Chapter 229

Rohan.

The sky was warm and the light was slanting westward.

Large areas of bright red sunset glow are all over the horizon.

The cold wind howled in the wilderness.

The road from helm deep valley to the vast wilderness.

It's quite busy at this time.

Because from time to time, you can see several, more than a dozen, or even more groups of cavalry, with large and small bags hanging on the horse's back, and the packages that make a collision sound like gold and iron continue to travel towards the deep valley.

These cavalry are obviously Rohan Hussars.

The battle with the aesingh Fang orcs began at night last night and lasted until this morning.

Until Gandalf, the white wizard, and the reinforcements of Lord eikenbrand of xilohan arrived, King Theoden was seriously injured and ill, and led the soldiers to charge.

Under the joint fighting of reinforcements and defenders, this defeated the Eisinger strong Orc army.

Because there are too many defeats.

The troops of Rohan side pursued and killed the strong beasts who fled everywhere until the afternoon, which was barely regarded as chasing and killing most of Eisinger's routed soldiers.

As for the rest who escaped, they were no longer a threat.

Helm deep valley is not close to Eisinger, but it is not far, that is, it is about two days away.

Presumably those deserters will eventually escape back to Essinger.

But for the time being, Rohan didn't take it to heart.

"Bang Bang..."

The loud sound of horses' hoofs came along with the collision of gold and iron.

More than a dozen heavily armed rohanpyu, carrying large packages, walked quickly towards the horn castle in the deep valley.

When the Hussars go far.

Not long.

A single Hussar, fully armed and with his head tightly hidden in his helmet, appeared at the mouth of helm's deep valley.

Unlike other Hussars.

Two people sat on the horse.

Moreover, there was no package hanging on the horse.

Most importantly, the horse is moving very slowly.

Completely different from other Hussars chasing time.

These two are, of course, Morgan and Iowen, Princess Lohan of "women disguised as men".

Because of eowen's identity.

They could not walk with other Rohan knights.

Even the invitation of Rohan leader and soldiers who recognized Morgan was pushed away by Morgan.

The horse under him walked towards the deep valley at a constant speed.

Morgan looked up at the red sunset in the western sky and suddenly said, "look at the clouds in the sky. I heard that such clouds were caused by too many killings."

"There are too many killings..."

Iowen followed Morgan's instructions and looked at the red sky. She seemed to think of something. She was silent for a long time before she whispered.

"But at last it's over."

Morgan nodded and whispered.

"Yes, it's finally over..."

Iowen sighed and opened her mouth. Her voice was not as atmospheric, energetic and cheerful as before. It was obvious that there was something in her heart.

Morgan is not the first brother, which is naturally clear.

But I just know.

He's not good, and he won't speak easily.

He has been in this world for nearly 60 years and has fallen in love with the spirit tarrell for 60 years.

Although the two have not officially held a wedding until now.

But tarrell, who gave birth to a son and a daughter for him, has long been regarded as his wife.

Morgan is not an elf, and he thinks he is not a very dedicated and single-minded man.

However, he didn't want to let tarrell, who loved him deeply, get hurt.

More unwilling to let his lovely daughter, Evelyn, and his clever son, Ulysses, get hurt.

So even if eowen's character really moved him.

He's not going to do anything wrong with his wife tarrell.

If you met Iowen before meeting tarrell.

Then he will take the initiative to attack without waiting for eowen to chase him back.

But not now.

Even if eowen's character makes him appreciate and like it very much, and her figure is moving enough to attract him, it won't work.

This is his responsibility as a man with a wife.

Eowen's voice fell.

Morgan didn't answer.

There was a moment of silence.

Only two people dismounted and the horse moved forward quietly and evenly.

After a while.

Eowen suddenly said, "the war has been won. Perhaps his majesty is preparing to return to Edoras."

"And you, Morgan?"

When eowen said this, she suddenly turned her head, looked at the man behind her and asked, "what are your next plans...?"

Looking at the white face skin exposed in the gap of eowen's tight helmet.

Morgan said, "go back to Edoras?"

"No, his majesty Theoden won't do that."

"The world is not very safe now."

"The huge shadow of Sauron of modo hangs over the free race of the whole world."

"Someone has seen Morgan's army set out towards the kingdom of Gondor."

"In such a turbulent situation, your majesty will certainly not return to Edoras now. It would be unwise..."

Morgan shook his head and said.

Iowen thought carefully and nodded in acquiescence to Morgan's point of view.

But this was not what she really wanted to ask. He continued to look at the man behind him and asked, "what about you?"

"What are your plans next?"

"I..."

Speaking of this, Morgan smiled and said, "of course, he will continue to stay here and stay in the horn castle."

"After all, what you promised someone hasn't been done yet, has it?"

The voice fell.

