Helm's Deep.
The inner wall of the Horn Castle, in the busy corridor.
"Morgan..."
The sound coming from behind stopped the three of Morgan, Legolas and Gimli who were returning from the outer city wall.
The three of them turned their heads and saw Eowen, who was wearing a slightly tight blue slim-fitting dress, striding towards the three of them with a not-so-good look on her face.
"Well..."
Looking at Eowen with a warm and angry look on his face, Gimli immediately looked away, rolled his witty little eyes, and immediately said: "Morgan, the princess is here to see you, so we are leaving first."
Gimli said, pulling Legolas who was standing aside stupidly and walked forward.
"etc..."
Legolas was about to speak out, but Gimli ignored him. Over the past few days, he had finally seen something between Morgan and the Rohan princess in front of him.
Although his usual reactions are a bit too stubborn, that doesn't mean he's stupid.
Just like now, he could find some strange things about Princess Rohan and Morgan before, but his elf companion Legolas obviously didn't notice this.
This made Gimli feel intellectually superior and proud.
"hey-hey..."
Only when Legolas was far away from Morgan did Gimli let go.
"What are you doing?"
Legolas asked immediately.
"Don't you notice there's something different between them?"
"It's just embarrassing for us to stay."
Gimli said with a smile.
"What do you mean it's different? It's just that the relationship is a little better."
"They're all human, there's nothing weird about that."
Legolas had eaten more fruit than Gimli had eaten over the years, and he couldn't understand what Gimli meant.
But in his opinion, the relationship between Morgan and the Rohan princess Eowen is only slightly better.
How long have they followed Gandalf to the Kingdom of Rohan?
These days, Morgan is basically with them. Morgan and the princess have only chatted a few times in total, and they have never been together in private.
How could something happen to these two people?
Morgan was powerful and his reputation had spread early. In addition to his extraordinary handsome figure, it was not surprising that he was admired by human princesses of the same race.
What's more, Legolas believed in Morgan, and he believed in Morgan's relationship with his sister Tauriel.
Therefore, he didn't think anything happened between Morgan and Princess Rohan.
But he was a little dissatisfied with Jin Li who was making random guesses. He immediately said, "There is nothing between them. Don't talk nonsense."
"Gimli, shall we continue the competition this time?"
"Compared to what?"
"Of course it's more important than who kills more enemies before the end of the battle."
"I have agreed to this a long time ago."
"Wait a minute, let's add some lottery bets this time."
"Oh, well...what's the bet?"
"I'm still thinking..."
...
"Morgan..."
Eowen strode over, looked at Morgan and said angrily: "I was arranged to hide in the cave behind like other women and children."
[Jinghui Cave: Also known as "Aglarond" is a spectacular gem cave, located under the White Mountains, behind the Horn Castle of Helm's Deep Valley. The Jinghui Cave stretches deep into the mountains, with many tunnels, stairs and halls. Densely covered, the topography of the caves allowed them to withstand enemy attacks for long periods of time, making them an ideal storage place and refuge for Rohan. 】
Morgan looked away from the two companions who were walking away. Looking at Eowen, who looked angry and had an aggressive tone, he immediately understood the meaning of her words.
"Well...this task is very important and very honorable."
Morgan looked at Eowen, his mind racing at high speed, and then he spoke after careful consideration.
"Is this an honorable mission?"
"You want me to take care of the children like those women?"
“Food and bed for the men after the war?”
"You think this is an honorable and important mission?"
"I don't think so!"
"No matter how well I complete such a task, I don't think I can get any honor?"
"This is not what I want."
Eowen immediately shook her head and objected, her tone firm.
"Princess, even if you don't get the honor, your bravery and dedication are still needed."
“Who else can your people rely on as their last line of defense?”
Morgan looked down at Eowyn, who was shorter than him, and spoke seriously.
He knew that this princess looked beautiful and weak, but she actually had a stronger competitiveness, honor, and inner strength than most men.
This also leads to the reason why Morgan, who is full of honor, has a strong attraction to Eowen.
Morgan is Eowyn's perfect type.
"No, I think there is a more suitable place for me and that is the battlefield."
"Let me fight with you!"
Eowen immediately shook her head and looked at Morgan as she spoke seriously.
"Sorry, this is not an order I can give."
Morgan shook his head and was about to leave, but Eowen reached out and grabbed the corner of his elf cloak.
"Then you have no right to order anyone to defend the city."
"They fight side by side with you, they just don't want to be separated from you."
Eowyn looked angry and spoke, but when Morgan, who was pulled by the corner of his clothes, turned around and stood in front of her again.
