Chapter 5089 Chapter 5092 [Leading the snake out of its hole]

"No, there is still hope for Frodo." Aragorn saw that Gandalf was so depressed, but he was unwilling to give up and waved his hand, "He needs time to pass through the plains of Gorgoroth safely. We can help him."

Mordor is a large area surrounded by the Mountains of Ash and Shadow. In terms of area, it is only slightly smaller than Gondor and Rohan.

Mordor is divided into the Plains of Gorgoroth, the Plains of Nurn, and the Sea of ​​Nurn. The Doomsday volcano is located in the Plains of Gorgoroth.

Frodo and Sam must cross the Plains of Gorgoroth to enter Mordor from the path beside Minas Morgul and reach Mount Doom.

But there are tens of thousands of orcs living on the plains of Gorgoroth. They are Sauron's most loyal servants. Once they find Frodo and Sam, they will definitely attack them.

So they need to lure these orcs out.

"How?" Boromir asked.

"Draw out Sauron's host, clear out his lair, and clear the way for Frodo and Sam," Aragorn explained to the others. "We will gather our forces and attack the Black Gate."

"But our forces are no match for them." Eomer said worriedly.

The combined forces of Gondor and Rohan still numbered more than 10,000 people, but the orc army of Mordor must be at least tens of thousands.

Therefore, once a fight breaks out, it is difficult for them to win. After all, two fists cannot defeat four hands, and a hero cannot defeat a large number of people.

"We don't have to win. We just need to divert the evil eye's attention from Frodo to us, so that he has no time to care about anything other than the battlefield." Aragorn explained.

In short, it is to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

"That would be tantamount to seeking death," Boromir said in surprise, shocked by Aragorn's audacity.

"Are you afraid?" Aragorn looked at Boromir.

"When do we set out?" Boromir asked immediately upon hearing this.

He knew that if Frodo did not destroy the ring, Sauron could come back at any time, and Middle-earth would be a land of smoke. So it was useless to be afraid, and he would die sooner or later.

In that case, we might as well give it a try.

"But Sauron is very cunning, he will not be fooled easily." Gandalf shook his head.

Sauron is not stupid, as a god, he is actually very smart. Otherwise, he would not have thought of using the ring to corrupt humans, elves and dwarves.

Therefore, he is likely to see through Aragorn's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain and attack the west. At that time, he will not only stay indoors, but also conduct a large-scale search for Mordor.

In this way, the chances of Frodo and Sam being exposed are even greater.

"No, he will definitely be fooled." Aragorn said firmly, then he took out the crystal stone of truth and challenged Sauron.

……

The crystal stone of true knowledge was quickly awakened, and then flames emerged from inside the crystal ball.

The flames gradually condensed and took the shape of a flaming eyeball, which was the current Sauron.

After he lost his body, only his soul remained, so he gathered himself into an evil eye and placed it on the top of the evil black tower Barad-dur, constantly monitoring Middle-earth and searching for the trace of the One Ring.

In fact, gods like the Valar and the Maia were originally formless when they were first created.

The reason why they transformed into the appearance of humans, elves, dwarves or giant spiders was just to better integrate into Arda and communicate with the creatures of Arda. Therefore, in principle, they can actually transform into any form. For example, Sauron once transformed into the form of an elf, a demon wolf, a giant snake, a vampire, etc.

But later, in order to forge the One Ring, he injected most of his power into the ring, which caused him to lose the ability to condense a perfect form.

"You have hunted me for so long, and I have been hiding for so long. Now it is time to end it!" Aragorn stared into the magic eye and challenged Sauron, "This is the sword of Elendil. It has been reforged. I will fight you to the death at the Black Gate!"

When Sauron heard Aragorn's provocation, he was immediately furious, and the flames in the crystal ball of truth suddenly burst out, more intense and dazzling than before.

A picture was also transmitted from the crystal of truth, which was the scene of Aragorn's sweetheart Arwen lying dead on the ground.

This scene immediately broke Aragorn's defense. His hands trembled and he dropped the crystal ball of truth directly to the ground.

The crystal ball of true knowledge also dimmed again.

"Don't worry, this is just an illusion. Arwen is not dead yet." Xiang Nan saw this and hurriedly advised.

Aragorn nodded. He knew Sauron was trying to intimidate him, but he would not be afraid.

……

The combined forces of Gondor and Rohan then set out for the Black Gate of Mordor.

Xiang Nan and Tao Ruier also went with the coalition forces.

It took the army two days to reach the Black Gate of Mordor from Minas Tirith.

Then I saw the sky above Mordor covered with dark clouds, a sea of ​​red.

That's because of Sauron's magic, and also because Mount Doom constantly erupts hot magma and poisonous gas, which makes the environment in Mordor so harsh.

In fact, until the destruction of the Dark Lord Sauron, other areas of Mordor became unsuitable for living except the Plains of Nurn.

Because the pollution is so serious that it cannot be cleared for hundreds or thousands of years.

The Black Gate of Mordor was built in the pass between the Mountains of Ashes and the Mountains of Shadow. It was more than ten feet high and made entirely of solid black iron.

Standing tall there, it gives people a feeling of being unbreakable and indestructible.

On the left and right of the Black Gate are two guard towers, also known as the "Towers of Fangs". Groups of orcs live there and patrol to prevent any outsiders from entering.

Afterwards, Xiang Nan, Gandalf, Boromir, Eomer and others followed Aragorn to the Black Gate and challenged, "The Dark Lord, please show yourself! I want to cut him in two!"

As Aragorn shouted, a loud rattling sound was heard, and the huge black door opened a crack.

From the black gate, walked out a man riding a black horse, wearing a black robe and his head covered in a helmet covered with spikes and thorns.

"My lord, the great Sauron, greets you all. Who among you rabble will come to negotiate with me?" he asked the crowd.

"There is no point in talking to a faithless villain like Sauron. I tell you, my master, the army of Mordor must be disbanded. He will also be driven out of this land and will never be allowed to return." Gandalf said righteously.

"Hahaha~" Hearing Gandalf say this, the man sneered, then took out something from behind and threw it to Gandalf, "Old man with gray beard, I have a gift for you~"

"Frodo~" Merry and Pippin couldn't help but say in shock when they saw it.

It turned out that the item was the mithril armor that Frodo was wearing. It was probably the only one in the world, and it was impossible to forge it. It was even more rare than dragon scale armor.
