The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 136 The Sudden War

The black tower of Mordor, where evil hides deep.

Since Sauron ruled Mordor again, Barad-dur, located at the end of the long slope of the Ash Mountains, began to rebuild under the order of the Dark Lord. In the end, it was Barad-dur's adjutant, Sauron, who presided over this work. Long's mouth.

This dark Númenórean, through inhumane oppression, drove Snaga and captured human slaves to build the Tower of Evil within two years. Sauron was very satisfied with the work of this subordinate, From time to time, it turns into a cloud of black smoke, monitoring the progress of the reconstruction work in the sky near Barad-dur.

What puzzled Sauron's mouth was that his master hadn't shown up for a long time. About half a year ago, Lord Demon Lord, who turned into a cloud of black smoke, uttered a mournful cry in midair without warning. screamed, and then plunged into the tower of Barad-dur, which has not yet been built.

If it wasn't for the mouth of Sauron who could perceive his master and watched him from the depths of his soul, and those eerie Nazgul were also wandering around the tower of Baladur to guard him, he would have thought that his Lord Demon Lord An unexpected event had already happened, after all, that scream shocked all creatures within a few miles of Barad-dur.

At this time, the mouth of Sauron, who sensed that his master was still alive, was still conscientiously completing his task, and Sauron, who had been silent for half a year, finally launched his own mission at the top of the Tower of Barad-dur. Big eyes, but the big eyes are just a gap, marking that the owner of Barad-dur has not fully recovered.

In fact, half a year ago, when Hamur got out of control, the dark lord sensed the situation of his servants. There was a place where the Ringwraiths and the Ringwraiths could see each other, let alone their Master, in fact, Sauron can not only perceive the condition of the human rings, but as long as his strength recovers to a certain level, he can even perceive the position of the Seven Rings of the Dwarves. Otherwise, his minions would not be in the vast Rovanian, Accurately traced the location of Thranin II, and safely took back the Ring of Thror.

In Sauron's view, if Hamur was still killed by Allen with the blessing of the ring, then it is not a pity to die. If possible, he would prefer to let the newly rising dragon slayer be his subordinate, so After the battle, relying on his own little recovered power, he used the spell left on Allen by the Mogul Blade, and then traveled through the Netherworld, hoping to find Allen's soul and control it.

If an ordinary enemy is injured by Mogul, he will soon be eroded by the injury and gradually reduced to a ghost-like existence. After all, Allen is not an ordinary person. During the struggle, he never fell into a disadvantage, which greatly increased the difficulty for Sauron to accurately find Alan's soul through the Netherworld.

When Sauron exhausted a lot of power and finally found Allen's soul and was about to exert control, the Dark Lord was taught a lesson by the simulator and the power left by Varda. It was because of Sauron's mouth that he heard his master's shrill cry, but even though Sauron suffered heavy injuries, he still did not give up, so he plunged into the Tower of Barad-dur, using the remaining The soul power in the foundation of the Tower of Evil launched a second wave of temptations, but at that time Alan's body had already won the battle against Morgul's wounds, and the soul naturally got rid of the attraction of the Netherworld and returned to normal.

Sauron, who fell short of success, had to fall into a deep sleep in resentment, which lasted half a year, and even if he woke up, his strength was very weak, even worse than when he was driven out of Dol Guldur by Madam Galadriel.

At this moment, if he wants to speed up the recovery of strength, then the construction of Do Guldur is very important.

At this time, Sauron's Mouth also heard the voice of its master in his mind, asking in an extremely anxious tone when Barad-dur could be completely built.

In two years, under the auspices of Sauron's Mouth, the main body of Barad-dur has almost been built, and the remaining details still require a lot of manpower and material resources to complete. Human slaves have already consumed a lot in this process. There are many, and some building materials with power are needed to complete the details, which can only be obtained through trading with other forces or plundering, which cannot be completed in a short time.

After Sauron learned of this situation, he didn't blame his special envoy. From the name of Sauron's Mouth, it can be seen how much the Dark Lord liked the Númenóreans who had fallen into darkness.

Not long after, the eight Nazgul who had been guarding the vicinity of Barad-dur before rode away on their own fierce beasts. Some of them flew to the camp where Uruk was, and some to Hara Looking at this scene, Sauron immediately guessed his master's thoughts. He knew that the peace between Mordor and Gondor, which had been barely maintained for a period of time, had been broken at this moment. Small fights will also become fierce because of the needs of their own masters.

In fact, Alan had guessed this scene long ago, but he concluded that Sauron would not be able to bear the loneliness after returning to Mordor, so he took action against his own greatest enemy in the south, the Kingdom of Gondor.

