The Misty Mountains are the longest mountain range in Middle-earth, stretching for more than 800 kilometers from south to north.
It is a mountain range that was forcibly pulled up from the earth by Morgoth in ancient times.
It is said that Morgoth did this crazy act to protect his men from being hunted by the hunter Oromë in the Valar.
To the north, it is adjacent to the Gray Mountains, the Gundabad Mountains and the Angmar Mountains.
Heading south to the Ferry of Rohan, Saruman's Isengard is located at this location.
Among them, the two most important gaps that can cross the mountains are Gao Pass and Hongjiao Peak.
And now, everyone in the expedition team is walking on the road at the high pass.
In fact, there are two passages at the high pass, the upper one and the lower one. The lower one is relatively wider and easier to walk. At the end of the Second Era, during the final alliance war, the army passed here.
The roads at high altitudes are very steep and difficult for a large group of people to pass.
However, the activities of orcs have been very frequent in recent years, and the roads in the lower areas are very dangerous.
So, on Gandalf's advice, the expedition team set foot on the road high above the High Pass.
Yes, due to Allen's influence, the White Council did not hold a meeting in Rivendell.
Therefore, the gray-robed wizard was able to set foot on the Misty Mountains with the dwarves.
At this time, the horses in the team could no longer follow them, so everyone shared the supplies and drove the horses back.
Bilbo Baggins was a little worried about them, but according to Gandalf, they would return to Rivendell smoothly and live there.
At this time, Allen was more worried about the safety of the members of the expedition team.
Because the cave in Orc Town has been dug up to this point, the fateful moment will be born at this time, and he doesn't know whether he should stop it.
Allen was a little anxious and could only keep his head down and do detective work at the front of the team.
However, without horses, Allen cannot leave the team too far, and the efficiency of investigation is very low.
Fortunately, the team trekked in the mountains for more than a week and did not encounter any accidents or enemies.
The weather has been good, which made Allen's mood gradually improve, and he gave up the idea of interfering in anything.
Although the road was relatively difficult, everyone was in a good mood and chatted along the way.
After all, everyone had a good rest in the valley, and their physical strength and spirit have been fully restored.
But all this was ruined today. It was raining heavily, and even though everyone was wearing ponchos, the cold rain still soaked everyone's clothes.
The road in the mountains has also become slippery and difficult to walk due to the rain. From time to time, there are gravels and muddy water above the head, rushing down the hillside, and it may fall on someone's head.
Allen keenly sensed that something was wrong and asked to reduce the speed of the entire team. Thorin Oakenshield looked at the bad weather and agreed.
Even if the speed is reduced, there are many dangers along the way.
Others can say that the dwarves have a stable chassis and the two giants have rich experience in surviving in the wild.
Bilbo Baggins, who only had a small sword hanging on his waist, was particularly uncomfortable.
This hobbit has lived in the Hobbiton area all his life and has never walked such a dangerous road.
And the current predicament makes this hobbit, who has never traveled far, feel extremely difficult.
He encountered life-threatening dangers many times in a short period of time, and the members of the expedition team helped him to varying degrees.
Otherwise, his life would have been lost long ago in this dangerous mountain.
And our team leader, the poisonous-tongued Thorin Oakenshield, was extremely dissatisfied with the Hobbits and believed that Bilbo Baggins was dragging down the entire team.
Even though he saved Bilbo's life, he didn't forget to say some heart-wrenching words.
The dangerous environment and heart-wrenching words caused Bilbo Baggins' thoughts to constantly change.
Alan could tell that the hobbit missed Rivendell more and more deeply.
However, something even more unfortunate happened. A boulder that looked bigger than Allen flew towards him who was walking at the front of the team.
The boulder did not attack Allen deliberately, but hit Allen hard in front of him.
The rumbling sound instantly reached Allen's ears, and the splashed debris even scratched his sweaty cheeks.
Death had never been so close to Allen. At that moment, Allen stopped. After being stunned for a few seconds, Allen turned around and shouted for everyone to stay back.
The team fell into chaos for a while, but soon, under the command of Thorin Oakenshield, Gandalf and Allen, they ran towards the original path, away from the site of the stone giant battle.
Even so, there would be deafening sounds coming from behind from time to time, forcing everyone to move faster and faster.
Soon, everyone came to the back of a mountain peak, and rumbling sounds kept ringing on the other side of the mountain.
Everyone gasped with pale faces and no longer had the desire to speak.
The heavy rain never stopped, but the rumbling sound finally subsided after an hour.
