Chapter 54 The Dark Forest

Beorn is back and he brings the latest movements of the orcs.

"I did find traces of orcs in the West, but they are not goblins in the Mist Mountains, they are the orcs with a wolf. How did you mess with them?"

Thorin asked: "Look at me, I am Thorin Oak Shield, the son of Thorin, the grandson of Sorrel, and the orcs of Gundabad need a reason to chase me?"

Beorn looked at Thorin's big and wide face and focused on it. He was not an ignorant and reckless person, and he knew very well about the decisive battle decades ago.

But there is one thing Gandalf must have wanted to know. He has always ignored it before, but now that he has met local residents, he must say it.

"I remember that the orcs of Gundabad rarely went to the Gundabad Mountain. After the great decisive battle decades ago, their strength was greatly damaged. They should not be able to recover their strength so quickly, nor should they appear in the wilderness so often. I don't know much about this."

Beorn thought for a while and replied: "I don't know much about this, but my animal friends told me that in Dogurdor in the south there was an evil dark force that had risen, and it had formed an alliance with the orcs of Gundabad, and now the pale orc blasphemer Azog is serving this person."

Gandalf knocked on his cigarette pot and murmured to himself: "Nether Mage..."

"Neutenant wizard? Yes, that's right, that warlock called himself, and they also awakened the souls of the legendary dead man. Gandalf, I can feel that the power of darkness is rising. Are you sure there is nothing wrong with human north? For example, the ring spirit sealed in the tomb."

"Rudol..." The folds on Gandalf's face became even more obvious.

If the awakened undead is really that man, then there will be a big mess...

Ronan also remembered that the man was not talking about others, but the leader of the Nine Rings Spirit, Angma Witch King.

The name of that person is no longer known, and the Witch King of Angma is his only title, because he was once the northernmost human kingdom, the king of Angma, and one of the holders of the Nine Rings of Humanity. These humans wearing Nine Rings were so thoroughly transformed by the black magic that they could hardly die.

At the end of the second era, the Demon Lord Sauron was defeated by the Mordor Black Gate, and the Nine Rings Spirits scattered. When Sauron returned in the third era, this immortal ambitious man established his own power in the north. People did not know that he was one of the Nine Rings Spirits, but only thought he was a very powerful necromancer.

Later, this undead was called Angma Witch King. His power expanded rapidly, recruiting humans, orcs and other races, and then brazenly invaded the Kingdom of Yanor, causing the decline and division of the Kingdom of Yanor. It can be said that most of the chaos in the north today is due to this ring spirit.

However, the growth of evil forces eventually attracted the attention of the elves, and the tragedy of relatives in the north also attracted the attention of Gondor in the south. In the end, humans and elves formed a powerful coalition to destroy this once powerful dark country, and the powerful Angma Witch King was sealed and buried.

(Note: The Angma Witch King was buried and sealed is a movie setting. In the original work, the Angma Witch King was not captured after being defeated, but fled south to Mordor.)

Rudor is a northern kingdom that once broke out after the collapse of the Kingdom of Anor. It surrendered to the Kingdom of Angma and was eventually destroyed in the battle to attack Angma. Angma's tomb was buried in the hills of Rudor.

Beorn looked at Gandalf and said slowly, "I said I don't like dwarves, but I don't like orcs, they must have a reason to chase you, and I will definitely stop them."

"Why? Uh, I'm sorry, I mean, why do you have to be unable to get along with the orcs?" Bilbo was a little confused. "Of course, I'm not saying good things to the orcs, but if you choose not to fight against the orcs, it will be easier, why do you have to help us?"

“My tribe and I didn’t live here at first, and we still had a lot of them.

We live in the vast foggy mountains, where life is difficult for others, but it is very comfortable for us. Only the goblins in the mountains are enemies of us, and they all win and lose each other.

But then the orcs of Gundabad came, and the blasphemer Azog, who joined forces with the Goblin to break through our villages and kill our loved ones, and I swear to avenge them."

"Uh..." The Hobbit knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he had to apologize: "I'm sorry, I've mentioned your sad things."

Everyone present, except Ronan, has a deep hatred with the orcs. Except for Ronan and Bilbo, they have personal experiences, so criticizing the orcs has become a kind of political correctness and wealth code.

Do you hate orcs? If you hate them, we are half-brothers!

Beorn finally made the decision and asked, "What is your purpose?"

Thorin told Beoren about Mubao, who had to arrive at Gushan before Turin, and told Beoren that they planned to cross the jungle.

