Start with Lord of the Rings

Chapter 229 Supreme Glory!

Rohan.

The warm light in the sky slanted west that day.

Large expanses of bright red sunset glow covered the sky.

The cold wind howled in the wilderness.

The section of Helm's Deep that leads to the vast wilderness.

Quite busy at this time.

Because from time to time, you can see a few cavalry, a dozen cavalry, or even more groups of cavalry, with large and small packages hanging on the horse's back, and the packages that make the sound of gold and iron collide continuously as they walk towards the depths of the valley. .

These cavalry were obviously Rohan hussars.

The battle with the Essinger Fangqiang orcs started at nightfall last night and continued until this morning.

Until the reinforcements of the white-robed wizard Gandalf and the lord of Xirohan Erkenbrand arrived, King Theoden was seriously injured and sick and led the charge.

With the joint efforts of the reinforcements and the defenders, the Essinger orc army was defeated.

Because there are too many defeated troops.

The troops on Rohan's side continued to chase and kill the fleeing orcs until the afternoon, and they barely chased and killed most of Isinger's defeated soldiers.

As for those who escaped, they are no longer a threat.

Helm Deep Valley is not close to Essinger, but it is not too far, that is, it is about two days away.

Presumably those deserters will eventually flee back to Isinger.

But that was no longer on Rohan's mind for the time being.

"bang bang bang"

The loud sound of horseshoes came along with the sound of gold and iron colliding.

A dozen or so heavily armed Rohan hustlers carried large packages and walked quickly towards the Horn Fort deep in the valley.

When this hussar team went away.

It didn't take long.

A lone hussar in full armor, with his head hidden in his helmet, appeared at the mouth of Helm's Deep Valley.

It is different from other hussars.

There are two people sitting on this war horse.

Moreover, there was not a single package hanging on the horse's back.

On top of that, the horse's forward speed is slow.

It is completely different from other hussars chasing time.

These two are naturally Morgan and Princess Eowyn of Rohan who "disguised herself as a man".

Because of Eowyn's status.

The two could not travel with the other knights of Rohan.

Even if there was an invitation from Rohan leaders and soldiers who recognized Morgan, it was rejected by Morgan.

The horses under him walked towards the deep valley at a constant speed.

Morgan looked up at the blood-red sunset in the western sky and suddenly said: "Look at the clouds in the sky. I heard that these clouds are caused by too many killings."

"Too many killings"

Eowyn followed Morgan's instructions, looked at the blood-red sky, seemed to think of something, and was silent for a long time before speaking softly.

"But it's finally over."

Morgan nodded softly.

"Yeah, it's finally over."

Eowyn sighed softly, her voice was not as energetic as before, not as energetic and cheerful as usual, obviously something was hidden in her heart.

Morgan is not the first brother, so he is naturally clear about it.

But just know.

He is not good, and he will not speak easily.

He has been in this world for nearly 60 years, and has also been in love with the elf Tariel for 60 years.

Although the two have not officially held a wedding until now.

But Tariel, who gave birth to him a son and a daughter, has long been regarded as his wife by him.

Morgan is not an elf, and he doesn't think he is a very dedicated and single-minded man.

However, he didn't want to hurt Tariel, who loved him so much.

He was even more unwilling to let his lovely daughter Ephne and well-behaved son Ulysses get hurt.

So, even if Éowyn's character really moved him.

He also didn't intend to do anything to be sorry for his wife Tariel.

If you meet Eowyn before you meet Tariel.

Then there is no need to wait for Éowyn to chase him back, he will also take the initiative to attack.

But not now.

Even if Eowyn's character makes him admire and like her very much, and her figure is attractive enough to attract him, that's not enough.

This is his responsibility as a man with a wife.

Eowyn's voice fell.

Morgan didn't answer.

The atmosphere was silent for a while.

Only the horses under the two of them moved forward quietly and at a constant speed.

It took a while.

Eowyn suddenly said: "The war has been won, perhaps His Majesty the King is already preparing to return to Edoras."

"And you Morgan?"

Having said this, Éowyn suddenly turned her head, looked at the man behind her and asked, "What are your plans next?"

Looking at the fair skin of Eowyn's face exposed in the gap of the tight helmet in front of him.

Morgan said, "Back to Edoras?"

"No, His Majesty Theoden will not do that."

"The world is not very safe right now."

"The great shadow of Sauron of Mordor hangs over the heads of the free races of the whole world."

"Someone has seen that Modo's army is already heading towards the Kingdom of Gondor."

"Under such a turbulent situation, His Majesty will definitely not return to Edoras now, that would be too unwise."

Morgan shook his head and finished.

Éowyn thought about it carefully, and nodded in acquiescence to Morgan's point of view.

But that's not what she really wanted to ask, he continued to look at the man behind him and asked, "What about you?"

"What's your plan next?"

"I"

Having said that, Morgan smiled and said, "Of course I will continue to stay here, in Fort Horn."

