Ilúvatar once gave a blessing to the souls of other worlds: anything he hates and dislikes cannot harm him!

Over the years, Turka has been through many battles without suffering any harm.

In fact, Nazgul's magic had no effect on him.

Although the battle with the Balrog and even the white-robed wizard Saruman was difficult and dangerous, the ultimate winner was Turka Aracano.

Therefore, we have no way of knowing exactly where the scope of disgust and dislike lies.

But during the Second Battle of Lonely Mountain, Turka was wounded in the sneak attack by the blue-robed wizard Alatar. Morgoth's power flowed into the blue-robed wizard's body along the tip of his sword.

At that time, no one would believe that a noble wizard (Maiya) could actually become a humble assassin. The battle with the Balrog occupied most of Turka's energy. When he discovered the blue ray hidden in the shadows, Shadow, it's already too late.

The king fell silently, like a sleeping giant bear.

This almost changed the course of the entire battle.

Although Eonwë appeared at the critical moment and started a battle with the fallen blue-robed wizard, Nahar also burst out with dazzling light of Valinor in anger, repelling the silver-white king who fell into madness. enemy. But the king's injury still caused great confusion among the elves, dwarves, and humans on the battlefield. The loyal guards rescued him from the chaos of the battlefield and took him to the dwarf hall to rest.

The cavalry and Celeborn who went to chase the enemy also returned from the front line. They did not kill all the enemies. Many orcs fled back to the ancient fortress in the northern wasteland, and some escaped into the south. and Iron Hills. Continue to harm Central Continent.

At that time, everyone felt deeply uneasy and frightened.

Because, although the cunning blue-robed wizard was chased by Eonwe all the way to the ruins of Utumno, in the end, Alatar fled into the deepest part of the terrifying fortress and hid.

At that time, even Eangwei couldn't help but feel a little frightened when he looked at the deep and terrifying ancient fortress. He banged his sword and shield vigorously at the entrance of the huge tunnel, issuing a clarion call of challenge. The sound echoed in the Iron Mountains. But Alatar did not dare to go out to fight.

And Eonwe did not dare to break into this terrible hell alone, so he stayed at the door for a long time, and finally turned and left.

The only good thing is that the Great Eagle Clan, led by the Eagle King, repelled the giant dragon in the Iron Mountains, giving the elves and dwarves a chance to breathe.

The news that the king of Elpera was injured and unconscious spread like the wind throughout Middle-earth. When Sauron heard this, he laughed with joy. He took the opportunity to send all his troops in an attempt to eliminate the resistance in the north.

As a result, the battle known as "sanda helkar faare" (the final battle of destruction) broke out.

Aragorn led the remaining tens of thousands of troops to encounter a huge enemy army near Helm's Deep. The chariot people of Rovanion and East Emt came out in full force, crossed the Onodro River and the Snow Realm River, and stopped Aragorn's way eastward.

Their numbers were so great that they were almost as large as the northern army led by Aragorn. Moreover, at the same time, another large army of Eastern Yi people surged out from the Lebenning-Long Beach-Drewwise Wilderness line, through the southern pass of the White Mountains, in an attempt to encircle and suppress the northern army from both east and west.

But the eagle Whitehill informed Aragon that the enemy was dividing his troops into two groups and preparing to attack the northern army.

So Aragorn accepted Éomer's advice. He sent Éomer to Helm's Deep to persuade Erkenbrand, who had just recovered Westfold, to send troops to guard the area from the crossing of the Eshin River to the Pass of Rohan. He led all the troops to face the enemy in the east.

At that time, Éomer rode a horse and led a small group of horses to the towering Helm's Deep, shouting: "I am Éomer, the king's nephew. Please come out for a moment, the general here."

The Rohirrim in Helm's Deep were extremely surprised, because they received the news that the prince had been exiled, and anyone who dared to help him was considered treason. Moreover, they had heard about the battle in the distance, so the guards on the high wall looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

At this time, the Lord of Helm's Deep, Erkenbrand, poked his head out from the city wall.

He said: "Eomer, O Éomer, you are so eloquent that you will not allow anyone to help you. Anyone who helps you is equally guilty. So, what do you do here?"

