Begin from the original form of torture and become immortal

Chapter 609 Just to tease fools

“During the Dark Ages, they lived under the evil shadow of Sauron, surrendered to him out of fear, and worshiped him. In 2350 of the Second Age, the loyal Númenóreans established a settlement north of the mouth of the Anduin River. At the Port of Rakir, I first came into contact with the mountain people living near the Blackman Temple. At that time, Sauron had been temporarily defeated, and Gil-galad's power was growing stronger, and the mountain people gradually escaped from the shadow. Second Era At the end of the period, the southern kingdom of Gondor was established, and the King of the Mountain and his men swore an oath to Isildur and swore allegiance to the Dúnedain.”

The mountain folk are not Gondor's most reliable allies.

The shadow of that dark past remains indelible, and neither does their fear and obedience to their old master.

Therefore, when Sauron rose again and Isildur raised his troops and gathered the people of the mountains, they broke their promise and refused to fight.

So, beside the Black Stone of Erech where the King of the Mountain swore an oath, Isildur angrily cursed them:
  "You will never rest until the day you fulfill your oath."

Those who broke the oath fled into the mountains to hide. Over the next few centuries, this tribe gradually weakened, and its people could not find peace after death.

Eventually, the King of the Mountain became the King of the Dead, leading his people who had become ghosts to wander in the former territory, waiting for the descendants of Isildur to free them.

They often haunt the Path of the Dead. Horrible legends about them circulate among the people of Gondor south.

During the reign of Arvidui, the king of Arthedain, the prophet Maubes predicted that one day, when darkness invades again, those who break the oath will be given the opportunity to fulfill their oaths.

"An army of ghosts?"

Aragorn finally understood what was waiting for him.

Chang Wei is very interested in this group of ghost army/grey army. The army of the undead is the name given in the movie, but not in the original book.

The most powerful thing about them is that they can only cut others, but others cannot cut them.

The souls of the mountain people have been wandering around Mount Erech; whenever the dark ages come, the ghosts will gather around the black stone, whispering, as if holding a gathering.

White mountains!

Everyone came to a path, which was the Road of the Dead.

This is a ghostly trail through the White Mountains.

Rows of ancient stone statues stand at the northern entrance to the Path of the Dead, leading to Dimholt.

The Black Woods are spread out between Aransaga, Spike Mountain and Devi Moberg.

In front of an open depression at the foot of the mountain, a huge boulder stood alone in the middle of the road.

Deep in the narrow valley stands a steep stone wall, and the door to darkness opens on the wall.

What comes next is truly called the Path of the Dead: the dark tunnels exude fear, and endless whispers can be heard in the tunnels, a language that has never been heard before.

Fortunately, none of the hobbits came, otherwise they would probably be extremely frightened now.

Chang Wei looked at everything around him with interest. After Legolas and Aragorn knew what they were going to face, they were on guard.

At this time, everyone felt timid in their hearts. Only Legolas of the elf race was not afraid of the ghosts of mortals.

Legolas: They are not of the same race, there is no fear factor.

"Let's go."

Despite his fear, Aragorn still led the way into the Dark Portal with firm will and stepped into the Path of the Dead without hesitation.

In the center of the cave, they discover Baldo's remains.

But Aragorn did not touch the skeleton, but turned and summoned the undead to follow him to the Black Stone of Erech.

The undead came out and threatened Chang Wei and others.

"Interesting." Chang Wei pulled out the steel sword. This steel sword that had been tempered many times by hot and cold was still intact. Even Chang Wei did not use the dagger that the elves had enchanted with his elves, which made Aragorn and the others suddenly feel uncomfortable. Wonderful, I don’t know what Chang Wei is planning to do.

"Undead, fear me!"

Chang Wei's steel sword lit up with pure white light. After the undead came into contact with the light, they were in agony and screamed repeatedly. However, they could not die. The power of the curse maintained their bodies.

Chang Wei has dealt with these undead many times in the world of Pirates of the Caribbean.

But at this time, he discovered that these undead were not the same species as the undead in Pirates of the Caribbean. They were not so much undead, but so-called undead with memories of their lives.

The undead were originally very arrogant, but after being treated like this by Chang Wei, they calmed down. The most important thing is that Chang Wei proved that he had the ability to hurt them, but did not kill them directly. For them, they wanted to What is wanted is relief, not pain.

It wasn't until Aragorn stepped forward and pulled out the holy sword that the undead suddenly understood.

Then, they groped in the darkness, finally emerged from the rift, and then hurried to the Black Stone of Erech.

They arrived at the Stone of Erech at midnight, and Aragorn tore off the royal banner that Arwen had sewn for him and declared his identity as the heir of Isildur.

The undead already know that the holy sword is the best proof of identity.

"Fulfill your original oath, people of the mountains!"

Aragorn said to them.

When the undead were about to show off, Chang Wei took out his steel sword.

"This sword is called the Sword of the Dead. The souls killed by it will be imprisoned in this sword forever, obeying the sword's owner's orders forever. Which of you will try it?"

Then the undead knelt down very decisively.

Just kidding, they don't want to be treated like this. What's more tragic than never being able to escape is being imprisoned in a sword. Thinking about it, it's even sadder than their current situation.

"Is this sword of yours really the Sword of the Dead?"

Aragorn asked Chang Wei in a low voice.

"You're just teasing fools, do you believe this?"

Chang Wei's words made other people who also pricked up their ears suddenly look around in embarrassment, chatting pretentiously with each other.

"Ahem, of course I don't believe it. I just think your sword shouldn't be such an evil weapon."

Aragorn quickly wanted to defend himself, he didn't want to be a fool.

The undead chose to surrender and obey Aragorn's orders, only asking Aragorn to fulfill his oath after completion and free them.

Then they followed Aragorn to the end of the Road of the Dead, which is to the south of the White Mountains, Gondor's southern territory!

"My king, your army is gathered here, waiting for the mission after thousands of years."

More than [-] undead gathered here and said to Aragorn.

"Fight for me and let your souls rest in peace!"

"Let's go, target the Umba pirates!"

The sword of Aragon points to the coastline.

The ghostly undead army immediately followed Aragorn.
