At the end of the line of sight are the snow-capped mountains that remain unchanged all year round.
On the vast wilderness plains.
The cold winter wind howls constantly.
The migration procession from Rohan Edoras is long.
On both sides of the team, Rohan's hussars on war horses protected and directed the huge and bloated team forward.
Center of the team.
This is where King Théoden and Éowyn and the ministers of the Kingdom of Rohan are.
Morgan Legolas Kingli, who was favored by Théoden, was also among them.
"So are there any female dwarves in your tribe?"
Éowyn walked on the edge of the team, and beside her was the dwarf Gimli, who was reluctantly riding on the tall horse.
"I don't think I've ever heard of it?"
Eowen asked with interest as she looked at the dwarf on horseback next to her.
"It's like this. It's hard for people of your race to see female dwarves."
"This is because the voices and looks of male dwarves and female dwarves are about the same."
"So, they are generally recognized as male dwarves."
Gimli looked at Eowen beside him and explained.
In fact, "female dwarves" is the most frequently asked question by dwarves who travel.
However, although Jinli said that it would not be short before he came out this time.
But because his teammates and partners are all extraordinary beings, they naturally wouldn't ask him such an incompetent question.
This was the first time he was asked such a question, and his answer was extremely detailed.
Eowen immediately smiled when she heard Gimli's explanation and turned around subconsciously.
Not far behind, Morgan, who was walking alongside Théoden, naturally heard what Gimli just said.
He looked at Éowyn and said quickly in a low voice: "Beard."
He gestured and touched his short but thick beard and said: "The beards of female dwarves and male dwarves are different."
Eowen turned around with a vague understanding, and Gimli continued: "For this reason, many people think that there are no female dwarves at all."
"Some people even think that dwarves emerge from the ground..."
"Ha ha..."
Éowyn was amused.
Morgan, who was behind him, raised his lips slightly as he listened and thought to himself: "The ancestors of the Turin dwarves really came out of the ground."
"Of course, those are things only ignorant people say..."
Gimli was boasting.
At this moment, the tall horse beneath him seemed to be stimulated by something and suddenly accelerated and ran forward.
At this time, Jinli, who was short-handed and short-footed, couldn't sit still. As soon as the horse ran a few meters away, Jinli fell off the horse because his feet were too short to clamp on the horse's back.
Eowen, who was smiling happily, immediately exclaimed and ran forward when she saw this scene.
"It's okay, I'm okay, it's not a big problem..."
Gimli quickly stood up from the grass, refused Eowen's help, and said quickly: "I did it on purpose, I did it on purpose."
Gimli's performance made Morgan Legles behind him laugh.
We have been together for so long, and we all know Jin Li's face-saving character, and don't care.
Théoden looked at his niece who was smiling and burst into laughter. He turned to Morgan beside him and said, "I haven't seen Eowen smile so happily for a long time..."
"When she was a little girl, her father died on the battlefield, killed by orcs."
"Shortly after my father died, my mother fell ill and died due to excessive grief..."
"I have been taking care of the king since he was a child..."
"Her life shouldn't be like this..."
Théoden spoke with emotion.
As Morgan listened, he felt more and more the strength of the smiling Eowen in front of him.
She looks weak and beautiful on the outside, but she is extremely strong on the inside.
"call..."
Looking back at Eowen in the golden sunlight.
Morgan couldn't help but let out a long breath.
...
Fangorn Forest.
In a lush, deep, and extremely oppressive forest.
In front of a rock with clear water flowing.
Two short and lively figures were playing happily.
These two are naturally Merry and Pippin, two hobbits from Habbiton in the Shire.
Because a few days ago, they were captured by the orcs of Isengard. On the way to Isengard, the Rohan Cavalry attacked the orcs, allowing the two of them to escape into Fangorn Forest.
The most important thing is that they met the legendary Ent here, the oldest Ent "Treebeard".
[Ent: It is a kind of intelligent creature that looks like humans and trees. Their appearance is due to Vera's request, mainly to protect the trees from other creatures, especially dwarves. Therefore, Ent is also called "The Shepherd of a Hundred Trees"]
This is why even though Gandalf, with his four-man team of Morgan Legolas and Gimli, found traces of the two young hobbits, he did not take them away.
