[The Lord of the Rings The Hobbit] Ruby

Legolas remained silent on the way, Ellena hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking?"

"It's nothing." Legolas glanced at her, looking to the north further north than the Lonely Mountain, "I'm just a little worried. These half-orcs are different from other half-orcs. I haven't seen their marks for a long time. That It is the mark of Gondaba."

"Gundaba?" Tariel was a little puzzled, "Where is that place?"

"There is still some distance from the Lonely Mountain. There are still gray mountains between them. The Kingdom of Angmar in Gundaba has been destroyed for a long time." Elina couldn't figure out why the orcs would choose to come from Gundaba sent troops.

"The half-orcs in Gundaba have existed for hundreds of years, and it is now the northernmost fortress in the Misty Mountains." Legolas seemed to be reminded of some unpleasant memories by the name, and did not say much, "We To get there as quickly as possible, I feel like something is going to happen."

The three kept on their way, and finally arrived at their destination at dusk, a mountain peak with an ancient evil aura.There was silence all around, as if there was nothing here, but this excessive silence was like a harbinger before a storm.Elena knew that Legolas' feeling was right, something was going to happen, and it was very bad.

The three of them crouched in the crevices of the rocks and peeped at the fortress holding their breath.

"What's in here?" Tariel asked in a low voice.

"An old enemy," Legolas squinted his eyes as if recalling the past, "the ancient Angmar Kingdom, this place used to be their huge arsenal, used to manufacture weapons for war."

"Shh." Ellena made individual speech gestures, and then said in a very weak voice, "Look, there is light there, and there is movement inside."

What we have to do now is to wait for the night to fall. At that time, under the cover of night, they may be able to get closer to the fortress, and even sneak into its interior. Apart from hobbits, elves are also creatures that are very good at hiding their bodies in this world. , especially the wood elves who live in the forest.

"Say something, Legolas, we don't know anything about this place." Ellena moved to Legolas, and Tariel also listened with interest.

"This is a terrible place," Legolas said with a look of sadness and nostalgia on his face, "Our people fought bloody battles here in the last century."

"Last century?" Ellena was also rummaging through her memories about Gundaba, "I only remember that about 150 years ago, dwarves and half-orcs broke out a war of Gundaba that lasted five years. Baba battle, will your father participate in the war of the dwarves?"

"No, he didn't," Legolas had a hint of sarcasm on his face, "The gold and gems are always the most important thing in his heart, how could he help the dwarves." He turned his head, hid his face in the shadow, and passed It took a while before Ellena heard his voice again. He spoke quickly: "My mother died there."

"Sorry," Elena felt her throat was a little stuffy, "I shouldn't have mentioned this."

"It's nothing." Legolas' blue eyes were full of confusion and fragility at that moment, and the expression on his face was like crying and smiling, "My father never mentioned this, there is no cemetery, no mourning, nothing. "

Elena could feel the deep sadness in his heart, the nostalgia for his mother and the helpless resentment for his father's indifference. This is probably the real knot between the dense forest father and son.She didn't know how to comfort him. After deliberating for a while, Ellena said softly: "A long time ago, my mother was attacked by half-orcs on the road from Rivendell to Lorien. Later, my two brothers rescued her." I lost her, she was badly injured, and soon went west. My father rarely mentioned her, and I haven't seen her for four centuries. Perhaps, your father has some difficulties, I think It can be concluded that he loves you very much, maybe you can try to tell him what you think."

"Perhaps, I love my royal father." Legolas paused for a moment, then frowned again, "But I don't agree with many of his practices." He seemed not to want to talk about topics related to Thranduil, He began to discuss the plan to sneak into the fortress with Ellena and Tariel in a low voice.

The three of them continued to lie dormant outside the fortress, and soon night fell.

"If we want to go in, we should act now." Tariel looked at the sky and suggested.

Suddenly there was a sharp cry near the fortress, a large group of black bats flew over the heads of the three of them, Ellena's heart sank, the half-orc army in Gundaba was about to set off, damn it, she actually forgot to remind Baba Germany, but even if she reminds Bud, if Bud doesn't say it's unbelievable, I'm afraid it's hard to take any countermeasures.

