There are two routes from Lothlórien to Rohan, one is to the west of the River Antonin.
You have to walk along the plains of Celebrant, and after crossing the Limqing River, you enter the territory of Rohan.
There, you should be able to clearly see Fangorn Forest where the Ents live.
Judging from the current situation, this road will be safer, because the orc army has already appeared in the black forest.
No one knows how many enemies escaped from the black door, lurking and ambushing in the desolate, dry and desolate brown land.
The other way is naturally to go to the Shuanghetao in the brown land. From there there are several fords across the Andunyin River and into the grasslands of Rohan, but this way is very dangerous.
However, after discussing with everyone, Allen still chose this more dangerous path.
Because after all, they are not a small team with a small number of people, but thousands of fully armed cavalry, plus more horses.
Whether it is building a bridge or using Lorien's ships, transporting such a large army across the river is a very time-consuming task.
This is somewhat unrealistic for people who need to rush on their way.
Finally, thousands of cavalry, led by their respective leaders, left the beautiful Lothlórien and headed towards Rohan.
A few days later.
Allen was walking on the road and kept talking to Estelle, while Kress was like a quail, riding her Sapphire beside her without saying a word.
The big bear that Grim transformed into followed closely around the team. As long as he restrained his breath, the horses could still get along with him peacefully.
Further behind the team were Malherbi, Barron, and Allen's bodyguards and hundreds of heavy cavalry, as well as the Dúnedain managed by Abinas.
Gale will definitely not be able to come back. After Allen ordered him to deliver the letter, he stayed in Wilderness Town to help Jamila handle some things. The way back was still very dangerous.
As for why Kress did not return to Wilderness Town with Barron, that was something that troubled Allen very much.
Allen also knows that as a king, he doesn't say what he says, but if he says it, he should be able to execute it smoothly.
Otherwise, where is the majesty of the king? How can the credibility of the royal family be guaranteed?
However, sometimes, the king's majesty is always delayed by one reason or another.
In addition to Grim's plea to Allen, Kress also took the initiative to admit his mistake, and carefully argued that he and Grim had discovered the enemy's traces and saw through an enemy raid in advance.
It can be considered as making some contributions.
Of course Allen knew this, but he would not let Kress stay just because of this matter.
Even if the result is good, the process is too dangerous and this is just sophistry.
However, Allen finally compromised, because Kress reminded him that on the way to Gondor, the troops might need the help of Kress's little animals.
After all, the enemy already knows the whereabouts of this team and has made corresponding arrangements.
Therefore, the reconnaissance range and efficiency of the animals were very important to Allen at this time. However, if he stayed, Allen asked Kress not to leave within five meters of him.
Even if he sleeps, he must sleep in the tent next to his. If problems arise again, he will punish Grim for asking this young skin-changer to plead with him.
In fact, Kress's little animals soon came to Alan's aid.
During the journey from Lothlórien to the Brownfields, there were countless wolf cavalry teams chasing after Allen and others.
When Allen learned this information, he immediately led the guards around him and quickly attacked and killed them all.
In such a terrain, there is no way these dirty guys can outrun Allen's elf horse, as well as the lightning and arrows that arrive in an instant.
But the current situation also let Allen know that the Nazgûl stationed in Dol Guldur had not given up blocking his team that was going south to support him, which made him feel a little uneasy.
The young and brave Estaire also asked Ying several times to follow Allen to drive away the enemies, but he was stopped by Abinas and rejected by Allen every time.
However, the young patriarch was not angry about this, but asked Alan humbly why the elves of Lothlórien did not occupy Dol Guldor in the Black Forest. As long as they occupied it, they would no longer have to worry about the enemy returning to the Black Forest.
In fact, there is no explanation for this matter in Allen's memory, but he also has some guesses of his own, and based on the situation in the Tower of Barad-dur, Allen thinks his guess is probably correct.
"In fact, our enemy spent a very long time and energy building Dol Guldur. He has been lurking there for at least a thousand years. During this process, the enemy must have used some kind of force to us.
Through unknown means, the evil has been permanently left in Amon Lanc, protecting the monstrous fortress that stands above it, Dol Guldur."
Allen, who said this, glanced at the black forest behind him from a distance, and continued:
"It is in darkness all year round. Even the sunlight cannot dispel the evil magic that shelters it. We humans, elves, and even dwarves with tough bodies cannot live there for a long time. Not only that, when the enemy recovers,
With the increase of power, the evil there will become more powerful, polluting the surrounding forests. Unless one day we can truly defeat the enemy entrenched in Mordor, we will never be able to truly purify the great green forest polluted by evil."
After hearing this, Estaire had a look of understanding on his face. It was not like he had never asked the elf for advice on these questions, but the elf's answers were always vague and specious.
The young Dúnedain chief was confused, and it was far less clear and easy to understand than Allen's explanation.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But he still has a question.
"Not even the Lady of the Golden Forest? She is so powerful."
After Allen heard this, he smiled and shook his head, and continued to answer: "The beautiful Lady Galadriel is indeed very powerful, but there is a certain level gap between her power and the evil of the enemy. If you have to
To use an analogy, it's like the blessed Númenóreans are so different from ordinary humans. Estel, you have to remember, never underestimate our enemy, no matter how careful you are when facing him.
It’s not an exaggeration.”
After hearing Allen's explanation, Estaire or Aragorn lowered his handsome face and fell into deep thought.
At this time, he had already learned his identity in advance, and at the same time he also understood the thorns and bumps on the road ahead.
The young Aragorn did not feel timid at all, but the strength of the enemy and the hardships on the road still made the young patriarch a little confused.
As for the experienced Allen, he saw some clues from Aragorn's face and felt a little emotional about this young man.
