Chapter 178 Departure
As the Steel Duo closest to Modo, they also face the greatest pressure. However, because of Ilúvatar's gift, the more dangerous the situation, the more strength they can inspire in people's hearts, but they can barely resist it.
However, Rohan was caught up in Saruman's conspiracy. The old king of Rohan had been influenced by Saruman. He ignored the Modo army that was just around the corner and allowed them to slaughter his own people. Only a few
People are resisting spontaneously.
The kingdom of elves was also under siege. They originally wanted to leave here and go to Valinor to avoid the war in Middle-earth, but at this moment, Sauron would not give them this opportunity.
Including Mirkwood, including the Great Wilderness, the Iron Hills, and even the Shire, the home of the Hobbits, are all involved in the war!
But in this case, Elrond, the Elven King of Rivendell, still chose to convene a continent-wide meeting to decide the issue of the Lord of the Rings.
As far as he knew, the main force of Mordor's army had already set off from the Black Gate and was heading to Rivendell. They alone could not resist it no matter what.
For this reason, he must move the Lord of the Rings out before the army of Mordor arrives, otherwise, Rivendell may be destroyed under the iron heel of Mordor.
Under the premise of being unable to confront Sauron head-on, destroying the Supreme Lord of the Rings is undoubtedly a good choice, but this must take great risks. With Mordor's army now spread across the entire continent, this journey is only
It will be more dangerous than before.
Despite the threat of Mordor's army, the Lord of the Rings still affects everyone's hearts. Whether it is to capture it or to destroy it, they are always here.
Everyone was arguing over the issue of the Lord of the Rings. Some people wanted to use his power to fight against Mordor, but they didn't know that they were all affected by the Lord of the Rings at this moment.
It wasn't until Frodo made a statement that he was willing to take the Ring to Mount Doom and destroy it! Everyone gave up.
Gandalf naturally knew the consequences of this. Even if he destroyed the Lord of the Rings in the end, Frodo would never return to his past, but he could not stop it, nor did he want to stop it.
But they had forgotten one man, one whom everyone had forgotten! Bilbo Baggins!
Although he is old and frail, he has not reached the level of old fool.
"No! Absolutely not! This is too dangerous! You have no idea how powerful the Ring is!"
"Bilbo Baggins! I'm sorry! But no one but Frodo can bear this weight!"
Gandalf looked at Bilbo Baggins, who was walking slowly on crutches, and said to him helplessly.
"Bilbo! You are here too!"
If the people who were happiest about the appearance of Bilbo Baggins were none other than Thorin and the others. After Bilbo returned to the Shire, they had not seen him for sixty years!
"I didn't expect you to be so old now. Our Mr. Snitch will leave us after all!"
Thorin looked at the gray-haired, shambling Bilbo Baggins, his voice full of sadness, his friend was about to leave him in the end.
"Oh! Thorin! Long time no see!"
Bilbo Baggins smiled, hugged Thorin and the others one by one, and then walked to the center of everyone.
They all looked at Bilbo Baggins. He had held the Ring for so long and might have some wisdom.
"You all don't know that there is another person who can ignore the existence of the Lord of the Rings, and that the Ring is safer in his hands than in any of our hands!"
"who is he?"
Gandalf asked hurriedly. If such a person really existed, then it would be the best thing for them. But even if he tried hard to recall, he didn't know who in Middle-earth could have this ability.
, but he believed in Bilbo, and he wouldn't do it without aim.
Thorin had some guesses, but he still had to wait for Bilbo Baggins to say the name to confirm whether it was what he thought.
"He is Godzilla! The King of the Lonely Mountain!"
"What?"
Gandalf and Elrond thought about it, but they never thought that the person Bilbo was talking about turned out to be Godzilla. Although he was very powerful, resisting the temptation of the Lord of the Rings could not be achieved by being powerful.
!
Under the puzzled eyes of everyone, Bilbo Baggins slowly told what happened in the Lonely Mountain.
"Mr. Godzilla once asked me for the Ring. At that time, under pressure, I had to give it to him, and then I saw him put it on!"
"What happens after that?"
Gandalf and Elrond quickly cheered up. They had always maintained a good relationship with Godzilla, but they never knew that Godzilla actually wore the Lord of the Rings.
"After he put on the ring, he stopped where he was, seemingly lost in thought, but I found that the atmosphere in the hall was getting more and more oppressive. Sauron's will and energy came there through the Ring, but Mr. Godzilla expelled
He also took off the Ring and removed the influence of the Ring on me. If there is anyone in the world who can ignore the Ring, then there is no one except Mr. Godzilla!"
Only then did Gandalf know that there was such a story in it. At the same time, he also fell into fear. If Godzilla could not resist the temptation of the Lord of the Rings, then Middle-earth would have fallen to Sauron long ago.
In hand!
Everyone was in shock. If what Bilbo Baggins said was true, then they would have to re-examine their relationship with Godzilla. Maybe Godzilla will become their absolute main force, but not necessarily!
Just when Gandalf was about to make a decision and decide to send the Ring to Godzilla, Thorin stood up and spoke out, and his opinion also represented Godzilla's opinion.
"Everyone, listen to me! Before I came, the master had already informed us of some things, and one of them mentioned the Lord of the Rings!"
Thorin turned to Bilbo Baggins, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
"The master once said that although he is not afraid of the Lord of the Rings, once Sauron learns that the Ring is about to fall into his hands, he will definitely use the highest power to intercept it, and even if he gets the Ring, Sauron will still not give up.
Take a break!"
"He once traveled to the vicinity of Mordor. He could sense that there were several auras under his presence deep in Mordor! The master alone could not fight Sauron at all!"
"So, my master will stand up to attract Sauron's attention, and we still have to escort Frodo to Mount Doom and destroy the Lord of the Rings as before! Only in this way can Sauron's dark power be disintegrated!"
After finishing speaking, Thorin bowed his head slightly towards Bilbo Baggins.
"I'm sorry, my friend! I will defend Frodo with my life! When I see him, I think of you! Now it's time for me to help you!"
Thorin spoke so bluntly that Bilbo Baggins could only remain silent. His body was even more stooped than before. Frodo still could not escape the vortex after all.
The legion of Mordor was about to arrive, and everyone did not dare to hesitate any longer. They set out early the next morning. Compared with the original, the number of the Fellowship of the Ring was much larger and the strength was much stronger, but the crisis they faced
, but also to be stronger!
Until now, Gandalf and the others have not told the news that the Shire is also caught in the war. After all, their home is the most important pillar in Frodo's heart. Once this pillar is gone, Frodo can still survive in the Lord of the Rings.
Stay awake despite temptation?
He didn't know, so he didn't dare to gamble! Although this was a bit sorry for Frodo and the others, he had to hide it.
Chapter completed!
