Dragonborn from Lord of the Rings

Chapter 148 Smaug Reappears (Two in One)

After resting for a quarter of an hour, Bilbo and Gandalf continued on their way.The stars in the northern sky have been guiding them in the direction they are going, and they saw beams of bright starlight projected from between the tree crowns, illuminating the quiet and dark forest so darkly.This is in stark contrast to the darker and darker skies in the south.

Bilbo looked back before he entered the Bale Wood, but he saw a huge, ominous shadow covering the sky of the Shire, as if something bad was coming.

A voice kept ringing in his mind, making him stop.In a trance, he seemed to feel an eerie atmosphere in all directions, and the swaying tree crowns, branches and leaves were like terrifying monsters, rushing towards him with teeth and claws.There was not a single animal or bird in the bushes.The heavy pressure made him almost out of breath.

Frightened, Bilbo unconsciously reached for the magic ring in his pocket.

At that time Gandalf suddenly turned his head and shouted: "Demon, don't try to show your power! Your power has no place here!" Speaking of the gem on the top of the wizard's walking stick, it shone brightly, and his stooped body became extremely Tall, with eyes as bright as stars.

Bilbo was taken aback. He wanted to put on the Supreme Lord of the Rings reflexively, and his eyes and expression became ferocious.But Gandalf stepped forward, grabbed Bilbo's arm, and said solemnly, "Don't be tempted by him, Bilbo. Believe in yourself, and you can defeat him."

At the same time, a warm current came from the wizard's hand, which was the power of Naya, the ring of fire.This power is not very strong, but it is tenacious and continuous.

"Gandalf?" Bilbo only felt his eyes clear, and his reason returned to his body.He loosened his grip on the One Ring.The evil power in Bilbo's body seemed to be provoked, and immediately turned against the wizard.

Gandalf hurriedly let go of his hand, and his tall and majestic body became stooped again.The light in his eyes also went out, and he showed deep fatigue and fear: "We must pass through this forest as soon as possible, the enemy already knows we are here, and he is trying to stop us from moving forward."

Bilbo was terrified.He finally knew what kind of burden fate had placed on him. He staggered behind the wizard, with all kinds of slippery moss and grass under his feet, and he would trip over if he was not careful.

At last, just before dawn, they passed through the sheaf grove, and a wide and flat country loomed before them.

In the east, a white light began to struggle to break free from the shackles of the horizon, trying to illuminate the world.But still the Star of Eärendir and the Stars of Valachilka hung high in the sky.This is the darkest time between heaven and earth.

"Look, there is the Dusk Hills over there." Gandalf turned his head, and the first gleam of hope for today smiled on his old face: "Bilbo, don't stop, cross this country, and we will be safe." .”

It's just that the hobbit's eyes are not as sharp as the wizard's. No matter how hard Bilbo opened his eyes, he couldn't see the mountain that the wizard was pointing at.

However, the further north he went, Bilbo could obviously feel his body becoming more relaxed, and the whispers and temptations that sounded in his mind from time to time were gradually fading away.It seems that there is something in the north that makes the ring and the owner behind it deeply afraid.

In fact, the moment Bilbo's hand gripped the One Ring, the black knights behind them immediately sensed something.

They drove the big black horses across the river and came straight to the sheaf forest.

Two figures of them walked around the forest, from the east and the west, respectively, to block the direction in which the wizard and the hobbit might escape.Two figures chased them through the forest, along the path that Gandalf and Bilbo had walked.

At this moment, both sides are racing against time, and the loser is very likely to pay the price with their lives.

As if they heard the dull sound of horseshoes behind them, Bilbo and Gandalf did not dare to stay, but stopped for a short time, drank a sip of water, and started to walk quickly in the night again.

They ran so fast that they were almost galloping.Bilbo even wondered if he would run and fall over.The wind was blowing in their ears all the time, the stars in the sky erupted with the last brilliance between light and dark, and the earth seemed to be coated with a layer of bright silver.

"Look, Bilbo, holy and merciful Elberis is watching us! Don't stop, hope lies ahead." Gandalf shouted, encouraging his old friend.

This did carry Bilbo for a long distance again.Until his potential is completely exhausted.

"Gandalf, I really can't run anymore." Seeing that the white light in the east showed signs of breaking free from the earth, our hobbit finally couldn't run anymore. He sat slumped on a cold rock, Refuse to get up again. "Perhaps this is the end of my fate, and Elberis cannot save an old hobbit. Go, and take my relic, before it falls into the wrong hands!"

