Chapter 117: Position

If it was according to his original intention, Ling Qi didn't really want to turn friends and enemies with the elves immediately. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Their ideas are ridiculous, but their tranquil nature is also destined to be good neighbors. But there must be two prerequisites, the first is a situation of peace, and the second is the belief that there is at least no conflict.

The elves are willing to ally with humans and dwarves, and the elven king is willing to tolerate him, not because he or other human dwarves are regarded by the elves as their own kind, but there is no direct contradiction between them, and the enemies that the elves have to face are too strong to resist on their own.

However, peace-loving elves are not blindly compromised, and their arrogance is much deeper than the superficial peace.

If Ling Qi really revealed his true nature, he would undoubtedly become the public enemy of the elves, and even the elves would not hesitate to kill some nobles in the human world who blasphemed the elves, such as those who secretly supported the slave trade of the forest elves.

Humans and dwarves are willing to form an alliance with elves, and even stoop to them, which also means that the situation is compelling.

Elves have always had differences in their positions and Lingqi, and as time goes on, this divergence is getting bigger and bigger. Ling Qi would not tolerate others pointing fingers at him when he was doing things, and now that his form was very good, he would not even be willing to be false and wronged.

In the past, the elves were just granaries that could move around in his eyes, but now there is a difference, but once he decides to break with the elves in advance, he will not hesitate at all.

The visible path to strength is too rare to give up, and there is no danger of imaginary self-consciousness annihilation, so what is there to hesitate about, false friendship?

Dilate! Invade! War! Captive!

Another ten days passed, and the territory of the land of mead increased tenfold, and it was more than three times the size of the Shire in the west.

To the north is the border of the vanished kingdom of Arno, with Nenuvel and North Hill as the horns, and the mercenary land of Fornost as the key points. To the south of Kadolan under the South Hill, the original dangerous land has also become a magnificent wonder in the territory.

This is not only that, Ling Qi even sent a large army, penetrating the mines to the east, bypassing the forests and swamps, until under the leadership of Fengyun, in the middle of the Eastern Avenue of the brandy bridge connecting the Shire border and the last bridge over the Missisel River, on the main artery under the top of the wind and clouds, a military fortress was built magnificently!

This time he invaded the south and the north, and laid a territory equivalent to more than half of the dark and dense forest on the basis of the original projectile land, with a vertical and horizontal area of more than 100 miles, and a vast territory, which was almost equivalent to establishing a large country east of the Shire that was only inferior to Rohan and Gondor!

Such a ferocious momentum was not expected by the other lords at all, including the Holy White Council!

The speed of Ling Qi's expedition to the south and the north was too fast, and the territory he fought down was too stable, and none of the lords who surrendered rebelled, which completely violated common sense, and those losers were really so willing to accept the status quo?!

In the eyes of those who care, his troops are like divine soldiers from heaven, wherever they hit, as long as they break through the city gates, once the other party officially surrenders and declares that they are under its command, or the recalcitrant ones are killed, then the original subjects in the hostile territory will immediately succumb. This kind of rhythm of the first battle and the realm of the subdued soldiers are even more exaggerated than the plot described in the legendary story, and the rhythm of the birth of a saint is alive!

What was even more unacceptable to the surrounding lords was that the troops under Ling Qi's command were originally just robbing and robbing people and food, but later they shifted their strategic goals for some reason, and even the land had to be occupied!

The elves withdrew their envoys, and several elven kings had already gathered together, presumably discussing countermeasures.

The surrounding human lords moved faster than the elves, after all, they were all direct victims, and they all dispelled the idea of resolving the conflict through diplomatic means half a month ago, and launched a large-scale coalition to denounce Lynch, who did not understand the rules, and also marked him as a member of the evil camp.

Needless to say, the result of that expedition was that more than half of the soldiers who stepped into the territory of the other side were killed, and the other half could not return, so they turned back and surrendered!

As a result, the lords in the rear were unable to understand the details of the battle, and only listened to the reports of a few defeated generals who ran back, as if there were orcs and ogres in the enemy army!

During that time, the evil forces that sprung up in various places, after a short period of silence, launched the first frenzy!

The Southern Gondor Alliance, the tribal kingdom of the Pinas Forest, has fallen, and the warriors who have always been known for their axe skills are attacked by pirates from the shores of Andras when they are attacked by pirates from the shores of Andras while fighting head-on with Eled's Denland Advance Army.

The Angremir Lords of Belfaras Bay were also attacked by the Assassins at the same time and died of his wounds.

Half a day later, the world-famous Swan Knight lost the battle against the Umbar pirates, and if it weren't for the bravery of the young heir to the title, Adlahir II, I am afraid that Doranros would have been defeated at that time.

The battle to the east of Gondor was also in an awkward situation, and the army of Mordor swept in like locusts, and the regent announced that he would abandon the wild lands, and ordered the local subjects to move to the main cities of the governor's office, and implement a policy of defensive counterattack with strong walls and clear fields.

