Three hundred and forty-two, strict teachers and friends
Even if he really wanted to make a profit by helping Merandil, the current military strength of the Woodland Kingdom was not equipped to resist the Arnoor royal division. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The dwarven king is not a fool, and the dwarves will be willing to attack the army of the human emperor, why should the dwarven king listen to the elven king?
Although he was eighty percent sure, the cautious Valandil decided to remove Gondor's 3,000 elite soldiers, in addition to increasing national defense, and secretly giving them the task of paying attention to the intersection of the two in Moser. It's just that in this way, the requirements for the soldiers are even higher. It seems that only by using the troops brought by General Osborne can we take into account the role of surveillance while carrying out national defense.
When it comes to the thought of using the pawn to restrain Osborne, the only one can choose is the Saxon general. And this young general, who inherited the rank of his ancestors, although he was forcibly promoted to the same status as the former, but his ability was one order behind, and the soldiers he brought out were much inferior to the Saxons, Varandil sighed wistfully.
"What are you worried about?" As soon as Helana left, Elrond, who was afraid that the future human emperor would be affected badly, rushed over. "You...... Your birth mother has given you a problem again?"
"It's not my mother, it's the Elven King. Standing in front of the wise man with a respectful expression, Valandil said with a sad face: "Mentor, do you think the Elven King will take the opportunity of this siege of Mordor to attack Gondor, so as to fulfill his promise that I will not become the true human emperor? ā
"You are the legitimate human emperor recognized by the elven race, and attacking your territory is to defy the perception of the entire elven race. He is also an elf, and he knows how persistent the elves are in the pursuit of justice, and he will not and does not have the strength to disobey the consensus of his own race. Seeing that the young human did not relax because of these words, Elrond patted him on the shoulder and said, "Before you succeed to the throne of the Human Emperor, the most respected king of our clan will give you a gift to show the support of the Elven clan for the Human Emperor. I will tell the Elven King about this in person. After he knows, he will understand that your status as the human emperor is not something he can shake if he wants to, and he doesn't dare to think anything about Gondor. Are you relieved?"

After returning the children to the woodland, Vernor rushed to the war zone outside Mordor's Gate. When led into the war zone by the Gondor soldiers stationed on the periphery of the war zone, the Elven King and the Dwarven King were sitting on the Anduin River, the closest to the war zone, in the company of a dozen middle-aged human attendants.
The main and deputy generals are doing fishing at leisure, which does not affect the soldiers' drills. Training to obey military orders was taking place not far from them. I don't know if it was due to the slogans shouted by the soldiers in unison, the dwarf king didn't gain much. He glanced at the elven king, who was sitting on a chair with half-squinted eyes and no eyes at all, and muttered in a low voice, "Are the fish here also friendly with the elves? Why can you catch so much?"
"You have to be patient. One moment you bring up the rod to look at it, the next you change positions, and if I were a fish, I would be scared away by you. Thranduil, still half-squinting, hooked her finger behind her. In just a moment, a tray holding red wine was delivered to the hand by the middle-aged waitress.
The lady-in-waitress pointed out by Merandiel was very steady, and even if they were in charge of the close affairs of the two kings at the same time, they kept in mind the different taboos of the two kings. The Elven King is never allowed to have physical contact, and must be delivered on a tray. The dwarven king didn't need to worry about this, and just poured the red wine and sent it to the dwarf king. Just squat on the ground when delivering items, and try not to make yourself taller than the dwarf king.
As it turned out, Merandiel's move to arrange for the middle-aged lady's attendant to serve the king was very wise, and both kings were very satisfied. In addition to the Elven King, who has long been an ally, the Dwarven King Nader is also more friendly to Merandiel. Had it not been for the Elven King reminding him that he should meet less often and acting ill in front of the other creatures, Merandil would have been able to secure King Nader's full support long ago.
Fortunately, every time they met, the Elven King's pretended to be difficult and arrogant always made King Nader look at him sympathetically. Merandiel was sure that even if he couldn't win over the King of the Lonely Mountain for the time being, judging from the attitude of the Dwarf King, he would not help the Emperor of the People he didn't know to attack him.
At this point, Melandil was confident that he would have the power of Gondor for a long time. But this confidence did not change his usual style. He still chooses to live in the slums, and still fights for the best life for the Gondor people. In the words of his wife, after doing it for a long time, it has become a habit. Even when the dust settled, and he sat on the throne of Gondor for a long time, he still did not want to see the people who had taken care of him suffer the slightest grievance.
And another king, who did not want to see his people suffer the slightest grievance, waited for the elf he most wanted to see at this time. After hearing that a team from the Woodland Kingdom had arrived, Thranduil walked back without saying hello, despite the fact that the fish had already been hooked.
"Every time you go to Ringu, you always feel better. These were the first words the Elven King said when he saw Vernor. However, the excitement of the reunion was all overshadowed by the frustration when the next sentence was spoken. "Sometimes I really feel like I've failed to manage the woodland. Otherwise, why do you always leave the woodland with a gloomy face, and come out of the forest valley with high spirits?"
"The state is good because the children are better and the mood is naturally good, and it has nothing to do with the woodland and the forest valley. It's not that you're not doing well. ā
"I knew that in the hands of the best healers, those children would sooner or later become happy elves. After the biggest worry in his heart was lifted, Thranduil teased, "If Middle-earth is without Elrond, I don't know how many more souls will be added." Strange to the few creatures said in private, Elrond was the best gift Iluvita had given to the creatures of Midstate. ā
"Virtuous and compassionate, it is a gift for all races. There was no other living creature in the great hall, and Vernoll said as he removed his sand and hat, "But our Majesty is no worse. It scared the hell out to hear that you went fishing. When I saw these buildings in the war zone, I was even more frightened. I never knew that war could be waged, I thought ......"
"Do you think it's the same as the 'Last Alliance Campaign' a few years ago, you can't get enough to eat, your equipment is tight, and you don't even have a stable place to live?" Seeing Vernor's relaxed face, Thranduil simply took her hand and stood by the window. Pointing to the building under construction to the north, the Elven King said proudly, "A hall is being built there that can accommodate more than three thousand dwarves at the same time. Later, Gondor sent musicians to the labor army to stage operas there, and the soldiers had one more entertainment in addition to drinking, playing cards and chattering. ā
