Chapter 391 The Ghost Army
As the weapon that once defeated Sauron, the Ringwraiths naturally have a deep memory of Narsil and fear it like a tiger.
This holy sword contains immense power, capable of suppressing and destroying evil forces. Even the broken sword could break through the power on Sauron's body, severely injuring him.
Otherwise, Sauron wouldn't have vanished from his body during the final battle of the Alliance, simply because his finger was severed and the One Ring left his body.
Therefore, this holy sword not only has a restraining effect on Sauron, but it is also enough to pose a deadly threat to the Ringwraiths.
Once hit and injured, one's soul will be completely destroyed, and even Sauron cannot be resurrected.
The Ringwraiths were frightened away by Narsil's sword, and Aragorn did not give chase. Instead, he immediately raised the sword and plunged it fiercely into the head of the demon at his feet.
The hard skull of the demon was like a fragile piece of paper, pierced through by the holy sword and deeply embedded in the demon's skull.
The ferocious dragon didn't even have time to let out a scream before its body stiffened and its eyes went out.
The evil spirit residing within the demonic dragon's body unleashed a dense black mist that shot straight into the sky and exploded.
The dragon rotted rapidly, its black blood oozing out a foul stench that poisoned the weeds on the ground, turning them withered and yellow, leaving only a massive skeleton.
The dragon was fed large amounts of rotting corpses and filth by Sauron and corrupted by evil power. Its flesh and blood were poisonous, unlike the whelps in the dragon farms of Aisengard. It was a completely demonized dragon.
The land where it rots after its death will be polluted and turned into a wasteland, where nothing will grow for hundreds of years.
Before the dragon was completely corrupted, Aragorn drew his sword and pointed it at the Ringwraiths.
"Who are you? Why is the sword Narsil in your hands?" The Ringwraith looked at Aragorn with great apprehension.
"I am Aragorn, son of Arason, direct descendant of Isildur, rightful wielder of the sword Narsil!" Aragorn proclaimed.
Although the Ringwraiths feared the sword of Narsil, they still sneered, "Descendant of Isildur, even if you possess the sword of Narsil, you cannot stop the destruction of Gondor!"
Aragorn remained resolute, seemingly unaffected by the aura of fear emanating from the Nazgwarts. He declared, "Gondor will not be destroyed; only you will be destroyed today!"
As they were speaking, a chilling wind swept in from the west of the battlefield. The wind was so cold that it chilled one to the bone, making one shiver involuntarily.
The fierce fighting on the battlefield came to a temporary halt, and everyone couldn't help but look to the west, their eyes widening in surprise.
Accompanied by billowing winds and mist surging towards the battlefield, hundreds of thousands of ghostly troops drifted toward the battlefield at the speed of the wind, their dense deathly aura soaring into the sky, causing the sky to change color.
They were like death messengers from hell, coming to reap souls on the battlefield.
Even the soldiers from Mordor were terrified when they saw such a large army of undead.
The Ghost King, wielding the Sword of the Dead, led a vast army of ghosts into the battlefield.
The soldiers of Mordor and Gondor were terrified by the terrifying ghosts, but to the relief of the Gondor soldiers, the ghost army attacked only the Mordor side, completely ignoring their Gondorian soldiers.
Upon seeing this, the Gondorian soldiers knew that these ghosts had come to help them. With a shout from Aragorn, they led the charge with the ghosts towards the Mordor camp.
The Gondorian warriors roared and raised their weapons once more, following the ghostly army as they charged toward the Mordor army.
The soldiers of Mordor attempted to fight off the attack of the ghost army, but the ghost army completely ignored physical attacks; blades, arrows, and other weapons were useless against the ghosts and could not harm them at all.
However, the attacks of the ghosts can inflict fatal damage on Mordor's army.
Under the attack of the ghost's undead weapons, the Mordor soldiers, though without any wounds, all collapsed and showed no signs of life.
Those colossal creatures, such as dragons and mammoths, were also covered by countless ghosts. No matter how much they struggled and cried out, they eventually collapsed and could not rise again.
