Dragonborn from Lord of the Rings

Chapter 199 Humanity Returns to Light
The wind blowing from the east whistled more and more fiercely, and condensed into a manic storm in an instant.The descendants of Thorondor spread their great wings across the deep blue sky.

As an emissary, it participated in almost all major events at the end of the Third Age.

"Evil is always on the move, which makes me tired of running around."

The descendants of Thorondo passed through the sky ten thousand meters with sharper eyes than the elves, and saw the Dongyi people running.Their gleaming blades and menacing iron helms shone like ice in the sun.

That was the army of the Demon Lord in Mordor, and they were all dispatched.

And it also saw the fire cloud from the eruption of the Olojuin volcano, the lightning and thunder in the eastern land, and the dark mass of the Ephel Duas Mountains spreading southward.

"Look, they're at it again, and hopefully young Celebrion is ready this time."

The travel-ridden emissary glanced at the spectacle, and soared through the towering clouds.It crossed the Shadow Mountains and the land called Ithilien by humans, and came to the Pelennor Plain.

But there are several snow-covered peaks guarding a castle, and the castle is integrated with the mountains, as if it is growing in the mountains.The many towers complement each other, and the dome of the main tower can clearly reflect the reflection of the lower towers.The steel brackets are like sharp claws, firmly grasping the white load-bearing wall.

That was Minas Tirith, the stone city of Men: a great army was confronting the Men on the stone city and the walls of Ramas Ehor in the vast plains of Pelennor.The banners of the Firstborn and the Secondborn fluttered in the wind, cold metal as bright as day, like the ancient battles of the First Age.

It screamed, passed through the thick clouds, and began to dive downward, the wind whistled in its ears, and the wind brushed its bright and smooth feathers, covering the head of the eldest son of the silver-white king like a shadow.

At that time, both sides looked at the envoy of the Great King in surprise.Aratu recognized the identity of the messenger, so the sharp arrows of elves and humans never fell on its head.

"Young Aratu." Whitehill hovered over the battlefield, bringing the latest news from the north, which was extremely exciting news for the coalition forces, "The silver king has awakened! Humans, elves, and dwarves are besieging that place." An ancient fortress."

Aratu straightened up excitedly, an uncontrollable excitement welling up in his heart.He shouted joyfully on his big white horse: "auta i lome! The darkest hour is over! Cheer, all hopeful people! Victory belongs to us!"

Cheers sounded like thunder over the battlefield.

"victory!"

The soldiers of Elpera took the lead in cheering excitedly.The sound vibrates the world.

This row of overwhelming waves spread to the left flank, and Eomer excitedly pulled out the king's sword Herugrim (Herugrim) given to him by King Theoden, shouting: Victory!
Infected by this, the people of Rohir couldn't help knocking on their shields, drawing their swords and erecting their spears, and following their leader shouted: Victory!
Fintin II on the right was even more excited with his beard trembling. He was riding on a strong horned sheep, and his thick steel helmet was even supported by his burgeoning beard and hair. "Baruk Khazd! Khazd ai-mênu!"

He swung his ax and hammer and let out a roar that shook the sky.

Although dwarves are rude and stubborn, stingy and even greedy, they are synonymous with enthusiasm and bravery, and a little spark can make them excited.So nearly 4000 dwarves also cheered, shouting loudly.

The people of Gondor and Erin Vaughan who had surrendered to Aragorn saw it, and they also shouted without hesitation.In the end, all the mountain calls converged into one voice: Wansheng!

It is said that at this moment, the cheers of the Northern Kingdom were like the giants of heaven and earth roaring.Doming Luin and the endless peaks of Ephel Duas resounded to this vast shout.

When Orofenwe heard this voice, he couldn't help sighing, and said: "I understand Feanor a little bit. Although he was killed by pride, but now, facing the cheers of creating history, I can't help but want to say: Even the immortal elf, and How can one resist the voice of freedom?"

At that time, Gamir, Elradun, Erothir and other Noldor elves heard what the son of Olwe said, and they couldn't help but look at each other with complicated emotions.

