Chapter 265 The Prelude to the War [Please subscribe]

When the Supreme Lord of the Rings ushered in its new owner Gollum in 2463 of the Third Era, Sauron, who had fled to the Far East, had to lead his men back to Dol Guldur and put most of his attention and men on the search for the Supreme Lord of the Rings. , the minions of the evil forces once again appeared in the black forest, and the warning ended peacefully.

Sauron knew that Rey had a competitive relationship with him in the Supreme Ring. Even if Rey had said that he was not interested in the Supreme Ring, Sauron was still very wary.

This is not just a matter of Sauron's distrust of Rey, but because the Supreme Lord of the Rings contains most of his power. If he cannot control it, Sauron will always have trouble sleeping and eating. Only by taking the Supreme Ring back into his hand could he feel at ease.

And if the Supreme Lord of the Rings really falls into Rey's hands, then Sauron will really be reduced to Rey's lackey, and he will never be able to stand up again.

Therefore, Sauron must take back the Supreme Lord of the Rings no matter what, even though it may delay the process of some experiments, suffer censure from Rey, even cut off some interests, or may expose his true identity , but Sauron still returned to Dol Guldur, and aggressively sent his men to invade the Misty Mountains, establish secret strongholds in the Misty Mountains, and block all passes leading to Eriador. Sauron wanted to dominate the battle for the Lord of the Rings. Gotta go first.

Because of the rampant actions of evil things, the news that the "Necromancer" had returned to Dol Guldur also alarmed many wise men and rulers in Middle-earth. Due to the frequent and wanton actions of evil forces, in the same year, led by Radriel, The wise men established the White Council and convened it for the first time.

The White Council, also known as the Council of Wise Men or the Holy White Council, is a loose organization of wise men who hold meetings from time to time. Its declared purpose is to guide the free people of the West to fight against the Shadow.

The members of the White Council include Saruman, Gandalf, Galadriel, Elrond, Cirdan, and other Eldar lords.

Hmm~!They are all immortal handsome men and beauties, either from Valinor or quasi-residents of Valinor, either Maia or point-eared elves. They represent the free will of the west of Middle-earth...

The dwarf, this bearded man who mines and forges iron, is greedy for money and drinks, and has a bad temper can provide weapons and armor to the free people and become a good human shield.Human beings are short-lived, ignorant, weak and jealous, inferior consumables with huge numbers and full of five poisons. They only need to become wastes that wave flags and consume the enemy's strength, let alone other weaker races.

It is enough for the world-leading conference to have the voices of Maia and the Elves, and the remaining "stinky brothers" should just follow the banner of free will.What white meeting are you attending? !Going there will only cause trouble to Maiya and the elves and waste time! !Just listen with peace of mind! !

You should accept whatever fate you have!If you don’t have the strength, don’t even think about going on stage! !The world belongs to the elves and the Ainur, so the remaining garbage should not have any undue delusions! !

In this way, the White Council, which imitated the "White Council" in 1701 of the Second Era, was held. At the meeting, Galadriel wanted Gandalf to be the leader of the White Council. Gandalf declined the offer to be the leader, which made Galadriel Drell was disappointed.

In the end, this position was obtained by Saruman. Although Saruman was indeed more knowledgeable, the main reason was Gandalf's refusal to take up the position.Gandalf did not want to be burdened by an important position, and he had no intention of taking root anywhere.Although Saruman became the leader of the White Council, he was still jealous and resentful that Gandalf had become the favored candidate.

Apart from electing the leader of the White Council, this first meeting of the White Council only allowed all the members to meet, and there was no practical result. Although they were worried about the black shadow shrouding Dol Guldur in the Black Forest and the true identity of the mysterious Necromancer. identity, but this is just a concern, and there is no actual evidence to show its serious harm to Middle-earth.

After the meeting, the members dispersed and went back to their homes.The elves have returned to their own territories and continue to live a leisurely life.

Gandalf continued to travel around Middle-earth. He was called Mithrandir among the elves, Shakun among the dwarves, Incanus in the south, and Gandalf in the north. He left a strange story of his different vests.Although the names are different, the stories left in various regions are so popular, and their distinctive images are also remembered by the world.

Later, while roaming in Eriador, Gandalf discovered the hobbits in the Shire and became acquainted with them. He learned to smoke, became close friends with them, and lived in the Shire for a long time. you.

