Chapter 118 If you want to fight, then fight
"You, what do you want to do? Are you planning to rebel?"
Facing the angry crowd, surrounded by his trusted guards, the treacherous minister, Grima Qiaoyan, who was already crying with fear, shouted loudly with a timid look. His whole body was shaking violently. If it weren't for the dozens of trusted guards around him, each of whom was a high-level elite knight with strong swordsmanship and powerful strength, Lord Grima would have been torn into pieces by these fanatics.
"Quick! Go and notify my army, let them rush in to rescue me, and, kill all these untouchables!"
In such a critical situation, the person who could still shout such words, simply using the word "idiot" is not enough to describe the stupidity of Lady Grima Whisperer.
However, in a moment of desperation, or in a state of desperation, Grimma actually came up with an idea to cut off the source of the problem.
"You guys, go and capture this pagan first. There are only two of them. Once you capture them, take them as hostages. I wonder what else these untouchables can do!"
There is no doubt that this is indeed a good idea, but the only question is... with Grima's current strength, can they do it?
Amidst the peaceful smile on Lin Yu's face that was full of the flavor of a charlatan, Xi Youde beside him threw off the cloak he had been wearing on his head since entering the city, drew his sword, and stood ready for battle. His true appearance immediately caused quite a stir among this group of Grima's trusted guards, after all, he was the prince of the kingdom.
Behind Lin Yu, the large carriage that served as a temporary "palace" split in two, and then twisted and deformed. When the vines that served as a cover shrank and disappeared completely, two five-meter-tall, beautiful green-skinned "female giants" were revealed.
Lin Yu, the core figure, had a smile on his face that didn't change at all.
Lin Yu raised his fist and suddenly roared at Grima, whose face changed drastically, "The Sea God said to his enemies...if you want to fight, then fight~~~!"
The guards around Qiaoyan are indeed the elites among the elites of Rohan. Although they lack the will to fight, they are still terrifyingly strong. As for the two "tree demon girls", they are too big and the venue is too crowded. They are afraid of accidentally hurting the believers of the Sea Temple and cannot move freely. As for their life magic, they cannot be used because of the lack of plants here. To put it bluntly, except for being big enough and beautiful enough to be used as decoration, their actual use is quite limited.
At this time, Lin Yu, who pretended to be a "god stick", did not use other powers, but used his pair of iron arms and steel fists transformed by gourmet cells, plus his body hardened by the power of mind. Under the siege of five powerful Rohan swordsmen, although Lin Yu was not at a disadvantage, he did not have a clear advantage. Just looking at his leisurely, confident and calm attitude, it seems that he is waiting for something else...
Sure enough, when Qiao Yan's direct guards finally couldn't hold out in front of the angry people and soldiers and were knocked to the ground one after another, Lord Grima, who had lost his protection, finally had to use his own crown to deal with those "angry hoes".
"No~~~! Anyone can come and save me!" Qiaoyan fell to his knees, holding his head with both hands, crying out at the top of his lungs. He looked like a drowned dog in extreme embarrassment.
"Stop it all!"
Just when the treacherous prime minister was about to commit his evil deeds, another majestic shout rang out in the central square of Edoras City. In such a noisy and excited environment, no one would notice the shouting of one person, or even if someone was beating drums and gongs to hold a concert.
But this sudden voice of "Stop it!" actually penetrated deep into the minds of everyone here, forcing them to pay attention and even obey.
Looking at the man who saved Qiao Yan, Lin Yu had a strange expression on his face, and murmured in a low voice: "Sure enough, if the spokesperson died, he would not be able to sit still."
"My lord, you've come at the perfect time!" The rescued Grima Qiaoyan had tears and snot streaming down her face. She crawled to the man, hugged his legs and started crying. She felt so aggrieved like a young wife who was bullied by her parents-in-law. This scene was both funny and a bit disgusting.
And there was only one person in the whole of Rohan who could save Wormtongue's life under such circumstances - the old King Theoden.
This old man, who looked deathly pale, haggard, with black eye sockets and lips, like a resurrected zombie, was supported by a handsome blond man and stood on the high platform in the central square of Edoras. Although his eyes were blurry and his gaze was unfocused, he still said in a "voice" that could be heard directly in everyone's mind: "Everyone stop it! I am Theoden, the king of this country, and the person I trust is this Grima Wormtongue. His orders are my orders, and his decisions are also my decisions. If you oppose him, you are opposing me, Theoden, the only heir to the royal bloodline of Rohan!"
It has to be said that in the Middle-earth of The Lord of the Rings, where "chivalry" is worshipped and loyalty to the king is extremely serious, Theoden, the old king who seems to be dying soon, is still full of majesty. After his appearance, the excited civilians and soldiers all quickly calmed down. Although everyone knows that the old king has been bewitched and deceived by Grima Wormtongue, and is now insane, no longer as wise and powerful as he used to be.
But even so, when the old king speaks publicly, no one will disobey him. This is the deep-rooted feudal concept of Middle-earth, which cannot be easily changed even by the power of religion and faith.
Although everyone looked at Grima Wormtongue, who was gloating behind the old King Theoden, and wanted to rush forward and strangle him to death, in the end no one really rushed forward.
However, this incident cannot be over yet, because the original cause of the civil unrest has not been resolved. The decision on the treatment of the new religion "Sea God Temple" and "Sea God Priest" Lin Yu will still be a barrel of gunpowder placed next to the torch, which may detonate the country at any time.
Grima Wormtongue supported the old King Théoden. The King of Rohan, whose soul had been occupied by the white-robed wizard Saruman, looked directly at Lin Yu, but his eyes were cloudy and unfocused, and his lips were trembling, as if he was suffering from severe dementia.
