Chapter 213 Fate, struggle!

West of Rohan.

Close to human settlements, villages, towns near the River Essien.

At this time, the fire was everywhere, and the smoke was billowing.

A soldier with old leather armor, armor, or even defense equipment, directly wearing a sweater, with yellow face and black teeth, frantically ravaged the people belonging to the Kingdom of Rohan.

Men, children, and the elderly were slaughtered at will, and women were either insulted on the spot or kidnapped.

A lot of cries, screams, slaughter, madness, and excitement resounded throughout the sky.

The troops who burned, killed and looted were naturally the vanguard troops under the command of Isengard Saruman, the black barbarians who hated the kingdom of Rohan very much.

Also with the attack of the black barbarians.

Saruman's coveted war against Rohan begins.

Edoras.

Inside the Golden Temple.

When the darkness before Theoden faded away, it became brighter.

When he saw the beautiful figure squatting in front of him was his niece, Eowyn, whom he had not seen for a long time.

Theoden's extremely chaotic head is also rapidly becoming sober.

When he looked away from the face of his niece, who was crying with joy, he looked up and saw a tall, familiar figure in a white robe. He couldn't help but look surprised: "Gandalf!"

"Enjoy free breathing again..."

Gandalf nodded at him and spoke softly.

Hearing Gandalf's words, the memory in Theoden's mind was quickly recovering in such a short time.

When he was struggling with Eowyn's support, he slowly stood up and looked at the people in front of him, especially the "Chief Staff" Grima, who was extremely pale and frightened when he saw the dwarf stepping on his feet.

At this moment, the chaotic memories in Theoden's mind were already linked together.

"No wonder it's always been pitch black in my recent dreams."

"Looks like I'll never wake up"

Theoden looked down at his dirty hands and slowly clenched them, muttering.

"As long as you can hold the long sword, I believe you can easily regain your former strength."

Gandalf said with a smile, taking a few steps back and standing with Morgan.

The voice fell.

A footstep sounded quickly.

In the rear hall, the warrior leader who saw the king's attributes couldn't hide his excitement and immediately brought a long sword and handed it over.

"His Majesty."

The warrior leader spoke excitedly.

Theoden reached for the hilt and slowly drew the sword.

"Whoa."

The hands that were trembling at first gradually became stable as they slowly drew out the long sword.

"Wow!"

Finally, when Theoden completely pulled out the long sword, his hand clenching the long sword no longer trembled.

At this moment, Theoden already remembered everything.

He turned his head suddenly and looked at Grima, who was trampled by the dwarf.

Theoden immediately stepped forward, and only stepped down the low steps, which immediately shook his incomparably weak body. The nearest Morgan reached out and helped Theoden.

Eowyn, who was in front of the throne, stepped forward quickly. She was anxious to support her uncle, and at the same time, she also grabbed Morgan's hand.

Morgan smiled at Eowyn.

Eowyn, who immediately realized that she had made a mistake, let go of Morgan's hand.

A faint blush flashed across his face.

At this time, Theoden had already stood firm, and walked towards Grima, who was under control, with a sword in his face with an angry expression.

Morgan immediately let go of the other party, allowing Eowyn to support King Theoden.

Seeing the arrival of the king, Gimli immediately raised his foot, and Grima looked at the king who was approaching with a sword, his face extremely frightened.

Theoden raised his hand and stabbed it with a sword, but he was still too weak, and he moved half a beat slower, and was dodged by Grima, who hurriedly crawled back.

"Your Majesty, please let me go"

Grima screamed in horror as he stepped back.

Theoden looked angrily and caught a few steps before panting.

Everyone seemed to know that the king was going to take care of Grima himself, and no one else moved.

Grima looked at the situation but didn't dare to run away, just looking at the king who was striding out panting, he hurriedly shouted in panic: "Your Majesty, I really just want to serve your Majesty!"

"Serve me?"

"Just using magic to let you be at your mercy like a puppet?"

"You almost made me crawl on the ground like a beast, Grima!"

Theoden gritted his teeth and said bitterly, the anger in his words was not concealed at all, and there was no need to conceal it.

"boom!"

Theoden slashed again, but was dodged by Grima again.

"Your Majesty, that was not my intention."

"It's all Saruman!"

"It's all what Saruman asked me to do, Your Majesty!"

Aware of King Theoden's killing intent, Grima loudly defended, and his figure stepped back even more quickly.