After Saruman was elected as the leader of the White Council, his pride and desire to rule had become extremely strong. He was no longer the white-robed wizard who was dedicated to carrying out his mission. Thousands of years of time had changed his character. I lost myself and became mottled inside.

Although he was aware of Sauron's comeback, he decided not to alert him easily because of his desire for the latter's power, especially the Lord of the Rings.He traveled back to the western part of Middle-earth, hoping to find the lost land of Isildur among the remnants of history, and finally find the Supreme Lord of the Rings, which contains powerful power.

In this way, after Gollum put on the Supreme Lord of the Rings, Saruman, the leader of the White Council of righteous forces, and the Dark Lord Sauron, the ruler of the evil forces, worked hard to find the Supreme Lord of the Rings. The elven lords continued to live a leisurely life, and Gandalf continued to Wandering on the Earth Continent, the human dignitaries are still indulged in a life of extravagance and fighting for power. The dwarves are still hammering iron and drinking wine...

Rey is advancing his plan step by step. Occasionally, his consciousness comes to Dol Guldur to tease Sauron and relieve his boredom. At the same time, he squeezes Sauron's residual value and extracts profits from Sauron.

In this cooperation, Sauron was already at a disadvantage. This time Sauron brought a lot of troubles and changes to the cooperation for the Supreme Lord of the Rings. In order to continue the cooperation, Sauron can only do some things. Give in, cede some interests to Rey, and obey Rey's arrangements on certain things.

For example, cooperate with Rey to differentiate humans and elves, making the middle and lower classes of humans hostile to elves.

By promoting the origin and development of elves and humans, as well as the news that elves can live forever and can freely go to "heaven" (the next world) to live a carefree life, it arouses the jealousy of humans - they are all children of the great god Yiru. , why is the difference in treatment so big! !

Then they spread the idea that humans are the destined masters of Middle-earth, and the hype elves are unwilling to leave Middle-earth, occupying human living space, and plundering the wealth that originally belonged to humans in Middle-earth. Every extra day they live in Middle-earth is a disservice to humans. This statement of plunder not only inspired human pride and ambition, but also triggered hostility towards the elves.

MD!The eldest brother (the elves are the first-born children) has enjoyed so many gifts from the gods, but he still doesn’t let the younger brother (the humans are the second-born children) have this little family property! !Too fucking excessive! !It is unbearable! ! !Mother Gan Lin! !Get lost! ! !

In fact, Sauron agreed to intensify the conflict between the elves and humans, but Sauron did not agree with using human hands to drive the elves out of Middle-earth. He also wanted to complete Melkor's great cause-to rule. All the children of Iluvatar.But Rey is different. He really wants to expel the elves from the outside world back to the inner world.Because both Ainu and Yiru are obviously partial to the "boss" of the elves, if the elves encounter danger in the surface world, then there is a high probability that they will take action. This will be a huge interference to Rey's plan, and even directly As a result, Rey's plan failed. Therefore, in order for the plan to proceed smoothly, Rey had to take this step and use human hands to expel the elves to the other world to create conditions for the plan in his heart.

The intensification of conflicts between elves and humans and the collapse of the alliance are only incidental effects.It turned out that Sauron would not agree to this, but for the sake of the Supreme Lord of the Rings, he had to make an exchange of interests and agreed to the matter in exchange for Rey's understanding.

Although the upper-class nobles of mankind may be aware of the public opinions concocted by Rey and know that this is a conspiracy of potential enemies, they cannot eliminate these remarks and clarify the truth, because it truly expresses their feelings, just like The pursuit of eternal life by their ancestors, the Númenóreans, has nothing to do with right or wrong, it is just the desire in their hearts and the right in their eyes...

Human beings at the middle and lower levels are even more convinced of this public opinion. What they see with their eyes and hear in their ears, the cruel "truth" makes them jealous and the greed in their hearts continues to rise.

As a result, the public opinion concocted by Rey not only did not dissipate over the years, but intensified, and the relationship between humans and elves continued to turn cold.In this atmosphere, more and more elves are crossing the sea to the west, heading to the other world, to the paradise filled with the light of the twin sacred trees...

In 2740 of the Third Age, the Orcs began to attack Eriador.In 2747 of the Third Age, they penetrated deep into the Shire, but were defeated by a group of hobbits led by Bandobras Took in the Battle of Greenfield.

