A motorcycle journey through the worlds

Chapter 111 Revolving Lantern

The time was not too long ago, just one or two hours ago. These dead guys were withdrawn from the battlefield. When they left, the battle was not over yet. One side of the participants was the elite coalition of barbarians and orcs, and the other side was probably Rohan's regular army. They were well-equipped, almost all cavalry.

Hmm, there is a river in the background, where is this? Fortunately, Legilimency is quite useful. Through the memories of other souls, I learned that one of the participants was Prince Sjord, the only son of King Sjoden of Rohan, and he was at the crossing of the River Isen.

The Isen River originates at the junction of the Misty Forest and the Pass of Rohan. The source of the water is the melted ice and snow on the Misty Mountains. The Isen River is one of the most important rivers in the west of Rohan, feeding hundreds of thousands of people. As for the Isen River Ferry, it is the most important river transport hub on this river, responsible for the allocation and transfer of the entire river transport.

However, at this moment, this place has become another slaughterhouse. Unlike the villages that were massacred before, the dead here are not only civilians, but also Rohan soldiers in bright silver armor, dirty barbarian warriors, and terrifying and disgusting orcs. After being madly destroyed by the cursed King Theoden and the treacherous minister Grima Wormtongue, the military system of the Kingdom of Rohan has long lost its ability to function normally. The three major war zones have basically lost contact with the central government and have fallen into a situation where they are acting independently and cannot support each other. The military strength of the powerful cavalry country Rohan has become a pitiful second- or third-rate state.

Not long ago, the handsome, brave and beloved Prince Theodul, the only beloved son of King Theoden, suddenly received a secret report that the crossing of the Iseng River and the entire Rohan Kingdom near the Misty Mountains and Isengard would be attacked by the Orcs and the Barbarians. Although this secret report was presented to King Theoden, how could King Theoden, whose soul was possessed by the white wizard Saruman, and the treacherous prime minister Grima Wormtongue, who held all the military and political power of the kingdom, destroy their carefully planned conspiracy?

In the end, the isolated and helpless Prince Xiyoude could only lead his own direct guard, a total of one thousand of the most elite cavalry knights, to the Aisen River crossing area for rescue.

But what he didn't know was that even this action of his had fallen into the calculations of the two conspirators.

As the only son of King Sjoden, Prince Sjoder is the undisputed first heir according to the kingdom's laws. In addition, he is handsome, fair, brave, and kind, so no one can shake his position as the crown prince of the kingdom. As long as he exists, the royal family of the Kingdom of Rohan will not lose the support of the people, and the people will not lose hope. Even with the strong support of the military, Prince Sjoder may launch a coup to remove the cursed and lost King Sjoden from power, or even put him under house arrest, so that the kingdom can restore its original order.

…These are the things that Saruman, the white-robed wizard who possessed King Théoden, and his lackey Grima Wormtongue were always worried about. Although this scene never happened due to the high prestige accumulated by the old king in the past, it was ultimately a sword of Damocles hanging over their heads. They would not be able to rest easy until Prince Théoden was removed. And it was not easy to cast a powerful curse on a legitimate royal heir and control his soul. Even Saruman had spent countless energy and had gone through a long and long plan. He even placed his servant Grima Wormtongue infiltrated the old King Théoden, poisoned and bewitched him for a long time, and finally took action himself to gradually control Théoden's soul. So it was not realistic to repeat the same trick on Prince Théoden.

In fact, the secret military intelligence that fell into Prince Xiyoude's hands came from these two people.

They only needed to get rid of him at the crossing of the Aisin River, get rid of this future crown prince who was deeply loved by the people, and get rid of this biggest thorn in their side. Only then could they completely destroy the Kingdom of Rohan from the root and completely defeat this country of cavalry that had the most valiant and combative cavalry in the entire continent.

So when the little prince arrived at the crossing of the Aisin River, he was greeted by the elite main force of the Uruk-Octos and Barbarians who had been waiting and ambushing for a long time. Two thousand Uruk-Octos and three thousand Barbarian warriors.

This is a sure-fire situation.

The fierce battle had lasted for more than ten hours. Prince Xiyoude felt that the last bit of strength in his body had been lost along with the blood and sweat. He was really exhausted.

The young prince had never imagined that after swinging the sword for too long, even someone as skilled in swordsmanship as him would not be able to lift his arms, and that it would be so painful to have his stomach cut by that rough, dirty sword that looked like a saw.

The number of guards around him was decreasing. Those brave knights who were loyal to him and willing to sacrifice their lives to protect his safety, those friends who used to laugh and drink with him, died one after another at the hands of the orcs. How many of them were still alive? How many of the 1,000-man elite royal guards were still fighting bravely beside him?

Those damned barbarians fought without regard for their lives. Sometimes a few barbarians would suddenly throw away their crude weapons, rush up like crazy and hug the brave Rohan knights, drag them off their horses, and then bite them to death with their dirty teeth. The fighting methods of these barbarians were almost more brutal and barbaric than those of the orcs, more like wild beasts who had lost their minds.

Has the conflict between the two nations accumulated to such an extent?

If I became king, I would definitely find a way to solve this problem once and for all. I could either use gentle means to allow these barbarians to gradually integrate into Rohan, or simply use thundering means to kill them all, regardless of gender, age or young, leaving no one alive.

If I am still alive.

Father, have you completely lost your mind? Can't you see that the kingdom is suffering an unprecedented crisis and hardship?

The orcs who besieged us were not only able to move during the day, but were also much stronger than the previous orcs. Where did they come from? Oh, and they all had Saruman's unique white hand emblem on them. Could it be that the rumors were true? Did Saruman, the white-robed wizard and the president of the great White Council, really betray justice and us?

I don’t know if it’s because dying people always have a lot of thoughts, especially those things they really care about, which will flash before their eyes one by one like a "revolving lantern".
