"Ahhhhhhh!!!"
In the pitch-black tower towering over the plains, the white-haired old man in a white robe trembled uncontrollably on the ground and screamed in pain.
A part of his spirit had been completely destroyed by Fangzheng. The pain was no less than tearing off a living person's limbs. It was as if flames were devouring his flesh and blood from the inside. It was enough to drive a normal person crazy. Even Saruman was lying on the ground at this moment, letting out an unbearable scream of pain.
After a long while, he gradually came to a stop. Then, Saruman slowly stood up and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead. His eyes glinted with hatred and hatred.
'That man … I'm going to kill him!'
Saruman got up, walked out of the room, and looked at the Orcs standing outside.
"Gather all the troops. Prepare to launch an all-out attack on Rohan!"
No matter how powerful that man was, he would not be able to resist in the face of absolute numbers.
Saruman clenched his fists and roared in his heart.
'Rohan is mine!'
As for Rohan, he was also in a great crisis.
Although Fangzheng had helped the old king get rid of the control of the fallen wizard Saruman, it was too late. During the period when the old king was under Saruman's control, the light wizards had already gathered enough troops. In addition to the Orcs who represented the embodiment of evil, he had also persuaded the Black Barbarians who had been banished by Rohan to join forces to invade Rohan.
Saruman's original plan was to occupy Rohan without shedding a single drop of blood by manipulating the old king. But now that his plan had obviously failed, he might as well attack directly.
Rohan was almost powerless against the attack of Saruman's army. Although the prince and the Second Marshal were still alive, the strength of the Kingdom of Rohan had plummeted due to the conspiracy of Grima, who had betrayed the king and colluded with Saruman. So even though Grima had been executed and the old king had regained consciousness, they still could not do anything against this terrifying army.
But this had nothing to do with Fangzheng.
The reason why he helped treat the old king was purely to repay the Kingdom of Rohan's willingness to provide him with an area for the maintenance of the Lightning. As for the war in Middle Earth, Fangzheng had no interest in participating in it.
After all, as long as the One Ring was destroyed, the restriction on flying would be lifted. At that time, he would continue on his way to track down Hoarfrost.
As for Sauron and whatnot … .it was better to leave it to the main characters of this world to deal with.
Therefore, after that, Fangzheng returned to Lightning. At the same time, he told the busy girls some stories about this world.
"Another war?"
After listening to Fangzheng's explanation, Qian Hu frowned slightly and revealed a dissatisfied expression.
"Why must humans fight?"
"Is it because of lack of food?"
You Li leaned her face on the table and said with a lazy expression. Hearing their conversation, Fangzheng chuckled and took a sip of coffee.
"Humans who don't have enough to eat will fight, but they will also fight when they are full."
"I really don't know why these people want to fight. What's so good about fighting?"
As someone who came from a world that was completely destroyed by war, Chihu had no interest in war at all.
"Fighting is an instinct for survival, both internally and externally. Furthermore, humans believe that there are many things more important than life and that they are worth protecting."
"… I don't understand."
Chihu shook her head silently.
"Is it those things written in the books, such as dignity, freedom, or something else? I don't understand what those things are for. For us, nothing is more important than living. Could it be that dignity and freedom are more important than living? Wouldn't there be nothing left if people died? "
"That's what you think, but others don't think the same."
Fangzheng shrugged.
"You see, you think that nothing is more important than life, but some people are willing to use their lives to defend what they think is more important than life. So, you see, there's a conflict."
"…."
This time, Chihu fell silent, but after a while, she shook her head again.
"I still don't understand."
“War，Warneverchanges。 It doesn't matter whether you understand or not. In fact, it's good that you don't understand. After all, everyone has different values. You can't force everyone to have the same thoughts as you. Of course, when you return to this world, if someone wants to kill you, and it's not because you stole their food, and it's not because you have any enmity with them, but because they want you to completely disappear from this world, will you choose to surrender? Or will you resist to the end? "
"…."
Chihu didn't say anything, but You Li giggled.
"You think too much, Chihu. As for me, I'll be fine as long as I can eat and sleep well."