In Gandalf's words, it was fate that brought the two hobbits to Fangorn Forest.
"Give me a drink..."
"No..."
"Unless you admit that I'm taller than you!"
"Dream, don't even think about it..."
"Give it to me quickly..."
"No..."
Merry and Pippin were playing happily.
But they didn't notice that the huge rhizomes at the base of the towering tree beside them slowly moved towards the two of them.
Soon, with an exclamation, Merry tripped and fell to the ground.
as Pippin went up to help.
The thick moving roots soon entangled the two hobbits tightly.
The two looked horrified and shouted loudly.
Not long after, the shouts of the two people called out a huge tree trunk-shaped creature with a height of five meters, Ent Treebeard.
"Let them go..."
"You shouldn't have woken up..."
"Go to sleep..."
Treebeard, who spoke tree language, rescued the two hobbits.
Merry and Pippin climbed onto Treebeard's tall shoulders and immediately hugged Treebeard's branches tightly, their faces filled with fear.
"Don't run around. The forest is waking up and it's not safe here."
"These trees are now wild and dangerous..."
"They have anger built up in their hearts..."
"They attack creatures that come close to them..."
"Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer of our clan."
There are no Ents to manage them...that's why they become like this..."
Treebeard spoke slowly.
But after spending these days together, the two hobbits had become accustomed to Treebeard's way of speaking.
"You obviously live a long life..."
At this time, the problem baby Pippin suddenly asked: "Why are there so few people in the tribe?"
"Where are you Ent kids?"
After the words fell, Treebeard was silent for a while, and then he sighed: "It has been a long, long time since any Ent child was born..."
Merry was equally puzzled: "Why?"
Treebeard: "We lost the Entwives."
Pippin: "Ah, that's such a shame. How did they die?"
Treebeard: "No, they're not dead... We lost her and we can never find them again..."
Pippin: "Maybe we've seen... what do they look like?"
Treebeard: "I don't remember anymore..."
...
A vast wilderness.
As the huge migration from Edoras drew closer to Helm's Deep, the road became rough and difficult to walk.
Continuous mountain peaks and rocky hills.
The speed of this extremely bloated and extremely long giant team became slower and slower.
Been walking for three days in a row.
All the residents were exhausted.
But the imminent threat from the Dunlunds and Isengard Orcs prevented Théoden from giving the order to rest.
He can only urge his people to move forward.
Fortunately, at this time, everyone was not far from Helm's Deep, the strongest castle in Rohan.
The sky was overcast.
There are heavy lead clouds in the sky.
"Huhu..."
The howling cold wind blew in my face.
Everyone on the horse could not help but wrap their clothes tightly.
Morgan led the black horse Carrot and walked in the middle of the team. Feeling the increasingly dark sky, he couldn't help but look up at the sky.
"That's a sign it's going to snow."
At this time, Legolas beside him also looked at the gloomy sky and suddenly said.
"I don't know if we can get to that valley before it snows."
Gimli muttered as he walked beside the two companions.
Morgan looked back and said, "We should be able to get there before dark."
Jinli asked: "How do you know?"
Morgan looked at Gimli in confusion: "Didn't His Majesty Théoden tell us during breakfast?"
"you forgot?"
"Of course not."
Jin Li looked stunned and immediately shook his head: "I'm just testing you..."
at the same time.
The front of the migration team like a long twisted dragon.
In the distance, five hussars were riding their horses up a huge hill in front of them, looking at the road ahead of the team.
at this time.
"Swish swish..."
Several arrows shot out with a roar and a sound of breaking through the air.
The next second.
Four muffled sounds came one after another.
Three of the five hussars fell to the ground, one was shot in the arm, and the last one reacted quickly and lay down on his horse to escape the arrow.
"careful!"
"Enemy attack!"
The shrill exclamations of the hussars immediately sounded.
at the same time.
Not far away on the top of a mountain.
Several orc warg knight leaders with ferocious and ugly faces, riding on tall tall gray-black ferocious wargs, were pointing forward and yelling: "Go ahead, kill them!"
The words fell.
A large group of black orc wolf knights immediately rushed towards the direction of the moving team, screaming strangely.
