One hundred and forty, to create deterrence

When royal power meets love, it becomes so powerless, no wonder Elrond would say that the power of love lies in the Lord of the Rings. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIt's a pity that the war is over, otherwise I'll ask Elrond for advice, maybe I can understand the mystery of love faster?

Swallowing back the bitterness in his mouth, Thranduil let out a long sigh and agreed to the other's request. Although there was no communication, the two elves seemed to have agreed beforehand. One held the gem in his hand, and the other caught the starlight gem with his open palm.

Let it approach you forever in my place. Thranduil so intended.

I should give the Elven King enough time for him to find a new owner for the gem. Vernor smiled and nodded, silently taking the Starlight Gem into his hand.

The Last Alliance's largest tent completed its last mission on the Ballard Plains before it was demolished. When the Elven King entered the tent in military uniform, the last major meeting of the "Last Alliance" officially began. The theme of the meeting was the timing and arrangement of the withdrawal and repatriation of countries.

The reason for stopping the destruction of the remnants of the enemy army is actually because all the creatures in the Allied army have returned to their hearts after the Danden people have taken the lead in leaving. The deployment of the Elven King, combined with the execution of Linton's soldiers, has completely dispersed the large number of remnants of the enemy army. When the imminent danger vanished, ordinary beings who regarded Sauron's death as their ultimate victory could no longer hold back their longing for their homeland.

The morale of the army is already in turmoil, and no matter how much they insist on fighting, it will not have much effect, and it will only make the soldiers' grievances heavier. The top generals of the countries still on the battlefield had to reach a common understanding of the withdrawal of the camp and return to China according to the current state of the soldiers.

"So, the woodland will be the last country to withdraw its camp?" Slowly putting down the arrangements for the withdrawal of the camps, Serdan looked at the Elven King in disbelief. "Your Majesty of the Woodland, is this still what you asked? Do you know that there are more than 100,000 minions left in Sauron, and it will be very dangerous for the woodland to stay here alone?"

"That's what I asked for. The situation in the woodlands is slightly different from yours. Propping up the slightly slanted armor on his body again, Thranduil said slowly, "There are many children and female elves in the woodland barracks who are still giving birth to new life. I don't know what the situation is now in the woodland royal city, which has been abandoned for seven years, so I have to take the soldiers back to see it first. After making sure that the royal city can provide enough comfortable life for the people of the woodland, he will come back to pick up the remaining wood elves. ”

"Great Elven King, I am deeply touched by your love for your people. However, I still have to warn you that without a sufficient number of soldiers to protect you, you are back in the royal city, and it will be dangerous for the Wood Elves to stay in the camp for the time being. Serdan sighed helplessly, somewhat regretting agreeing to the time given by the officials last night for the Linton barracks to be withdrawn. He said regretfully: "It's a pity that I signed the official letter related to Linton's withdrawal from the camp last night. Otherwise, Linton will withdraw from the camp later, so he can take care of it......"

Although it was only a statement that had no practical effect, Serdan's words still moved Thranduil quite a bit, and even made his tone calm.

"On behalf of the Wood Elves, I thank you for your kindness and reminders. If I don't mind, I'd like to rent the two thousand horses left by the Númenorians. "After leading the first battle at the Black Gate seven years ago, Thranduil has played the best use of resources, and naturally he will not let go of this opportunity. Finding that Serdan was stunned for a moment, and looked in the direction of Officer Linton, Thranduil hurriedly added. "It's only one day, and I'll return it tomorrow after dawn. I promise to bring back at least eighty percent of the horses. ”

"So be it. Thinking of handing over Linton to his woodland elf, Serdan directly ignored Linton's officials' fingers and eyebrows, and made a decision.

After exchanging farewells with the elven king, and having completed the formalities for the rental of horses with the officials and the woodland, Serdan threw himself into the preparations for the retreat of the camp. He didn't have much time, and in two days the Linton barracks would disappear above the Ballard Plains. But after nightfall, the news of the Elven King's re-entry into battle continued to reach his ears.

As soon as the elven king borrowed the horse, he immediately attacked with two thousand wood elf archers. The tens of thousands of goblins cowering near the camp were beaten to death, and those who fled alive scattered. ”

The Elven King hung the head of the goblin leader on the flagpole in the woodland. ”

"The Elven King captured the half-orc deputy leader alive and stabbed him to death with a flagpole in front of the orcs. ”

"The Elven King provoked in front of the fortress gate with a woodland flagpole, but the enemy did not dare to fight. ”

……

Towards dawn, the last news Serdan heard before meeting the Elven King was: "The Elven King ran around alone with the flag of the woodland, and the enemies fled in all directions in his pass. ”

"You, you......" Serdan shook his head and met Thranduil, who had come to return the horse. The night of fierce fighting left the elegant Elven King's face covered in blood, and even the armor on his chest was gone, revealing a black robe embroidered with dark silver thread with tree motifs. "Now I really don't have to worry about the wood elves who stay in the camp for the time being. But do you have enough flags?"

"It's fine. For 6 years, the military flag has been pressed on the Curry, and there are many damages. Fortunately, there are enough of them. Motioning for the archers to return the horses, Thranduil pulled off his unclean gloves and wiped the blood from his face. "Two hundred horses, not one missing. Have you negotiated the rent?"

"I've decided. With a wave of his hand, interrupting the officials who were about to speak, Serdan pointed to the wooden elf holding the military flag behind the Elven King. "Twenty woodland flags. I don't want any more Noldor elves to be hurt on the way back. ”

"Twelve more blood-stained flags were struck. After the explanation, Thranduil said to King Sedan, "These ten faces are for Elrond, please send an official to deliver them on your behalf." I'll leave first. Take care!"

The only way to make the woodland flag have enough deterrent power against the remaining enemy troops. Serdan understood this, and Elrond understood it. It's just that I didn't expect that the elf king, who has always been cold and arrogant, would deliberately send a woodland military flag that is more practical than military power according to his own situation.

Even if he did something to help other creatures, he was afraid that other creatures would find out about his kindness. Elrond shook his head with a smile and took the flag from the Linton officer.

It was these ten woodland banners, soaked in the blood of the enemy, that made Elrond decide to start immediately. With only a thousand cavalry, he returned to Rivendell ten days later. On the way back, although they also saw the remnants of Sauron's minions, the enemy chose to stay away after seeing the woodland badge on the banner.
