Chapter 0291 Rohan War (ten)(2/3)
"Okay, Tibers, you're so annoying! People have said there's a way!"
Feeling the annoying little bear Tibers seemed to want to chat, Annie quickly pinched the other person's neck hard to prevent him from coming out and annoyed him. Isn't it just doing something? What's the big deal?

At this time, the originally hazy sky has become brighter and brighter. On the prairie, since there is no barrier to refracted light by mountains, the sky will often light up a little earlier than other places, and you can also see the sun rise from the horizon earlier.
At this time, the wizard Gandalf, who was wearing a sexy white wizard robe but not much strength, was riding on the wide back of his divine horse, Jeying, and a large group of Rohan cavalry with a population of about four or five thousand, anxiously accelerated towards the direction of the Holy Helmet Valley.
There is not much time left now. They must arrive before the first ray of sunlight in the morning shines on the walls of the Horn Castle in the Horn Valley, and then launch an attack on the powerful orcs who besieged the Horn Castle in order to rescue the deadly, old and confused Cavalry King of Hiondon!
"Gandalff, how many powerful orcs were there in the Holy Helmet Valley that participated in the siege of the Horn Castle?!"
At the forefront of the marching cavalry, Rohan's former third marshal Iomo was holding a heavy rifle in one hand, and asked Gandalf, a white-robed wizard riding a white horse, worriedly.
Iomo must have the responsibility to urgently rush to the Holy Helmet Valley, save the king of Rohan, and save the people of Rohan who are taking refuge in the Horn Castle!
Even before, when King Hiyotun was controlled by Saruman, the other party had actually expelled them and did not revoke their titles and territory, this could not change their original intention!
This is why even though Iomo had no title or position on him during this period, he was still wandering around, committed to protecting Rohan and eliminating small groups of powerful orcs or those Denland barbarians.
However, it is also necessary to ask for the enemy's intelligence.
Now Iomo himself did not go to count the specific number of people. Gandalf was too anxious to urge him...
They all gathered at a gathering point according to the request of the wizard Gandalf, and rushed to the Holy Helmet Valley. He just knew that about four or five thousand could participate in the battle this time?
There are a lot of Rohan cavalry of four or five thousand, but when they really fight, if the number of enemies exceeds the expected number, this cavalry will not be enough! Therefore, Iomo must first ask some things, such as the enemy's intelligence, and I believe this wizard may have known more?
"Or, are we enough reinforcements now? Do you want to wait for a while?"
Iomu felt that the Horn Fortress in the Holy Helmet Valley, the castle that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, should be able to last for at least half a month or more. At most, the strong orcs only arrived at the Holy Helmet Valley yesterday. They could not have captured the Horn Fortress so quickly!
For the fortress built by the previous kings of Rohan, Eom actually had a mysterious confidence like King Xiyoudon. He also did not believe that strong orcs could easily break through the fortress with powerful defense! At least not for a short period of time!
Because of this, Iomu felt that they could actually wait for a while, and should wait for another ten or eight days. When they gather or recruit about 10,000 cavalrymen, it would be too late to go to the Holy Helmet Valley?
"I don't know! Maybe it's 30,000, maybe 50,000, or maybe more?"
"But, please believe me, Iom, we really don't have much time to wait. The Horn Castle is in danger. You must rescue your king as soon as possible, otherwise Rohan will be really finished!"
Gandalf didn't know how many powerful orcs there were, he didn't know very well. He only knew that the underground of Aisinger was still producing a large army of strong orcs. Every time he was delayed, the enemy's strength increased by one point, and they themselves weakened by one point!
If we add the savages of Denland who were driven to the grassland by the so-called United Kingdom of Alicia, the enemy will have tens of thousands, which is something that no one can tell!
Therefore, Gandalf dared not delay for a second now, and he had to lead reinforcements to arrive in time!
“…”
Iomo turned around blankly to look at Gandalf, the wizard who was standing with him. He didn't know what to say.
Let them, the three or five thousand cavalry that they had gathered temporarily, fight against more than ten times the number of enemies? Those strong orc army of 30,000 to 50,000. Although Iomo did not give up and was not afraid, he suddenly felt a burst of sadness.
Now, he has begun to be skeptical about whether he can defeat the enemy...
