It’s a new week of streaking, please give me more recommendations~~~
Dol Guldur's original name was Amon Lenk, which means "bare hill" because there are no trees on its top.
In the middle of the Second Age, Oropher, the Silvan Elf King of Mirkwood, and his people once lived around Amon Lanc, across the river from their relatives in Lothlórien Forest.
But Oropher was worried after hearing the rumors of Sauron's re-emergence, and led his people to move north three times. The ancient residence of Amon Lenk was thus abandoned.
Around 1050 of the Third Era, Sauron, who was defeated by the Last Alliance, transformed into a demonic shadow and descended on the southern part of the Black Forest, secretly gathering strength.
Around 1100 of the Third Era, the wise men discovered that the Shadow occupied Amon Lanc, and the hill was therefore renamed Dol Guldur, which means "Mountain of Witchcraft". But they mistakenly thought that the shadow was just one of the Ringwraiths, and did not suspect that it might be the Dark Lord Sauron himself.
Under the influence of Sauron, darkness and fear spread from Dol Guldur, and ferocious beasts and spiders ran rampant. The Silvan elves were forced to move north again under the leadership of Thranduil, the king of the Woodland Kingdom at the time.
In 2063 of the Third Era, the gray robe wizard Gandalf once dared to break into the gate of Dol Guldur in person to investigate. However, Sauron fled after hearing the news, temporarily evacuated Dol Guldur and lurked in the east. His identity was therefore No exposure.
After that, Central Continent enjoyed a long period of peace, known in history as the Warning Peace.
The Peace of War ended in the year 2460 of the Third Age, when Sauron returned to Dol Guldur with greater power and has remained so since.
In order to fight against the return of the evil shadow, the wise men immediately formed the White Council, which included wizards and elven lords.
Radagast the Brown has been ordered to monitor this fortress in the southwest of Mirkwood.
But everyone was deceived by Sauron's cover-up. The Dark Lord successfully hid under the nose of the Holy White Council, secretly accumulating power and developing his evil power, until he was finally broken by the appearance of the Dragonborn. His plan and hiding place.
October 10, 2931 of the Third Era.
The long, hot summer has passed, and the harvest season has arrived unknowingly.
After governing all things that grow and being called the Earth, the fruits of life sown by Yavanna, the Giver of Fruits, before the Era began to grow. Fruitful berries and all kinds of wild apples can be seen everywhere in the wilderness and forests. , grapes, pomegranate and hawthorn.
Fallen leaves covered the forest, giving the already gloomy dark forest a rotten atmosphere.
A thick foot wearing plate armor walked deep and shallow in this forest that seemed to be cursed. Next to him was a fellow dwarf with the same anxious expression.
"Big tree, still big tree." Orui muttered, venting his frustration on the branches on the roadside with the sharp ax in his hand. "To be honest, I hate this forest. There is nothing here except the dark and corrupt atmosphere and the dark sky! There is still mud under my feet. Well, this is too disgusting."
He pulled out the thick soles of his feet from the muddy forest path. They were covered with mud, rotten leaves and some dark unknown substances. You didn't even need to smell them to know that they exuded a disgusting smell.
Nori glanced at his brother helplessly. His situation is not much better. Dwarves don't like rivers and forests. They only like mountains and mineral deposits. The only advantage of forests and rivers is that they can provide power for their smelting. But at other times, dwarves do not like these two. Thanks for not being sensitive.
Elves are different.
Especially the Silvan elves of Karasgarathon and the Woodland Kingdom.
These descendants of the Nandor elves who have never seen the glory of the Twin Sacred Trees (the elves who stayed halfway when the three ancient elves moved westward) are much ruder and temperamental than the Noldor elves and Falas elves in Linton. The above may be of the same origin, but in fact, if you look closely, you can still see the clues.
But because of this, these elves living in the forest are more suitable to fight the jungle in dark caves than the Faras elves living by the sea.
I saw that the elves of the Woodland Kingdom headed by Legolas often disappeared in the dense jungle. The muddy paths in the forest seemed to pose no obstacle to them, and their steps were as light as feathers.
The armor on their bodies didn't even make a sound, and their green cloaks provided them with cover.
If you are not careful, even the Dragonborn will quickly lose their presence.