Everyone had to continue to take heavy steps and set foot on the road in the mountains.
Although the road was somewhat damaged by the battle between the stone giants, you can still pass it if you are careful.
It just took a lot of time and everyone looked even more tired.
Thorin Oakenshield asked Allen to find a suitable place to rest. Allen nodded and set off.
Soon after, Allen finally discovered a cave in a slightly hidden place. It was very wide and very dry, which was very suitable for everyone to camp here.
Allen didn't know if this was the cave in the movie, or not, and he didn't care anymore.
What he knew was that the current expedition team was in very poor condition. If they didn't rest, their tired bodies and tense spirits might kill them.
After receiving the news, Thorin Oakenshield asked if the cave was safe.
Allen frowned and said: "None of the caves in the Misty Mountains are safe. You'd better sleep with one eye open."
Thorin Oakenshield smiled after hearing this and said nothing more.
Due to Alan's previous advice, Thorin Oakenshield lived in Rivendell for a long time.
Lord Elrond showed no objection to the expedition and helped the dwarves a lot.
This made Thorin Oakenshield change his attitude towards the elves of Rivendell, and also made him grateful from the bottom of his heart for the efforts made by Alan and Gandalf.
So after walking out of the Glen, Thorin Oakenshield expressed his gratitude to Allen in a subtle way, and Allen felt it and responded.
This greatly eased the relationship between the two, and also made the dialogue between Allen and Thorin Oakenshield no longer as formal as before.
Everyone was very tired. When they heard that there was a place to rest, they quickened their pace. After a while, they arrived at the camping site under the guidance of Allen.
Everyone lit a fire, ate some simple food, and then began to rest. Too many things happened on this day.
At this time, Bofur was keeping vigil, Bilbo was planning his escape, and Alan was close to Gandalf, not daring to sleep.
He was a little worried that this cave was also connected to the Orc town. Allen even believed that all the caves near the high pass led to the Orc den.
Sure enough, when everyone was resting, the orcs attacked as promised.
Although Bilbo, who was about to run away, alerted the police, everyone was caught by the orcs in the sudden panic, but Gandalf and Alan were not discovered.
Gandalf used magic in response to Alan's earlier warning, which made Gandalf and Alan next to him inconspicuous.
After waiting for the commotion to subside, the two jumped into the Orc Town before the crack in the stone closed.
The place is damp and gloomy, and only a few torches bring a little light to the place. Allen can only barely see the road under his feet clearly.
The person in charge of this place is Allen's old enemy, the Orc King.
His subordinates often used this method to capture passing caravans.
Therefore, the expedition team was not deliberately ambushed, but encountered a trap by the orcs.
A large number of orcs ran along the wooden suspension bridge towards the depths of the cave.
They wanted to see who was so lucky to catch the prey today.
After all, there have been no pedestrians coming to Gao Pass for a long time.
Alan is hiding in the darkness. He does not have the talent of a hobbit. He can slip away quietly in the crowd. He needs to hide well.
After all the orcs had left here, Allen drew his sword and followed the path that the orcs had taken.
Gandalf?
Allen lost sight of the old man after jumping down. It may be that the wizard's magic affected Allen's sight, or he may have his own plan.
In short, it was not Allen's turn to worry about his safety. After tidying up a little, Allen followed the path the orcs took.
Alan, who was walking along the road, saw a little bit of blue light falling into the depths of darkness just after turning a corner. That was Bilbo Baggins and his sting.
Allen knew that the gears of fate were turning, and the ring that affected Middle-earth would also find its new owner at this time.
What I didn't expect about this ring was that it would not be a good thing for it to go from the hands of an otaku to another determined Buddhist player.
In fact, on the way, Allen had always thought about whether to tell Gandalf about the ring early. This matter had been entangled in Allen's mind for a long time.
But in the end, Allen decided not to say anything.
Allen had a lot of worries. In fact, at this time, Sauron's strength had almost recovered.
His shadow has once again shrouded Middle-earth a long time ago.
Think about it, ten years later, Sauron told everyone in Mordor that he was back, and since then he has been suppressing Gondor.
One can imagine how powerful he is at this time.
Another concern of Allen is the white-robed wizard Saruman.
If Gandalf knew the whereabouts of the Supreme Lord of the Rings at this time, he would definitely summon everyone from the White Council to discuss how to deal with it.
Then this Supreme Ring will have a high probability of falling into the hands of the leader of the White Council, Saruman. Allen cannot accept this result no matter what.
