Dragonborn from Lord of the Rings

Chapter 189 The Fall of Boromir and the Elegy of the Rothirs

While the White Princess of Rohan staged a coup d'état in Edoras, troubles arose in the distant war.

At that time, due to the participation of more tree men than in the original battle of the Pelennor Plain, the northern army led by Aragorn was more brave and elite than the enemy.On the vast Westfold Plain, silver and gray-green armies swept away the mottled enemies like a tidal wave. Two hours after the start of the battle, the balance of the war began to tilt towards the northern army.

But at this moment, the enemy's commander-in-chief finally appeared.

At that time, everyone heard a very terrifying roar, and then there was a strong wind, which made Aragorn and others on the ground terrified.

Everyone can't help but look up.I saw a huge shadow like a dark cloud, flying from the sky, bringing fear and terror that made knees tremble.

behold!It was a winged creature: they were not birds, for it was larger than all the others, and was bald, without quills or feathers, with broad wings like membranes stretched between pointed fingers, It also stinks.

Perhaps it was a creature born in an older time of the world, whose race lingered in the cold mountains forgotten by moonlight, outlived their time, hatched this untimely last brood in hideous nests, sexually delighted evil.

Sauron the Dark Lord captured them, and fed it with carrion, until it grew exceedingly large, far exceeding all other birds, and then he gave it to his servants as a mount.

Ah, yes, Sauron's strongest subordinate, the Dark Lord, has arrived.

They swooped down from the sky on a mutated flying beast. The first flying beast had a figure sitting on its back, covered in a black cloak, huge and full of threats.

He wore a steel crown, but there was nothing between the brim and the black robe, save for a pair of eyes that shone with a deadly light: this was the Nazgul Chief.

He had failed many times before, and now he came back to bring destruction, hope to despair, victory to death.

"Nazgul!"

Aragorn yelled sharply, almost overshadowing the fight on the battlefield: "Be careful! The enemy has finally revealed his last card, all warriors of light, stick to your heart!"

However, the vicious beast gathered the membrane propped up by its fingers and claws, howled hoarsely, and rushed into the coalition army. With a shake of its huge wings, dozens of soldiers were blown away.

Moreover, the voice of the strange beast probably contained some vicious magic, because almost everyone who heard the voice couldn't help but cover their ears with a splitting headache.Evil people are not affected, because their hearts are originally black, so they are not afraid of this terrible darkness.

As a result, the offensive of the coalition forces stalled, because the speed of sound transmission was much faster than the speed at which the soldiers swung their swords. Many people even dropped their weapons in pain and fell to the ground.

The Ring Spirits also brought a huge number of bats, and they were like black winds, sweeping across the formation of the Allied Forces of Light.

"Gildor! Gildor!" Aragorn shouted in the crowd: "Can the arrow of the elf pierce the heart of the enemy!"

In the chaos, Gildo Inglorian cut off the head of a fallen human with a sword, then retracted the sheath, drew the bow with his backhand, led the arrow, and shot it out.

Look.

The elf's arrow with starlight flew hundreds of meters away, piercing the beating heart of the enemy.

Ding!
The Witch King of Angmar, who was the leader, swung a long meteor hammer and knocked away the arrows of the elves.He found the descendants of Isildur in the crowd, and the Witch King immediately drove the flying beast to the commander of the coalition army.

"careful!"

Boromir jumped and threw Aragorn on his horse.But when the wind blows, the flying beast descends from the sky, gradually falls, and then gathers the skin membrane supported by its fingers and claws, screams hoarsely, and falls on the horse of the King of Man, its claws are buried deep in the horse's body, and its long, bald legs The neck bent down, grabbed it and flew up.

After flying to a certain height, the flying beast used the wind and inertia to throw Aragorn's mount flying, knocking down a large area.

This caused some confusion among the coalition forces, and many people flocked to their commander, praying that he was okay.

In the distance, with the arrival of the black commander, the defeated enemy army became excited.Under the urging of a black knight, they regrouped and prepared to push back.

Gildor shot his second, third, and fourth, fifth, and sixth arrows, and finally, a sharp arrow pierced the sky and pierced the enemy's heart.

