"Grandson of Turin, son of Turgon, young Prime Minister Exelion, if you want to end this war as soon as possible, and at the same time understand the reality of the enemy, this should be a good suggestion."

A bright and convincing voice sounded at this moment, and the person who came was Gandalf with white beard and hair.

As early as a few days ago, Turgon, who was plagued by illness, fell into a coma under exhaustion.

A country cannot be without a master for a day, and Baicheng cannot be without a prime minister in power.

Therefore, at this critical moment, Exelion also temporarily took over the position of Prime Minister of Gondor from his father.

Of course, this can only be regarded as a temporary generation. After the war is over, a formal ceremony will be held.

However, Exelion did not mention this to Allen.

Because this is not something worth showing off, succession to the throne represents the death of his father.

No matter what other places look like, the family relationship of the Hu Lin family is still very good.

At this moment, the gray-robed wizard who slowly appeared from the darkness and came to the campfire, handed the reins to Aragorn who was standing beside him.

After taking out his cigarette pouch, he sat down beside Allen.

He blew out a smoke ring, turned his head and said with a smile, "Allen, it's a pleasure to meet you in this place."

This is of course something to be happy about. The fact that the three of them can meet in this place means that most of the beautiful land of the moon has returned to the embrace of the Kingdom of Gondor.

And the enemy's malice has also been cut off.

The reason why Gandalf was able to come to the crossroads at this moment was entirely because the half-orc army entrenched east of Keir Andros abandoned the besieged Varyag.

This enemy army, which had been entangled with the Rohir people, suddenly fled in the direction of the black gate like a stray dog.

This order naturally came from Sauron.

This is a chain reaction caused by the failure of the Witch King of Angmar in Osgiliath.

The only way out for this half-orc army is to escape. Is it still waiting to be made dumplings by Alan and Gandalf?
Seeing the strange behavior of the enemy, Gandalf hurriedly stopped Sengar who was about to pursue him.

The wizard is naturally worried that the enemy will lay an ambush on the road.

But with the passage of time, and with the addition of Minas Morgul, for such a long time, there has been no plan to assist the enemy.

The wise Gandalf naturally guessed that the situation of the battle had changed, and the enemy must be at a disadvantage. Otherwise, why would the half-orcs who had been fighting against him run away?
Thinking of this, the gray-robed wizard temporarily handed over the command of the army to the lord of Anorien.

And he himself drove two fast horses along Harald Road to the vicinity of the intersection.

Gandalf needs first-hand information about the battlefield before he can act differently, and his strength allows him to do so.

The Gondor soldiers guarding the perimeter naturally recognized the famous Mithrandil, so they let him come to the side of the bonfire.

While coming here, Gandalf, who has a keen hearing, heard Alan's suggestion.

From the bottom of his heart, he supported Allen's idea.

Gandalf also knew that if he chose passive defense every time he faced the enemy's provocation, it would only encourage the enemy's arrogance.

Anyone who takes the initiative to make a little resistance, even if it's just showing his fangs and waving his fist heavily.

It will make the enemy have certain doubts before attacking you next time, and the accumulation of doubts to a certain extent will damage the enemy's confidence.

For nearly two thousand years, Gandalf has always shouldered the responsibility of guiding and assisting humans and elves, allowing them to recognize the real enemy and fight against the enemy.

Over the years, Gandalf thought he had tried his best, but the way to defeat Sauron was still nowhere in sight.

In most cases, it is the free nation who barely preserves itself under the active attack of evil forces.

In such a passive situation, the exhausted Gandalf felt that he might never find a way to defeat the enemy.

Perhaps, at this time of gaining the advantage in war, actively launching an attack on the enemy can help oneself and better find opportunities for victory.

Therefore, Gandalf naturally hopes that the young Prime Minister will give it a try, even if it is the confidence to defeat Sauron,
After hearing Gandalf's words, Exelion stirred the bonfire in front of him with the branch in his hand.

At the same time as little sparks rose, his eyes gradually became firmer.

"Then let's do it like this. Since the decline of the kingdom, no army belonging to us has appeared outside the enemy's gate. Maybe before the black gate, let the enemy see our courage and faith, and let the enemy Be more cautious in your behavior, and we can have a long peace."

In the end, Exelian agreed with Allen's idea, and Lindir, who had returned from going out to collect music, did not object to this idea.

The elves are a race that loves life, but in the face of crisis, they have a kind of open-mindedness that regards death as home.

Besides, this is not the first time that the elf warriors from Eriador have appeared outside the black gate.

Soon, several people got together and discussed a detailed plan.

In order to avoid the Haradians stationed in the Morgul Valley, he launched a sneak attack from behind.

At the same time, in order to prevent the enemy from mobilizing more forces from the Harad area in the south.

In the end, Exelian dispatched an elite army in armor and stationed at the crossroads. Their number would probably be around three thousand.

In order to cooperate with the soldiers of Gondor, except for a few dwarves who are proficient in siege equipment, Allen left the troops of Philip and Legolas here to increase his own strength.

After all, there are many Haradians in the valley, and an enemy reinforcement may appear at the Mogul Pass at any time.

Although the two heirs to the throne had some complaints about not being able to reach the Black Gate, they faithfully obeyed Alan's order for the honor of the Durin family and the people of the Great Forest.

Moreover, guarding the Mogul Valley is also a great achievement for this battle, and it will definitely be eulogized in poetry.

Allen really didn't dare to let the two heirs to the throne participate in the final battle that might happen.

He has always regarded himself as an elder, but he still feels that he has to leave Thorin and Thranduil in mind, but if there is a mistake, the alliance of the three northern races may be broken in an instant.

