And every soldier who is far away from home is also prone to war-weariness and even disobedience to orders when there is no victory incentive for a long time. Pen %Fun %Cabinet www.biquge.info That's why the home side is equivalent to winning half the game without starting the battle. However, Thranduil had no intention of making the Dwarves an away game. What's more, Mordor is only a superficial goal, and the real purpose is to aid Merandiel. To achieve this, Thrandel would not allow Mordor to end the campaign before the Emperor's army came to Gondor.

As long as the war is not over, Thranduil will be able to take the dwarven legions to be stationed outside of Mordor, at the entrance to the city of Gondor Rice, waiting for the arrival of the Emperor's army. The righteous camp will never raise any doubts about the garrison under the guise of "besieging Mordor", and will even give moral and material support. In the name of besieging Mordor, it was possible to garrison the city and resist any act of force launched by the Emperor against the city, and this was the perfect excuse that Thranduil could find!

"That's right. In the past, now, and in the future, long-range combat is always a taboo in the art of war. However, we're not fighting from a distance, so you're a little unwarranted about the use of supplies. With a smug smile, Thranduil tapped his chin in Gondor's direction as Nader stared at him dumbfounded. The royal city of Gondor is our logistical supply. Micheng is right next to Mordor, whether it is supplies or soldiers resting, or even summoning some civilians to come over to work the army, so as to ensure that the army's morale is not scattered. Basically, you can think of Gondor as your own country, and we're not ranged combat. Oh, I know what your next question is. You want to ask why Gondor wants to help us? ”

Picked up the empty glass in his hand and raised it, originally wanting the attendant standing next to him to refill the wine, but he didn't expect Nader to snatch the wine bottle from the attendant's hand. Looking at the dwarf king in front of him with a flattering smile on his face, and urging him to hurry up, Thranduil shook his head and smiled, and quickly finished the wine in the cup.

"At the end of the first year of the Three Eras, Essidor, under the pressure of all his allies in retreating from the war, agreed that the human side would be responsible for conquering Mordor. Although the war criminals are dead, the conquest of Mordor is still a matter for humanity. Or he was ...... back then Forget it, let's not talk about it. In short, humans have the obligation to conquer Mordor, and humans naturally have the right to take over Mordor. We help Gondor do what they are supposed to do, and they certainly have an obligation to help us. Moreover, due to the topography, only Gondor can take over Mordor for a long time. After all, the other kings or lords, the original territories are far away from Mordor. It's unrealistic to take over Mordor from a long distance, and I'm sure you, like me, wouldn't be willing to take over a territory that far away, right? ”

"Certainly wouldn't want to take over. Mordor is too far away, and it is inevitable that you will be weak to manage the lonely mountain and take care of Mordor. Nader, still half-holding the bottle, looked in Mordor's direction and shook his head in disgust. There are no mines there, the only good thing is that the place is big enough. However, the route of the Lonely Mountain to Mordor simply crossed half of Middle-earth. If the troops and residents are stationed in the past, there is no way for Gushan to know in time if something happens, and the risk is too great. And the purpose of our war is to let the world know that the dwarves are strong enough, not to expand their territory. ”

"Actually, when the siege of Mordor was decided, I was going to give all the results to Gondor. Whoever conquers Mordor will only be able to take over if Gondor has the advantage of distance, and Gondor will be happy to help any army that sends Mordor into the army. Thranduil did not hesitate to praise the Dwarven King: "You can see that the ownership of Mordor is not a good thing for the Lonely Mountain, and it means that you are a good king." ”

The reason for suggesting Gondor as the ultimate winner of the Battle of Mordor is that Thranduil would not let the Dwarven King know about his relationship with King Gondor. In fact, even if Gondor is not the ultimate beneficiary, with the agreement he made with Melandiel in secret, with the real purpose of this dispatch, Gondor will give his full support at Merandiel's behest. But it has nothing to do with the relationship with Merandiel, or the ultimate goal of the battle, no one can be aware of it.

Especially the ultimate purpose of sending troops, even to hide it from Vernor, not to mention the dwarf king Nader in front of him?

"Even if the transportation of materials is not a problem, the demand for equipment is not very high if you only besiege it, so why not set off immediately?" Nader, who couldn't contain his excitement, said proudly: "From the moment you promised to take me into battle, I will put 30,000 soldiers into a state of readiness. Order, the whole army can set off by tomorrow evening at the latest. I will order the soldiers to set off lightly with enough rations to reach Mordor. Anyway, when we get to Mordor, Gondor's side will start transporting supplies to us. It's a big deal to give humans some gold coins as money to buy supplies. ”

Anyway, all the state warehouses in Lonely Mountain are already stuffed with treasures, and a few of them are even about to overflow. The King of the Lonely Mountain, who never knew what poverty was like, was just like the Elven King, and was unwilling to owe anything to any living beings in terms of money.

Thranduil agreed with Nader's approach of not indebting anyone in terms of money, but he did not agree with the suggestion to send troops immediately.

Ready to go? Are you kidding! A few hours earlier she had suggested that I could make excuses to accomplish my purpose of going to the army, and the excuse I was thinking was one of two examples she casually made. With her mind, when she learned that I was going to send troops to Mordor at such a short time, she would definitely guess the true purpose of sending troops, and she would most likely find a way to stop me. Let's let the time drag on a little longer, so that she can forget the story on the stone of the lonely mountain.

Wrong. There must be no change in the military assistance, otherwise what has been done in the past six years may be wasted after the Emperor's army is killed. Besides, in the past few years, I have never had the slightest idea of attacking Mordor, and all living beings will feel abrupt when a large-scale military operation suddenly begins. I should find another reason that even she wouldn't doubt, so that all living beings would think that the Elven King's attack on Mordor was inevitable.

"In order for Mordor to be supported by the righteous camp, some preliminary preparations are needed." Raising his hand to stop Nader from refilling himself with wine, Thranduil put his empty glass aside and slowly got up: "If you want to get more support, don't announce the matter of sending troops to Mordor to the public first." I have my own arrangements for the rest of the matter, you just need to wait for my message or appointment. ”

Nader was slightly stunned, and then reacted. He hurriedly put the wine bottle in his hand on the table, and gave a farewell salute to the Elf King, while solemnly promised: "This matter was initiated by the teacher, and the information announced to the outside world should naturally come from the mouth of the teacher." I will keep my mouth shut and respond to your commands with only my actions. ”