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
The only hussar warrior who had escaped the arrow immediately rode towards the huge group behind him and roared with all his strength.
Following closely behind him, the hussar warrior with an arrow in his arm and a pale complexion immediately picked up the horn at his waist and blew it hard.
"Woo..."
"Woooo..."
The piercing sound of the horn soon resounded throughout the huge team in Edoras.
Morgan, Legolas, and Kingli, who were chatting with each other, changed their expressions when they heard this voice.
King Théoden, who was following the three men, immediately changed his expression when he heard this voice.
"what happened?"
"what happened?"
"Enemy attack!"
"Orcs!"
"There's an orc ahead!"
"Protect Your Majesty!"
"Hurry up!"
Loud roars kept coming from the mouths of the galloping hussars in front.
The entire huge migration team immediately became turbulent and restless with the sound of horns and the nervous roar coming from the front.
"Legolas, Gimli!"
Before he could hear the exclamations coming from the front, Morgan's expression changed slightly and he immediately shouted to the two companions beside him. He immediately got on the horse and ran forward.
Legolas reacted equally quickly. When he heard Morgan's voice, he immediately reached out and pulled Gimli to get on the horse together.
"Don't pull me, I can ride on my own!"
Gimli immediately shouted and broke away from Legolas's arm, turned around and tried to get on the horse's back.
Seeing this, Legolas no longer cared about Gimli, and immediately clamped his legs on the horse's back, then followed Morgan and rushed towards the front of the team.
"Bang bang bang..."
"Bang bang bang..."
At this moment, the entire huge migration team immediately heard the sound of horse hooves on both sides.
A large number of hussars guarding the huge team rushed towards the front of the signal under the leadership of their leaders.
Although the migration and refuge team from Rohan Edoras was very large and long.
However, there were originally nearly a thousand warriors guarding Edoras, plus two thousand hussars led by Rohan's third marshal Éomer.
There were nearly three thousand hussars in total.
Although it is definitely not much for a kingdom like Rohan.
However, the escorts are not too small for a large migration team.
However, for the orcs who always win with numbers, a force of three thousand is nothing.
"Your Majesty, your injury is just fine. It's better to leave first..."
"Let go!"
"My soldiers are fighting, how can I hide behind them?"
"Eowen, this is very close to Helm's Deep. I order you to be the leader and lead our people there. You must move quickly!"
"I can go into battle too!"
"no!"
"Just think it's for me, you have to do this, hurry up!"
After quickly finishing his explanation, Théoden pulled the reins and shouted to the hussars behind him: "Let's go!"
"Bang bang bang..."
Morgan rode the black horse Carrot and bolted forward quickly.
Not long after, when he rushed over the huge hillside in front, he saw a large group of Orc Warg Knights fighting with the Rohan Hussars on the hilly slopes far ahead.
On the other side, a large number of Edoras residents were frightened and screamed.
"Orc Warg Knight..."
At this time, Legolas's voice came quickly along with the sound of horse hooves.
Watching the same number of hussars quickly fall into a disadvantage under the attack of the orc warg knights, causing casualties one after another.
"let's go!"
Morgan shouted, drew out the elf sword from his waist and rushed towards the hills below.
Legolas followed.
"Wait for me!"
At this time, Gimli's shouts came from behind. He was lying on the horse with a red face, grabbing the reins and saddle and controlling the horse to run wildly towards his companions in front.
"Whizzing..."
Morgan had just approached the edge of the battlefield when several arrows shot out from the opposite hillside.
Swing your sword to cut off the incoming arrows.
Morgan touched the neck of the black horse Carrot, who was on the battlefield for the first time, with one hand and said softly: "Don't be afraid!"
Then he brandished his sword and rushed into the chaotic battlefield.
"boom!"
Gold and iron clash, and fire suddenly appears!
The oncoming half-orc warg knight waved his battle ax and collided with Morgan's elf sword, and was knocked off the wolf's back.
With Morgan's current strength, dealing with these warg knight scouts, even if they are elite units in the orc army, is a waste!
"Bang bang bang!"
"Puff puff!"
Wherever Morgan rode the black horse Carrot, one orc knight turned upside down, blood splattered everywhere, stumps flew everywhere, and corpses lay everywhere.