The flying beast let out a final howl, and fell from the air, smashing into the crowd.

But the black commander is not dead, nor will he die.He stood up from the corpse of the flying beast like a hill, his tall cloaked body was like an iron tower, he was the shadow of the setting sun, the embodiment of death.All humans who witnessed the head of the Nazgul were terrified and disturbed.

Wielding a huge meteor hammer and shield, the Witch King was fighting among the crowd. When human warriors met him, all their weapons were broken, their shields were broken, and they all bowed their heads.

Treants can fight him, but at the same time the Witch King is a sorcerer, he emits vicious green flames, Treebeard and his people cannot survive in this flames, the crackling sparks quickly turn from a small point to a raging fire Burning torch.So the treants also retreated.

In the end, he killed Aragorn and Boromir who were supported by the guards and vagrants.

"Aragorn."

From the hollow head of the Witch-King with its steel crown came a hoarse, sinister cry, like a serpent's message, and like the echo of a cave.

Many human warriors had weak knees, fighting with each other.

Only the Tramp and Aragorn, and Boromir, were not afraid of him.But they also knew that they were no match for the Lord of the Ringwraiths. Boromir said anxiously to Aragorn: "Nothing can kill him, no one can. Aragorn, my brother, be careful."

Aragorn gripped the Human King's sword tightly and said loudly: "Anduril is not a common thing in the world, we still have a chance to win! Come on, let us witness the courage of human beings here!"

Then led his people and Boromir, rushed to the enemy.

This is a battle destined to glory and death. The brilliance of Anduril collided with the green fire of the Witch King. The sound of weapons biting continued, and the armor was scorched. Humans died, and the Witch King stood up. .

Son of Denethor, Boromir's sword pierced the enemy's heart, but could not hurt the opponent. The Witch King's huge chain hammer hit him, and Boromir flew backwards. Flowing from the corner of his mouth.

But the valor of his and the others gave Aragorn his chance, and Anduril thrust his sword between the steel crown and cloak of the enemy.In an instant, sparks flew everywhere.

A howl rose into the trembling air, decayed into a shrill cry, and drifted away on the wind.A feeble voice with no form to cling to faded away and was utterly lost, never to be heard again in that age of the world.

The crown clanged and rolled away.

But there was nothing under the cloak and chainmail.At the moment they are piled on the ground shapeless, damaged and messy.

Aragorn couldn't be happier, so he crawled up to Boromir sadly, helped him up and said, "Boromir, open your eyes, and don't leave me. The White City is right in front of you, and we shouldn't part here. "

Boromir opened his eyes when he heard the voice, his eyes were clear, and he opened his mouth with difficulty, his voice was calm.

"Farewell, my king! My brother!" he said, "my body is useless, and I am going to meet my ancestors. Although the family of the prime minister has fallen, but now I am among the great ancestors, Well deserved too. I hit the Witch King. So please don't be sad for me, it's just that I can no longer see the White City in the sunset, hope the reforged Anduril will save our country, save us people!"

Aragorn was speechless, and sadly grabbed Boromir's hand. "I will, my brother." He finally said, "The White City will be restored to glory, I promise."

Boromir smiled and said, "So be it. Don't be sad! You saved me once, and now I'll give it back to you." He closed his eyes and left forever.The grandson of Exelion, the son of Denethor, used his bravery and loyalty to wash away the shadow and betrayal that entrenched the Hurin family.

Aragorn bowed his head beside him.Incomparably sad in my heart.

But at that very moment there was a great clamor all around them, and horns and trumpets blared.Aragorn turned his head and looked around: he had completely forgotten the war, the whole world around him, and it felt like hours had passed since the moment Boromir fell.

But at this time, he realized that the enemy and us are about to confront each other again, and the war is not over yet. The enemy has regrouped and is preparing to launch a counterattack.

Although the black commander died, the other eight black knights were still there.

The enemy's fresh army was rushing along the road from the army of Morgul and Mordor, and Harald's army came from the south of the plain. The cavalry was first, and the infantry was behind. The figure of a huge mammoth.

