Chapter 376: There are more friends and a better way to go
The people above requested that Saruman be killed, and Gandalf agreed with this. They were both members of the Five Witches, and the two did not get along happily.
Saruman was arrogant. Although he was powerful, he was not as valued by his leaders as Gandalf, so he was jealous. He knew that Gandalf was more talented than him and would surpass him sooner or later, and his jealousy slowly turned into hatred.
After arriving in Middle-earth, Saruman often gave Gandalf small shoes, persuaded him to stay away from the White Council, and even imprisoned him himself, trying every means to torture him.
Gandalf knew all this, but he was a mature Maia and had been silently enduring it, never showing his dissatisfaction, allowing Saruman to go further and further on the road of madness.
Finally, his painstaking efforts were not in vain. Saruman completely degenerated and took refuge with the Demon King Sauron. He also attempted to get his hands on the Lord of the Rings, but was blacklisted by the people above him.
A villain will take revenge all day long; a gentleman will take revenge and endure it for ten years first!
Gandalf silently praised himself. His sins were not in vain. Not only did he turn into a white robe, he was also appreciated by the big leader.
Haha, it’s just Saruman, but I still want to fight him!
…
The crowd went all the way south. With the excellent war horses sponsored by Galadriel, their speed was countless times faster than before.
There was an episode in the middle. The dwarf warrior Gimli's legs were too short to control the horse, so he could only sit on the horse of the elf prince Legolas.
Before, Gimli would never agree to it, but after meeting Galadriel, he immediately changed his stance and became a big fan of the Queen of the Forest.
Gimli said before that the souls of those who have seen Galadriel no longer belong to him. He predicted his own destiny!
A dwarf who is misled by beauty should feel ashamed if he still has any sense of honor. Russell is very disdainful, but he also knows that not everyone can be like him, with beauty in front of him and not moving at all.
The land of Rohan is very open, covered by pastures and grasslands, so it is rich in fine war horses, and the Rohan people are also called a country on horseback.
In other words, this country is basically a nomadic nation. Although the people are strong and fierce, they rarely build cities. Edoras, the capital of the royal capital, is one of the few large cities in the country, and there is also the fortress city of Helm's Deep, which can resist the strong force.
The only barrier to the orc army.
As his horse galloped on the grassland, Gandalf suddenly felt something in his heart and signaled everyone to speed up. A cavalry unit ahead was attacked by strong orcs.
Gandalf's perception ability was extremely strong. In comparison, Russell was much inferior. He continued to rush for a certain distance before he sensed the existence of the cavalry troops.
In fact, there is no need to perceive it, just see it with your eyes. Rohan is mostly open grassland. A few people climbed over a hillside, and the battle situation hundreds of meters away was immediately visible.
A cavalry team of more than 30 horses was trapped in an encirclement. Most of the orcs were infantry, but they had fierce wolf cavalry, which prevented the Rohan cavalry from breaking through.
"Let's go!"
Aragorn drew the holy sword, Boromir beside him blew the horn, and the Gondor warriors launched the charge horn.
The sound of the horn immediately attracted the attention of the orcs. More than a dozen wolf cavalry bared their teeth and raised their swords high to kill them, and then...died from Legolas' single shot.
A small group of roaming Orcs is no match for the Fellowship of the Ring. Aragorn and the others are fat for nothing. Their powerful physiques have transformed them, and their combat effectiveness has soared. They can defeat all the Orcs in three strikes, five divided by two.
Annihilate.
Rohan's cavalry team was stunned. The sound of Gondor's horn was very familiar, but when did the Gondor people become so powerful?
"You are...Gandalf! And you, Boromir, are you here too?"
A tall young man walked out of the cavalry. He was stunned for a moment and then immediately smiled. He was Eomer, the general of the Rohan Kingdom. He was familiar with Boromir and was no stranger to Gandalf, who often visited.
"Eomer, I didn't expect to meet you here."
"I should say this. It's incredible. It's so nice to meet you!" Eomer dismounted and bowed slightly to Gandalf.
Gandalf is so magical, elves, humans, dwarves, hobbits, trees, etc., wherever he goes, there are people who are willing to sell him some face.
In comparison, Saruman seemed to be a homebody and didn't understand the principle of having more friends and easier travels. Later, all the roads were taken by Gandalf. When he lifted his foot, the only way to Mordor was!
"We heard that Isengard sent troops to Rohan and came here to help. Please take us to the royal capital. I want to see Théoden." Gandalf spoke concisely and directly stated his purpose, and joined hands with Rohan to defeat Saruman.
It was his top priority right now, and Sauron had to put it aside first.
"Thank you very much for your assistance, Gandalf. You will always be a friend of the people of Rohan." Eomer thanked him again, and then said with a solemn expression: "Before going to the royal capital, I would like to ask you to save someone first."
With that said, two knights helped the wounded man off the horse, a young man with long dark blond hair, Prince of Rohan, Théoden's son, and the first heir to the throne Théod.
"He's hurt badly!"
Gandalf recognized Thyod's identity. The latter had a sword wound on his abdomen and a heavy blow on his brain. The wounds were only briefly treated and he could die at any time.
"Theod was attacked by orcs at the ferry. He was seriously injured when reinforcements arrived. Please save him, please!" Eomer knelt down in front of Gandalf and said sincerely.
Gandalf glanced at Eomer, with a look of emotion on his face: "Eomer, you are a good boy..."
Gandalf had his own reasons for saying this. Eomer was Théoden's nephew and the second heir to the throne. If Théoden died in battle, he would become the first heir, but he did not do so.
"Don't worry, I will do my best to treat Thyod, but he is too seriously injured and I cannot guarantee that I will save him." Gandalf said.
"You are too humble. When you agreed, Théod's life was already saved."
The treatment process was very simple. Gandalf used the all-powerful lighting technique, and Thyod's wounds healed quickly. Tetanus, concussion, all went away, it was just excessive blood loss that prevented him from waking up immediately.
"Eomer, tell me the current situation in Rohan!" After the treatment was completed, Gandalf got to the point.
Eomer's face straightened: "The powerful orc army is pressing down on the border, and small groups of troops are attacking scattered tribes. His Majesty the King's health is deteriorating, and there are villains around him who are causing trouble. Rohan is suffering from internal and external troubles."
"Thyod..."
…
Everyone rushed to the royal capital overnight, and during this period they were attacked by several orc troops. The cavalry troops of the Rohan Kingdom were hunting down these ferocious invaders.
Gandalf was worried when he saw this. Saruman's harassment tactics were successful. The powerful Rohan cavalry was forced to disperse into several groups, unable to form a climate on the grassland. As long as they broke through Helm's Deep, the Orc army would no longer be able to stop it.
At that time, the entire Kingdom of Rohan will be like opening two branches, allowing Saruman to go in and out, taking whatever he wants!
