Journey of the Infinite Wizard

When Jiang Ning went to the east, in the far west, the elves also set off a large-scale war, which lasted for about 400 years. This is the siege of Angband. Sixty years after the rising of the sun, Morgoth again attacked the Noldor who had been scattered in Beleriand. At that time, the north was shaken, the fissures in the earth and the iron mountains spewed flames, and the Orcs overwhelmingly crossed the plain of Ardgalan. They broke through the Sirion Pass and Maglor Gap on the east side, and their main force attacked the Dorthonion Highlands. . But Maedhros and Fingolfin caught Dorthonion's hostiles from the east and the west, pursued them across the plain of Ardgalan, and slew them all. The foes who had invaded Beleriand were swept away by the other Noldor, and because the war was so thoroughly won, it was called Dago Aglarib, "The War of Glory."

Although the Noldor won an unprecedented victory and fought all the way to the city of Angband, they also exposed their shortcomings. That is, there were too few troops. Facing the high walls of Angband and the extremely difficult and dangerous terrain, the Noldor elves could not attack Angband in one go. Instead, he chose to surround Angband and maintained it for nearly four hundred years.

Of these on the west was Fingolfin and Fingon, and at Balad Aisel guarded the passage through Eredweslin to Hithlum. Finrod and Orodereth, in Minas Tirith (not the capital of Gondor), guarded the Pass of Sirion, and from the northern slopes of Dorthonnion to Agron, by Angrod and Aegnor monitor.

As for the east, the sons of Fernor were in charge, and Celegorm and Curufin held the land between the rivers Aros and Chiron, and Maedhros built a stronghold on Himrin to guard it. The northern line and the plain between the Karon and Gelion, Maglor overseeing the mountains north of the Gelion, and Caranthir garrisoned in the shadow of Ered Luin.

They kept watch over the plains and passes of Ardgalan with cavalry all the year round, and thus confined Morgoth to his strongholds, and thereafter peace lasted about four hundred years. In this age of peace the plains of Ardgalan grew thick with green grass, and green shoots grew even among the broken stones before the gates of Angband.

Angband, however, would not sit idly by in the ground. He knew very well that the population of the elves was not enough to capture the strong fortress of Angband. Coupled with the fact that he has many evil dark creatures under his command, Morgoth has nothing to fear. While paying attention to the things of elves with his own eyeliner, he is constantly cultivating his own army and new species in the dark underground. These evil legions, bred by him on evil, darkness, and bloodlust, obey the orders of Morgoth. At the same time, there are passages extending in all directions underground in Angband, and these have become his hatching places. Many familiar monsters in the future were created by Morgoth one by one here. Orcs, Wargs, Trolls, Balrogs, and terrifying dragons are all the masterpieces of Morgoth.

And in the north and east of the world, even in the desolate and evil lands, there still remain the evil species that Morgoth has scattered. Although the Villars broke through Utamo, Morgoth's lair in the north of Cuviernen! However, the Valar did not wipe out the evil creatures under Morgoth's command. They had been hiding deep underground, and even the Valar had never found their traces or figures.

These evil dark creatures are still under the control of Morgoth, and under his orders, these evil creatures have been slowly growing. Morgoth, therefore, saw nothing to fear in Angband being surrounded by the Noldor, nor did he mind it at all. Although the army was wiped out once by the Noldor elves, Morgoth didn't feel bad. To him, these things were nothing but trash and cannon fodder. As long as he has enough time, he can cultivate more armies!

And the Noldor Elves, after experiencing a glorious battle, were unable to continue to attack Morgoth. There was no way for the elves to continue their attack except to siege Angband Fortress and besiege it. In addition to sending cavalry to monitor day and night, some Noldor elves left the team and began to go south to establish their own homes and cities. For example, during the siege Turgon's men left Nevrast to build Gondolin. Other Elven cities-Brithombar and Eglarest, built by the Sindar of Falas, were repaired, and Nargothrond under Finrod was also built at this time. The siege was incomplete, so that Morgoth was still able to send many Goblin armies to harass the Elves, for instance against Hithlum; but the Noldor were able to replenish their strength, for these armed actions posed no serious threat.

But the Noldor did not know that the evil sight of Morgoth was ever upon them. Now, they turned into the light, but Morgoth also succeeded in turning into the dark. Although the elves had the initiative, they also lost the initiative. And because the main premise of encirclement was the condition, the Noldor Elves, who were united as one, inevitably split again.

