After leaving Lothlorien, Russell was in a good mood. The world in front of him took on a new look. The sky was bluer, the water was clearer, and even Gandalf's robe was whiter.
The last one is not an illusion. Gandalf's robe has indeed turned white. It was given by Galadriel and put on Gandalf's own hands.
Two trips to the elven territory made Russell deeply understand that he and the elves were not compatible. This disagreement had nothing to do with him. It came from the elves themselves, who were arrogant, defiant, and above the top. Especially Galadriel, who had always been in trouble. Look at people through their nostrils, for fear that others will not know how beautiful her nostrils are!
That is to say, she was lucky and Russell failed to draw her character card, otherwise she would have become famous all over Middle-earth in a matter of minutes.
"Frodo, Aragorn, our journey may need to be changed."
Gandalf said as he rode on his white horse, which was still a gift from Galadriel.
For the rest, there were two hobbits, one for each, and one for each of Aragorn, Legolas, and others. Russell doesn't, Galadriel thinks he has the Nightmare and doesn't need another mount.
Russell thought so too. A few ponies were ugly, but there was no way that Nightmare was handsome, so he wouldn't take them for free.
These were Russell's sour words because he couldn't eat the grapes. Although the horses were not unicorns, they were rare breeds that could not be found for thousands of miles. They were born to be extraordinary and handsome. It was said that they had unicorn blood.
Don't ask why female unicorns give birth to hybrids. The reasons are very complicated, and male unicorns have not yet understood them.
"Gandalf, what do you mean by changing the course, changing the direction to Mordor?" Frodo asked.
"No, we can't go to Mordor for the time being. Isengard's orc army has invaded the Kingdom of Rohan. We have to go to the royal capital of Edoras first..."
"Isengard's army attacked the Kingdom of Rohan?" Aragorn's complexion suddenly changed. The Kingdom of Rohan is an ally of Gondor. The south and the north work together to fight against Mordor. If the Kingdom of Rohan falls, Gondor will be unable to stand alone.
The moment the holy sword was reforged, Aragorn was no longer a carefree ranger. Fate and glory forced him to face his identity as the heir of Gondor.
"Yes……"
Gandalf's face was solemn, and he told everyone the reason for his dispute with Celeborn.
Mordor and Isengard took action at the same time. Sauron blocked Mount Doom and gathered his troops to prepare for action. Isengard, under the control of Saruman, started a violent army, created a powerful orc army, and drove straight in to slaughter the people of the King of Rohan.
King Théoden of the Kingdom of Rohan was controlled by Saruman, and Isengard's army pressed on the border. However, Celeborn refused to save him. He knew that the Kingdom of Rohan would be defeated and was unwilling to send troops to support him.
Gandalf could not accuse Celeborn of anything. Just like Elrond refused to place the Ring in Rivendell, both lords were unwilling to cause harm to themselves and bring harm to the elves.
"Gandalf, shall we transfer to Edoras, the capital of Rohan?" Aragorn asked Gandalf, but looked at Frodo. The core of the Ring Guard team is the ring bearer, and Frodo's must be respected. Opinion.
Aragorn is not optimistic about the victory of the Kingdom of Rohan, because Isengard is located in the northwest corner of Rohan and is almost undefended. The orc army is pressing down on the border. Rohan cannot even fight a decent blocking battle, and the royal capital is even more shaky.
"I...I'll make the decision?"
Frodo held the Supreme Lord of the Rings and was stared at by Gandalf and Aragorn. He was a little at a loss. His eyes wandered when he saw Russell. His eyes suddenly lit up and he asked: "Russell, if it were you, what would you choose?"
"As for me... I should choose to go to the Kingdom of Rohan first."
Russell frowned and thought seriously: "Although the decapitation tactic of sending the Supreme Lord of the Rings to Mount Doom is good, Sauron is so cunning that he must be wary and the success rate is not high. We must find some cannon fodder to divert attention. The elves and dwarves choose to stay out, and the cannon fodder can only be humans..."
Aragorn: "..."
Gandalf: "..."
"One Rohan alone is not enough. They can't even stop Sauron's minion Isengard, let alone contain Mordor." Russell continued: "So, we must first help Rohan get through this crisis, and then Support Aragorn on the throne of Gondor, gather the troops of the two kingdoms to confront Mordor, and force Sauron to divide his forces. At this time, the Fellowship of the Ring will go to Mount Doom to destroy the Supreme Lord of the Rings, and the success rate will be increased by at least 20%."
Aragorn: "..."
Gandalf: "..."
"Russell, Russell, what are you talking about? I don't understand!" Frodo swallowed hard.
Russell patted Frodo on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid. To achieve great things, you must have the awareness that all people are pawns. Bet on the fate of two kingdoms and increase the winning rate by 20%. It is well worth a try. Of course, I am just talking. , it’s up to you to decide how you choose!”
Frodo:"……"
There was silence in the air. Gandalf wiped his staff and wondered whether he should give it to Russell. If he left it alone, it would definitely be a disaster in the future.
Aragorn and Boromir, the two Gondorians, widened their eyes, their chests heaved violently, and they also wanted to give Russell a hard blow.
"Why do you want to see what I do?"
Russell scanned the crowd and said shamelessly: "What I said is right. It is impossible to defeat Anti Sauron without casualties. All of them sacrifice the lives of some people in exchange for the happiness of others. According to what I said, there may be less sacrifices. Some."
You are right, but this is the line style of the Demon Lord Sauron. We are positive characters, and we must have the sunshine.
Gandalf coughed lightly, raised his staff high, and said righteously: "Everyone, Saruman's orc army is bloodthirsty and cruel, and has no humanity at all. Once they capture Rohan, they will definitely massacre the people of Rohan. , we cannot sit idly by."
"Gandalf is right!" Aragorn and Boromir nodded immediately.
"Now, the people of Rohan are in dire straits. No one is willing to lend a helping hand, and tragedies are about to happen. Even if we have little strength, we will not give up. I firmly believe that victory will belong to those who are kind and brave. .”
"Oh oh oh!!"
Everyone raised their weapons and shouted. The two foreigners, Legolas and Gimli, were also inspired by Gandalf's speech. Frodo... he felt that what Gandalf said made sense.
"Gandalf, let's not go to Mount Doom for now, let's go to Rohan!" Frodo nodded and said firmly.
Gandalf was very pleased, touched Frodo's head, and praised: "You are such a kind boy!"
Russell: "..."
What do you mean, I'm not kind?
Everyone had a clear goal and headed straight to Edoras, the capital of the Kingdom of Rohan.
In fact, there was another important reason why Gandalf decided to transfer to the Kingdom of Rohan.
The people above have spoken. Saruman's corpse is a mere meal. He eats people's food without doing anything for others. This makes everyone very embarrassed and needs to be beaten.
As for how to knock, the person above didn't say, but Gandalf is a mature Maia and knows what to do, kill Saruman as quickly as possible, as fast as he can.