At this moment, Allen did not expect that the war between these two major forces came ahead of schedule, and he had a part in it. In fact, in the original track, when Turgon, Prime Minister of Gondor, was regent of the Kingdom of Gondor, the border was actually It was still calm, and nothing major happened. It was not until his son Exelian became the prime minister that a full-scale battle broke out between Gondor and Mordor.

At this moment, due to Mordor's desire for slaves and wealth, leading to the important territory of Gondor, Ithilien in the north and south sent urgent help to Minas Tirith, and because of Sauron's magic, Mount Doom is also in the near future. There was a violent sound, and the smoke and dust that erupted formed a huge cloud in the sky. Even if you just look at this dark and dense cloud with the naked eye, you can know that it contains incomparable evil power, and the sunshine that protects the people is also Covered by it, especially North Ithilien, due to the distance, the cloud arrived here earlier, which made the half-orcs rampage in this area even more recklessly.

For a time, the people of Gondor who lived here suffered huge casualties, blood soaked the fertile land, and the humans who were lucky enough not to die in the first round of attacks were also strangled by ropes under the despotic power of the half-orcs. Arose and became chains of slaves transported to Mordor.

And those Gondor nobles who have been fighting against the half-orcs all year round also threw away their helmets and armor amidst the fearful cries of the Ringwraiths, had to give up their family property, and led their soldiers and leaders to hide in Kael'an. Delos barely resisted the attack of the orcs here.

At this time, Turgon, who was over ninety years old, had to urgently summon all the members of the Council of Gondor under such a critical situation to discuss how to deal with the possible large-scale invasion of Mordor in the near future and serve Gondor. The wise men of the royal family and the powerful lords in the country either arrived in person or sent envoys who could represent themselves, and arrived in Minas Tirith as quickly as possible.

After a short but intense discussion, the vast majority of the members of the council decided to temporarily abandon Ithilien, not only the northern Ithilien, which has begun to be ravaged by half-orcs, but even the southern Ithilien. Give up all of them, because preparations for war take time, and mobilizing soldiers requires full preparation. It is impossible for Minas Tirith's own army to cross the Anduin River and deal with the enemy with superior terrain.

But if it's just for defense, Minas Tirith's troops are still relatively abundant. They only need to guard the west of Kael Andros and Osgiliath, and they can protect the vast plain behind them and the kingdom of Gondor. The capital city, and Pelakir has always been an important port of the kingdom, and it has sufficient troops to resist the enemy's attack in a short period of time.

In this way, the people living in Ithilien can hide in a safe area, and it can also buy time for other lords of the Kingdom of Gondor to gather their troops.

The helpless Prime Minister of Gondor accepted the parliament's suggestion, and at the same time adopted another suggestion from the parliament, which was to light the beacon and send envoys to win the support of the Kingdom of Rohan, so that his allies could fulfill their obligations in times of crisis. Covenant maintained for hundreds of years.

Not to mention the Kingdom of Gondor, which was preparing for war, the burden of delivering the letter naturally fell on Sengar, who had just married. The safety of the Duo Kingdom, even though he was extremely reluctant in his heart, he still resolutely accepted this mission, took his new wife, accompanied by Kress and his party, and embarked on the journey back to Edoras. journey of.

In fact, Senger's father, Finger, was in a very bad state at this time. Even though the king of Rohan was over 70 years old, he still enjoyed wine and meat, which naturally resulted in his abnormally fat body. , and obesity also made this old man suffer from a whole body of diseases. If Alan saw his friend's father, words such as hyperlipidemia, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, etc. would definitely flash in his mind. You know These diseases are all terminally ill in this era. If it weren't for Eorl's excellent bloodline, this old man might have gone to see his ancestors long ago.

Even though he was still able to eat and drink at the dining table, Finger's mental state had already deteriorated to a certain extent. Every time after a full meal, he would definitely feel sleepy and had to sleep in the bedroom. His mind didn't feel sober either, but he would be in a daze for a long time before he could return to normal. If someone disturbed him at this time, he would definitely face the wrath of King Rohan.

And when Sengel returned to the Golden Palace, his father had just fallen into a deep sleep because of a full meal. As the king's first and only heir, it was naturally impossible for the imperial guards guarding the Golden Palace to stop his family's attack. The prince went home, but Senger still did not enter his father's bedroom, but waited quietly in the hall for his father to wake up, which is the basic quality of being a child.

After Finger woke up, the guards notified their king as soon as possible. After learning that his son had returned, Finger was extremely happy. In any case, Senger was his only son. The return of the wanderer naturally made him, as a father, very happy.

