Chapter 242: Gondor's offensive and defensive battle (I)

The sky gradually darkened, and the Sauron Legion did not attack the city immediately. The actions of the Sauron Legion could be clearly seen from the walls of Minas Tiris. They were obviously still gathering their troops.

As the fire flashed, it was clear that Sauron's powerful orcs were deploying troops a thousand steps away from Minas Tialis City. Some orcs who were auxiliary soldiers were busy working in front of the formation like ants. They dug wide trenches outside the range of bows and arrows in the Minas Tialis City Wall. Whenever a trenches were completed, the trenches were filled with flames.

Behind these trenches were huge crossbows and catapults for siege. Obviously, these trenches were to prevent the cavalry in the city from coming out to attack these siege equipment.

Judging from the actions of the Sauron Legion, they seemed to be waiting for something and should not attack the city immediately. The black knight also flew back to the rear of the Sauron Legion.

On the fourth city wall of Minas Tiris, Gandalf was leaning on a white staff in his hands, his gray eyes looked very tired. Behind him, Yu Mingxia, Zhang Donglin, Wang Qin, and Ma Yuandong were also standing in gray cloaks.

From the Rohan grasslands, they were flying boats at the speed of the moonlight. In just a few minutes, they arrived at the Palano Plain in Gondor. This was naturally much faster than Gandalf and Merry in the original plot, and they arrived at less than midnight.

Then they put away the moonlight boats in the secret place of Shanyin where Minas Tiris is located, and they found an abandoned wooden farmhouse on the Palano plain outside the city to sleep in the morning.

There are many private farms on the Palano Plain. In the past, some farmers lived outside, so many simple wooden houses were built next to the farm. Many tourists can also take a temporary rest when passing by.

The next day, the crowd was fully prepared and walked to the gate of Minas Tiris.

This time Gandalf's connections were revealed again. The commander of the Gondor City Guardian, who guarded the outermost wall of Minas Tiris, recognized Gandalf in white robe. Of course, they called him Mislanda, or the former saint of gray robe.

Gandalf knew the pass code through the gate of the seven walls of Minas Tiris, and used his identity to guarantee Meri, Yu Mingxia and the others, and then easily entered Minas Tiris.

At this time, the city of Minas Tiris was filled with all kinds of unfavorable news, and the humans in the city felt the shadow of war.

But when they met Gandalf, everyone began to ask him about information, because in their minds, the gray-robed saint Mislanda traveled all over the Middle Earth all year round, and he should have known the information.

Gandalf's inquiry at the people was just a serious cry for them to get out of the way and not stop him from meeting the Regent Denaser. Of course, in order to calm people's mood, he told people that Gondor's neighbor Rohan, the country of cavalry, won a great victory and prepared to rush to Gondor, which made people's mood seem much clearer.

Under the morning sun, Gandalf took Meili, Yu Mingxia and others to the top of the city, and finally arrived at the highest power of Minas Tiris, the Council Hall of the Gondor Capital.

This is a wide hall, and the light in the hall comes from windows beside tall stone pillars on both sides. Compared with the Medusi Golden Hall of the Rohanate Kingdom, this hall looks even more grand, solemn and ancient.

Although his appearance does not have any gold, brocade or wood carving decorations, the stone pillars and walls of the hall are carved with magnificent reliefs.

Walking along the way, many black marble statues were displayed on the corridors on both sides. In addition to the figures, there were also images of various rare beasts and plants. At the same time, colorful light was faintly shot from the roof, and there were obviously countless mysterious gems inlaid there.

At the end of the hall, above many steps is a tall throne with a canopy carved like a helmet on it. On the wall behind the throne, there is a big tree inlaid with gems into a blooming tree.

Of course, this is the throne of the real Gondor King, but it is not something that Gondor Regent can sit. Now the Regent Denaser dares not surpass his identity and sit on it.

On the wide staircase at the lowest level below the throne was placed a simple black stone chair, and Dinaser held a scepter and sat on this stone chair.

After that, it was almost the plot. Gandalf originally wanted to conceal Aragon's affairs, but only wanted to tell Denaser that the city defense should be rectified, ignited the beacon tower, and sent Red Zhu Jian to Rohan's cavalry king Xiyoudun for help. These things were what Xiyoudun asked at the time.

But Denaser first asked his beloved son how he died with a white horn that broke in half, and then used a mocking tone to say through the Aragon thing that Gandalf intended to hide. He had seen some future through the True Knowledge Crystal Ball preserved in the White Tower of Minas Tiris.

Denaser said firmly that he would not hand over the right to return Gondor to Aragon, and that he also got enough information through the True Knowledge Crystal Ball that Gandalf did not need to make any comments. Later, he politely sent Gandalf out of the meeting hall on the pretext of convening a military meeting and arranged guest rooms for Gandalf, Meili, Yu Mingxia and others.

