North of Modo.
late at night.
A crescent moon hangs high in the sky.
The dim moonlight enveloped the earth.
In the rolling mountains, there is a dilapidated building with man-made ruins.
Two small figures were covered with thick blankets, each curled up in the corner, back to back.
"Huhu..."
The extremely cold wind whimpered.
What no one knew was that neither of the two small figures hidden in the darkness fell asleep.
These two are naturally Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee.
Since encountering the betrayal of his partner Boromir and the attack of the orcs in the forest on the edge of Laros Falls.
After thinking everything through, Frodo decided to leave the expedition and embark on a journey to Mordor alone.
Sam followed Frodo loyally.
The two went through hardships and supported each other all the way to Modo.
But just yesterday.
Frodo and Sam had a huge argument.
That is because of "Gulu".
Yes, Gollum, the hobbit "Sméagol" Gollum who has been following the Fellowship of the Ring since the mines of Moria and was tortured by the Lord of the Rings until he became inhuman and turned into an ugly monster.
When Frodo and Sam left the team to go to Mordor.
Sensing that the danger was greatly reduced, Gollum took the initiative to appear and began to snatch Frodo's Lord of the Rings.
But Gollum not only failed to grab the Ring, but because of his failure, he was caught by Frodo and Sam and tied up with the elven rope given by Galadriel.
However, under Frodo's kind persistence, the miserable Gollum finally swore to lead the way for the two hobbits and gained Frodo's forgiveness.
From then on, I walked with two hobbits.
Frodo's quarrel with Sam today was because of Gollum;
And because of the reasons up to The Lord of the Rings;
And, as the two of them got closer to Modo and Mount Doom, the temptation and influence emitted by the Lord of the Rings became stronger and stronger.
In short, the two had a big fight about the Hobbit, but neither could convince the other.
"Huhu..."
The cold wind howled constantly.
Time passed slowly.
When the two little hobbits couldn't bear the huge fatigue and sleepiness caused by traveling during the day, they fell asleep.
In a dark corner not far away.
The short, ugly, hairless Gollum was staring at the two sleeping hobbits and kept whispering.
"We want it..."
"We need it..."
"We have to get the baby!"
"That was ours, they stole it from us!"
"Damn, cunning, hypocritical, despicable hobbit..."
"No, not Master!"
"Yes, they are the treasures of a group... They are hypocritical, they will lie to you, and they will hurt you!"
"But the master is our friend."
"No, you have no friends at all, no one will like you."
"No, no, I don't want to hear what you say, I don't want to hear it!"
"Don't listen? Humph, you are a liar and a thief!"
"I'm not..."
"You liar, thief, and murderer!"
"No...go away..."
"Go away? Hey hey hey hey..."
"I hate you, I hate you..."
"Can you be here without me?"
"Gulu...Gulu..."
"I saved us, it's all up to me!"
"We're all alive because of me!"
"No, not anymore?"
"What did you say?"
"Master will take care of us now, we don't need you anymore..."
"What?"
"We don't need you anymore."
"You leave and never come back."
"No! Don't even think about it!"
"Leave now and never come back!"
"No!"
"Leave now and never come back!"
"Leave now and never come back again!!!"
"Huh...huh..."
Gulu gasped and looked around.
Finally, he found that the figure that had been pestering him had disappeared.
Gollum cheered with great excitement: "It left, it really left, Smeagol is free..."
"Sméagol is free!"
...
West of Rohan.
On the huge peaks of the mountains outside Helm's Deep Valley.
The huge and bloated migration team from Rohan Edoras began to retreat down the mountain in panic.
"Bang bang bang..."
"Bang bang bang..."
The sound of horse hooves rumbled.
On the roads on both sides, a large number of heavily armed hussars were running towards the mountain peaks ahead under the leadership of King Théoden.
On the battlefield ahead.
"Whoosh..."
"Whoosh..."
Before Legolas could rush into the battlefield, arrows kept flowing in his hand, and one after another the Orc cavalry were shot off the wolf's back and fell to the ground.
But soon, Legolas rushed into the battlefield on horseback holding a long bow and arrows.
A tall and ferocious warg rushed from behind and suddenly pounced on Legolas on horseback.