Such a negative countermeasure, although it is a wise choice for the few soldiers and generals, but it has almost given up the advantage of the homeland, so that even the white city can see sporadic wolf cavalry running to reconnoitre.

The war situation in the kingdom of Rohan was not much better than that of Gondor, the entire east was a filthy place, and Idoras was transformed from a royal city into a fortress to block the westward advance of Mordor and Dolgodo.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the Valley of the Holy Helm in the far west of Rohan, under the leadership of a new generation of young generals Eddie Mora, has blocked the main force of the Denlanders and avoided the situation of the Rohan Kingdom being attacked on the back.

The battle situation in the north of the continent is even worse than in the south, and Rohan and Gondor in the south of the continent are still a few powerful countries, even if they are invaded by many enemy forces, they can maneuver around, and even if they fall into the disadvantage, they can still resist one or two.

As for the north and central parts of the continent, there are really no human forces that can handle it, and the so-called nobles in various places are all local tyrants and gentry, enclosing land as kings, and suppressing local peasant rebellions are all heroes.

In the face of this wave of evil, many people still remember that half a month ago, not long after the outbreak of the first and second waves of evil offensives, at the foot of the lonely mountain in the north of the mainland, in the long-forgotten Changhu Town, an outstanding hero suddenly appeared, leading the townspeople of Changhu Town, and really fought a beautiful victory, inspiring the hearts of the righteous side.

The hero was no longer there, he left, walked inexplicably, waved his hand, and left behind a piece of infamy. People don't want to admit it, but they have to admit that they really need a hero to stand up and be the ruler, and they believe that more people will be willing to die for victory and stand up to save the world. Of course, every person who dreams like this is probably not ready to sacrifice his ego.

It's a pity that there is only one hero, and he is not a fool yet. Whatever he did, he retreated. According to the latest credible rumors, he has even turned into a demon.

Bibeau, the new mayor of Long Lake, failed to continue the legend, and in the middle of the night after the legendary lord left, the town was razed to the ground by an army of orcs who had descended south from Lonely Mountain!

It is said that the battle was quite grand, with more than 10,000 troops from both sides and more than 20,000 troops from the orcs.

In Changhu Town, the main nobles of the entire north participated, and even the local forces that were unwilling to provide assistance to Changhu Town before also contributed money and efforts.

It is said that in that battle, someone saw the figure of the two legendary wizards in the gray robe and the brown robe, and even the elven king of the dark forest, Thranduil, also participated, bringing the most elite troops under his command, but in the end it failed to change the ending.

The coalition forces were defeated, and there was not one in the army and the brave soldiers who joined the frontal battlefield.

A new commander has appeared on the evil side, who has taken the form of a giant fire demon and spits fireballs, a thousand times more powerful than the other so-called commander, the Pale Orc. It blew down the walls of Long Lake Town in one fell swoop, crushed the lone king of the mountain, and almost burned the gray-robed wizard to ashes!

The remnants of the northern princes, the defeated generals and the surviving lords, retreated to the forest elf kingdom in the dark and dense forest.

The orc army that pursued to the dark jungle inexplicably went crazy and slashed each other and died of epilepsy, which made the momentum of the evil forces invade the south and west, but this could not solve the fundamental problem, because the orc army could completely bypass the forest and invade other places, and the elven kingdom could not support so many remnants of the defeated army.

The allies of the previous moment have become a burden, and new contradictions will brew.

Savages were seen plowing in the Inland Sea of Runne, and they were defeated, but they returned to their homeland as they wished.

Legend has it that the Window of the World in the southern regions of Gondor, the gathering place of the Sion rangers, was surrounded by the Haradians.

Less than two months after the battle between good and evil began on the day of Turin, it became clear that darkness would sweep the land if no miracle happened.

It seems that this situation has never occurred in history, except for the first rise of Morgoth and Sauron in antiquity.

Half a year ago, human beings, who were still active on the continent and who only found it difficult to conquer nature and claimed to be the masters of the world, could not adapt to the new changes at all.

When the lands around the Land of Mead were invaded from within, the lords confirmed that there were indeed evil creatures in the invaders' forces, but they fell silent.

There are also nobles clamoring to ask the Holy White Council to preside over justice, these nobles can know that the Holy White Council, the original power is not small, and the background must be extremely deep.

More small and medium-sized nobles have begun to shrink their strength, and some nobles are even ready to drag their families to migrate and flee to other places, but in this situation, where else can they run? Rivinedell? Or Roslorian?

In extraordinary times, there will inevitably be people who will do extraordinary things, such as the legendary lord Lynch, who is obviously a rising star of the righteous path, suddenly seems to have lost his mind, as if he has really become a traitor to the righteous path, and begins to attack the city and plunder the land everywhere.

The only thing that sets him apart from the evil creatures is that he allows the nobles to surrender. The evil forces are waging war in order to turn black and white upside down, and he is more like he is purely expanding his territory, but the timing is very coincidental and easy to misunderstand.

It's been a long time since no one in Middle-earth has done that.

Territorial exploitation is not a pretext for waging war, there is always only one reason for war, and that is profit.