"Iomo, we must all rush to the Holy Helmet Valley anyway!"
"Even if we can't defeat those strong orcs, it's good that we can appear on the periphery and restrain the enemy and prevent them from concentrating on siege!"
Whether you can beat those strong orcs orcs or not, Gandalf has a reason to do this!
This was just as he had promised Aragon before, and on the morning of the fifth day, he led reinforcements and appeared in the first light of dawn?
Even if at that time, their cavalry could only wander around the periphery and occasionally rush to the enemy troops who attacked the city, they could also let the people in the horn fort know that they were not fighting alone, and reinforcements were helping them, which would at least play a huge role in boosting morale, right?
And now, Gandalf calculated the time. Although the sunlight had already come out, it had just shone behind their cavalry. Looking in the distance, the mountains of the Holy Helmet Valley were already faintly looking. When they arrived at the Holy Helmet Valley, they should be able to appear in the sight of the Holy Helmet Warriors when the first light shone on the guards of the Holy Helmet Warriors on time, right?
"Wait! What is that?!"
The closer he got to the Holy Helmet Valley, the more uneasy Gandalf felt.
Because, now he could not hear any shouts of war or the sound of weapons colliding? Although the distance is a little far now, it is impossible to be so quiet, right? Gandalf's hearing is very good!
Moreover, at this time, I just saw a few curling smoke rising from the direction of the Horn Fort? Why is there such black smoke? Could it be that the Horn Fort was burned?
This made Gandalf's heart skip and subconsciously thought: The Horn Fortress may have been captured by the powerful orcs? According to the enemy's marching speed, the opponent was the Holy Helmet Valley that he had just arrived last night? Why did he capture it in one night?
But if this is not the case, why is there so calm over there?
As for the idea that the defenders of the Horn Fort might have beaten the strong orcs away, Gandalf didn't even dare to think about it!
He knew better than anyone else that in the horn castle of the Rohanate, in addition to the elves reinforcements invited to help, there were only one thousand infantry defenders from the original Holy Helmet Valley, and the one or two thousand infantry and cavalry when they retreated from Idoras! If Hiyoton temporarily recruited all militias capable of fighting from the people and the mighty people, the total would not be more than six or seven thousand!
Just this mob, it would be a delusion to defeat the tens of thousands of powerful troops of Aisinger and Denland!
"Iomo, I'm going to speed up. You guys will follow you later! I'm going to go over and see what's going on over there!?"
Gandalf, who felt increasingly uneasy, decided not to wait for the cavalrymen of Iomo and others, to go over and see the situation first.
After all, he was riding under his crotch, the Divine Horse. Its speed was much faster than those of Rohan's cavalry who were politely polite! This was one of the reasons why he was able to find Iomer in just five days and recruit so many cavalrymen from many places in Rohan to come to assist the Holy Helmet Valley!
So, in a hurry, after he said to the Iomo who was still thinking about how to fight the Holy Helmet Valley, he hurriedly slapped the Jieying under him, causing the divine horse to start speeding up again, and threw away the cavalry from the brigade, and rode one by one, and galloped straight towards the Holy Helmet Valley in the distance!
...
"Hello, dear Queen Ofina of the United Kingdom of Alicia!"
"I am Xiyoudon, the king of Rohan Cavalry. I sincerely thank you for your help this time. This kindness we Rohan will remember forever!"
"Please believe me, we Rohan will definitely repay you!"
At this time, outside the high walls of the Horn Castle in the Holy Helmet Valley, before the main army of the Kingdom of Alicia, King Hieuson, wearing exquisite golden armor, quickly rolled off his saddle before he ran to the tall unicorn, came to the pretty figure who had long stood under a huge flag of the Kingdom of Alicia, and bowed respectfully and bowed respectfully.
At this time, along with him were his guard generals, several relying on knights, his niece Iowin, Aragon, Jinli, and the elves Leglas.
The battle outside is basically over now.
The soldiers of the Kingdom of Alicia did not kill all the powerful orcs and the Denlanders, because they had abandoned their shields and weapons, and were driven together to a small valley inside the Holy Helmet Valley, and were guarded by some musketeers and the infantrymen of the Dendan Army, waiting for the soon-to-be-trial judgment of the winners.
That's right, those of them, whether they were the strong orcs or the Denland barbarians, chose to surrender!
