Dragonborn from Lord of the Rings

Chapter 138 Gandalf's Arrival in the North and the First Expedition of the Kingdom of Elpera

Although with the support of the queen, Turka still hesitated for a long time.And after Bahrain got the promise from the silver king, he also endured his temper and stayed in Anuminas.

Finally, autumn has passed and winter has come.

When Bahrain and the others waited until the red and golden maple and ginkgo forests on the King's Ring had withered and the land became desolate, the dwarves or Turka waited for an unexpected visitor.

"My king." Gandalf, who came out of nowhere, hurried to the north, to Annuminas. "Even I have heard the news of the dwarves staying in the north. My lord, I have been hesitating all the time, which is not what a wise king should do. I was there at that time. Since you have given the dwarves a promise, what happened now? , why did you hesitate again?"

"It's not that I hesitate, but some kind of worry prevents me from going." At that time, Turka received the wizard in the king's study, and he said: "I also see the turmoil in the human world in the south, Gandalf. Our enemy has not only provoked a war between the human world in the south and the barbarians in the east, but some kind of shadow has been tempting to invade the north all these years. I am afraid that if I leave, his claws will penetrate deep into the north, causing some regrettable tragedy."

At that time, Gandalf put aside his hat, staff, and Elven sword Glamdrin, while he smoked his pipe worriedly, and the king's study was foggy for a while.

"Yes, our enemy has become stronger. This strength does not refer to his strength, but his insidious and vicious provoking turmoil in the human world. The power of human beings has been weakened, while the power of darkness is growing every day. Growth every moment."

The sorcerer stopped breathing, his stooped body suddenly became taller, his eyes were bright and shining, and his voice was majestic and majestic: "My king, I hope you can destroy the last half-orc stronghold in the north as soon as possible, and the entire orc stronghold will be wiped out as soon as possible. Soldiers prepare for war! I have a hunch that war is coming! It is very necessary to clear the poisonous pus behind us!"

Of course, these little tricks of the wizard will not affect Turka, but it has to be said that Gandalf's words are exactly what he is worried about.According to history, the Lord of the Rings event will soon erupt.

Although Turka does not think that fate will continue to develop according to the original trajectory, but now it seems that the general trend has not changed.

The South has gotten more dangerous over the years.

The barbarians and chariot people in the east who believed in the dark power since ancient times replaced the half-orcs and became a hidden danger to the Central Continent.Even, these humans are more dangerous than those half-orcs who can only destroy.At least half-orcs don't rule the country, but these humans do.

Yes, as these peoples who believed in the dark power since ancient times occupied the southern part of the Rovanian Great Wilderness and Ithilien, many Western humans and even some greedy dwarves took refuge in them.

These dwarves are the one in the east, and they have little to do with the Turin family, but they are more greedy.The stronger weapon forging technology and logistical supplies they brought, coupled with the wall-riding faction among Western humans, gradually made the enemies of these dark places more and more entrenched.

At the same time, this is also one of the reasons why Theoden and Aragorn are increasingly unable to fight against them in the later stage.

The enemy hidden in the dark took advantage of this sinister mode of civil war between humans to consume a large amount of the potential of human forces, and successfully blocked the possibility of elves participating in the war.

In other words, if there is no reasonable and powerful reason, the elves will never participate in these wars between humans.

After all, these are disputes between human beings.In the eyes of the elves, longevity is a reward given to mortals. Humans may not understand it, but the elves who carry the cage of eternal life are very envious.Therefore, unless necessary, they will not take the initiative to interfere with the internal changes of human beings.

"As for what you are worried about, I will guard it for you." Gandalf said to him meaningfully.

Turka knew, and the wizard began to suspect that Bilbo had indeed gained something in that adventure.Something extremely dangerous.After all, he has seen the changes in the Hobbit all these years.

Turka was silent for a long time, and finally, he nodded slowly.

Thus, the year 3001 of the Third Age, winter.

The long-lost trumpet sounded in Annuminas.

Team after team of tall warriors in silver armor and red cloaks set out from Annuminas.They are the newborn humans in the north, the descendants of those rescued humans a long time ago and some naturalized mountain people.

This team is so huge that it almost exceeds 20 teams of thousands.

Many of them are even just on the battlefield for the first time.But as the first army to represent the kingdom of Elpera, everyone in this team has high morale and confidence.At that time, the faces and eyes of many young people were full of bravery and fearlessness.

They believed that whoever their enemies were, they would be crushed under the leadership of the great and revered Turka Arakano!

And walking in front of them was a force of about 500 elf rangers and 2000 dwarves headed by Balin.And Turka Arakano, who rode Nahar the Holy Spirit, before all of them.

The people of Annuminas even saw for the first time the military presence of the North.Many people stood on both sides of the street and near the gate, looking excitedly and enviously at this well-equipped and high-morale team holding the king's banner and heading south firmly.

"This is our own army, it's really reassuring to see!"

"The king is on his way! Victory!"

There were loud cheers one after another, and people offered their most sincere blessings to the soldiers who went out.White flowers are constantly sprinkled on the wide and flat stone path.

And on the towering and majestic city wall of Annuminas, the queen hugged the two young princes and watched the king leave.

As if aware of it, the silver king, who was almost out of sight of the people of Anuminas, suddenly turned his head, took a fixed look at the three people on the city wall, and then patted the Holy Spirit lightly on the neck cruelly. , headed south quickly.

Along the ancient road built by the ancient Númenoreans, the army first walked southward for more than ten leagues, then crossed the Balanduin River, and quickly headed towards the Wind and Cloud Hills.

12 month 11 day.

The army arrived at Fengyunding.

Turka ordered the army to rest here for a day, and then the next day, the army continued south.

12 month 13 day.

The army crossed the Cangquan River and came to the Eregian ruins established by Celebrimbor, the fifth son of Fëanor and the son of Curufin in the Second Age.

At this time, it was only seven days since the army left Anuminas.Obviously, the quality of the newly built army in the north is still good.At least, after this week's rapid march, no one was left behind.

12 month 15 day.

The coalition forces of humans and dwarves finally arrived at the legendary holy land of dwarves.
