Chapter 546: Cooperation
As Vera's army withdrew from the West, Manwe's emissary, Maia Eonwe, announced to Sauron that Vera was going to put him on trial. Ask Sauron, leave the West for Valinor, and accept Vera's unanimous verdict. At that time, Valinor's army had not yet left, and Sauron did not dare to say a word, and when Vera's army had withdrawn from the west and returned to Valinor, he had left with Maia Ionwe. Sauron immediately ran back to the east, and hid, never to show his head again, nor to show himself in Middle-earth, and for a time Valinor could not know his exact location.
And the orcs, trolls, and dragons are scattered into the vast world of Middle-earth. They hide in the gloomy mountains, in the dark crypts, and even on lonely and precipitous peaks. Under the blows of the Vera army, they were already frightened and did not dare to show their heads at all. They silently endure loneliness and extreme poverty, and reproduce. And Sauron, too, is secretly gathering these armies, and since the death of Goth Morg and the captivity of Morgoth, Sauron has been the de facto leader of these dark creatures.
However, Vera's ban has not stopped yet, so Sauron can only continue to hide and shrink. He was afraid of the verdict that the Veras would give him, and it would be even more unbearable, and that his captivity would never see the light of day. However, his spiritual belief in Morgoth, Sauron's devotion to him was incomparably greater. So much so, after his defeat, Sauron's hatred for Vera, Middle-earth, elves, humans, and dwarves climbed to a new level. He is to carry on his faith, the ideas of his master, Morgoth, and continue to oppose Vera.
In the vast Ash Mountains, Sauron hid here. Here he successively and secretly summoned many orcs to come here, and they opened deep and extensive tunnels underground, where they carefully lived, multiplied, forged weapons, armor, and so on. Together with their new master, the new leader Sauron, they hide from Vera's gaze. And today...... An evil and awe-inspiring figure, straddling a huge stag, the black dag behind him dancing in the wind, the invincible figure, staring at the endless ash mountains in front of him.
Ilfas paced with small steps, walking briskly among the mountains, and the difficult and rugged peaks under his feet could not stop him at all. He ignored nothing, carried his master on his back, and walked to the top of the mountains. Until, a hidden crypt appeared in front of them, and Ilface walked inside. Their bodies shone with a faint white light, illuminating the dark crypt, and as they gradually deepened, this light also alarmed the existence of life in the crypt.
In the darkness, a pair of eyes watched them. When they saw the true face of this man, they were so frightened that they couldn't resist in the face of him. They quietly retreated, away from the terrified figure, and then they passed the news to their new masters.
……
As Ilfas continued to penetrate deeper into the earth, this became more and more numerous, along with the endless underground crypts, leading in all directions, extending everywhere. Walking through this crypt, there is no way to know exactly where the destination is. In addition to the dark creatures such as the orcs who excavated these tunnels, other creatures entered this crypt in all directions, and they could only get lost.
However, this is not the same thing for Jiang Ning and Ilfas.
Ignoring the leading crypt in front of them, they walked straight through it, and walked towards their only goal. Eventually, they met the target of their trip, a figure dressed in hideous, angular armor.
The latter wears a peaked helmet, hideous black armor, a black sword hanging from his waist, and a sledgehammer erected next to his seat. It was Morgoth's weapon, the Hammer Grain.
"Inningville."
"Sauron."
The two looked at each other dozens of paces apart, and Sauron's hand couldn't help but touch the hilt of the sword. He looked at the figure with great vigilance, and his mind was quickly thinking about the purpose of the other party's visit. Moreover, there was a panic in his heart, the place where he was hiding was so secretive. How did the other party know where he was hiding? Now that he knew, what about the Veras of Valinor? Do they also know where they are hiding? Sauron thought about it a lot, but the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more frightened he became.
"Looks like you're not in a good place, Sauron." Jiang Ning spoke, he looked around, and said, "Because of your master's capture again, and Vera's ban, you are hiding in this dark underground, trying to avoid Vera's sight. And then, a new round of revenge, right? Although it was a question, Jiang Ning's tone was extremely affirmative.
"Aren't you like me, Inningville!" Sauron replied in a deep voice, "Villas, they will not sit idly by while your "fall" is discovered, and they will definitely return to Middle-earth and capture you back to Valinor. And once Vera finds out and can't make you "return to normal", then the result that awaits you is bound to be imprisonment. Even if you weren't imprisoned in the temple of Mandus, you wouldn't be able to return to Middle-earth, trapped in Valinor for the rest of your life. Faced with the surveillance of Vera and Maia, there is no freedom. He added: "I'm hiding underground, but I'm sure Vera's eyes won't be on me all the time." When I am well prepared, I will surely plunge Middle-earth into war again, even ......" He said with hatred, "Attack Valinor and save the Lord of Darkness!" ”
After Jiang Ning heard this, he scoffed and didn't care at all, "Sauron, you overestimate yourself too much. Also underestimating the power of Vera, in fact if you once try to attack Valinor. You won't stand a chance of winning! In Middle-earth, the power of you and me, the power of Vera, and even the power of Morgoth, are suppressed by the earth. And in Valinor, the Villas can wield more power than you can imagine. What's more, above them, there is an even more mysterious Iluvita. Your plan is doomed to fail. So is Morgoth, and so are you. ”
"Yininville, what are you going to do here?" Sauron didn't believe it, the other party had come to him just to warn him. However, he didn't dare to make a move, because the other party's strength was incomparably strong, and even the treacherous and cunning Morgoth was caught in his calculations. He was killed by the physical form, and although he was also corrupted, the strength of the other party became stronger at the same time. Sauron, when he was not absolutely sure, did not dare to make a move at all. This is especially true when he is alone.
"Let's work together, Sauron."
"You think I'm going to believe you?"
Jiang Ning's face sank, "You have no choice, Sauron. He said, "Look around Alda, you don't have any allies but me." With my presence, there is still some chance that your plan will succeed, and without me, your final fate will be extremely miserable. ”
"And what do you want?" Sauron asked, "Where is the Lord of Darkness?" ”
"I'm not interested in Morgoth's family-like power and throne. There's only one thing I've wanted from the beginning ......"
"Unquenchable fire!" Sauron said.
"That's right!" Jiang Ning nodded and admitted, "Except for the unquenchable fire, I don't have the slightest interest in anything. As long as I am not extinguished, our interests do not clash with each other, or even coincide. You and I cooperate, if it works well, you can achieve your revenge, and I can get what I want. ”
Sauron was a little moved, and he said, "Then what can you offer me?" ”
"Huh!" Jiang Ning's voice became low in an instant, and the already dim crypt seemed to become even darker in an instant. With that, a blood-colored light flashed, and his deep voice followed.
"I can give you new strength to make you stronger!"