It was at this moment that Teo suddenly spoke up, interrupting the conversation.
"Mr. Fangzheng, someone is approaching."
"Oh? Show me the image. "
Fangzheng turned around and saw a picture of the grassland appearing on the monitor in front of him. In the picture, a group of cavalrymen were holding a flag and galloping towards them.
The leader was none other than the Prince of Rohan. He led the cavalrymen to the bottom of the Lightning and shouted.
"Sir! Sir, are you there?! Sir! "
"Haa …."
Fangzheng stood up helplessly.
"I'll go and see what's going on."
At the same time, below the Lightning, the Prince of Rohan, Theogerd, was holding a flag high and shouting for Fangzheng's orders. There was only one reason for him to come here, and that was to seek Fangzheng's help. Saruman's army had already entered Rohan, and the army led by his friend was utterly defeated by Saruman's army. Under such circumstances, the old king decisively decided to give up the capital and lead his people to the fortress of Helm's Deep.
But Saruman's Orc army obviously wouldn't let them go, so the old king decided to fight them to the death in Helm's Deep. They needed the help of allies, but the Elves and Dwarves were long gone, while Gondor had to face the threat of Mordor, and Rohan didn't trust Gondor.
Under such circumstances, the prince and his friend thought of Fangzheng and his metal bird. When they first saw it, they thought it was definitely a weapon of war. That was why he brought a group of guards here, hoping to ask for Fangzheng's help.
After a while, the prince saw a huge metal door slowly closing not far away, and Fangzheng walked out from it.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Is the old king suffering from a relapse? "
"No, sir. His Majesty is fine."
Hearing Fangzheng's question, the prince breathed a sigh of relief, then hurriedly said.
"We came here this time to ask for your help."
Then, in front of Fangzheng, the prince told him about the invasion of Saruman's Orc army and the fact that Rohan was in danger. He lowered his head to Fangzheng.
"The people of Rohan are in danger. Sir, we hope you can lend us a helping hand. We would be grateful …!"
"Hmm …"
Hearing the prince's plea, Fangzheng stroked his chin.
"Your Royal Highness, you should know that the reason I helped you save the king is because you gave me a place to repair my warship. We're even now. To be honest, as a traveler, I don't want to get involved in this kind of war. "
"But, but, we have no way out, sir."
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, the prince suddenly panicked.
"We need your help, the people of Rohan also need your help! As warriors, we are not afraid of dying on the battlefield, but there are so many women and children …!! If you can help us repel Saruman's army, we will be grateful! If you need anything, we can give it to you! "
"Anything? Even the One Ring? "
"Well …"
"Haha, just kidding."
Looking at the prince's dumbfounded expression, Fangzheng chuckled.
"Okay, I got it. But I need to think about this. You guys go back first. If we go, we'll naturally be there. If we don't, you'll know when the time comes … Well, thank you for your hard work. You can go now."
As he spoke, Fangzheng made a gesture to send them off. The prince hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Yes, sir. We will leave now. We hope to fight side by side with you!"
After saying this, the prince turned around on his horse and left with his men. Fangzheng put his hands behind his back and watched them disappear on the other side before he returned to the warship.
"Okay, I think you've all seen it."
Back in the war room, Fangzheng looked at the girls in front of him.
"Rohan has come to ask for help. What's your choice?"
"Of course we'll help, big brother!"
Ling raised his hand high, and Tio and Tida also nodded.
"Those bad guys are going to invade this country and kill their people. We can't just stand by and watch!"
"I also agree!"
Qiya also raised her hand.
Fangzheng nodded, then looked at Qian Hu and You Li.
"So, what do you think?"
"… I don't know."
Facing Fangzheng's question, Qian Hu still had a complicated expression and shook his head. You Li waved her hand, indicating that she abstained.
"Okay, four votes in favor, two votes abstained … Well, this is a good opportunity."
Fangzheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Qian Hu and You Li.
"I'll let you see what war looks like with your own eyes."
After saying this, Fangzheng sat back in his chair.
"Okay, start the Lightning. We're going to Helm's Deep."
