Dragonborn from Lord of the Rings

Chapter 212 Spider!spider!
There are many descriptions of later generations in the Second War of Light, the most famous of which are "Dragonborn Emperor·Third Era·The Last Battle" and the dwarf book "Battle of Vengeance", as well as the elf epic "The Last Dragon".

"Ah, the snow falls like gold in the wind,

Smaug!King of Dragons!

Wings like clouds, eyes like the sun.

Roaring like a king sweeps the sky,

Taniquetil, Varda holy and majestic,
The sky is blue and the stars shine, and the light falls on the earth,
The eagle's wings flutter, and his voice is like the king's flute in the hall,
On the top of Yongjie Mountain, Manwei held up his hands, covering them like clouds,
He brings the sound of a new age.

But now who's going to pour my wine?

The gray sea that divides the two banks, the waves block the mist,
Never see him.

Smaug!King of Dragons!

Never see him. "—"The Last Dragon"

"... Driven by Morgoth (one said it was Ugoliant), the last and largest group of dragons in Middle-earth crossed the unattainable peak north of the Iron Mountain and launched an attack on the coalition forces. In the valley of Udun, Elves, dwarves, humans, and shepherds of Hundred Trees shed endless blood to liberate this era; on that day, the stars shed tears of mourning for the tragedy on the earth.

Ah, the emperor took the lead in breaking down the enemy's line of defense in front of the gate. Even after 1000 years, the hooves of the Holy Spirit Nahar still echoed in that dark and evil cave and in that mountain range with dangerous rocks.The emperor yelled at Alatar in front of the gate, but there was no answer, and the noble Maiya lost his dignity that day. "——"Dragonborn Emperor·Third Era·The Last Battle"

"Revenge! Revenge!

Dwarves of Turin, armed with swords and axes, roaring loudly,
May you never forget the Iron Hills!

The mountain is deep, the forging fire is blazing, Turin!Turin!
May you never forget Thorin's tomb!
In the north, in Utumno, the dwarves rise up with their axes and hammers, and launch the final decisive battle against the enemy in the dark!

Durin ai-mênu!
May your beard still grow. "—"The Battle of Vengeance"

As the last dragon of Middle-earth, Smaug lived a long and legendary life.He was first known as a dragon.He slew, devoured, and destroyed kingdom after kingdom of men and dwarves; his insatiable greed for gold and treasure.It's in his nature.

But when the third era, 2941.

In the Lonely Mountain, after the adventure that is now famous in Middle-earth, the dragon Smaug became a defender of Middle-earth, a herald of light, which, I have to say, is a bit ironic.

But the oath bound him.

Smaug, who lost his left eye, roared angrily, opened his mouth full of sharp teeth, and bit one of the dragons by the neck.He and his kind fought in the air, the Eagle King and his kind circled and dashed, the wind and the flames bloomed in it, claws and teeth, wings and wings, from day to night.

Before dawn Smaug slew the largest of his kin, and his teeth tore through the dragon's scales, and the scorching blood rained down, and the dragon fell from the sky, and fell on the The peaks of the towering Iron Mountains to the south.

The sun rose, and the hosts of Middle-earth prevailed, and all the dragons were slain; and the Eagles led Whitehill, scion of Thorondor, and Landelova, and youthful and swift Meneldor. , defeated them; and Smaug roared so loudly that he became the last dragon in Middle-earth.

On the ground, all the orcs, trolls, wolves, and bats gathered here under the orders of the blue-robed wizard Alatar, or the evil master behind him, were all under the impact of the coalition forces' perseverance, and even bloodshed and sacrifice. Finally rout.They turned around and fled, fleeing into the terrible hell, trying to avoid being hunted down; in the long Udon Canyon, the corpses of elves, dwarves, humans, and tree people were all over the ground.Even the Teleri elves, who were as powerful as returning to the west, could not help but fall on that bloody mountain road.

