Dragonborn from Lord of the Rings

Chapter 186 Defense of the Valley

In hindsight, although the wedge of the Second War of Light that broke out in 3019 of the third era was the Lord of the Rings, the final storm was not just a war.That was almost a decisive battle involving all the forces in Central Continent.

On April 24th, the Council of Elrond was held in Rivendell.

On May [-]nd, the blue-robed wizard Alatar appeared in Utumno and led the army of hell to the south.

On May [-], the Battle of the Eisin Crossing broke out.The next day, the battle between Essinger and the Iron Hills broke out.Turka suffered the first defeat in his life, and Dyne died in battle.

On May [-]th, Saruman, the white-robed wizard, failed to be captured under the siege of Turka, Eonwe and Melian.

On May 24th, the Battle of Lonely Mountain broke out, Thorin died in battle, and Thranduil and Radagast fell into a coma.

That same day the Pirates of Umbar came ashore from the harbor of Longdale, and sailed up the Graywater, and surrounded Rivendell.

At the same time, the Dongyi people and the chariot people surrounded the army of Elpera and the tree people from the east and west.

Also on this day, the son of Turka Arakano and the future second emperor Aratu Arakano led the high elves, northern treants, middle-earth elves, Khazad-dum dwarves, hobbits, and humans to gather together Finally bridge, and defeat the Umbar pirates of Sauron at the mouth of the Bruinen River.

At that time, when Sauron sent his fallen black Númenoreans up the Graywater River to attack Rivendell.Only then did Aratu and Noratu know why their father left the sacred horn in Anuminas, and told them to blow it when the situation became critical.

"Father has foreseen all of this." Noratu was excited and serious, and he said to his brother: "We must not destroy the reputation of our father."

Then he picked up the conch horn inlaid with gold, stood on the white steps of the King's Ring, and blew it vigorously.

Uh huh.

After a lapse of 78 years, the majestic and majestic horn sounded once again throughout Central Continent.

Almost all elves, dwarves, humans, hobbits, wizards, even Sauron and all the evil armies under his command who heard the horn knew that the decisive battle was coming.

To the north of Annuminas, the once desolate Eden Wasteland is now a lush forest.

One of the three oldest Ents who led some Ents to move north many years ago, the bark king Vladliff woke up from his deep sleep. He muttered a few words that no one could understand, and then stretched his tall and slender branches and leaves and The roots let out a long roar like a horn.

"The day of the promise has arrived, the northern tree people, wake up, let us go to the old covenant together!"

bang.

bang.

The forest echoed.Countless newborn and ancient treants woke up from their slumber. They pulled out their thick and strong roots from the ground, stretched their lush branches and leaves, and looked to the south.

West, Linton.

When Cirdan of Myslond (Grey Harbor) heard this familiar voice, there was even a hint of nostalgia on his face, neither old nor young.He stood on the high platform in front of the government affairs hall, and the wind blew his beard trembling slightly.

In the square under the high platform, all the Falas, Sindar, and Noldor elves who had been stranded in Middle-earth since the first era looked at him in full armor.

So Cirdan said loudly: "The voice of the advancing era is calling, brothers and sisters, when this battle is over, it will be the day we return to the West."

These elves immediately erected their longbows and spears, making loud noises.

Khazad-dum, the shrine to all dwarves.

A somewhat similar to Bahrain, but younger, a very young stout dwarf in steel armor and an iron helmet standing under the magnificent sculpture of Turin III, holding a steel ax and war hammer - at that time, Bahrain was dead , his son Fintin II succeeded him.

"The day of the dwarves' covenant has come, my people. The great Lor Odgon needs our help, the King of the Mountain needs our help!" cried the young Balin heir. "For the king! Go forward! Durin ai- mênu!"

Oyin, Ori and other dwarves who followed Bahrain and re-established Kazadum immediately let out a roar that shook the sky.

They opened the West Gate and filed out of Khazad-dum to the promised battle.

