Looking at the busy enemies outside the Black Gate, Sauron didn't pay too much attention to those ants.
Although his strength has not recovered much, the army in his hands does not have an overwhelming advantage.
For example, the number of servants under his command is ten times the number of enemy troops outside the door.
But the high wall used to defend Mordor itself possesses dark magic, and its defensive capabilities are terrifying.
Even a powerful trebuchet cannot cause much damage to it, and Sauron has deployed heavy troops on and behind the high wall.
To prevent enemies from climbing up via ladders.
With his cunning mind, he even laid an ambush in the shadow of the Gray Mountains.
In his opinion, those miscellaneous troops outside the door, even if their strength were doubled, would not be able to defeat Demon Lannon.
Therefore, the Lord of Mordor didn't care at all about the provocateurs outside the door.
In fact, under Sauron's rule, this towering and long black wall actually fell only once.
That was the period of the final alliance war.
Sauron suffered a humiliating defeat at the Battle of Dagorad, and his minions all fled when faced with the spear of Gil-galad, Aegroth, and the sword of Elendil, Nasil.
With their hearts filled with fear, they simply did not have enough strength to resist the elves and humans who formed the alliance head-on.
Therefore, Sauron at that time simply gave up defending the Black Gate and locked himself in his last fortress, Barad-dur.
And this was the only time it failed.
The other time, probably during the Second Era, made Sauron grovel in shame.
Just because he surrendered to the Númenóreans whom he hated and envied.
At that time, as the king, Al-Pharazon's power was too powerful, and Sauron was unable to fight against him.
To a certain extent, the Black Gate did not fall at all at that time. Sauron obediently walked out of Mordor, knelt on the ground and sang Conquest.
Of course, due to Al-Pharazon's stupidity and pride, coupled with Sauron's glib words and deceit, he finally succeeded in sending Númenor, the land of star attraction at its peak, into the abyss.
Then this is another story.
Moreover, the disaster of the Númenóreans did not reduce Sauron's hatred for them.
Because the Dark Lord lost his beautiful body in that disaster, and only his soul escaped smoothly.
This greatly damaged his strength, and he could no longer rely on his handsome appearance to seduce those wary free people.
When the sun in the sky reached its highest position in the day, more than 20,000 human and elven soldiers finally got into formation.
Allen looked at the motionless black door and knew that Zoro must have given up.
If he really wanted to start a decisive battle, the Dark Lord, who had no credibility at all, would have launched a surprise attack long ago when he was deploying his troops.
Such a reaction is naturally not a bad thing, and it shows that there is nothing wrong with Allen's guess. At this time, Mordor did not have overwhelming power facing the coalition of humans and elves.
According to Allen's original plan, the siege could be withdrawn after ten days and a half.
But after completing all the preparations, Saruman suddenly made a suggestion.
That is to make a noise before going to the Black Gate to increase the prestige of our siege and boost the morale of the soldiers.
At the same time, it can also undermine the confidence of Sauron's minions to do evil.
Saruman naturally had his own thoughts. On the one hand, it was because not long ago, the white-robed wizard suffered a big loss from Sauron when he used the Palantir crystal.
If this revenge is not avenged, he will naturally feel uneasy.
On the other hand, Sauron didn't dare to challenge behind the Black Gate. It can be said that the situation is very good.
Saruman, who always wanted to surpass Gandalf in all aspects, felt that if he could scold Sauron under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, but Sauron did not dare to say a word, his reputation would surely resound throughout the world.
Middle Earth.
After hearing Saruman's suggestion, Allen bluntly said that if he clamored in front of the Black Gate, Sauron would most likely send troops to fight.
This has certain risks.
Gandalf neither approved nor objected to this proposal. He did not want any conflict with Saruman. When shouldering a heavy responsibility, internal friction was the most undesirable behavior.
And given the current situation, there's no harm in shouting.
To Allen's surprise, Ecthelion, who had hesitated to attack the Black Gate, now agreed to this approach.