Eowen's eyes, hidden in her helmet, lit up immediately.

She immediately remembered what Morgan said, that is, Morgan promised to teach himself archery this morning.

She almost forgot about it.

It's really inappropriate.

"I thought... Morgan, you forgot."

IO Wen's face changed slightly, her tone hesitated a little, and she immediately returned calmly.

But at such a distance.

Even Iowen's head is hidden in her helmet.

Morgan could also roughly see the slight change in the expression on her face.

And I could tell from her tone that she should have forgotten it.

Thinking of this, Morgan immediately raised his mouth and spoke in a slightly helpless tone: "I won't forget what I promised. I'm afraid some people forget..."

"Ha..."

Iowen, who saw Morgan's expression, immediately smiled.

She immediately turned her head and said, "I didn't forget..."

It seems that he thought of something.

She covered her mouth and laughed again.

After such a fuss, the atmosphere of embarrassment and silence was swept away.

They then walked to the corner castle with a smile.

The air is full of happiness.

......

Middle earth world.

south.

Gondor.

Osgillias.

As the most powerful human kingdom in the world, Gondor is the old capital of Gondor.

However, the "oskilias" on both sides of the Anduin river has long been left in ruins.

However, "Minas ISIR", which was a sister city to the former white city of Gondor, "Minas tiris", was captured by the army led by King Angmar, the most powerful subordinate of modosolen and the head of the ring spirit.

"Minas isher" becomes "Minas grotto".

Since the "Minas isher" was taken away, "osgillias" has naturally become the forefront fortress of Gondor against modo.

At this time, in the ruins of osgillias, which has just ended a dangerous battle involving the ring spirit riding a fallen monster.

Frodo, the ring bearer with his hands tied, stood nervously with Sam and Gulu, who was bent and ugly.

A few days ago, they were caught by mankind because of the order of de nethor, the current ruling Prime Minister of Gondor.

Now, we have to face the ultimate fate.

And what can determine their three fates is right in front of them.

Not far ahead, a tall human warrior in armor and a green cloak argued with a middle-aged Warrior Leader right next to him.

"Faramir, you know the law of our kingdom, the law of your father!"

"If you let them go, you will be sentenced to death according to the law."

The middle-aged leader said with a serious face.

The voice fell.

Frodo Sam Gulu's three faces immediately became very nervous.

At this moment, not only the three of them looked at faramir nervously.

The other Gondor soldiers present were looking at faramir.

Many Gondor soldiers know that the current master of Gondor and the ruling Prime Minister "Denethor" only likes his eldest son "bolomir" rather than his second son faramir.

Now faramir was going to disobey his father, Denethor.

Forgive and let go of the three Frodo men he caught with his own hands.

If Denethor knew, he would definitely punish faramir severely or even execute him.

Everyone is waiting for faramir's decision.

Didn't let the people wait long.

Faramir took a deep breath, looked firmly at the middle-aged Warrior Leader and said, "let him execute me."

Then he looked at the two hobbits not far away, looked at the soldiers beside him and ordered:

"Let them go."

Hear faramir.

Frodo and Sam Ziqi breathed a sigh of relief.

The body was in a mess, and the injured Gulu had no expression at this time. No one knew what he was thinking.

"You come with me..."

Faramir said and walked forward.

Frodo and Sam followed immediately.

Gulu followed.

He followed behind faramir and walked hard through the ruins of the city under his feet for half an hour.

Several people stopped in front of a low ruins passage.

"This is it..."

Faramir pointed to the dark waterway ahead and said, "this was once the underground drainage of the city."

"Go through here and you can reach the opposite edge of the city."

"There's a forest over there that can protect you from leaving..."

After some explanation, faramir looked at Frodo again and asked, "by the way, which way are you going to go to modo after you enter the woods?"

Catch two little hobbits these days.

Faramir already knew that their goal was to go to modo and shoulder the incomparable mission of destroying the ring.

This is also the main reason why he felt compassion and wanted to let them go.

"Gulu said there was a way..."

Hearing faramir's question, Frodo glanced at the grunt and continued, "close to the Minas grotto and extend to the mountain."

Faramir is familiar with the "Minas Grottoes" that used to be the city of Gondor.

Hearing Frodo's words, he immediately remembered something, frowned and asked, "chilisugo?"

But look at Frodo and Sam with a blank face.

Faramir immediately understood, turned his head, grabbed the strange looking Gulu's neck, pressed it on the stone pillar, and asked fiercely, "qilisugo..."

"Is that the name of the road?"

"No..."

"No..."

Gulu, who was tightly strangled by his neck, struggled with pain and looked away at Frodo and Sam.

"Isn't it?"

Seeing that the monster refused to say, faramir immediately increased his strength and grabbed Gulu's neck.

"Yes..."