"catch him!"

Theoden looked at Grima, who wanted to run, and immediately made a sound.

next second.

The warrior leader and another warrior shot together and immediately pressed Grima to the ground.

This time, Grima, who couldn't escape, saw Theoden who was approaching, and immediately screamed like a pig.

"Your Majesty!"

"Forgive me, look at my allegiance to you all these years."

Grima cried and struggled.

"To shut up!"

"I will forgive you"

Theoden, who stepped forward, shouted angrily, and immediately raised his long sword: "So, today is the day of death!"

After Theoden finished speaking, the long sword in his hand immediately slashed.

At this time, Morgan followed Theoden and watched Theoden raise his sword and slash at Grima. He had no intention of helping Grima as Aragorn did in the memory plot.

He remembered that in the memory of the plot, Aragorn helped Grima to block King Theoden's long sword, but what he got was a mouthful of phlegm from Grima, the real villain.

Morgan couldn't be as generous as Aragorn.

If he were Aragorn, he would definitely have killed Grima when Grima spit it out.

Even if he knew that Grima was related to Saruman behind him.

But Morgan didn't care, he wouldn't wrong himself for other things.

It was as if he were now watching Theoden swing his sword at Grima, indifferently.

At the same time, he has always been a little curious, if there is no Aragorn in the memory of the plot, will Theoden kill Grima?

Now, the answer is at hand.

"No, Your Majesty!"

Grima, whose hands were held down, watched Theoden's long sword glittering with cold light fall, and shouted in horror, "Your Majesty!"

"what"

With Grima's terrified sound, it fell as the long sword fell.

"puff"

Blood splattered.

Theoden slashed Grima in one leg.

Theoden just wanted to end Grima's life, but the opponent struggled to break free, avoiding the sword of Theoden, who was weak at this time.

"what"

"Your Majesty, forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Grima looked at Theoden's sword raised again in horror, his voice pitiful and pleading.

In the golden hall, the ministers and the guards all stood by and watched indifferently.

With the crimes committed by Grima, it is not too much to die several times.

If nothing else, it was the sin of his death without proper treatment to Rohan's only prince, "Theoged".

Grima is absolutely damn good.

Therefore, Morgan did not have any intention of helping Grima in the way that Aragorn did.

He watched all this with interest.

Morgan wondered if Grima would ever die here.

But Gandalf, who was standing beside him, could not stand.

The moment Theoden raised his sword and slashed down again, Gandalf stepped forward and reached out to stop Theoden.

"Your Majesty, you have already punished him, why don't you give him a life."

"Such a guy, he will get what he deserves, and he will die where he is needed more."

Gandalf stopped King Theoden and spoke in a deep voice.

Although he did not explain everything, Theoden could understand what Gandalf was saying.

Although Theoden wanted to kill Grima very much in his heart.

However, the hidden meaning in Gandalf's words made him a lot more rational, and it reminded him of the correct words that Gandalf had persuaded, plus he had just been rescued by Gandalf, and now Grima has one leg. was scrapped.

Various thoughts quickly flashed through his mind.

After a while, the sword in Theoden's hand was released.

It's just that he was a little unwilling to let Grima go like this.

next second.

Theoden pushed away Gandalf and Eowyn who were beside him, strode forward, and kicked Grima's bloody leg, which had been horribly cut open.

"what!"

"what"

"what"

Grima cried out in pain.

O'Sheaton lifted his feet several times until he was exhausted until he was out of breath before he stopped.

"Throw him out."

Taking a few deep breaths, Theoden looked at Grima in front of him and said in disgust.

The leader of the warriors and a warrior immediately set up Grima's frail body and dragged it out.

Theoden turned around and walked slowly towards the throne behind him.

The people around looked at this scene and immediately began to talk about it.

Morgan looked at the traces of blood that had been dragged out from the ground of the main hall, and at the back of Grima's death-like pain and mourning, his thoughts fluctuated.

In the end, the Grima guy didn't die here.

Without Aragorn, Gandalf's presence and prevention is not unexpected.

Without my own intervention, the development of the plot will continue to develop in an orderly manner according to the original track.

But his own participation: for example, he just killed Grima.

The plot will definitely change.

But for Morgan now, he won't change the plot unless he feels the need.

After all, it is the greatest benefit for him that the plot remains unchanged.

When Grima's screams disappeared outside the door of the main hall.