"Silly," Beorn commented, "Did Ladagast not tell you that the jungle is no longer safe now, and that the dark forces from the land of name spread under the shade of trees, and that the children of Angorian are growing there, and that the animals no longer dare to enter the jungle."

Anglean is also an important monster in Middle Earth mythology. It is the materialized incarnation of the shadow of Middle Earth. It is a huge eight-clawed spider. It once conspired with the great demon Milkou to devour the double holy trees, leaving the world without any light from now on.

In this critical moment, the god of matter, Aoli, joined hands with the gods to create the Sun Boat and the Moon Boat to make it sail in the sky, which led to the world into light. According to legend, all spiders in the Middle Earth world are its descendants, so the spiders also represent the ultimate darkness.

These spiders are definitely not as fragile as ordinary creatures in other worlds. They are naturally carriers of black magic and have extremely severe toxicity, so even if they are skinless people, they cannot face them easily.

Ronan added: "We don't walk the old forest road, we walk the elves' path, where there are shelter from wood elves, and the spiders dare not over-invade."

The Elf Road, a road rarely known in the dark forest, is parallel to the Old Jungle Road, but the person who opened it is the elves in the forest, not the dwarfs. It is further north, and there is a dark Jungle Mountain between the Old Jungle Road, and the maintenance of the elves should be safe.

"The idea is good," said Beorn. "But those wood elves have more courage and wisdom, they are equally dangerous, but this is not the first difficulty you face. Nowadays, the wilderness is full of orcs, and even I can only protect one side of the land, so you must not walk to the dense forest, do you want a horse?"

Thorin focused on the key points and was not polite at all, "You want it!"

Something was confirmed, and the big stone in everyone's heart also fell to the ground. Although the farts were still sounding tonight, everyone except Ronan slept soundly.

The next morning, everyone got up early and took the confused Ronan onto the horses provided by Beorne.

"Remember, you can't put my pony into the jungle."

Then Beorn and Gandalf talked about something, and Ronan could only see Gandalf's expression becoming more and more serious.

Then everyone rode the pony and continued to advance eastward, climbing over the undulating small mounds. In the following days, they did not encounter the orc army, and they all the way until a huge forest that could not be seen at a glance was standing in front of everyone.

"I finally arrived, the dark and dense forest. After passing through this forest, we are not far from the lonely mountain," Thorin turned over and dismounted and sighed.

"Put these ponies back, they will find their way back by themselves." Gandalf looked behind him, as if he had seen Beorn's figure.

"By the way, I'm afraid you'll have to walk on your own in the next section of the road. I'm going to have something to do for the time being."

"What? Gandalf, you can't..." Billbo was anxious.

"Listen, Bilbo, my itinerary is crucial to go, but I don't think you have to worry. When I'm not here, you can ask Master Ronan for advice."

"But Ronan..."

"Okay, I've decided, Master Ronan, come with me."

Gandalf pulled Ronan aside and said to Ronan: "Master Ronan, I agree with your abilities, but I think you still have a lot to know about the customs and customs of Middle-earth and the relationship with major forces."

Ronan nodded. His understanding of Middle-earth was limited to the six movies in the Lord of the Rings series. After these six movies, he had to ask the system. Although the information in the system was also very rich, how could this be compared to Gandalf, who had lived in Middle-earth for nearly two thousand years?

"Then I think you need to be clear about one thing. When you go to the jungle, you will inevitably encounter the wood elves (Silfan elves). They are sensitive and fragile, arrogant and withdrawn. Never boast too much about the feats of their fellow Noldo elves in front of them, and..."

Ronan was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns. It was really hard for Gandalf. He was obviously a Maiya from Verino (nickname for Amena), but he had to learn the etiquette, language, politics, and history of mortals. It was really hard. He had never cared about so many when he was a leader.

I also want Ronan to remind me of this matter. It seems that I have to look at the information stored in the system in the future, otherwise it will be very difficult to cram the moment each time.

Then Gandalf rode his horse and turned westward. Ronan knew where he was going, but Ronan didn't plan to tell him directly that Angma had already been cheating, not only had he cheated on the zombie, but also attacked Minas Isir. Now Mordor is accumulating strength for the return of his master Sauron.

After all, he is just an outsider, so how could Gandalf completely believe it?

So let's see the style of Sylvan's elves.

"Let's go and enter the dark forest, and leave early and arrive early."
