End of the Sky (Multiverse's End)

"No one can choose me! Gandalf, you let me take your place and assist King Theoden in guarding the Horn Fort. Isn't this pushing the Kingdom of Rohan into the fire pit?"

Gandalf: "..."

Russell was heartbroken: "Gandalf, you thick eyebrows and big eyes. Theoden regards you as a close friend. You actually want to harm him. What kind of hatred is there?"

Gandalf: "..."

"Don't look at me like that, I'm telling the truth, as long as I'm in this hole, all Rohan people can't fill it up!" In order to prove himself, Russell shouted in front of him: "Aragorn, are you willing to believe me? "

Aragorn didn't look back, and he didn't even move while riding on the horse. He was deaf in both ears as if he was disconnected.

"Look, I'm still very confident in this aspect!"

Russell clapped his hands together, Gandalf was very smart, why did he lose his mind?

Could it be that he drifted away after being promoted to the white robe?

Seeing Russell slandering himself in order to shirk responsibility, Gandalf almost sprayed his face with old blood. Of course he knew that Russell was a trap, but did he have a choice now?

It is because there is no choice, that I know it is a pit and I have to jump into it!

"Ahem!"

Gandalf coughed lightly, and moved his feelings with reason: "Russell, Rohan's geographical location is very important. If Isengard occupies it and flanks Sauron of Mordor one after the other, Gondor will definitely be defeated. "

Russell didn't speak, and looked down at the two ants fighting.

Gandalf gritted his teeth, and continued: "The elves are gradually declining, and they are heading to Aman one after another. The dwarves' hometown of Moria has been destroyed, and they are only active in a few areas. Only the human kingdom is struggling to resist Sauron's power. Rohan cannot afford to lose. "

Russell didn't speak, he found that both ants were male.

Gandalf twitched, and said again: "Russell, I know your strength very well. You will definitely have a place in the Holy White Council. As long as you are serious and take the national disaster in Rohan as your own business, Helm's Deep will definitely be shocked." No danger."

Russell didn't say a word. He just misread it. One of the ants looked like a male, but it wasn't.

Gandalf took a deep breath and let out his trump card: "After the matter is done, I will teach you... the lighting technique!"

Russell stomped the two ants to death, and looked up at Gandalf: "Don't try to lie to me, it's not lighting at all, but the power of God. Even if you teach me by hand, I can't learn it."

"No, I promise you can learn it!" Gandalf resolutely said.

"make a deal!"

Russell also nodded resolutely: "Gandalf, you can go at ease, Helm's Deep will be safe if you leave it to me."

Gandalf frowned: "You're not right. It's Gandalf the White Robe. Although I've never paid attention to white robes and gray robes, it's a matter of faith, and there is no room for loss."

"Sorry, I'll say it again... Gandalf the White Robe, you can go at ease!"

"Well, then I'll leave it to you!"

After speaking, Gandalf in the white robe disappeared into the distant forest. There is no need to worry about his safety, Gandalf has three magic weapons across Middle-earth, dark heart, cruel hand, and many friends. Needless to say the first two, Saruman's ending is the proof, and the last one, the tree man must have settled the relationship long ago.

...

"What, you said Gandalf went to find reinforcements?" King Theoden of Rohan was dressed in armor, with blond hair and a shawl like a lion. When he heard that Gandalf had left, his eyebrows were a little unhappy.

"Your Majesty, Gandalf was worried that Saruman had other support, so he went to the forest to find reinforcements." Seeing that Theoden looked unhappy, Russell explained to Gandalf.

"No, you misunderstood, Wizard Russell, I don't think Gandalf fled the battle. We have known each other for many years, and I know what he is like."

Theoden waved his hand. There was another reason for his unwavering expression: "Hornburg has gone through many battles and has never been captured. At this time, there are 2,000 guards in the city, all of whom are elite fighters from Rohan. There are also 2,000 cavalry in the valley. The grassland outside is waiting for orders. Attacking from both sides, Isinger's army will undoubtedly be defeated.

Gandalf was too cautious. "

Theoden's unhappiness came from a sense of honor. The hussar king on horseback felt that he was underestimated. Even if the orcs had thousands of troops, Rohan could only win this battle.

He firmly believes in this, there is nothing in case, and he is not afraid of it!

"Report!"

Outside the hall, the messenger rushed in without waiting for Theoden to respond.

"Your Majesty, come here to report, and Isinger's army is coming out..." The orderly said this, his hands were shaking: "The number of enemies is as many as 30,000!"

"30000!?"

Theoden stood up abruptly, his face full of disbelief: "Impossible, there can't be 30,000 orcs in the Orc Legion, and Essinger can't afford to support so many soldiers."

In the hall, Aragorn and others turned pale. With 30,000 orc soldiers, Saruman can conquer Middle-earth by himself without Mordor, but... 30,000 is too much, Isengard is just a The fortress is not a country, so how can it have such a big arm?

Not only Aragorn and others don't believe it, but Russell also doesn't believe it. Although he knows little about Middle-earth, the aspect of logistics is common in any world.

Essinger can't afford 30,000 mouths, and Saruman can't afford to sell the Mage Tower!

"Among the 30,000 army, only half of Essinger's orcs are half-orcs, and the rest are half-orcs. When I explored the horse, I saw a ring spirit riding a flying dragon..." The orderly swallowed, and said with difficulty: "Our enemies are more than It's Isengard, and Mordor."

Theoden almost fell down as if struck by lightning, Aragorn asked aloud: "Is it wrong, the power of Mordor is far in the east, and the half-orcs are blocked in the Palennor Plain, there is no reason to suddenly appear behind us? "

The messenger didn't know either, he just recounted the information sent back by the scout horse.

"It doesn't matter if it's the half-orcs of Mordor. The number of enemies far exceeds ours, so we can't sit still..." Theoden regained his momentum and ordered: "Let the cavalry on the grassland evacuate and avoid contact with Isengard's army. Use surprise tactics when necessary."

"Yes, Your Majesty the King!"

"Conscript the people in the city to fight, let women and children take refuge in caves, and others go to the arsenal to get equipment. This battle is related to the survival of Rohan, and no one can escape." Theoden issued the second order.

"Yes, Your Majesty the King!"

"Mobilize the militia, and before the enemy arrives, cut down more logs and come back, which will be useful when defending the city..." Having said this, Theoden turned to look at Russell: "Wizard Russell, did Gandalf say, When will he arrive with reinforcements?"

Russell was silent for a while, and said to Theoden: "Your Majesty, Gandalf will arrive at the last moment."

Xio Dun was taken aback for a moment, then reacted with a wry smile: "At the last moment, I really hope it's earlier..."

Theoden understood what Russell meant. The so-called last moment was when the Horn Fort was about to be breached, and reinforcements arrived to boost the morale of the soldiers defending the city.

But this trick can only be used once!