Morgan turned his head, and King Theoden had reappeared in front of the throne, looking at everyone in the hall with serious eyes.

Everyone immediately bowed and saluted, as did Morgan and several members of the expedition.

Theoden sat down on the throne in the etiquette of the crowd, and when he looked at the crowd standing up, he suddenly noticed that a figure was not there.

"My son, where is Theoged?"

King Theoden looked at the people in the hall and said.

As soon as the voice fell, the entire hall fell silent in an instant.

Morgan's four expedition members are all right.

Eowyn and a group of Rohan ministers indeed bowed their heads with ugly expressions.

This question, no one dared to answer Theoden, who had returned to sobriety.

At this moment, the entire hall was extremely silent.

Theoden glanced at the faces of the ministers below, and all the ministers who were swept by him immediately bowed their heads in shame and lowered their heads again, wishing to put their heads in their crotch so that the king could not see him.

Looking at the reaction of everyone, Theoden, who was just confused, seemed to think of something, and his face quickly became ugly.

"Eowyn, my dear boy."

"Tell me, where is Theodore?"

Theoden looked at his niece and asked softly, his face serious.

"His Majesty."

"Theodore died from his injuries last night."

Tears welled up in Eowyn's eyes when she talked about this.

The voice fell.

Theoden's body stiffened, and his face instantly froze.

"Theoged was mortally wounded"

Eowyn's words caused Theoden, who had just woken up, to become confused again.

Theoden only knew that his son Theodore, his only son, died

Watching King Theoden sit on the throne in a daze.

None of the people below said a word.

Morgan Gandalf Legolas sighed in unison when they heard Eowyn's words.

They still remembered that before coming to Edoras, Eomer was worried about Theodore's condition, but the result was already doomed.

At this moment, the entire Golden Temple was silent.

afternoon.

The gloomy sky was pouring rain.

Edoras.

Having purged Grima, the greatest betrayal, King Theoden was able to return soberly.

Such a momentous day should have been celebrated with a large banquet.

But the whole of Edoras was shrouded in deep sadness.

The death of Prince Theoged made it even more difficult for the kingdom of Rohan, which was in turmoil.

Two days later.

The continuous golden hall, in a side hall.

The bonfire was strong, and the whole hall was illuminated.

Two half-old children with ordinary clothes and tired faces were sitting on the long table and devouring their food.

Above the main hall, King Theoden, dressed in delicate simple clothes, sat upright with a serious expression.

Gandalf in a white robe sat beside him.

Morgan and Eomer were sitting at a table and eating.

Legolas sat at a table with Gimli.

Eowyn was half-squatting beside the older girl of the two children and kept asking something.

Finally, after the question was clear, Eowyn stood up and said, "Without any warning, the dark barbarians are sweeping across our border west of Rohan, killing and slaughtering our defenseless people and burning everything they see along the way. ."

The voice fell.

Theoden, who was sitting on the exclusive throne above, looked more serious and frowned.

"The black savages are only a small part of Saruman's strength."

"I think you heard what Eomer said, too, that the mightiest warriors under Saruman's command: the sunless Uruk orcs have not even begun."

"We must not back down, we must confront them head-on, otherwise Saruman will only become more rampant"

Gandalf answered and immediately looked at King Theoden beside him and persuaded him.

The four-man squad has been in Edoras for several days.

from the second day.

Gandalf began his main purpose here: to persuade Theoden against Saruman.

However, Theoden was obviously unmoved.

In front of them, these two children who had fled from the western border of Rohan, the edge of the River Eshin, clearly gave Gandalf a strong support for what Gandalf said.

but.

Theoden glanced at Gandalf beside him, then stood up without a word, and left the throne.

Gandalf sighed inwardly, and turned to Eomer at once.

It's just that Eomer, who would help Gandalf to persuade Theoden at first, seems to have understood the mind of King Theoden, but now he is just silent.

"I understand what you want me to do."

Finally, Theoden spoke: "But I don't want more people to die."

"Rohan is in a dangerous situation now, and I cannot risk a war."

Theoden looked at Gandalf and spoke his decision slowly.

"The Saruman army is about to attack, what decision does His Majesty the King have?"

Hearing Theoden's words, Gandalf's face sank at the speed he saw, and he asked back.

Theoden took a deep breath: "Leave Edoras and head to Helm's Deep (Helm's Deep)."
