The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 171 On the Road
There are two routes from Lothlórien to Rohan, one is west of the Antonin.

To walk along the Celebrant Plain, after crossing the Limqing River, you will enter the territory of Rohan.

There, you should be able to clearly see the Fangorn Forest where the Treants live.

Judging from the current situation, this road will be safer, because the orc army has appeared in the Black Forest.

No one knows how many enemies have fled from the black gate, lurking and ambush in that desolate, dry and desolate brown land.

The other way, of course, is to go to the Shuanghetao of the Brown Land, cross the Antonin River from several shallows there, and enter the grassland of Rohan, but this is very dangerous.

However, after discussing with everyone, Allen still chose this more dangerous path.

Because after all, they are not a small team, but thousands of fully armed cavalry, plus even more horses.

Whether it is building a bridge or using Lorien's ships, it will take a very long time to transport such a huge army across the river.
This is a bit impractical for everyone who needs to hurry up.

In the end, thousands of cavalry, led by their respective leaders, left the beautiful Lothlórien and marched towards Rohan.

a few days later.

Allen, who was walking on the road, had been talking to Estelle, while Kress was like a quail, riding her sapphire beside him without saying a word.

The big bear that Grim transformed into was closely following the team. As long as he restrained his breath, the horses could still get along with him peacefully.

Further behind the team were Malhebi, Barron, Alan's personal guards and hundreds of heavy cavalry, as well as the Dunedan managed by Abinas.

Gail will definitely not be able to come back. After Allen ordered him to deliver the letter, he stayed in Wilderness Town to help Jamila deal with some matters. The way back was still very dangerous.

As for why Kress didn't return to Wilderness Town with Barron, that was something that made Allen very entangled.

Allen also knew that as a king, he didn't say a word, but if he said it, he should be able to carry it out smoothly.

Otherwise, where is the majesty of the king?How can the royal family's credit be guaranteed?

However, sometimes, the majesty of the king will always be delayed by one reason or another.

In addition to Grim's pleading with Allen, Kress also took the initiative to admit his mistake, and argued carefully that he and Grim could be considered to have discovered the enemy's traces and saw through an enemy's surprise attack in advance. It can be regarded as some contribution.

Of course Allen knew this, but he wouldn't let Kress stay because of this.

Even if the result is good, but the process is too dangerous, this is just sophistry.

However, Allen finally compromised, because Kress reminded him that on the way to Gondor, the troops might need the help of Kress's little animals.

After all, the enemy already knew the whereabouts of this team and made corresponding arrangements.

Therefore, the detection range and detection efficiency of the animals are very important to Allen at this time, but if they stay, they stay. Allen asked Kress not to leave within five meters of him.

Even if he was sleeping, he had to sleep in the tent next to him. If there was another problem, he would punish Grimm, who made this young skin-changer plead for mercy.

In fact, Kress's critters quickly came to Ellen's favor.

During the journey from Rose Lorien to Brownfield, there were countless wolf cavalry squads chasing after Allen and the others.

When Alan learned of this information, he immediately led the guards around him, and quickly attacked and killed them all.

Under such terrain, these dirty guys couldn't outrun Alan's elf horse, and the lightning and arrows that arrived instantly.

But the current situation also let Allen know that the Nazgul stationed in Dol Guldur did not give up blocking his team going south to support, which made him feel a little uneasy.

And the young and brave Estel also volunteered several times to follow Allen to drive out the enemy, but was stopped by Abinas and rejected by Allen every time.

However, the young patriarch was not angry about this, but asked Allen humbly why the elves of Lothlórien didn't occupy Dol Guldur in the Black Forest. As long as they occupied there, they no longer needed to worry about the enemy returning to the Black Forest.

In fact, there is no explanation for this matter in Alan's memory, but he also has some guesses of his own, and based on the situation of the Tower of Barad-dur, Alan thinks that his guess is probably correct.

"In fact, when our enemy built Dol Guldur, he spent a very long time and energy. He has been lurking there for at least a thousand years. During this process, the enemy must have some kind of us In an unknown way, the evil is permanently left in Amon Lanke, sheltering the eerie fortress that stands on it, Dol Guldur."

Speaking of which, Allen looked at the Black Forest behind him from a distance, and continued to say:
"It's been in darkness all year round. Not even sunlight can dispel the evil magic that shelters there. Whether we humans or elves, even dwarves with tough bodies can't live there for a long time. Not only that, after the enemy recovers At the same time, the evil there will become stronger and pollute the surrounding forests, unless one day we can truly defeat the great enemy entrenched in Mordor, we will never be able to truly purify the Great Green Forest polluted by evil.”

Hearing this, Estel had a hint of understanding on his face. It's not like he hasn't asked the elf about these questions, but the elf's answers are always vague and specious.

It is far less clear and easy to understand than Alan's explanation to the young chief Dunedan.

But he still had a problem.

"Even the lady of the Golden Forest? She's so powerful."

After Alan heard it, he smiled and shook his head, and continued to answer: "The beautiful Lady Galadriel is indeed very powerful, but there is a certain level of gap between her power and the evil of the enemy, if you have to To use an analogy, it is like the blessed Númenóreans, who are so different from ordinary humans, Estel, you have to remember, never underestimate our enemy, no matter how careful you are when facing him Not too much."

After hearing Alan's explanation, Estel or Aragorn lowered his handsome face and fell into deep thought.

At this time, he has already known his identity in advance, and at the same time, he has also understood the thorns and bumps on the road ahead.

The young Aragorn did not have the slightest timidity about this, but the strength of the enemy and the difficulties on the road still made the young patriarch a little confused.

