Bringing the MC system to Middle-earth.

Chapter 398 Darkness Comes
You have caused me so much trouble!

Levi subconsciously thought to himself.

The credibility of what Sauron said was actually very high. Levi had no doubt that as long as he nodded at this moment, Mordor would surrender immediately, and take his allies along with him.

And Sauron himself might indeed swear fealty to Levi.

But nothing.

This isn't the first time this has happened.

When the Numenoreans fought Sauron, he also directly announced his surrender. Relying on his beautiful appearance and sweet words, he climbed from a prisoner to the position of king's advisor, and then began his own deception.

Everyone knows the final outcome - the great kingdom of Númenor fell, and all its territories sank into the sea.

Now this guy actually wants to do the same thing?
No one had expected Sauron's proposal. People thought that what would follow would be a negotiation or a tit-for-tat declaration of war.

But no one expected that Sauron, the self-proclaimed Dark Lord and Emperor of Middle-earth, would choose to surrender and be loyal to his enemy.

Even though he had great confidence in Levi, Gandalf was still a little alert when he heard this. He reminded him, "Look back at what happened in the past and never agree to it."

Levi just smiled, patted Gandalf's shoulder gently, and took two steps forward.

Looking at his unchanged expression and steady back, Gandalf realized that his reminder seemed a little redundant.

"I have no interest in the Faithless's allegiance, and if he really wants to negotiate, he should come out on his own, not hide behind the scenes."

Soran didn't answer, but just kept staring at Levi, trying to see something from him.

But no matter how he looked at it, he still felt that this man was full of uncertain mysteries.

Nothing can be seen.

It is impossible to tell what he is thinking, nor is it possible to tell whether the One Ring is in his possession.

At present, the only thing that can be confirmed is that he definitely did not wear the One Ring on his finger. The two golden rings inlaid with amber were not the One Ring, but another kind of ring containing magic.

Soran began to wonder in his heart.

Sauron's purpose is never single, and he will not bet all his possibilities on one thing. There are many things to test in this negotiation, and testing Levi's ambition is just one of them.

A successful negotiation is best.

As for the failure of the negotiations… Although there was only the Mouth of Sauron in front of the Black Gate, behind the Black Gate, across this gate, were all the remaining forces of Mordor.

All the troops that could be mobilized from all regions were transferred here and gathered in front of this gate.

"So…"

Sauron was still trying to find some excuses to get around it, but beside Levi, Gimli couldn't bear it anymore.

He said later: "He must have more tricks in his mind. I think he should be shot in the head with an arrow to prevent..."

Boom!

Before he finished speaking, a violent wave of wind and waves broke out in front of the army. Everyone was startled, and the next moment, they found that there was a big hole in the chest of Sauron's Mouth, and the black steel armor on his body could not provide any protection.

The person who caused all this was naturally Levi who was standing in the front.

He slowly lowered his dragonbone bow and agreed. "That is correct, Gimli. That is the way it should be."

Gimli stared ahead blankly and swallowed.

The dragon bone arrow pierced through Soran's chest and nailed to the hard black door behind him. The vibration sound caused by the collision between the dragon bone and the metal could be heard from far away, like a signal, and people in front of and behind the door could hear it.

thump.

Caught off guard, Sauron's Mouth fell off his horse and became motionless.

Above Barad-dur, the demon eye surrounded by flames immediately turned its gaze here.

The direction of things was obviously beyond his expectations.

The negotiations ended rather abruptly, and all attempts came to an abrupt end.

"So, you choose war?" Sauron muttered to himself in the evil black tower.

Boom!
The war drums beat.

The gate slammed shut, and a large number of Orcs climbed up the spiked towers above and on both sides of the Black Gate to confront the army below.

This gate is indestructible, comparable to the high wall built with obsidian inside the roadside fort. Even if the 70,000 elite human troops gathered at this moment want to break through it, it will take some effort.

Moreover, as mentioned before, this door is very hard, resistant to digging and explosion, and has certain explosion-proof properties.

It seems to be able to restrain certain means a little.

But it's all in vain.

Levi put on the Tengyan armor and flew up, sweeping across the orcs on the door, finding the control switch of the black door, and despite the attacks of a large number of monsters around him, he manually opened the closed black door again.

Highlight efficiency.

This time there was more than just a crack, the door was completely open, allowing the human coalition to advance in.

But this is obviously not an easy task, because behind the door are orcs and evil creatures all over the mountains.

Like the dark sea at night, there is no end in sight.

boom!
Dark clouds floated in from within Mordor and covered the sky above the gate. The remaining eight Ringwraiths flew around freely, trying to spread fear.

But this time, neither the roars of the Ringwraiths nor the ferocious beasts under their crotch had any effect. The leaders of the human side could boost the morale of the army behind them just by standing there.

What’s more, there is a legendary figure leading the way at the front, and he is even more of a heavyweight.

For a moment, the army of Mordor was in hesitation, just blowing horns and beating drums, and was reluctant to launch an attack.

The two sides began to compete in momentum.

The leaders kept wandering in front of the rows of troops, setting an example and shouting loudly to boost morale.

The human coalition of free forces was growing stronger and stronger in momentum, and Levi and others were moving forward step by step with this growing momentum.

The light pierced through the clouds and stung the eyes of the dark creatures.

Just as the Orc vanguard was about to collapse under the pressure of this momentum, suddenly, a strange black wind blew up in front of the Black Gate, rolling back the dark clouds in Mordor and covering the sky above the gate.

The noise was so loud that it drowned out the sounds of drums and horns from both sides, and only a sharp buzzing sound filled the ears.

Darkness falls upon the earth.

"The supreme ring, the ring that controls all."

Looking at the horrifying scene before them, those who had participated in the Council of Rivendell all recalled this sentence. Once when Gandalf read out the inscription on the One Ring in Rivendell, a darkness also descended upon Rivendell, making that place a terrifying place.

Now, an even more terrifying aura has arrived here.

"Keep the formation! Don't move!"

"It's just the enemy's bluff, don't be afraid!"

Aragorn, Theoden and others shouted in front of the army they were in charge of, and walked to the front to fight against this momentum.

"Don't extinguish the hope within you!"

Gandalf raised his staff high, creating light to fight against the sudden darkness.

The fire of hope burns from the bottom of my heart.

The soldiers of Rohan and Gondor looked at their king, at the royal flag flying behind Théoden, at the sword of Andúril held high by Aragorn, and at the light created by the wizard. They all steadied themselves and strengthened their faith.

The army of the Free Cities stared quietly at the motionless figure standing in front of the Black Gate, guarding their positions, each one like a stone sculpture, without any unnecessary movement.

After stabilizing the morale of the troops, Gandalf stepped forward and reminded them: "Don't be careless, Levi. Even without the One Ring, his strength has been restored to a large extent. Be careful."

"I know."