It is said that at that moment, the fear of death welled up in Orofenwe's heart, because there had been no such tragic things in Aman for a long time, but he never forgot his promise to the king. It was the fury of hatred, and he followed Turka Arakano into the enemy's fortress, the nightmare place of all good life in Middle-earth.

Aratu and Noratu followed closely behind.The swords in their hands and the anger in their mouths became the nightmare of all those who were enemies of the light in that era.

Others poured in through the other two gates: Galadriel with Celeborn, Elrond with his sons, Aragorn with Legolas, Gimli, and Aeon Wei was together; the tree man did not follow because he hated burrows by nature.

They and Erin Vaughn, and the Men of Rohan, stood guard at the gates, and drove off those who fled into the other three sides of the craggy mountains.

Here, we only talk about Turka and his party who walked through the gate in the middle.

They passed through layers of labyrinthine steps, and the black road in front of them was full of cracks, and creatures that looked like coiled snakes appeared from time to time.On both sides were lofty crags, and they rose to the height of the mountains like a canopy; not even a Dwarf could have made such a building: it was built in the prime of Morgoth's power, and no mortal man could match it.

And when they walked down the endless stairs, a bottomless crypt leads directly to the nether world, and countless large and small stone gates and caves appear in front of them; It stinks.And in that huge crypt, a group of black shadows thicker than ink shrouded it, it was a shadow that even the sharpest-eyed elves couldn't see through.

Must have chosen the wrong way.

Hal Barad and Galdo looked at each other.The deputy prime minister ordered the soldiers to light the torches, but the light seemed to freeze, and could only illuminate the steps under their feet.Above the tall cave, there are many black shadows, covering everyone's heads.

"This is more like a labyrinth." His Highness Alatu said, "A labyrinth that goes deep into the center of the earth, with a mountain as the door."

A stupid cave troll broke through the blockade of layers of soldiers, and staggered to their father with the last remaining courage.Its body was riddled with elven arrows, its eyes were blinded, and it was killed by multiple bone-deep wounds.

But even so, it can still deliver the final blow.

choke.

The elven sword Alanrus resisted the ogre's huge pointed hammer, and his younger brother, His Royal Highness Noratu, cut off its ugly head with Ringier.

"I think it's more like a spider's cave," he said. "It's twisted and twisted, and every tunnel leads to the ground. The decay and the stench make me sick."

Turka looked at his sons with relief, and instead of looking at the ogre on the ground, he cast his piercing gaze on the unseen darkness.

"Perhaps you are both right," he said, as if he had seen something, and for the first time a look of surprise appeared on his face, "but in any case, victory is at hand, and we must not retreat. Come, me, you, we together .”

Aratu and Noratu looked at their father with envious eyes.So the king and his two sons came to the front.The silver-white elf armor and their weapons shone in the darkness, illuminating the path of the Middle-earth humans and the elves who followed them.

"Praise Iluvatar," Harbarad whispered.

Galdo looked at him, as well as Fenner's two sons, and smiled.

The king and his two sons killed all the enemies who stood in their way.Among them are vile orcs, wolves hiding in the dark, and occasionally some lonely ogres.But there are many others. With the fall of Utumno, these enemies who fell into madness all failed and fell under the power of the Dragonborn family.

On that day even the black ground of Utumno was covered with the blood of the wickedness of the world.

But the darkness that shrouded the depths of the ground became more and more intense, and a darker force than the deep night was still lingering in this cave polluted by Morgoth in ancient times.

The air grew hotter, and from the cavern there was a foul stench, not the sickly putrid smell of the mogul meadows, but a stale stench, as if its dark interior had accumulated immeasurable The filth of names.

Nahal even snorted in disgust.ding ding.Its golden horseshoe knocked out sparks on the icy ground, and then dimly extinguished.

A voice said in Turka's mind: Go ahead, it's down there.

Aratu and Noratu also smelled something from the sulfurous wind deep in the mountain, and they became uneasy.For the first time they saw such a darkness: in unrecovered Moria, there was air, sound, and space; but here, the air was stagnant, foul, suffocating, and dead.

