The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 137 Destiny
It took Allen nearly three months for this trip to Rose Lorian. When he returned to Wilderness Town, the surrounding area of ​​the territory entered the busy harvest season again. He had to say what he wanted to do in this era. Things are very difficult, just wasting a lot of time on the road.

However, by the time Allen returned, the recruitment of knight apprentices had been almost completed by the cabinet. Most of the 1000 people were school-age children, and almost all of them had received a certain amount of education in the school founded by Allen. A small number of them are young active-duty soldiers, and some of them have even followed Allen to the tunnel in the Misty Mountains and participated in the battle to save the Beorn people. Although they are not very old, they can be said to be serious veteran.

After completing the recruitment, these knight apprentices who meet the conditions have already started basic training. The subjects they currently have to complete include serving horses and basic equestrian skills, knowing and maintaining commonly used weapons and armor, as well as learning military discipline and some commonly used instruction.

The difference is that most of the boys learn the use of lances, long swords and knight shields. If they are talented, they can also learn some throwing skills. Depending on their age, the armor used for training is also Some heavy armors focus on physical training. Apart from these, most of the education they receive is how to kill the enemy in a courageous charge. Almost all Swadian knights have become them. instructor.

As for the few girls, in terms of weapons, they are more likely to learn some bow and arrow skills, and wear some light armor, although they cannot resist the enemy's slashing and stabbing in close combat , but in the process of horseback shooting, it is still possible to reduce the impact of some bows and arrows.

And the education they receive is how to choose the strategy of escape immediately after encountering the enemy head-on. If they cannot escape, they must ensure that they can maintain a safe combat distance with the enemy, and use bows and arrows to end the battle, of course. They will also receive melee training, but most of them are light weapons. At the same time, they will also receive a lot of training in scouting and tracking. If they are interested, they can also learn some throwing knife skills .

For the entire training process of knight apprentices, Allen did not intend to set a specific time. Whether he can successfully join the newly formed Rovanian Kingdom Knights depends entirely on the assessment. After all, there is a big gap in the age of this wave of apprentices. , the time required to complete the training varies.

After Allen arranged these things properly, the time had entered winter, and Kress, who represented Allen to celebrate Senger's wedding, finally returned to Wilderness Town, and told a series of things that happened in Gondor, as well as Senger's wedding. Hall's request was brought to Allen who had just finished his busy life.

Allen also fell into confusion about the sudden fierce war between Mordor and Gondor. In his guess, the two sides should be fighting a small fight, and it is impossible to enter the conflict of an all-out war so soon. But things have been discovered, and Allen can only guess that his pair of little wings changed the original historical trajectory.

However, Allen also knows that Gondor is very strong, and he will not fall into a disadvantage in the battle in a short time, but the support he could have received may not be realized, but for the Kingdom of Rovanian, this cannot be achieved. It is a completely bad thing, because Ashur, who is entrenched in the eastern part of Rovanian, cannot get Sauron's support in a short time, so the balance between the two sides will not be broken in a short time. It's a good thing, the longer the time drags on, the stronger the strength he can accumulate.

It's just that the news from Heidelberg is not very good. After recuperating during the harvest season, the Dongyi people are not willing to abide by the previous armistice treaty after obtaining a large amount of food reserves. Some Dongyi people on horseback began to Majesticly appearing near the Runliu River, Elaine and his soldiers have entered a state of combat readiness, always guarding against the Dongyi people crossing the river to snatch the fruits of their labor.

Allen thought of this a long time ago. Even if a large-scale war does not break out between him and Ashur, some minor conflicts will definitely appear. After all, the looting habits of the Dongyi people cannot be changed. .

Regarding the active attack of the Dongyi people, Allen gave the order to Allen and Fatis to rely on the rushing river for defense, and not to give the enemy a chance to destroy the territory, and it is winter now, and Allen recruited before When the soldiers entered the slack season, they could take this opportunity to adapt to the fighting rhythm of the Dongyi people and accumulate some experience for future decisive battles.

