Chapter 256 The First Battle of the Lord of the Rings [Please subscribe]

Although he was bewitched and deceived by Sauron before, Celebrimbor rebelled once he discovered Sauron's true face: when Sauron put on the Supreme Lord of the Rings, the elves of Eregion also noticed at this moment When Sauron's plot came to light, Celebrimbor immediately took off the ring with anger and fear.

In 1693 of the Second Era, Celebrimbor originally planned to destroy all the Rings of Power, but he was unable to do so, so he had to send the three most powerful rings of the Lord of the Rings (Naya, Viar, and Nenya) out of Eri. Ji'an scattered and hid for safety, and the elves no longer used the ring of power, hid the sixteen rings that were built before, and tried to destroy them.

Just as the elves sensed the existence of the Supreme Lord of the Rings through the Ring of Power, Sauron, the owner of the Supreme Lord of the Rings, also immediately sensed that the elves were trying to destroy the Ring of Power.

At the same time, Sauron also realized that the plan was exposed and became furious. It can be said that the Ring of Power is the child ring of the Supreme Lord of the Rings, so the Ring of Power also carries part of Sauron's power and consciousness.Once the guard of power is destroyed, Sauron will also permanently lose part of his power. This is something Sauron is extremely afraid of and cannot tolerate.

So, Sauron was building up his troops in Mordor, preparing to arm himself to "ask for wages" and talk hard truths with the elves. Of course, Sauron didn't really want to start a war, just because sometimes he wanted others to listen to what he said and his fists were not strong enough. no.

In 1695 of the Second Age, Sauron asked the elves to return all the remaining rings, because it was impossible for the elves to forge the Rings without his knowledge.The elves refused, and Sauron angrily declared war on the elves.

In the same year, Sauron gathered an army, crossed Calenason, and sent an expedition to Eregion, intending to recapture all the Rings of Power. The war between the elves and Sauron broke out to seize the Rings of Power.

Knowing that Sauron led the army to go northward to fight for Eriador, Gil-galad, the High King of the Noldor and King Lindon, immediately sent his deputy, Elrond, to lead the army to help, but Linton and Eregion were too far apart. Sauron led his troops to the city before Elrond could.

Facing Sauron's army, Galadriel's husband Celeborn led his troops out of the city to fight. He won a victory and successfully joined forces with Elrond's troops who arrived on the battlefield.However, the combined forces were unable to return to Eregion because Sauron's forces were too large to contain them while besieging Eregion.

In 1697 of the Second Age, Eregion was finally defeated by Sauron's army and captured Sauron's main target of this military operation: the Jewelers' Guild Hall where the Ring of Power was stored.

In desperation, Celebrimbor personally resisted the attack on the front steps of the lodge, but was captured alive and the lodge ransacked.The elves of Eregion suffered heavy casualties in this battle, and only a few managed to escape and join the coalition of Elrond and Celeborn.

Sauron found the Nine Rings of Humans in the club, but failed to find the Seven Rings of Dwarves and the Three Rings of Elves.So he tortured Celebrimbor and learned the location of the Seven Rings of Dwarves; he forced Celebrimbor to reveal the whereabouts of the Seven Rings of Dwarves.However, Celebrimbor would not reveal the whereabouts of the Three Rings, the most powerful of the elves.

So Sauron executed Celebrimbor, put his arrow-studded body on the head of a pole, and used it as a military standard. Then he declared war on Gil-galad, because he had guessed that the ring must be entrusted to him. To Gil-galad and Galadriel.

Sauron's new offensive, the lone army of Elrond and Celeborn bore the brunt. Although this army gathered a small number of survivors who had escaped from Eregion, it was still impossible to resist the enemy.At the critical moment, Durin III sent an army to help the elves fight against Sauron, and Sauron's army was attacked from behind.

So, with the help of the dwarves of Khazad-dûm and the elven reinforcements from Lorenand led by Amroth, Elrond and Celeborn escaped from the desperate situation. They fled northward and found their way to Imladris. A fortress of refuge has been established in the Rift Valley.