At that time, the great eagle Whitehill had already told the leaders of all the good camps in Middle-earth about the reappearance of the army of hell.

Thus, Alatu Arakano, the first heir to the Kingdom of Elpera and the future second emperor, swears in Anuminas and guides the direction of his sword.

He said to all the allies who came as promised: "Many of us have encountered unimaginably cruel wars, and some of us are just newcomers to the battlefield, but we have all promised loyalty! Now fate has come to a critical moment, let Let's go to the appointment together to completely end this dark era!"

At that time, Noratu, the second son of Turka, Orofenwe, the son of Olwe, the two deputy ministers of the kingdom, Halbalad and Galdo, Gemil of Gray Harbor, Vladliv the Bark King, Annu All the men of Minas surrounded him.

They all wanted to follow the son of Turka.

So Aratu led five thousand guards including the Teleri elves returning from the west, Falas from the Gray Harbor, Sindar, the Noldor elves, the treants from the north, and the Kingdom of Elpera, and went straight to the valley.

Among them, the Teleri elves returning to the west had a very powerful light of Valinor shining on their faces, wearing exquisite armor inlaid with various gemstones, and white cloaks fluttering behind them, majestic and powerful.

These High Elves are the most powerful force in Middle-earth since the First Age.There will be no power in the world that can withstand their impact.

The army marched rapidly along the East-West Avenue, and reached the last bridge on the third day.Then in the afternoon, the army crossed the Cangquan River, and before the enemy could react, they flanked Ferdinand II at the mouth of the Bruinen River and defeated Sauron's fallen humans.

At that time, Elrond used the power of the ring of Qi in the three rings of the elves to prevent the enemy from entering the deep valley.

Afterwards, Aratu and Fintin II arrived in time.

Seeing the enemies filling the vicinity of the mouth of the Bruinen River and the black ships in the river, Aratu ordered people to blow the horn of counterattack.

So, on a starry night, the elves, treants, and Elpera Kingdom Guards attacked.

The Teleri under Orofenwe were the first to shoot their swift and well-aimed arrows.

The enemy was suddenly attacked, and they didn't know the number of coalition forces, so they fell into panic and confusion.

Facing the chaotic enemies, Noratu took the opportunity to brandish the sword Rinjill, and was the first to charge into the enemy formation!

It is said that that night, all the enemies standing in front of him were so shocked by his incomparable bravery that they were almost speechless.

Many say he was even braver than Fingolfin.

I saw Noratu, who had inherited the power of the dragonborn and elves, killed Titimel I, the leader of the group of Umbar pirates, with one sword, and cut off his head with one sword, which greatly inspired him. Allied morale.

Countless elves, treants, and human armies rushed into the enemy's camp, killing and killing.

Seeing the northern fords ablaze, Fintin II also led the dwarves of Khazad-dum to attack from the south.

Plus Elrond and others who rushed out of the deep valley.

The Black Númenoreans who came from the far sea of ​​Umbar in the south were almost completely wiped out here.Many were either slain by the enraged Ents and the Teleri led by Orofenwe, or driven from the Bruinen, that is, the Soundwater, and only one out of ten survived.

And most of those black ships were burned.

When the sun rose, there were corpses everywhere outside the deep valley, almost no enemy could stand anymore, and the blood that flowed even dyed the water of Xiangshui River red.

When the bad news came back to Minas Tirith, Sauron was extremely angry and frightened.

Because at that time, the most critical link in all his plans did not go as he expected.All his victories were small, and he was quickly overturned.

Now, he is about to face the most powerful attack since the first era.

Frodo and Sam, and Pippin and Merry listened nervously all night to the terrible roars beyond the valley, and the fires that filled the sky, and were speechless for a long time.

Hobbits were never bad fighters, so no one asked them to put on their armor and fight.

They were housed in a comfortable and safe room to wait out the fighting.

Bilbo, however, was so calm that he fell asleep in the armchair by the window.But please forgive him, since he chose to put down the Supreme Ring, old Bilbo has been getting old day by day, even if the time in the valley is stagnant, it cannot completely reverse this natural law.