Just after Aisinger's white-robed wizard Saruman surrendered to the will of a little witch, and agreed to accept certain conditions and leave, these powerful orcs who had been beaten to the death as if they were affected by some influence, began to abandon their weapons and surrender on their knees, allowing the soldiers of the Kingdom of Alicia to drive them to a canyon to wait for disposal.
The Denlanders who came here with the powerful orcs, saw that the powerful orcs were beaten to kneel down and surrender, were even more cautious and had already been beaten to death in Duneld, so they naturally put down their weapons together, and were detained and driven into the valley with the powerful orcs.
"We Alicia do not need any reward from your Rohanate! I just hope that you will still get the promise you made! King of Cavalry of Hieuson?"
The reason why their main legion of Alicia rushed to the Holy Helmet Valley was not to repay the Rohans' wealth! Besides, the United Kingdom of Alicia is now very rich and does not require any money or treasures! What they really need is actually the entire Rohan Kingdom!
“…”
After watching this young, beautiful, powerful, and capable person who can summon angels in silence for a while, Hieusun sighed and nodded.
He knew what the other party was referring to, and of course he did not forget the promise he had made in the palace of Idoras.
The Rohans value commitment and know how to repay kindness!
"Don't worry! I will keep my promise, and we Rohan will join you in the United Kingdom of Alicia!"
The Rohanate will definitely join. As long as it is still the king, no one can question this!
However, some things need to be negotiated carefully by the senior management of both sides at the right time! Their Rohan Cavalry Kingdom was just joining the United Kingdom of Alicia, and was not directly annexed by the other party! At that time, he hoped that Youdon would still be the king, but he would respect this Ofina as the queen of the joint alliance!
Of course, there will be a detailed discussion among the specialists at that time, but it is not now, nor here.
"By the way, can I ask, what are you going to deal with those strong orcs and Denlanders?"
After seeing the ceremony, Xiyoudon looked straight to the valley in the distance, the strong orcs and the captives of the Denlanders who were squatting on the ground, drooping their heads, looked dark.
"And I also found that you are not too strict in guarding them? But there are too many of them, so you are not afraid..."
The prisoners inside were a bunch of unstable factors and must be properly handled!
Before coming here again, Hipton had roughly counted that the mixed army of powerful orcs and Denlanders who came to attack the Holy Helmet Valley had a scale of at least 40,000 to 50,000!
Apart from the three or five thousand who died during the siege last night, and the more than 10,000 enemies who were killed by soldiers from the Kingdom of Alicia around the morning, there are still more than 20,000 left and squatting in the valley as prisoners!
With so many prisoners, they sent less than 2,000 troops to guard the valley entrance? If they suddenly went crazy and rushed out, Xiyoudon would not dare to think about the disastrous consequences!
"Ha! You don't have to worry too much about this."
"Because, their master Saruman has been burned to death by my master! Even the control of these powerful orcs has been obtained by my master! So, now they are just a group of sheep who will not resist!"
After looking at the prisoners in the distance, Ofina said inadvertently.
It is claimed that the white-robed wizard Saruman has been burned to death. This is the explanation of her master Anne when she came here through magic. Although she is not aware of her master's plan, Onina just needs to execute it unconditionally.
Actually, to be more precise, these powerful orcs in front of her can actually follow her Queen Ofina's orders! However, she doesn't want to do this for the time being.
After all, the Rohans were killed by these powerful orcs, and those who died under the army of Aesinger Saruman were at least tens of thousands. But now, these beasts suddenly changed into flags of their Kingdom of Alicia and then became friendly forces. She was a little worried that Xiyoudon and his people might not be able to accept it?
Therefore, she decided to ease the matter of enlisting the orcs and the savages of Denland.
"What? Saruman died?!"
Hearing this amazing fact, Hieuton was shocked instantly!
You know, the white-robed wizard Saruman is an old monster who has lived for almost three thousand years! It is said that since the Third Era, the other party has been active in the Middle Earth world. From the period of the Arno Kingdom to the present, it can almost be said that he has lived to witness the entire Third Era of Middle Earth!
And now, the executioner, the evil white-robed wizard who killed his son and hated him to the bone, died inexplicably?!
"He was burned by your master... by that powerful little witch?!"
To be continued...
