Chapter Seventy-Six: Middle-earth in the Closet (End)

The arrival of the Ringwraith has nothing to do with the Saruman Army, they are here for the One Ring, the people of the Fellowship of the Ring are here, Frodo and Sam are naturally there, and he is staying in the geode with the "Shield-Bearer" Iowen.

The Fallen Beasts hovered over Hornkeep, and the Ringwraith did not participate in the attack, as the number of guards was too small for them to be involved, and they were only looking for Frodo.

Zhou Yu glanced up at the sky, and then looked at Taniguchi, the siege had been going on for a while, Gandalf and reinforcements had still not arrived, but he saw that there were many tall figures walking back and forth in the woods at Taniguchi, and the shadows were not clear to see.

He knew it was the Wild Tree people who had arrived, and they didn't attack, but only blocked the retreat of the Saruman army.

This is just a small group of Treants, who are attacking Saruman's base in Isengar at this time, where these Orcs were created.

The army was sent to attack Fort Clarifolia, and Issinger's base was empty, making it an excellent time to attack.

"Boom!"

The strong orcs launched an attack on the gate of the city wall again, and countless orcs carried battering rams and slammed the gate hard, and the earth seemed to tremble.

Behind the gate, soldiers put thick wooden stakes against the door, but to no avail, the door soon broke down, the cracks grew larger and larger, and finally, the battering ram smashed through the gate.

As soon as the gate was breached, the strong orcs and mermaids rushed in, and Aragorn and Iomo immediately ordered the line of defense to be retracted.

The city gate was lost, Zhou Yu returned to the fortress with the remaining city defenders and elf reinforcements, and then retreated to the geode, and the strong orcs were only one step away from breaking through the Horn Fort.

Aragorn, Iomer, and Tolkien discuss what to do, and it's an interesting scene where the author has a small meeting with his characters, which can only be seen in dreams.

As the orcs began to storm the stronger gates of the fortress, the situation was no longer sufficient for several leaders to continue the discussion, and Aragorn quickly made the decision to rush out to meet the battle, holding the Horn Fortress and waiting for Gandalf's reinforcements.

The horn sounded, and the valley behind echoed, as if thousands of horses had rushed out of the geode.

In the fortress hall, everyone was assembled, facing the fortress gate, the flag of the Rohan Kingdom was raised, and the few horses were distributed to Aragorn, Iomo and Tolkien.

Zhou Yu, Sabah, Crescent Moon and Bottle Sea stood behind Tolkien, they were the strongest people in the Horn Fort, and naturally they had to rush to the front line, the sound of the horn made their chests surging with blood, although they had been killed for a while just now, but it was just a simple defense of the city, and now they were going to rush face to face with the orc army that was dozens of times their number.

At the same time that the fortress gate was breached, Aragorn rode his horse and rushed into the crowd of beasts that poured into the fortress, as if pushed by an invisible giant hand, all the way forward without the slightest pause.

Tolkien shouted loudly and followed closely behind, casting buffs on the crowd, looking very happy.

He was still enjoying the dream.

Zhou Yu and the others followed behind and rushed out, and the orcs killed by Aragorn and Iomo were killed by them in seconds, rushing from the gate of the fortress to the gate of the city wall, and not a single strong orc survived along the way.

This charge greatly encouraged the soldiers, who stood outside the breached gates of the city and fought hard against the Saruman army.

A person has to face several strong orcs at the same time, Zhou Yu quickly hung the color, he was stabbed through the arm by a long halberd stabbed from the side, this is in a dream, not Yuecheng, the wound is bleeding nonstop, just when Zhou Yu hesitated to bite the orc with the [tooth marks] dream talisman, Tolkien stopped the bleeding with a magic.

So he continued to fight.

After a while, cheers suddenly erupted.

A white figure appeared at Taniguchi, with white hair and white beard, white robe and white horse, holding a white staff, which was none other than Gandalf and his beloved horse "Shadow Disease".

The Shadow Man stood up and let out a loud neighing sound, it was the Miaras Divine Horse, the fastest and most handsome horse in all of Middle-earth, and it was also one of the members of Gandalf, Eldron King, Bilbo and Frodo when they traveled to Amen Continent together, and its status was not trivial, equivalent to the White Dragon Horse in Journey to the West.

Behind Gandalf were thousands of reinforcements.

Raising his staff, Gandalf led the charge against the Saruman army, followed by two horses, none other than the North Wind and the Braised Lamb's Knee.

"Hah! It's finally here! Zhou Yu shouted excitedly, and at this point, the six dream hunters who had entered the dream realm finally gathered.

"It's finally here." The elven prince stood beside him, smiling.

The two are not talking the same thing.

Gandalf's reputation was so great that the Dlanders, who had formed an alliance with the orcs, were so frightened that they lost their will to fight, and the orcs gave up the siege and turned to meet the reinforcements.

This time, the two sides were roughly equal in number, comparing the quality of the soldiers.

In terms of quality, the side with Tolkien and the Dream Hunter had an absolute advantage, and wherever the north wind and the stewed sheep's knee went, the limbs and corpses flew over, and the two directly ploughed out two bloody paths and came to Tolkien's side.

