Chapter 37: The Bitter Gondor
The One Ring has actually disappeared for thousands of years, but what was once there is still going on.
For example, Sauron created rings for various races, and then used the One Ring to control the other rings.
Another example is the once occurrence that Sauron possessed the Supreme Ring and almost swept the entire Middle-earth continent, or it was the death battle between humans and elves that sealed Sauron.
In the eyes of the people of this world, the former Sauron was only sealed, not destroyed.
The movie is about annihilation, but the problem is that Sauron is not dead in the real sense, otherwise where would he have reawakened later?
Before, they knew that Sauron had appeared in Mordor again, but only as an evil eye.
Now, when they heard that the One Ring had reappeared, they couldn't tell what it meant.
Sauron, who was still an evil eye, had the ability to restore Mordor to strength, summoning and producing a huge army of orcs, not only beating Gondor, the most powerful kingdom of mankind, to the point of losing land, but also destroying the army in batches, and killing and wounding countless people.
What if the One Ring was acquired by Sauron again? There is no doubt that it will be another catastrophe that will sweep through Middle-earth. And this time, troops from the Western continent have also appeared in Middle-earth, and the situation may be even worse than thousands of years ago.
The forces that Middle-earth currently considers themselves to be good, their strength is simply not comparable to that of thousands of years ago.
At that time, the elves were still extremely powerful, and they were able to gather tens of thousands of troops to participate in the Great War.
The great kingdoms of mankind were able to raise more than 100,000 troops.
What now? The elves are evacuating from the Middle-earth continent, and they are the strongest Golden Forest elves clan, and I don't know if they can gather three thousand elves to participate in the battle.
The kingdom of Arnor of mankind has perished, and some of the remaining nobles have just taken out all their family funds, and I don't know if they can gather a thousand troops.
Gondor is facing a multi-faceted attack, and the confrontation with Mordor has been going on for several years, plus without the loss of the centripetal force of the royal family, it is almost half-crippled.
Because of the perverse behavior of King Xiyuton, Rohan did not mention the chaos in the civil affairs of the country, and some nobles were also exiled one after another. Those exiled nobles are not wandering around alone, because of the relationship of the system, even if they are wandering, they can bring their own retinues and private soldiers. It is equivalent to the fact that the situation of Rohan is extremely bad in terms of both national strength and military strength.
"Isenger has taken refuge in evil!" Gandalf recounted his ordeal, and then said, "Saruman is also building an army of orcs!" Before I escaped, Isinger's orc army was over 20,000! ”
An exclamation of surprise came from the mouths of many people (elves).
Twenty thousand? In the Eastern system, such a number of troops can only be described as average.
However, whether it is the real Western world or the setting of the movie, the number of troops is generally not too much.
The number of 20,000 troops is extremely large in any way, even if most of the orcs are disabled and may not have good combat effectiveness, but the 20,000 orc army is still quite bluffing.
"Mordor's orc army numbered forty or fifty thousand, and the number was still growing." Boromo stood up and said with a ridiculous expression: "Now Isinger has an army of more than 20,000 orcs?" ”
At present, only Gondor is at war with the strength of the orcs, and Sauron has always been the monarch of the orc race.
Gondor now has to fight Mordor hard, and also face the invasion of the eastern countries of Middle-earth and the western continent, and the absurdity of Boromo's face is not to express other meanings, but to express that Gondor will definitely not be able to hold on.
"The elves are busy evacuating, and the dwarves have not heard from them." Boromo glanced at the elves and dwarves with hatred, glanced at the remnants of Arnor's nobles, and said, "Rohan has broken his covenant with Gondor. You are all waiting for Gondor to die and bleed and die! ”
"It's not like we're sitting idly by." An elf who didn't know where he came from said indifferently: "The signing of the covenant requires a royal family, and Gondor is not currently ruled by a royal family. ”
The dwarves snorted a few times, and the possible demise of Gondor was a little irrelevant.
Boromo listened, but surprisingly did not refute.
The situation is that Gondor now has only a regent (prime minister), and according to the universal laws of the world, a country that is not recognized by all parties as a royal family is indeed a precondition for signing an alliance with other countries.
Aragorn sat all the time, without much expression on his face.
Boromo did not yet know that Aragorn was the last royal family of Gondor, and sat down again with a sad expression.
"Military strength is no longer able to compete with evil." Gandalf glanced at Aragorn as if he wasn't looking, and continued, "Now it's only the One Ring of Destruction! ”
Several elven forces continued to say nothing.
The dwarves still hummed, but they also hummed.
The only one who is truly desperate to dispose of the One Ring is Gondor's side.
"The One Ring?" Boromo stood up again and said, "If Sauron can use it to become powerful, so can we!" You should give the One Ring to Gondor! ”
King Elon seemed to sneer? He said slowly, "There is only one master of the One Ring, and that is Sauron. No one but Sauron was able to use it. ”
Aragorn spoke up for the first time: "The One Ring must be destroyed. ”
Boromo, who was full of anger and had nowhere to go, immediately said dissatisfiedly: "A meeting to decide the fate of Middle-earth, two rangers came, and there are hobbits who only care about eating and drinking. Are you sure this is a meeting that will decide the fate of Middle-earth? When can the Ranger speak on such an occasion. ”
"He's not a simple ranger!" Legorasho stood up and said righteously, "He is Aragorn, your king. You owe his allegiance! ”
"This one is not a simple ranger, he killed six rings, he is a legend." Gandalf first introduced Lin Bin, and then pointed to the two hobbits: "Frodo is the only one who is not bewitched by the Supreme Ring. ”
Well, Bilbo also proved that the temptation of the One Ring is a fart, and then Sam Weiss is not tempted by the One Ring in the plot of the movie, and even Merry and Peary are the same.
So, it's not just Frodo who is not controlled by the One Ring, it should be that the hobbits have such abilities?
It should be, the One Ring seduces hobbits.
The hobbit then asks if the One of the Rings can give food?
The One Ring replied that it would make the hobbit the overlord of the world.
Hobbit says that as long as the food.
The One Ring is helpless against this group of hobbits who have no other desires than good food.
The people present just glanced at Frodo, and their attention was all on Lin Bin.