There are two reasons. What Sauron did at this time really gave Ecthelion, who had just become prime minister, a lot more confidence.
Second point, when guarding Osgiliath, Saruman helped Gondor a lot, and Ecthelion could not object at this time.
That would cause Gondor to lose the friendship of the White Wizard.
On the contrary, Lindir on the side seemed to want to say something, but he just looked at Saruman, who had a calm face but hot eyes, and did not express his thoughts.
The elf doesn't want to cause trouble.
Sengel, who was on the side, also expressed his approval. His allies all chose to agree, and the courageous Rohirrim people were not afraid.
At this point, Saruman's proposal was officially approved.
The entire team that went to "negotiate" in front of the Black Gate had Saruman as the main messenger.
In any case, the white-robed wizard is also the leader of the White Order, and his status among everyone even exceeds that of Gandalf.
Moreover, Gandalf will not compete with his "boss" for any chance to show his face.
Also accompanying them were Alan and Lindir, Chancellor Ecthelion of Gondor and King Sengor of Rohan, as well as many personal guards following them.
The group of people rode horses and came within the hearing range of Mo Lannon, attracting the attention of the defenders.
In fact, the burning magic eye at the top of Barad-dur has been staring at the team approaching the Black Gate.
"Sauron, don't hide behind this evil and despicable wall like an innocent person. Where was your arrogance when you plotted against the Lonely Mountain? Where was your arrogance when you attacked Gondor? Why did we come to the door of Mordor? You
But he is like a turtle huddled in this hard shell. Either he will follow the example of groveling to the Númenóreans thousands of years ago and obediently come out of the high wall to accept the trial, or he will flee far away.
Yes, never come back here, it's better to go find your master, the poor guy who is bound to the realm of emptiness."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Saruman's magical voice, like a muffled thunder, crossed the dark and tall Molannon and rushed towards an even more evil and desolate place.
Moreover, I said it three times.
Whether it was the guards stationed on the high wall, or the Orc army gathered behind the Black Gate, or even the Dongyi people hiding behind the tower, they all felt doubtful under Saruman's voice.
.
At this moment, the Dark Lord, the Lord of the Earth and the King of Humanity, whom they had always believed in, seemed to have become nothing.
It seems that Emperor Sauron, who is hidden in the Tower of Barad-dur, is not as powerful as he thought.
Some of the Dongyi people hiding in the Huijin Mountains have begun to wonder why they have to come all the way here to participate in a battle that has nothing to do with them.
The Snagas who gathered in Wudun Canyon became even more chaotic, causing some Uruks who were maintaining order to start scrambling.
This is the power that belongs to Saruman. While the voice of the white-robed wizard confuses all living beings, it can also make other voices unconvincing.
If someone refutes his orders and pleas, the deluded person will even attack the person who refutes, such as Snaga who is currently fighting with Uruk.
Only those with a firm mind and a strong will can escape Saruman's bewitchment.
And the voice full of magic becomes even more powerful when used in the cause of fighting evil.
Because there are not many mentally strong races that can surrender to the power of darkness.
If they were really strong-willed, they should be standing outside the Black Gate now instead of gathering in the evil-filled Mordor.
This situation was naturally clearly seen by the giant eye in the Iron Crown, which stared at Saruman with a ferocious and angry gaze, staring at the ant that had managed to escape from his trap.
Allen's polished words did great harm to Sauron.
Regardless of the outcome, bowing to Al-Pharazon will always be a scar that cannot be opened by the Dark Lord.
Sauron, who has always proclaimed himself the King of Humanity and Lord of the Earth, is naturally unwilling to let others mention again what he once voluntarily surrendered to.
That would be a blow to his prestige and would create an extremely strong sense of humiliation in the heart of the Dark Lord.
Otherwise, Sauron would not have taken the lead in attacking the fleeing Númenóreans after Elendil arrived in Middle-earth.
Moreover, since the Third Age, the descendants of the Númenóreans have been captured and tortured until now.
