Dragonborn from Lord of the Rings

Chapter 38

It is indeed very stressful to witness the tall city walls and the magnificent main body of the city of Annuminas up close.

In particular, the majestic round tower in the center of the city - the Room of Elendil, seems to be pressed down at any time, giving people a very heavy sense of oppression.

This is also one of the reasons why Thorin Oakenshield has been reluctant to attack the city.

The elves and dwarves lack sufficient siege equipment, and the loss of the storm is too staggering, neither the dwarves nor the elves can bear it.

Looking at the huge city in front of him, even Dragon Bourne couldn't help but said to Thorin: "There is no need to attack immediately, just wait for news from Arathorn, if they succeed, it will greatly reduce our losses .”

Sorin nodded in agreement.

He had never wanted to waste his limited troops here, not to mention the high city wall, the arrows of the half-orcs above were enough to make his heart skip a beat.

"Stop!"

shouted the dwarf prince.Then the dwarves stopped immediately within a stone's throw of Annuminas.

The elves behind also stopped naturally.

The momentum of the coalition forces is so amazing.

The dwarves were heavy, and the elves were calm. Even though they hadn't done anything, the chill atmosphere pervaded the city of Annuminas.

On the city wall, Grimas trembled as he looked at the tall figure riding on a holy spirit that made all the orcs tremble.

He recognized the terrifying figure, it was the silver monster, the bloodthirsty demon that was under the gate of Myslond that day.

Thinking of the tragic death of countless northern people of the same race under that terrible hammer
The owner of the steeple screamed inwardly, his body trembled, and he almost fainted.

However, Grimas finally thought that it was their turn to hide behind the high walls this time, and the pointy-eared elves and dwarf dregs would have to break through its city if they wanted to hurt poor Grimas.The timid and cunning half-orc calmed down a little.

he shouted.

"Go back to your posts, you foolish slobs. Take your bows, take your bows, we're safe behind the white wall, out of dwarf scum and pointy ears! If they If you dare to approach, we will shoot them to death! I said, take your bow and arrow!"

Kicking and kicking, the ferocious and cowardly orc drove his fellow orcs to the firing positions of the city wall, forcing them to raise their short crossbows.

In fact, neither Thorin Oakenshield nor Dragon Bourne intended to attack.

The leaders of the allied forces looked at the tall city walls of Annuminas and the thick city gates at first glance. After exchanging glances with each other, the wizard Gandalf rode the big horse alone, carrying his Staff, walked to a place less than 100 steps away from the city wall.

"Servants of the Dark Lord, I am negotiating with you on behalf of the light camp. Please come out and see the acting city lord of this city."

The gray-robed wizard watched the orcs in the dark shadows on the city wall vigilantly, while carefully observing the city built by Elendil.

The ancient Númenóreans learned much from the Elves.

The walls of Anuminas are clearly made of elven magic.Not only is it tall and majestic, but the white boulder wall faintly emits a faint light under the sunlight of the morning sun.

Coupled with the majestic multi-layer structure of the city.

I gotta say.

The dwarf prince's worries were not trivial.

In the absence of a better solution, if the elves and dwarves take a strong attack, the loss must be very large.

The gray wizard should be thankful that the people of Dúnedain headed by Arathorn still remember the secrets of their ancestors, otherwise his plan to restore this magnificent city is just a joke.

In addition, Anuminas has been abandoned for thousands of years, and the great light of the Eldar cannot last such a long time without being taken care of.

The elven magic on the giant wall is already very weak, so weak that it is about to disappear.

Thoughts turned sharply in his mind, but the gray-robed wizard didn't move at all on the surface.

Just hear our spire master screaming from behind the walls: "Wizard, I know you. Grimas will not go out and negotiate with the wizard. You will cast spells to confuse our minds and turn us into your servants!" Ha! Grimas isn't one of those idiots and idiots, the lord of the steeple knows what a wizard can do, I won't fall for you! If you and your pointy-eared elves and dwarf scum feel capable of taking my city , then just let the horse come over, Grimas's bow and arrow are not easy to mess with, it will definitely make the dwarf scum and the stinky elves with pointed ears eat a good pot."

But in fact it has been fooled by the wizard.

Because the so-called negotiation of the coalition forces is just to delay time, to buy precious time for Fenna and Arazon's side division team.

So the gray-robed wizard shouted deliberately: "Which idiot are you? Standing under the city wall is the gray-robed wizard Gandalf representing the army of the northern elves and Turin dwarves. I need to talk to the emissary of the city lord! Not a leader A despicable coward who dare not take risks!"

Grimas was really fooled.

The owner of the steeple paced up and down behind the tall city wall in embarrassment.Not only was there anger at being looked down upon by the other big shot, but at the same time I felt excited that I could finally have an equal dialogue with such a big shot.

