Valandil gritted her teeth and broke free from her biological mother's pull, using extreme restraint to make her tone appear calm. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info "Gondor's entry into the strategic nation is justified, and there is no reason to refute it. Even the former emperors also gave economic independence to war-ready countries. Even if I succeed to the throne, there is no reason to meddle in the economy of the countries that have entered the war. Interfering in Gondor's present economy, regardless of the facts of the war, and even demanding that they pay a corresponding amount of wealth according to the situation in non-war times, will cause criticism and will make me questioned. ”

"Do you care about criticism?" As if listening to a big joke, Shelana shuddered with laughter. "Don't tell me you care what humans think of you. Sanctioning the Supreme General, suppressing Merandil, and deliberately making the quality of life of the Gondor people lower than that of the Arnors in order to show that only by following the Emperor can enjoy the best life - you don't care about human opinions, and now you are using 'causing criticism' to prevaricate your biological mother's demands? ”

"As the supreme king of the human race, of course I don't care what the humans under me think of me, and I'm not afraid of any criticism from them." The future human emperor put his hands behind his back, and said with a solemn feeling that a 19-year-old human should not have: "But I can't, and I don't dare not care about the opinions of elves. The elves had fought alongside the humans led by their grandfather for seven years, and were well aware of the norms of our race; In particular, the privileges of the war-ready country are known even to an ordinary elven soldier. Under the noses of the elves, unconscionable and unlawful orders are issued to Gondor, and the righteous elves will not sit idly by. ”

"Speaking of which, you're afraid of upsetting your esteemed mentor, aren't you?" After letting out a cold snort, Shelana sneered, "I don't know what to respect about the elf who taught you to dare to resist even your biological mother!" ”

"I will not allow anyone to discredit Lord Rivendell, including you!" Finding that her mother had taken a few steps back in fright at this remark, Varendil took a few deep breaths before softening her tone again. "Elves are a race full of justice. They have the courage to stand up to injustice, even if it is not the creatures of their own race who are being treated unfairly. The scary thing is that as long as one elf says no to an unjust order, all the elves will stand up and support it with actions. I can't do without the help of the elves now, and certainly I can't offend the righteous elves. Once they become disgusted, I may lose the support of the elven race. What does it mean to lose the support of the elves? Can I sit on the throne of the human emperor just by you? Regardless of whether or not you can take back the real power of Gondor, if the elves do not take care of our orphans and widows, King Thrandil, who was offended by you, will surely fulfill his promise and make me unable to become the true emperor of men. ”

Seeing that Hirana's face was still full of indignation, Valandil had no choice but to take her hand and say, "Mother, in the past few years, I have been able to rely on the excuse of 'my own affairs' to make it difficult for elves to interfere in human affairs. But why did Gondor enter a strategic state? It is to provide support for the Elven King and the Dwarven King to join forces to attack Mordor. The creatures in Mordor owe too much of a blood debt to the elves, and how much they hate Sauron, they want the troops attacking Mordor to be well supported. If I don't help Mordor now, and indirectly let the rebels' supplies be detained, the elves will either cut off relations with me, or turn around and seek justice from me. ”

"Is the situation really as serious as you say? A dignified person still wants to taboo elves? Seeing that Varendil frowned and nodded, afraid that she would be excluded from the royal family again, Helana, trying to find her last hope to comfort herself. Elrond is the twin brother of the Emperor's Ancestor, and no matter what you do, he'll be on your side, right? ”

"In addition to being the twin brother of the Emperor Ancestor, the mentor is also an elf, and he is also an elf with extremely noble character in the elven race." With a heavy sigh, Varendil muttered in pain. "His pursuit of justice has reached the point of selflessness. Don't say that I'm just his nephew for I don't know how many generations, even if I am his elder and dare to do something that violates justice or is unfair to other living beings, he will be the first to stand up against me. In short, in the case of Gondor, not only should I not issue any orders that are unfavorable to the rebels, but I should also act in support of them. ”

Thinking of the reason why the Elven King sent troops this time, Valandil was so jealous that he almost wanted to pound the wall. For a dozen frightened children? This reason for the expedition was praised by the whole elven clan. And the dwarves who went out together to kill King Tingge and were hated by the elves also improved their image among the elves. In the past few days, the elves I respect the most have also reminded themselves that they must take practical actions to thank the creatures who went on the expedition.

"They're helping you fight Mordor." The wise man didn't talk much nonsense, and directly laid out the benefits that Valandil would gain from this. "Mordor's takeover ultimately belongs to Gondor, who in turn comes under the authority of the Emperor, and after all, they are helping you expand your territory. As the ultimate beneficiary, King Serdan thinks you should show something. I also think that you should show something about helping your army as a future human emperor. ”

The words of the wise man allowed Valandil to finally use reason to overcome his sensibility. For the sake of really helping me expand my territory, I would like to express it.

"I have decided that all of Gondor's proceeds will not have to be handed over until the end of the siege of Mordor, and will be used to support the armies involved in the war. In addition, I will send 3,000 elite troops to Merandil to strengthen the defenses of Gondor. ”

In other words, because of the Elven King's battle, in addition to temporarily losing all the benefits of Gondor, he also has to take out troops to support the Elf King? Although she had to compromise on the facts, the thought of giving more benefits to the Elven King made her breath unbearable. However, Varendil did not give her another chance to complain.

"If you want to bring the title of queen to yourself, you have to give up these small benefits. Okay, you should hurry back to China. When you have the title of queen, what do you want? After Valandil, who knew what his birth mother was thinking, said this, he looked thoughtfully at the location of Mordor on the map, and he didn't even know when Helana left.

Will Merandiel, who has been subservient to herself for several years, take this opportunity to enlist the support of the Elven King? If Merandil had the support of the Elven King, would he not have returned Gondor to power? With his hands around his chest, Valandil began to sort out the movements of the Elven King and Merandilan over the past few years.

No, no, even if Merandil curries favor with the Elven King, the latter's shrewdness will not do his best to support him against me. Although the king of the woodland is more practical than the elves, he has never had the ambition to expand, and he is fully focused on the revival of the forest.
