Théoden's face broke into a smile as he said, "Wizard, I will give you enough compensation, but only if you can survive!"
"Then I thank King Théoden."
In at most two days, he would be able to see all mbers of the Fellowship of the Ring.
Théoden did not continue to pay attention to Yang Tao, but instead surveyed the city's defenses, saying loudly, "The Army of Saruman, attacking this fortress will be like throwing stones into water."
"Crops can be replanted, and hos can be rebuilt. Guarding within these high walls, they will be helpless!"
These words, like setting a flag, imdiately drew a rebuttal from Aragorn, who looked at the conscripted commoners around him and said, "The Army of Saruman will not only destroy crops and hos, they will also kill all the people of Rohan, even the children will be wiped out..."
The wind on the city wall was a bit boisterous, blowing Théoden's hair into a ss. He heard Aragorn's words, stopped his steps, turned around, grabbed Aragorn by the collar, and whispered, "What else do you want to do?"
"Look at my n, their courage hangs by a thread. If this is our Apocalypse, then I will make this Apocalypse epic, enough for future generations to rember!"
Théoden had deliberately spoken loudly just now to instill courage in his subordinates. In such a situation, if he showed any signs of retreat or fear, his subordinates' morale would definitely collapse.
Aragorn naturally knew this, and looking at Théoden, he said, "Your Majesty, send out ssengers, you must ask for help!"
"Ask for help?"
Théoden sneered and said, "From whom? Elves? Dwarves? We are not as lucky as you in making friends. The old alliance has long since expired..."
His tone was full of distrust towards other races.
"Gondor will respond."
This na seed to ignite the anger in Théoden's heart. He stared at Aragorn and said with a hint of mockery, "Gondor?"
"Why didn't Gondor co when Westfold fell? Why didn't Gondor co when the enemy surrounded us? Kanazawa in..."
At this point, Théoden suddenly deflated and said, "No, Lord Aragorn... We can only fight alone."
Théoden's tone was full of helplessness, and then he turned and left, to command others to continue reinforcing the city's defenses.
The Elf archer Légolas walked up to Aragorn and said, "These people are no match for the Army of Saruman. We only have 300 people now... Even with the protection of the city walls, it's impossible to be a match for the Army of Saruman."
Yang Tao, who was following behind, suddenly paused and looked around at the armored soldiers, counting their numbers.
It was really as the Elf Légolas said, there were only about three or four hundred people here.
"Excuse , may I ask how many people are in the Army of Saruman?"
The Dwarf warrior Gimli heard him and looked up at him, saying gruffly, "At least ten thousand elite soldiers! This is an army that can destroy the world! Wizard, if you are afraid, you can hide in the caves..."
Yang Tao: "..."
He pulled a cigarette from his backpack, put it in his mouth, then took out the lighter Kanazawa gave him in Girls' Last Tour and lit the cigarette.
His gaze turned to the huge valley outside Hornburg, and he murmured, "Ten thousand..."
Damn, that's a bit of a difference!
He had thought Saruman had a million-strong army, but ten thousand so-called elite soldiers...
Never mind, considering King Théoden currently only has three hundred subordinates, ten thousand elite soldiers is truly an impressive number.
Although he didn't think much of the Black Watch troops, they now already had nearly 1.8 million soldiers...
The Dwarf warrior Gimli, seeing Yang Tao's expression, shouted in a loud voice, "Human boy, are you scared? It's fine, just follow . I will ensure your safety until I fall!"
Throughout the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy, Yang Tao's evaluation of Gimli was that he was a good person, but unfortunately, he had a mouth.
"Scared? There's no such word as 'scared' in my life motto. To be honest, it's just that Théoden can't afford the price. If he could afford it, I could go to Mordor and kill Sauron right now!"
He took a puff of his cigarette, and smoke swirled.
Gimli's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this, his posture as if he had seen a kindred spirit.
It's a pity this boasting attitude doesn't belong to a Dwarf.
"Friend, we must have a drink together soti. I'll tell you about my legendary journey before."
Yang Tao looked at the stocky Dwarf and smiled, "No problem. If you have ti at noon, we can find a place."
Practical people like to be with practical people.
That handso Elf next to him is also good, but it's a pity he's a male.
Aragorn looked at Yang Tao and said, "I was there when the guards reported earlier. I think you dare to stay here, you shouldn't be a Lunatic..."
"Lunatic" was naturally referring to Yang Tao's earlier boast about being a god.
"Lunatic? Hehe, Aragorn, who can say for sure."
Aragorn was simply a lady-killer. To be honest, according to his aesthetic standards, this guy was at most average, completely not as handso as the deceased Boromir.
However, this guy's popularity with won was simply incredible, with Elf princesses and human princesses all flocking to him.
"Aragorn, the Elf reinforcents will arrive by evening, and Gandalf will lead the Rohan cavalry to support at dawn. So you only need to hold out for one night."
This news made Aragorn's expression change slightly, and a look of disbelief appeared in his blue eyes as he asked, "Is what you said true?"
This news was truly too important for Aragorn.
"That's right, you'll know when the Elves arrive in the evening."
As he spoke, Yang Tao's face showed a regrettable expression, saying, "All the Elves coming are male Elves, not a single female Elf."
The Elf archer Légolas said, "Male Elves are stronger, and the Elf archer units are naturally male Elves."
"Tsk, males are fine too, as long as they're pleasing to the eye..."
The Elf archer Légolas glared at Yang Tao: 'You big idiot, what are you trying to do?'
Aragorn looked at Yang Tao seriously and said, "Let introduce myself, Aragorn II. Thank you for the news you brought."
"Yang Tao. You can consider a rchant."
Gimli paused and asked, "Are you not a Wizard?"
"Wizard is just a side job. I have too many professions. I have so involvent in most professions you can imagine."
Yang Tao's words made Gimli look shocked. What a profound skill in showing off, even more so than the most popular Dwarf in the Dwarf tavern!!
