a price of more than 20,000 people, he captured a large amount of Rohan's land.
The people of Rohan were naturally extremely happy when the king of humans and elves returned. Many people with evil intentions also joined the coalition at this time.
Fighting along the way, there were losses along the way, and the number of the army actually increased significantly, with an additional 50,000 human soldiers.
And this momentum was maintained until near Nindorf Fortress.
The coalition forces are waiting for their own allies, the 100,000-strong army of dwarves.
In the Dark City, Saruman knelt on the ground, and Ashgar also knelt on the ground, his face full of anger and regret.
"Master, I am incompetent. The remaining soldiers left behind are not enough to deter the elves. Please allow me to lead my army to flatten them. From now on, Master is the only one who is above all living beings in Middle-earth."
Saruman's words were filled with hatred. Such an invasion of Rohan would not only hit him in the face, but Zhang Ziyu's face.
But now, the hardest thing for him to accept is when someone insults Zhang Ziyu.
"Assemble the army. It's just the last big show. You don't have to blame yourself. It's better to take action and capture a few more Villas."
Zhang Ziyu smiled, but did not care so much when he said: "By the way, your Isengard's lair should be destroyed by Elrond soon."
Saruman looked fierce and said sternly: "How dare he!"
Isengard has always been Saruman's home base, and it has been so for thousands of years. Now it has been stolen by Elrond.
He just felt the anger rushing into his head, and he wished he could kill Elrond now.
"Assemble the army. The dwarves will arrive in three days. Don't ruin my game."
Saruman restrained his anger and said respectfully: "Obey my master, we will defeat all opponents and attack every corner of Middle-earth for you."
"For the glory of our Lord."
Voices rang out in the hall, and everyone was extremely enthusiastic and confident.
Relying on their own strength is secondary. The most important thing is that now, including the troops transformed by Dark Invasion in the Black Gate Fortress, they have a total of nearly 500,000 to 600,000 troops.
With such a powerful army, Saruman couldn't imagine where he could lose.
Zhang Ziyu sent the six people away and asked them to prepare for war, while he paid more attention to Sauron inside the mimic fence No. 46.
Sauron's spiritual intelligence, which had just entered the factory, had already been suppressed for the most part, so he did not resist, but instead worked extremely hard to tighten the screws.
The dropped materials, Sauron's heart, Sauron's essence and blood, Sauron's Maia blood... There are not too many things dropped, of course, it's just that I haven't seen the items yet, so it's not a big problem.
Just as the Dark City was preparing for war and getting ready for war, the dwarf troops finally arrived at the upper reaches of the river to rest and recuperate.
After three days of tacit understanding, the allied forces of elves, dwarves, and humans finally continued to march southward with great momentum and momentum, arriving at the middle and lower sections of the river, facing the City of Darkness in the distance.