"Don't be stupid! Whether your fate ends here, I have more say than you!" Gandalf shouted, but then his eyes showed deep worry and unbearable, he knew that this hobbit Man has reached the limit of what he can do, the wizard said in a slow tone: "Don't give up hope, Bilbo, you have persisted for a long time, why don't you try harder? Let us go forward, I I have a hunch that our reinforcements are ahead!"

But the hobbit really couldn't move even one toe anymore, his energy was almost consumed in this long race, his not thick chest was rising and falling like a blower, his pupils were slack and lifeless.

So Gandalf could only put his cane behind his waist, then picked up the poor hobbit, and ran forward quickly.

In fact, he could already hear the disturbing sound of horseshoes in the wind, and in the southern sky, the ominous shadow had spread rapidly, almost chasing after them.

At this time, the thick shadows of the distant dusk hills are already clearly visible. In the east, the light of Arrien finally pierces the darkness, and the earth turns from silvery white to dull yellow.The waves of the Ballanduin tinkled.

"The great Lord of Arda's breath, bless your believers!" the gray-robed wizard shouted. "Let his legs be strong forever."

At that time, Manwë did cast his holy eyes on the wizard, and the strong north wind softened, and the path in the wilderness became smoother, so that he would not stumble while running.Moreover, bursts of thunderous explosions faintly came from the north, and the smell of sulfur in the wind was vaguely absent.

Then Gandalf's face brightened as he ran, for he knew that his prayer had been heard by Manwë, and that reinforcements were on their way.This made him feel courage and hope.

At this moment, there was a loud sound of horseshoes behind them.

"They're coming up." Bilbo moaned desperately, as if he saw four riders in cloaks and boots who were terribly shadowy, jumping out from the end of the southern road and chasing after them.

These terrifying evil spirits gathered together, making ear-piercing hoarse sounds, and the invisible terror filled the earth.Bilbo yelled, and his headache was splitting.

Gandalf's face sank, knowing that he couldn't run any longer.He stopped, put Bilbo on a stone by the roadside, and drew out his cane and Glamdrin, confronting the evil knights who were chasing majesticly.

"Don't even try to take even a piece of the hobbit's sleeve from my hand! Evil spirits!" The wizard's staff was raised high, and the jewels on it shone brightly, and his figure became as tall as a god in the sky, with a majestic voice. mighty.

Those terrifying evil spirits were indeed burned by the light of the wizard's staff, and they all stopped their horses that were running wildly, screaming in pain.

The voice was cold and sharp, as if the evil for thousands of years was here, Bilbo covered his ears in pain, and let out a terrible scream.

"Leave!" The ring of fire in the wizard's hand emitted the same bright light, superimposed with the light of the cane, Gandalf became stronger than ever before.But still not as good as in Valinor. "Evil minions, this land is protected by many powerful beings of Valmar in the west! You and the masters behind you are not welcome here! Go back to the abyss prepared for you ! Go back! Fall into the void that awaits you and your master. Go!"

In this sun-bright light, Bilbo's headache was greatly relieved.He gasped heavily, looking in horror at the terrifying knights surrounding him.

They were so black that they looked like black holes poking out of the thick shadows behind them.Bilbo thought he heard a faint hiss like the breath of a viper, and felt a sharp, piercing cold.Then, the figures began to move forward slowly.

At first, the power of the wizard really made those terrible evil spirits hesitate for a while.

Sauron has always been worried that the Valars will directly intervene in the affairs of Central Continent. He has failed twice in the hands of the Western Powers, and was severely knocked to the ground each time.

So when he sensed the divine eyes of the mighty beings refocusing on this ancient land, he really hid himself in fear.But soon he discovered that those powerful beings in the western land did not come directly, and he consumed a lot of power on the light side.

So, gradually, the evil and viciousness in his heart surged up again.Coupled with his hatred of beautiful things and his jealousy of dragonborn, he yearned for power every day.Because only by regaining his once powerful power, Sauron will have the hope and courage to destroy all the good people in Central Continent in the next attack.

So, when he sensed that the ring containing part of his power was on that weak, humble little man not far away, he immediately forced the Nazgul to come forward.

"Wizard, your strength is mediocre compared to my master!" The leading black rider raised his hood.behold!He wears a king's crown, but the head under the crown is not visible.Between the crown and the broad black shoulders of the cloak, red flames can be seen dancing behind.

