Chapter 134: After the War

The battle of the Demon Hunter Fortress is over, and the orc forces led by Sauron have once again suffered the biggest blow since the Battle of the Five Armies. In this battle, the losses of the orc army were far greater than the battle of the five armies, not only the orcs from Angmar Mountain and Gundaba were almost wiped out, but even some of the orcs from the southern Mordor were also wiped out.www.biquge.info The orcs reached for the bridgehead in the middle of Middle-earth, and Dolgordor also fell into the hands of the elves of Roslorian.

The story of this battle was recorded by the elven poets of Rivendell, the Dark Forest, and Roslorian, and it was sung in the form of poetry, and even among dwarves, humans, and hobbits, and became the most talked about topic of conversation at the time.

Among these rumors, the most exciting is undoubtedly the battle against the Demon Hunter Fortress, in the face of all the Rings dispatched, the northern orcs captured the fortress, the dwarves and elves united to encircle and annihilate all the orcs who had just captured the fortress in the fortress.

The battle was also a crucial battle for victory, as three of the nine Ringwraiths were eliminated, and Angmar and King Khamur fled with serious injuries, requiring at least many years of recuperation under the influence of the Light.

Of course, several heroes who were active in this campaign are also known to many people, such as Edward, Aragorn, Legolas, Kimli, Bion, Haldir, Gandalf, Glorfindel, Dane, etc., whose names often appear in people's mouths. While people sing the praises of their great deeds, they also yearn for them. Young people who are full of hope for the future are also aiming for these people and are constantly sharpening.

As the ruler of the Demon Hunter Fortress, the commander of the Demon Hunter Knights, and the commander of the coalition forces in the Battle of the Stronghold, Edward's reputation has undoubtedly increased the fastest, and he has risen from a figure known only to a few old people to a household name hero. People looked through his past and were surprised to find that the demon hunter commander had also participated in the Battle of the Five Armies, was a key figure in the revival of the Dwarven Kingdom of the Lonely Mountain, and was the lifesaver of the Dwarven King Thorin.

And those who have seen Edward have confirmed that this demon hunter commander is a human who looks only in his twenties!

It has been thirty-eight years since the Battle of the Five Armies, and Edward looked like this at that time, a human being has gone through thirty-eight years, but he is still young, which is easy to reminisce.

Throughout the ages, the ability to stay forever young is the most coveted, and the elves have this ability because of the protection of Vera, the Sacred Twin Tree, and the Elven Three Rings, but how can a human get an eternal lifespan?

The answer was soon revealed to the dwarves and elves who speculated and participated in the battleβ€”it was the power of the Light.

As a result, a large number of characters who yearn for this power leave their homeland and march towards the Demon Hunter Fortress, hoping that they too will gain the favor of the Holy Light.

On the third day after the end of the fortress ranks, a group of horsemen appeared on the plain of the fortress, and the leading knights met Legolas on patrol. He jumped off his horse and paid the highest courtesy to these elven paladins who had fought valiantly against the orcs.

"Are you knights from Rohan?" Legolas jumped off his horse as well, looked at the team's flags, and saluted back.

"Yes, I am Iomond, Marshal of the Rohanate, a distant relative of King Hiudun of the Rohanate. The knight at the head took the initiative to introduce himself.

"You're too late, the war is over, the orcs are dead, and there is no enemy to kill you. Legolas said dissatisfied, "Also, I remember when did the king of the Rohan Kingdom seem to be His Majesty Sejel, and when did he become Hiyudon?"

"I'm sorry for the lack of timely reinforcements. "But when the two elven messengers arrived in Rohan, we were giving the old king a funeral. ”

Hearing this answer, Legolas's face changed much better, after all, the change of king was very important, and they could not let go of this important ceremony for reinforcements. What's more, although there are not many cavalry from the Rohan Kingdom, the leader is the marshal of a country, which shows its sincerity.

Legolas led the Rohan cavalry towards the fortress, and in the distance, a thick cloud of smoke could be seen rising from outside the fortress.

Iomond was taken aback, but settled down when he saw that Legolas was not nervous.

"It's the smoke of burning the corpses of orcs. Legolas was visibly disgusted by the smell, and covered his mouth and nose with his hand, "There are so many orcs we've killed, and these damned creatures don't deserve to be buried, so we'll use flames to purify their rotten corpses." ”

"That's right. Iomund nodded in agreement, "Everything the orcs have must be purified, and their very existence is a blasphemy. ”

Legolas led the group onwards and entered the outer walls of the Demon Hunter Fortress.

