Chapter 231 Disillusionment!

Early morning in Helm's Deep.

Morning light.

A hazy mist shrouded the valley.

The smell of blood still lingered in the air.

When the first ray of golden morning sun appeared in the east.

In front of the gate of the horn fort.

Morgan, Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli's five-man expedition, and Rohan's representative Eomer led a small team of elite hussars to bid farewell to King Theoden of Rohan.

Although the distance from Helm's Deep to Isengard is only nearly two days away, it is not too far.

But the relationship between Isengard and the Kingdom of Rohan is not a trivial matter.

What's more, Saruman's Isengard was only defeated this time, not completely finished.

And Rohan's side had just gone through hard battles and battles, and suffered heavy losses.

The soldiers who really can't come up with much are now going to attack Isengard immediately.

So, Theoden is constantly explaining something to Gandalf and Eomer.

Morgan stood by and said nothing.

He knew in his heart that if there were no special changes, at this time Isengard might have been led by the Ent leader Treebeard of Fagon Forest and brought other Ent Ent to form a group to steal his home.

However, no news came from Isengard.

Morgan didn't say much.

Besides, this trip to Isengard is a must.

"I know."

"I know how to handle it"

Gandalf was a little helpless to King Theoden's cautious account.

Eomer naturally nodded in response to the orders and tasks of Theoden, the king and uncle.

Morgan and Aragorn were standing by and watching blankly.

Gimli dragged Legolas and kept muttering something behind him.

Finally, when King Theoden looked serious, he finished explaining.

Morgan, Gandalf's five-man expedition, Eomer, and a group of elite hussars turned on their horses.

The whole procession, headed by Gandalf, began to march forward.

Morgan sat on the dark horse radish, turned his head and glanced at Eowyn in front of the gate of the horn fort, turned and drove the radish under him to move forward quickly.

Originally, there should be King Theoden in the team heading to Isengard this time.

But he was injured, so naturally he would not consider it again.

As for Eowyn, this girl has a strong personality, a beautiful appearance, but a strong heart. Naturally, she really hopes to go to Isengard with her brother Eomer and Morgan.

However, as the princess of Rohan, the king was injured again.

At this time, Theoden could not do without her care.

So her thoughts were only revealed to Morgan, and nothing else was mentioned at all.

Looking at the back that quickly disappeared.

Eowyn suddenly felt a little lost in her heart.

Noticing the strange gaze of his niece next to him, Theoden said softly: "He is a very charming person, and a noble person."

Theoden spoke softly.

All this time between Eowyn and Morgan.

As well as Eowyn's attitude towards Morgan, Morgan's attitude towards Eowyn, as a king, he saw it all.

How precious is Eowyn's identity.

If it wasn't for Morgan, he wouldn't let any man approach Eowyn, whom he regarded as his daughter.

Because of this, he felt very distressed for this daughter who had suffered a lot since childhood.

It's rare to see her showing unprecedented joy and laughter during this period of time.

Theoden naturally understood why.

But Morgan's identity information may not be known to the general public.

How could he not know as King of Rohan.

He actually wanted to keep Eowyn happy for a while.

However, the situation was changing so fast that he could only reluctantly pierce her fantasy.

"but."

Theoden continued to speak, but did not continue, believing that Eowyn would understand.

"I know."

Eowyn nodded immediately.

"Of course I know"

Eowyn nodded again and again: "I didn't think too much."

"Don't worry about me, Your Majesty"

Eowyn shook her head softly with a smile on her face.

The expression of trying to hold on made Theoden more distressed, and he couldn't help sighing: "It's windy here, go back."

As King Theoden, assisted by Princess Eowyn and his squires, entered the gates, the gates of the Clarion were closed again.

Morgan and Gandalf and his party had already rushed out of the mouth of Helm's ravine on horseback.

Heading towards the vast wilderness ahead.

Isenger.

Beneath the huge towering black stone tower of Orthanc.

Inside the heavily damaged outer Iron Circle.

At this time, it has become a vast ocean.

After being submerged by the river, Isengard is in a terrible condition.

