Dragonborn from Lord of the Rings

Chapter 211 The Battle of Utumno (for Monthly Ticket Subscription)

The line of Nuyin-el-Lodgon was thin and long when it was first built, and even though the dwarves continued to repair it, the elves built their craft and ideas of magic on this line for several days afterward. The last line of defense of Middle-earth in the Era, but until the outbreak of the final battle (the Doomsday War), it was still not enough to cover the long area from the Lonely Mountain in the west to the Iron Hills in the east.

Third Age, 3019, June Fourteenth.

It is now dawn, and the mist still hangs over the land.In other words, in this vast and desolate land of the extreme north, the never-ending cold wind and fog are the main theme.

The wind of destruction that blows in from the outer ring sea passes through Ilmen, and turns into frost and snow that freezes everything. Like a sharp blade, it spins and rises with the wind, spreading over the entire Iron Mountain Range.Elves, dwarves, and humans all trembled and cowered, protecting their eyes, and wrapping their bodies tightly with fur, cotton wool, or cloaks. Only the dragon descendants blessed by Iluvita, Turka Arakanor is still wearing the armor of an elf, not afraid of cold wind, ice and snow.

At this moment, he was standing on a high simple tower, looking at the ominous shadow mountain range far away, his blue cloak blowing in the howling cold wind.

In his sight, an endless mountain range covered the northern sky. They were taller and steeper than the Misty Mountains. They were piled up by the power of Morgoth before the epoch. Even the eyes of the Valar It is impossible to completely penetrate the endless underground and see through the evil there.

On the south side, three bottomless cracks suddenly appeared. On both sides of them were unattainable rock walls. Except for the big eagle, no creature could climb over it.The valley under the steep rock wall is the only passage to enter the dark kingdom. Of course, there are three such passages.

At the end of the long mountain pass known as the Udon Valley, a majestic stone wall unimaginable to humans stands in front of the gate of Utumno. It was built by some ancient technology that has long been lost. The sum of the seven city walls is still high, and in the center are three gates made of black iron; the city walls have been injected with some mysterious power, which can resist any form of attack. Kong, there are heavy soldiers in charge day and night, monitoring the situation in the south at all times;
But Iluvatar, thankfully, has been toppled.

According to the legend of the elves, it was Vera who overthrew it during the battle of the gods in the era of giant lamps.

At that time, Tulkas went deep into the ground, fought fiercely with Melkor, and finally knocked down the most powerful fallen Valar to the ground, bound him with Angenor, an iron chain made by Auri, and brought him back to prison; Been at peace for many years.

Yet the Valar did not discover all the great and disguised caverns and cellars hidden beneath Angband and Utumnor.Many evil things still lingered there, and some fled like birds and beasts into the darkness, and wandered in the desolate and abandoned world, waiting for a more evil time; The devil is one of them.

Even the Balrog in the first battle since Turka Arakano's arrival—the Battle of Myslond.Also, the Villas couldn't find Sauron.

Also, after the war the North was in ruins and the rising smoke created large, thick clouds that blotted out the stars in the sky.

Therefore, even Eonwe and Turka are not sure to challenge that ancient hell alone.

"But it all must end." In the strong wind, Turka murmured.

His eyes fell on the dwarves and elves who were working tirelessly like ants in the vast and desolate northern wasteland.They saw that although they couldn't see the dawn in the morning, the dense fog covered everything, and the wind and snow lingered on their simple wooden house, and also covered the terrifying mountain range far away, but they looked to the north. His eyes were full of vigilance.

The Men from Elpera and the Elves from Lothlórien, and the Dwarves of the Lone Mountain and the Iron Hills used rocks and roughly pruned huge logs to build simple point of defense.For they understand that even when the night is over, evil never dies.Enemies who lurk deep underground and beyond the world will one day return.

In order not to repeat the tragic scene of the Second Lone Mountain War, even the most stubborn dwarves despised their arrogant nature and struggled for their survival and tomorrow;

Only those elite warriors and elf archers are patrolling day after day.They were covered with thick furs, and the swords and crossbows in their hands were well wrapped in grease, so that they could draw their swords out of their sheaths immediately when needed.

