Chapter 560: The Ring of Divide and Nazgul

Sauron, who failed, was naturally unwilling. He saw that he could dominate all of Middle-earth, but he fell short in a crucial battle. The defeat of this battle led to the collapse of his previous good situation in an instant. The various areas that he had previously occupied were reclaimed by the coalition forces that followed him. Not only that, but the coalition forces continued to pursue him, killing countless orcs. The people of the tribes who had been hiding in various places joined the ranks of the coalition and pursued Sauron. The dwarves who had lurked deeper underground returned to the surface and joined the coalition, increasing in number.

In a hurry, they tried to drive Sauron back to Mordor. However, after his first defeat, Sauron kept retreating. He was also constantly gathering the army in his hands, and by the time he retreated back to Mordor, the number of troops under his command had already reached a certain size. After taking advantage of the opportunity to thwart the offensive of the coalition forces, this huge war fell into a stalemate for a while. Neither Sauron nor the coalition forces were able to wage war in a short period of time.

Faced with the alliance of the three clans that were united again and united in the same spirit, Sauron could not easily defeat them. His previous situation of almost no one was broken, and the tri-clan alliance was no longer afraid of him. After recovering the occupied land, they began to restore production, forging all kinds of weapons and armor day and night. And Sauron, too, is mostly hidden in Mordor, constantly gathering his men.

At the same time, Sauron began to refine his plan.

Just as in the First Age, Morgoth thwarted the Trinity Alliance and eventually dismantled it. Sauron retrieved the sixteen rings from his treasure and left Mordor for Middle-earth. He walked through Middle-earth, searching for the most powerful human beings, including three nobles from Númenor, whom he found and gave them the rings in their hands. Among the humans, he found six more powerful humans and gave them the ring. The nine humans who received the Ring, with the help of the power of the Ring, were either kings, wizards, or powerful warriors. However, while the Lord of the Rings gives them power, it also corrupts their will. One of the most powerful of humans, who founded a nation in the northwest of the Misty Mountains, gathered a large number of refugees and founded the kingdom of Angmar. Because of the power of the Lord of the Rings, people called him the Witch King. Other human beings, under the power of the Ring, have also gained great power, and their names resounded throughout Middle-earth. However, under the corruption of the power of the Ring, they gradually lost sight, and what they could see with the naked eye gradually became unable to see clearly, and what they could touch with the flesh gradually became unable to touch. Their flesh was corrupted by the Lord of the Rings, and they gradually disappeared and became spirits like ghosts. They became slaves of the Lord of the Rings and became known as Nazgul, also known as the Ringwraith.

And the dwarves in the underground also received seven rings from Sauron. As Olli's children, the power of the dwarves should not be underestimated. Sauron wanted to manipulate the dwarves through the Ring, just as he manipulated and eventually corrupted the nine most powerful humans through the Ring. However, he underestimated the willpower of the Ring and the corrupting power of the Ring. The dwarves were not unable to resist the power of the Ring because of the Ring, as humans do, and eventually became slaves of the Ring. The dwarves got the ring, and they became extremely greedy, and the power of the ring allowed them to dig up minerals and get double the amount. This stimulates the greed of the dwarves, who use the power of the Ring to dig deeper into the earth, constantly obtaining more minerals, gold, silver, gems, etc. Eventually, the dwarves' greed paid for them as well. The dwarves of the Durin family, because of their greed, continue to dig into the ground, thus awakening the fire demons who have been sleeping from ancient times to the present. The awakened fire demon went berserk and easily destroyed the kingdom of Moria.

The refugees of the kingdom of Moria, who began to flee, migrated to other places to survive. and migrated to the Lonely Mountain, establishing a line of dwarves in the Lonely Mountain.

Because the Lord of the Rings could not corrupt dwarves, Sauron felt that he had failed again. He began to retrieve the rings he had given to the dwarves, and he managed to recover a few, but he still didn't get all of them. As for the Ring distributed to humans, because the holder of the Ring was corrupted, Sauron controlled nine powerful humans through the Ring, and received the power of humanity from the Ring. At his beckoning, nine humans who became slaves of Nazgul were sent to Mordor, and they brought him the power that belonged to humanity. Sauron's power began to increase, and at the same time, he poured his life force and will power into the One Ring, strengthening the power of the One Ring.

In Mordor, Sauron's power has grown to a terrifying power, and the smoke and poisonous gases from the eruption of the Doomsday Volcano contain his will and strength, spreading his power throughout Middle-earth. Transmitting, his terrifying aura.

At this point, the elves in the world are divided into three, the dwarf princes of the underground get seven, and the mortals who will die get nine.

The casting of the nineteen rings of power, the only one that brought Sauron benefits was the nine rings distributed to humans, allowing him to gain human power. However, what he wanted most to obtain was the power of the elves, but he did not succeed. Keller Bripeng learned of Sauron's impure thoughts in advance, and Keller Bripeng, who had an extra heart, secretly forged the Elven Three Rings. When he put on the Elven Ring, he also sensed the Supreme Ring through the power of the ring. From the One Ring, he learned of Sauron's intentions. Therefore, he gave the three elven rings to the strongest elves, and let them keep them separately, guarding the elven three rings so that he would not be obtained by Sauron.

As for the seven rings distributed to the dwarven princes, it was entirely Sauron's underestimation of the dwarves. Honest, upright, almost paranoid dwarves in their blood, they are innate, gifted by Ollie. Let them only be interested in striking iron, as well as forging all kinds of weapons, armor and all kinds of crafts. The dwarves have no interest in such things as Middle-earth's hegemony. His paranoia made them fond of gold, precious stones, and all other precious metals, as well as rare ores. Therefore, the power of the Lord of the Rings can only strengthen their abilities in this regard. The dwarves were not able to compete for supremacy, as Sauron had hoped, or to compete with elves and humans for dominance. Therefore, when he realizes his mistake, he thinks about reclaiming the ring. Although he succeeded in recovering a few of them, he still did not collect all the seven rings. Because, some of the rings had already been destroyed in the process of collecting them. This makes the One Ring's subordinate rings incomplete.

Sauron wasn't satisfied, but he didn't care about it. That's because Jiang Ning has officially informed him that the game can end at this stage. Their army is about to sweep through Middle-earth and crush Valinor!