As for Sengel's request, Allen will naturally not refuse, but it is winter now, and it is a great opportunity for James, who is almost 50 years old, to travel long distances to Rohan under this cold weather. A very challenging thing. Although his physical fitness is not bad for ordinary people, there is a great possibility that he will encounter some bad things during the journey.

However, the leader of the imperial guards of Rohan King City, who led the team, begged Alan to let the doctor go as soon as possible, because his king's illness was extremely serious, and he couldn't afford to delay it for a few months. At this time of crisis, he always guarded his father's side, and at the same time shouldered the responsibility of governing the territory, but for any loyal subordinate, he did not want the king he served to die, which was always the same for a country. sad thing.

Alan, who had been thinking about this for a while, gave the bottle of elixir left behind to his old friend James. In Alan's plan, he originally had one or two bottles of life-increasing drugs that belonged to him. This good friend of mine just chose James first among the two. As for Bundak, there will still be opportunities in the future, and in terms of age, James is indeed slightly older.

James, who drank the medicine, felt the changes in his body, but didn't doubt anything about it. Since Allen already has the ability to transform people into living people, it's nothing to conjure up a bottle or two of medicine with strange effects What is particularly extraordinary, if it is not known that this drug is extremely precious, James even wants to study the production method of this drug.

It's just that this kind of idea is destined to be impossible to realize. Middle-earth does not have the conditions to make this kind of potion. Moreover, it is impossible for Allen to provide the finished potion for James to experiment with. The chance of failure is too great, and Alan couldn't afford the price either.

Soon, James, who felt that he was much younger, led his apprentices and followed Rohan's royal guards on the road to Edoras. At the same time, Allen also sent a small team of cavalry as a James' entourage, following him along the way, it is always convenient to have some of his own people around him when he goes out.

If James can be successfully cured this trip, or King Finger's illness can be alleviated, then the friendship between Rohan and the Rovanian Kingdom will be formally established, and the little bit of unhappiness before will naturally come to an end. It will disappear.

Even James can't do anything about it. According to Senger's character, it is impossible to blame Alan who contributed. The friendship between the two can also continue.

After watching off the heavy-duty James to leave, Allen has entered a relatively leisurely time. Many jobs at the end of the year only need him to choose, nod or shake his head. Allen does not need to do it himself. He spends more time to observe the progress of various things, so as to avoid the originally well-intentioned decrees from developing bad results.

Different from Alan's comfort, Saruman who lives in Orthanc Tower is very busy. He is sweating profusely at the moment using the Palantir spar, and he has been doing this for a long time. It's time.

Yes, even though nearly half a year has passed since the meeting of the White Council, Saruman still has not started to fulfill his promise to send the Palantir spar out of Isengard.

The idea of ​​this white-robed wizard is very simple. Although it was agreed at the meeting to send the spar to the deep valley, Saruman did not promise a specific time because he knew that according to the elf's long life, one Two years passed in a blink of an eye, and delaying for a while would not have attracted Elrond's attention.

Saruman hopes to obtain more information about the ring through this period of time, and his search in the past few months has been very fruitful. In the spar, he saw a manuscript belonging to the Jewelry Guild, which was left in the flames of war. After coming down, the excited Saruman has arranged for his subordinates to be loyal to him and search for them in the ruins of Eregion. I believe there will be news soon.

But today, the behavior of the Palantir spar is very strange. During the process of using it, Saruman always felt that his gaze was forcibly drawn by an inexplicable force, and he looked towards the east direction. In the dark land, a towering black tower gradually became clear in his eyes, and at the top of the black tower was a magic eye full of evil fire.

The moment he saw this eye, Saruman knew what he saw. In that eye was the evil figure of the Dark Lord, and he himself was forcibly drawn to this place by Sauron's power.

At this time, Saruman, who was full of fear in his heart, wanted to disconnect from the spar, but how could Sauron let the hooked prey leave so easily? For a moment, a powerful force imprisoned Saruman's soul, And a large number of ravings containing evil power also polluted Saruman's will at this time, bewitching this wizard addicted to power.