The extremely cold long winter from November 2758 of the Third Age to March 11 of the Third Age brought suffering and bitterness to the people of Eriador.A cold wave swept across western Middle-earth, affecting Eriador, Dunland, and Rohan to varying degrees.

In 2758 of the Third Era, the Eastern Barbarians and the Dark Barbarians, under the leadership of Wulf, divided into two groups and invaded Rohan from the northwest and the east at the same time.At this time, Gondor was busy fighting the pirates and had no time to send troops to support.Some pirates also went up the rivers Eisen and Lefnui to join the host of Rohan's enemies.

Under the three-party offensive, the Rohirrim were defeated and had to retreat to Helm's Deep; King Helm's son Hareth defended the Golden Palace and refused to retreat. He fought to the last man and finally died in front of the gate.Woolf's army marched straight in, and he himself proclaimed himself king after capturing the Golden Palace.

The long winter brought new problems: Rohan was covered with snow for five months, and both the Rohirrim and the enemy suffered from severe cold and hunger.

Helm defended Susburg and the deep ravine behind it, while his youngest son Hama ignored the advice of the council in Yurz and led a small team out of the valley to break out. He was lost in the snow and wind and never returned.

The king, who twice lost his son, became sad and irritable.He often wears white clothes, sneaks into enemy camps, and slaughters them with his bare hands; he always blows the horn before setting off, making the enemies tremble with fear.Once, the loud sound of the trumpet echoed in the deep and wide valleys, but the king did not return all night.When morning came, people found him standing on the parapet, dead.

His nephew Freyalav succeeded to the throne.According to legend, Helm's heroic spirit still lingers in the deep valley, guarding a land accompanied by the distant and loud sound of the horn.

In March 2759 of the Third Era, Freyalav, who had taken refuge in the Blackman Temple, led his troops to surprise the enemy and fight back to Edoras, killing Wulf and regaining a large amount of territory.

The East Barbarians and Darklanders were driven out of Rohan, and the enemies stationed in Isengard also surrendered in the face of famine.Beregond, son of Beren, Prime Minister of Gondor, also led his army to help after wiping out the southern invaders.With the arrival of spring, the war that almost destroyed the country of Rohan finally subsided.

Although the severe cold of winter did not directly come to the territory of Gondor, the chain reaction it brought had a considerable impact: In 2758 of the Third Era, the pirates and the Harad people joined forces and assembled three huge fleets from Ukraine. Mbarr set sail for the ports along the coast of Gondor.

The enemy came with ferocity and successfully landed in many places, even attacking all the way to the crossing of the Essen River; while the ally Rohan was overwhelmed by domestic natural and man-made disasters and was unable to send troops to support.

At this time, Saruman requested to move to Isengard to live and help defend against threats from the west.Because he had stayed in Minas Tirith for several years and studied the numerous historical books and archives stored in the city, he deduced from these records that there was still a Palantir preserved in the high tower of Isengard. Thaorthank.

Since the place had previously been abandoned, Prime Minister Beren and Freyalaf, the then king of Rohan, welcomed his return of the fortress to the king's rule.Therefore, in 2759 of the Third Age, Prime Minister Beren gave the Key of Orthanc to Saruman, hoping that he would prove that he was indeed a powerful ally.

After this, Saruman did reorganize the defense of the west and became one of the important figures in the area.At the same time, he also found a Palantir in Orthanc Tower as he wished, but he hid it secretly for use and did not make it public, especially from the White Council...

The Shire, located in the northern part of Middle-earth, was also devastated by the winter cold wave, and the lack of supplies caused by it led to a year-long famine.Despite Gandalf's helping hand, thousands of hobbits died from the cold or starvation.

But it was also during this period of poverty that the hobbits showed unparalleled courage and firm belief in supporting each other, which made Gandalf look at this unknown race with admiration.

Gandalf once commented: "And there were the people of the Shire. None of you can remember the long winter, but they have had a warm place in my heart ever since. It was a hard time for them." , first freezing to death due to the severe cold, and then starving in the subsequent famine, it was the most difficult moment they had ever experienced. But it was from that time on that they showed courage and compassion for each other. The reason why they Survival depends not only on the strong courage of not complaining, but also on a compassionate heart.”

And in March 2759 of the Third Era, when the long winter was coming to an end, in the uninhabited Northland, braving a terrifying frost storm, dozens of black spots soared in the icy and snowy sky...