The only ones who can compare with these woodland kingdom elves who feel as comfortable and light as home are the elves from Karasgarazon.
Led by the twins, these guys in gray cloaks marched at a speed that was almost as fast as the elves under Legolas.
Only the poor dwarves were deeply trapped by the poor terrain environment of the Dark Forest. They marched hard while cursing and muttering.
This commotion quickly attracted the attention of the upper echelons of the coalition forces.
Thorin rode one of the few horned sheep and rushed to Dragon and Gandalf. He said a little embarrassedly: "Dwarves are not suitable for marching and fighting in the forest. We have broad and strong feet." With strong palms, it is more suitable for charging in plains and mountains."
As the Holy Spirit walking on this continent, the light of Valinor on Nahal caused the trees in this forest to automatically avoid it, and the golden horse's hooves stepped on the muddy road without leaving a single footprint.
So Dragon Byrne said with a smile when he had time: "When it comes to fighting on the plains, aren't humans more suitable than dwarves?"
As a result, Arazon next to him shrugged and showed a kind smile.
Being teased, Thorin could only smile bitterly.
This was almost the only laughter of the coalition forces in this dark forest.
Soon, following the leadership of the Woodland Kingdom and the elves of Karasgaraz, the coalition passed through the black fir jungle, where the branches were rotten and withered, and the trees were fighting with each other, and arrived in front of a rocky hill.
Then everyone was stunned by the eerie ruins in front of them.
On top of the tall and steep rock peaks, a large ruins of an ancient castle stood here. A long road paved with stones connected the castle with the outside world.
Various dungeons, pits, claustrophobic corridors, and steep stairs can be vaguely seen everywhere in the ruined walls of the castle. These places are all covered by twisted thorns, and an unknown black gas is rising from them.
In addition, the sky was covered with dark clouds, there was no sound of people and animals everywhere, the cold wind was blowing, and all the surrounding firs were withered and withered. It seemed abnormal.
special.
Although Dragon Byrne does not understand magic, his eyes can see through the fog here before the wizard.
In his eyes, the castle is much more strict than in the eyes of outsiders. Not only were the city walls full of horrified orcs, it also had a city gate.
It looks very strong, with the entire body made of black iron.
Coupled with dense shooting holes and towering turrets, the defense is still guaranteed.
In addition, the castle is connected by a long stone road. The only way to enter and exit is through this narrow stone road. There are high cliffs on both sides of the stone road. If the army attacks hard, the losses will definitely be huge.
Of course, this is just normal.
The castle in front of me seemed to be shrouded in a strange layer of fog. This layer of fog magically made the castle look much worse than it actually was.
Obviously this is the "deception" that Brown-robed Radagast said.
Looking at the horrified orcs on the city wall.
Dragon Byrne said this to Gandalf the Gray and Radagast the Brown: "Even I can smell the evil here from a long distance. What have the White Council been busy with all these years? "
At that time, Dragon Byrne had already deliberately tricked out the White Council's affairs from the wizard's mouth, so it was not unexpected for him to ask this question.
The wizards all had wry smiles on their old faces, and Gandalf even hesitated to speak.
"The white-robed wizards always thought that this place was just a scabies disease." Glorfindel was also a member of the Holy White Council. He couldn't help but defend the two wizards.
"Do the elves think so too?" The Dragonborn glanced at him.
Glorfindel fell silent.
Shaking his head, Dragon Byrne asked no more questions, understanding that the elves also had the mentality of doing less than doing more, and did not really regard the evil here as a serious concern.
However, the woodland kingdoms that were really threatened by this chose to relocate one after another, and finally allowed the evil here to grow.
Look around and make sure the elves are basically in place.
Dragon Byrne thought for a moment and nodded to the wizard.
He didn't think Sauron was still here, but Gandalf had a good saying. Destroying these evil strongholds could effectively reduce the threat posed by this demon king, so let's attack the city.
This seems to be a signal.
In the mist that the coalition forces couldn't see, a familiar figure was pacing back and forth restlessly.
The King of Darkness is here!
Bolg, the son of the pale orc Azog, the new half-orc commander-in-chief clenched the hammer in his hand, fear and ferocity filling his ugly face.
He caught up.
The fire-breathing dragonborn is catching up!
