Thunder rumbled and silver snakes danced wildly.
Inside Divine Helm Valley, a dazzling silvery-white light enveloped the entire land. The soldiers fighting on the city walls had to turn their heads to avoid being blinded by the dazzling light. Deafening roars echoed in the valley, causing one's heart to tremble uncontrollably.
After an unknown period of time, the roars subsided. At the same time, the whole valley fell into a dead silence.
"… … …"
Only then did the soldiers open their eyes and turn their heads to look in the front.
In front of them, the tens of thousands of Beastman soldiers that filled the entire valley had turned into piles of black charcoal. There were flames and thick smoke everywhere.
Is this the power of a Wizard?
Seeing this scene, the prince was dumbfounded, speechless. He did expect Fangzheng to turn the tide. But what the Prince didn't expect was that he would actually use this method to completely annihilate so many Beastmen! This was beyond his imagination, and the prince had never heard of anyone who could do such a thing!
Come to think of it …
The prince instinctively glanced at the old man in a white robe standing on the city wall not far away. The old man was also holding a staff.
They were both Wizards … but why did the difference between them seem so huge?
But now was not the time to talk about this. Thinking of this, the Prince suddenly drew his sword and shouted.
"Attack!"
"Attack!"
Following the prince's roar, the bugle sounded again. Soon, the regrouped human and elven allied army burst forth with great strength and pounced on the Orc army.
On the other hand, the Orc army had completely collapsed. They had nowhere to run. Behind them was the strange building that could shoot out lightning storms, and in front of them was the allied army with high morale. Under such circumstances, the remaining half blood beastmen army collapsed and were quickly wiped out.
After that, it was time to collect the corpses and clean up the battlefield. The strange building had turned back into a huge metal chariot. The prince and Eikenbrand rode through the charred battlefield and arrived below the metal chariot. They saw Fangzheng standing there, looking at the scenery in the distance.
"Sir!!"
After galloping all the way here, the two of them hurriedly jumped off their horses and arrived in front of Fangzheng. Fangzheng smiled and greeted them.
"Sorry, I'm a little late. As you know, this thing is slower on the ground, and the road here is more difficult to walk on...."
"No, it's all thanks to you, sir. If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to defend it!"
The prince held Fangzheng's hand excitedly. He was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
"I didn't expect Magi to be so powerful …"
Eikenbrand sighed with emotion.
"If Saruman has such power, then I'm afraid we really have no hope."
"Actually, Saruman's idea is pretty good, but he's on the wrong side."
Fangzheng shrugged when he heard Eikenbrand's words. No matter why Saruman sided with Sauron, he was still the first Wizard in this world to start the industrial revolution. If Saruman had taken the right action in the right place, perhaps there would have been a brighter future. However, it was a pity that Saruman had only learned a little and became arrogant, resulting in the current situation.
What could he do? He was helpless.
After saying goodbye to the prince and Eikenbrand, Fangzheng left with the girls on the excuse that the 'Lightning' had not been repaired yet. Although the prince had invited him to go with them to find Saruman, Fangzheng, who had seen the movie before, knew that Saruman's home had already been raided by the Ents, so there was nothing he could do even if he went. So, he politely declined the invitation and told them that they could go if they wanted to, but he could stay here and enjoy the scenery ….
The prince was not surprised by this. After all, he had dealt with Fangzheng a few times and knew that this was his personality. Besides, it was better for him to stay here. After all, this Wizard was quite powerful. With him around, the safety of Helm's Deep and the others would be guaranteed.
Meanwhile, Fangzheng and the girls began a new round of modification work on the 'Lightning'. It had to be said that although the problem with the 'Lightning' this time was a little strange, the girls were not particularly disappointed. They had only finished building the 'Lightning' in a hurry. If it weren't for Hiri's Wild Hunt, they would not have been in such a hurry to drag the 'Lightning' out of the factory and go straight to the frontline.
Therefore, it was not surprising that there were problems. Now, the girls were discussing how to speed up the 'Lightning' in its terrestrial form …. They had come up with all kinds of ideas.
Ling suggested that it would be best to board the 'Lightning' directly, while Tita had a soft spot for the five pairs of wheels. Tio suggested that it would be too troublesome to run, so they might as well teleport ….
Of course, the girls were left to decide the design of the modification work themselves, while Fangzheng was in charge of eating, drinking, and enjoying the scenery.
A few days later, more people came to visit.
This time, there were a lot of people. In addition to the King and Prince of Rohan and some other acquaintances, there was also a white-bearded old man, a bearded Ranger, a bearded Dwarf, and an Elf ….
That's right, it was time for the Ring's Guardian Squad!
When the two sides met, the King of Rohan first thanked Fangzheng again, then explained the purpose of his visit. Sure enough, just as Fangzheng expected, when they went to look for Saruman, the old man's lair had already been raided by the Ents. But there was something else that Fangzheng did not expect.
Saruman was dead!
And he was dead before they arrived!
According to the Ents, when they invaded, Saruman asked the Orc leader to resist the Orc leader with all his might. Then, the two sides quarreled on the tower and got into a scuffle. Then, they fell from the tower and died in front of the Ents.
When he heard this, Fangzheng was dumbfounded.
F * ck me, Saruman, you're a wizard. Did you play with the Industrial Revolution for too long and you don't know how to use magic? You actually got into a scuffle with an Orc like a shrew on the street, and both of you fell to your death?
How could you be so shameless?