It's a busy place, with dwarves and elves sweating and rebuilding the outer walls. Both the rude dwarves and the haughty elves were shirtless, carrying heavy stones in the midst of a dwarf's shout, but with no disgust on their faces, but smiles on their faces.

A towering figure was among them, and the Earth Elemental King only needed to stretch out his finger to fill the many gaps in the outer walls. But he is a large creature after all, and he can't do anything about small loopholes and details, which is why he needs the help of dwarves and elves.

"It's such a majestic fortress, I can't imagine how she could have appeared here out of thin air. Looking at the fortress that was fanning with divine light, Iomond couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey, Legolas, you're lazy again!" the dwarf in charge interrupted Iomond's exclamation, grumbling, "the rebuilding will take three days to complete, and I won't be able to enjoy a delicious celebration until then, so why don't you hurry up and go outside?"

"Who are these? from the Rohanate? What are they doing now?

The only people who dared to talk to Legolas like this were Jin Li and Dane, and Dan led the army back after the battle, so there was only Jin Li.

"Shut up, foul-mouthed dwarf, I'm on patrol, not wandering!" Legolas sneered, "Besides, His Majesty the King of the Rohan Kingdom had just died when the battle took place, so they were a few days late. ”

"You can't blame them, His Excellency Iomond, the marshal of the Rohanate, has personally led his army. ”

Iomond nodded gratefully to Legolas, thanking him for his defense.

"Well, that's what I said, I take back my previous words. Kim was very disgraceful and immediately apologized to Marshal Rohan.

"It's a little late, but I still want to thank you for coming. A young and handsome human came up at this time, with a bare upper body and ordinary linen trousers underneath, as if ready to work with these "hard laborers".

"Don't mind my faux pas, Lord Eomund, I didn't know you were coming. I'm Edward Lee. The young man held out his hand.

"You are Mr. Edward?" Iomond shook hands with Edward, then solemnly greeted him with a general's salute, "You are now the most legendary figure of our human race, and I am honored to meet you." ”

Edward smiled and shook his head, patting Iomond's arm.

Iomond looked at the "young man" in front of him, and his heart was full of admiration.

"Are you going to work, do you need our help?" asked Iomond suddenly, "our reinforcements are coming a little late, and now it looks like the only thing we can do is make up for our guilt." ”

"Then what are you waiting for? Come, Your Excellency Marshal. Before Edward could speak, Jin Li was the first to speak, "You can't do anything in armor. ”

............

In the evening, Edward entertained the weary Iomond with a banquet attended by the Knights of the Demon Hunters, Gandalf the Grey Wizard and Hardir of Roslorian. The latter received orders from Galadriel and has now joined the Demon Hunter Knights with his elven knights.

Iomond was frustrated, as his soldiers had been defeated by the paladins in carrying the masonry, and had been mocked by the dwarven craftsmen on the wooden scaffolding.

"Don't mind the dwarves, Lord Marshal. Gandalf raised his glass to Iomond and comforted, "They're all outspoken people, and lies and deception rarely come to dwarves. ”

"So, we deserve to be laughed at by them?" said Iomond, a little angrily.

This is not a mockery, but an encouragement. "I've been teased by this bastard elf, but that didn't frustrate me at all, so I joined the Demon Hunter Knights." ”

Jin Li pointed at Legolas and clenched his fist that shimmered with holy light, "Now if he dares to laugh at me, I'll give him some color." ”

"Come on, let me see your color, foul-mouthed dwarf!" Legolas stood up in dismay, his mouth full of crossbows, and motioned for the golden bolt to go outside and fight.

So Jin Li stood up without hesitation and followed Legolas outside, shouting, "Declare in advance that you are not allowed to use bows and arrows!"

"Don't be discouraged, Marshal Aeomund. Edward ignored the pair and toasted to Marshal Rohan, "You can stay, the Light will not abandon any good ones." ”

"Thank you for having me. "I'm not going to be here, but the warriors who came with me can, and maybe my future children can join the Knights, and I hope Mr. Edward can teach them." ”

"Welcome. Edward laughed, "You can tell anyone that the Demon Hunter Knights welcome anyone who dares to stand up to evil!"