Being thrown off his horse by the suddenly attacking warg, Legolas fell to the ground in a panic but did not panic. The arrow that failed to be shot in his hand quickly turned and was inserted into the arm of the warg in front of him. It was stabbed deeply into the eye socket.
"Roar..."
The warg, who was struggling crazily, roared a few words and quickly fell to the ground, twitching and died.
Legolas stood up and prepared to draw his bow again.
At this time, another ferocious warg pounced, and Legolas was thrown to the ground again.
After turning over and standing up, he had no choice but to abandon his bow and pull out the short knife on his back to face the warg.
"I am coming!"
The red-faced Gimli suddenly jumped up from the out-of-control horse, and rushed towards the orc warg knight rushing beside him. In an instant, the battle ax in his hand was also chopped down neatly.
"puff..."
The Orc Knight, who had half of his head blown off in an instant, immediately fell to the ground.
The Orc was hacked to death, and Gimli, who took the Orc's place, immediately grabbed the Warg's hair with one hand and was about to taste the feeling of riding a Warg.
next moment.
The ferocious warg reacted and immediately braked suddenly, and Gimli was immediately thrown high into the air. When he fell to the ground, there was still a handful of wolf fur in his hand.
"Xilulu..."
"Xilulu..."
The black horse Carrot didn't look like a horse on the battlefield for the first time. He screamed and raised his two front hooves high to kick the harassing warg over.
Morgan immediately seized the opportunity, swung the elf sword with a cold light and struck it on the back of the orc knight in front of him.
"boom!"
The long sword struck the armor on the back of the Orc Knight. Although it failed to break the armor, the huge force instantly cut the Orc Knight off the wolf's back.
Morgan immediately pulled the reins, and Carrot immediately reacted, turned his head, and stepped on the fallen Orc knight in two steps.
"puff..."
The orc who was stepped on by the carrot in the chest immediately spit out black blood.
Morgan immediately bent down, and the long sword in his hand passed neatly under the horse.
"Click..."
An ugly bloody head was cut off and rolled away a long way.
at this time.
"kill!"
The Rohan hussars led by King Théoden finally arrived.
"Bang bang bang..."
The chaotic rumble of horse hooves echoed throughout the battlefield.
With the addition of Morgan and Legolas' Jinli team, the situation on the battlefield where the Rohan Hussars were at a disadvantage against the Orc Warg Knights began to improve at an eye-catching speed.
At this time, the Rohan Hussars ushered in.
The hussars, who far outnumbered the orcs and warg knights, quickly flooded the entire battlefield.
Except for a few warg knights who reacted quickly and immediately turned and ran away when the large hussars arrived.
All other orcs and wargs were wiped out.
On the battlefield halfway up the mountain, the corpses of orcs, wargs, and hussars were scattered everywhere.
"boom!"
The dwarf Gimli struck the half-dead orc with an ax on the head. He raised his head and looked at Legolas walking towards him and couldn't help but ask: "How many enemies have you killed?"
"Eight..."
Legolas pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Are you only eight?"
Jinli immediately became happy when he heard this, and said with a slightly mocking tone.
Legolas immediately became upset and asked, "What about you?"
"How many more have you killed?"
"I..."
Jin Li looked stunned. He couldn't remember how many he had killed, so he could only say: "Wait a minute, I'll count..."
"One, two..."
"Five, six..."
"Six, so only six..."
Gimli muttered to himself, but when he saw Legolas standing motionless in front of him and waiting, he could only bite the bullet and said: "Six, only two of you are missing."
Listening to Gimli's confident words after losing, Legolas just hummed and shook his head.
Just as he was about to leave, Morgan came over holding the black horse Carrot.
Not being able to stand Legolas looking like this, Gimli immediately looked at Morgan and asked, "Morgan, how many of you are there?"
"What?"
"I ask you how many orcs and wolves you just killed?"
Seeing that Morgan didn't understand, Gimli immediately asked again: "How many?"
"Well..."
"I don't know the exact number, but the total number of orcs and wargs should be more than ten."
Morgan said casually.
At this time, he already understood what the two friends Gimli and Legolas were doing. It must be a head count competition.
This is not the first time they have compared each other like this.
"Eight is nothing special..."
Upon hearing Morgan's number, Gimli immediately looked at Legolas and muttered.
Legolas was completely speechless when he heard these words.
However, after being together for so long, he already knew Gimli's face-saving character, so he stopped talking to Gimli and walked towards the corpses of the orcs and wargs who were shot to death by bows and arrows.
