On this trip, Edward did not tell anyone but Galadriel, for fear that others would object. In their eyes, Sauron was already at the end of the crossbow, and the orc army was no longer an obstacle in front of the coalition forces in Middle-earth.
However, Edward adhered to the attitude of ******** and still came to Mordor to find Frodo. The Lord of the Rings is a matter of life and death for the evil leader Sauron, and if Sauron gets it, even if he is powerless to fight against the Middle-earth coalition forces, he runs away and hides, and if he continues to fight in a few years, it will plunge Middle-earth into the shadow of evil again.
This is something Edward does not want to see, and his experience tells him that if the forces of evil are not uprooted, the people who will end up swallowing the consequences will be those who are now getting carried away.
In order to act in secrecy and not attract Sauron's attention, Edward said goodbye to Guan He, wrapped up Xingyao, and went deeper into Mordor alone. Galadriel gave him the approximate location of Frodo's party, believing that he would be able to find them with the help of his tracking skills.
Due to the presence of the Doomsday Volcano and the indiscriminate deforestation of the Orcs, Mordor is a scorched earth. It's full of bare rocks and hot lava, and there's hardly a hint of green to be seen.
Due to the attraction of the Middle-earth Alliance, there were few traces of orcs in Mordor, and all the orcs were concentrated near the Black Gate by Sauron to fend off the final attack of the righteous faction, which allowed Edward to advance quickly.
Two days later, Edward sensed that Legolas was moving north through the soul link, and Alan followed suit. This meant that the Middle-earth coalition had finally begun their assault on Mordor, and Edward himself had come to the vicinity of Mount Doom and found the traces of Frodo and the three in a tower.
Sauron also seems to have learned that the Ring is within Mordor. In recent days, its huge eyeballs have scanned Mordor more frequently, and the path to the Doomsday Fire has been filled with a number of orcs. The four escaped ringlings also put on their armor again, and rode flying beasts to hover over the fire.
Edward climbed over a hill and leaned on it to watch the situation of Mount Doom. His skin was covered with a skin like lava, and his face was the same, as if he had crawled out of the lava element. In the past few days, the volcanic life has made the Edward Li family demon hunter bloodline react, and his skin has become extremely suitable for hot areas, and his strong fire resistance has made him feel no discomfort in this hot climate.
Luckily, these symptoms would disappear after leaving the hot area, leaving only fire resistance, otherwise Edward wouldn't want to stay here for long, he wouldn't want to be an ugly monster.
Observing the heavily guarded path of the Doomsday Volcano, Edward frowned. In this case, it is impossible for the three of Frodo to enter the interior of the volcano and destroy the Ring under any circumstances.
He searched the neighborhood for a while, and on the fourth day, he finally found a very new footprint.
Following this trail, Edward soon spotted the trio lying in a hidden place, dressed in orc armor.
All three were wearing helmets, their faces were pale and dirty, their hair was disheveled, and their lips were cracked. After observing for a while, they leaned weakly against the mountain wall.
"Damn, we managed to get here, but we were stopped by these orcs. Boromo threw a orc sword on the ground and cursed, "With these orcs, we can't get to the inside of the volcano." β
"There must be a way, God will not let us work hard until now, but give such a tragic ending. Sam didn't give up, and he was still lying there to check, but his efforts were destined to be in vain.
"We're hungry and thirsty right now, and even if we wanted to, we didn't have the strength to rush in. Frodo also seemed to give up, leaning against the mountain wall and said weakly.
"Maybe when Edward and the others attack, we can sneak in?" Sam said.
"How long will we have to wait?" said Boromo feebly, "we may end up starving to death in this desolate place." β
At this moment, there was a shout of killing near the Black Gate in the northwestern part of the Fire Mountain, and the orcs in Mordor poured out of their nests, all of them flocked to the Black Gate.
The three of them immediately came to their senses and lay down to observe the situation, but to their disappointment, the strong orcs and ring spirits guarding the Doomsday Volcano did not leave and were still there!
"Look, Sauron must already know where we are. The three of them lay down weakly, and Boromo said, "The walls of the Black Gate of Mordor are too tall for Edward to break through him, and Sauron can hold on to it while sending troops to search for our whereabouts." β
"Maybe you're right, but Mr. Edward can do anything, and he must have a way to break through the Black Gate. Sam retorted that he admired Edward.