The armies of Durin and Amroth were repulsed by Sauron, and the dwarves withdrew to Khazad-dum. Durin III ordered the gates of Durin to be closed. Since Sauron's army could not attack Khazad-dum, Sauron was very unhappy from then on. Hating the dwarves, he ordered the Orcs to be eternal enemies of the dwarves.

In the same year, Sauron gave the Nine Rings of Humanity to nine powerful mortals, three of whom were Númenor nobles; the Seven Rings of the Dwarves were given to the dwarf kings of the seven dwarf tribes.

In 1699 of the Second Age, the Elves and Sauron fought successively in the Eriador region, and Sauron's army advanced step by step until almost all of Eriador fell.The entire land of Eriador fell under the ravages of Sauron, and evil forces swept across Eriador. They killed or drove away all good humans, hunted the remaining elves, and besieged the dwarves.

However, in the Enaid region, Sauron's army was welcomed by the indigenous residents.Because the Númenóreans had lumber mills built in the vast native forests to provide wood for the fleet, their destructive and indiscriminate logging had long aroused dissatisfaction among the forest natives.

During the war, the native people hoped that Sauron could defeat the Númenóreans, so they were willing to serve as spies and guides for Sauron's small group of commandos. Many Númenórean lumber yards were burned by them; and the Númenóreans intensified their cutting. The forest takes revenge.

In 1700 of the Second Era, Gil-galad, King of the Kingdom of Linton, finally arrived with his army asking for help from Númenor.

Although the huge fleet sent by Tar-Minastir (Crown Prince, the future No. 11 king of Númenor) was delayed, by the time they arrived at the coast of Lindon, Eriador had already fallen, and the army of Sauron The elves and Númenóreans could only hold on when they reached the Shuen River, which was the border of the Kingdom of Linton. Sauron's subordinates also had a steady stream of fresh troops coming from the southeast to support them, and they were already approaching the Ferry of Shabad.

However, the unexpected landing of the Númenórean fleet reversed the defeat of the Kingdom of Lindon. Sauron's army that attacked Lindon suffered heavy losses and fled miserably. They were defeated for the second time by the pursuing army at the Sarn Ferry of the Baranduin River.

Later, in the Battle of Gvasro, Sauron's army was completely defeated. He barely managed to escape with a small group of troops. When he fled to the east of Kalenason, even this remaining remnant army was attacked. to the attack.In the end, the Demon King Sauron fled back to Mordor's lair with only his own guards and the only remaining Orcs, losing his face.

In 1701 of the Second Age, Sauron was defeated and expelled from Eriador. Gil-galad launched a counterattack and wiped out the rest of Sauron in Eriador. The enemy forces besieging Imladris were in Gil. -Garad and Elrond were destroyed by internal and external attacks.The battle between the Elves and Sauron ended with Sauron's complete defeat.

After the battle between the elves and Sauron, the elves held the first white meeting to discuss the future of the mainland after the catastrophe.

It was decided to maintain an elven fortress east of Eriador, with the site chosen as Imladris, which had stood firm during the siege, rather than Eregion.The fortress was to be garrisoned by the half-elf Elrond, who Gil-galad appointed as his regent in Eriador and gave him Veyar, one of the Three Rings.

At the same time, the Númenóreans also got their first taste of power in a war in which they played a key role.From then on, they began to build permanent colonies on the coast of Middle Continent, rule and exploit the local indigenous people, and accumulate gold and silver treasures...

"The liberators of free will were driven away by evil colonists and evil elves, and mankind fell into boundless darkness and exploitation... Why is the world always so upside down... Good people want to do good things but suffer a lot , bad guys do evil to all sentient beings but are praised in the history books... Is this the case of killing people and setting fire to gold belts, repairing bridges and repairing roads without corpses... The world... is filthy..."

