At this moment, Galadriel, who had regained a little strength, stood up again.

She took out the trump card she had specially prepared to deal with Sauron - a crystal bottle containing the light of the Star of Eärendil.

That is the light from the Silmaril owned by Elrond's mother, and it is also the last remaining light of the holy tree in Middle-earth. It is different from the light of Galadriel.

More powerful.

Galadriel's whole body became dim, no longer shining, and she released the ambition and darkness in her heart.

She was also full of willfulness and arrogance when she was young, but later on, she tried her best to suppress it all, so her strength also weakened.

Now, as she releases the power she used to suppress herself, a darker side emerges.

She held up the crystal bottle in her hand, and the light of Eärendil's star shone, as if a new sun appeared above Mirkwood, dispelling Sauron's power.

"You have no power here, lackey of Morgoth. Your name is despised by the Valar. You have lost your form. You are now just a ghost. Go back to where you belong."

Galadriel's power continued to grow stronger, and with the help of the light of Eärendil's star, she completely suppressed Sauron's power.

In the end, the unwilling Sauron howled and was expelled by Galadriel. He turned into a ball of fire and flew along the dark clouds on the horizon to the southeast, which is the direction of Mount Doom.

After driving out Sauron, Galadriel could no longer hold on. She used up her last strength to take back her dark side, and fell into Elrond's arms, unable to be any weaker.

"We were deceived. He ambush us here and prepare to seize the three elven rings in our hands. Moreover, Sauron has joined forces with Smaug in the Lonely Mountain. I need to rush to the Lonely Mountain to help the dwarves." Gandalf said.

By then he had regained some strength, and he stood up a little worried.

Elrond thought of something, and he added: "No, it's not just Smaug! There are also the Nazgul. I only saw eight Nazgul just now, and I didn't see Angmar."

"That would be worse!" exclaimed Gandalf.

Elrond looked in the direction of Mount Doom: "We need to warn Gondor so that they should always pay attention to the movements of Mordor and strengthen their vigilance."

Saruman had his own little girl in his heart at this time, and he did not agree with Elrond's suggestion.

"You don't have to worry about Sauron, leave him to me to deal with him. Without the Supreme Lord of the Rings, Sauron has nothing to fear."

Saruman and Elrond supported Gandalf and Galadriel respectively, and walked down the tower of Dol Guldur. At this time, the elven army had wiped out all the orcs and wargs entrenched here.

, cleaning the battlefield.

"Lord Elrond, give me a horse. I will rush to the Lonely Mountain as soon as possible." Gandalf asked Elrond for help.

Elrond called his lieutenant Lindir, brought a horse for Gandalf, and handed it into his hands.

"Gandalf, I asked my lieutenant Lindir to go to the Lonely Mountain with you, and I want to go back to Rivendell to prepare."

Gandalf originally wanted to refuse.

"You are still very weak and need someone to take care of you." Elrond said.

Helplessly, Gandalf could only nod in agreement, then climbed onto the horse with difficulty, and left Dol Guldur with Lindir.

At the same time, in Beorn.

In the words of Gao Yuan and the dwarves, our skin-changing friend Bion finally listened to the story of the dwarf expedition, which also included their plan to retake the Lonely Mountain.

At first Thorin wanted to conceal his plan about the Lonely Mountain, but before he could object, he was interrupted by Beorn's words.

"We are not interested in the stories about your treasures. I would rather hear some stories about your battles with the orcs. Let us skip this part."

After hearing the story, Beorn forgave them for trespassing on his territory and for killing his deer, and then left the camp where the expedition was located.

Early the next morning, Bilbo was awakened by a nightmare about Bobby the Deer. He looked around blankly. At this time, the dwarves had already started preparing breakfast and their luggage had been packed long ago.

"Maybe you can sleep a little longer, breakfast is not cooked yet." Gao Yuan handed Bilbo a cup of spruce tea, which he had picked in the Misty Mountains while climbing the tree.

Bilbo no longer wanted to experience a nightmare like the Revenge of a Fawn. He wiped his face: "It still doesn't work, I've already woken up."

At this time, the skin-changer who left last night appeared in the camp again.

But this time, he was not looking for trouble. He brought the dry food and pony horses that he carefully prepared for the dwarves.

"Before entering the dark forest, you must let my horses go. They will find their way home." Beorn told Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan readily agreed: "I promise you."

The expedition team said goodbye to the generous skin-changer, and then left on horseback. This was very rare. They had never ridden on horseback since entering Rivendell, which made them waste a long time on the road.

time.

When people walk, they are always silent because of fatigue; but when the members of the expedition team ride on horses, it is different. For example, our curious baby Bilbo, he pestered Gao Yuan again and asked

Asking all kinds of strange questions.

At this time, Bilbo suddenly remembered Gandalf, who had disappeared for a long time in the team.

"Mr. Gao Yuan, where did Gandalf go, and why haven't he followed him yet?" Gao Yuan glanced at Bilbo, and now you thought of Gandalf.

"He has more important things to do."

Bilbo tilted his head in confusion: "What's more important? Is there anything more important than going to the Lonely Mountain to deal with that evil dragon?"

"Of course there is. For example, if it concerns the safety of the entire Middle-earth continent, do you think it's a big deal or not?"

"That's really big." Bilbo nodded in understanding.

"Tell me!" Thorin came to Gao Yuan at this time. Obviously he heard the conversation between Bilbo and Gao Yuan. He is still worried about Gandalf's departure. He thinks it is

Gandalf abandoned them.

Gao Yuan was silent for a long time, and finally decided to tell everyone what Gandalf was going to do.

The story begins a year ago when Gao Yuan encountered the pursuit of orcs in the Dark Forest. In the middle, a Holy White Conference was held in Rivendell. At the conference, Gandalf's plan to help the dwarves retake the Lonely Mountain was confirmed.

So Gao Yuan was entrusted by Galadriel of Lothlorien to help the dwarves complete their mission with Gandalf.

It was also mentioned in the middle that the Nazgul, who were supposed to be buried in the high tomb of Rudol, were awakened and appeared in Dol Guldur.

"Otherwise, why do you think Gandalf left us for so long when we were in the Troll Forest? It was because he went to explore inside the Rudoir High Tomb to determine whether the Nazgul had really been awakened."

Thorin snorted coldly.

"He also said he was going to explore the road ahead. It turned out that he was not on the same road as us all along."

"Short-sighted!" Gao Yuan yelled angrily, "You think the home you regained is more important, but you don't know that if Sauron hidden in Dol Guldur comes back, your lonely mountain will be just another burial place of the dwarves.

It’s just bone land.”

"Your mortal enemies, the Orcs and Azog, are just minions of Sauron. After Smaug awakens, he will become his ironclad ally."

"At that time, the entire Middle-earth continent will fall into his dark rule."

As he spoke, the expedition team had arrived at the edge of the dark forest. Gao Yuan pointed at the dry and dark forest in front of him and said: "This used to be a vibrant green forest. I'm afraid you don't know why this former green forest has turned into what it is now."

This is what it looks like.”

"There is a creek full of evil magic; there are also terrifying monsters you have never seen in your life."

"You are arrogant and self-righteous and despise all this, but at this time its power has become an obstacle to your path to the lonely mountain; when he comes back, he will become the death that hangs over you and your people.

shadow."
