Early the next morning, while it was still dawn, the combined forces of Gondor and Rohan, totaling 10,000 men, under the leadership of Aragon and Siyodon, left the royal capital and marched north towards Mordor.

The army traveled in a direction parallel to the Shadow Mountains, making its way north, through the Ningdalf Wetlands, the Death Swamps, and finally at the intersection of the Shadowy Mountains and the Ash Mountains, known as the Black Gate, to duel the Mordor army to buy time for the destruction of the One Ring.

It was a negotiated distance at the meeting, and it wasn't as far as the Fellowship Squad's long journey through the Misty Mountains, but it was also very difficult.

In particular, the Death Swamp, with its countless pools and soft mud pools, and criss-crossing waterways, is the most difficult to walk.

Russell picked a stand-in among the Dendan warriors, and his younger brother Hoerbara, who is two meters tall and has the same great figure as him.

As long as you don't look at your face, no one will recognize that this is an impostor!

HORBARA: Big brother is right!

Russell, on his side, took Frodo directly through the Shadow Mountains and flanked him from the rear into the High Gros Plains in Mordor.

The two sides agreed on a time to act simultaneously in the early morning three days later, and the combined forces of the two countries launched an attack on the Black Gate, attracting the attention of the Eye of Sauron, and Russell and Frodo took the opportunity to enter the Doomsday Volcano on a giant eagle and completely destroy the One Ring.

The plan was perfect, as long as Russell didn't cook the giant eagle in one pot in three days, there would be basically no problem.

Before leaving, Gandalf was very reluctant and told the two of them in every way: "Russell, there are at least 500,000 orcs scattered in the High Gros Plains, they are all soldiers, and their sense of smell is very sensitive, remember not to cause trouble." ”

As he spoke, Gandalf patted Frodo's head and untied the iron pot he was carrying.

"Gandalf, you are prejudiced against me, and I can still take care of the priorities!" Russell was very indignant, and in a huff, he tied the iron pot back to Frodo's back.

"Okay, I won't say anything more, the giant eagle will escort you." Gandalf said, untying the iron pot.

"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, just like a person!" Russell pouted and tied the iron pot back.

Syllable!

Just as Gandalf stretched out his hand and wanted to untie the iron pot, Russell grabbed his hand and shook it vigorously: "Gandalf, I know there is still a lot to say, and I am not the same, but time is pressing, and it is useless to say more." Hold it for now, and we'll talk when I return safely with Frodo. ”

With that, Russell put aside Gandalf's hand, put Frodo on his shoulder, and swooped out, leaving Gandalf with tears in his eyes.

"What, remind Aragorn not to forget about business......"

Russell's voice sounded in the distance, and Gandalf twitched, causing the eagle to ask for more blessings and ride on a white horse to chase the army north.

……

High Gros Plains!

Mordor was under Sauron's rule for a year-round period, and the volcano of Doom often erupted thick smoke, and Sauron mixed his magic with smoke to create a black cloud that would never disappear.

When Russell and Frodo climbed over the Shadow Mountains, they saw the huge volcano that was constantly spewing magma, and the scorching red current could be seen from a long distance, which was extremely magnificent.

The Eye of Sauron constantly swept the territory of Mordor, like an oversized searchlight, every three minutes, with an error of within microseconds.

Saying this may seem like Sauron's Eye is out of class, but it also fully shows that Sauron is very terrified in his heart, and he is afraid that the One Ring will be sent to Mount Doom to be destroyed.

Sauron's mana is bound to the One Ring, and once the One Ring is destroyed, his fate will be ...... Like Saruman, Maia will not die, and the superior will be happy and will summon the soul back. If they are not happy, they ignore it and let it roam Middle-earth.

Sauron belonged to the worst group of Maia, who followed the wrong boss back then, and once the One Ring was destroyed, everything would be closed, and there would never be a day to turn over.

Only when the world is destroyed and recreated, and his boss Morgoth returns, can he be resurrected.

To avoid the Eye of Sauron, Russell and Frodo walked along the trail between the Shadowy Mountains and the High Gros Plains, which were desolate, rocky, and only had low shrubs growing in shady, damp places.

This route is not suitable for hurrying due to its many obstacles, but it is better to stay away from the orc camp than to be unnoticed.

The two walked slowly, giving priority to concealing their whereabouts, and as they walked, Russell suddenly mentioned Frodo, and ran wildly all the way.

"Russell, what's going on?"

"We're being followed!"

When Frodo heard this, his face turned bloodless with fright: "Who are we, have we been discovered by Sauron?" ”

"It's Gollum, I've seen it before."

"Surprise me, as long as it's not Sauron, Gollum must be here for the One Ring." Frodo breathed a sigh of relief, almost scared to pee.

"Perhaps......"

Russell frowned, and the appearance of Gollum made him a little suspicious if he had been discovered by Sauron.

Gollum can follow the smell of the Supreme Ring, there is no reason why Sauron, the real master, can't notice it, but if Sauron really notices it, he should send someone to surround and suppress it, and it is impossible to follow the stupid beep around there.

After running for five minutes, dodging Sauron's searchlights twice, Russell took Frodo on a recourse and deep into the jungle depths of the Shadows Mountains.

"Russell, have you already gotten rid of him?" Frodo's feet went numb and he landed on the ground with a butt drop.

"It's been thrown off for the time being."

Russell glanced behind him, Gollum's ability to sense the One Ring was very strong, as if he could receive the signal emitted by the ring, which made him very uneasy.

Russell has always had zero tolerance for instability, thinking about making Gollum quietly become a missing person, and it is definitely not possible to do it himself, in case Sauron leaves a mark on Gollum's body, killing Gollum is tantamount to revealing his whereabouts.

"Russell, there are a lot of mushrooms in the forest, I'll pick some for lunch."

Frodo put the iron pot down, and just after taking two steps, Russell pressed his shoulder: "Remember, no matter what happens, don't leave my line of sight." ”

A serious Russell was rare, Frodo nodded, gathered the mushrooms under the surrounding large trees, and stewed a pot of soup.

This place is not within the range of Sauron's searchlight, so there is no need to worry about lighting a fire to attract attention, and the two of them simply made lunch, Frodo was satisfied to put away the iron pot, while Russell carefully cleaned up the traces around him.

Not far away, in the valley, a huge spider crawled out of the cave and followed the scent of the air and appeared in front of Russell and Frodo.

（ˉ﹃ˉ）X2

Big Spider: "......"

"Frodo, have you just eaten enough?"
