“Uooa ...
In the pitch-black tower standing on the plain, an old man with white hair and white robe was shaking on the ground and screaming in pain.
A part of his spirit was completely destroyed by Fang Zheng. The pain was no less than tearing a limb from a living person. It was as if fire was devouring the flesh and blood from the inside of the body. It was enough to drive a normal person crazy. Even Saruman was lying on the ground at this moment, screaming in unbearable pain.
After a long while, he gradually stopped, then Saruman slowly stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and hatred and hostility appeared in his eyes.
That man...I must kill him!
Rising, Saruman walked out of the room and looked at the orcs standing outside.
"Gather all the troops and prepare to launch a full-scale attack on Rohan!"
No matter how powerful that man was, he was powerless in the face of sheer numbers.
Saruman clenched his fists and roared silently in his heart.
Rohan, it's mine!!!
For Rohan, he is also in great crisis at the moment.
Although Fang Zheng helped the old king break free from the control of the corrupt wizard Saruman, it was too late. During the period when the old king was controlled by Saruman, the White Wizard had gathered a sufficient number of troops. In addition to the orcs who represented the embodiment of evil, he also persuaded the Dunlendings who had been expelled from Rohan to join forces to invade Rohan.
Originally, Saruman's idea was to manipulate the old king and capture Rohan without bloodshed. But now his plan has obviously failed, so he might as well just attack directly.
Facing the attack of Saruman's army, Rohan had almost no power to fight back. Although the prince and the second marshal were still there, the strength of the Kingdom of Rohan also plummeted under the conspiracy of Grima, who had betrayed the king and colluded with Saruman. So even if Grima was executed and the old king regained consciousness, they still had no way to deal with this terrible army.
But this has nothing to do with Fang Zheng.
The reason why he helped the other party to treat the old king was simply to repay Rohan for being willing to provide him with an area for the repair of the Lightning. As for the war in Middle-earth, Fang Zheng had no interest in participating in it.
After all, as long as the ring is destroyed, the no-fly zone will be lifted, and then he will continue on his journey to track down White Frost.
As for Zoro and the like...let's just leave it to the protagonists of this world to deal with.
So after that, Fang Zheng returned to the Lightning and told the busy girls some stories about this world.
"Another war?"
After listening to Fang Zheng's story, Qianhu frowned slightly and showed a dissatisfied expression.
"Why do humans have to fight wars?"
"Is it because you're hungry?"
You Li leaned her face on the table and spoke with a lazy expression. Hearing their conversation, Fang Zheng laughed and took a sip of coffee.
"Men will fight when hungry, but they will also fight when well-fed."
"I really don't know why these people are fighting. What's the good of war?"
As someone who comes from a world that was completely destroyed by war, Qianhu has really no interest in war.
"Struggle is the instinct of survival, whether it is internal or external, and humans believe that there are many things more important than life and more worth protecting."
"……I can not understand."
Qianhu shook his head silently.
"Is it the dignity, freedom, or something else written in the books? I don't understand what the use of that is. For us, nothing is more important than living. Is dignity and freedom more important than living? When a person dies, won't there be nothing left?"
"You think so, but others don't think so."
Fang Zheng shrugged.
"You see, you think nothing is more important than life, but someone is willing to use his life to defend something he thinks is more important than life, so you see, conflict arises."
“…”
This time, Qianhu fell silent, but after a moment, she shook her head again.
"I still don't understand."
"War, War never changes. It doesn't matter whether you understand it or not. In fact, it's fine if you don't understand it. After all, everyone has different values. You can't force everyone to have the same ideas as you. Of course, if someone wants to kill you when you return to this world, not because you stole their food, nor because of any hatred between you, but just wants to completely make you disappear from this world, then will you choose to surrender? Or resist to the end?"
“…”
Qianhu said nothing, but Yuri just chuckled.
"Qianhu just likes to think too much. As for me, as long as I can eat well and sleep well, that's enough."
At this moment, Theo suddenly spoke, interrupting the conversation.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, someone is approaching."