Rey stands high in the sky, looking at Middle-earth, Eriador, the elves and the Númenoreans are singing and dancing in the resplendent palace, and the tables are filled with delicacies. It contains the bones of trackers and serfs.

In Mordor in the southeast of Middle-earth, Sauron, who had suffered a great defeat, stood on a high platform and preached loudly to his human people. With his current kind appearance and his always wise ruling attitude, In addition, he is a master at playing with people's hearts. Sauron's revenge speech shook his mustache and made the humans and orcs under the platform excited and excited. They wished they could take up weapons and fight to the west now.

Just look at it and you will know that Sauron is so popular. As a result, an Ainur who aims to reshape the world's new order is actually slandered as the Dark Lord. What an injustice...

I held a moment of silence for Sauron in my heart, and then gave a thumbs up to this chosen worker.In the past ten years, the killings caused by Sauron in the west of Middle-earth are not much worse than those in Angband back then. The boundless sins have been rooted in this land along with the blood. Rey, who is in charge of killings and sins, also took a ride Increased strength a bit.

However, what makes Rey most happy is the Lord of the Rings - the twenty rings of power, including the Supreme Lord of the Rings. Rey's arrangements have finally begun to take root.

The Ring of Power, in Rey's eyes, its true and accurate name is actually the Ring of Power - a ring that contains and controls power.

Each ring can control a specific power within a certain range, and the wearer can obtain unimaginable power from the ring. Of course, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. To control power, you must bear the erosion caused by power.

Why does Rey know so much about The Lord of the Rings?Of course, it's not just because of understanding the plot of the movie or Rey's observation and summary in the sky, but because this Lord of the Rings, the Ring of Power, was created by Rey.

It can be said that Rey spent a lot of effort on the twenty rings of power.From the idea of ​​ring design to the realization of functions, to the forging and empowering of the ring, Rey has been deeply involved.Rey first left scrolls in the secret chamber of Angband early to provide theoretical basis and technical methods for Sauron to come up with the idea of ​​casting the Lord of the Rings in the future.

Then when the elves of Eregion forged the Ring of Power, Rey was present, participating and paying attention throughout the process.

Ahem... In fact, it was Rey who had been sitting in the furnace watching the live broadcast while the elves were casting the ring.

Of course, Rey didn't just watch others work and did nothing himself.The work that Rey does is much more difficult than the physical work of knocking and knocking by the elves - giving his ideas to the elf craftsmen quietly and moisturizing them.

Whenever the elven craftsmen were pacing in the sun, thinking about the problem of casting rings, the gentle and charming sunshine shone on their faces. Under the care of the sun, fantastic ideas emerged from the minds of the elves one after another. Ruquanyu, the ring was also successfully made according to Rey's ideas.

The power ring was successfully forged, suspended in mid-air under the sun, shining with charming brilliance in the bright sunlight.

However, in the hidden vision, wisps of black smoke emerged from the surrounding space and condensed.A little golden shimmer appeared and merged into the just-completed Ring of Power, while the invisible black mist around it also swarmed in like a vicious dog running for food.Just like that, the Ring of Power was successfully cast.

Regarding the powers in the Ring of Power, Rey also decided on them after careful consideration.

Elves have long lives and are indifferent and peaceful by nature.For these elves who live an unusually "Buddhist" life, Rey found the right powers after a long period of investigation - greed, anger, and ignorance. These three are the beginning of the elves' sins, covering the elves' sins from the past to the future. source of.

Although dwarves live for hundreds of years, and Aulë has given them a tough character and body, the dwarves have many more sins than the elves - greed, anger, ignorance, hatred, love, evil, and lust, the seven sources of sin. .

As for human beings, sins have been rooted in human beings since birth, so human beings are also burdened with the most sins. Every human being can be said to be deeply sinful. Their sins can be divided into arrogance, jealousy, madness, rage, laziness, greed, fear, and gluttony. and the nine kinds of lust.

