Chapter 1824 If we are destined to die

"Father."

Faramir entered the chamber.

Denethor was sitting at a long dining table, stuffing food into his mouth without looking up.

Faramir sighed and said, "I'm sorry, I don't want to treat you like this, but your behavior yesterday was too crazy, I can't not do it."

"Hmph!" Denethor threw away the food in his hands, and said to Faramir with a ferocious face: "You have grown up, your wings have become stiff! You have already learned to rebel!"

Faramir said: "No, my lord father, I am not trying to rebel. If you are already sober, I am willing to hand over the command to you, and I am willing to accept any disposal from you!"

Denethor said with a sneer, "I've always been sober!"

Faramir frowned and said, "However, you did something rude to the white-robed mage of the Holy White Council yesterday."

Denethor said indifferently: "So what? Faramir, why don't you understand that Gandalf wants to seize power from me!"

"Father, Middle-earth is at stake, and we shouldn't be entangled in power struggles!"

"Without power, we are nothing!" Denethor thumped the table heavily and shouted loudly: "If we are nothing, then it would be better to let the whole world perish!"

Faramir looked at his father in astonishment.

For the first time, he realized that his father was not crazy, and this was his father's truest thought.

Denethor didn't care about the life and death of civilians at all. In his heart, he only had power.

Faramir said painfully: "I'm sorry, father, I'm afraid you still have to stay here for a while..."

Denethor said angrily: "Faramir, you are such an idiot! You are far worse than your brother."

Faramir said sadly: "Yes, father, I am far worse than my brother. But do you know, my brother died for the whole world of Middle-earth! He was called the Son of Gondor by Aragorn! This is The highest honor! If I say that I am much worse than him, it is because I am not as brave as him! However, as long as I have the opportunity, I will definitely not hesitate!"

With that said, Faramir turned around and walked out of the chamber, leaving behind Denethor who was roaring towards the door.

Preparations for the battle in Baicheng continued.

It was night time.

The first goblin troops landed in large ships on the deserted harbour.

The human scouts in charge of the investigation immediately passed the news back to Baicheng, and Faramir immediately ordered the whole city to be under martial law and prepare for battle.

Batch after batch of half-orc armies poured out from the port.

Every building they passed was destroyed and burned.

Fortunately, Faramir had evacuated the residents and troops there in advance, otherwise, it would have been a situation of heavy casualties.

The Orcs soon assembled on the plain outside the White City.

Standing on the city wall of Baicheng and looking from a distance, it was a dense mass of darkness, with a hundred thousand troops!

And, it's not over yet.

There are more monster troops coming from the direction of the port.

All the soldiers guarding Baicheng tensed up.

They had never seen such a war scene.

And these half-orc soldiers are just a small part of the demon king Sauron's army!

It is conceivable how many monster armies the Demon Lord Sauron has created in the past 70 years!
He has learned the lessons from the failure of the previous battles and raised the number of troops by several levels!
"Can we hold it?"

Even Faramir himself felt a little emboldened.

Gandalf said in a deep voice: "If you can guard it, you must guard it. If you can't guard it, you must guard it! We have to wait for the reinforcements from the Kingdom of Rohan to arrive, and we must wait for the Lord Dragon Slayer to arrive! As long as we hold on for three days ! We have hope!"

Faramir nodded, "That's right, teacher! Come, help Gondor to light the beacon for help! The Kingdom of Gondor welcomes any military force to enter Gondor's territory! Let's resist the invasion of the monster army!"

As a legitimate human kingdom, any other military force entering without permission is tantamount to an invasion.

However, when the beacon tower is lit, any military force will be regarded as an alliance!

That night, the monster army did not launch a siege battle.

The soldiers in Baicheng spent the night in fear.

On the other side, Theoden, the ruling king of Rohan, personally summoned troops and marched towards Isinger's territory in a mighty manner.

He brought a full fifty thousand troops.

There are too many troops to march in a hurry, and supplies are needed. Therefore, even if Theoden summoned them very much, there is no better way.

He roughly estimated that he would be able to reach the Tower of Essinger tonight and join Aragorn and the others.

However, it will take at least three more days to reach Baicheng.

If Baicheng can hold on during these three days, that's pretty good. Their two armies can form a joint force. Even if they can't repel the large number of orcs, they can at least hold out until Lord Dragon Slayer returns.

However, if Baicheng couldn't hold on...then the 5-odd army he brought would be moths to the flame.

However, even so, Theoden resolutely led his soldiers to speed up.

This battle is not only related to the survival of the Kingdom of Gondor, but also to the survival of the Kingdom of Rohan, and even the entire Middle-earth world!
It was at noon that day.

The magic army outside Baicheng launched a siege battle.

One hundred thousand demon troops rushed towards the walls of the White City, and Gandalf and Faramir led the soldiers of the White City to launch a heroic counterattack!

The flames of war have completely spread!
And at this time, an army of monsters with a strength of [-] soldiers also ushered in the Gushan River Valley!

The army of these monsters attacked the Valley King City crazily.

The city walls of the River Valley King City are very high and the city defenses are also very strong. However, it is difficult for them to hold on in the face of an army of [-] monsters.

"Your Majesty! Those half-orcs are carrying siege engines! Our city walls are about to be breached!"

A soldier covered in blood ran up to a middle-aged man wearing a steel crown and eagerly reported.

This middle-aged man wearing a steel crown is the third generation king of the river valley, Brand.

He is the grandson of Bard the Dragon Hunter, the son of Barn!

Although Xufeng once said that Bard and Barn were responsible for hunting Smaug, neither Bard nor Barn dared to call themselves dragon slayers.

Therefore, people call them dragon hunters.

Seventy years have passed, Bard has long since passed away, and Barn also passed away more than ten years ago, and the current King of the Valley is Brand.

Brand looked up at the half-orcs all over the mountains and plains, and said sadly: "My grandfather and father used to follow Lord Dragon Slayer to fight bloody battles on this land. I can't bury their glory!"

As he said that, he pulled out the sword from his waist and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, come with me and charge towards the gap in the city wall! If we are destined to die, then let our death come vigorously!"
