“Rescue Gondor. If we can do it in time, we can join forces with Gondor to attack Mordor and provide enough cover for Frodo. Moreover, Mordor is now divided, we only need to eliminate some of them.” King Rohan finally decided.

Aragorn breathed a sigh of relief. He was glad that the king still had a good sense of the big picture, but that was not enough. He looked back at the Tower. He wanted to go back and beg Wesley to join him, but in the end he did not. After all, he was the one who had asked Frodo to leave with a gardener, and he had brought people to stop Wesley. What reason could he use to find him now?

Gandalf clapped Aragorn on the shoulder. “I think he will have his own action. Let’s go straight to Gondor and see what other forces we can gather on the way.”

“Yes!” Aragorn finally nodded.

Wesley had been reading books on it. Most of the reading was first memorized and then organized by apples. Among them was alchemy, which was very similar to science but somewhat different from science. Wesley had no time for specific research and could only record it, so he read very quickly.

In two days, he finished reading all the books and lost interest in the Wizard Tower. He did not take a fancy to the things here. After all, a white-robed wizard was not powerful to him.

“What should we do next?” Wesley sat in Saruman’s seat and thought about it.

“We can wipe out Mordor. What do you think?” Apple suggested.

“Is there a lot of magic there? That’s not Isengard. They have a lot of troops, and it seems that it’s time for Mordor to attack Gondor.”

“Yes, it should be at this time, but there shouldn’t be a problem there, and Mordor is the main point. As long as we attack Mordor, Frodo can complete his mission, so we can finish the mission and go back.”

“What do you think about us commanding the army?” Wesley suddenly said whimsically.

“Command the army? Will they give you command?”

“Maybe not, but isn’t it very interesting to command a medieval army? Moreover, these guys really don’t have any tactics to speak of. It’s completely a head-on attack. I can only express my disdain for this. There’s a world of difference from the war in ancient China.”

“If you’re interested, why didn’t you leave with them two days ago?”

“Humph, wouldn’t that make me easy to talk to? I have no status at all. Why would they give me command?”

“Now that you have thought about it, we need to set off immediately.” Wesley really wanted to command the medieval war. After all, he was a general and was very interested in the ancient medieval battlefield. Now that he has the opportunity, he will not give up. It is a little too tiring to attack Mordor alone. There is a lot more Orc army there than Isengard, and the existence of the Ring Spirit.

After leaving the Wizard Tower, Wesley mounted his horse and started south. Gondor’s front line, White City, was also known as Minas Tirith. This was the capital of Gondor and was built on the easternmost part of the White Mountains. It was magnificent, but in Wesley’s opinion, it was a failure. It was too different from the cities of ancient China.

The aisles on the city wall were narrow and not enough for soldiers to take evasive action. Being hit by a catapult was a gap and was very fragile. Wesley, who had been galloping all the way, was naturally faster than Rohan’s army. In less than a day, he caught up with Rohan’s cavalry. Éomer personally led him to the Rohan king’s tent.

“You are Wesley?” King Rohan asked.

“That’s right. My name is Wesley Gibson. I didn’t want to come again, but your kingdom of Rohan is really not easy. I decided to help you, but I need command.” Wesley went straight to the point.

“Command?” Éomer was surprised at first, then he said to Wesley, “Sir, war is not a game.”

“Haha, in my opinion, your tactics and combat methods are too crude. It’s completely like a fight between two bulls. It’s no different from a game of wrestling.” Wesley curled his lips. He is a general who has commanded millions of troops. You don’t have enough people to meet the number of a division. How can you talk about war with me?

Wesley would never have come if he hadn’t wanted to experience a medieval war scene. Besides, he wouldn’t help if the other party didn’t give him command. He wasn’t a vigilante.

“I wonder what you think of our war?” King Rohan did not refuse easily. He knew the strength of the other party. Even if he could not be on good terms with him, he could not offend him.

“First of all, your cavalry is swarming in. In my opinion, this is a waste. It is a waste of troops. I will rearrange them.”

The Rohan king hesitated. Was there a problem with the cavalry? He didn’t know. After all, it had always been fought this way. War was more about courage and strength. Wesley knew very well what he thought. These guys could actually fight infantry with cavalry and both sides would suffer. Wesley was speechless. Even if the other side was an orc and had a special megamammoth unit, such a loss was still very embarrassing.

All of them rushed over, but the impact of the cavalry was not fully exerted. The cavalry needed wave after wave of impact to maximize the impact. Group charge was the most important, especially when the other party had archers!

At that moment, the guards outside rushed in. “Your Majesty, it’s the elves. Did the elves send an army to help us?”

“Oh?” This time, King Rohan really did not expect that the ancient covenant had been torn apart, but the elves still sent their army. He rushed out in a hurry. Wesley was not surprised by this. In the six movies of Lord of the Rings and Hobbit, the army of the elves always likes to appear in a neat lineup and then be slaughtered by the enemy. Wesley was powerless to complain about this. Why was such a good soldier always ravaged?

A short time later, King Rohan came in with the Elven general, Haldir. “I didn’t expect to see you here, sir,” Haldir said with a bow.

“Oh, why are you being so polite?” Wesley said in surprise. They had met when he was in Loring.

“King Elrond of Rivendell has spoken of you. We are very grateful for your help.”

“I see.” Wesley stopped talking. He was still waiting for King Rohan’s decision. And King Rohan would not take the question himself and said it directly, but unexpectedly, Elf General Haldir agreed directly.

“Sir Wesley has the relics of the first Elven King and has also helped us obtain the important Elven Book. We are grateful for this and we do not doubt his ability.”