Even the evil spirit residing within the dragon's body was besieged by numerous ghosts, forcibly pulled out, and then torn to shreds.
Under the combined attack of the ghosts and the Gondorian army, the Mordor army was completely outmatched and retreated in defeat. Especially when facing the unreasonable forces of the ghosts, the Mordor army had no ability to resist at all.
The army of Mordor began to fall into chaos, which then led to more and more defeats.
The Ringwraiths, shocked and enraged by the sight, attempted to attack the Lord of the Ghosts.
But Aragorn, Legolas, Faramir, and the other Dúnedan wizards all joined forces to attack the Ringwraiths.
Aragorn, wielding his holy sword which is effective against the Ringwraiths, was responsible for attacking them.
Faced with this reversal of the offensive and defensive situation, the Ringwraiths have begun to consider retreating.
But Aragorn and his companions were clearly unwilling to let him go.
"Call upon the gods for protection!" Everyone simultaneously cast the guardian spell.
Aragorn summoned a lion guardian, Legolas summoned a massive stag, Faramir summoned a wild bull, and others summoned guardians such as dogs, cats, and horses.
The light and hope emanating from so many guardian deities gathered together have a powerful ability to restrain the dark spirits, such as the Ringwraiths.
If it were just one or two Guardians, the Ringwraiths would naturally be fearless. But now, dozens of Guardians have joined forces, forcing the Ringwraiths to unleash their full power, releasing dark energy to confront the Guardians.
The guardian spirits transformed into a holy and luminous barrier, trapping the Ringwraiths within and giving them no chance to escape.
Under the suppression of the Patronus' barrier, Aragorn entered the barrier and engaged in a fierce battle with the Ringwraiths, wielding the sword Narsil.
While living in the Valley, Aragorn received meticulous training from Elrond, which made him quite strong to begin with. After learning magic, his strength increased several times over.
In addition to his decades of travel experience, he was still able to hold his own against the powerful Ringwraiths.
Finally, with the help of his companions, Aragorn plunged his sword into the Nazghun's chest.
Struck by Nasir's holy sword, the Ringwraith let out a painful, sharp howl. The dark magic power on his body was broken, and his armor twisted and collapsed inward.
A massive blast wave erupted from the Ringwraith's body, sending Aragorn, Legolas, and others flying. Within the Ringwraith's radius, everyone on the battlefield was knocked to the ground.
The Ringwraith vanished completely, leaving only a ring lying on the ground.
With the Ringwraiths, the commander of Mordor's army, killed, Mordor's morale was completely shattered, and they scattered and fled.
However, this only made them more vulnerable to being hunted down by the ghost army and the Gondorian army.
In particular, the ghosts are incredibly fast, and there's no way the Mordor soldiers could escape them. They were quickly reaped by the ghosts.
Aragorn did not chase after the fleeing Mordor soldiers, but instead bent down and picked up the rings left behind by the Nazgûl.
But as soon as his finger touched the ring, he felt a powerful temptation.
With his strong willpower, Aragorn resisted the temptation, then quickly wrapped the ring in a black cloth and put it in his spatial pocket, intending to hand it over to Lord Elrond and the others after things were over.
When the last Mordor soldier was killed, deafening cheers erupted on the battlefield and in the city of Minas Tirith.
Everyone celebrated the victory.
Just when the warriors and people of Gondor thought that Gondor was about to be destroyed and had fallen into despair, things took an unexpected turn.
In the end, they not only defended the city of Minas Tirith, but also completely annihilated the invading army of Mordor.
All of this is thanks to those ghostly armies.
Whether it was the Gondorian soldiers on the battlefield or the people in the city, they all looked at the ghost army with a mixture of fear and gratitude in their eyes.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the group of ghosts gathered together and came before Aragorn.
With a grateful expression, Aragorn addressed the Ghost King and the ghosts behind him, saying, "Thank you for helping us defeat the army of Mordor and saving Gondor from destruction. You are free!"