"Have you not heard that the serpent's word cannot be trusted?" cried Éomer. "Isn't it a chilling and sad thing for a king to be deceived by a traitor and harm a loyal general?"

Eikenbrand was silent.

Éomer continued: "Now the King of the North is issuing a clarion call to declare war on all evil and cunning people. You have recovered the lost land of the country a few days ago, which is the result of this war. Isengard has collapsed, and the white-robed wizard has been crowned. My compatriots , come on, this is our opportunity to bring order to the chaos, let us march to Edoras together, clear out those ungrateful people under the throne! Restore the glory of the descendants of Eorl!"

The humans in Helm's Deep were in an uproar. Many of them have heard the legend of the Supreme King in the North, and have experienced the misery of the Dark Ages. Every day, they long for someone to lead them out of these desperate years. Some gray-haired veterans even sang the famous "Song of the Dragonborn", which was often sung by Rohirrim bards and scholars when the Northern Kingdom and Rohan were still in their honeymoon period.

“dovahkiin, dovahkiin, naal ok zin los vahriin,

wah dein vokul mahfaeraak ahst vaal!

ahrk fin norok paal graan fod nust hon zindro zaan,

dovahkiin, fah hin kogaan mu draal!" (Meme)

This song was first recited by one person, and then, one after another, everyone started singing.

Eikenbrand turned back in surprise and looked at his soldiers and his subjects. I saw that both men and women, young and old, were chanting this song that represented light with hope and expectation in their eyes. This song echoed in the deep valley, reached Jinghui Cave, and reached the White Mountains, becoming louder and louder.

Éomer could not help but pull out his sword Guswinai with excitement, and said loudly: "What should I say? Descendants of Éol, do you still remember the old covenant? What is your choice?"

On the high wall of Helm's Deep, everyone slowly fell silent, and everyone looked at Erkenbrand.

Then, Éomer pointed his sword at the heroic lord of Helm's Deep and loudly said: "In the name of the king, son of Brand I, you are willing to follow!"

Eikenbrand remained silent.

There was silence in front of Helm's Deep.

"Your answer!" Éomer's eyes were furious, his voice was like thunder, showing his majesty.

Finally, Eikenbrand spoke: "In the name of the king, I am willing to follow!" He issued an oath of allegiance.

Cheers and joy immediately echoed throughout Helm's Deep.

After receiving the assistance of the Rohirrim, Aragorn immediately moved his troops forward to attack the enemies scattered on the vast West Fold grassland.

This was an upright decisive battle. The armies of both sides advanced in tacit understanding, just like the rising tide overflowing the gap in the dam that was thought to be foolproof, slowly but steadily pouring into a flat grassland with no obstacles in all directions.

The sky is getting brighter. Far, far to the south, the clouds were faintly visible, rolling and drifting like vague gray shadows: dawn was just behind them.

At the same moment, a ray of light suddenly appeared, like lightning rising from the earth in the east. In that flash of light, Mordor's towering Mount Doom was clearly black and white under the morning light, and the black smoke was even dyed golden. Then, as darkness gathered again, a huge roar rolled across the plains.

The sound made the rickety figure of Isildur's descendant suddenly straighten up, and he looked tall and majestic again. He straightened up in his stirrups and shouted in a louder voice, clearer than any mortal man had ever been able to do:

Horsemen of the King of the North, rise up! Rise up!

The evil has awakened, burning, killing and looting!

Quickly pierce the spear, strike with the round shield,

Quickly draw your sword and fight fiercely, staining the yellow sand with blood until the sun rises again!

To the battlefield, to the battlefield, to Gondor!

After speaking, he grabbed a big horn from Boromir who was holding the flag and blew it hard. The horn exploded due to the excessive force. Immediately, all the trumpets in the army sounded in unison. At that moment, the trumpets of the northern army sounded like a storm across the plains and like a thunderbolt echoing in the mountains.

To the battlefield, to the battlefield, to Gondor!

Suddenly, the king among men gave a loud shout to the divine horse, and the horse jumped out in response. Behind him, the King of Gondor's flag fluttered in the wind, and the crest of a tree and seven stars reappeared in the world, just as his father, Arathorn, had foreseen many years ago.

