Chapter 575 Times have changed
"I'm afraid it was Saruman who did it."
Gandalf, who also understood what happened, spoke quickly.
Saruman flew over directly with his spirit attached to the Sphere of Truth, and his speed was naturally incomparable to that of the army they led.
Whether it was Sauron who saw his miserable state and felt that he should take the initiative to attack, or Saruman instigated him.
Now the Dark Land has launched an attack on Gondor!
"It seems that there are also many Orcs in the Dark Land who are not afraid of the sun..."
The first time the Orcs appeared was in the last few years of Denethor I, and they were repelled by Boromir at that time.
Although they are difficult to deal with, they are not many in number.
Now after so many years of self-cultivation and rest, they may have cultivated a large number...
"I'm afraid it's not just the Orcs."
Tao Yu frowned and looked into the distance. Even at such a distance, he could feel an extreme dark power over there.
The purity of this dark power is not inferior to his own!
This reminded Tao Yu of the ring he felt before.
After hesitating for a while, he said to Frodo who was a little dazed.
"Frodo, did you hear any extra sounds?"
Frodo, who seemed to be a little absent-minded, reacted with a start.
As he got closer and closer to Mount Doom and the original owner of the ring, its influence was also increasing.
During this period, it has not been seen to spread its influence, but it has been focusing on conquering Frodo!
After hearing Tao Yu's words and waking up, Frodo also felt a little scared.
"Yes, I feel that I can't hold it back."
Although Frodo is a determined Hobbit and has a high resistance to the ring, he has worn it for too long.
"How about, let me do it?"
If it was just when he set out, Tao Yu's words would definitely arouse vigilance.
But through tireless efforts to improve his favorability along the way, and later leading the army to turn the tide, and stopping Saruman alone.
It can be said that Tao Yu has gained enough trust.
Apart from other things, Gandalf only gave a reminder while watching Tao Yu studying Saruman's notes, which showed their tolerance.
At this time, Tao Yu's request to take the ring reduced a lot of resistance.
"Are you sure? The closer you get, the greater the threat."
Gandalf said solemnly.
"You have also seen my power. It is because my power has too many negative effects, so my resistance is very strong. I don't know who will pollute whom."
Tao Yu spoke with facts, and Gandalf nodded and looked at Frodo.
"Frodo, you have tried your best. Now your mental state has problems. Let Mr. Tao keep it."
Frodo wanted to nod and agree, but when he thought about the ring leaving him, he felt an indescribable mania for a while.
However, the Hobbit himself was too weak.
When he wanted to put the ring on his hand, Tao Yu directly pulled the ring off his neck.
"Calm down. You should be able to recover slowly after leaving this thing behind."
Frodo shuddered again, then stepped back a few steps and nodded.
"This thing is too dangerous."
When others saw Tao Yu playing with the ring casually and putting it on his hand, they all felt sincere admiration.
The stronger the person, the more easily affected. This person is not weak!
In this case, he must have relied on his amazing willpower to force the ring down.
After Tao Yu put on the ring, he relied on his divination spirit and the resonance between the ring and the distant place, and it was completely confirmed.
Sauron should have used some extreme dark magic to do something.
"We have to speed up. It is very likely that the power of darkness has covered the sky..."
The quality of the individual strong orcs is much better than that of the half-orcs, but the number is still not enough after all.
If the elite orcs and the huge number of orcs join together, Gondor may not be able to hold on...
Milas Tirith, the capital of Gondor known as the White City, is now covered by dark clouds in the sky. Without any sunlight, the white walls appear gray and black.
The dark army of orcs has gathered outside the city wall, layer after layer, as if endless!
In the sky, the Ringwraiths are constantly wandering on flying dragons.
The roar of the orcs coming from outside the city makes the faces of the residents in the city full of fear.
Even though the soldiers of Gondor are ready to go, there are catapults and crossbow carts on the city wall.
Various instructions are constantly coming from the city wall where horses can run side by side. Rows of soldiers stand on the top of the city, and their ears are full of the collision of armor friction.
But at this time, everyone's heart feels ominous and desperate, just like the dark clouds above their heads.
The fortress in front has been lost, and the other side is approaching the capital.
The speed was too fast, too fast to be believed...
On the city wall, Denethor II, with a tired and pale face, closed his eyes as he watched the army approaching.
He used to use the Orb of Truth to inspect Gondor from time to time to guard against the Mordor army and other Hei Ah.
But because it was being eroded more and more recently, he began to use the Orb of Truth less frequently.
But he never expected that it was during his interval that Mordor decisively sent troops to capture the fortress ahead at lightning speed.
And the Ringwraiths killed all the messengers.
If the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village hadn't discovered something was wrong and warned them in advance.
I'm afraid there would be no preparation now!
"Prime Minister, the number is a bit too much."
The Third Raikage stood on the city wall with a solemn expression, also looking forward.
Although the ninjas are very powerful, the Hidden Cloud Village is quite strong among the five major ninja villages.
But ants can kill elephants!
If the tailed beasts were still there, it might still cause good damage.
But the problem is that the tailed beasts are all with Mr. Tao now. Although the two-tailed Jinchūriki was extracted from the tailed beasts but not dead, he is still recuperating.
At present, he is the only Kage in the ninja village.
"I'm afraid we have to prepare to abandon the city and save our manpower."
Seeing that they had left a side without intercepting, Denethor II could understand what Mordo was planning.
But he had no better way!
Although the signal smoke had been lit, it was still too late.
The reinforcements might not be able to catch up.
Moreover, he knew how much power Gondor had. Even if reinforcements arrived from all over the place, it would be difficult to fight against the enemy in front of him.
He never expected that Mordor had gathered such a great power and directly used the dark clouds in the sky to complete the surprise attack...
"I will do my best."
The Third Raikage did not say much, but his tone was firm.
The Hidden Cloud Village is not afraid of fighting!
However, at this moment, a sharp cry came from a distance. Looking sideways, he saw several twisted black spheres coming towards this side at high speed.
Three consecutive spheres directly hit the orc army.
Boom~Boom~Boom~
Three groups of terrifying air waves gushed out, instantly inflicting heavy damage on the orcs!
Tailed Beast Ball!
