Chapter 174 Coping
At this time, the war between Gondor and Mordor was on the verge of a full-scale outbreak.

The pirates from the port of Umbar, after defeating the ships of Gondor on the sea, began to attack the Gondor people living in Lebennin wildly, and concentrated their main forces to besiege Pelakir.

At the same time, small groups of warships were continuously dispatched to plunder the coastal residents of Belfalas, preventing the lords of nearby fiefs from supporting Minas Tirith.

Ever since the Kingdom of Gondor experienced a "family war" and the baptism of the "Great Plague", it has been difficult to maintain control over the sea.

Coupled with the many wars with the Dongyi people, and Mordor was watching from the sidelines, this resulted in Gondor having no extra strength to develop the strength of the navy.

Therefore, the fleet controlled by the Gondor Navy at this time is simply unable to confront the Umbar pirates head-on. After all, the ships in the hands of these pirates are tantamount to inheriting from the hands of the Gondor rebels in disguise.

Therefore, in this war on the sea, the Kingdom of Gondor was at an absolute disadvantage, and most of the ships retreated to Pelakir, where they made their last resistance.

The Haralds, who came from afar, were stationed in the eastern city of Osgilias at this time, and with the cooperation of the orcs, they started to restore the huge bridge across the river connecting the east and west regions.

Once the bridge is repaired, it's time for them to launch a general attack.

At this time, guarding the western part of Osgiliath was Exelion, the son of Prime Minister Turgon. He led the troops of Minas Tirith and prepared to defend the western part of the city, but his The strength of the troops is far inferior to that of Harald.

And Kel Andros fell again. Even with the help of Saruman and the Dunlanders, endless enemies still captured the island fortress in a short period of time.

Among them, the well-equipped and powerful Varyags killed the Dunlanders in the Black Barbarian land with heavy casualties.

This made the Black Barbarians, who had suffered heavy losses, decisively abandon their boss Saruman and leave this cruel battlefield, and the disgraced Saruman was also prepared to return to Orthank under this blow.

In the end, under Lord Turgon's all-out efforts to persuade him to stay, the white-robed wizard reluctantly stayed.

But it is gratifying that the elite troops of Rohan and Minas Tirith stopped the enemy from crossing the river in time and controlled the battlefield on the plain near Kerandros.

But even so, everyone can know that this battle is not as easy as imagined.

As long as the Haradians break through Osgiliath's defenses, or the Umbar pirates capture Pelakir, this fragile balance will be broken in an instant.

You must know that the current Pelennor Plains are not protected by Ramas Ehor. As long as the enemy gathers enough troops on the plains, they can rely on their superior forces and use the siege of Minas Tirith to force Gondor and Rohan, start a decisive battle with himself.

At this moment, Mordor's reinforcements are still gathering in Ithilien, the land of the moon, and even the Dongyi people have begun to appear.

Turgon, Prime Minister of Gondor at this moment, naturally didn't know that most of Mordor's army had gone out to the Brownfields to intercept his reinforcements.

This very old man is still worried about how to resist the overwhelming number of enemies on the plain if he loses the river defense line.

Under this worry, the old man's body is getting worse day by day, and recently he can't even sleep well.

Even if another well-known gray-robed wizard came to his city, it still couldn't bring him enough sense of security.

Moreover, after the wizard stayed in Minas Tirith for a while, he asked for a good horse and left the city, heading towards Rohan.

And the behavior of the wizard had to make some desperate people start to worry about the outcome of the war, and some people had already started dragging their families to the distant valley to avoid disaster.

The one who left the White City was naturally Gandalf with a hard life. Even though the wizard had traveled to most of Eriador, he did not ask any traces of the Lord of the Golden Flower in the human settlement that welcomed him. Of course I can't ask.

Because Jinhua has already gone to Valinor to report the news of Sauron's comeback again, and it will be many years before he returns again.

And Gandalf, who was disheartened, had to go to Linton to get some support from Cirdan. After all, the relationship between the two of them was pretty good, even though Gandalf refused to become the leader of the White Society.

But Gandalf, who had just arrived in Mythrond, heard an exciting news, that is, the elves of Linton had gathered and headed to the valley under the leadership of Cirdan, preparing to support the gangster who was in danger. Duo.

This kind of information made the anxious Gandalf calm down as if he had taken a reassurance. With the help of the elves, at least Gondor can turn the crisis into safety.

After getting the news, Gandalf set off from Mythrond non-stop, walked to the Shire, and then set foot on the North-South Road, from there all the way back to Minas Tirith. However, after he arrived at the White City, But it was learned that no one saw the reinforcements of the elves.

Gandalf, who is extremely experienced in field travel, guessed the troops led by Cirdan in a very short period of time, and it is very likely that he chose the path of Rovanian, because that side has been occupied by a new human kingdom. Occupied, there is no threat of evil minions around.

That path is arguably the best option right now.

On the North-South Highway, some roads have been submerged by floods, and it is actually difficult for large-scale troops to pass through.

Guessing some truths, Gandalf set off from the White City again and rushed towards Rovanian. He wanted to see why the speed of the elf troops was so slow.

Because even if they pass through Rovanian, the elves should have arrived long ago, and the current situation in Gondor can't afford to wait anymore.

And when Gandalf ran all the way and entered the territory of Rohan, he happened to catch up with the Rohir people in the east and migrated towards Edoras.

The gray-robed wizard, who also has an extraordinary reputation in Rohan, easily learned the news of the half-orcs stationed in the northern plateau from the herdsmen.

Gandalf knew without much thought that the goal of this orc army was naturally to intercept the reinforcements crossing the river.

This series of events exhausted Gandalf physically and mentally after running for several months. However, the gray-robed wizard's determination to resist the darkness was unwavering. The charge is on the front line.