Eowen's anger immediately dissipated as quickly as she could see it, and she just looked at Morgan and continued: "Because they love you."
The words fell.
Not only was Morgan stunned, but Eowen herself was stunned.
"Sorry, I'm rude."
Realizing that she had said something wrong, a trace of panic flashed across Eowen's face. She immediately lowered her head and was about to turn around and leave.
at this time.
"Woooo..."
The rapid sound of the horn suddenly came from the highest platform of the Horn Rock Fortress in front.
In an instant, Morgan and Eowyn's expressions changed.
With such an urgent horn sound, is it most likely that Essinger's army has appeared?
Such thoughts immediately flashed through Morgan's mind, and he immediately turned around and ran towards the outer city with large strides.
Watching Morgan leave, Eowen's face turned red and white, then white and red again.
In the end, Éowyn did not insist on fighting as she had said.
Instead, he looked at Morgan's quickly disappearing figure, turned around and walked quickly towards the way he came.
At this moment, the rapid sound of the horn sounded throughout the entire Horn Castle.
Everyone with a little common sense changed their expressions.
Legolas and Gimli had just returned to their residence and were about to lie down when they heard the sound of the horn and quickly got up, picked up their sidearms and ran towards the outer city.
Morgan was very fast, and when he was about to rush into the Horn Rock Fortress, he saw several soldiers just running out of the front fortress.
Morgan quickly stepped forward and grabbed the leading soldier and asked, "What's going on with the horn sound?"
"Isinger's army arrived?"
Morgan asked in a deep voice. The captured warrior obviously knew this Morgan, who was appointed as one of the commanders by His Majesty the King not long ago.
The soldier quickly said: "Report to Lord Morgan... No, it's the elves. Elf reinforcements are coming from outside."
The words fell.
Morgan looked stunned.
"Elven reinforcements..."
Yes, although the battle in Helm's Deep in the memory plot did have support from the elves of Lothlorien in the Golden Forest.
But considering it's a movie, some exaggeration isn't too much.
If Morgan was still sitting in front of the computer or in the movie theater at this time.
He wouldn't feel anything unusual about this.
But Morgan is in this world.
He knew very clearly how far away Lothlorien was from Helm's Deep.
Reinforcements from the Golden Forest were to arrive at this time, so how long before had it been known that King Théoden of Rohan would choose to come to Helm's Deep?
According to the distance, Morgan secretly estimated it.
Then we came to a result: if we arrived at Helm's Deep at this time, Lothlorien's reinforcements had set off at least seven days ago.
And seven days ago.
At that time, Morgan, Gandalf Legolas and Gimli had just arrived in Rohan to rescue King Théoden.
At that time, Théoden had just woken up.
Did the Golden Forest predict at that time that Théoden would take refuge in Helm's Deep?
Then they directly sent out supporting elf troops?
Morgan was really confused and shocked by this.
He knows the general plot is his secret and the guarantee for his survival in this world.
But the rest of the world doesn't know that.
That's why Morgan felt that the reinforcements from the Golden Forest would not arrive.
Now, he was slapped in the face.
And Lady Galadriel should be the only one in Lothlorien who can predict and do this.
This shows how powerful Galadriel is, known as the most powerful elf in Middle-earth.
"Mr. Morgan, I need to inform His Majesty the King immediately."
"If nothing happens..."
At this time, the voice of the soldier in front of him woke up the distracted Morgan.
He reacted immediately, let go of his hand and said casually: "It's okay, you can go ahead."
Several soldiers left quickly.
Morgan walked quickly towards the strong fortress ahead.
Soon, when Morgan stood on the open platform of the fortress, he finally saw the elf troops walking at a steady speed in the distance ahead.
And the elf who led the team was the elf leader he knew, "Haldir."
"This is really unexpected..."
At this time, Éomer, who was responsible for the defense of the Horn Rock Fortress, appeared next to Morgan and sighed.
"Yeah, it's really surprising."
Morgan nodded, looking up into the distance with deep eyes.
It didn't take long.
When King Théoden arrives.
Both commanders Morgan and Éomer followed Théoden and stood in front of the gate of Horn Castle to welcome the arrival of elven reinforcements.
"Welcome to the Hornburg."
Looking at the neatly organized elf troops in front of him and the approaching elf leader, Théoden said with great gratitude: "This is really... so surprising."
"Meet King Théoden."
Haldir, the leader of the team, bowed slightly to King Théoden and said, "Lord Elrond of Rivendell asked me to bring you a message."