"Yes, I have a way to defeat Sauron, but not from the Black Gate. Edward climbed up from behind them, smirking.
The three of them were taken aback fiercely, habitually picked up their weapons, and looked at Edward.
"You...... What kind of monster are you!" Boromo protected the two hobbits behind him, holding a long sword.
"I am Edward. Edward smiled and took out the star and shook it in front of the three of them, "This lava skin is just my disguise. β
"It's really you!" all three knew Edward's iconic weapon, and even though Starlight was wrapped in a layer of cloth, the exposed hilt of the sword and the gem belonging to the elves allowed them to confirm its identity.
Edward pounced, pinning down the trio, dodging Sauron's glances.
"It's thrilling to see you under these circumstances. Pollomo said with relief, and Edward could see that the warrior of Gondor had fulfilled his duties as a guard, and even had several scars on his face, "At this point, my duty is complete." β
"Yes, I'm proud of you, Warrior Boromo. Edward took out some dry food and water, handed it to the hungry and thirsty three, watched them gobble up, and said, "I'll take care of the rest." But Frodo, you, as the holder of the Ring, will walk this last path with me!"
Frodo habitually clutched his chest, a look of struggle on his faceβthe closer he got to Sauron, the more powerful the Ring's demagogic power became. But in Edward's expectant eyes, Frodo finally made up his mind and nodded vigorously.
"I'll help you too!" the well-fed Boromo thought for a moment before finally deciding.
"Me too!" Sam echoed.
"Very well, you are fearless warriors, and together the three of us will help Frodo enter the interior of the volcano. Edward nodded with satisfaction, "Don't you see those guards?" These strong orcs are not to be feared, but the Ring Spirit and Sauron in the air are very deadly to you, I will find the opportunity to charge to the top of the mountain, you just need to follow my footsteps and hide in my holy light barrier!"
"When we reach the cave at the top of that volcano, there will be nothing stopping us from destroying the Ring!"
All three nodded at the same time and swallowed.
In their opinion, this well-guarded journey is almost the road to death, and it is false to say that they are not afraid.
"Don't be nervous, I'm sure you'll do a good job!" Edward closed his eyes and gave Legolas a vague command, then lay down on the hill and waited.
After a while, there was a sudden loud noise from the side of the Black Gate, and a burst of holy light rose from the ground, almost hitting the Black Gate with a bang, and it was crumbling. Whether it was the orc guards, the Ring Spirits in the sky, or the Magic Eye of Sauron, they were all attracted to the attention and looked over there. Two of them even flew towards there.
"This is the time!
With a light roar, Edward jumped out of the hill first, shaking off the stars and taking the lead in the orc guards.
The three of Frodo exerted the last of their strength and followed him like crazy.
Edward did not unleash the Light Barrier at first, but silently slashed the orc guards with Starlight. It was only when they had reached the middle of the trail that Sauron's magic eye shone through.
"Edward Epee!" Sauron's voice was filled with fear, "you fools!
At this time, Edward unfurled the barrier of holy light, and made rapid progress towards the top of the mountain despite Sauron's magic eye and the shadow breath of the Ring. The orcs inside Mordor no longer converged on the Black Gate, but rushed towards this side, trying to stop Edward and the others.
But it was too late, at this time Edward had already rushed to the top of the mountain, and the strong orc guards had no enemy in front of Edward, and the attacks of the Ring Spirit and the Demon Eye were also blocked by his holy light barrier.
"Mighty Edward, stop, with your strength, we can join forces to rule the entire Middle-earth continent!" Seeing that he couldn't stop Edward, Sauron began his tricks, "We can enslave all the creatures on this continent, and you will be an equal existence to me, you ......"
"You are doomed to perdition today!Sauron. Edward slashed the last of the orcs with a single sword, allowing the three of Frodo to enter the volcanic cavern, while he blocked the entrance to the cave and looked directly into Sauron's eye with disdain, "Your temptation is useless to me!
"You're not going to make it!damn Edward Heavysword!" Seeing that the temptation failed, Sauron began to curse, and instead began to bewitch Frodo, who had entered the cave.
Edward was about to go in and help, but the four Ringwraiths jumped off the beast, forcing Edward to stay.
"Don't let me down! Frodo Baggins!" Edward yelled and attacked the four Ringwraiths! )