He is none other than the Witch-King of Angmar, one of the Witcher's greatest enemies.The Witch King drew out the Devil's Cave Sword, screaming hoarsely.A puff of green flame immediately filled the blade.

The other three Nazgul immediately drew their black longswords.As they began to cast spells, a terrible tornado hung upside down in the gray sky.

"Last time, you had many people, now it's our turn." The Witch King let out a deadly laugh from an invisible mouth.A huge specter came down from the sky.Although the wizard tried his best to hold on, the dark magic of the evil spirits still suppressed the light emitted by the wizard like boiling hot water, expanding and contracting continuously until it formed a ball of light about two meters away.

"You are not that holy white king, a wizard." The Witch King hissed, pointing at the puffy green long sword in his hand, "Your power is limited in this world, lead to death now!"

Gandalf's face changed, the staff in his hand exploded, and he was pushed to the ground, and the ball of light disappeared completely.

When the other three Nazgul saw it, they immediately rode their horses to kill them.

At this moment, there was a burst of cry from the sky in the north, and then the wind blew up!This wind is accompanied by the smell of sulfur that ordinary people can't stand.The trees on the roadside and in the countryside swayed wildly in this gust of wind, almost breaking.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud roar that had once made Bilbo so unforgettable and so frightening.

"dragon!"

Bilbo's eyes widened, and he could hardly believe how excited he was to see Smaug again: "Gandalf, it's Smaug! Lord Turka has come to save us!"

The Witch-king of Angmar and the other three Nazgul (Nazgul) were indeed caught off guard by the unexpected 'visitor'.In the dark mountain range to the north, a spark rushed straight towards them. Its speed was so fast that it became bigger and brighter in just a short while.

"Kill them! No one will be left alive!" Sauron behind Nazgul was almost mad, and his terrifying voice sounded in the hearts of the Witch King of Angmar, "Give me the ring back, it will be here On that halfling!"

But Gandalf and Bilbo seem to have gained new courage and strength, and the hope of survival has become stronger than ever.They got up from the ground, leaned their backs against the rock excitedly, and clenched the long and short elven swords in their hands.

"The calculations of you and your master behind you are destined to fail! Evil spirits! The Arakano family is destined to be your nemesis!" The wizard shouted, and Naya, the ring of fire in his hand, rallied and released the light of hope, burning these people. The spirit of evil minions.

But in secret, Gandalf said to Bilbo, "Run north as soon as you can."

But Bilbo shook his head. "Two legs can't run four, Gandalf. It's not so bad to die with at least one friend here."

The wizard was dumbfounded.

But I didn't have a chance to say more to them.Although the Ring of Fire, one of the Three Rings of the Elves, does make the Nazgul extremely afraid, it is the power of hope, and it is born with the Ring Spirit, which represents death and despair.But their master's orders were not something they could disobey, so, including the Witch King of Angmar at the head, four terrifying enemies in cloaks attacked at the same time.

The Witch King pointed his long sword with green fire, and the tornado in the sky blew towards the Witcher and to the north.

"I am the servant of the great Súlimo (Manwe), and all the winds of Arda obey my command!" The wizard shouted, and issued a long-planned spell, and the hurricane disappeared immediately.Then he swung his sword to block the No.2 enemy's sharp sword from above.

On the other side, facing the terrifying knights rushing towards him, Bilbo didn't hesitate any longer, put on the magic ring directly, and disappeared between the hoofs of the horses.

This did make the Nazgul briefly absent-minded for a while.

Because they didn't expect the master's power to be used by the enemy, but soon they discovered the despicable little snitch.

"It doesn't belong to you!" said a familiar pale figure with a cold face. He was riding a big black horse, trying to trample to death the thief who dared to steal his master's power.

Through the black and white two-color vision under the invisibility, we can see that this pale figure is the former human hero, usurper, and patricide, Exelion.

"Die! Thief!" Exelion, who had been completely reduced to Sauron's minion, stabbed the hateful halfling scurrying around under the horse's belly with his sword.

"Well!"

Bilbo couldn't dodge in time, and was stabbed in the chest by a sword!
"No!" shouted the wizard.At that time, a strong wind was blowing in our faces!Everyone couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.I saw the giant dragon Smaug whizzing past from the low sky, and a mouthful of dragon flames sprayed down.
