Chapter 248: The Witch King of Angmar and Beorn the Skin-Changer
As the head of the Nine Rings, the specific identity of the Witch King of Angmar is unknown, and it is estimated that only the dark king Sauron, who turned these humans into ringing spirits, will know it.
However, as powerful humans who were once corrupted by the Ring of Power, they were powerful warriors, mages, and sorcerers among humans before they were corrupted, and after obtaining the Ring of Power, they gained the power to travel to and from the Netherworld, and their invisibility and immunity to many physical damage made it difficult for ordinary people to deal with.
They are the nine most powerful minions of the Dark Lord Sauron, and a nightmare for many in Middle-earth.
But the most frightening thing about the Ringwraiths is that they can't really be killed, even if you try your best to defeat them and destroy them, but only temporarily.
It won't be long before they will be able to return to the earth, and without any loss, they will be almost immortal, and only by defeating their master Sauron can they take down these evil minions.
It is precisely because of this that for thousands of years, countless lives have died at the hands of the Nine Great Ring Spirits, and they have always been the great enemies of the forces of the Bright Camp in Middle-earth.
And the Angmar Witch King is the most powerful of the nine rings, and some people call him the king of the rings.
The kingdom of Angmar, which he once ruled, even conquered more than half of the entire Middle-earth continent, and countless major races died at his hands, although in the end his invasion failed and was overthrown by the heroes of the time, but he still became one of the most well-known terrifying beings among the nine great rings.
After several days of traveling, when Bolg rode a wolf and led his men to Doguldu, he had even entered the shattered ancient city and felt the power of darkness expanding in this ancient city.
This force was so powerful that even the weather in the sky was affected by this, and thick dark clouds covered the top of the ancient city, and it did not go up for a long time.
For other races, these dark forces may make them feel physically uncomfortable, fearful, angry, and even weak, but for the Orks, being able to live in a place where the dark forces are abundant will only make them stronger and stronger, and the race will multiply more and more.
Bolger took a deep breath, feeling that his anger at his father's death had also been slightly relieved in this dark breeding place.
He walked into the city with his men, and immediately felt that some power in the city seemed to be calling him, and he couldn't help but surrender and bow down.
Before he could react, a low, deep voice that made people involuntarily frightened came into his ears.
"You seem to be the son of Azog, what's your name? Why didn't Azog come here? ”
With the appearance of the voice, a phantom figure wearing a black cloak, a simple metal crown on his face, and a metal visor, unable to see his appearance, slowly appeared in a dark door.
Hearing this question, which did not contain any emotion, a trace of anger surged in Polger's heart, but he did not choose to fight against this powerful force, but lowered his head, did not dare to look at the phantom of the powerful man, and said respectfully:
"Your Excellency Witch King Angmar, my name is Polg, my father Azog has been killed by the dastardly dwarves, and the skull on top of my head comes from him."
"Not only that, but even the orc town in the Misty Mountains has suffered heavy losses, and more than half of the orc kings and orcs there have died, and the orc town has become a ruin."
The voice in the darkness was silent for a few seconds, as if thinking about something, and then the voice continued:
"Tell me everything you know, carefully."
Ten minutes later, after Polg had finished telling everything he knew, the voice of the Witch King of Angmar also became a little solemn, he was able to capture the place guarded by thousands of orcs in such a short period of time, and it was obvious that the strength of the other party was also very strong.
He pondered for a few seconds before continuing:
"It's okay, Bolger."
"From today onwards, you will be in charge of the Orcs in the north."
"Moriah and the orcs of the Misty Mountains, all under your command."
"Regarding the matter of the Lone Mountain Dwarf Squad, I will send someone to take action personally."
"Your task now is to go to the north to gather a large army, forge armor, forge weapons, gather a powerful army, and wait for the call of your master."
"Our great master is about to wake up, and the time that belongs to us is coming."
Polg was overjoyed to hear this, and with the appointment of the Witch King of Angmar, although he might still have to fight a certain amount of battle to conquer other orc clans, with the name of Orthodoxy, his reign would undoubtedly be much less troublesome.
"Yes, Lord Witch King Angmar, Polg is ready for your orders."
