Dol Guldur, a mysterious abandoned castle, was also called Armonrank in the Second Age, which means "bare hill" because there were no trees growing on this hill at all.
At that time, the forests around Dol Guldur were still the home of the woodland elves, who were separated from their kin living in Lothlórien across the river.
Sindar from Linton, father of Thranduin, grandfather of Golas, and Oropher, king of the woodland at that time, ruled here.
Due to the rapid rise of the dark power entrenched in Mordor, Oropher was worried about the safety of his people, so he had to move away.
But now Dol Guldur has been occupied by Sauron. In the past, apart from serving his minions, even the nimble birds were not willing to stay here any longer.
Today, a coalition army composed of humans and elves, numbering about two thousand people, approached the castle and openly challenged Sauron.
And now, this army belonging to the good forces, led by Lady Galadriel, is confronting a group of Uruk orcs in the open space near Dol Guldur.
It turned out that after Azog led most of Dol Guldor's forces northward to the Lonely Mountain, the members of the White Council unanimously believed that the time for a decisive battle had come.
With Lady Galadriel as the supreme commander, she led the members of the White Council and the allies they invited across the Anduin River and arrived near Dol Guldur.
This immediately caught Zoro's attention.
At this time, the Dark Lord finally realized that while he was plotting against others, someone was also plotting against him.
Faced with such a dangerous situation, the cunning Sauron knew that recalling Azog's troops was no longer a realistic idea.
But the Dark Lord was not afraid of the Bai Dao Hui's attack.
Because a long time ago, this dark lord had prepared an escape route for himself in Mordor in the east.
That was his base camp, the place where he worked hard. Dol Guldur, the castle in the Black Forest, was just a sub-base involving Galadriel.
Now, the White Council has arrived at the city. Sauron does not want to show weakness to them, but sends out all the power in his hands to face his enemies head-on.
Back then, Sauron's army was defeated by the Númenóreans at their peak, and he himself was captured on the island of Númenor and became a prisoner.
He was not afraid at that time. He just spent a little time to bewitch the king there and made most of the Númenóreans to become followers of Morgoth. Sauron also seduced them and brazenly attacked them.
Valinor launched an attack.
He didn't have any fear at that time, and now the few formidable enemies in front of him were not enough to allow him to escape back to Mordor in a state of disgrace.
He had never thought about relying on orcs to hold on. Not to mention that the castle had been abandoned for a long time and had no defensive walls or supplies.
Even if he has everything, Sauron will not show weakness in front of these enemies. He is still the strongest here and the dark lord of this era.
The Dark Lord hiding in Dol Guldur, no matter how proud he was, he did not show up in person at this time.
Instead, he sent thousands of Uruks and the most terrifying servants around him, the nine Nazgûl, to lead them.

But these forces, which he considered to be already very strong, did not cause too much trouble to the coalition forces of the White Alliance.
Because Sauron didn't know how powerful the power he faced at this time was.
At the beginning of the battle, Lord Glorfindel, the Golden Flower Lord invited by Lord Elrond, took action.
This elf of the Noldor tribe has strength comparable to that of Maia. He is handsome, tall and tall, and his golden hair shines in the sun.
Standing behind Elrond, after seeing all the enemies appear, he took two steps forward and came to the side of the Noldor princess.
In front of the beautiful Lady Galadriel, Glorfindel lowered his head respectfully and asked: "Your Highness, can I take the first step to deal with those minions of darkness?"
Lady Galadriel, whose whole body seemed to be exuding soft light, looked at the outstanding elf of the Noldor clan with a smile, nodded and said: "No need to be so polite, Glorfindel, the messenger of Valar, you can do whatever you want.
Your mind acts.”
Lord Golden Flower, who received Lady Galadriel's permission, raised his head and walked towards the Orc troops.
This legendary elf slowly walked out of the coalition's ranks. His figure seemed to become taller and taller at this moment, and his handsome face showed nobility.
After taking two or three more steps, the elf's whole body began to emit a rich white light. The white light became brighter and brighter as he walked, and began to shine towards the orc army.