Of course Gandalf was very dissatisfied with Denath's attitude. He was not a guest at Minas Tiris, but he had no choice but to deal with Denath. After all, the other party was the regent of the Gondor Kingdom and the current ruler. Moreover, Denath knew that Gandalf wanted to help Aragon seize power, he did not immediately arrest the conspiracy to seize power and imprison him, and arranged accommodation for him. It was already very good.

So Gandalf forced himself to leave the hall, and on the platform at the top of Minas Tiris, he shouted to complain to Meili, Yu Mingxia and others, angrily scolding Denaser for using sadness as an excuse, but did nothing.

Of course, in the hall of the government, in order to repay Denath's son and the members of the Nine Rings Guards, Merry voluntarily became Denath's Imperial Guards soldier and loyal to Denath. Although Denath did not trust the Hobbit who followed Gandalf, he still hypocritically agreed and enthroned him as a knight.

Although Gandalf was furious on the platform, he quickly regained his peace. Although Denaser began to be wary of his arrival, Gandalf could let go of his hands and feet and do his own thing.

He began to promote the return of Aragon among the residents of Minas Tiris with his fame, and positioned himself as the messenger of the future king. Then he appointed Yu Mingxia and the others to secretly light the beacon tower.

With Yu Mingxia's skills, it is naturally much easier to do this than Meili's secretly ignite the beacon tower in the original plot. All of this was done smoothly. Obviously, Tiandao did not increase the difficulty for Yu Mingxia and the others in these aspects.

Something happened later, which made Gandalf’s reputation among the people of Minas Tiris, that is, he led Yu Mingxia, Zhang Donglin, Fang Tianyu, and Ma Yuandong out of the city to respond to the investigation and returned from the investigation and was chased by five ring spirits.

Gandalf's divine light was revealed and forced five ring spirits to retreat before everyone. The white-robed wizard Mislanda was sought after by the people of Minas Tiris.

Most importantly, Farage, who had never been valued by Denaser, was persuaded by Gandalf and welcomed Aragon's return very much and was willing to support Aragon as the king of Gondor.

Unfortunately, after learning about Farame's intention, Dinaser forced Farame to reinforce the Osgirias Port Fortress. As a result, Farame discovered that the Osgirias Port Fortress had been occupied by the Soren Legion. He and the soldiers he summoned were shot back by the Soren Legion ambushed in the fortress, and Farame returned seriously injured.

After Boromir's death, Farame was very popular in the Gondor army. This ending made many city defense troops in Minas Tiris betray their regent and surrender to Gandalf, the envoy of the Orthodox King of Gondor. Even some of the regent's personal guards and guards were surrendered to Gandalf.

It can be said that Denaser has lost confidence and ignored political affairs. A large part of the reason is that he found that he had lost control of Minas Tiris. Now his order can only command the few guards who were loyal to him in the hall of the government, which is really not allowed to leave the hall.

It can only be said that the appeal of the royal bloodline in the Middle Earth world is too strong. Dinaser is just a regent. When the real king returns, he needs a signal to gain the hearts of the people and the army. Dinaser is incredibly losing the power of the regent.

The beloved son died and asked his other son to die with his own hands. Now he lost his power again. Dinaser is really decadent. Perhaps he has seen some future scenes in the True Knowledge Crystal Ball of the White Tower. Those future prophecies are also very unfavorable to him, so he did not take any measures to regain his power. He ate and drank all day long in the congress hall. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether Minas Tiris can defeat Sauron. If he wins and loses his power.

But although Gandalf actually gained control of Minas Tiris City, he only organized the defense of Minas Tiris City, losing the defense buffer of Osgiris Port Fortress and the Ramas Wall built around the Palano Plain. They will directly face the tens of thousands of Sorens army commanded by the head of the Ring Spirit, Angma Witch King, who has complete siege equipment and strong combat power. Whether it can be defended is in Gandalf's heart, in the hearts of Yu Mingxia and the selected people of the Heavenly Way, in the hearts of all the soldiers and civilians of Minas Tiris.

Now standing on the fourth city wall command tower of Minas Tiris, Gandalf, Yu Mingxia and others looked at the Sauron army on the Palano Plain and couldn't help but look to the north and south.

It has been three days since they came to Minas Tiris. The road to the north was blocked by the Sorens army. I wonder if King Xiyoudon of the Rohanate Cavalry could lead the cavalry to aid. Although the beacon tower had been lit and Gandalf also sent the vermilion arrows in the name of Gondor, Soren's army was so huge in front of him. In fact, Gandalf himself could estimate the number of cavalry troops that the Rohanate could gather. Even if they came, would it be useful?

The wise Gandalf also began to doubt the future. He did not know whether he could complete the mission given to him by the Creator God, and whether everything he did now made sense.

As for Yu Mingxia and the others were more concerned about the south of Gondor and the direction of Osgilias port, because they knew that to win this battle, they would ultimately rely on the army of undead, and the prompts on their mission bracelet also told them to wait for the undead army brought by Aragon to arrive.

But everything can be as they wish, and most importantly, can they keep Minas Tiris before?
