"To form an army of cannon fodder to die, the number should not be small. Sauron will not take it seriously if there are 1,800 people. The number of the army should be at least 10,000."
Russell opened the skylight and spoke openly, regardless of everyone's negative attitude. Everyone knew the truth, and he just wanted to take a chance and didn't want to face the facts.
"Besides, it's useless if the cats and dogs are gone. The person who leads this army must be in a high position, such as Aragorn and Théoden. The two human kings are Sauron's biggest enemy and the most delicious bait."
Aragorn: "..."
Theoden: "..."
"Oh, by the way, there is also Gandalf. You are the first choice for cannon fodder." Russell looked at Gandalf and said with admiration: "The white-robed mage targeted Mordor in various ways. He jumped up and down without a moment's leisure. He saved others by himself.
, if I were Sauron, as long as you show up in Mordor, I will kill you at all costs!"
Gandalf: "..."
When the fire burned his body, Gandalf was stunned for a moment and accepted it. He was not afraid of Sauron. The big leader gave him a gold medal for immunity from death, so he would talk nonsense?
But as a mature Maia, when someone was stuffed into a heap of cannon fodder, he couldn't pretend that he didn't hear anything. He cleared his throat and said: "Russell, the person Sauron wants to kill most right now is you. Battle of Helm's Deep
, during the Battle of the Plains of Pallenor, you destroyed his strategic plan twice... To save others by yourself, if I were Sauron, as long as you show up in Mordor, I will try my best to kill you."
Aragorn and Théoden nodded, reasonable!
To the surprise of several people, Russell also nodded: "Yes, I have ruined Sauron's good deeds several times and blocked the temptation of the Supreme Lord of the Rings. It is indeed a very good bait."
Gandalf had a strange look on his face. Russell suddenly became so aware, which made him feel unreal. He said doubtfully, "So, you want to join the cannon fodder team and sacrifice yourself for the Fellowship of the Ring to destroy the Supreme Lord of the Rings?"
"When did I say I wanted to join the cannon fodder team?" Russell said in surprise.
"You said it yourself, you said you were the best bait!" Gandalf's eyes widened, and he pretended to be stupid in front of everyone. He was more mature than him.
"Yes, I am the best bait, but I didn't say I wanted to join the cannon fodder team!"
Gandalf looked constipated: "If you don't join the cannon fodder team, how can you be used as bait?"
Russell chuckled and took out a black robe from under the table: "During the two battles, I wore a black robe similar to that of the Ringwraiths. Just find someone in the cannon fodder team who can wear a black robe, and that's me."
Everyone: I have never seen such a shameless person!
"Listening to what you said, I..."
Gandalf opened his mouth, but Russell interrupted him mid-sentence: "White robes are no good. Gandalf, you are a dignified and upright person. Although you are a bit older, you can still be considered to be majestic. Your unconventional temperament is ordinary."
People can’t learn.”
Gandalf's eyes widened when he heard this, but he was a mature Maia and changed the topic: "Don't talk nonsense. I, Gandalf the White, regard death as his own. How could I find a substitute?"
"Ah, what do you want to say?" Russell buttoned his nose, rolled it into a ball, and flicked it into the distance.
"You found a substitute to pretend to be yourself, so what are you doing?" Gandalf asked seriously. Gandalf would never believe that Russell was planning to escape. Russell would have escaped long ago, so why wait until now.
Russell stood up and said righteously: "I will personally protect Frodo and go to Mount Doom to destroy the Supreme Lord of the Rings!"
When everyone heard this, their eyes changed instantly. The cannon fodder troops had a narrow escape, but going deep into the Doomsday Mountains in Mordor was ten times more dangerous, with ninety-nine deaths.
For a time, everyone was moved by Russell's spirit of sacrifice.
Russell has a devilish spirit of sacrifice. He is most afraid of death. He went to Mount Doom for a mission. He must end Sauron's life with his own hands.
In the original work, the reason why the Supreme Lord of the Rings was destroyed was not because Frodo's will was strong enough, but because of various accidents caused by a combination of circumstances. If he didn't go with him, he would feel uneasy.
Russell knew about the mission in his heart, but others did not. In the eyes of everyone, his image instantly became brighter.
"Russell, I am willing to accompany you." Legolas said.
"I'll go too!" Gimli agreed.
"And I am also a member of the Fellowship of the Ring." Boromir stood up.
"No!" Russell shook his head decisively.
"Why, are you afraid that we will drag you down?"
yes!
Russell glanced at Legolas and the others, and said in a deep voice: "I also want to take you with me, but I can't do this. You are members of the Fellowship of the Ring, and you must appear in the sight of the Eye of Sauron, otherwise
It will arouse his suspicion."
Legolas and others looked sad. Russell was right. For the sake of the overall situation, they could not be willful.
"Frodo, you are the ring bearer, are you willing to trust me and let me protect you on your way to Mount Doom?" Russell looked at the hobbit and asked seriously.
"Of course, Mr. Russell!" Frodo stood up immediately and straightened up.
"Very good, even if I risk my life not to take it, I will ensure your safety."
The atmosphere was almost settled, Gandalf coughed lightly: "I will follow the army, attract the attention of the Eye of Sauron, and buy time for you two to destroy the Supreme Lord of the Rings."
"And me!"
"Me too!"
"..."
Aragorn held the Holy Sword in his hand: "I will lead Gondor's army to conquer personally. Sauron is deliberately trying to eradicate the bloodline of the Dundain people. I am the only heir of Gondor, and I will definitely attract the attention of the Eye of Sauron."
Théoden showed admiration and stood up: "I will lead the cavalry of Rohan. If we want to attract the attention of the Eye of Sauron, the King of Rohan is indispensable."
At this point, the meeting has basically come to an end. The two kings joined hands to fight in person, and together with the members of the Fellowship of the Ring, it was enough to divert all the attention of the Eye of Sauron.
However, it is still very dangerous for Russell and Frodo to go deep into Mordor, and if they are not careful, they will be doomed.
Gandalf was filled with emotion. Although Russell was usually just like him... ahem, although he was very unreliable at ordinary times, he was trustworthy at critical moments: "Russell, this trip is extremely dangerous. Do you have any requirements?"
In other words, you may have given up this time. If you still have any unfulfilled wishes, tell them now and we will try our best to satisfy you.
Aragorn's eyes flashed, and he nodded to Russell silently.
Russell's expression remained unchanged. He had no idea what Aragorn meant. He turned to Gandalf and said, "Frodo and I act together. Although it is convenient to hide, the possibility of exposure still exists..."
"So?" Gandalf swallowed.
"In case we are discovered and need air support, rush into Mount Doom as quickly as possible." Russell looked at Gandalf with an innocent look: "The white-robed mage is well-informed and knows what kind of strange beasts fly high.
It’s fast and can carry people...like a giant eagle, or a giant eagle, or a giant eagle or something like that."
