Dragonborn from Lord of the Rings

Chapter 45 After the War
"...At first, the coalition offensive went very smoothly,
Dragon Bourne, who we shall later call the Silver King.

He and the Holy Spirit, Nahar, are alive like Orome (some say Tokas)!

One man and one horse rushed up Angmar Hill, destroying the tower on the left.

The Orcs of Carndum were too terrified to look directly at the Wrath of the Dragonborn.

The coalition is extremely excited!

...Dragon Bourne and the Nine Knights fought together, and the roars and screams of terror resounded on the top of the Angmar Mountains!

Thorin Oakenshield was the first to rush to the top!
He and Du Valin bravely wielded their warhammers and sharp axes, killing off batch after batch of half-orcs.

None but Arathorn the Dúnedain and Hal Barad have equaled the exploits of the dwarf prince and his cousin that day...

wight!

Lots of wights!

They emerged from the deepest part of Carndum, and swords, axes, and hammers could not harm them. The wizard Gandalf raised his staff and drove back a large number of these filthy creatures!
Okriam!
He shouted the elf name of the Silver King.

Look behind you, there are too many enemies for us to deal with!It's time for us to retreat!
So, Dragon Bourne withdrew from the battle with the Nine Knights, used his dragon flame to destroy the chasing wights, and saved the leaders of the coalition forces including Thorin and Arathorn!
Since then, the first offensive and defensive battle of Carndum came to an end.

Third Age 2931, August 8th. "

——"Battle of Carndum" Anonymous

Three days had passed since that day when the allied armies retreated from under the black walls of Carndum as far as Ais-Help-Rus (the icy hills) twenty leagues from Angmar Hill.

During these three days, the leaders of the coalition forces quarreled again and again over the issue of whether to withdraw or not.

Every time, everyone was so angry that they almost jumped up to a duel.

what.

We're talking about dwarves and wizards.

Because the dwarves are almost at the forefront of the charge, and bear the brunt when the wights are raging, the Turin dwarves suffered the heaviest losses in this battle.

The horn sheep cavalry was almost wiped out, mainly because many horn sheep ran away.

A quarter of the dwarven praetorians were lost.

Coupled with the previous battle of Myslond.

More than 500 dwarves have lost nearly 500 people.

You must know that these are the elite of the Turin dwarves. For Thorin Oakenshield, whose country was ruined and his family was ruined, this is almost the last trump card for the continuation of the Turin royal family.

Now that more than a third of it is gone all of a sudden, how can he not feel distressed?

And the Dúnedain people are also ethnically sparse, and one dies less than one master, so Arathorn also said solemnly, maybe they can retreat temporarily.

Only the elves explicitly objected.

At this time, the representative of the elves is Fenner.The northern elves led by her also suffered a lot in the last battle.

But compared to the dwarves who charged ahead, the losses of the elves were relatively small.

One thousand elves, there are still more than 700 elves who can continue to fight after the war.

Plus.

The female chef knew that since he retreated from the battlefield that day, the dragonborn who had been silent all the time was actually resisting to retreat. This was from the fact that he rode Nahar from time to time and stopped to look at the Angmar Mountains in the distance. It can be learned.

However, Fenner's point of view could not convince the stubborn dwarves.

Arathon on the human side didn't think it was a good idea to continue the siege, so the two sides came to a stalemate.

As for the wizard.

Well.

His behavior was even more strange.

While arguing loudly with the stubborn dwarf, the gray-robed wizard objected to retreating, and at the same time secretly admitted that it would be a foolish thing to attack the already prepared Karndum with the current force.

This made both the elves and the dwarves very dissatisfied, and it was unbelievable that the wizard had two ends.

The angry Gandalf turned around and attacked both the elves and the dwarves at the same time.

In this way, the leaders of the coalition forces quarreled for three days.If it weren't for the dragonborn pressing down on it, the dwarves and wizards who quarreled the most might really fight.

I mean, one-sided drop hammer.

At the same time, the morale of the coalition forces was extremely low.

From time to time, dwarves and humans recalled the terrifying figure of the corpse demon in their dreams, and then woke up, speaking some nonsense that others could not understand.

These farces will not subside until the wizard or dragonborn who is driven out uses magic or the power of the Elessa gem to calm the frightened poor people.

Only the firstborn children of Iluvatar still maintain their elegance and dignity for thousands of years.

The elves are also sad, but not desperate.

They hastily buried some seriously injured compatriots who could not be treated, hummed sad songs one after another, and bid farewell to them, looking forward to seeing them again in the Mandos Hall.

Overall, a pessimistic mood hangs over the coalition.

No one blames the Dragonborn, though.

Because Dragon Bourne is not only the nominal commander of the coalition forces.

Moreover, in the battle three days ago, the Dragonborn almost single-handedly carried the enemy's most powerful Nine Knights, and destroyed a dangerous tower, successfully restraining most of the firepower for the coalition forces. The siege provides a very good environment and conditions.

If it weren't for the enemy behind releasing an army of evil and filthy corpses.