Correspondingly, billowing black smoke and flames have been emitting from the huge cracked door of Utumno all year round. It seems that the enemy is seizing every opportunity to prepare for war. I know that a battle that will determine the fate of both parties is coming.And his enemies also had the advantage of the terrain.

"The enemy still has power. Their master has never been truly destroyed for a day, and all the evil that started from him will not end." A voice sounded from behind him.

It was Arwen, Princess Eveningstar of Lothlórien.She wore a thick down-trimmed cloak, some kind of animal's smooth skin made up the back material, and a green leaf-like gemstone button was fastened on the chest, even the eternal wind and frost of the Northland could not submerge it of brilliance.Under the cloak, a pair of star-like eyes stared straight at him.

Turka has already heard her footsteps on the tower. Even if the elves can walk on the snow without a trace, they are too close, and the natural power in the elf princess is like a star in the dark, even if he does not go Look, Turka can still clearly feel her coming.

"About the traces of the dark enemy, even Vera can't foresee it, how can we discern it?" Turka was silent for a moment, then sighed: "We can only do our best and leave it to fate."

"This battle will be won." Arwen finally looked away from Turka, looking at the mountain range in the extreme north, with a ray of anxiety and fear in his eyes, "but elves, dwarves, and humans There will be no less blood shed."

"I've never been happy about war, my princess." Turka finally turned her head, and the playful figure of the elf was reflected in the golden vertical pupils, "But I will not back down either. For this, in Myslond I I understand."

It is said that Arwen's reason for advising Turka was not that she felt that this battle was unnecessary, but that she begged him that when victory came, he could stop for a short time, because every step he took, he was far away from the battle. Tanikatiel was one step closer, and she didn't want his name to be sanctified.

"The wise know when to stop," she said. "Middle-earth still needs you, and those who love you still need you. When you chase the stars above the firmament, look down on Elano of Cairn Amroth."

Elanor is a small golden or silver star-shaped flower that is found in Tor Eresia and Los Lorien.In 870 of the First Age, at the wedding of Aldarion, Crown Prince of Númenor, and Erendis, the Eldar of Tor Eressia came to congratulate them with a boat full of flowers, including the flowers of Elano and Lissoin Flowers.Therefore, all the guests at the wedding feast were able to wear the wreaths woven by Elano and Lyssuin, and the fragrance was refreshing.

And when Arwen dwelt in Lothlórien, she used to walk and sing alone on the hill of Cairin Amroth, among the golden and silver flowers of Elano.

Turka was dumbfounded.Because he can feel the love hidden in the heart of the elf princess, but now he can't repay the love reciprocally.So, he shut up.

The wind and snow remained the same, but silence spread between the two of them.

Finally, the sky became dark little by little, the strength of Yarien in the sky began to weaken, Tyrion's strength began to be revealed, and the snowflakes in the sky began to reflect a faint golden color.Suddenly, a loud noise came from the southeast, resounding throughout Central Continent.

Arwen, who temporarily held the ring of water among the three rings of the elves for Mrs. Galadriel, felt that some kind of power was rapidly passing through the white gemstone ring between her fingers. Her body and mind were occupied by weakness and sadness. The elf princess was about to Surprised and delighted, he said: "Elbereth! Gilthoniel! What Sauron believed to be evil is destroyed, and everything achieved by that power is now disappearing. The responsibility of the elves in this era is coming to an end. Cheer, elves! Cheer! , dwarves! Hail, children of Middle-earth!"

Arwen Evening Star's voice even overwhelmed the wind and snow, and echoed in this vast and desolate northern land, once reaching the end of the Iron Mountain Range.All the elves, dwarves, and humans who heard the movement and the elf princess's words cheered loudly.

Turka even turned his head to look east, full of joy in his heart.

Thus, in the year 3019 of the third era, on the fourteenth day of the sixth month, rumors of Sauron's failure and disappearance spread throughout Middle-earth like the wind.The dark clouds covering the east and south are slowly dissipating after a period of turmoil in the distance.