"These bats have a special purpose." Legolas' face was extraordinarily serious, obviously he was also aware of the coming crisis.

Tauriel looked at the bats that came out of the nest with some horror. The black bats flying all over the sky looked evil and frightening, and asked, "What's the use?"

"War!" Elena snatched Legolas' lines, and shouted anxiously as she ran down the hillside, "We have to rush to the Lonely Mountain to report, they are defenseless."

Looking at the half-orc army densely packed like locusts, Ellena once again hated her own uselessness. She only cared about getting close to Legolas, but forgot about the tragic war. Now it was too late, she just asked It would be nice to be able to arrive at Gushan earlier, even 1 minute earlier.

Maybe it was Valar who heard her request, or maybe one person and one horse ran faster. When they arrived at the bottom of the lonely mountain, Bogg's army was still some distance away, and the dwarves of the Iron Hills were confronting the jungle elves. , Ellena yelled and rushed into them: "Gundaba! The orcs of Gundaba are coming soon! They have ground snakes!"

Legolas also got off his horse and walked in front of Thranduil, looking straight at Thranduil: "I saw it with my own eyes, it was Pogue."

Dwarf Dan frowned and looked at Ellena: "Why should I believe you, you are an elf."

"Because I came here from Shire with Thorin and the others. Dear King of the Iron Hills, you don't have to believe that I am an elf, but please believe in my dwarf friends. I swear everything I say in the name of Valar It's all true, if we are unprepared, we will all die here." Ellena said out of breath, "I come from Irejan, my ancestors and dwarves once forged the gate of Khasad-dum, my friend The word has never changed, please believe me."

Dan's face softened. It is true that Elrond's people could not have too much malice towards him, but he still couldn't believe the half-orc army. He preferred to believe that it was a collusion between elves and humans. A farce to deceive the dwarves.

At this moment, a burst of darkness covered the sky at a terrifying speed, and black clouds filled the sky in an instant. Donglei rumbled in the mountain with the strong wind, and the mountain peak was illuminated by lightning.Amidst the rumbling thunder, another group of black shadows whirled and hurried towards them, like a huge black cloud.

Elena's heart sank, the orcs came too fast.

The dwarves had to believe it if they didn't believe it, Gandalf patted Ellena's shoulder and said to everyone: "Come on, we still have time to discuss countermeasures, please come with us quickly, Dann, the son of Nain. "

The situation on the field changed instantly. The elves, dwarves, and humans in Long Lake Town formed an alliance, and Gandalf, Thranduil, Bard, and Dan began to draw up a battle plan.Every race here has a deadly feud with the orcs, so all people put aside their prejudices and united against them.The only hope for the coalition forces is to lure the orcs deep into the valley and into the mountains, and the defenders must hold on to the east and south slopes of the mountains.However, there were too many orcs, and it was difficult for the defenders to hold them.

After discussing the battle plan, the coalition forces quickly withdrew to the mountain and entered their respective defensive positions. The elves lined up along the south slope and the chaotic rocks below, and the humans and dwarves stood firm along the east slope. People climbed to the top of the mountains in the east to observe the enemy's movements. Even a good archer can see far away.

"If I can live until the end of the war, I will do something very important." Ellena chatted with several other people before the enemy came.

"What is it? Maybe it can help you," said Legolas, keeping his eyes on the north.

"I can't say it now," Elina stared at Legolas' serious side face, and smiled slightly, "but you can definitely help, as long as you want."

Soon, the black clouds drifted southeast with the sound of thunder, and swarms of bats flew low along the mountain and approached, blocking the sun. Their terrifying high-pitched sounds were enough to arouse fear in everyone's hearts.

Ellena stared coldly at the black shadow covering the plain in front of the mountain, and the arrow was already on the drawn bowstring.

The Battle of the Five Armies finally kicked off.

This was the first real war she had experienced, and she did have some fear in her heart, but none of these could compare to the pride of fighting alongside him.

Let this killing be more violent!