In order to deal with the half-orc army on the northern plateau, Gandalf thought that the place he should go to next was Edoras, which was located not far from Serbian Valley.

Gandalf knew that he needed a flexible cavalry unit to deal with the current situation, and the Eorl family living in the Golden Temple could provide him with help, but this required his efforts.

However, when the gray-robed wizard came to the lofty Meduseld, the first thing that attracted his attention was not the gate with jewels and gold inlaid with patterns of birds and animals, nor was it the gate woven with Eorl and Ferrarov. tapestry, but the dark cloud in the setting sun.

Gandalf felt the evil of the great enemy from that dark cloud, and it was obvious that the army supporting Gondor was attacked by the enemy in that place.

This made him, who was waiting to be interviewed, even more anxious, when a moth just happened to come to his side.

And under this dark cloud, under the guidance of Nazgul, countless half-orcs marched in the direction of Beihetao.

Under the protection of dark magic, the marching speed of these half-orcs has been enhanced unprecedentedly.

It's just that Snaga's discipline is extremely poor, and from time to time some trivial things will cause waves of chaos.

And often at this time, it is those more powerful Uruks who come out to intimidate the scene, allowing the team to move forward smoothly.

And in the half-orc team, there are also thousands of gray wargs mixed in. They run silently in the half-orc army, and from time to time they can get some Snaga corpses as a tooth offering. food.

The human cavalry led by Allen joined the elf cavalry at this moment.

To their north is the dark cloud covering the sky, to the south are countless wolves, to the west is the endless river, and the only road is the east, but everyone knows that it is closer to Sauron's base camp and is a dead end.

"Master Cirdan, the road ahead is blocked. The road to cross the river is blocked by thousands of orc elite soldiers, and countless wargs are heading towards us. The enemy, I'm afraid he has already grasped our precise location and sent his minions to attack us."

Allen spoke very quickly and told the current situation to Cirdan, the Lord of the Gray Harbor who came to him on horseback. In fact, Allen already had a plan.

On the way here, he targeted the Nazgul in the sky and used his ability to check the situation of the entire enemy army.

At this moment, the tens of thousands of orcs galloping out of the black forest are far from blocking the way for the cavalry to go north, at least in the area close to the Anduin River, there are no enemies.

After all, the number of half-orcs is still too small, and the brown land is a vast, barren plain, not only without trees and grass, but even without broken trees and residual stones.

Under such terrain, the cavalry with high mobility still has the initiative on the battlefield, and Allen's idea is to take all the cavalry back to the north, and first get rid of the crisis of being flanked by left and right.

But if you want to complete such a move, you must be fast, very fast, because the wolves running from the south are extremely fast. If you are entangled by them, it will be impossible to leave at that time.

Cirdan, who heard the news, thought for a while, and asked Allen with a smile: "Little friend, what are your thoughts?"

Even the cavalry of the elves accounted for more than two-thirds of the entire team, but humans and dwarves were also indispensable combat forces in the team.

And Allen alone represents the northern humans, the Lone Mountain Dwarves, and the Silvan elves of the Black Forest. The Cirdan people think that they must seek Allen's opinion when making a decision.

And at such a critical moment, the thoughts of the two of them completely determined the fate of the entire team.

"I do have some ideas. In fact, I have obtained part of the information on the north side. Now there are no enemies on the east bank of the Anduin River. We can pass through there quickly and return to Los Lorien to get Gala Zimin's help, Lord Cirdan, what do you think of this plan?"

Although Alan's mood at this time was far from impetuous, he was indeed unable to maintain an elegant behavior like Cirdan, so he spoke extremely fast at this time, and he did not pay as much attention to his wording as usual.

"This is indeed a very good idea, but I have some other opinions, I hope you can refer to it, my friend."

Childan first praised Allen's plan, and then expressed his thoughts.

"Alan, your thinking is very stable, but have you ever thought that the Galaz people are also separated from us by a wide river, and in a hurry, it is difficult for them to gather a decent team in a short time?" Great army, come to help us fight, of course we can continue to go north and return to your territory, where we can borrow more strength."

This sentence also reached Alan's heart, and his original plan was the same. If Rose Lorien's support was not timely enough, then the army in the kingdom would be mobilized, and the dwarves of the Lonely Mountain and the elves of the Black Forest would be notified. Fight your enemies in the Anduin Valley.

Allen believed that if he could support such a large orc army in the area of ​​the Golden Mandarin River, then he would naturally achieve the goal of supporting Gondor, and it didn't matter whether he had to go to Minas Tirith in person.

"Actually, our situation is not as dangerous as it seems, because our real enemy is not the tens of thousands of half-orcs behind us, because even if they have the protection of the magic cloud, they will never catch up with us. It is these wolves from the south that stand in our way."

As he spoke, Cirdan looked towards the black spots that were getting closer to the south, as if he was counting the number on the opposite side.

"I think you have seen the terrain of this wasteland, Alan. It is completely our home field, and the only threat is those wolves running towards us. I observed them just now, and their strength is actually not to be feared." , is nothing more than a bluff under the blessing of evil magic."

Speaking of this, Cirdan stopped talking, because his meaning had been expressed quite clearly.

Allen also looked towards the south. In fact, among humans, his eyesight was already one of the best, but under the setting sun, he couldn't count the number of wolves at all.

But Cirdan's words made Allen think of another possibility. As the Lord of the Gray Harbor said, if he can kill the agile and quick warg, then his side will occupy the battle in the brownfield. Absolute initiative.

What's more, with a large number of Lambas, they don't need to pay attention to the supply problem in a short period of time, and the elves can sleep while driving.

With such an advantage, it seems that this battle does not need to break out at all.

Alan, who understood something, looked at Cirdan with a smile on his face, and said firmly: "Then my lord, I think I will go with you."
