Chapter 186: Are you still cheap?
Prince Xiyoude tapped the table a few times. The crisp knocking sound seemed to have a strange magic, which instantly quieted the noisy tent. But this was not because his prestige had increased. In fact, after this unbelievable thing happened, everyone present had fallen into a state of panic. The previous quarrel was just a way for them to vent the fear and anxiety in their hearts.
Because he had been tipped off in advance, Xi Youde was the first person among all people to learn of this shocking news, but even now, he still found it hard to believe that all this was actually true.
Lin Yu actually opened the border and let the orc army in... Everyone here knew the deep meaning of this action.
The Doomsday Volcanic Basin looked completely different a long time ago. It used to be a beautiful and rich place, with charming scenery that was almost as beautiful as the Lingu and Rosemeng Forest, as well as fertile and abundant farmland that looked like a picture scroll.
However, after the Dark Lord Sauron chose it as his base and began to mass-produce orcs, in just over half a year, a paradise on earth that was once full of vitality was reduced to the hell-like existence it is today.
Even though the legend was too old, and no one except the oldest elves had ever witnessed its former beauty, the changes in Isengard had recently happened under everyone's eyes. A magic tower that was originally surrounded by forests had now become a terrifying scene that was almost the same as Mordor, with cracks on the ground, scorched earth everywhere, and no one living, as if it were a cursed wasteland.
Now there is intelligence that Saruman has created a new type of undead creature called "zombie orcs" with dark magic and some evil power, creating an extremely terrifying army. This army is difficult to kill, can march during the day, and can also transform the creatures they kill into undead zombies.
A nearly invincible army...
"We can't let the zombie orc army enter Rohan unhindered..." Although His Royal Highness tried his best to remain calm, his slightly trembling voice still revealed the waves in his heart. He slowly said: "Our army must stop Saruman and his zombie army."
"What do you mean?" Everyone frowned, their faces full of confusion and anger, "Are you asking us to fight for Rohan? Why should our soldiers bleed to defend Rohan's land? Why should they risk their lives for that evil and shameless Lin Yu? This is his responsibility and his obligation~~~~!"
"Because if we don't fight, then millions of people in Rohan will all become undead zombies. Because when all the people in Rohan die, it will be your country and your people's turn next! If we don't fight, these innocent people won't even have a chance to escape, and by then, you will be facing millions of zombies! Even more than the total population of all your countries combined. There will no longer be any safe place in the entire Middle-earth! Humanity will be extinct!"
Prince Hiyod was like a crazy orator, he slammed the table hard, the huge sound exploded in the tent like thunder. He roared loudly, his momentum was like a surging wave, completely overwhelmed everyone, and the horrific scene of the future described by him made everyone feel chilled to the bone.
"...Are we just going to...let that damn Lin Yu hide behind and watch us fight to the death with Saruman's orc zombies? I...I really can't reconcile this~~~~!"
This was the common feeling of almost everyone present. They had clearly come to conquer the Sea God Temple and Lin Yu from the perspective of a punisher, but what about now? Not only was the whereabouts of the target unknown, but they were also in a dilemma of having to fight for him. This was truly the most cruel irony.
"We... do we have any other choice now..." His Royal Highness's body seemed to have lost all strength, and he slumped in his seat. His eyes were dim, and his face was a desperate smile. He came to fight Lin Yu with full of blood, vowing to take back his lover, his country, and his people, but he never thought that he would lose completely without even seeing Lin Yu, and he no longer had the room to turn over.
“I lost… I lost completely… I lost because I’m not as ruthless as you, not as ruthless as you… Lin Yu, you can give millions of people of Rohan to Saruman without a care, you can abandon Rohan without a care, but I, I can’t do that, so… I will never be able to beat you… I can’t run away, I can’t leave my country, my people… But maybe for me… this is already the best ending… In this way, my soul will have a little face and dare to face the British kings of all generations… Dad… I’m sorry…”
Along the way, the white-robed wizard Gandalf's face became worse and worse, just like the darkening sky. Even though he had lived for a long time and had seen countless big scenes, he was still shocked by the horrific scenes along the way and was speechless.
Saruman, as the former president of the White Council, his wisdom, his magic, and his methods are so impressive that even his enemies cannot help but admire him.
Previously, with the help of the fortress, the power of the Ents, and of course the most important thing was that Rohan's soldiers were not afraid of life and death and always maintained a firm will under the support of fanatical faith, Rohan's border line was able to hold out until now.
After Lin Yu issued the order to retreat, the biochemical orc troops rushed in like a flood. Wherever the army passed, whether it was a quiet village or a vibrant pasture, it fell into a dead silence, leaving no people or animals behind, and everywhere was a scorched earth, and the dirty blood seemed to have covered the ground with a thick red carpet.
Crows flocked over the half-rotten corpses, pecking at the stinking carrion excitedly. The eyes of these crows emitted a strange blood-red light, as if they were eroded by evil forces.
When Lin Yu, Gandalf and Legolas came to a ruin, Gandalf finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and the anger was like a volcano about to erupt. The old man in white robe glared at Lin Yu and shouted: "You lunatic! You idiot! Look at what you have done? Don't you know? Millions of people will lose their lives just because of your order!"