But he rushed faster than it; the vagabonds followed him like thunder, but he was always ahead.

Boromir galloped forward, the white tail mane on his helmet fluttering. Mormo followed, shouting wildly, and the men of Aelinwarne and Elpera rushed to the shore like foaming waves, but no one could catch up with Aragorn. The blood of the Human King was flowing around him, as if possessed by all the ancestors of his lineage.

He sat upon a tall steed, like an ancient god, like the great Orome in the battle of the Valar when the world was young. He showed Anduriel, and behold! It was as bright as the sun, and wherever the horse's snow-white hooves touched, the long grass was illuminated and reflected green.

For dawn has come, dawn has come, and the winds from the sea have come, and the darkness has been driven away, and the host of the devil is wailing, and is in terror, and is fleeing and perishing, and the angry hooves of the horses trample over them like rain; The sharp arrows shot down the galloping trailer horses; the thick infantry phalanx overturned the two-wheeled chariots;

No one gave in, no one was afraid, everyone sang war songs loudly. They killed while singing, immersed in the joy of battle. Their singing was magnificent and terrifying, and even spread to Helm's Deep behind, and even to Ai. Xinhe Ferry. Reached Edoras.

Then Éowyn knew that his brother had found reinforcements and a way to save the country.

She called the captain of the guard who had been protecting her and said: "Listen, hope is roaring, the light has come. But we cannot just sit back and watch them fall out of thin air. We should make our efforts. Glory never comes from charity. "

At that time, Hama admired this lady who was well-known in the country, but he had doubts about her plan because Éowyn actually let him take the opportunity to launch a coup and take down a group of people, including the Tongue. There is evil in the court. The reason is that the white-robed wizards have failed and their power is no longer awe-inspiring. This is a perfect opportunity to wipe out the traitors here.

"But the king is still in their hands," Hama said. "If we launch a coup, it is very likely to harm him."

However, Her Royal Highness the Princess said: "My sword will protect him. You have to be fast. When you take Meduseld Palace, everything will be settled. Even if the poisonous snake is unwilling to give in, it can only surrender." !”

But Hama was still hesitant. He did not doubt the princess's bravery, but he really did not want to bear the reputation of being a traitor.

Eowyn saw his hesitation, and she angrily scolded the captain of the guard: "It is our highest honor as subjects to bring order to chaos. When you rescue the declining old king from the mouth of the poisonous snake, our people will only praise you for your good work. ! The king will also reward you, why are you hesitating?"

Then Hama said: "I really want the reward, but I am just worried that the king will be injured. But as noble as you are, you also think that I should rise up, so be it. Among the descendants of Eor, men are never more cowardly than women."

"But women may wield swords," said Éowyn.

Hama leaned over and said nothing.

That night, a voice sounded in the royal city of the Rohirrim: "The light has come! All those who are unwilling to surrender to the darkness should rise up!"

"Protect the king and eliminate the traitors!"

Many people were surprised to see a team holding torches quickly gathering from all over the city and surrounding Meduseld Palace. Yanyu and his followers were horrified to see the flames outside the door, thinking that the northern army had arrived. He screamed: "Hold the gate! Hold the gate!"

Then he ran staggeringly through the corridors and passages, trying to kidnap King Théoden.

But a woman holding a sword and shield stood boldly in front of the king's palace door. The bright moonlight shone on her beautiful face, making it look so dazzling. "Stop!" The White Princess of Rohan stood upright in front of the poisonous snake and shouted: "This is the king's palace, no one can offend it."

Ni Yan and his two henchmen were frightened by the princess's momentum. They became angry and frightened, knowing that what happened tonight was a conspiracy. Ning Tou screamed like a beast on the verge of death: "Don't be stunned, she is just a woman! Woman! Rush in. If you don't want to die, rush in."

But Éowyn moved around nimbly, and with a flash of sword light, he chopped down the two villainous subordinates of Tongue to the ground.

Then she took a step forward, kicked the villain over, and put the cold sword edge against his throat.

"It's over, you silverfish!"

Ning Yan opened her mouth wide and shed tears in fear.