With such a heavy loss, Alan and the two kings may not even have to be friends.

At the same time, Allen also hoped that Aragorn could stay, but the young Dunedan patriarch refused without hesitation.

The reason given by the young man was also extremely sufficient, so that Allen didn't know how to persuade him.

"My lord, do you still remember that when I was in Minas Tirith, you asked me to learn more about the way this country operates, and to pay attention to the thoughts of the people and the nobles? At this time, it is a very good opportunity. Only then can I see the essence more clearly. If I stay here, what can I observe? I can only face the dark city and worry about the situation of this battle, which is of no benefit to me .”

Allen, who wanted to say something, fell silent after hearing such words.

In the end, Aragorn's request to go to the Black Gate was agreed.

But Allen still specifically told his student that if a battle really broke out, he must stay at the rear of the team, and not to participate in the tragic battlefield just because of impulsiveness.

The era that really belongs to this young man is far from coming.

After Allen agreed, Aragorn was overjoyed, and nodded quickly to express that he would do as required.

Looking at the young man who was vigorous and unafraid of difficulties and obstacles, Allen shook his head, and found a place to rest beside the fire.

During the daytime battle, he used a lot of strength and needed to recover.

Moreover, he still needs to make some preparations for the next journey.

The time soon came to the next morning, and at some point, the dark clouds gathered in the sky had dissipated, and the bright rays of the sun once again shone on the long and narrow Ithilien.

Under the heart-warming sunshine, the entire army began to move. Legolas and Fili led their people to the bridge in front of the Morgul Valley.

The dwarves, who are proficient in construction, are going to build a simple fortification there to prevent possible attacks from the enemy

Just because the bridge is destroyed, you can't think that you have peace of mind.

For example, the surveillance towers, the walls to protect oneself, and the traps to ambush the enemy always need to be repaired.

Drake "The Generosity" of the nobleman of Gondor will lead a part of the soldiers to cooperate with Fili to complete the work.

And the "fearless" Antonis will arrive here on the big ship of the Gondor fleet in a day or two, and he and his army will also become a force to defend here.

As for Legolas, he brought his own people to get familiar with the surrounding environment.

Which forests are easy to hide people, and which passes are likely to have small-scale enemy soldiers, these are the terrains that the elf prince needs to be familiar with.

Exelion also left several members of the Ithilien commando to assist Legolas in completing the investigation.

Then the troops going to the black gate are mainly composed of three forces.

Allen's personal guards, 300 Dúnedain and more than [-] heavy cavalry.

Lindir has more than 2000 elf cavalry under his command.

Exelion, the prime minister of Gondor, gathered nearly [-] Gondor soldiers.

This included the defenders who had previously defended Osgiliath, as well as the Gondor soldiers who had been supported from Pelakir.

When the dew began to evaporate, the ready-to-go army marched northward along the crossroads.

They had to reach the east of Keir Andros first, where they joined Sengar's army and the Gondor soldiers led by Alger.

Let's take down the fort in the center of the ship island first.

The [-] kilometers to the north of the intersection is relatively easy to walk, because before this war, this land still belonged to the Kingdom of Gondor.

Moreover, in the early days of the war, members of the Ithilien commando also used the outpost here as their base camp to fight wits and bravery with the Uruks who were raging here.

And this place has a name more familiar to the people of Gondor, that is, the Window of the Setting Sun.

This army of more than [-] people camped and rested for one night near the Sunset Window, which is very close to Kaier Andros.

Standing on a higher hillside, one can even see the Rohir people galloping on the distant land clearly.

They are guarding the direction of the black door.

It may be because powerful allies are by their side, so except for the sentry soldiers, most of the other soldiers rested very peacefully this night.

Even if there was a dark and dense forest near their east side, and the shadow mountains with desolate mist farther away, it didn't affect the soldiers' belief in wanting to move forward.

In the days that followed, better news spread throughout the team.

It was the garrison who had been sticking to Ker Andros surrendered, and the Varyags raised the white flag without hesitation when they saw the mighty army coming along Harald Road.

The leaders of the Varyags did not want to face the siege of 2 people, and they were also surrounded by several times the enemy, and they stood firm for a long time.

The most important thing is that they have become a lone army. Instead of dying miserably when they are out of ammunition and food, why not leave their own lives?
They came here only to plunder.

These Gondor soldiers who no longer needed to besiege Kel Androth, led by Alger, also joined the army to crusade against the Black Gate.

The weapons and armor of the Varyag also increased the combat effectiveness of this unit.

Their number is about [-] people, including Anorien's soldiers and reinforcements from the western region of Gondor.

And when Senger learned about Allen's thoughts, he chose his friends who supported him without hesitation, and led the four thousand warriors under his command to join the team.

After Allen left, some Rohan lords led their people to Sengar.

The descendants of Eorl were valiant and far-sighted, and lived so near Mordor.

Most Rohirers are active in combating the enemy.

And so far, the number of the army preparing to go to Heimen has swelled to more than 5000.

Another piece of good news is that Saruman, who was "resting" in Minas Tirith, also came to the team for some reason.

Although the white-robed wizard looked at Ellen and Gandalf with disgust, but the army in front of him with a clean and well-moralized army still made the white-robed wizard shake a little bit in his heart.

He originally thought that in this era, it should be impossible for any army to dare to challenge Sauron's majesty.

Only today, a coalition army assembled by Allen and Exelian made Saruman overturn his previous thoughts.

It was precisely because of this that Saruman rushed here from Baicheng without hesitating to use magic, and the distance was more than 100 kilometers.

Soon, the whole army was on the road to the Black Gate again.