In an instant, the Nazgûl, who were standing at the forefront of the orc army, were immersed in this white light. They were incorporeal and had already begun to tremble after seeing Glorfindel.
Now, even though they were wearing cloaks, they were still roaring in pain under the strong white light. Slowly, they seemed to turn into a wisp of blue smoke and fled back to their master, Sauron in panic.
around.
The thousands of Uruks who had lost their command felt that the weapons in their hands were getting heavier and heavier, and their breathing became more and more difficult. The closer the Uruks were to Glorfindel, the stronger this feeling became.
They also have dark magic from Sauron. Although this magic cannot offset the power released by the Golden Flower Lord, it can fill the Uruks' hearts with anger and no fear.
Under the dark magic, the restless Uruks finally couldn't bear it anymore after feeling that their power was weakened. They roared and rushed down the hillside, running towards the coalition of humans and elves.
The first thing to greet them was a shower of arrows. The elves and Dúnedain rangers, with their sharp eyes and superb shooting skills, wantonly took the lives of the Uruks. In a short period of time, the Uruks were killed.
Rook's formation was in shambles.
As the Uruk formation approached, Lord Elrond drew out his shining sword, and the elven inscriptions on it seemed to flicker with fire.
"Prepare weapons."
As Lord Elrond shouted, the warriors behind him also drew their weapons and followed Lord Elrond to charge towards the enemy's troops.
Wearing elite armor, the White Council coalition forces, led by Lord Elrond, collided fiercely with the Uruks who rushed over.
The moment the two missiles came into contact, Uruk's team suffered huge casualties.
Under the illumination of white light, the allied forces of the White Alliance seemed to burst out with endless power in their bodies, and their hearts were filled with fearlessness.
As they quickly approached Uruk, they did not care about the attacks of these enemies. Instead, they waved their weapons and slashed at the enemy's vital points. The enemies who were hit fell to the ground one after another.
At this time, the Uruks were very weak. As they approached the coalition forces, relying on the anger in their hearts, they frantically smashed the weapons in their hands at the humans and elves in front of them.
Even if they hit the enemy's armor with all their strength, they would only make a clanging sound and leave shallow marks on the fine armor, unable to harm the humans and elves being protected at all.
The coalition forces of the White Council did not pause at all, constantly slashing and killing the Uruks in front of them, and charging forward all the time. Under their charge, the enemies in front of them suffered heavy casualties, and they were simply unable to stop them.
The slaughter of humans and elves.
In this way, the coalition of humans and elves penetrated the formation of the Uruks all the way, like a white light, piercing into the darkness, killing all the orcs blocking their way.
At this time, Sauron no longer paid attention to this unsuspicious battle. He devoted more power to restoring his servants, the nine Nazgûl who had been driven away by Glorfindel.
As the effects of dark magic weakened, even the well-disciplined Uruks became frightened and retreated under such an unstoppable attack by the coalition forces.
These half-orcs who had not been killed plunged into the vast black forest in fear, running away in panic, as if they could save their lives in this way.
This battle, which was a foreplay, ended quickly.
The ordinary soldiers of the White Alliance Alliance were divided into small teams, following the traces of the orcs' escape, and pursued them deep into the black forest.
And Lady Galadriel, Gandalf, Saruman, Lord Elrond, Glorfindel and Radagast.
Most of the top combatants of the White Alliance Alliance did not participate in the duel just now. Instead, they drew out their weapons and set foot on the path in front of Dol Guldur together.
They kept moving towards the interior of the castle in a depressing and strange environment, and even the sun was unwilling to shine on this strange castle.
And the darkness spreading throughout the castle was also suppressing their strength and draining their spirit.
At this time, Mrs. Galadriel, who was in the center of the team, began to emit a brighter light. This light made everyone around her feel at ease and comfortable. They quickly got rid of the influence of darkness and continued to explore forward.
Gandalf, who was at the front of the team, held his cane in his left hand and Gramdrin in his right hand. The white-haired old man was muttering to himself and casting spells.
"The darkness hiding here, I order you to come forward quickly, I order you to show up quickly."