"There was an ancient covenant between elves and humans."
"At that time, our two clans fought side by side on the battlefield, living and dying together."
"This time, it is our honor to be able to fight with humans again..."
The words of the elf leader Haldir touched Théoden's heart.
At this time, he was very touched that he was willing to come to support.
Although there are not many elven reinforcements from Lothlorien, only three hundred in number.
But these three hundred elven allies gave great encouragement to the entire Horn Fort warriors.
This encouragement not only comes from spirit, but also from strength.
These three hundred elven warriors of Lothlorien are all elite men capable of shooting in close combat.
After some conversation, Théoden immediately prepared food for these allied warriors who came from afar.
Haldir chatted with Morgan Legolas.
They had known each other since Lothlorien, and they could still talk to each other.
After arranging Haldir and his group of elf warriors.
There was plenty of light in the eastern sky and it was morning.
Legolas and Gimli were persuaded by him to take the time to rest because they had nothing to do.
As the commander of the outer wall, Morgan himself was asked to prepare for the war one after another. Especially the new method of defending the city that Morgan suddenly proposed yesterday, which required Morgan to give guidance and accept the "golden juice."
The Horn Keep was extremely busy.
Outside Helm's Deep.
In the vast wilderness.
A man and a horse were running fast through the wilderness.
Far behind him, at the end of his sight, was a dark army formation that was constantly moving.
The figure on the horse looked back from time to time to look at the black army in the distance behind him.
Then he urged the horses under him to run forward faster.
This is of course Aragorn from Gondor.
He sent Boromir, who was seriously injured and unconscious, back to Gondor.
Aragorn soon left Gondor and headed west towards Rohan.
A few days ago, Aragorn arrived at Edoras, the royal capital of Rohan that Gandalf had mentioned before.
But they found that the city gate was locked and completely deserted.
Aragorn, who had a certain understanding of Rohan, then rode towards Helm's Deep.
Originally, he was not sure whether Gandalf Morgan and his entourage, as well as the residents of Rohan Edoras, had come to Helm's Deep.
But after seeing the black army at the end of the line of sight behind them.
Aragorn was sure that Gandalf Morgan and the others must be in Helm's Deep at this time.
"Bang bang bang..."
The sound of horse hooves rumbled, and Aragorn accelerated towards the direction of Helm's Deep Valley.
When it gets dark.
Snowflakes were falling again in the gloomy sky.
In the afternoon.
Standing at the mouth of the valley, Aragorn finally saw the huge military fortress deep in the valley ahead.
...
Inside the Horn Castle.
Morgan was at the corner of the outer city wall, inspecting the blocked drain he had ordered to go down yesterday.
Legolas's voice suddenly came from behind: "Morgan, who do you think is coming?"
Morgan turned his head and saw a tall human man with long, dirty black hair and a dusty body appearing in his sight. Who else could it be if it wasn't Aragorn?
"When did you arrive?"
"Just now."
"How did you find this place?"
"Of course I guessed it..."
"How is Boromir's injury?"
"The situation was not good. I still couldn't wake up when I left."
"By the way, where is King Théoden?"
"I have important news for him."
"I'll take you."
Morgan said and explained again, then he took Aragorn, Legolas, Kingli and several other friends and strode towards the inner wall.
"Ten thousand troops?"
"You said that army numbered ten thousand?"
In the stone palace in the inner city, King Théoden looked at Aragorn and asked with a frown in disbelief.
"Yes, ten thousand troops, just a lot more!"
"Isengard has already mobilized in full force."
Aragorn said in a deep voice: "They are behind me. They will definitely arrive before nightfall at the latest."
The words fell.
The entire stone palace was silent.
For a while.
Théoden then looked at the leader of the guards beside him and ordered: "Go ahead, no matter if you are a man or a child, as long as you can pick up a weapon, you must be ready to fight before nightfall."
"Also, check the city gate's blockade again..."
Théoden said as he walked out quickly with the guards beside him.
Morgan immediately arranged for people to arrange food for the hungry Aragorn.
Know the time of attack of Essinger's army.
The entire Horn Castle became increasingly busy.
Time passed slowly.
When the sky completely darkened.
All the walls and high platforms of the Horn Castle were filled with soldiers who were ready for battle.
At nightfall.
Far ahead of Helm's Deep.
A vast, empty wasteland.
Suddenly, a slight shaking sound came from the distance.
Everyone looked up and saw at the end of their sight, huge black shadows burning into the shape of fire dragons appeared at the entrance of the canyon.
At this moment, the orc army from Isengard Saruman finally arrived.
