In Minas Tiris' palace, the atmosphere was terrible.

The news brought by Gandalf made everyone forget Minas Tiris's great victory, and thus was in great fear and surprise. Sauron regained the Supreme Lord of the Ring, and everyone present knew what this meant.

"I thought we had won a big victory." After a long silence, Polomo spoke first, his voice as if he had been thirsty in the desert for several days: "We were deceived by Sauron. Although we destroyed tens of thousands of Sauron's army, the price was extremely heavy... The Demon King had already retrieved his power, and soon, he was about to launch a second round of attacks to wipe out all of us."

"Polomo, don't say anything discouraged!" Gandalf said immediately: "Even if Sauron has taken back the Supreme Lord Ring, it does not mean that we have lost. Do you want to surrender now? What's the difference between cutting off your head and sending it to Mordor obediently?"

"Gandalff is right, we should not give up hope now." Hiveton agreed: "Even if we are about to fail, we must complete what we can."

"Done what we can?" Polomo's tone was deeply tired: "I'm not saying despair, but what we have to do next is to attack Mordor head-on and fight to Soren's base camp, which is completely different from this battle to defend the city. The city can rely on the geographical advantage and use a few defenders to fight against most of the enemies, but what about the battle to siege? King Hierudon, after today's battle, Rohan can only send 10,000 well-trained soldiers to fight Mordor, and what about you? How many Rohan's cavalry did you bring this time?"

"...11,000." After a long silence, Hieudon spitted out a disappointing number.

"Ha! This is really..." Polomo let out a short and harsh smile: "This must be the largest joke in Gondor's history. We only led only 21,000 troops. This is just the number of troops in Gondor's heyday!"

"And we actually want to use these troops to attack the impregnable base of the Demon King, and we still have to pull Sauron off his throne and throw the ring into the Doom Volcano! This is like a child holding a wooden sword and a wooden gun and threatening the fully armed knight. Gandalf, if the Demon King knew, he would probably laugh it off and use his little finger to kill us bees who wanted to stab him."

"No, he will try to trap the bee and pull its stings out," Gandalf replied, "Of course there are some of us who can beat the thousand troops, and I don't think he can laugh!"

As he said that, Gandalf's eyes turned to the three reincarnation teams. Obviously, the "some people" he was talking about were referring to Zheng Zha and others.

"I don't deny the strength of Zheng Zha and the others, but Sauron's ring spirit still exists. And do you want Zheng Zha and the others to attack Mordor alone?" Polomo asked back: "In the last war, Elandil and Gilgarard united all the forces of humans and elves to launch a head-on attack on Mordor. Even with the troops at that time, they only won miserably. Now we only have these forces!"

"However, we also have the assistance of Ente Treeman..."

"Zheng Zha, what's wrong with you? The expression on your face seems a little strange." Yang Yun asked while the plot and the characters were arguing fiercely.

"No... Maybe I'm too attentive, I always feel a little uncomfortable. It seems that someone has sneaked into the city, and it's just behind me, but there is no movement in the mental power scan. Maybe I'm too attentive." Zheng Zha frowned.

"It shouldn't be an illusion, because I also feel this way." Yang Yun said: "Be careful, I don't know if the other party is an enemy or a friend, so we should be more vigilant."

"Well..." Zheng Zha shook his head, put this matter aside for the time being, and asked in the chain of the mind: "Chu Xuan, what do you think about the current situation? Since Sauron has taken back the Supreme Lord of the Ring, what about the North Bingzhou team? Where did they go again?"

"There is not much to do with us where they went. Maybe they have temporarily left everyone's sight and wanted to go to other places to seek some benefits; maybe they are hiding in the dark, waiting for something; maybe they have defected to Soren's side and secretly become enemies with us..." Chu Xuan replied: "There are too many possibilities and cannot be inferred, but because of the existence of this horror mission, they will appear in Mordor no matter what. We only need to follow the plot and characters to Mordor now."

"Then let's watch them quarrel with each other?" Zheng Zha looked at the plot and characters of the mouth: "I always feel that this is a waste of time in vain."

"It's indeed a waste of time, because among these people, there is no one who can really lead them to unite against Sauron." Chu Xuan said.

"Is Gandalf okay? He is both the captain of the Lord of the Rings Expedition and a respected white-robed wizard. Logically speaking, he should be able to unite everyone." Zhang Heng asked.

"No, Gandalf is a wizard, and is just a wizard, not a king." Chu Xuan asserted without hesitation: "He has no way to command the army to fight, and he has no way to lead the leaders of Rohan and Gondor to win on the battlefield... Only one person can do this."

"Yaragang." Yang Yun continued Chu Xuan's words: "Only Yaaragang can stop the argument, and concentrate all the forces together to launch a decisive battle with Sauron, just like the human emperor Yilandier back then... I think the wise men of the South Yanzhou team and the East America team also thought of this, so they were like us and did not participate in the argument."

“But Aragorn is not here yet…”

"Don't worry, Aragorn will probably arrive in Minas Tialis soon. As for the same thing, the captain of the Eastern America team is now with Aragorn. Do you think they will not even know the safety of their captain? No matter how stupid a person is, he knows to buy some communication tools when he is taking action."

As soon as he finished speaking, the palace gate was suddenly pushed open. Several figures entered one after another, and everyone present stopped arguing and turned their eyes to the door.

——And the first thing they saw was a flag. The flag was embroidered with a holy white tree, which was a symbol of Gondor, but it was surrounded by seven stars, and above it was a towering crown, the Irandir Imperial Emblem that no one has seen for hundreds of years.

The stars on the flag shine in the sunshine, because they are the gems embroidered by Arvin, the daughter of Eron. The crown shines in the morning light, because it is embroidered by mitril silver and gold.

"This, this is..."

Polomo rubbed his eyes, and Chiyoudon's eyes became moist, while Gandalf showed a peaceful smile.

Under that flag was the safe and sound Aragorn. Although his face was a little haggard due to the dust along the way, he also laughed when he saw the people inside.

"I encountered an enemy attack on the road, so I came late. I'm sorry I didn't catch up with the Battle of Minas Tiris."

"I, the descendant of Essidor, and King Yaragorn of Iliza, are back."