The guards of Ramath Ehor and Minas Tirith were even more shaken.

The collapse of their morale was visible to the naked eye, hesitation, the crossbow in their hands was as heavy as a mountain, and the heavy armor could not make their cold hearts and bodies feel a little warmth;

But at that time, the brave son of Beregand, Beregand II, shouted: "If the invaders can also claim to be king, then I will give up my loyalty to the light; if the victory is destined not to belong to us, then I I would like to use my life to prove my loyalty to Gondor! Go back, people below, maybe you are a descendant of the royal family, maybe you are not! But the people of Stone City will never surrender to the looters who come to march with soldiers. Even if we surrender, it is not because we sincerely Unless he is willing to retreat, use a gentler method, the way we Dúnedain people do, to gain the approval of more people! So, go back, I will not warn you a second time!"

As he spoke, he opened the bow and arrow in his hand and aimed at the people of Aragorn and Halbarad below—Beregand II was the general of Ramas Ehor, who was in charge of the outer defensive battle—he His father, Baron Berigand of the Port of Pelakir, was even one of the heroes who conquered the pirates of Umbar.It was he who defeated the pirate alliance led by Angamait II in the Umbar Strait, thus laying the foundation for the Southern Expedition in 2941 of the Third Age.

And the foolish and loyal son of Beregand, he was one of the many Gondor humans who were bewitched by Sauron in the dark ages.

Many people were infected by his bravery, and timidity and cowardice dissipated from their hearts immediately; as he said, if the barbarians from the north insist on using threats and swords to make them submit, so be it, and they will prove it with blood , Gondor humans are not cowards!Even if the other party is the prestigious silver king.

"Gondor will never retreat!"

The Gondor people who were deceived and bewitched shouted, but it was actually completely out of the terrible shadow framed by Sauron, not their will;

Listening to the fallen words of human beings before they killed each other, Sauron sat cross-legged on the cold stone seat and laughed.

Looking at the obstinate compatriots, Aragorn was sad and sad. If it was not necessary, he would not let the blade of the coalition army be stained with the blood of the Gondors; but at the same time, he also knew that the eldest son of the Silver King would not allow the proposal to retreat. .

He came out more and more, revealed his identity amidst cheers and angry curses, and shouted: "Listen, listen, my fellow citizens, this is the voice of light, this is the voice of pity: what you say is wrong You are sincere, because your heart, your eyes, and your ears are all deceived by Sauron! Yes, the person who occupies the seat of the prime minister is not a good person. Orandil is just his alias, his His true name is Sauron, Lord of Deceit, Wretched Betrayer, Lord of Darkness! It was he who killed Turgon II, seduced Exelion, murdered Denethor, and The two sons have been driven out of Minas Tirith! Let the wise see him for what he is!"

"This is deceptive words!" Berigand II glared at him, the crossbow in his hand trembling.But a voice roared in his heart, fighting against the shadow entrenched in his heart, which made him pale and helpless: "Leave, I will not believe the words of a presumptuous person, because he brought weapons and malice !"

"Then you are a fool!" Aragorn shouted: "The wise man not only listens with his ears, but also thinks with his heart: please think about who caused the endless war! And I am the son of Arathorn, Aragorn, I naturally have the right to proclaim the kingship, and the shadow in the royal court is the usurper!"

At that time, many people on Lamas Ehor heard their conversation, and the morale that had recovered slightly became low again.Especially those who are calm and sensible.They looked at each other in fear, raised their crossbows and lowered them again.

The prime minister is Sauron?
Oh my goodness.

The accusation is simply too dire.

they thought.

"Go back!" Beregand II shouted palely, the star of Elendil on Aragorn's forehead stung his eyes, a sense of despair and fear occupied his heart, he really couldn't accept Aragon He became terrified and disturbed by the accusations of the Sons of Pine, "Your words are more frightening than the most heinous curse, I will not listen! I will not admit it! Unless the man who calls himself King of Gondor has more direct evidence!"