"Please stop for a moment, my friend." Aragorn stood up, picked up Anduril on the ground, and looked down at his companion for the last time: "Please watch us defeat the enemy, or be killed by the enemy!"

Meanwhile, as Aragorn battles to the death with his enemies to the east, we should not forget that another support army to the north is also on the move.

At that time, Éomer was leading the Rohan army led by Erkenbrand to set up a formation at the southwest pass of the narrow and long Eshin River Ferry, blocking the way for Harald's army to advance eastward.

The battle was extremely fierce. The enemy piled up their corpses, like waves hitting a rock continuously, impacting Éomer and others on the other side of the tunnel entrance.During this period, the horns sounded, and the trumpets continued to sound. When the mammoth was driven into the battlefield, it also roared roughly, which once overwhelmed the sound of the Eshin River flowing.

In the east, the majestic shadow of the White Mountains kept lowering, lowering, and lowering as time went by, pressing heavily on Eomer and the others' hearts.

The Rohir people have no reinforcements except courage and narrow corridors.

So, in an impact, Erkenbrand was hit by a poisoned arrow in the eye and fell down. A group of the bravest people of the Helm's Deep Lord's family surrounded him and all died in battle. Stacks of golden hillocks.

In the end, only Éomer was left to face the group of enemies.He threw down his shield, and swung his sword, Guthnevi, and slew foe after foe; and the song says that at last the prince of the Rohir was sawed and nearly broken.

And Éomer cried out, "Fight! This is the last lament of the sons of Eorl! Guthnevi, Guthnevi!" and so he cried twenty times.

The enemies recognized the brave Rohirr prince, and they swarmed upon him, threw him down, and tried to capture him alive.

But the arm of the person who touched him first was cut off instantly.

However, Gusneville also broke because of this.It is said that this is the most famous weapon forged by human beings, and it is famous through the ages because of Éomer's heroic fighting.

The enemies held him immobile with their shields, then laughed and mocked their overreach.

Although Eomer refused to admit defeat, he could only suffer this humiliation at this time.

At this moment, the elves, treants, dwarves, and Elpera's guards led by Aratu finally arrived at the western battlefield in the fourth hour after the start of the war after several days of rapid march.

When Aratu saw that the Rohir people were desperate and tried their best to defend the road of the Northern Allied Forces going east and the rear of Aragorn, he was moved and angry.

He blew the sacred horn Ulu Murui vigorously, with such force that even the mountains trembled under the sound of the majestic horn, and all rivers stopped flowing.

"Everyone, unsheath your swords and strike your shields!" Aratu held up his sword, Alan Ruth, shining bright red and blue rays in the sun: "Let us go forward bravely, rush! To destruction, to the world the end!"

Then rushed out first.

He spit out a torrent of brilliant flames, sweeping across the battlefield like plowing holes, and almost all the enemies who dared to stand in front of him were instantly turned into balls of fire.

Behind him, the combined forces of high elves, middle-earth elves, treants, dwarves, and humans rushed across the Eshin River like a tide, toward the narrow passage to the west, and toward the enemy.

Among them, the returning elves led by Orofenwe are the most shocking.

For they had been bathed in the divine light of Valinor, and were stronger, or as powerful, as the defected Noldor of the First Age.Unless an endless sea of ​​people grinds away their lives, Central Continent has no power to resist them.

As a result, the enemy almost turned around and fled. Even the mammoths fell to the ground under their swords and sharp arrows.

Some people also tried to resist, but they were all knocked down and lost their lives.

Under the leadership of Vladliff, the treants roared to break apart the rocks and the stones on the ground, and threw them far away like a trebuchet, all of them were broken.

The dwarves did not dare to lag behind.Ferdinand II was extremely brave. He wielded an ax and a warhammer, and was almost the second to rush into the enemy's line after Aratu.He cut off the head of an enemy, smashed the forehead of the No.2 enemy, and laughed.

"One, two, haha, dwarves' axes are always hungry!"

When Éomer opened his eyes, what he saw was the scene of the enemy running for their lives in a panic, so the son of Éomund heaved a sigh of relief, and slowly closed his eyes.

He didn't die, fate didn't let him die in this battle.

Afterwards, he was picked out from the pile of corpses.