No matter from which angle you look at it, the elves should be Sauron's biggest threat, and the two sides have been fighting for who knows how many years.
But the naked hatred against the Númenóreans blinded the eyes of the Dark Lord.
The evil forces that serve him have been targeting the human kingdom led by the Númenóreans, while ignoring the elves whose power is declining.
But Saruman's words caused such an ugly scar to spread throughout half of Mordor.
That terrifying evil eye was now filled with rage.
In Sauron's opinion, how much power do these scum clamoring before the Black Gate have? How do they compare with the Númenóreans in their most prosperous period thousands of years ago!
Do you really think that you are so weak that anyone can humiliate you?
Moreover, these guys also mentioned the previous Dark Lord, Morgoth, whom Sauron admired most in his heart.
Even Sauron, who is extremely deep in the city and has evil thoughts, cannot accept this humiliation calmly.
If his burning gaze could cause harm to Saruman, then the white-robed wizard must have turned to ashes in his rage.
But Sauron has lost his treasure. With no body and weakened strength, he is unable to take action himself.
He could only let out an extremely sharp scream in extreme anger.
The voice of the Dark Lord came from the towering Barad-dur and spread throughout Mordor in an instant, eliminating all the influence caused by Saruman.
The dark clouds in the sky also began to spread from the Black Gate towards Dagorad, until they enveloped the human and elven troops.
The six Nazgûl hovering on the Tower of Fangs also flew higher into the sky after letting out shrill screams.
Under the cover of dark clouds, the Nazgul searched for their prey with cruel and vicious eyes.
And their existence also gradually lowered the morale of the human soldiers, who had finally regained their strength.
Amidst the loud banging sound, the originally closed black door opened from the center. At the same time, the deafening sound of the horn floated over the Wudun Canyon, and even the surrounding rocks trembled at the sound.
It was accompanied by bursts of thunderous drums, which were extremely powerful.
Following the drumbeats of "Winter", "Winter" and "Winter", the orc army, which had been like a black tide, poured out from the black door.
Hundreds of tall trolls were mixed among the orcs.
They include the more powerful Orog tribe and the mountain trolls that turn into stone under the sun.
This huge creature, surrounded by countless orcs, howled and rushed out.
Seeing such a situation, many generals who had been prepared immediately drove their horses back to their positions.
The orc army rushing from the Black Gate accelerated the pace of pursuit under the urging of the drums, but after all, their legs could not compare with the speed of the horses. They could only watch the small enemy army return to their own.
In the military formation.
With the return of many generals, the first to react was the Gondor army formation facing the attack of the orcs.
With a serious look on his face, Ecthelian looked at the charging enemies and quickly issued an order to hold his position.
With a military formation, even if the enemy's number exceeds their own several times, the warriors of Gondor can hold on for a long time.
After a while, the messengers carrying the prime minister's orders began to shuttle through the military formation.
The lords who had received the order looked nervously ahead, leading their men to prepare for the impact of the orc army.
At the same time, countless orcs swarmed out of the caves on both sides of the Black Gate.
After they howled and rushed out of the dark cave, they quickly gathered together with the orc troops from the Black Gate.
War drums rumbled, evil fire rose, and as the evil eye of the Tower of Barad-dur swept across the entire battlefield, the orcs' general attack began immediately.
At this time, the legion formed by the evil minions was more than four or five times larger than the military formation arrayed by the soldiers of Gondor, and it went to kill the humans who provoked their masters in a mighty manner.
At this moment, behind the tall tower in the distance, bursts of dust rose.
Thousands of Dongyi soldiers riding rune horses came out from there and hid there early, waiting for Sauron's orders.
At this time, Sauron's power was powerful, and the huge orc army was killing the humans hiding behind the mudflats.
The huge evil eye located at the top of the Tower of Barad-dur concentrated all his malice here. He wanted to watch his servants drown those bastards who spoke arrogantly.
No, he wanted to leave the wizard in white robes to suffer endless torture in the prison of Barad-dur.