Bolger held on to the cold female wall of Dolgudu, shouting crazily in his cunning heart. He somewhat understood why the master suddenly disappeared during this period.
It turned out that the master had expected it and he escaped first.
Bolger's frightened eyes involuntarily met the golden vertical pupils of the dragonborn riding on the back of Holy Spirit Nahar.
As a result, the half-orc stood stunned for a moment.
Like a stone sculpture.
"The evil spirit hiding here, show up quickly!" The wizards once again joined forces to cast a spell. The loud voice was like thunder in the sky, and like a majestic king, the layer of fog wrapped in Dolgu capital boiled. .
Panic began to spread like a virus among the already restless orcs.
These cowardly and ferocious fallen creatures screamed, whispered, and looked at the tall pale orc uneasily. But they found that the pale orc who was supposed to be commanding them was standing on the top of the city like a stone sculpture, motionless.
"The leader is dead! He was turned into a stone sculpture by the wizard!"
One of the orcs screamed.
As a result, these stupid guys became even more frightened, and the timid ones even began to drop their weapons and prepare to escape.
At this time, the wizards' spells reached a critical moment. The gray-robed wizard said loudly: "In the name of the great king, I order you to show up quickly!"
As he spoke, he raised his staff high and struck it hard. A huge white light started from him and pushed towards Dolgudu at the end of the stone road!
The brown-robed wizard followed closely behind, raising his staff high and then giving it a heavy blow. "In the name of the Queen of the Earth, I order you to show up quickly!"
The second huge white light emerged again and pushed towards Dolgudu.
As a result, as if the bubbles had been popped, the layer of fog shrouding Dolgudu was jointly lifted by the wizards, and an even more eerie and terrifying cave suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
On the city wall, the orcs screamed in terror.
The originally silent forest suddenly became lively.
The elf was very surprised, but he was mentally prepared. The dwarves and humans looked at this magical scene in stunned silence, with their mouths wide open and speechless.
"attack!"
Dragon Born looked away, and he saw a familiar figure. Thinking of the arrow, the Dragonborn felt that maybe this trip was not in vain?
Only then did Bolger wake up from his sculptural state.
It shook its head in confusion before realizing what happened.
Seeing that the coalition forces were still launching an attack, the half-orc, who was more cunning (cowardly) than Azog, changed his expression and shouted in the black language of Mordor: "Kill them! Kill these stinky elves with pointed ears, the master is here Look at us!"
The orc, who had almost collapsed, finally calmed down somewhat. Of course, it could also be that it was frightened by the owner it spoke of.
They trembled and pushed towards the wall, drew their crossbows, and started shooting.
But they didn't realize that after urging these timid compatriots to die, Bolger himself secretly slipped down from the city wall and ran all the way to the deeper underground of Dolgudu.
It was frightened.
First it was the dragon roar, then the dragon flame, and now even his eyes are filled with terrifying magic power. Just by looking at it, you can't help but become his servant!
Orcs are helpless against such a being.
When Bolger came back to his senses, he only had one thought in his mind: If the master wants to escape, then why can't I?
ah.
If Sauron knew that his newly promoted Orc commander was actually such a guy, I wonder if he would be so angry that he would come back?
But there's no way, that's what half-orcs are like, expecting them to really fight for you is a joke.
After bypassing countless damp and cold stone steps, Bolger finally came to an icy cave.
"Password!"
Several tall orcs with ferocious faces came out of the dark corner, holding dark weapons in their hands and shouting menacingly.
They are the orcs responsible for guarding this place, and they are one of Bolger's back-up men.
"Stupid guy, it's me!"
Bolger said angrily as he kicked over one of his stupid men.
Only then did the guards realize that the person coming was their boss, and they immediately hid aside without making a sound.
Bolger had no time to pay attention to them. He rode on a warg that had been prepared and escaped from a deep and secret cave at the bottom of the rock peak where the capital of Dolgu was located.
When these guards saw it, they hurriedly mounted on the remaining wargs and ran away.
Judging from their proficiency, it is obvious that they have practiced a lot.
Not far after running out, Bolger looked back at the once gloomy devil's cave, only to find that Dolgudu had already been drowned by flames and roars, so he shuddered and ran southward without looking back. .