In reality, an extremely distorted expression also appeared on Saruman's face, which meant that he was suffering unbearable pain at the moment. Suddenly, his hands left the spar, and his whole body fell to sit on the cold stone slab. After that, he immediately stood up, without even caring about wiping off the sweat on his face and the dust on his white robe, but covered the spar in front of him with a black cloth full of fear.

Because Sauron's power at this time was too weak to imprison the struggling prey for a long time, Saruman finally escaped from his ambush. Although he was unwilling, the result was like this, and Sauron fell into silence again. In the middle, the opened magic eye closed again.

And Saruman, who barely stood still and gasped for breath, stared at the spar in front of him for a long time with eyes full of struggles. Finally, after a sigh, he called his subordinates and handed over the wrapped spar. In the past, at the same time, he warned with a serious expression: "Send the contents of the package to the valley, and hand it over to Elrond."

The fear controlled by Sauron finally defeated Saruman's thirst for power. In this spiritual confrontation with the Dark Lord, the white-robed wizard could clearly feel Sauron's weakness, although he didn't know it. Why is his enemy in this state, but he knows that if he is not lucky enough, then from this moment on, he may have become Sauron's puppet. For him, this is an extremely terrible thing.

So Saruman, who had thought about everything clearly, didn't want to continue to see this spar for a moment. Even if he escaped from the ambush smoothly, but he wanted to completely remove Sauron's influence on his spirit, he would not It takes a very long period of rest.

During this time, after Saruman was going to take a break, he personally took the Star of Elendil to Wilderness Town to complete the deal with Allen. Since there is no way to get more information from the spar, then the The main ring that once belonged to humans was very important to him.

From all aspects, Saruman is an extremely decisive and capable person, but his overly proud character has also brought him to a very dangerous situation at this time. After a series of accidents, the white-robed wizard at this time may have completely degenerated and become a puppet of Sauron.

Even though Saruman's fate deviates slightly from the established track because of Alan's arrival, his strong desire to rule will not change because of other things. , showing the ambition of the master of Orthanc to form his own army.

You know, Saruman has always managed the land of Isengard in the name of the prime minister, and after he has an army, this situation will definitely change, and some half-orcs from the Misty Mountains, Now that he has come to the land of Isengard, Saruman, who heard the news, did not arrange for his men to clean up these enemy minions in the first place. Obviously, he is struggling with how to deal with these extremely fast-growing animals. dross.

Saruman himself knew that once he accepted the allegiance of the Orc and the Warg, he would forever be on the opposite side of the White Daoist Society, so he has not made a decision until now, and now he is going to postpone the matter. Finally, wait until after the transaction is successful to deal with these annoying things.

A few months later, Alan, who was inspecting the knight apprentice training into the team, welcomed two waves of guests, they were from Orthanc and Eriador.

　In fact, when I was looking through Saruman's information, there was a place that made me feel very strange. Saruman first accepted the allegiance of the orcs, and then was bewitched by Sauron and fell into darkness completely. I think this Some are unreasonable, because half-orcs are completely standard dark minions, even if it is Saruman who pursues power, as long as his idea is to fight against Sauron, then he should not think about recruiting these guys, I think Thor Mr. Jin also thought of this, so Saruman developed a hybrid breed that was completely loyal to him in the later stage, and used this half-orc as his main force, but Saruman had already fallen into darkness at that time, and felt that he It is not surrender to Sauron, but just cooperation. In fact, this is nonsense. If Sauron is not gone, he will never be able to get rid of the influence of the Dark Lord.

　　Later I thought, probably around 2950 of the third era, Saruman’s thinking had changed, and what he did was not to fight against Sauron, but to rule the world, so he accepted the allegiance of the half-orcs, but When did his idea change, I can't see it, no matter what, Saruman here will no longer be Sauron's puppet, but his final fate can only be seen in the future plot changes.