There were all kinds of debris floating around, as well as the white corpses of the most powerful orcs and half-orcs.

Not far away, several giant treemen Ent are constantly wandering around the stone tower of Orthank.

farther.

Dilapidated circular wall.

The two short figures were sitting on the wall, eating leisurely, chatting and smoking, with a relaxed and relaxed expression, so pleasant.

These two were of course Merry and Pippin, two little hobbits from Shire Hobbiton.

Since two days ago.

They followed the Ent leader Treebeard in Fagon Forest, and a group of angry Ents attacked Isengard and won.

Then, they had a big reward: Saruman's food bank.

In the food storage warehouse, there are food, wine, and tobacco that are very tempting to others.

In the eyes of the Ents, it's useless.

They couldn't eat it either.

So naturally all those things were bestowed by Treebeard to the two brave little hobbits.

And then.

The two of them were given a mission by Treebeard.

That is the guard on the only road leading to Isengard.

"It feels so good."

Pippin put down the wine glass in his hand, spit out a large mouthful of smoke with his cigarette stick in his mouth, leaned his back against the rock behind him, squinted his eyes slightly, and said comfortably, "I feel like I'm back in my hometown tavern."

"I know, the Green Dragon Tavern."

Merry bit the steak in his hand and nodded.

"Yes."

"With ale in hand, feet on the bench, listening to the jokes of the people around you, relieve the fatigue of the whole day."

"call"

"That feels so good."

Pippin said with a nostalgic voice.

But Merry couldn't listen to it anymore, and he immediately asked, "That's right, but when have you been tired all day?"

"Uh too"

"hey-hey."

"Ha ha."

"Ha ha ha ha."

The two partners laughed happily.

At this time.

Merry, who was relatively cautious, suddenly stood up when she heard the slight sound of hooves in the forest ahead.

"What's wrong?"

Pippin asked hastily, and stood up.

"someone is coming."

Merry spoke immediately, with a nervous expression on his face, trying his best to look into the dense forest in front of him, trying to see who was coming.

Pippin was no longer in the mood to joke.

It is possible that whoever appears here at this time is an enemy or a friend.

Even the enemy is more likely.

Because just a few days ago, the day before they and Treebeard attacked Isengard, they clearly saw a huge army of powerful orcs leave Isengard.

At this time, it is not surprising that those Uruks have returned.

"Pippin, watch my gestures later."

"When I make a gesture, go and report to Treebeard."

Merry looked at the chaotic sound of horses' hooves constantly coming from the forest, and said with a serious expression.

"Merry I know."

"Don't say anything depressing, don't know who is coming?"

Pippin pretended to be relaxed, but the two of them couldn't be relaxed at this time.

Time passed slowly.

Finally, when a man riding a white horse, holding a staff, wearing a pure white robe and a charity old man appeared in the dense forest, and another tall and handsome man riding a black horse, wearing a green cloak and dark red mighty armor. human men.

Merry and Pippin's eyes widened immediately, and then they waved and shouted with extremely happy expressions.

"here."

"here."

ten minutes later.

In front of the heavily damaged circular high wall.

"So, Ent led by Treebeard defeated Saruman two days ago?"

After hearing Merry's words, Gandalf looked at the two hobbits and asked.

"Yes!"

"And us, and we're part of it."

Pippin reminded immediately.

"Okay, and you."

Gandalf nodded, then said, "Take me to Lord Treebeard."

"Okay, this way."

Merry and Pippin were carried by Morgan one by one on their own and Aragorn's horses.

Immediately, the large team walked into the circular square of Isengard's ocean.

"Ah, young Lord Gandalf."

"It's really nice of you to come"

Huge, with human-like features and human-like hands and feet, the Ente tree whiskers approached him, and immediately spoke out when he saw the large team coming.

"We defeated those Uruks and also controlled the forest river here."

"However, we can't deal with this stone tower, and the wizard who locked himself in the stone tower."

Treewhisker's voice is slow and clear.

"Leave it to us, we're here for it."

Gandalf looked at Treebeard and nodded.