"After all, what you promised someone hasn't been done yet, has it?"

The voice fell.

Iowyn's eyes hidden in the helmet immediately lit up.

She immediately remembered what Morgan was talking about, that is, Morgan promised to teach herself how to learn archery this morning.

She almost forgot about it.

It's really inappropriate.

"I thought, Morgan, you forgot."

Eowyn's complexion changed slightly, her tone hesitated for a moment, and she immediately replied calmly.

But at such a distance.

Even if Eowyn's head is hidden in the helmet.

Morgan could also roughly see the slight change in the expression on her face.

And it can be heard from her tone that she obviously forgot about it.

Thinking of this, the corner of Morgan's mouth immediately raised, and he said in a slightly helpless tone: "I will never forget what I promised, I'm afraid some people have forgotten it."

"what"

EOWIN immediately smiled when she saw Morgan's expression.

She turned her head immediately and said, "I haven't forgotten"

After speaking, he seemed to think of something.

She covered her mouth and laughed again.

After such a commotion, the awkward and silent atmosphere before was swept away.

The two then walked towards the Horn Fort talking and laughing all the way.

There is joy in the air.

Middle-earth.

south.

Gondor.

Osgilias.

As the old capital of Gondor, the most powerful human kingdom in the entire world.

But now "Osgiliath", which is located on the banks of the Anduin River, has long been left with nothing but ruins.

But in "Minas Ithil", the sister city of "Minas Tirith", the former white city of Gondor, was led by the most powerful subordinate of Modo Sauron, the head of the ring spirits, the Witch King Angmar. seized.

"Minas Ithil" became "Minas Morgul".

Since "Minas Ithil" was taken away, "Osgilias" has logically become the most forward fortress of Gondor against Modo.

At this time, in the ruins of Osgiliath that had just ended a dangerous battle involving ring spirits riding fallen monsters.

The ring-bearers Frodo and Sam, who had their hands bound, and the hunchbacked, ugly Gollum were standing together nervously.

A few days ago, they were captured by humans because of the order of Denethor, the current ruling prime minister of Gondor.

Now, to face the ultimate fate.

And what can determine the fate of the three of them is right in front of their eyes.

Not far ahead, a tall human warrior wearing armor and a green cloak was arguing with a middle-aged warrior leader next to him.

"Faramir, you know the laws of our kingdom, the laws of your father!"

"If you let them go, according to the law, you will be sentenced to death."

The middle-aged leader persuaded seriously.

The voice fell.

The three faces of Frodo and Sam Gollum immediately became extremely tense.

At this moment, it wasn't just the three of them nervously looking at Faramir in front of them.

The other Gondor warriors present were all looking at Faramir.

The current owner of Gondor, the ruling prime minister "Denethor", only likes his eldest son "Boromir", and does not like his second son Faramir, as many Gondor warriors know.

Now, Faramir intends to disobey the orders of his father Denethor.

Forgive, and let go the three of Frodo whom he has seized with his own hands.

If Denethor found out, he would definitely punish Faramir severely, and even execute him.

All are awaiting Faramir's decision.

Didn't make people wait long.

Faramir took a deep breath, looked at the middle-aged warrior leader with a firm expression and said, "Then let him execute me."

After speaking, he looked at the two hobbits not far away, looked at the soldier beside him and ordered:

"Let them go."

Hear Faramir.

Frodo and Samzizi breathed a sigh of relief.

Gulu, who was in an embarrassing figure and with injuries on his body, didn't have any expression at this time, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"You guys come with me"

Faramir said as he walked forward.

Frodo and Sam followed at once.

Gollum followed.

After following Faramir, he walked through the ruined city at his feet for half an hour.

Several people stopped in front of a low ruin passage.

"It's here"

Faramir pointed to the dim waterway ahead and said, "This is the underground drainage channel that used to be the city."

"Through here, you can reach the edge of the opposite city."

"There is a forest over there that can cover you from leaving"

After some explanations, Faramir looked at Frodo again and asked, "By the way, which road do you plan to take to Mordor after you walk into the woods?"

Catch two little hobbits these days.

Faramir already knew that the goal of these two people was to go to Modo to shoulder the extremely important mission of destroying the Lord of the Rings.

This is also the main reason why he feels compassion and wants to let them go.

"Gollum said there was a way."

Hearing Faramir's question, Frodo glanced at Gollum aside, and continued: "Close to Minas Morgul, and extend to the mountain to pass."

Faramir is very familiar with "Minas Morgul", which used to be the city of Gondor.

Hearing Frodo say this, he remembered something at once, and asked with a frown, "Chiris Ugo?"

But looking at Frodo and Sam with a blank look on their faces.

Faramir immediately understood, turned his head, grabbed the strange-looking Gollum by the neck and pressed it against the stone pillar beside him, and asked harshly, "Qilis Ugo"

"Is that the name of the road?"

"No"

"no."

Gollum, who was tightly strangled by the neck, struggled in pain, and kept looking aside at Frodo and Sam.

