Dragonborn from Lord of the Rings

Chapter 213 Ungoliant

The sudden eruption of dragon flames illuminated the crypt, but there were countless eyes not far from the front of the tunnel. They were weird, deformed and disgusting eyes, hungry and thirsty, but with a clear purpose, full of frightening eyes. Rejoice, gloat.The long, slender, thorny feet rattled on the gravel and rock walls, and corrosive saliva flowed from the sharp mouthparts; the ugly abdomen had disgusting patterns.

They are the offspring of Ugoliant, the fallen demon god, and they were once found in the dark valley of Nan Dungorzeb at the foot of Ered Gorgoroth.But with the War of Wrath in the First Age, these sons of Ugoliant had disappeared for many years.There is no legend about how they escaped the collapse of the continent and came here.

After the offensive and defensive battle of Myslond, when Nahar returned to Middle Earth from Aman, he and Turka killed a group of similar monsters in the Dusk Hills.But compared to that time, the spiders in Utumno are even bigger.The smallest of them are the size of a calf, and the largest are even as large as a mammoth—

She has the ugliest and most terrifying form, even scarier than the horrors seen in nightmares.Even Shelob is not as terrifying as her: I saw this monster with huge horns, a short stem-like neck connected to a huge and bloated body, hanging between her two rows of legs like a huge inflatable bag , kept shaking.The entire body of this huge body is jet-black, dotted with iron-blue plaques, but the belly below is gray and glowing, emitting a foul stench.Her knobby legs were bent, with huge joints, even higher than her back. The hair on the legs stood out like steel spines, and each leg had claws at the end.

She is the messenger of Ugoliant, from the Dark Continent.It was a continent located in the southeast of Middle-Earth, and it was also the end of the world of Arda. The brilliance of the sun, moon and stars could not reach this place, so no matter day or night, it was shrouded in a suffocating darkness. So thick was the darkness that not even the most penetrating eyes of Manwe, Lord of Arda, could see through it.

The legendary demon god Ugoliant is entrenched here.

At the end of the Era of the Two Trees, he was wounded by Morgoth and his Balrogs, and fled to Nan Dungorseb, a dark valley under the Ered Gorgoroth Mountains, where he was a disaster for a long time.Later, he disappeared.Many wise men thought that he had ushered in the end a long time ago, because he was always hungry to the extreme and eventually devoured himself.

But in fact, He fled to the southern world long before the War of Wrath and hid here.until now.No one knows his ultimate purpose, and fate's records about him have long been lost in the long years.Many people speculate that Sauron's good form is bestowed by Him, and the fall of the blue-robed wizard is also very likely to be His handwriting (this has been doubted by later generations of scholars for a long time).

But He has been hiding behind the scenes, refusing to show his face.It wasn't until his messenger showed his whereabouts in the second light war that the western generals found out a little bit of information about him.

But even so, the disputes and exchanges between the two continents did not officially begin until after Noratu Arakano sailed the world for nearly 200 years.

At that time, the world has already changed.

I saw that with the appearance of Ugoliant's heirs, the air here began to be suffocating, and people could not feel its flow at all, and even the sound seemed to be frozen in it.If Mordor is the land of darkness, then here is darkness itself, a world woven of darkness.

"Meat! Fresh meat!"

"Fire, we hate Fire! Kill them! Eat them!"

Countless large spiders emerged from the darkness, hissing.Spit out black mist.Hunger and hatred for all living life made them fearless of the blazing dragon flames, surpassed their scorched and melted counterparts, and attacked Orofenwei them.The clattering of mouthparts and their hissing echoed through this horrible hell.

"Shield up," cried Orofenwe.

The elves formed a solid shield-shaped formation, and everyone gathered together. The spearman raised his sharp elf spear and poked it out from the gap in the shield.In this darkness, even the sharpest-eyed elf cannot shoot, even if you can hit the enemy as long as you let go of the string.