It poked out a small head carefully, and shouted at the wizard under the city wall proudly and frightened.

"Grimas is no longer that despicable, pitiful one-eyed half-orc. Grimas is the majestic leader of a party! He is qualified to negotiate with wizards."

Gandalf chewed on this strange name, but couldn't remember that there was a character named Grimas in the blood of the orcs.

Dragon Bourne and Thorin Oakenshield were a little bored, and watched anxiously as the wizard teased the half-orc who thought he was smart on the city wall.

"Can't we just kill him?"

The dwarf prince glanced at the elf marksmen behind him, and said impatiently, "Elves can do such things."

Dragon Bourne looked at the sky and said, let's bear with it.

If the half-orc leader was shot, it would cause some confusion.But Gandalf was within range of them, and it didn't feel good to do that.

In addition, Middle-earth still retains a certain feudal spirit.

When the two armies are at war, not killing incoming envoys is one of the rules basically followed by all races on the Zhongzhou mainland.

Even the sinister, cunning, and unfaithful Dark Lord Sauron is willing to abide by this law under certain conditions.

So, in the end, Thorin was just talking, and didn't really let the elf shoot the disgusting orc.

So everyone could only watch helplessly as the sorcerer and Grimas on the city wall were arguing.

at the same time.

Fenna and Arazon had also circled to the side of Anuminas that adjoins Lake Nenvio.

Looking at the pier that has been mostly submerged in the lake.

Fenner said, "Is this the place?"

Arazon nodded.

This place was originally one of the largest ports of the Kingdom of Arno at Lake Nengweiao.In ancient times, the Númenoreans fished and traded here and prospered for a time.

But since the calamity of the golden iris swamp, Isildur was betrayed by the Lord of the Rings, and died tragically in the icy water of the Yin River, the descendants of Elendil have been declining day by day.

In the end, the northern humans completely abandoned this magnificent ancient city.Relocated to Fornoster in North Hills.

There was a gleam of light in Arazon's sharp eyes, which was the remembrance and mourning of the great achievements of the ancestors.He said.

"Nowadays, not many people remember this pier, and the latest records about Annuminas date back to more than 2000 years ago. It is reasonable for half-orcs to not know about this 'secret passage'."

"The people of Dúnedain also know this secret way from the legends and documents passed down orally since ancient times, and it just comes in handy now."

Thinking that the humans in front of her were descendants of Western humans, Fenner accepted his explanation.

So, under the leadership of human rangers, the elves carefully passed Nengwei'ao Lake and entered the wharf area where no one was guarding.

After tidying up roughly, Fenner closed her eyes and listened quietly.

After a while, she opened her eyes: "I can feel that most of the evil breath is gathered in the southeast."

She points in one direction.

"The flowing wind tells me that the coalition forces have arrived at the main gate of Annuminas. The elves and dwarves are confronting these corrupted guys, and the battle may break out at any time."

Arathorn looked around the surrounding environment, compared with the legends and even the previous information of the rangers, and finally said: "Come with me, I already know which city the half-orcs are in, we can make a detour and catch them off guard. "

Therefore, the elves led by Fenna, led by fifteen Dúnedain, divided into several small groups, and ran towards various key places in the city quietly but swiftly.

Among them, when the team of Fenner and Arazon turned around the abandoned garden area, the elves decisively saw a sentry on guard on a ten-meter-high sentry tower.

More than 100 meters to the left of the sentry post, there is also a half-orc patrol patrolling around.

In addition, two half-orcs with fierce eyes and spears stood in front of a warehouse-like building, looking around vigilantly.

Finner made a gesture.

Immediately an elf ranger drew his longbow.

shuttle.

After the inaudible bowstring sound, the half-orc on the tower whistle was decisively missed by an arrow at the throat.

Immediately afterwards, the elves walked nimbly and silently clung to the shadow of the corner, sneaked to the warehouse guarded by orcs, and eliminated the patrolling team in a few strokes.

and the two guards.

An elf pushed open the door and poked his head in.

Then quickly retracted.

"This should be their arsenal and food storage area. It is full of smelly dried fish and bread. There are also some weapons that should not be forged by half-orcs. They are more like human equipment. They seem to be made by From which tomb was dug out, the breath of the dead above is still strong."

Arathon immediately walked in.

After a while, he came out angrily.

In his hand was a long sword that was still shining brightly and had a cold light even after years.

Some kind of rune was engraved on the body of the sword, and under the sunlight, the blade was like autumn water.On the hilt is the emblem of the royal family of Arnaud.

"They dug up the tombs of the former kings. These weapons and equipment are all attached to the royal family symbols, and they are the funeral objects of ancient kings."