And the experienced Allen saw some clues from Aragorn's face, and felt a little bit emotional about this young man in his heart.

The difficulties you can see now are still good. When you grow up a bit, you may still have the pain of not being loved, waiting for you to experience it on the way forward.

Emotions belong to emotion, enlightenment still needs to be enlightened.

He smiled and pointed to the sky with his whip and said: "Estel, the strength of the enemy is nothing at this time. I don't know if you have heard of the name "Star of Eärendil". It should be able to understand that compared with the evils faced by people in ancient times, we are still lucky at this time, at least there are still some ways to defeat the enemy."

"What method?" Aragorn's inquiry was a little hasty, and it was obvious that his patience had not been tempered by time.

"There are some things that cannot be talked about in such an open place. Who knows if our enemy is watching us? But there is a story, I can share a little bit with you."

As he spoke, Allen picked out some stories about the Silmarillion's arrival in Middle-earth and told Aragorn.

In Alan's opinion, this part of the content can be told, because whether it is the story of Beren and Lucien, or the Elf Silmarillion worn by Erendil, it has been written in a book somewhere in Middle-earth. recorded.

Even if Alan didn't tell these stories today, Aragorn would have learned this knowledge elsewhere.

At the same time, together with Bilbo Baggins, he will write a poem for his ancestor Erendil in the future.

Of course, Alan will not tell what happened in Valinor, because those things about the gods, from a human mouth, are really shocking.

But Allen was just telling a story, and he didn't remember any of those beautiful and moving poems. At the end of the story, Allen told Aragorn.

"Among these stories, there is a powerful item, that is the treasure of the royal family of the Noldor, the Silmarillion. Those three precious gems have blessings that can restrain any darkness, and contain the light of life. If one can be found, As long as it is used well, it is enough to deal with our great enemy."

"Then why...?" Before the question was finished, Aragorn knew that he had said something extremely stupid. If it was really so easy to get, then the Silmarillion would not have been able to be used in the story.

"You want to ask why no one is looking for it?" Allen smiled softly when he heard it.

After the smile disappeared, Allen answered Aragorn's question very seriously.

"Those three Silmarils have long since found a long-lasting home: one is high above the firmament, and is worn on the forehead of Eärendil; the other is at the bottom of the deep waters, guarded by countless deep-sea creatures; There is also one in the flames at the core of the world, I think no creature in Middle Earth can withstand the high temperature there, including the Balrog hidden deep in Moria."

When Allen said this, he thought for a while.

"I tell you these things that happened in ancient times, hoping that you can experience the spirit of maintaining hope in the midst of suffering from the stories, and firmly believe that after our fearless and arduous struggle, the enemy will eventually die and the light will surely will shine on the earth."

After finishing speaking, Allen had no desire to continue talking. Aragorn was only fifteen or sixteen years old at this time. Even though he was gifted and noble, he was still just a child after all.

No matter how much he said, it was better to let him figure it out by himself, and Allen also believed that the young man in front of him would definitely grow into a persevering and outstanding person. Aragon has such qualities, and he just needs a little guidance.

"Everyone started to speed up." Said Allen gave the order to end the rest, and began to walk towards Shuanghetao.

But at this time, Alan didn't know that his every move, every word and deed was under Sauron's prying eyes.

As early as hundreds of years ago, the subordinates of the Dark Lord captured Palantir, which was placed in Minas Ithil, and now it is called Minas Morgul.

If it was just a team with a very small number of people, then Sauron, who was thousands of miles away, would have difficulty detecting the trace of this team even with the power of the Palantir spar.

If it is farther away, then Sauron's spiritual power is not enough to support him to use Palantir to observe farther places.

But at this time, there are thousands of powerful cavalry galloping on the brown ground, and many of them are Sauron's deadly enemies. It is impossible for such a team to hide. Lady Ladriel traveled with the procession to Gondor.

But this is an impossible thing.

Allen was also prepared early on to be spotted by the enemy, but he didn't want the ring spirit commanding the orc army to know his specific whereabouts.

Because that would make him very passive. After all, judging the enemy's position through information transmission is a completely different thing from arranging a scout to chase after the enemy.

That's why he used the eyes of animals to spare no effort to eliminate the dregs that were spying on him.

And the insidious and cunning Sauron, in fact, learned that Gondor would have support a long time ago.

With the help of the Palantir spar, he peeped to the north, and found a large number of Dongyi people migrating to Rune. At the same time, he also noticed Ashur who was rushing towards Mordor.

But the blizzard that followed also blocked the Demon Lord's gaze from continuing to the north.

But Sauron would not wait any longer. In order to find out the situation in the north immediately, he immediately sent his loyal servants.

And the evil creature rode the ferocious giant beast, and it took less than two days to kidnap Ashur from the vicinity of the River Run to the evil and dark Mordor.

Then Sauron learned all about it.

In this duel with Gondor, Sauron has his own plans and needs. It would be good if he could defeat the Kingdom of Gondor and enslave many humans.

But the result of the war made Sauron extremely dissatisfied. With the help of Rohan and the wizard, Gondor quickly resolved the troubles in the territory, and pushed the defense line to the Anduin River. After that, the comprehensive defense strategy adopted made the intensity of the war greatly reduced.

This was extremely inconsistent with Sauron's needs, because what he needed was far from enough to completely restore Barad-dur.

Therefore, the Demon Lord, who didn't want the war to end in a short time, summoned most of his allies except the Dongyi people, and prepared to fight to the fullest in Gondor.

However, Sauron, who noticed that there was a cavalry in the north preparing to support Gondor, also prepared a big surprise for the enemy in the brownfield.