Orofenwe and his people used shields and spears to fight against the flood of spiders in the dark, holding their formation firmly.The muffled sound of metal piercing into the flesh, and the scream of the spider hissed one after another.

"Ah! They poked me! They poked me!" Ugoliant's emissary cunningly hid far away in the deepest part of the crypt, driving its heirs and mates madly to dare to enter this cave. Evil hell people attack.They are numerous.Almost the entire crypt is almost covered with them.

"Oss, Uinen, shelter the sailors of Swan Harbor! May they see El Torresia at last!" It is said that when Orofenwe saw an elf being dragged into the darkness by a tide of spiders, he could not help call out.

But this place was the base camp of Morgoth when his power was at its peak. Even though he had passed away for three epochs, the earth and rocks soaked by his evil power still retained the power to suppress the light. The two most loved and trusted teleri elves The power of the Lord of Coasts and Isles cannot reach this place.They did not answer the call of the Elves—Osi and Uni were subjects of Ulmo, who ruled the seas and rivers of Middle-earth.

Then Orofenwe called upon the name of Auli again, and begged the Artisan of the mountains and the earth to bless them.Let the brave Teleri finally escape from this dire situation.

But though Aulie also loved the Firstborn, he had always preferred the Noldor who dwelt in the plains and the mountains to the sailors who lived by the sea.Feano even personally learned knowledge about metals and gems from him and his subordinates.Regarding the request of the Valar to Feanor to hand over the Silmaril containing the light of Telperian and Laurelin to save the two holy trees killed by Morgoth and Ugoliant, he also proposed a more moderate one. Opinion, he said: "Don't be impatient, what we ask is more important than a wise man understands. Let him think quietly."

It's a pity that in the end, fate made Feano choose to refuse.

Now, facing Orofenwe's prayer, Aoli hesitated.For he was not sure if this was the fate of the elves.His mind has always been on creating and studying things on the earth, and he doesn't want to pay too much attention to even dwarves.Regarding the fate of the elves, he couldn't see clearly.So he came to the peak of Tanikatiel, met Manwë, king of Arda, and told him about the war that had taken place in Middle-earth.

Manwë pondered for a moment, and then said: "Have I not commanded that the Eldar should go or stay as they choose? But if the Noldor must accept their fate, how can the sailors be exempted?"

But at the same time, the Great King also said: "But we should not forget that the Mighty Ones have the responsibility to govern this land. If I said that I was unable to detect the crimes committed by Melkor, now, about the last battle The cause and effect have fallen into my eyes."

Aoli heard that the fragments in the grand movement that he couldn't see clearly were also slowly unfolding in his heart.The fate of the elves also fell into his eyes.He has a decision.He answered Orofenwe's prayer.

The weapons in the hands of the elves shone brightly in the dark hell, because when the elves forged these swords, they used his knowledge.

Seeing the light of hope shining in Morgoth's lair, Orofenwe was overjoyed, for he knew that the great God of Craftsman had answered his prayer, and courage returned to his body and mind.

"Praise Aūlēz!"——Aūlēz, the Valar language, is the god name of Aoli.

He shouted, and his people fought hard to push away the flood of spiders, wielding swords and spears, and killed them all under the land that was plagued by the evil power of Morgoth.

on the other side.

Compared with the distress of the elves, Turka and his two sons, as well as Nahal, have more spare power.For their eyes could see through the black mists of the children of Ugoliant; and their strength was greater than that of the Elves.Even though the dragon flames they spewed out and the light of Valinor on their bodies couldn't shine for longer or farther, they still dealt huge damage to these disgusting big spiders.

Turka held the spear of Aeglos in his right hand, and the sword Calasia in his left hand. A metal storm rolled up in the dark cave. two.Countless corpses and sprayed pus covered the ground.

His two sons, Aratu and Noratu, have always stood by their father.Even in the darkest place, Ringier's sword is as cold as moonlight, just like its master, Noratu, who is fearlessly rushing to the front. He inherited his father's bravery, and is the most skilled of the twins. The superb one, I saw him with a shield in his left hand and a long sword in his right hand, killing one after another terrifying monsters.As brave as Tokas descends.

