Dragonborn from Lord of the Rings

Chapter 116 The Broken Covenant

The Hill of Guard, also known as Amon Tirith, is a hill at the easternmost end of the White Mountains. The city of Minas Tirith, the capital of Gondor, is built on this hill.

The fountain square where the withered white tree is located is just in front of the white tower on the highest floor of the seven-story stone city.

October of the year 2941 of the Third Age.

The dispute that took place on the Mount of the Guards was very similar to the one that Feanor had with his half-brother Fingolfin on Mount Tuna; Bewitched, rebel against the gods.

Facing Turka and Gandalf's questioning, Exelian said angrily and uneasy: "Perhaps the silver king is unparalleled in power, and the wizard is powerful! But isn't this the royal city of Gondor? Human beings may not be as good as in the legend. My heroes and wise men are great, but if they want to overwhelm the people of White City with great force, then I know that the legendary silver king and great wizard will regard us as enemies!"

This could almost be regarded as a malicious word that provoked the relationship between the two parties, and the people of Gondor and the nobles present at the same time were strongly disturbed.And the silver-white king and the gray-robed wizard also fell silent.

Both parties were taken aback by Exelion's strength.

And following Exelion's speech, the shadow of Mount Mindoruin became longer, and a terrible darkness enveloped many people present.

Only the loyal Númenóreans of Umbar secretly rejoiced.Hiding in the crowd, they watched Exelian push Gondor to a tragic fate with malice and jealousy.

"Son of Turgon II, Exelion." Gandalf said, "Your words will push this city of kings to an unbearable fate, because it is not what you say Is the evil of murdering your father blamed on the wizard? And I just want a public confrontation. Is it true that the hardships and troubles that the wizard has solved for the successive kings of Gondor and the people here are not enough to obtain such a fair and reasonable request?"

Turka also said: "I have no intention of fighting against humans, but if Gondor feels that it is no longer necessary to maintain the alliance with the North, I can only express my deep regret."

The speeches of the wizard and the silver king greatly shocked the human beings present, and many people began to fear, afraid of losing or even offending two such powerful allies at the same time.

But at the same time, some people feel that the arrogance of the wizard and the silver king has hurt the feelings of the people of the White City, because as Exelion said, this place should be their royal city, and the wizard and the silver king should maintain the minimum respect.

Especially Exelion, the former human hero whose reason was eroded by desire for power and some kind of dark force became angry and ashamed, because he felt that the wizard and the silver king were challenging his authority.

And today was supposed to be a momentous moment for him to ascend the throne as king!

At that time, Exelian's body and mind were completely controlled by Sauron who was hiding in a dark corner. His eyes were filled with jealousy and anger, and his expression became terrifying.

The atmosphere became extremely tense, and everyone was watching the three of them.

At this moment, a voice came in, it was Adrasil, the son of Prince Do Amroth.

"I can prove that Mythrandil could not have been the murderer who killed the regent that night! Because he was with me almost all that night." The Swan Knight couldn't bear to treat his allies for many years like this, and the power of light and hope prevailed Fear and anxiety in his heart, he stood up and spoke out.

This was something that Exelion and Sauron behind him did not expect. Exelian looked at his old friend with anger, confusion, resentment, and murderous intent, holding the hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist. Veins burst out.

The minions of Sauron and Exelian were also disturbed by the sudden shock. Angametti II hid in the crowd insidiously, whispering to some people.

Seeing his son jumping out suddenly, the old prince was extremely anxious, but he didn't show it, but deliberately said: "I have something to say, please listen to me, my lords! I don't think it should be so hasty to decide who is the murderer. Because both the reputation of Lord Mithrandil and the new testimony show that there is a conspiracy in this matter! Maybe we can postpone this matter and hold the new king's enthronement ceremony first, my lord, what do you think?" he said to Exelion.

This almost hit Exelian's weakness.

His desire for the authority of Gondor has fallen to the point where he can't extricate himself. Although there is a voice in his heart that is coaxing him and bewitching him, telling him not to let the wizard and his companions go so easily, but his remaining rationality is still there. Soberly know: If the silver king is on the wizard's side, he will be powerless to stop it!
Moreover, Exelian was deeply aware of the Silver King's abilities, so he didn't dare to confront him.He was afraid that the heinous deeds he had committed would be dug up.

So, Exelian let go of the sword hilt at his waist, turned and walked into the royal court with a livid face.

Exelian's attitude made many people breathe a sigh of relief.They didn't want to fight against the silver king and the wizard, but they didn't want to lose their dignity. Now that the king decided to put this matter aside for the time being, most of the nobles immediately followed Exelian, leaving only a few.

But soon, even these few people left.

Only Prince Do Amroth and his son were left at the scene.

"I am very grateful for your righteous words, but it is not suitable for you to stay here for long." Gandalf took a deep look at the old prince and said, "I am disturbed by the changes in Exelion. This is beyond the scope of stubbornness. Behind the scenes The black hand has never shown up yet! Come on, Adrasil, ride your fast horses and leave the royal city! I am afraid that the new king and his minions will not let the Do Amroth family go, it is not wise to stay here .”

Adrasil was in a hurry.He stood up and spoke up this time, naturally hoping that the wizard and the silver king could dissuade Exelian, but he didn't want the development of the situation to become so difficult. "grown ups!"

But the old prince pulled his son without saying a word, turned around and left.

Turka frowned slightly, and commented: "A qualified politician."

"I thought I could lead out the mastermind behind the scenes." The wizard stood in front of the royal court, the last city of hope for mankind, looked at the withered white tree, and the tense, resentful, or restless Gondor people around him, and sighed He took a deep breath and said, "But now it seems that Gondor is doomed!"

Turka thought for a while, realized that he came at the wrong time, and sighed: "Fate is like a shuttle, who can avoid it?"

The two stood quietly in front of the royal court in the city of the last hope of mankind, silent.

Smaug yawned aside, looking bored.

Third Age 2941, December 9th.
