Chapter 256 The Hymn of Mankind Is the Hymn of Courage

"Judging from the current situation, by the time he comes back with the dragon-slaying skill, we will have been burned to ashes by Smaug!" Denethor was somewhat dissatisfied. He didn't leave early or late, but he disappeared at the critical moment. Who is it? Everyone will have a grudge.

"Sir, what should we do?" the guard asked cautiously.

"Take it one step at a time, and stabilize Smaug first. With our current strength, fighting head-on is a waste of time. We must wait until Saruman comes back," Denethor replied.

The guards immediately turned around and left, conveying the prime minister's words to various combat departments.

Boromir naturally knows it, and he is both wise and courageous and does not intend to be reckless. After all, he is not leading an army to fight in a deserted wilderness. There are countless civilian families behind him. They should not become victims of a meaningless war. .

So, he put down the bow and arrow in his hand, looked up at Chu Xin with his head held high, took a deep breath and said loudly, "The white-robed wizard is not in the city at the moment, but he will come back to fight you soon. You can wait here. , and I hope you can keep your promise."

Chu Xin saw that he didn't seem to be lying, and he immediately understood that Saruman wanted to watch the fire from the other side, and then benefit from the situation of the snipe and the clam fighting.

So, he swooped down suddenly, braked dangerously when approaching the building complex, and then swept across the entire White City from bottom to top at close range, his burning eyes like the eyes of death. Finally, he came to the palace at the top, standing alone with Denethor looked at each other.

Even in the face of the White God of Death, the Prime Minister of Gondor was calm and fearless, and his demeanor was like that of a general who was about to die heroically.

It only took him a few minutes to go from being panicked at the beginning to risking his life to survive. This kind of psychological quality is extremely valuable.

"Smaug, if you want to fight, we will accompany you. Even if we are burned to ashes by your dragon fire, history will remember the last glory of White City." Denethor is still the brave general he once was in his heart, and at this time, he I haven't been completely driven crazy by Sauron yet.

As soon as the words fell, the Gondor soldiers below them all shouted loudly, and their roars full of murderous intent and fighting spirit showed their determination.

If they had wings, they would definitely fly into the sky without hesitation and fight fiercely with their lives.

At this moment, Chu Xin remembered what the famous philosopher William A. Zeppelin said, "The hymn of mankind is the hymn of courage, and the greatness of mankind is the greatness of courage."

We have to admit that Gondor can become the representative and responsible of the human race, and there is no need to question its qualities.

Without waiting for Chu Xin to reply, Denethor continued, "But before that, I want to know why you are chasing Saruman? And why are you showing mercy to us?"

Chu Xin immediately understood that the prime minister in front of him wanted to delay time.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the bold words he just said were staged.

After all, Denethor is not a soldier who only needs to kill the enemy, but the leader of Gondor who needs to plan the overall situation and take into account the country. He cannot rush forward as bravely as his son Boromir. Every step he takes determines the fate of Gondor. Destiny, so we are destined to be brave and resourceful.

Courage is to improve the morale of the soldiers and civilians so as not to decline before the battle, and the significance of planning goes without saying.

"Saruman has betrayed Middle-earth and devoted himself to Mordor," Chu Xin said calmly, "You can be suspicious, but I will not give you an explanation."

When the previous sentence spread throughout the city, most people's minds were buzzing and they did not hear the additional explanation at all.

"It just said that the white-robed wizard betrayed us?"

"Can you believe the words of dark creatures? Saruman is the number one wizard in Middle-earth. Is it necessary for the majestic leader of the White Order to seek refuge in Mordor?"

"But it's incredible that Smaug didn't hurt us."

"It's probably a conspiracy, but we still don't believe it."

"Alas, actually we don't know much about Saruman either~ Who knows who he is behind the scenes?"

"You all know Gandalf the Gray. Even Gandalf respects Saruman, so there is no possibility of Saruman betraying him."

"They all say that the dragon is treacherous and sinister. Today I have seen it. It starts to confuse people with its evil words."

People are talking a lot. Between Saruman and Chu Xin, any normal person will prefer the former.

There is nothing to question about this. Even Chu Xin is very clear about his current image and the historical setting of General Mordor, which is hard for him to believe.

However, Chu Xin was not interested in making them trust him, let alone explaining. It had nothing to do with him whether they believed it or not. If they insisted on starting a war, he would not mind inflicting a small bloody punishment.

"Be quiet and let's see how my father responds." Boromir also didn't believe what Chu Xin said. It had nothing to do with who said it. Even if it was Gandalf who said it, he would find it unbelievable.

This is like Zhang Zhiwei, the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, who suddenly and inexplicably surrendered to America, and America's air force general said this.

Not to mention others, Chu Xin himself felt that it was outrageous.

"You said Saruman surrendered to Mordor?" Denethor murmured in astonishment. This was indeed an unimagined path.

He pursed his lips, not knowing how to communicate for a while. If Saruman really surrendered to the enemy, then some of the unusual details in the past few days would be explained.

However, Denethor did not dare to be certain at will, and could only classify both the wizard and the dragon into the area of ​​"doubt".

call!

Chu Xin landed in the palace square, lowered his head and stared, "I want to ask you one last time, is he here?"

Buzz——

The terrifying murderous aura gathered into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​​​blood emerged. Denesor, who was ten meters away, trembled and leaned back. There was a roar in his head. The strong mental impact made his mind go blank. He answered vaguely, "No, he's not here. I left early this morning.”

An ordinary human being cannot resist the pressure of Chu Xin's soul. You must know that this is the accumulation of bloody battles in many worlds. One look can make people feel collapsed.

"Saruman really took the crystal ball, otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence."

Wow!

Chu Xin flapped his wings and flew high, leaving Baicheng neatly.

The soldiers and civilians in the city were stunned, and the huge contrast between Chu Xin made them overwhelmed.

"Has this Smaug really changed his mind? Not only did he kill many people in Loen, but he also treated us with both force and softness. I really can't figure it out." Denethor said to himself in confusion.

at the same time.

In a hidden valley far away from the White City, Saruman was staring angrily at the crystal ball in front of him.

In the picture, Chu Xin flew away from Baicheng. Apart from the damaged city walls and air pollution, there were no casualties in Baicheng!

Saruman admitted that he had miscalculated.

The most critical point is that he believed that after Chu Xin arrived in White City, he would go on a killing spree and form an irresolvable hatred with Gondor, causing the Gondor soldiers and civilians to regard death as home, and then both sides would die.

But I never expected that the bloodthirsty dragon, who was extremely cruel and ferocious in Isengard, would actually talk about martial arts like this, like an outsider who overlooked all living beings.

The sparks of the bloody battle between the two sides have not been ignited, so naturally there is no way to take advantage of it.

"Double standard!" Saruman cursed secretly.

Anger is anger, but you still have to calmly think about your next path.

Baicheng cannot return, and Denethor has already become suspicious.

"There is only one place left, Sauron. I will eventually have to face you, but I am bound to get the Supreme Lord of the Rings." (End of Chapter)