"Oh? Bring up the picture."
Fang Zheng turned around and saw a scene of the grassland appearing on the monitor in front of him. In the scene, a group of cavalrymen were holding a flag and galloping towards this side at a rapid speed.
The leader was none other than the Prince of Rohan. He led the cavalry to the bottom of the Lightning and shouted loudly.
"Sir! Sir are you there?! Sir!"
“Haha…”
Fang Zheng stood up helplessly.
"I'll go see what's going on."
At the same time, below the Lightning, the prince of Rohan, Théodred, was holding high his flag and calling out for Fang Zheng's orders. He came here for only one reason, and that was to seek Fang Zheng's help. Saruman's army had already entered Rohan, and the army led by his friend was vulnerable to Saruman's army and was directly defeated. Under such circumstances, the old king decisively decided to abandon the capital and lead his people to move to the fortress of Helm's Deep.
But Saruman's orc army obviously would not let them go, so the old king decided to fight to the death with the other side in Helm's Deep. They needed the help of allies, but the elves and dwarves had long disappeared, and Gondor had to face the threat of Mordor, and Rohan did not trust Gondor.
Under such circumstances, the prince and his friends thought of Fang Zheng and his giant metal bird. When they first saw it, they felt that it was definitely a weapon of war. That was why he came here with a group of personal guards, hoping to ask for Fang Zheng's help.
After a long while, the prince saw a huge metal door slowly falling not far away, and then Fang Zheng walked out from it.
"What's wrong? What happened? Could it be that the old king has had a relapse?"
"No, sir, His Majesty is well."
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, the prince breathed a sigh of relief and then spoke hurriedly.
"We came here this time to ask for your help."
Then, in front of Fang Zheng, the prince told him the news that Saruman's army of orcs had entered the country, and Rohan was in danger and would have to fight a last-ditch battle at Helm's Deep, and at the same time bowed his head to him.
"The people of Rohan are in distress, my lord. We hope you can lend a helping hand. We will be grateful...!"
"Um……"
Facing the prince's plea, Fang Zheng touched his chin.
"Your Highness, you should know that the reason I helped you rescue the king is because you gave me a place to repair my warship. This is even between us. Frankly speaking, as a traveler, I don't really want to get involved in this kind of war."
"But, but, we have no way out, sir."
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, the prince suddenly panicked.
"We need your help, and the people of Rohan also need your help! As warriors, we are not afraid of dying on the battlefield, but there are so many women and children...!! If you can help us repel Saruman's army, we will be very grateful! If you need anything, we can give it to you!"
"Anything? Even the Ring?"
"this……"
"Haha, just kidding."
Looking at the prince's confused expression, Fang Zheng chuckled.
"Okay, I get it, but I need to think about this. You guys go back first. If we go, we'll be there. If we don't go, you'll know by then... Okay, thank you for your hard work. You can go now."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng made a gesture to see the guest off, and the prince hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Okay sir, we'll leave now. We hope to fight alongside you!"
After saying this, the prince turned around on his horse and left with his men. Fang Zheng put his hands behind his back and watched them disappear to the other side before returning to the warship.
"Well, I think you all saw it."
Back in the war room, Fang Zheng looked at the girls in front of him.
"Rohan has come asking for our help. What is your choice?"
"Of course I'll help, big brother!"
Ling raised her hand high, and Theo and Tita nodded.
"Those bad guys are going to invade this country and kill their people. We can't just stand by and watch!"
"I agree too!"
Qiya also raised her hand.
Fang Zheng nodded, then looked at Qianhu and Yuri.
"So, what do you think?"
"……I have no idea."
Facing Fang Zheng's question, Qian Hu still had a complicated expression and shook his head. Yu Li waved her hand, indicating that she abstained.
"Well, four votes in favor and two abstentions... well, this is also a good opportunity."
Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Qianhu and Yuli.
"Let me show you what war is like."
After saying this, Fang Zheng sat back in his chair.
"Okay, start the Lightning, we're ready to set off for Helm's Deep."
