Infinite Movie World

Chapter 1337 Gundabad
Just when the battle on the Lonely Mountain was about to start, Legolas, the wood elf prince, took Tauriel all the way northward, passing through desolate mountains and plains, and finally arrived at a huge fortress shaped like an axe.

"Where is this?" Tao Ruier asked in surprise.

As a wood elf who "closed the country", Taurier has never left the capital of the wood elves, and occasionally went out to perform tasks, and they were all near the capital of the wood elves. Before seeing this strange fortress, Taurier had been to The farthest place is Changhu Town.

But Prince Legolas is different. As a prince, he certainly has the privilege of traveling far, and he often goes out to increase his knowledge under the leadership of his father Thranduil.

However, even so, Prince Legolas gasped when he saw the fortress.

"This is... Gundabad."

"Gundabad?" Tao Ruier frowned slightly, "This word is so convoluted, it doesn't seem like a word used by our elves, but rather..."

Legolas sighed: "You guessed it right, this is the ancient dwarf language, meaning, the place where the ancestors awakened."

"Ancestor?" Tauriel asked in surprise, "The ancestor of the dwarves?"

"Yes, just like the origin of our elves is the Double Sacred Tree, the origin of the dwarves is a dwarf named Turin. He is called the undead by the later generations. All the existing dwarves are his descendants. After a long After the evolution, they were divided into seven tribes." Legolas introduced: "The Lone Mountain dwarves are the most orthodox Turin blood."

Tao Ruier asked: "If the Turin ancestors of the dwarves awakened here, then this should be the holy land of the dwarves."

Legolas shrugged, "I don't know about that, I just read in the book that after Turin awakened, he went all the way south to the Lonely Mountain, and chose the Lonely Mountain as his birthplace. Gundabad was not chosen—maybe, Gundabad’s strategic position is not as important as the Lonely Mountain.”

Tao Ruier nodded, "Indeed, the Lonely Mountain has strangled the vital points of the entire Misty Mountain Range. Occupying the Lonely Mountain can guarantee the safety of Gundabad."

"This is true in theory, but the ancestors of Turin probably didn't expect that after his death, the dwarves would split into seven tribes, and they would fight each other until the Lone Mountain dwarves dug out the heart of the mountain and made a decision The agreement that whoever holds the heart of the mountain can rule the seven tribes."

Legolas said: "When the dwarves were fighting, a powerful human kingdom rose up, and this kingdom was the Kingdom of Angmar. Gundabad immediately became the gateway to the Kingdom of Angmar, and here is the largest kingdom of Angmar Empire. The strength of the Angmar Empire has a lot to do with it. Later, Sauron controlled and transformed the king of Angmar with the power of the Lord of the Rings, and the Kingdom of Angmar fell completely and became After the Second Era War, Sauron lost and the monster army was completely defeated, but the dwarf tribes were also severely injured, and no one had the power to clean up and govern this place. Gradually it became a wasteland."

"So the fortress is empty?" Tauriel asked.

Legolas sighed and said: "This place should be empty. But we followed the traces of Borg and came here, which means that this place is probably not empty, but if it is not empty, it will be empty." A super scary thing! This is on the north side of the Lonely Mountain, which is equivalent to being behind the Lonely Mountain. If there is an orc army coming out from here, then they can go straight to the back of the Lonely Mountain!"

Tao Ruier said in astonishment: "Isn't the lonely mountain about to fall?"

Legolas glanced at Tauriel, "Actually, I don't care much about whether the group of arrogant and indifferent Lone Mountain dwarves are dead or alive, but the strategic position of Lonely Mountain is very important. The army can use Gushan as its forward base, so we, who are the closest to Gushan, will definitely be the next target of the Demon City army!"

Tao Ruier realized the seriousness of the matter, and she quickly said comfortingly: "It should not be, I think, Borg just escaped here by chance to take refuge."

Legolas said in a deep voice: "Perhaps, we should go in and explore."

Tao Ruier had sharp eyes and saw the flames beating in the fortress. She said quickly: "Wait, there seems to be someone inside. To be on the safe side, we should wait until night."

Wood elves like to act in the dark. When they are in the dark, their energy will become more vigorous and their vision will become clearer. This is their unique racial advantage. Compared with the noble elves and Raven in the Golden Forest As far as the city elves of Dale are concerned, they are more adapted to moving at night.

Legolas was silent for a while, his eyes dimmed.

Tao Ruier felt strange, and quickly asked, "What's the matter? You don't want to go in?"

She knew that Legolas was always very brave and would never be afraid to explore an enemy's castle, not to mention that this pursuit was also led by Legolas.

Therefore, when she saw Legolas' expression, she would be even more strange.

Legolas said: "When we fought against Sauron's army, this was the main battlefield. Our clansmen sacrificed countless lives here, and finally prevented the monster army from continuing to advance west of the Misty Mountains."

Tao Ruier nodded slightly, "At that time, I should not have been born yet."

"Yes." Legolas said: "At that time, I was just born. For the comfort of Middle-earth, my mother just gave birth to me, and came here to fight with my father. In the end, the war I won, but my mother was seriously injured and fell down. In the following years, she was always seriously ill. Queen Galadriel and King Elon visited and treated her many times, but they could only maintain her life. She Alive, but extremely painful..."

Tao Ruier's eyes widened, this was the first time she heard about the former queen's deeds.

Legolas said quietly: "She passed away before I became an adult. She died in the Battle of Gundabad. This place is a difficult hurdle for me to overcome."

Tauriel put his hand gently on Legolas' shoulder, "Your Highness, your mother will be very happy to see your heroic appearance."

Legolas said with tears in his eyes: "...Thank you. Let's go in and investigate tonight."

Tao Ruier said quickly: "No, if you don't feel well, you can stay here and let me go in and check."

Legolas said with a smile: "My mother died because of this, how can I let you make the same mistakes again? I will accompany you and protect you forever."

Tao Ruier's heart tightened, and he quickly retracted his hand.

She felt that Prince Legolas seemed to have misunderstood her even more.