"Yes, yes, it's chilisugo..."

Gulu struggled to finish.

"Hum..."

Faramir snorted coldly. He knew that the monster was dishonest. He turned to look at the two hobbits. Faramir whispered:

"Frodo, they say that there are dark and evil monsters living in the pass above the Minas grottoes."

"You'd better not go that way."

The voice fell, and Gulu immediately struggled to answer, "but there is only one way."

"The master said he must go to modo, so he must try..."

Faramir looked at Frodo with a dignified face.

Frodo nodded firmly, "I must try."

The voice fell.

Faramir was silent.

He was born in Gondor, grew up in Gondor, and fought in Gondor.

He knows too much about modo terror.

As a fortress of the ring spirit, Minas devil's cave attacks the bridgehead of Gondor, the strongest King country in the Middle Earth world. There is no need to say more about its terror.

Therefore, he knew more than anyone the difficulty and danger of Frodo's trip.

Looking at the two hobbits who were embarrassed and pale for a long time.

Faramir took a deep breath, raised his hand and threw the monster grunt aside. Looking at the little man in front of him, faramir said in a deep voice: "then go, Frodo..."

"Take all the blessings of good human beings..."

"Thank you..."

"Faramir..."

Frodo and Sam are on their way.

Gulu was one step behind and was strangled by faramir again. He pressed on Qiang and said in a cruel voice, "I don't know what your purpose is, and I don't want to know."

"But if you dare to take them into danger, I will kill you!"

"Go away..."

Faramir said fiercely, threw down Gollum and looked at the monster in front of him coldly.

Gulu was afraid to turn over and stand up. He didn't dare to look at the humans behind him. He immediately climbed to the water channel in front with his hands and feet.

When you can't see the human figure behind you.

Gulu's face immediately became extremely twisted.

"You look good. Look at these injuries?"

"Scolded, beaten... Is that what you said you would take care of our master?"

"No, the master doesn't want this..."

"But he just stood there watching, indifferent."

"He just needs to persuade the human, we won't be hurt, but he just stands there and watches!"

"No, the master doesn't want to hurt us..."

"But he broke his promise!"

"Isn't it?"

"No, no... don't ask Smith..."

"Smego doesn't know..."

"Smeagol is so painful..."

"The master betrayed us!"

"He is hypocritical, treacherous and full of lies... We should break his dirty neck and kill him!"

"Kill both!"

"Then we take the baby..."

"Then we are the masters!"

"But..."

"But the fat hobbit, he can see that he has been staring at us..."

"Then blind him in the eye..."

"Then dig out his eyes and kill him!"

"No, no, no, it's too risky..."

"The fat man eats a lot. We can't beat them both..."

"Too risky..."

"Then we can leave them to her... You know?"

"Yes, she can do it. That's a good idea..."

"Good idea... Just kill them and we can take the baby..."

"Then, we are the owner of the baby..."

"OK... Ok..."

......

Night.

Helm deep valley.

Clarion castle.

In the brightly lit city hall and the square, there was a lot of noise.

Defeated the great enemy Eisinger.

Although Rohan side also paid a lot of casualties.

However, under such difficult circumstances in the kingdom of Rohan, this war of winning more with less is definitely worth promoting and celebrating.

This is also a celebration that must be held to appease the soldiers, the people and enhance the people's confidence.

At this time, the top of the hall is on the long table.

King Theoden, with one arm and half of his shoulder tightly wrapped in white gauze, sat at the top of the long table.

Beside him sat Gandalf Morgan, Aragon, Legolas and Jinli, members of the expedition who made great contributions to the neutrality of the war.

On the other side, there were a number of leaders, including Lord eikenbrand, eomer, roslorian, Haldir, Mullen and so on.

When the party officially begins.

When the wounded king Theoden stood up with the help of his attendants behind him and raised his high glass.

"Hua Hua..."

All the people who were qualified to enter the hall immediately stood up.

Theoden raised his glass and looked at Morgan Gandalf Legolas, who solemnly said, "thank you for what you have done for Rohan..."

"On behalf of the whole kingdom of Rohan, I sincerely thank you..."

"Rohan will not forget you..."

"You will always be friends of Rohan Kingdom, always..."

The wounded king Theoden said here and drank the red wine in the tall glass with his head up.

Morgan, Gandalf, Aragon, Legolas, Jinli and other five people will soon drink up the wine in the cup.

Next second.

"Pop, pop, pop..."

Deafening applause and cheers immediately broke out inside and outside the hall.

The five members of the expedition team stood in the hall and enjoyed the applause and cheers of the whole audience inside and outside the hall, except for some blushing golden bolts when they enjoyed their eyes in front of everyone.

Morgan and Gandalf Aragon Legolas all looked calm.

This is the cheers and glory they deserve.
