Three hundred and twelve, look at the future

"Don't worry, Your Majesty the Woodland, I know that the elven race has a calm temperament and is not alarmed. www.biquge.info But I'm not an elf, and I can't watch the Emperor put a sharp blade on the heads of his people and force them to obey power. Speaking of excitement, Merandil even tapped the table twice. "The tiger is about to reach adulthood, its claws and fangs are about to grow, and if it doesn't do anything, it will eat us in one bite?"

"Tigers with claws and fangs are only hunters' prey. Seeing that Merandil was really anxious, Thranduil had no choice but to restrain his expression, and said: "I didn't want to hit you, but looking at you like this, it seems that there is no way for you to dispel your doubts without specifying the situation." Merandiel, think about it first, can you really lead the Gondor's legions against me against the Emperor? Not to mention that Essidor moved the main forces back to the Kingdom of Arnol, Gondor's forces were not able to fight against the Emperor at all. In what name do you mobilize the soldiers of Gondor to follow you against the Emperor, and your opponent is the Emperor of Humanity, the supreme leader of the human race, and you have no political stance that would allow the humans to follow you against the Supreme Leader. ”

Merandiel's anxiety was banished by this last sentence. Frustrated, she sat down in her chair, and Melendiel kept blaming herself in her heart.

Just as the Elf King said, the Human Emperor can't let the two human relatives kill each other, and I can't do it myself! The Human Emperor rules the two countries of Gondor and Arnoel, which is the iron rate that has existed since the ancestor of the Danden royal family. Valandil was justified in reclaiming Gondor power. In other words, Valandil crushed Gondor, and as a low-ranking King of Gondor, I am not even qualified to resist. forcibly mobilized the legion to respond to the elven king, and was convicted of colluding with foreign clans and seizing power for profit. When the time comes, don't say that the soldiers will not listen to my dispatch, even the elven race that guards the peace of the world will stand on the side of the human emperor and support Valandil with practical actions to get what he deserves.

Even if others find out that he has the slightest intention of rebelling against the Emperor, not only will he not get any help, but even the good image he has created in the hearts of the human beings in the past six years will change, and the popular hearts he has gained will be lost because of the idea of usurping power.

"Or do you see it better. Merendil sighed, convinced. "I didn't think it through and let you listen to the joke. It seems that I really can't do anything. ”

Thinking of this, it was clear that his kingdom was the biggest beneficiary, but he couldn't do anything for the elf king who helped him, Merandil turned his face away with some shame, not daring to face the elf king.

"It's good to admit mistakes. It's not like you can't do nothing, though. Gaining the hearts and minds of Gondor is something you can only do. Putting in the other party's ashamed looks, Thranduil said meaningfully: "You must be a king who 'obeys his orders and obeys his ways'. You can do whatever the emperor says, even if he wants to kill you, you still have to look grateful to Dade. Ordinary beings like to sympathize with the weak the most. Even if you are just a superficial weakling, you can win more hearts and minds for you. ”

Use his own weakness and obedience to make the human emperor even more ruthless?Merandil secretly shouted hello, and his mind began to fly. Soon he found an idea that would definitely satisfy the Elf King.

"When I returned to Gondor, I immediately took my family to live in the civilian quarters. My whole family no longer enjoys any of the things that a king deserves, except for the necessities of state. After all, the Emperor said that he would kick my whole family out as soon as he succeeded to the throne. I had to be ready to be kicked out with my family at any time. ”

"Hmm. It doesn't get any better than that. Speaking of which, the boy Valandil was just as young as I was back then, and he acted too impatiently. Something going too fast will inevitably make people think that he is too strong, and it will also make you weaker. Just do it the same way. "As he got up and poured his wine, Thranduil said solemnly: 'I must remind you that the opinion of the people is very important in this matter. It can be said that whether or not you can continue to protect Gondor depends entirely on the choice of the Gondor people for their ruler. The help I provide is only an aid. ”

"Please rest assured in this regard. Seeing that the Elven King stopped talking, but only smiled through the window at the children not far away, Merandil took the courage to ask, "Can you tell me how you will help with force?"

Merandil knew that he had no reason to rebel against the Human Emperor, but the Elven King of the non-human race did not!

From a racial point of view, this is an internal matter of the human race, and as long as it does not affect the world, the upright elves should even support the human emperor with their actions to take back the right to rule. How will the elven king, who has no troops, resist the resistance of the whole clan and provide military help to Gondor? Where does he get the army to help by force? After several years of secret contact, Merandil did not dare to say that he knew everything about the woodland kingdom, but he knew that the elven king did not have many soldiers who really belonged to him. If it weren't for the small number of his people, how could a king take care of the young elves himself?

"The main force of Dendam was all sent to Arnor by Essidor, and their number is about 30,000, and you must know the combat effectiveness. Seeing that the Elven King's expression did not change, and he just nodded with a light smile, Merandil could continue to give a kind reminder: "Judging from the number of soldiers under your complete control, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist the legion led by the Human Emperor. Are you going to call in the elven soldiers from the Linlin side to support you?"

Using Galadriel's soldiers to help Gondor rule independently from the Emperor?Thranduil almost shuddered at the thought of this.

In the eyes of the Elven King, there are three elves in Middle-earth who have abnormal observation powers by virtue of their own wisdom. Compared to Serdan and Elrond, Galadriel was the wisest of them all. She is wise and strange to ordinary elves, and with powerful magic, even FΓ«anor, who made the elven diamond, respected her three points. There is no doubt that Galadriel is the most powerful elf in Middle-earth at this time. Even if Thranduil didn't have a single soldier, she didn't want to risk being exposed to the truth by Galadriel.

"I'm not going to call any of the soldiers on the other side of the forest. The current soldiers in the woodland also have their own lives on their own, and it is difficult to mobilize. Thranduil suppressed the urge to stroke his forehead, and maintained his apparent composure. "So you have to be mentally prepared. Don't be alarmed if you see me near Gondor with soldiers of non-elven races. ”
