Chapter Twenty-Three Arrangements of the Elven Army

When the King of Rohan arrived at Helm's Deep with his cavalry troops, he was also stunned by the lively scene. He looked at Eowen who was loudly ordering the people and could hardly believe his eyes.

"Oh my God. Eowyn. I really didn't expect this. Are these still my people? Am I dazzled?"

"Haha. My dear uncle, you are useless. Everyone is working hard to protect their homeland."

Eowen felt a great sense of accomplishment for everything she had done now. Her tone and demeanor were full of pride.

When the King of Rohan understood the purpose of these devices, his despair was relieved a lot. After learning that these ideas came from Lin Yufei and Cheng Feifei that day, he came to them in person to thank them.

"Thank you both. Thank you for everything you have done for Rohan. If we win, you two will become our most popular friends in Rohan."

Faced with the enthusiasm of the King of Rohan, Lin Yufei could only nod and accept: "Thank you for your kindness. Dear king, judging from your expression, you seem to have no confidence in this battle."

"Mr. Lin, I only have so many troops. I can only rely on people with no combat experience to fill the gaps. And our enemy has tens of thousands of troops. Thinking about such a battle makes people desperate."

The King of Rohan is very clear about the situation. He also understands that even with the high walls of Helm's Deep, the hope of victory is still very slim.

"Mr. King, we are not without hope. As long as we can last for five days, Gandalf will definitely be able to arrive with Rohan's powerful cavalry troops."

Lin Yufei knew that Gandalf would eventually find Eomer and his cavalry, so he enlightened the king.

"Let's do our best. I don't know where Eomer is. And... well... it's all my fault."

The king of Rohan was still filled with regret for having exiled his general.

"Don't worry. Dear King, believe me. We will definitely be able to hold on. Even if Gandalf arrives later, it doesn't matter."

As Lin Yufei spoke, he placed the cursed gold coin in front of King Rohan.

"this……"

The King of Rohan looked at this box of golden coins. He shook his head and said, "Mr. Lin, money is not everything. No matter how much wealth you have, it will be worthless after death."

"Hahaha. My king, you misunderstood. This is a box of magical gold coins that can make people immortal."

Lin Yufei couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw the king's misunderstanding. He thought to himself, this is also a reminder to me. I still have a lot of gold bars here. It would be good to use them as bounties to improve morale.

"The power of immortality."

The King of Rohan was very surprised when he heard this. After he listened to Lin Yufei explain how to use the gold coins, the despair in his eyes finally disappeared. Although he had torn the army into pieces when he was possessed by Saruman, as a king . He still retains more than a hundred combat-effective guard troops around him. If these people become undead and serve as fire brigade or local counterattack commando during defensive operations, it will be equivalent to adding a heavy weight to the victory. of weight.

After the King of Rohan saw that the one hundred guards he had carefully selected had all turned into invincible declarations of death, a confident expression finally appeared on his face.

"Dear foreigners. I suggest adding opaque robes to these warriors."

"Hmm. Are they afraid of light?"

The King of Rohan was a little strange when he heard this. He thought these undead beings were afraid of the sun. If that were the case, fighting during the day would still be a big problem.

"No. Of course not. The sun won't affect them. It's just that the moonlight will make them assume an undead form. This will scare other people. So I think they should be equipped with robes and masks. They should be treated as a mysterious force. use."

Although Lin Yufei knew that the most intense battles occurred late at night on rainy days, there was no guarantee that the moon would appear occasionally. If there was no psychological preparation, and the defenders suddenly found some undead monsters around them, there would be no guarantee that problems would not arise. In serious cases, There may even be internal strife.

"Oh... Mr. Lin, what you said makes sense. I will equip these brave warriors with the best full-body armor and the best weapons. They will be the nightmare of Isengard's lackeys."

The King of Rohan looked at the hundred guards lined up neatly, with a look of relief on his face. However, Lin Yufei's reminder also made this brave king's hope of turning himself into an immortal life in vain. The King of Rohan originally wanted to become an immortal life. Go to the front line in person. That can greatly boost morale. But this risks exposing your immortality. When the people find that the man who claims to be the king has turned into a skeleton in the moonlight, the scene will be too funny.

It was getting late. The enemy's trumpet sound was gradually approaching. The king of Rohan was rich in experience. From the sound of the trumpet, he judged that the enemy was more powerful than he thought. Although he had a secret weapon, he still felt uneasy. Although those immortal beings would not die. But if you are beaten to pieces, you can only wait until you return to your human form before you can continue fighting. And it also takes time to assemble a human from scattered bones.

At this time, the elven reinforcements led by Alda arrived. The responsible elves continued to travel to the ancient covenant, fight with humans, and resist the invasion of dark forces.

When he saw Arda leading the elf archers to the outermost city wall, Lin Yufei asked Aragorn to stop them.

"Arda. Move your troops to the higher interior walls."

Aragorn saw Arda stationed at the front line and immediately stopped him.

"Why. Aragorn. We are here to fight, not to watch a show."

Arda felt very confused about this order. In his opinion, such an order doubted their courage.

"Arda, you misunderstood. The elves' archery skills are higher and they can see further than humans. It's more conducive to taking advantage of your advantages on high walls."

Aragorn saw that Arda had misunderstood and hurriedly explained. He saw that Arda's expression softened slightly and continued: "If the elven archers are allowed to participate in melee combat on the outer wall prematurely, it will be a huge waste of combat power."

"Okay. I understand. Thank you for reminding me. We will definitely rain the most violent arrows on the enemy's head."

Arda waved his hand and led the elven warriors to follow an officer of the Rohan Kingdom into the defensive area on the high wall.