"However, this stone tower is locked up, what are we going to do with that wizard?"

At this moment, Gimli, who was sitting behind Legolas, suddenly spoke.

"Don't worry, he will show up."

"Perhaps, he is waiting for our arrival."

Morgan looked left and right and said.

Speaking of which, the black Orsank stone tower in front of you is huge, majestic and distinctive, and it is a very rare architectural spectacle.

But for Morgan at this time, these buildings, no matter how special they are, are only for him to take a few more glances.

It's just that his voice just fell.

"Who are you, the human Morgan who obeys Gandalf?"

A sudden sound came from above the tower.

Everyone immediately looked up, and saw the top of the towering Orsank Stone Tower above, an old man in a white robe and holding a staff appeared there.

"Saruman"

Look at the white-robed wizard who suddenly appeared.

Morgan squinted his eyes slightly, and many things related to Saruman in his memory flashed quickly in his mind.

Not to mention other things, the most annoying thing about this guy is not his strength, but his sneering mouth that is like a poisonous snake.

"Finally obey?"

"I don't think so"

Morgan looked at the white-robed wizard above and replied coldly.

"Is King Theoden not here?"

As if he didn't care what Morgan said, Saruman looked at the people below and asked.

"It's just to deal with a Saruman who has lost his minions. I don't need His Majesty to come, I can do it."

At this time, Eomer, who was standing by the side, answered and said loudly.

"Well he sent you here?"

"A superficial cranky boy, an idiot who can easily be led by the nose with a simple trick."

Saruman looked at Eomer below and said sarcastically.

The voice fell.

Eomer's face flushed instantly.

Because he thought that he had been expelled from Rohan by Grima.

Because Saruman was right.

Eomer was instantly stunned and speechless.

Saruman continued to look at the next one and asked coldly, "Then, Gandalf the Grey, why are you here?"

"Want the key to the Orthank Tower?"

"Or is it simply the key of Baradul (Baradul: also known as the "Black Tower", the giant tower where Modo houses Sauron's "Evil Eye")?"

"Or add the crowns of seven kings, and the staff of five wizards?"

Saruman's mocking voice echoed throughout Isengard.

Below, Gandalf raised his head unmoved: "Saruman, your betrayal has taken too many lives."

"Now, many more lives are at risk."

"But you can save them"

"Saruman, you must know what Modo will do next"

"so."

Saruman immediately interrupted Gandalf's words and said with a sneer, "Are you here to obtain information?"

"I do have something for you"

"But not intelligence, but it!"

As Saruman said, he reached out and took out a black crystal ball the size of an adult's palm, with fire glowing inside.

Inside the crystal ball, a huge evil eye burning with flames kept flashing.

The next moment, the picture inside the crystal ball suddenly turned into an incomparably tall and majestic snow-capped peak.

Immediately afterwards, the next picture became a dense and endless huge army, but those armies were not half-orcs, but human warriors in the south and north of Middle-earth.

The screen continues.

The army quickly disappeared into a dense, vast forest.

Then, a large number of orcs in full armor and armor quickly ran through the dense forest with weapons.

Several images quickly appeared and disappeared.

Below, Morgan, Legolas, Gimli, and Gandalf, who had good eyesight, looked at the rapidly changing picture in the crystal ball with extremely serious expressions.

Because the towering snow-capped mountain that appeared in the crystal ball is obviously the Lonely Mountain.

The forest that appeared behind looked like a dark jungle to Legolas.

As for the dense army of human beings and a large number of orcs that appeared, it is very likely that they were the army that attacked the Lonely Mountain and the Dark Forest.

Saruman looked at the ugly face below, and the faces of the silent people were extremely satisfied.

It's worthwhile for him to let the true knowledge ball tell them something that will only make them worry about the news.

at this time.

Suddenly there was a chaotic hoof and neighing sound from the edge of Isengard's circular square.

Everyone in front of the Orshank Stone Tower turned their heads immediately, and saw a large group of figures in black robes and black hoods walking quickly in the direction of the crowd.