………………
And just as the orc armies throughout the north began to assemble, and the Witch King of Angmar noticed the team of dwarves in the Lonely Mountain, Wayne and the others, led by Gandalf, came to a huge wooden house located outside the dark forest.
Wayne and the others took a closer look at the huge wooden house, and found that it was like a place inhabited by huge giant creatures, many of the objects were several times larger than ordinary objects, but the surrounding equipment was very complete.
Not only are there wells, farmland, fences, well-groomed roads, but also a lot of fruits and vegetables are grown, and it is obviously a long-term habitation place.
Thorin, whose spirit had improved a lot, couldn't help but ask Gandalf after seeing the environment here:
"What kind of place is this, is it an acquaintance of yours who lives here, Gandalf?"
Gandalf heard this, took a puff of his pipe, and said with some vagueness:
"Ah, yes, this is the residence of an old friend of mine, maybe we can spend the night here tonight."
And just as Thorin was about to ask something more, Bilbo, who had sharper eyes, suddenly pointed in a direction to the north of them, and shouted in a somewhat frightened voice:
"Bear, such a big bear, it's coming at us."
When everyone heard this, they immediately looked in the direction that Bilbo was pointing at, and saw a huge brown bear with a body length of six or seven meters, brown hair all over his body, and very strong limbs, lying on the ground with a height of four or five meters, was rushing towards them from a hillside with its mouth open, like a running hill.
It is about five or six times the size of an ordinary brown bear, and even just by looking at its appearance, one can imagine the strength and strength of this bear.
No one had ever seen such a huge giant bear, and they subconsciously wanted to escape, and Gandalf shouted directly:
"Run into the house first, hide there, the bear should not be able to enter the house."
When the others were about to do so, they were hurriedly turning their horses' heads and causing a panic, when Wayne suddenly said:
"Why are you running, it's just a giant bear, what's there to be afraid of?"
With that, he whistled, and then asked Gandalf meaningfully:
"Gandalf, is this giant bear a friend or foe, and do you need me to kill him?"
Before Gandalf could reply, Robin, the Deathclaw, who heard his master's whistle, immediately let out a roar of excitement.
Without the slightest hesitation, he rushed towards the giant bear at an extremely fast speed.
If this giant bear, which is five or six times larger than the average brown bear, is a terrifying beast, then Robin, the deathclaw running towards it, is like a Tyrannosaurus rex that has been king since the time of the dinosaurs.
Both in appearance and size, Deathclaws are firmly stronger than giant bears.
Gandalf and the others, who had witnessed the deathclaw battle, knew even more clearly how amazing the defense and strength of this giant beast were, it seemed that the giant bear, which had just looked extremely terrifying, was nothing at once, and the dwarves immediately gave up escaping, and began to turn their heads one after another, looking in the direction where the two giant beasts were about to collide with the posture of watching the play.
And Gandalf also thought of the horror of the deathclaw, and his expression immediately became anxious, and he shouted to Wayne:
"Don't let Robin hurt him, Wayne, this bear isn't a bad guy."
In fact, Wayne knew this in his heart for a long time, and he gave Robin the same order.
Both behemoths were running fast, and in the blink of an eye, they collided.
As everyone expected, although the giant bear looked very terrifying, it was completely inferior to the deathclaw, the bodies of the two giant beasts collided together, and the giant bear would fall to the ground in an instant, and then be pressed to the ground by the strong deathclaw, and the strong hind limbs stepped directly on his chest, and the bloody mouth full of countless sharp teeth bit his neck in an instant.
The sharp teeth and the smell of blood immediately brought the giant bear back to its senses, and it was pressed to the ground and struggled desperately.
Gandalf, on the other hand, quickly rode up to the bear's side and shouted:
"Beorn, turn back into human form, we are not enemies, we will not hurt you."
The strength of the deathclaw was too great, even if this giant bear was also known for its strength, but in the face of the deathclaw that was even bigger than him, no matter how much he struggled, he could not break free.
Finally, after a few tens of seconds, the giant bear began to slowly shrink and turned into a naked giant wearing only shorts.