The soldiers and elves of the Kingdom of Elpera seem to be walking in the black vapor created by the real darkness itself. As they inhale this black mist, they are not only blinded in their eyes, but also blind in their minds. Any bright memory has also faded from my mind.As if it had always been night here, and always would be night here, and night was everything.

But for a moment, they still feel it.In fact, the sensation in their hands and feet is almost painfully acute at first.They were surprised to find that as they went down, the light of the torches became dimmer, and finally even the light was swallowed up, and everyone fell into a blackness that was darker than darkness.

The light of Valinor on Nahar, the Holy Spirit, couldn't even illuminate the darkness, because it spewed out this black thing, which could swallow even light.It's been like that since they were born.They know little of the changes in the outer world, or care about towers, rings, and anything the mind and hand devise.They longed only for all other beings to die, mind and body, while they themselves could feast on life, devouring it alone, until they were too bloated for the mountains, and the darkness for the darkness.

This is the nature of their species.

One of them lived in the Shadow Mountains and in the valleys of Morgul, but since the Silver King's power was blazing, and the light overwhelmed the darkness, it left that evil place, and listened to a great voice, In this ancient fortress in the extreme north.Mixed with many of its kind.

But here the greed of the creature is too much to satisfy, and here there are no more elves or men to devour, only hapless half-orcs, and sometimes foolish trolls.But even they don't think those thick-skinned and thick-skinned fools are a delicacy.

Therefore, they are now lurking in their nests and have been hungry for a long time.They devour each other, give birth to new ones, and eat them again.

They were the offspring of Ugoliant, monsters in the form of spiders, like the ones Turka Arakano had once seen in the battle of Mystrond.

Long ago, as long as the First War of Light, Turka tried to go to the top of the high staircase and search for its traces.But sadly, it's not there.Or rather, it's gone.Therefore, in the long years, Turka never saw those evil creatures again.

But today, the voice in Turka's heart told him that the terrible creatures he had met had appeared.They are entrenched in the hell that Morgoth established in ancient times.

So the soldiers panicked, fear prevailed, and they stopped, even thinking that they had entered hell.

"Stop," said Turka, his eyes like two ambers, glowing in the black with a heart-pounding palpitation.It also seems to be the hope between light and darkness, "Everyone, step back, step back into the light, but don't run, because human beings can't abandon their dignity."

Many people are ashamed and ashamed, but they really dare not go forward.In the dark, their eyes cannot see, their hands and feet are weak, and they cannot resist the enemy's attack.

So, under the leadership of Harbalad, all Elpera soldiers withdrew from this ominous darkness.

But Orofenwe and the bravest of his people still followed the Dragonborn.Because even though their eyes can't see, their hearing is more sensitive.Moreover, the amber eyes of Turka and his two sons faintly glow even in the darkest places.

In addition, the fire under the golden hooves of Nahal also illuminated their way.

Therefore, these Teleri elves who returned from Aman followed Turka bravely and walked down with the faint light.

Hal Barad looked at the king and elf who had disappeared into the darkness, and bowed.Lead most of the soldiers and turn to other caves.

Galdo led the rest of the elves to guard here.

In fact, Turka and the others had only moved a few yards before they heard a myriad of voices in the darkness—a bubbling, gurgling noise, and a long hissing, hissing, snake-like Sounds—sounding astonishing and terrifying in the heavy silence.Orofenwe and his people turned sharply, but saw nothing.They froze, eyes wide, waiting for something to appear.

"I hear. It is an ancient demon. Its stomach has been eaten by hunger, like its creator. But I do not understand why they are here," said Orofenwe.The elves could hear the hiss and pant of their breath just ahead.But after a while, their senses became more insensitive, and their senses of touch and hearing seemed to be numb.

Turka's eyes lit up with a frightening light, and a brilliant dragon flame erupted.

"Fight!" he shouted. "The spider is coming."