The War of the Ring will definitely be advanced by then. In addition to dealing with Sauron, the good camp will also have to deal with Saruman, who has fallen into power and possesses the Ring.
Then the world will enter the era of twin towers competing for supremacy, which is simply a nightmare mode.
Allen couldn't imagine what kind of disaster his people would suffer by then.
Allen also thought about whether Gandalf would go directly to Mount Doom after learning about the whereabouts of the Supreme Ring. Later, Allen rejected this idea.
In the original trajectory, after Gandalf determined the whereabouts of the One Ring, he still asked Frodo to take the ring to Rivendell, where he sought Lord Elrond's opinion.
So at this time, Gandalf will indeed change his route after knowing it, but it is more likely to go to Lothlórien and then organize a meeting to discuss how to deal with it.
At this time, Saruman had sunk in power, but was not exposed. He had many opportunities and was fair and aboveboard.
After thinking about it, Allen felt that it would be better not to do anything, but to find more opportunities to develop his own strength and bring a new possibility to the War of the Ring.
As for whether to keep it for his own use, Allen sneered at this.
Let’s not talk about whether Allen can control the power in the Lord of the Rings.
He does not have the desire-free nature of Bilbo Baggins.
So when he saw that trace of blue light, he headed straight ahead without hesitation.
Until he saw a bright, empty cave filled with orcs.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There are at least a thousand of them densely packed.
And a huge orc was singing heavy metal music with a few small orcs. In front of him were the dwarves who had been captured.
Allen crawled on his knees and slowly approached the concert site.
When he got closer, Allen saw Gandalf, who was hiding in a corner and preparing something unknown.
Gandalf also noticed Alan. He put his index finger to his mouth to signal Alan to stay quiet.
Allen knew what would happen next and narrowed his eyes consciously.
He knew that the time to escape was coming soon.
Soon, Gandalf released the magic he had prepared for a long time.
A burst of bright light accompanied by strong winds struck the surrounding orcs.
This burst of bright light directly blinded all the orcs, and the strong wind almost blew out the nearby firelight.
Then Gandalf's loud and majestic voice echoed through the cave.
"Take up your weapons and fight, quickly."
Encouraged by this voice, the dwarves who recovered faster grabbed their weapons one after another.
With Gandalf's cry of "Follow me."
Everyone started running after Gandalf.
Soon, the cave became a mess. The dwarves fled along the narrow road while fighting with the besieging orcs.
These orcs seemed to be endlessly killing them. They waved the scimitars and wooden clubs in their hands and intercepted everyone like crazy.
In just ten minutes, hundreds of orc corpses lay on the road that the dwarves walked.
Allen was at the end of the team, running quickly while killing the scum that blocked him.
As the team kept running, some orcs holding bows and arrows soon appeared in various places in the cave.
Arrows flew over the dwarf's head, and the team was in danger for a moment.
Faced with this situation, Allen decisively put away the long sword in his hand and took out the Noldor Sigil Bow.
He came to the center of the team, and under the cover of other dwarves, shot the orc archers.
After all, he doesn't know Legolas's gorgeous bow fighting skills. He can kill everyone with just a bow.
Under Allen's precise attack, these orc archers suffered heavy casualties, and no more bows and arrows attacked the team.
Everyone took this opportunity to speed up again and follow Gandalf's footsteps.
Just when everyone stepped onto a wooden bridge, the wooden deck suddenly cracked, and the Orc King appeared in front of everyone.
He waved the scepter in his hand and attacked Gandalf. The powerful force forced the gray robe wizard back.
At this time, behind everyone was a swarm of orcs, and in front of them was the orc king who blocked the road by himself.
Allen didn't want to wait for the big guy to say anything. He raised the talisman bow in his hand and shot an arrow at his head, nailing him to the bridge.
It can be regarded as revenge for the soldiers who sacrificed their lives over the past few years.
It's just that Allen forgot that the wooden bridge under everyone's feet could not withstand the ravages of the Orc King's corpse.
It broke while shaking. Unprepared, he fell into the pit along with all his companions.
Fortunately, there were many dwarves underneath Allen, so he was not injured at this time.
Unfortunately, Allen, who was so shaken by the fall, just came to his senses.
The Orc King's huge corpse pressed heavily on everyone, causing secondary damage to everyone.
Even Allen sensed the danger before that and struggled to turn over
But his left arm was still suppressed, and waves of heartbreaking pain hit Allen's mind.