Aratu, on the other hand, nimbly and swiftly followed behind his brother and father, calmly adding to the positions of his brother and father, while breathing out the dragon flames, and together with Nahal, he protected his brother and father. flanks and rear.

The corpses that fell at the feet of the three of them, father and son, and Nahal almost formed a hill.

While Turka was brandishing his sword and spear, seeing their heroic figures fighting, the old father's gratification inevitably surged in his heart.

"Look. My love, our children have grown up, they don't need our protection anymore. They will hold up a new era."

The distant Aman continent.Hall of Mandos.

The daughter of Eros and Erewen shed a crystal tear.Even though Fenna Silier has left Central Continent, her heart will always be with the one she loves.

Galdor heard the roar of kings and princes, and some rustling.The flames flashed in the darkness, and countless large spiders surged out of the darkness, and rushed towards the soldiers and elves of the Elpera kingdom led by Galdo who was guarding the entrance of the spider crypt.

"Elberis!"

The commander of the kingdom shouted and led the elves to fight with the tide-like spider monsters.

Human beings remembered the words of the king: Do not run.Thinking this way, they summoned up their courage and defended their dignity with swords, shields and spears.

As time passed, Turka and the enemies in front of them in the crypt finally began to be timid, and fear re-occupied their hungry hearts.So these terrible big spiders began to hesitate and backed away.

Orofenwe pushed away a bison-shaped spider monster, panting, and felt the joy of fighting and the joy of defeating death for the first time.

I saw that the entire cavern was filled with a disgusting stench and some kind of burnt aroma, which was nauseating and disgusting.And Turka and his two sons stood proudly not far from them, with piles of corpses piled up in front of them, and some places were even still burning with flames.

The fire dispelled the darkness in this ancient hell.

"Mirkul Boglier's power is fading." Nahal raised his huge golden horseshoe, trampled to death a spider monster that was trying to escape, and said, "His evil cannot penetrate from outside Yiya, here its darkness will not last long."

"And the eyes of the Great King and the Creator of the Mountain are watching here."

"Praise be to Aūlēz!" shouted Orofenwe and his kin.Ah, this is the roar of the light.It is the praise of victory.The voice of hope echoed in the palace of Morgoth, causing cheers like landslides and tsunamis.

Galdor emerged from the sea of ​​corpses and blood, and let out a cry of victory.

The soldiers and elves of the Kingdom of Elpera raised their swords and echoed loudly.

Finally, the messenger of Ugoliant could no longer hide, and she emerged from the darkness.While spewing a darker black mist, while driving away the remaining spider monsters, launched the final attack.

behold.What an evil form that was.The black and white markings on the bloated body exude an evil aura, the mouthparts are full of sharp teeth like daggers, and the eight thin legs like iron rods move at an astonishing speed, sometimes running with rattling legs and feet , sometimes with a sudden jump.Fast and nimble.Even Nahal couldn't help feeling scared.Orofenwe and his people were filled with despair.

No one knows how she came to Middle-earth, whether by ship, or whether her terrible master used his power to send her there.But one thing is certain, if the Central Continent coalition led by Turka hadn't hit Utumno, maybe she might not have shown her whereabouts.Shelob can't even compare to her.

Shelob looked at Ugoliant's envoy in awe, hiding in the shadow of her huge body insidiously, crawled over the steep rock wall, spit out thin and strong white silk, and bound an elf.

Orofenwe found her, and immediately shot an arrow, which broke the spider's thread.The scary female spider immediately fell from the rock face.

The elves wrestled with Shelob.This monster's body was as hard as steel, and black mist and white silk spit out from its mouth from time to time. Even the high elves had to spend a lot of effort to defeat her.

"Hiss."

Shelob fell into a pool of blood, and those eyes filled with hatred and greed gradually closed.Orofenwe drew the sword from her belly.

　Happy Lantern Festival!