The spell cast by Gandalf has extraordinary effects. As the white light spreads, the wizard and his companions can see the trajectory of dark power.
The people of the White Council kept moving forward amidst Gandalf's spell, searching for the enemy hidden in the castle.
At this moment, the nine Nazgul who had been forced back by Glorfindel emerged from the void again.
They returned to their master, and with the help of the Dark Lord, they were now stronger and no longer even afraid of Glorfindel.
The goals of the nine Nazgûl were very clear. Under the orders of their master, they waved the weapons containing vicious power in their hands and attacked Lady Galadriel, who was exuding a faint light.
At this time, Gandalf, Saruman, Lord Elrond, Glorfindel, and Radagast all waved their weapons, intercepted the Nazgûl, and fought with them.
Together.
Even though these nine Ringwraiths were strengthened by their master, they still could not break through the interception of the White Council.
Under the protection of Gandalf and others, these servants of the dark power cannot approach Lady Galadriel.
Instead, they were repulsed several times by members of the White Council during the attack. After losing their strength, they escaped into the void again.
"boom"
Amidst the deafening sound, the nine Ring Spirits appeared from the void again. The difference was that a black figure standing in the flames appeared behind them.
That black figure was so dark and evil. Just standing there, the darkness exuding from his body, made these top figures from the good camp fall into imprisonment.
Gandalf, Saruman, Radagast and Lord Elrond looked at Sauron in front of them with solemn expressions. The body in the darkness was gradually losing strength, which made them unable to move.
Especially Saruman, his eyes contain fear, envy, jealousy, etc. I don't know what the white-robed wizard is thinking in his heart.
Glorfindel, who had almost exhausted his strength, looked at the enemy in front of him. Although he still had a little strength left, it was not enough to repel the darkness.
This evil figure looked at the people who could not move and laughed loudly, as if mocking their overestimation of their abilities. Clouds of black smoke rose from behind him and gradually enveloped the people.
Faced with such a critical moment, the shimmering Lady Galadriel stood up, holding a crystal bottle in her hand. The bottle contained a bright light, which was the light of the Star of Eärendil.
, that light comes from the Silmaril, from the Twin Sacred Trees.
The lady raised the crystal bottle, and she no longer looked like she was glowing when she raised the water bottle.
Her current image is both terrifying and beautiful, her whole body is filled with light, but her body seems to have fallen into darkness.
The bright light instantly cleared away the nine ring spirits in front of Sauron, constantly suppressing Sauron's power.
With the help of this power, the others finally got rid of Sauron's suppression.
Lady Galadriel's shocking words also echoed here.
"You have no power here!"
"Servant of Morgoth, you have no name, no face, no form."
"Return to the void where you belong!"
Following Lady Galadriel's words and her approaching step by step, Sauron roared in pain and ran towards the east in a gray shape.
Lady Galadriel also exhausted her strength in Sauron's confrontation and could barely stand. Lord Elrond quickly supported his mother-in-law.
With Sauron escaping.
The battle in Dol Guldur is finally over, and the Black Forest can enjoy at least ten years of peace after this battle.
After the battle, Gandalf embarked on the road to the Lonely Mountain alone. There were also his companions on the expedition there, and he could not abandon them.
Lord Elrond, after clearing out the remaining enemies in the Black Forest, led less than two thousand coalition troops the next day. He also headed north to prepare to support Lonely Mountain.
Anyone who is determined to resist the darkness cannot watch the orcs under Sauron occupy the Lonely Mountain.
Glorfindel accompanied Lady Galadriel and returned to Lothlorien. These two light elves had consumed too much power in this battle and were no longer suitable to join the battle again.
Following them was the dying Thrain II, whom Gandalf found in the dungeons of Dol Guldur.
Saruman returned to Isengard with his people. He promised to bring the news of Sauron's appearance to Gondor and assist Gondor and Rohan in fighting the darkness. However, in fact, he was already confused at this time.
.
The brown-robed wizard Radagast, on the advice of Gandalf, rushed towards the Misty Mountains, where he planned to go to seek help from the eagles.