Of course, Saruman's death was not a big deal. He was just a villain after all. But now there was a problem. They originally planned to find out Sauron's next battle plan and goal from Saruman, but now Saruman was dead. Dead people don't talk, and they did not find any useful clues from Saruman.
So, the Prince suggested that they come and ask Mr. Fangzheng. Maybe he had some ideas?
This suggestion was immediately approved by the King of Rohan. Fangzheng had saved his life before, and after the Battle of Helm's Deep, Fangzheng was already a god-like existence in the eyes of the old King. So, he came in person to thank Fangzheng and ask for his help.
As for the members of the Ring's Keepers, it was mainly because they were curious. They too wanted to see who was the one who created the Lightning Storm. As for Gandalf... he was under more pressure than Gandalf.
The reason was simple.
When Fangzheng first met the Princes, he did not say that he was a wizard. He only said that he knew a little about magic. So, the Princes thought that Fangzheng was a wizard. Of course, that was not a big deal. But the problem was, after the Battle of Helm's Deep, the way they looked at Gandalf was a little strange.
They were both wizards, but Gandalf had turned tens of thousands of Orcs into ashes with a single Lightning Storm. As for Gandalf the White-Robed …. Although he was famous, he was still willing to stand side by side with the Kingdom of Rohirrim against the enemy. His courage was commendable.
But … wasn't his strength a little … .a little … .low?
Of course, Gandalf was also well known and respected by many. So, even if they did not say it out loud, there was no lack of discussions behind his back. Gandalf was also a wise old man, so he naturally did not understand. But he was also helpless. He did not know why there was a Wizard with such terrifying power. Although Wizards could indeed do some miraculous things in the eyes of others, to wipe out an army of ten thousand with just a wave of his hand …. He could not do it, Saruman could not do it, and perhaps even Sauron could not do it!
If Sauron could do it, why would he need an army? Why would he need the One Ring? He could just come up and make everyone kneel with a wave of his hand.
So, he wanted to see with his own eyes what kind of person this godly "wizard" was.
But after seeing Fangzheng with his own eyes, Gandalf was still quite surprised. Not only him, but the other members of the Ring's Keepers also had the same reaction. After all, the wizards they had seen before were all old, bearded, wearing robes and carrying a cane. Both Gandalf and Saruman were the same.
Fangzheng, on the other hand, was dressed in a full suit with a windbreaker on the outside. He was even more extravagant than a noble. He had set up a table on the hillside and had afternoon tea. He was even more leisurely than a king. He even invited them to eat and drink together.
The Dwarf Gimli did not stand on ceremony. He was the first to grab the biscuits and bread on the table and munched on them. Honestly speaking, there was no good food in this world. The standard of food here was even worse than in Ciri's Demon Hunter world. At least the people there still used utensils to eat, while the people here basically ate directly … .and the taste of the food ….
Well, Fangzheng would not eat it anyway. He would rather eat modern industrial products with additives than this so-called "original, pollution-free" food.
"So you want to know Sauron's target …."
Fangzheng took a sip of tea and looked at Gandalf and the others sitting across the table. He could not be bothered to play any tricks, so he directly told them.
"It's actually very simple. Just think of yourself as Sauron and think about what you would do. The answer is obvious."
"Think of myself as Sauron?"
Gandalf showed a puzzled expression when he heard this, while Fangzheng nodded.
"That's right. Take for example, if I were Sauron and I had millions of Orc soldiers under my command, what would I do if I wanted to unify Middle Earth? First of all, I have to worry about the major races of Middle Earth joining forces against me, so the best way is to attack them one by one. Thankfully, the Dwarves can't even take care of themselves now, the Elves have already decided to leave Middle Earth, and Rohan …. It's best if Saruman succeeds, but it doesn't matter if he fails. Even if Saruman fails, with his ability, he's enough to make Rohan suffer heavy losses. "
Hearing Fangzheng's casual analysis, everyone's expression became even more solemn. Gandalf also stared at Fangzheng, waiting for him to continue.
"But now, in my opinion, the obstacles to unifying Middle Earth have basically disappeared, so the next step is to strike a vicious blow. It's best if I can make all the humans in Middle Earth completely lose the confidence to fight against me and live in fear. The best way is to completely destroy their spiritual pillar. Once the human pillar is destroyed, they will lose their faith and spiritual support, and they will be nothing more than a bunch of weak chickens. When that happens, the human camp will become a pile of loose sand. Even if there are some stubborn people who intend to resist until the end, it won't be a problem. "
"I can understand what you're saying."
Hearing this, the Ranger asked doubtfully.
"But you still haven't told me where Sauron will attack."
"That's even simpler."
Facing the Ranger's question, Fangzheng chuckled.
"Look, if there's a place that everyone thinks will not fall, but it ends up falling, what do you think the consequences will be?"
"You mean Minas Tirith?!"
Hearing this, Gandalf immediately stood up. A chill ran down his spine. Minas Tirith was the capital of Gondor, and it was built on a mountain. It was almost impossible to capture!
"By the way."
Since he had already revealed the spoiler, Fangzheng did not mind telling it to the end.
"The Regent of Minas Tirith already knows that his son is dead, so you can guess what the chances are that Sauron will not take advantage of this opportunity to attack Minas Tirith."
Hearing this, everyone's expression changed.
The glorious discount this time allowed them to buy the entire Workshop series in one go, followed by the Nightless Kingdom, King of Ren 2,357 Empire, Warring States 4-2, and Peerless All Stars … The total amount of money they spent was only a little more than twice that of the Original Gods … Sure enough, mobile games are the most expensive.