But at the same time, Aratu also learned from the eagle Whitehill that the enemy was coming straight from the north and the south, so after cheering, he couldn't help shouting: "Come back, Aragorn! I have given them a chance Yes, but the short-sightedness and stubbornness of human beings prevent them from listening to the advice of wise men! Now, the enemy is rushing, and we have no more time to waste here."

At the same time, the flag bearers galloped endlessly, and the orders were conveyed to every general who was fighting.Thus, the Ent clan led by the elves, dwarves, Rohir, Erin Vaughan, and Treebeard began to be quiet, and everyone cheered up, and the war was about to break out.

Aragorn's heart was indeed with his compatriots, but he could not disobey the order of the eldest son of the Silver King. He tried to persuade the humans of Ramas Ehor again, to persuade them not to help the evil, but with Berigand The Gondor humans headed by II refused to accept it.

At this moment, two horses came running like the wind from the south.

"Please stop!"

Gandalf rode on the shadow of victory, like a saint coming, with hope and light, "Stop! Whether it is the son of the silver king, or the deceived human!" His voice echoed in the battlefield like thunder: "If the descendants of Isildur can't calm you down, please listen to me: the usurper is not Aragorn, but Prime Minister Orendil, or Sauron!"

The figure next to him lifted the cloak on his head, and saw the sun shining on his rumored handsome face, looking majestic and worried, it was the long-lost Swan Knight.

He said: "Men of Gondor, open your eyes and cleanse your ears. The shadow has lain upon us for too long, and now it is time to let the light shine again on this great white city: above the throne is It is the devil incarnate, whom the Son of Turgon seduced!"

At that time, fate made Exelian wake up at the craziest time, and did not ban the king of Dol Amroth, so his appearance shocked many people.

"Prince Do Amroth!"

"It is I!" said Adrasil. "In the name of my father, I swear that Mythrandil's words are true! The Vizier is the Demon Lord! Son of Berigand, put down your sharp arrows , the person you should be loyal to is the human being in front of you, he is the son of Arathorn, the descendant of Isildur!"

The shadow in Berigand II's heart rises endlessly like a flame. He is not a coward, but he must think about who is telling the truth and who is lying.

At that time, many humans like him also fell into great panic.

However, at this time, there was a rush of bells in the city.Sauron noticed the uneasy surprise in the development of events, and he was angry and frightened. He ordered the humans of Ramas Ehor to attack the coalition forces of the Northern Kingdom.

But he was too hasty and inconsiderate of the orders of the soldiers, which made him self-defeating. The shadow in Berigand II's heart receded like a tide, and the light returned to his heart.He dropped the crossbow in his hand and let out a long sigh.

"Well, let fate decide whether we are right or wrong! I don't recognize the kingship of the descendants of Isildur, but I can't just watch innocent people die here! The person on the throne will only let us die, But he doesn't understand the fear we face, let him deal with the anger of the King of the North, this is not an act of treason, but a helpless compromise!"

In this way, the gate of Ramas Ehor suddenly opened.

The human beings who had previously opposed Aragorn and the others chose to surrender their weapons and submit to the Northern Kingdom; most of the humans who refused to submit were arrested by Beregand II, and some diehards were also killed. , but compared with the people who died in the battle between the two sides, there are much fewer people.

It was also at that time that Aratu understood that the tragedy of fighting in the same room has never been eliminated from human beings.This point, even Gandalf and Aragorn are helpless.

Sauron, who was perched on the high royal court, saw the army of the northern kingdom pouring into Ramas Ehor like a tide, and understood that all his sinister intentions were like snow in the sun under the tricks of the coalition forces and wizards. fleeting.

His smile stopped on his face, and anger welled up in his heart. His unparalleled handsome figure could not conceal his terrible and ferocious anger. He cursed those cowardly humans, and cursed that their country would eventually be destroyed.

He said: "If they think they can escape, let them have this false hope, but one day, they will know that without my hand, all of them will eventually turn to dust, the old palace Will crumble, stone walls will be pushed down, metal will rot in the mud! Yes, it will all come!"