"is not it?"

Seeing that the monster refused to speak, Faramir immediately tightened his grip on Gulu's neck.

"Yes"

"Yes, that's right, it's Chiris Ugo."

Gollum struggled to finish speaking.

"Humph"

Faramir snorted coldly, he knew the monster was dishonest, turned to look at the two hobbits, Faramir said in a deep voice:

"It is said, Frodo, that the Pass above Minas Morgul is inhabited by dark and evil horrors."

"You better not go that way."

After the words fell, Gulu immediately struggled to answer: "But there is only one way."

"The owner said that we must go to Modo, so we must try it."

Faramir looked gravely at Frodo.

Frodo nodded firmly. "I must try."

The voice fell.

Faramir was silent.

He was born in Gondor, grew up in Gondor, and fought in Gondor.

His understanding of the horrors of Modo is too deep.

Minas Morgul, as the Nazgul fortress, attacked the bridgehead of Gondor, the most powerful kingdom in Middle-earth. Needless to say, it was terrifying and powerful.

Therefore, he knew better than anyone else the difficulty and danger of Frodo's journey.

He looked at the two hobbits who were in distress and pale for a long time.

Faramir took a deep breath, raised his hand and threw the monster Gollum aside, looked at the little man in front of him and said in a deep voice, "Then go, Frodo."

"Take the blessings of all good human beings"

"thank you"

"Faramir."

Frodo and Sam set off on their way.

Gulu was a step behind when Faramir grabbed his neck again and pressed him against the strong, saying: "I don't know what your purpose is, and I don't want to know."

"But if you dare to bring them into a dangerous place, I will definitely kill you!"

"get out."

Faramir said harshly and dropped Gulu, looking coldly at the monster in front of him.

Gulu was afraid to turn over and stand up. He didn't dare to look at the humans behind him, and immediately crawled towards the waterway in front of him using his hands and feet.

When the human figure behind cannot be seen.

Gulu's face immediately became extremely distorted.

"Do you take a good look at these wounds on your body?"

"Being scolded and beaten is what you said will take care of our master?"

"No, the master doesn't want this."

"But he just stood there watching, unmoved."

"He just needs to persuade that human being, and we won't be harmed, but he just stands there and watches!"

"No, Master doesn't want to hurt us."

"But he broke his promise!"

"is not it!?"

"No, no, don't ask Smeagol."

"Smeagol doesn't know."

"Smeagol is in pain."

"Master betrayed us!"

"He's hypocritical, treacherous, full of lies and we should wring his dirty little neck and kill him!"

"Kill them both!"

"Then we take the baby."

"Then we are the masters!"

"but."

"But the fat hobbit, he can see, he's been keeping an eye on us"

"Then poke his eyes out."

"Then goug out his eyes and kill him!"

"No, no, no, it's too risky."

"That fat man eats a lot, we can't beat the two of them alone."

"It's too risky."

"Then we can hand them over to 'her'. You know that?"

"That's right, it's a good idea to let "her" do it."

"Good idea. Just kill them and we can take the baby"

"Then, we are the masters of the baby"

"well."

night.

Helm's Deep.

Horn Fort.

Inside the brightly lit city hall and the square, there was a lot of bustle and noise.

Defeated the archenemy Isinger.

Although Rohan also suffered a lot of casualties.

However, in such a difficult situation in the Kingdom of Rohan, this battle of winning more with less is definitely worth celebrating.

This is also a celebration that must be held to appease the soldiers, the people, and boost the people's confidence.

At this time, on the long table at the top of the hall.

King Theoden, who had one arm and half of his shoulder tightly wrapped in white gauze, sat at the head of the long table.

Beside him sat Gandalf Morgan, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli and other members of the expedition who made great contributions in the war.

On the other side, the lords of West Rohan, Erkenbrand, Eomer, the elf leader Haldir who came to help Roslorian, Mullen and other leaders, big and small.

When the banquet officially begins.

With the help of the attendants behind him, the wounded King Theoden stood up with difficulty and raised the high wine glass in his hand.

"Huh, huh, huh..."

All the people who were qualified to enter the hall immediately stood up.

Theoden raised his glass and looked at Morgan Gandalf and Legolas and said solemnly: "Thank you for what you have done for Rohan."

"On behalf of the entire kingdom of Rohan, I sincerely thank you"

"Rohan will never forget you."

"You will always be friends of the Kingdom of Rohan, always will be"

Injured King Theoden said here and drank the red wine in the tall wine glass with his head up.

Morgan, Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli immediately drank all the wine in their cups.

next second.

"Clap clap clap clap"

There were deafening applause and cheers immediately inside and outside the entire hall.

The five members of the expedition team stood in the hall and enjoyed the applause and cheers of the audience inside and outside the hall, except for Jin Li who blushed a little while enjoying the gaze in front of so many people.

Morgan and Gandalf, Aragorn and Legolas looked very calm.

This is the cheer and glory they deserve.