The Supreme Lord of the Rings in Sauron's hand, as a ring that governs other powers, contains the power of original sin.

And everything that happened later proved that Rey's vision was accurate and that the ring of power was in perfect harmony with the wearer.

After the war that broke out due to the Ring of Power, the elves were given three rings, which represented wisdom, longevity and fairness; the dwarves were given seven rings. They are skilled craftsmen and are good at making weapons.Humans received nine rings. They are more greedy for power than ordinary races.

The Three Elven Rings were not forged as weapons of war or to conquer others, that is not where their power lies.The people who forged the Three Rings of Elves did not desire power, dominance, or amassing wealth, but they desired to understand, create, and heal in order to preserve all things from being stained.

Because even if the elves live long, they will gradually fade with the passage of time. Therefore, resisting the erosion of time and delaying the decline of all things have become the most important functions of the three elves' rings.

For example, both Rivendell and Lothlorien keep the Elven Rings, and the elves here have been able to maintain their ancient way of life, and the beautiful things they created have been protected from the ravages of time.

Since Sauron was not involved in the creation of the three elven rings, and the ring bearers are highly resistant to the erosion of the three poisons of sin, the three elven rings not only maintain everything around the wearer with their powerful power, but also The three poisons will be weakened from the elves under the rule.

Sauron gave each of the seven dwarves a ring of power, which became known as the Seven Rings of Dwarves in the future. The dwarves used these seven rings to build their treasury.

The ring enhances the dwarf's wearer's power and desire for dominance, and awakens in them a thirst for gold and precious things, making them greedy and extremely wealthy. (Throl once said when giving his ring to his son Thrain II: The ring needs gold to grow to give birth to gold.)
The evil caused by the dwarves' excessive greed for gold was enough for Sauron to profit from it.

However, unlike humans, dwarves were originally built as a race that could resist domination tenaciously.They can be killed, but cannot be corrupted into Nazgul.

Their lifespan is not affected by any ring, and they will neither live longer nor be shortened by it.

The Ring gives the wearer wealth based on the goods he trades: if he trades in lead, he gets lead; if he trades in silver, he gets silver; if he trades in gems, he gets more, bigger, and more valuable gems. .

Therefore, the most important function of the Seven Rings of Dwarves is to amass wealth.The source of sin also only occasionally breaks out because of the dwarves' tough character.

But the ring of power will make them extremely greedy for gold and precious things. This extreme greed has caused conflicts between groups, and the accumulated treasures have also attracted evil dragons and other enemies to covet them.This change in them became the trigger for their own fall...

As for the nine rings of power that Sauron gave to representative figures with certain influence among humans - the Nine Rings of Humanity.

The first nine humans used the power of the ring to gain great wealth, prestige, and power, making them powerful kings, wizards, and warriors.The power of the ring also extended their lives, and they began to see things they could not see before.

Their bodies were eroded away by the Ring of Power and became invisible spirits.

In the end, the nine humans who had once become great because of holding the Ring of Power were gradually enslaved by the ring on their hands, and fell into the control of Sauron's Supreme Ring one by one, becoming the Nazgûl, the Nazgul.

They only grasped the power of power at the beginning, and then they were swallowed up by the sin within it.They have become the bearers of the power of sin, and become slaves of power. A large part of the sin contained in human beings has also been restricted to them.

And because of the relationship between the Supreme Lord of the Rings and other rings of power, the ring bearer who has been eroded by power will be unable to resist Sauron's will and lose his self-awareness.

Some humans were easily enslaved, while those with strong hearts or good intentions struggled for a while, but eventually became slaves of sin.

They have difficulty seeing in the normal world, and are even more blind in the midday sun; they are especially dangerous in the dark, because they can detect things that mortals cannot.Human beings are like shadows in their perception, yet they can see each other clearly regardless of time or distance.

The power of sin flows in their bodies, and their bodies and souls also carry the sin to prevent it from breaking out in disorder...
