MTL - The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-earth-Chapter 256 Dauntless Dwarves
"If I remember correctly, it should be the dwarf mining Mithril that alarmed the Balrog that was dormant in the ground! This Balrog killed Turin VI and then killed his son Nain I the next year. It should be him... "Roland shook his head regretfully.
"The situation is a bit strange. Why would the dwarf king stay here?" Roland looked at the unyielding stone statue of Nain suspiciously and asked.
"Bahrain? Don't cry yet! We need to figure out the situation! Tell me! Where does this hall lead to?" Roland walked over to help Bahrain, who was dripping with tears.
"The third hall is also called the Marsabul Hall! After the Marsabul Hall is the bridge! In the words of outsiders, it is called the Bridge of Turin!" Balin looked at Roland as he should and said.
"What else? How did the dwarves escape from here?" Roland immediately asked.
"Your Highness, what do you mean..." Omsk and Kaslo looked at each other and made guesses.
"Some people walked across the bridge and evacuated from the east gate, and some people went to the endless steps and climbed to the top of the mountain..." Balin recalled the history of the dwarves.
"Slap!" Roland slapped.
"Yes! It's the endless step, where is it?" Roland became more and more sure of his guess.
"Before the bridge, after the Marsabul hall!" Balin said.
"It seems that Nain I died fighting to prevent the Balrog from buying time for the people to flee!" Roland confirmed his guess.
"Look, the stone crystal traces here are extending from the cliff! And the cliff here is just a big mine! The Balrog climbed up from below! If I guessed correctly, the location of the Marsabul hall should be the same as that of the cliff. Without communication, the Balrog cannot directly enter from the cliff, so it can only attack the fourth hall, which is the closest to the dwarves' retreat!" Roland analyzed.
"That's right! The Marsabul hall is not connected to the big mine, only the fourth hall and the second hall are connected to it!" Balin immediately admitted.
"The dwarves want to evacuate, and the Marsabul Hall is the key! But Turin VI and Nain I are obviously not the ones waiting to die. They should have fought the Balrog here for many rounds! You can see it from the scattered stone crystal road. Come out! The Balrog has gone up and down this place several times!" Roland pointed to the stone crystal veins that radiate toward the mine.
"That's right...it must be like this..." Balin's eyes became moist.
Roland can already imagine that scene...
The mithril stored in the once bustling Khasad-dum is gradually exhausted, and the dwarves are going deeper underground to find the mithril! Maybe that hapless guy touched the Balrog to wake him up...and tragedy ensued! The dwarves have begun to decline in high-end combat power. At first, the dwarf king led the dwarf soldiers to counterattack several times, but this awakened Balrog is not an ordinary Balrog, but a natural disaster known as "Udon's Fire" ! He used to be one of Morgoth's most proud subordinates! A member who managed to survive the battle of wrath!
Under the constant harassment of the Balrog, the dwarves were overwhelmed, and they were unable to maintain the operation of the entire Moria, which finally prompted them to decide to abandon Moria. The turning point has come! The death of Turin VI cast a shadow over the hearts of all dwarves. Under the leadership of King Nain I, the sad dwarves began to stick to the fourth hall, and called the tribe to evacuate here. Groups of dwarves, women and children passed through The east gate crosses the Anduin River to the Iron Hills and other places, and the other part goes up the endless steps to the top of Siraksigil Mountain to migrate to the western territories such as the Blue Mountains...
The migration of the entire group is huge, and the effort cannot be completed overnight. King Nain led the elite dwarf guards to station here. They wore heavy armor that could resist dragon flames, and held a large mithril shield in their hands. Fight again and again with the heavy ax and the Balrog! The difference is that the Balrog can climb down into the abyss every time and use magma to recover his injuries and strength, while the number of elite dwarves decreases again and again...
I don't know how long it has passed... Maybe it was a day or two, or January or two months, most of Moria was almost evacuated, and countless dwarves were exiled in foreign lands. They came to the lonely mountain to build a new home - Yin Lubo! At the same time, Nain still insists on his mission as a king! Standing firmly in the fourth hall, the Balrog was firmly blocked outside the Marsabul hall...
Another Balrog strikes, and at this time there are no people in Khasad-dum. A few elite dwarves gather in the fourth hall full of ruins, and King Nain is also there! They looked at the fiery figure outside the square and felt the blazing heat wave! The Balrog brandished a flame whip and whipped it in the void, and the stones where it walked were melted into stone crystals! The firm formation of the dwarves is waiting for the last moment!
The elite dwarves who faced the Balrog seem to have returned to the battlefield of the Wrath War. For the first time, they showed fear! They were afraid of this unkillable monster, even the Tyrant could not compete with it, the last elite dwarves huddled together, anger and fear flashed in their eyes... only they did not flinch!
"Kill!" Nain brandished his battle ax and roared. The king of Khasad-dum will not abandon his territory, just as Turin will not abandon his people. When all the people leave Khasad-dum For a moment, this army of dwarves can only win or die!
The two sides collided again! The huge Balrog crashed into the dwarven phalanx like thousands of troops, and the scorching flame whip rolled up an unlucky dwarf soldier. This third-order berserker was burned to two pieces before he even had time to resist. part! A smell of burnt meat came out, but no one thought it was good, only nausea and anger! The armor strong enough to resist the dragon flames was easily torn apart by the Balrog like thin paper... At this moment, the dwarves realized that UU Reading www.uukanshu.com This is no ordinary Balrog! This is one of the witnesses and survivors of the battle of wrath "The Fire of Udun!"
"Fight! For the homeland!" Nain's teeth had already bitten blood, but he still fought hard against the Balrog. The king's battle ax made of fine gold, mithril, etc. cut through the Balrog's skin again and again, like magma The blood spattered out!
"Fight! The descendants of Turin!" Nain, who was bathed in blood, descended like a god! At this moment, the dwarves even suppressed the Balrog, and they even pushed the Balrog back to the door of the hall. At this moment, they even felt that victory was in sight!
"Aw! Roar!" The Balrog roared angrily, a large amount of flames swept in, and its injuries were almost healed after a while, but the dwarves were dumbfounded at this moment, they did not expect this scene at all...
But so what? Countless dwarves fell, and newcomers stepped forward. The more the dwarves fought, the more courageous they became! The more you fight, the stronger you get! The Vietnam war is getting less and less... Nain looked around and saw the corpses and remains of his compatriots. The entire hall was full of signs of destruction, and there were less than a hundred dwarves who survived. He blew the war horn! The dwarves spontaneously gathered beside him, looking at the Balrog tens of meters away, everyone knew that the final decisive battle had arrived!
