"If things are as you say, Merandil and I will be forever grateful for your kindness. "Queen Gondor saluted the Elven King in front of several domestic servants, but only received ridicule from the other party.www.biquge.info

"I don't care at all about being grateful for something that doesn't really work. The elf king, who was holding his arms in his arms, looked at his wife, who was still bent on one knee, and said playfully, "Use the energy and time spent on gratitude to act." The Emperor of Man won't give us much time. ”

A few days later, all the creatures of Ichia saw the sun for the first time in the 10th year of the Third Age.

The weather is very unusual during this time. The temperature was so low that even the elves added a thin coat, but the heavy snow that was long overdue was still gone. In the palace of the war zone, where he had lived for nearly two years, the Elven King ordered Vernorr to return to the woodland with all the Wood Elves. His excuse was: "I don't have a sense of rejection of interracial contact anymore, and it's enough to have human acolytes." Start preparing today and take them back home as soon as possible. ”

The sudden arrival of the order made Vernor very strange. Raising his head at the desk, Vernoll looked at Thranduil for a long time before lowering his head again and writing a diplomatic letter while asking, "Why did Your Majesty suddenly ......?"

"It's sudden...... I suddenly dreamed of the forest yesterday. Thranduil, who had already thought of an excuse, deliberately made a look of reminiscence, and said with a half-squinted eye: "I dreamed that the forest had become luxuriant, and the branches and leaves were entwined and I would not let go. They have been complaining about my departure, complaining that I have not grown up with them. And every wood elf seen in the dream was unfamiliar, as if it had never been seen before. They said it was my child, but their strangeness kept me away. Later, I thought, maybe they really are my children, but I've been away from the forest for too long to remember what they used to be. ”

It turned out to be homesick like a human. Vernore couldn't help but be infected by his concern, and lowered his head and smiled.

Thurandil wanted us to go back and grow up with the forest and the children on his behalf, and looking at the few unfinished diplomatic greetings in his hand, Vernault readily agreed. "Good. After I wrote these letters, I began to prepare. You can leave in the evening at the latest. ”

After saying this, several wood elves in the hall who had been listening to their conversation became a little happy. But after a while, they hesitated again.

Returning to the forest was a joy for every Wood Elf present. Even if the forest is still zero, there are only a few trees that can be climbed. But this does not affect the deep love and attachment of the wood elves to the forest. But returning to the forest also meant leaving the king for a while. Until the siege of Mordor yields significant results, it is clear that the Elven King will not give up his efforts for two years and return to the forest.

As if knowing what they were thinking, Thranduil raised his voice slightly to Vernor, sounding like to the Wood Elf squire, "Prepare well when you get back." Maybe I'll be back home in less than a year. ”

"What you say is true?" a wood elf could not contain the joy in his heart, and had the courage to interject. "Your Majesty doesn't lie to us?"

"Oh, so in your eyes, I am the king of words?" Raising his chin slightly, facing the wood elf with an angry look, Thranduil said dissatisfied, "If you believe me, pack your things now." ”

It took a few seconds for the Wood Elves to withdraw from the double joy of returning home and the imminent return of the King, and withdrew with a laugh and whispering. Seeing that there were only a few human attendants standing at the door in the hall, Vernoll asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty said that you can return to China within a year." So Mordor will be conquered in a year?"

It's not just a year, if I want to, I can conquer it today.

Knowing that there were no enemies left in Mordor, the Elven King, who could take it down at any time, did not say this, but just nodded.

"After two years of encirclement, many enemies escaped. Since the entire west was a war zone, the enemy did not dare to flee to the west, so they all made a long detour and gathered to the Gangbada Mountain. In this case, the extinct kingdom of Angmar will probably be active again in a few hundred years. ”

Neither Vernor nor Thrandel knew much about the past of the Kingdom of Angmar. This kingdom of evil creatures has not existed for the same time as they have lived. All they knew was that with the demise of Sauron, the kingdom of Angmar had not disappeared, but they had not heard of the existence of a ruler. In a kingdom without rulers, the evil creatures who take refuge in it may be able to hold their ground, but it is absolutely impossible to organize a large-scale attack.

Unbeknownst to them, Angmar's actual rule was still in the hands of the Witch King. It's just that during the period when Sauron was nowhere to be found, and the righteous camp had an absolute advantage, the Witch King, who was so weak that he had no power at all, deliberately hid his true identity. The Witch King, who knew that the Lord of the Rings had not destroyed Sauron and was not dead, chose the way of hiding in Zhongzhou, and began to absorb the fugitive Oaks in a covert and planned way. Taoguang's policy of avoiding its edge gave the Witch King enough strength to resist in 1300 A.D., and it was only then that the evil kingdom of Angmar reappeared in Zhongzhou.

Of course, that's all for later. At the mention of Angmar, Vernor couldn't help but start worrying. But when I looked through the window at the gate of Mordor, which hadn't been touched for two years, my worry turned into pride.

"Your Majesty can besiege Mordor today without elven soldiers, and you will be able to conquer Angmar tomorrow. They are all your defeated men, for the sake of human peace, what does it matter if they temporarily avoid the Gangdaba Mountains and keep their lives?" Slowly folding the written official letter, Vernoer said in a brisk but somewhat regretful tone: "It's just that Your Majesty has to work hard again." Now the woodlands have not returned to their pre-war strength. In the case of a shortage of soldiers, it seems to you that you should increase the number of patrols to deter the enemy from attacking. ”

As long as I don't leave the woodland and don't leave you in the future, let alone patrol the border, it doesn't matter if I go to plant trees. As for Mount Gangdaba, let it go. Oakes' fecundity is terrifying, and even if they can't kill them, they will flee to other places if they conquer the Gondaba Mountains. It's better to keep them away from woodland. I can also better monitor the movement and hit them as soon as they try to mess up.

Thranduil thought so, but didn't say a word, just nodded and smiled in response.

Sending Vernorr away immediately under the pretext of missing the forest, and keeping her in the war zone for a year, were all planned by Thranduil.

Or let her stay here and witness the change of power in Gondor? Watch the Elven King pressure Valandil to give up Gondor's real power? Or let her see the Elven King command the Dwarven army against the Human Emperor's legions?