In fair Dorias, in the house of Elu Thingol, Melian and Galadriel talked now and then of Valinor and of past joys; but after speaking of the dark hour of the death of the Trees, Galadriel always Just shut up and stop talking. Melian said once: "I can see in you and in your people a kind of sorrow and disaster hanging over you, but I don't know what it is. What has happened or is happening in the West, I don't know It cannot be known through thoughts, nor can it be seen with images, because there is a large shadow covering the entire continent of Aman, even extending outward to the sea. Why don't you tell me more?"

How dare Galadriel say that? This incident was disgraceful, and she was not only hostile by the same race, but also punished and cursed by Vera, so she avoided it as much as possible, "The sorrow and disaster have passed," Galadriel said: "Now I only I want to talk about the joy that remains here, and I don’t want to be disturbed by memories. Because although everything seems to be full of hope now, there may be new sorrows and disasters to come.”

Then Melian looked at her and said: "I do not believe what was told at the beginning, that the Noldor were messengers from the Valar, who came just when we needed them. For they never spoke of the Valar, and their Nor did the king bring any message to Thingol, neither Manwë's message, nor Ulmo's; nor did they bring even greetings from Thingol's brother Owyan, nor the messages of the Teleri that he had brought beyond the sea. News. Not even news from Yinenwil, the Primordial Elves. Tell me, Galadriel, what caused the noble Noldor to look like exiles from Aman? What kind of evil is hidden in the sons, making them look so arrogant and cruel? Is what I said close to the truth?"

Galadriel was secretly surprised by Melian's analysis and wisdom, so her answer was... "Very close." Galadriel said, "Except that we left voluntarily, not by the Valar. We In spite of the opinion of the Valar, came at great peril, for one purpose only—to avenge Morgoth, and to recover what he had stolen."

Then Galadriel spoke to Melian of the Silmarillion, and of Fenwe, king of the Noldor, slain at Formenos; She still hasn't said a word about the boat incident. But Melian said: "You have told me a little more now, but I have seen more. You tried to leave behind the darkness of the long road from Tirion, but I see There are evils, and Thingol ought to know them."

"Perhaps," said Galadriel, "but not from me."

Even if Galadriel had never heard of the truth of talking too much, she knew it. Therefore, she began to change the subject, shifting the target from the Noldor elves to the Silmarillion, and also told that the same family of Elu Thingol (Elwy), the original elf Yiningville, first created the Silmarillion things. This greatly increased Melian's interest. Although she knew that Galadriel was changing the subject, she had no choice but to get any more information. However, Melian was still extremely interested in the news of the original elf Yinenville who had a great reputation among the Eldar tribe.

It is true that this person has a great reputation. According to the news she heard from the Eldar tribe and her husband Elu Singol, this primitive elf enjoys far more popularity among the Eldar tribe than Vera. prestige. The Eldar have very deep affection and affection for this guide, the first elf. Melian heard news about this primitive elf from her husband many times, and she knew that her husband had great admiration and admiration for this elder brother-like figure. And here in Galadriel, she learned even more shocking news. The original creator of the Silmarillion was also made by this same family, and she heard many rumors from Galadriel, and learned that and reigned in Valinor. And changed the Teleri of the same family to be more like a strange group, and then Melian learned many stories and anecdotes about Yiningville from Galadriel. And, she quickly told her husband the news!

Elu Singol was very happy when he heard it. He said, "If Yiningville were here, we wouldn't have to face so many troubles and difficulties."

"Oh?" Melian was very curious, and she said, "Could it be that this Yiningville has the ability to reverse the predicament and get rid of the unfavorable crisis?" Facing his wife's curious and questioning statement, Elu Singer smiled slightly and embraced the situation. Sitting side by side with his wife on the chair, he said proudly: "In my eyes, there is nothing that Yiningville can't do. From the day Cuvier was able to wake up, he has been a leader and a guide. His identity leads us to survive. He teaches the people all kinds of knowledge, builds strong fences and houses, trains us to protect ourselves, and expels the evil that hunts and kills wandering around. His position in my heart has already surpassed that of Vera , is the irreplaceable and unparalleled great Kundi!" After finishing speaking, he sighed, "It's a pity that Yiningville doesn't know about our news, otherwise, he will definitely come to help us!"

Melian looked at her husband tenderly, and was extremely curious about the original elf he mentioned. She comforted him, "Don't worry, don't worry, those painful days will pass. I have a feeling , and it won't be long before he comes to the West."

"This is real?"

Meili'an's beautiful face smiled slightly, and nodded affirmatively, "Honey, this is naturally true, you don't have to worry that I will deceive you. I have a very strong premonition about this feeling, and it will definitely come true!"