The longbow he had just used was given to him by Lady Galadriel of Lothlorien, as were the arrows.
The arrows that were shot were all finely crafted, and the number was limited, so he wanted to take them back.
Time is running out.
The presence of a team of Orc-Warg scouts likely means that a large enemy force is behind.
King Théoden commanded the hussars to take away the bodies of his fallen warriors, leaving the bodies of orcs and wargs scattered on the ground.
These corpses are usually gathered together and burned.
But I definitely can’t care about it now.
When the first snowflakes begin to fall from the dark and gloomy sky.
Morgan followed the large army of hussars towards the Helm's Deep Valley ahead.
Originally the distance was not very far.
The residents of Edoras, frightened by the orcs and wargs, moved significantly faster.
When the large force of hussars caught up with the huge team.
Deep in the valley ahead, a huge Helm's Deep Fortress finally appeared in front of everyone.
The front of the line.
Eowen, who was busy directing the huge troop of residents to move forward, turned around and saw a large number of hussars walking quickly behind her after hearing the news of victory coming from behind.
She looked happy and immediately strode back.
Just facing the horsemen riding towards them, Eowen looked at the strange faces one by one, but she didn't find the person she was looking for, and her face gradually became a little anxious.
Not long after, King Théoden appeared in front of her, surrounded by his brother Éomer and a group of horse warriors.
A look of relief appeared on her face.
However, Eowen's eyes continued to look behind, searching for something.
Finally, at the rear of the heavily armed Rohan hussars, I saw a short dwarf, a slender elf with long flowing hair, and the last one who was tall and strong with a black ponytail and a full chin. Short beards are wildly handsome when it comes to human men.
Eowyn finally showed a hint of joy on her face.
Seeing Morgan's safe return, Eowen did not choose to step forward to say hello, but immediately turned around and strode towards the front of the team.
She will soon reach Helm's Deep Valley, and a large number of residents are still waiting for her to arrange settlement. She is pressed for time.
Morgan, who was riding on the black horse Carrot, was chatting with Legolas Gimli. When Eowen saw him, his perception became more and more sensitive. Naturally, he also saw the bright, bright, and radiant man standing in the middle of the crowd in front of him. The weak figure.
He saw the bright smile on her face.
He smiled too.
Only when she turned to leave.
Morgan couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, he suddenly felt coldness on his face.
When I raised my head, I realized that the snowflakes falling from the sky were gradually getting bigger and fluttering.
"hurry up..."
"It's finally here..."
"We are safe..."
"It's finally here, I can have a good sleep..."
"Oh my god, it's finally here..."
"It's safe, it's finally safe..."
Looking at the huge and majestic fortress in front of them, the faces of the residents of Edoras who had just escaped from the frightening attack by the orc warg cavalry showed various expressions such as joy, happiness, relaxation, etc. on their faces.
Helm's Deep, Hornburg Fortress!
For the people of Rohan and Edoras, it not only represents safety, but also complete trust and faith!
This is the lucky place of the Kingdom of Rohan.
Morgan, who was following the large migration team, now also saw clearly what the Helm's Deep Valley ahead looked like.
...
Essinger.
Upper level of Orthanc Tower.
In the black hall.
Grima was looking at Saruman who was sitting on the stone seat and kept saying: "I know there is a weakness in the high wall of Helm's Deep..."
"Although its outer wall is made of solid rock, there is a small drainage outlet in the corner of the outer wall..."
Grima didn't finish his sentence.
Outside the hall door, footsteps suddenly came.
Soon, a tall, strong, hideous and ugly figure walked into the black hall and said respectfully to Saruman on the stone seat: "Master, you are ready."
"very good..."
Saruman looked happy and immediately stood up and walked out of the stone palace.
Grima saw this and quickly followed.
Watching the white figure on the black tower appear momentarily.
"hold head high..."
"hold head high..."
"hold head high..."
The loud, thick, and passionate horn sound immediately resounded throughout Isengard.
Along with the sound of the horn, there was also the uniform roar of countless troops in the circular square below, which was dark and densely packed.
Saruman, who looked extremely satisfied, stood in front of the stone platform. He just raised his hand and the voices below immediately stopped.
At this moment, Grima, who was following behind, was stunned.