Most of the time, he was either in a deep sleep, or with his head down, quietly contemplating his works.Sometimes, you can't even tell the two apart.

From the west window Frodo could see the dreadful sight beyond the valley, and he could scarcely breathe with terror gripping his heart.

In the past few days, almost all the elves stopped singing, but took bows and arrows and sharp swords, ready to fight, joy and joy disappeared from the supposedly beautiful and peaceful valley.

"I do not know whether I have done right to come to Rivendell this time. I do not know whether it is wise for me to take the ring," said Frodo. The sight. Sam, my heart barely beats to think that all the goodness we've known could be lost."

Sam looked at him worriedly, with tears in his eyes, "Dear Lord Frog, Lord Gandalf and Lord Elrond will solve this trouble. In fact, they are already doing it."

Merry also said: "Lord Turka and the Elves seem to have their plans, and Gandalf has always been trustworthy, though he didn't say so, so I think maybe we needn't worry."

Pippin also came running, and said: "Exactly! Perhaps after this battle we shall be able to return to the Shire."

Frodo was silent.Since none of Sam, Pippin, and Merry attended the meeting of Elrond, the friends did not know the next plan or the dilemma Frodo would face.

But Bilbo woke up suddenly, "I seem to hear someone talking about Shire." He showed a look of nostalgia: "Yes, Shire, Frodo, I miss that land very much, I miss the land I planted in The oak tree in front of the door, the seat in the old house, the sound of the wind blowing through the window, and even my cellar. You know, the dwarves emptied them all. It was a long time ago. It’s been a long time, and it’s been a good time. But I haven’t been back for a long time, and I even forgot what the fireplace looks like.”

Frodo came forward, and patted his old hand lightly, and said, "Perhaps we can go back. Rivendell is not far from the Shire, you know."

But all knew that Bilbo would never see the warm and comfortable home he had known again.For Frodo sold Bag End to the Sackville Bagginses long ago.But they couldn't bear to repeat the fact.

Just let him wallow, that's his right.

Frodo thought so.

But Bilbo looked at Frodo fixedly, with a trace of sadness on his wrinkled face: "I know, I will never go back. Staying here will allow me to live longer. I may die soon. There is nothing wrong with that, but I still have to finish my book and see the last hour."

Then, moving his ears, he said: "If I'm right, the battle will be over soon, and the horns of the elves will be short and sharp, and the roar of the dwarves. They are always yelling, and they like to use The ax rips the armor of the enemy, and the hammer flattens them."

Pippin became so curious that even his fears faded away.He said, "Bilbo, can you hear so many things from voices?"

Bilbo laughed and said, "If you've been through as much as I have, you can too."

Then he talked about his interesting stories over the years, many old tunes that Frodo and the others had heard countless times.

But no one would interrupt him, even if he was talking, he fell asleep again; then he woke up suddenly.

They all surrounded this venerable old man closely, listening to his long and legendary life.Until they all heard a cheer full of joy.

we won.

Frodo and Sam and Pippin and Merry jumped up all at once, and shouted loudly, and jumped and shouted.Bilbo looked at them with a smile, as if he saw himself many years ago.

Frodo saw Aratu the next day.And had a long talk with Elrond and Gandalf.

Sam and Pippin, and Merry did not know what Frodo had talked to them, and they had been left out of the plan.

But they were surprised to see that Orofenwe, his clansmen, the magical tree man, and Fendin II did not stay in the valley, nor did they celebrate. Instead, they headed south directly after a little rectification.

During this period, Noratu stayed in the valley.

Aratu alone led this great army of all the elves and dwarves of the North, and the treants and wizards, and went southward.

A month later Smaug came from the North, and descended into the Rivendell.Noratul and Frodo mounted the great back of old Smaug, and flew to Mordor.

　Thanks to Su Yue, Explosive Spores, Mingwu or2, DaClodSeven, and the monthly pass for Yinshuxianren.