But this happy mood only lasted for a few minutes. After the excited Finger walked out of the bedroom, he saw Mo Wen standing next to his son. After learning that this Gondor woman was actually his son After his wife, Finger's mood fell to the bottom in an instant.

His own son didn't even notify himself as a father about his son's marriage. This is not a result that most people can accept. However, Sengar's next words made Fengel even more angry. He flatly rejected Gondor's request for help. Ju also has his own reasons. His eldest brother and second brother died in the war with the Haradians precisely because they went to support Gondor. For this, he has always had a deep prejudice against Gondor. Fears that you don't even want to face.

Seeing that his father refused to fulfill the vow that had lasted for hundreds of years, Senger naturally could not accept this result, and then the two broke out in a fierce quarrel in the hall, while his wife Mo Wen was in the middle of the quarrel between the father and son. In the sound, he quietly left the hall and closed the wooden door of the hall, so that the voices of the father and son were isolated in the hall.

As Sengel's wife, she did not want their quarrel to be seen or heard by others, which would damage the majesty of the royal family.

"Stop talking nonsense. As long as I am still king, Rohan will not send a man or a horse to Gondor. If you want to fulfill the oath of your ancestors, that's fine. After I die, as King Rohan You can do whatever you want, but now, I said, no!! If you can’t accept it, then you can leave!!”

Finger loudly made the final decision on the debate, and after he finished speaking, he panted heavily to relieve the dizziness brought to his brain by anger and lack of oxygen.

"you"

Sengar was charged with the mission of Turgon, so it was naturally impossible for him to go back disheartened just because of some words. Father.

At this time, the old man who was frowning and staring before him suddenly sat on the ground slumped, the expression on his face seemed to be twitching uncontrollably, the corner of his mouth was still drooling, and he kept making noises of unknown meaning.

In this scene, Senger fell into confusion for a short time. Then, he squatted down and stroked his father's back constantly, hoping to relieve the pain of the old man in front of him. At the same time, he shouted: "Come on, come on."

The imperial guards who were originally guarding the gate pushed open the gate in front of them the moment they heard the shout, and came to their king's side. Afterwards, according to Sengel's instructions, several people together drove the huge Fenge Er moved to the table so that he could have a better environment to rest.

The doctor who served the royal family arrived at the Golden Palace soon after being summoned by the imperial guards, and his diagnosis naturally cleared the suspicion of Senger. After all, when the king was sick, he was the only one by his side. Man, it's hard not to let people make all kinds of guesses.

Although a definite diagnosis was made, the doctor told Sengel that he could not cure the king's disease because he was too old and his body was very unhealthy due to overeating, and he did not have enough ability cure such diseases.

Sengel knew that his father's health was not good, but he also vaguely guessed that this quarrel must be the cause of all this. Regarding this, Sengel, who felt guilty, let go of his prejudice against his father and served with his wife. Looking at Finger, who collapsed on the bed, at the same time, he said nothing about supporting Gondor, lest such a topic would irritate the already seriously ill King of Rohan.

Finger, who was troubled by the disease, could not speak clearly, but his ears and eyes were still functioning well. His son and daughter-in-law served them wholeheartedly before the bed, and the king, who was terrified in his heart, regained his calm and began to Thinking about the series of arrangements after his death, no matter how bad his character is, he is the king of the Kingdom of Rohan, and he still possesses some basic common sense and political awareness.

Kress, who accompanied Sengel to Edoras, after learning everything, felt that as Ellen's envoy, he represented the attitude of the Rovanian Kingdom. No matter what the reason, Kress should Going to visit the seriously ill King Rohan, Grim, who came with her at the same time, knows some magic to help others, so after she communicated with Sengar, she hoped that Grim would try it. At the same time, she also asked Sengel recommended Allen's personal doctor, James.

Sengel, who had lived in Wilderness Town for a period of time, had naturally heard of James' name in the tavern, but a moment of panic made him forget about this famous doctor with great reputation in Wilderness Town.

Soon, Grim's magic had a certain effect on Finger. Although the king still couldn't control his body and speak clearly, the expression on his face was no longer so painful, and he was able to move smoothly. I drank some porridge and fell asleep peacefully.

Afterwards, under Sengel's watchful eye, Kress embarked on the road back to Wilderness Town. Except for the original team, Sengel used his rights as the only heir to send an Iored to escort them, and at the same time I also hope that James can be successfully invited to Edoras to diagnose the disease for his father.

And Alan, who has returned to Wilderness Town for a while now, naturally it is impossible to know that such a series of things have happened in Middle-earth so quickly. At this moment, besides arranging his own affairs, he is waiting for Saruman's promise of "Aye". Randyll Star" delivered.
