Chapter 187 Unable to Refute
"Then what do you want me to do?" Facing the furious Archmage, Lin Yu tilted his head slightly, and asked back with doubt in his eyes: "Do you want me to let my believers be slaughtered by the coalition forces, and at the same time order my troops to fight to the death for the happiness and well-being of the enemy?"
"you……"
Even the knowledgeable and eloquent wizard in white robes was froze by Lin Yu's question. Although Lin Yu's act of opening the door to thieves undoubtedly gave the entire western and southern regions of Middle-earth to Saruman and his army of biochemical orcs, it can be said that he did a terrible thing that would be infamous for thousands of years, but if he thought about it carefully, logically speaking, he really had no need and no responsibility to continue to hold on.
The kings of Rohan never dared to mobilize the troops stationed at the border, no matter what kind of crisis they encountered, even when the country was on the verge of extinction. Just like in the original plot of the movie, King Théoden of Rohan was forced into a desperate situation by Saruman's orc army, but he did not mobilize Rohan's border cavalry. In the end, it was Gandalf who found reinforcements to save his life.
The reason why the white wizard Saruman took so much effort, even splitting his soul and possessing the body of King Theoden, was to eliminate this biggest thorn in his side in one fell swoop. Otherwise, a small number of troops would be fine, but the army would never spare the border guards of Rohan.
Rohan and Gondor, like two solid doors, guarded the exit of the Doomsday Volcano Basin tightly and kept the Dark Lord Sauron inside.
For the Royal Family of Rohan, guarding the gates of Middle-earth and keeping the Orcs out is like a noble mission full of honor, and it is their innate responsibility. This also seems to have become a matter of course in the minds of other countries in Middle-earth, something that does not need to be explained. Since the coalition army marched into Rohan, no matter the kings, ministers, or even Prince Siyud, had ever thought that the border guards would be evacuated.
It was not until Lin Yu usurped power that this guy with unknown origins and no sense of integrity and responsibility became the Lord of Rohan that he opened the border without hesitation and let the biochemical orc army in. His reason was so simple... "Why should my army bleed and sacrifice for its enemies?"
Even Gandalf could not defend this reason. He sighed heavily, and that sigh seemed to contain endless helplessness and entanglement. He turned around and said no more, but his slightly trembling back showed the ripples in his heart.
"But if you do this, the people of Rohan will also suffer heavy casualties." Legolas came over and continued. After witnessing the tragic scenes of the elves being brutally slaughtered, the elven prince was no longer as kind and innocent as in the original plot of the movie. Especially the elves fought against the Dark Lord Sauron, and they were also fighting for the future of other races in Middle-earth, but the dwarves still shamelessly attacked the two holy cities one after another, slaughtering tens of thousands of elves... If the elves had not put all their energy on Mordor, as long as they had been on guard against the dwarves early, they would never have suffered such a great loss. Therefore, the elven prince was also indignant about the human beings' ungrateful and ungrateful behavior. Questioning Lin Yu at this time was just to give Gandalf a way out.
Lin Yu looked at Legolas quietly, without any guilt or regret in his eyes. He just said calmly: "I have given them the opportunity to choose, and they chose to be my enemy. I can't let my people die in vain because of their mistakes. Those who believe in me and are willing to follow my guidance can evacuate in time. As for those who are unwilling to believe in me and follow me, I have no obligation or responsibility for their life and death."
Lin Yu stared at Legolas quietly, his eyes were calm, without any guilt or regret. He just said calmly: "I have given them the opportunity to choose, and they resolutely chose to be my enemy. I will never let my people die in vain because of their wrong decision. Those who believe in me and are willing to follow my guidance will have enough time to evacuate in time. As for those who are unwilling to believe me and follow me, I have no obligation or responsibility for their life and death."
Suddenly, a creepy roar came from afar, and it sounded like the roar of a demon from the abyss of hell. Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to it, and they saw a giant with an extremely strange body shape frantically attacking two people in the distance.
The monster was about three meters tall, and its skin looked rotten and rotten, presenting a disgusting appearance. The monster's upper body muscles were abnormally developed, especially its right arm, which was extremely thick and almost directly hung to the ground. On its right shoulder, there was a giant eyeball as big as a basin, covered with bloodshot and extremely hideous.
"Is this the evil creature that Saruman created with his dark magic?" Gandalf's face showed a serious expression. Although the strength of this monster was not worth mentioning in his eyes, just imagining that Saruman's biochemical orc army was made up of this kind of thing, the old wizard still felt a deep headache.
"What a disgusting fellow..." Legolas said as he quickly drew his bow and arrows. Almost instantly, three black arrows flew towards the monster's forehead, neck and heart in a triangular shape. Needless to say, the Elf Prince's archery skills were superb. In an instant, the three arrows pierced through the body like lightning, creating three fist-sized transparent holes in the body of the mutant zombie. However, this guy just roared strangely, as if he had not suffered any substantial damage.
It did not continue to attack the person in front of it, but staggered back to look over. Then, the giant eye on its shoulder suddenly lit up, and a blood-red blazing light shot out from its pupil, shooting straight at Legolas.
Gandalf snorted softly and raised his staff. A milky white light shield suddenly appeared in front of everyone like a shield. Red light shone on the light shield and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Lin Yu smiled slightly and slowly raised his right hand. An energy wave with a trace of faith power shot out in an instant, hitting the mutant zombie's chest in the blink of an eye. After hitting it, the energy wave began to spread like a chain of lightning.
Looking at the two people who were stunned, Lin Yu smiled slightly and said, "Are you from the Sea God Temple? Then may I ask, have all the troops evacuated according to my order? Where are they stationed now?"