They had come from Isengar and had participated in the Battle of Isengard, and as soon as the Treants had moved there, they quickly came to join Gandalf, and the intensity of the battle combined with the high intensity of the road made both of them look tired.

The battle continued, but not for long, as the Sarouman army began to break up, gathering and retreating, unaware that the road was not the same as when they came.

The Wild Treants began to wield their might, cutting off the retreat of the Saruman's army, forming a three-fold sandwich with the defenders and reinforcements, slaughtering the orcs.

The Wild Tree People are relatively slow, but they are extremely powerful, they are too tall to bend over, and the most powerful moves are to lift stones and kick them, and the orcs fly into the air one after another, and then fall to the ground, and they can't stop at all.

If this group of wild tree people played football, they should be able to dominate the world for thousands of years, and they are still the same team, and there is no need to bring new people at all.

The massacre continued until the morning, when the Sarouman army was completely annihilated, leaving not a single one behind.

…………

At noon, the small square in front of the fortress of Fort Clarion was full of people, there were not many resources, and everyone could get very little food, so they didn't need to get tables and chairs, they just took it in their hands and ate it.

Zhou fish, north wind, braised lamb knee, Sabah, crescent moon and sea in a bottle sit in a pile.

Eating some hard bread in his hand, Zhou Yu whispered: "Before the orcs attacked the city just now, the dark moon appeared again and attached to an elf. ”

"When?" Sabah frowned, he was standing beside Zhou Yu before the battle.

Zhou Yu told him what happened after the dark moon appeared, and the dark moon could only appear for a short period of time at a time, except in the rattan dream that Zhou Yu entered alone, it all appeared after stopping time, and left after saying a few words.

The sea in the bottle had already heard about the Dark Moon from the new moon, and said with a frown: "Could he be the one who came to Moon City before us, I mean the last batch, more than twenty years ago." ”

"Same as I thought." Zhou Yu nodded: "You said that the Dream Hunters may appear in batches, and disappear collectively because of some hidden danger, and then the next batch appears, but what if it is not a danger?" Could it be that he found some mystery and left Moon City, went outside Moon City or somewhere else? ”

"I don't rule out the possibility of that." Sabah thought for a moment and said, "But that doesn't explain why he came to you, if that's what you said, why didn't he tell you directly?" It's about saying that we're wrong, that fate can change something. ”

He was the one who woke up earlier in Moon City, and there were many things he had explored and discovered, and Dark Moon said that they were mistaken, and he would inevitably feel uncomfortable.

Beifeng also nodded: "Even if he wants to tease us, he can make it clearer, saying that these vain things will only confuse us, and it will not be good for us, nor will it have any bad effect." ”

"Maybe......" Before Zhou Yu could finish his words, he suddenly saw Tolkien and Gandalf hugging each other and walking towards him.

Tolkien is younger, the wrinkles on his face are gone, only the corners of his eyes still have faint crow's feet, and he is already a middle-aged man in his forties.

"Everyone, I'm here to say goodbye to you." Tolkien smiled and said to the crowd.

"Farewell?" Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, looked around, and did not find the triangular black door, indicating that the task had not been completed, why did he have to say goodbye?

"Yes, the next road will not be dangerous, I can just walk by myself, and I don't need your protection." The broadsword in Tolkien's hand was gone, replaced by a walking stick.

"It's okay, we'll go with you too, it's okay to stay here anyway, where are you going?" Zhou Yu admires Tolkien and hopes to talk to him more.

"I'll go to the Charles." Tolkien said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go together, I've already wanted to take a look at the hobbit's village." Zhou Yu and they stood up.

Tolkien thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

The group said goodbye to the Fellowship of the Ring and left Hornkeep.

Then there was another time jump in the dream, and they walked north for a short time until they came to a small, scenic village in the Charlesey district, the home of Perkins and Frodo.

Standing at the door of the Hobbit's tavern, Tolkien looked about forty years old, he tore the blue robe on his body, threw the walking stick in his hand, restored himself to the dress of an English gentleman, tidied up his dress, pushed the door and walked into the tavern.

Zhou Yu and the others followed in, and found that the hobbit's tavern had been turned into a small bar, and in the bar sat a young man in his thirties, who got up and hugged him when he saw Tolkien.

The two sat at a table, talking earnestly, as if forgetting everything in the world, Zhou Yu sat at the next table, and saw that the two were chatting happily, and from time to time burst into laughter, but he also saw that there were tears in Tolkien's eyes.

"It's Mr. Cleaver Staples Lewis." He remembered something, and explained to the crowd: "When I first met Mr. Tolkien, he looked about seventy years old, and it was when he was seventy-one that Mr. Lewis died, and this is Mr. Tolkien's journey of remembrance." ”

Cleaver Lewis, Tolkien's lifelong friend and author of The Chronicles of Narnia, often came to the tavern to chat and share their ideas while teaching at Oxford University, and a few years later, one of them wrote The Lord of the Rings series such as The Hobbit and the other The Chronicles of Narnia such as The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

Two friends, two magical masterpieces, the origin is this small bar, this is Tolkien's trip down memory, so "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Chronicles of Narnia" meet, he misses his friend, goes back in time in a dream, returns to this tavern, and talks to old friends again.