In the first battle three days ago, the coalition forces were able to capture the sinister fortress of Kandum.

Even so.

Finally, the rear of the coalition army;

After the war, it was still the nominal commander of our army who treated the wounded elves, dwarves and humans.

Therefore, up to Thorin, Arathorn, and down to the dwarves and humans at the bottom, they can't ask for more from the dragonborn.

I just hate why I couldn't hold on for a little longer at the time.

Even the radicals still think that if the coalition forces were able to turn around and attack the wave at that time, maybe the ending would not be like it is today.

But that's the way it is.

No regrets.

At that time, most of the coalition forces had fallen into chaos and were unable to issue effective orders at all, which resulted in a wave of counterattack opportunities being missed in vain.

at last.

After another meaningless quarrel.

Dragon Bourne spoke.

"I am very grateful to the dwarves of Turin for what they have done these days. Thorin Oakenshield, you are worthy of the name of a warrior! Now, I admit that your oath has been fulfilled, and the dwarves need not continue to bleed here! Go home, Thorin , Your blood has been shed enough. May your return be smooth."

When a usually taciturn but majestic person speaks, it is difficult for anyone to dare to ignore it.

The unexpected order not only stunned the dwarf prince who was arguing with the wizard blushingly.

At the same time, the next words made Arasson stand up and kneel down on one knee.

"In the same way, Arathorn, son of Alador. I have seen the heroic struggle of the Dúnedain, and I am grateful! So here, I accept your oath! Arathorn, my friend, yours The obligation has been fulfilled, go home, don't let your women and children lose their husbands, sons, and fathers!"

After the close communication with Nahar during this period, Dragon's elf language has become much better, and he spoke fluently and sincerely, and he didn't know how many times he practiced secretly.

"My lord, why do you say that? The people of Dúnedain have sworn to fight for you, and this oath has not wavered! The women and children of Dúnedain will only rejoice when their husbands, sons, and fathers bravely serve a High and revered kings give their lives! And hate cowards who run away! I will fight for you to the last man, and I only ask you to take back such heart-wrenching words."

As he said that, the human ranger pulled out the sword of the Arno royal family that was as clear as autumn water, stuck it in front of his face, and solemnly reiterated the oath of the Dúnedain people.

This moved the Dragonborn.

He hastily stepped forward to help the brave warrior, and said, "I just don't want the Dúnedain to shed all their precious blood on this barren land..."

Arazon raised his head, looked up at the stalwart figure, and said seriously: "Life is naturally precious, but there are always things in this world that are worth protecting with life!"

Dragon Bourne's expression changed, but he didn't speak.

The expression on the face of Thorin next to him changed for a while, but in the end, he also stood up, put his hand on his chest, and said in a muffled voice: "Please don't question the dwarf's determination to die, my lord!"

Plus Fenner, who represents the elves.

The opinions of the upper echelons of the coalition forces were once again unified.

Dragon Bourne looked around to make sure that there was no objection, and then nodded slowly, his expression full of majesty.

At this time, the gray-robed wizard took out a bong from nowhere, and while puffing out smoke rings, he looked at the few people in the field with a smile, with an expression that I had already seen through.

Well, it's annoying.

But when the Dwarves and the Dúnedain came out of the tent of the Lord Master of the Alliance, Gandalf deliberately stayed behind.

"My lord."

If it is said that the wizard was just guessing before.

Then, since the battle three days ago, when the black-haired dragon descendant fought alone against Nazgul, the most evil servant of the Dark Lord, the incomparably sacred aura on his body finally made him sure.

The man in front of him is the son of destiny appointed by the most holy Iluvita.

So his attitude became more respectful.

"Beautiful speech! You have successfully restored the collapsed hearts." The wizard praised and spit out a colorful smoke ring, which is very miraculous.

Dragon Bourne gave him a strange look, and said with a straight face: "Why do you think this is a speech? Can't it be my sincerity?"

"The heroism of Thorin and Arathorn is indeed worthy of my admiration! Their clansmen have indeed shed enough blood. I allow them to retreat with honor. Is there a problem!"

"Then I was wrong."

The wizard noticed the dangerous signal in the king's eyes, and instead of continuing to entangle with this issue, he cleverly changed the subject and said: "Although the hearts of dwarves and humans have been calmed down now, there is still one problem. My grown ups."

"what is the problem?"

The dragonborn, who had endured three days of endless quarreling, walked to the door of the tent and looked north.

Gandalf followed his example and stood at the door of the tent, looking towards the Angmar Mountains.There loomed the orcs in the majestic and eerie dome of Karndum, the greatest stronghold in the North.

"Our strength is insufficient, my lord, and we need more reinforcements."

Gandalf stared unceremoniously at Dragon Bourne's eyes, looking wise.

"Mithrandil."

The black-haired dragonborn sighed, calling the wizard by the elf's name for the first time. "Has anyone ever said that you are really annoying."

"My lord."

The wizard bowed deeply: "The kings don't like me, but they all need me."
