Chapter 400 Stealth of Mordor
No matter how hard he tried to find his dark power, it was firmly blocked by the power of the Earth Ring, leaving him no chance to exploit any loopholes.
"How could this be?!" Soren's voice grew louder, his eyes flashing with an evil red light as he looked at Dui with suspicion and uncertainty.
Logically speaking, any ring made using the ring-making techniques he taught should have a hidden door, giving him a chance to exploit the loophole and turn against him.
But he had no idea how to obtain the Ring of Power before him.
It's as if this is a ring independent of all the Rings of Power, and although the craftsmanship originated from Sauron, it has already exceeded his control.
Even if he were to regain the One Ring, he would still be unable to control the Earth Ring.
Dui, seeing Soren's incredulous expression, sneered and snorted.
Since he dared to forge this earth ring, he must have already considered the problem and wouldn't forge a ring with hidden dangers for himself.
Therefore, in addition to referencing the forging techniques of the Ring of Power, this ring also incorporated alchemy and elven forging techniques, and used the Resurrection Stone to summon Celebrimbor, the forger of the Three Rings of the Elves, as well as the Silmarils.
Féinau, the maker of True Knowledge Crystals.
Fëanor was the finest Elven craftsman in the world of Arda, the second High King of the Noldor, the creator of the Tengvar script, and the inventor of the Silmarils, the Crystal of Knowledge, and the Lamp of Fëanor. He was known as the most outstanding of Ilúvatar's children.
Under the guidance and assistance of two master elven craftsmen, Dui and Celebrimbor, Dui spent decades creating the Earth Ring Kaya, which was derived from the craftsmanship of Sauron's Ring but was unaffected by Sauron's power.
No matter how unwilling Sauron was to believe it, he knew clearly that the ring was not affected by him.
He was always very confident in the craftsmanship of his rings, which is why he was determined to reclaim the One Ring and use it to control the other rings.
But now that such an uncontrollable ring of power has appeared, Sauron felt uneasy, and his gaze toward Dui was filled with murderous intent.
He must kill this variable, seize the uncontrollable ring, and find a way to understand why.
With this in mind, Sauron attacked the Earth Ring's defenses with all his might, trying to shatter this tortoise shell.
Sauron's attack power was terrifying. Dark power surged towards the golden light shield like a tidal wave, just as a small island on the vast darkness was being constantly battered by giant waves and tsunamis, trying to crush it.
But the golden dome formed by the Earth Ring is solid and unbreakable, firmly rooted in the ground like a rock, unshaken by the torrents.
Dui wore the Earth Ring on Kaya's hand, and the power of the earth continuously gathered on the ring, constantly reinforcing the golden dome.
At this moment, Dui stood on the earth, which became his strongest support and also shared the power of Sauron's terrifying attack.
The earth shook continuously, the ground cracked open, revealing bottomless abyssal fissures, rocks rolled down, and rivers overflowed.
At this point, Gandalf, Galadriel, and Elrond finally suppressed the corruption of the Three Rings of the Elves by the dark forces, and they gave up using the Three Rings of the Elves, sealing them away.
Then, with his hands free, he can once again focus all his efforts on dealing with Sauron.
Even without the help of the Three Rings of the Elves, they were still among the strongest in Middle-earth.
Gandalf chanted an incantation and slammed his staff into the ground, creating a massive rift that split the ground above the dark army, sending countless orcs, trolls, and wights plunging into the abyss.
Then, amidst the continuous tremors of the earth, the crack closed up again.
Elrond, wielding an elven longsword, unleashed a powerful aura, leaping high into the air like a mighty warrior and slashing down at Sauron.
Glorfindel, radiating light, joined forces with Elrond, wielding two sharp blades, to attack Sauron from the other side.
Galadriel, with the same aura, exuded a strong aura. She drew a longsword from her pocket, transformed into a Valkyrie, and joined the ranks of those attacking Sauron in close combat.
Dui was taken aback by Galadriel's transformation. Seeing the elegant and noble elven lady turn into a berserker, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly that appearances can be deceiving.
Then he joined the battle without hesitation, attacking Sauron together while using the power of the Earth Ring to protect everyone.
And while an epic battle was taking place on the plains of Eliado.
Frodo, who was stationed in Lorien, also received the signal to set out.
Now that Sauron has left Mordor for Eriador, west of the Misty Mountains, Frodo has no more reservations. He immediately bids farewell to Lord Celeborn and, together with Sam, activates the Portkey.
The Portkey led the two to the eastern border of Gondor—the Chilis-Ugo Pass in the Pyre Mountains.
We're very close to Mordor from here. Once we pass through the Chillish-Ugg Pass, we can enter the heart of Mordor and eventually reach Mount Doom.
At the same time, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli also appeared here via the Portkey, joining Frodo and Sam.
Although Mordor sent out its entire force, many dark creatures remained behind. The Chilis-Ugog Pass was heavily guarded by orks, and even the Minas Morgul Fortress, which was once burned down by Dui, was also garrisoned by many orks.
The sky was also filled with swarms of crows and giant bats, patrolling and monitoring from above.
There are also various dark creatures such as vampires, wolves, dark sorcerers, orcs, trolls, and giant spiders.
Above Baradur Tower, there is a fiery eye that acts as a clone of Sauron, constantly scanning and monitoring the entire Mordor region. Any abnormality will be detected by Sauron himself.
So even though Sauron and his army have been lured out of Mordor, Mordor remains extremely dangerous, and a single misstep could lead to utter destruction.
Aragorn, Frodo, Sam, Legolas, and Gimli huddled behind a boulder, and after dodging a flock of ravens patrolling the sky, they cautiously peeked out to observe the distant gates of Mordor.
Seeing the large number of people at the checkpoint, the group felt a little uneasy.
"What do we do? There are so many orks in this pass, we can't get through at all!" Frodo said anxiously.
"Why think so much? Let's just charge in!" Gimli gripped his long axe, speaking with fierce determination.
Legolas also drew his longbow and said softly, "I can sneak over there. If I'm fast enough, I should be able to take them out."
Aragorn stopped them, shaking his head quietly, "This time we need to sneak into Mordor stealthily, without making too much of a fuss. Otherwise, if we attract attention and Mordor discovers our intentions, we'll be in trouble!"
"Then what do you suggest we do? How is it possible to get through the pass without alerting the enemy?" Gimli asked.
Aragorn fell silent, lost in thought, and then, as if remembering something, took out a bottle of potion from his pocket.
"What is this?" Sam asked curiously.
"This is a Polyjuice Potion that Lord Duir gave us before he left, saying we might need it," Aragorn explained. "We can use the Polyjuice Potion to transform into the likeness of an Ork, then blend in with them and enter Mordor."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
But just then, a rustling sound came from behind them, which was noticed by Legolas, whose hearing was the most acute.
Legolas's expression changed, and he quickly turned around, nocked an arrow, and drew his bow.
"Who goes there!"