The enemy realized their fate of failure, Utumno let out some kind of mournful howl all night long, and in the bottomless cavern, the towering peaks erupted with even more blazing flames, billowing black smoke, covering the The sky blocks out the sun.

On June [-]th, Aragorn became king in Minas Tirith.

On the Seventh of July, Elrond and Galadriel and the Hobbits came to the White City; Aragorn married Éowyn.

On the tenth day of the eighth month, Frodo and Gandalf left Minas Tirith and returned to Rivendell.

On August [-]th, the coalition forces of humans, elves, dwarves, and treants swore an oath in Minas Tirith, and headed north to the Lonely Mountain with Aratu Arakano as their commander.

On the twelfth of September, Frodo reached Rivendell, and Bilbo Baggins celebrated his 130th birthday, equaling Old Took's record as the longest-lived Hobbit.

On September [-], the Central Continent Allied Forces arrived at the Nuyin-El-Lodgon line of defense.

Ten days later, on the first day of October, the Allied forces marched across the vast and desolate Frodlands to the Iron Mountains.The Battle of Utumno broke out.

On that day, all the kings of Central Continent gathered in front of Udon Valley.Countless ancient and glorious banners lined up in front of the battle, the standard bearers and heralds galloped endlessly from west to east; the trumpeters blared their horns, the kings and their generals gathered under their respective banners, the exquisite armor Even in the wind and snow all over the sky, it is also shining brightly.

According to the excerpt from "Emperor of the Dragonborn, The Third Era, The Last Battle", on that day, the order of the kings from west to east was the green-edged brown-backed white deer banner of the Erin Vaughan, the king's banner of the dwarves of Turin, and the king's banner of the Erin Vaughan. The White Swan Banner of Lund, the White Ship Star Banner of Orofenwe, the Dragon Wing Banner of Turka Arakano, the King Banner of Galadriel and Celeborn, the Green Banner of the Woodland Kingdom, Duo's one-tree seven-star crown banner, Rohan's green-backed white horse banner-because Treebeard and his people adopted the ancient and rough parliamentary system, they did not fly the so-called king's banner.They don't need to either.

In addition, Aratu and his brothers, Noratu Alakano, Glorfindel the Lord of the Golden Flower, Gamir of the Gray Harbor, Fintin II of Khazadum, the envoy of Manwe and the head of the generals Eonwe and others gathered under the command of their respective leaders.Everyone has distinct armors, spears and swords like a forest, bows and crossbows like rain, and morale like a rainbow.

Then, with a warm westerly wind blowing from the other side of the sea, the frightening sky in the Iron Mountains in the extreme north of Central Continent, which was always snowed and snowed all year round, suddenly lit up.

At that moment, the wind stopped, the snow melted, and the distant Pangshuo Mountain Range, which was always shrouded in fog and snow, suddenly appeared in the eyes of the generals and soldiers.

In the sky, after countless epochs, the light of Yarien scattered on this eternally frozen land again.

As a result, the Central Continent Allied Forces knew that the power of the Western Powers was coming here at this moment.

A great cry of cheers broke out among the countless soldiers, and the power from it reached even to the depths of the deep caverns of Utumno; Guangming's shouts were so frightening that he shivered and couldn't help himself.

Then, the greatest and most glorious silver king among the kings came out from the crowd, and the sound of hooves of the Holy Spirit Nahar clearly reached everyone's ears.

Gradually, the expected chaos subsided.All the troops began to move in unison: the dwarves stopped tapping their shields, the men dropped their spears, the elves straightened their eyes, and the trees stopped shouting.

"today."

Turka Arakano's voice thundered: "Holy Iluvatar bears witness; West Valar bears witness! Today the Era ends; today the Era begins!"

In the next second, a shocking battle cry suddenly erupted, and the battle began.

Soldiers like the vast ocean marched forward under the rhythm of drums, and the sound they made made the ground tremble.In past battles, these drums have terrified the enemy before they even saw them.

In the sky, the envoys of Manwe, the clan of eagles also came to help.Together with the dragon Smaug, who was blind in one eye, they fought a fierce aerial battle with the dragon of the enemy's side in the air.

　New Year... Hey, is there anyone else?