The difficulties you can see now are all good. When you grow up, you may still have the pain of not being able to love, waiting for you to experience it on the road ahead.
Emotions are emotions, but enlightenment still needs to be enlightened.
He smiled and pointed at the sky with his riding crop and said: "Estel, the strength of the enemy is nothing at this time. I don't know if you have heard of the name "Star of Eärendil". If you have heard of it, then
You should be able to understand that compared to the evils faced by people in ancient times, we are still lucky at this time. At least there are some ways to defeat the enemy."
"What method?" Aragorn asked a little hastily, and it was obvious that his patience had not been tempered by time.
"There are some things that cannot be talked about in such an open place. Who knows if our enemy is spying on us? But there is a story that I can share with you a little bit."
While talking, Allen selected some stories and told them to Aragorn about the Silmarils after they arrived in Middle-earth.
In Allen's opinion, this part of the content can be told, because whether it is the story of Beren and Luthien or the Silmaril worn by Eärendil, they are all mentioned in books treasured somewhere in Middle-earth.
record.
Even if Allen does not tell these stories today, Aragorn will learn this knowledge elsewhere.
At the same time, he will also work with Bilbo Baggins to compose a poem for his ancestor Eärendil in the future.
Of course, Allen would not talk about the things that happened in Valinor, because those things about the gods were really shocking coming from the mouth of a human being.
But Allen just told stories. He didn't remember any of those beautiful and moving poems. At the end of the story, Allen told Aragorn.
"Among these stories, there is a powerful item, which is the treasure of the Noldor royal family, the Silmaril. Those three precious gems have blessings that are enough to restrain any darkness, and contain the brilliance of life. If you can find one,
As long as we make good use of it, it will be enough to deal with our great enemy."
"Then why...?" Before he could finish the question, Aragorn knew that he had said something extremely stupid. If it were really so easy to obtain, then the Silmarillion would not have been able to be obtained based on the content of the story.
Praise was spread.
"You want to ask why no one is looking for it, right?" Allen smiled softly after hearing this.
After his smile faded, Allen answered Aragorn's question very seriously.
"The three Silmarils have long found their long-term destination: one is high in the sky, worn on Eärendil's forehead; the other is at the bottom of the ocean, guarded by countless deep-sea creatures.
There is another one in the fire at the core of the world. I don’t think there are any creatures in Middle-earth that can endure the high temperature there, including the Balrog hidden deep in Moria.”
After Allen said this, he thought for a moment.
"I tell you these things that happened in ancient times in the hope that you can experience the spirit of maintaining hope in the midst of suffering from the stories, and firmly believe that after our fearless and arduous struggle, the enemy will eventually pass away and the light will be there.
It will illuminate the earth."
After saying that, Allen lost the desire to continue talking. Aragorn was only fifteen or sixteen years old at this time. Even though he was extremely talented and of noble birth, he was still just a child after all.
No matter how much he said, it was better to let him figure it out for himself, and Allen also believed that the young man in front of him would definitely grow into a perseverant and outstanding person. Aragorn had such qualities, and he could just give him a little guidance.
"Everyone started to move forward faster." After speaking, Allen gave the order to end the rest and started walking towards the Shuanghe Loop.
But at this time, Allen didn't know that his every move, word and deed was under the prying eyes of Sauron.
As early as hundreds of years ago, the Dark Lord's subordinates captured the Palantir placed in Minas Ithil, and now it is called Minas Morgul.
If there is only a very small team, then Sauron, who is thousands of miles away, will definitely have difficulty detecting the traces of this team, even with the help of the power of the Palantir Crystal.
If it were further away, then Sauron's mental strength would not be enough to support him using Palantir to observe further away.
But at this time, thousands of powerful cavalry were galloping on the brown ground, and many of them were Sauron's mortal enemies. It was impossible for such a team to hide. It would be really difficult not to be discovered, unless extra time was added.
Lady Radriel traveled with this group to Gondor.
But this is an impossible thing.
Allen had also been prepared for the enemy to discover his traces very early, but he did not want the Nazgul, who commanded the orc army, to know his specific whereabouts.
Because that would make you very passive. After all, judging the enemy's position through information transmission is a completely different thing than arranging a team of scouts to chase after the enemy.
That's why he used the eyes of animals and spared no effort to eliminate the scum that were spying on him.
Sauron, who was cunning and cunning, had actually learned about Gondor's support a long time ago.
With the help of the Palantir crystal, he peeked to the north and discovered a large number of Dongyi people migrating to Rune. At the same time, he also paid attention to Ashur, who was rushing towards Mordor.
But the blizzard that followed also obscured the Demon Lord's gaze to the north.
But Sauron would not wait any longer. In order to find out the situation in the north immediately, he immediately sent out his loyal servants.
The evil creature rode the ferocious beast, and it took less than two days to kidnap Ashur from near the River Run to the evil and dark Mordor.
Then Zoro learned everything.
In this duel with Gondor, Sauron has his own plans and needs. It would be good if he could defeat the Kingdom of Gondor and enslave many humans.
However, the result of the war made Sauron extremely dissatisfied. With the help of Rohan and wizards, Gondor quickly solved the troubles in the territory and pushed the defense line to the Anduin River. The comprehensive defense strategy adopted thereafter made the war more intense.
Greatly reduced.
This is extremely inconsistent with Sauron's needs, because what he needs is far from enough to completely repair Barad-dur.
Therefore, the Demon Lord, who did not want the war to end in a short period of time, summoned most of his allies except the Dongyi people, and prepared for a heart-warming fight in Gondor.
However, Sauron, who noticed that there was a cavalry in the north preparing to support Gondor, also prepared a big surprise for the enemy in the brown land.
