Four hundred and twenty, the east wind has arrived
From the entrance of the Micheng Palace to the council hall, the distance is not long, but it is not short. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Along the way, Thranduil not only saw the soldiers stationed on both sides of the road, but also met three groups of heavily armored human emperor's guards. However, all the human soldiers did not stop the Elven King, but instead bowed to make way for him.
In this case, it is really impossible to blame the emperor's guards for not having a high sense of crisis. Humans and elves are best friends, in order to help the newly succeeded emperor stabilize the regime, the elves also personally created a special meaning of the "Yixing" ornaments, not to mention, the person who came is even the emperor of the people called him "for me to open up the territory" of the elf king.
All the guards thought that Mordor had made a move, and the King of the Woodlands had come to the Emperor to discuss what to do. Even the killing intent that flashed on the blonde king's face was interpreted by the guards as targeting Oaks. In their opinion, there was a serious military upheaval in the battle of Mordor, otherwise the king of the woodlands would not have broken into the palace alone. With such thoughts, who would dare to stop the commander-in-chief of the encirclement with increasing murderous intent?
Thranduil made it to the front of the council hall without any problems, and rushed straight in. And Valandil's first reaction when he saw him was the same as that of the guards in the palace. The man who had never experienced actual combat stood up and asked urgently, "What happened to Mordor?"
Could it be that the arrival of the human army was too much of a movement for the filthy species to decide to fight to the death? Valandil, who had no idea how many enemies there were in Mordor, broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, and waited for the Elven King's answer with his mouth slightly open. And the Elf King, who was bearing all the gazes, was not flustered at all, and nodded slightly while despising the Human Emperor in his heart.
Under a series of inquiries from the Emperor of the People, Thranduil pretended to be profound, and then bowed his head slightly and said to the Emperor: "The situation is a bit complicated, and it involves military secrets. There are too many people here to talk, so let's go to the secret room and talk. ”
The council hall in Rice City has a secret room with very good sound insulation. Although the human emperor who entered here for the first time did not know the location of the secret room, the elven king, who often came here, was familiar with the advantages and disadvantages of all the secret rooms. The secret room chosen by Thranduil for the emperor is not only soundproofed, but also has to walk a long staircase to reach the innermost part after entering the door.
This is of course designed to prevent the partition wall from having ears. As soon as a creature breaks in, the sound of the door opening and footsteps will be quickly transmitted into the innermost part of the secret room, so that the creature using it can take precautions in the first place. The reason why the Elf King, who was not afraid of the charge of "killing the emperor" at all, chose the secret room was only to make the assassination act foolproof, not to cover up his crime. As for why it should not be done in public?Thranduil has always believed that it is extremely cruel to let humans watch their fellow human beings die. The pain of parting seen with one's own eyes is difficult to heal, and it will also prolong the time for the successor to be recognized by mankind. Now that Merandil has been chosen, he should not be given unnecessary trouble.
The Elf King, who had planned everything, looked at Valandil, who was half a head shorter than him, and waited patiently for a reply.
"You take me to the Chamber of Secrets. "The Emperor of the People, who doesn't know anything, is defenseless, and is full of memories of the Mordor War. Just as he followed the Elf King five steps forward, he saw the door of the secret room carved with the pattern of the Holy White Tree in the distance. The captain of the guard, whose hair was still mixed with chopped leaves, ran in in a mess, not even bothering to salute, and gestured to all the soldiers in the council hall to close the door. Fortunately, he didn't forget to explain to the Emperor while gesticulating: "Emperor, there is chaos in the central square. The Gondor saved Merandiel's family and rushed straight here. ”
When will they not resist the Emperor's orders! The anger that finally subsided rushed straight to his head, and the Emperor was so angry that he flicked his sleeves and shouted: "Five hundred soldiers are not enough for you to control the central square? What do you want? What about the herald? Go to the terrace and blow the horn immediately." Where is the deputy captain of the guard, and all the garrisons in the palace will be temporarily taken over by you until the Saxon general arrives. Inform all the garrisons to guard the entrance to the palace, and any trespassers can be killed directly, without reporting in advance!"
The horn was sounded to inform the Saxons who were still in the war zone to come to support with heavy troops, and to guard the entrance to the palace to delay time and wait for reinforcements. Although there were only a few hundred guards in the palace at the moment, Valandil still didn't think there was much pressure on the palace. When he entered the palace with his guards, he found that there were only a dozen Gondor guards in the palace. In terms of numbers and equipment, the Gondor's guards were no match for the Emperor's personal guards. The Human Emperor felt that as long as he controlled a dozen or so Gondor guards, the Gondor Palace would be worry-free.
Outside the palace, Arnol's soldiers, who had been directly under the emperor's orders for more than 2,000 years, were stationed on the street nearest to the entrance to the palace. They were all soldiers who had gone through the Battle of the Last Alliance with Essidor, and how easy it was to deal with the rioting Gondor people? Even if a few caught fish broke in, the palace guards would be able to deal with the trespassers in time.
It is unforgivable to blatantly disobey my orders! Even if the soldiers in Micheng are enough to restrain all the Gondor, it is necessary to let the Saxons take Arnoel to raise the prestige of our emperor. No, no, I have to give severe punishment to the humans who dare to rebel against me!Otherwise, how can Gondor be successfully governed in the future?
Thinking of this, the captain of the personal guard did not give him any more time to think. As the shouting came from afar, the desperate and frustrated words of the captain of the guard also sounded in the ears of the human emperor. He said, "I'm afraid it's too late...... They've already rushed over. Find a place to avoid it. ”
This means that the human emperor guards in Mi City can't stop the Gondor people at all? Why?
Varandil was still in doubt, and the captain of the guard, who had been reprimanded but remained loyal, began to direct the soldiers to move the heavy furniture in the temple. As the shouting grew from far to near, Valandil saw through the crack in the door that was closing, and the people of Gondor were furiously trying to break in. It was only when the heavy gate was closed by the soldiers, and a lot of heavy objects were lifted, that Valandil came out of the shock. But when he just wanted to regain his composure, the Elf King didn't give him another chance to think.
"Even if you put all the heavy loads on it, you guess it won't last long. The elf king Yingying, who was sneering and wiping her saber, smiled and said hintly: "The Gondor people are in a state of anger, and they are afraid that they will not be able to listen to anything. Why don't I lead the Emperor to the secret room for a while?"
Several officials who were drenched in cold sweat hurriedly echoed and thanked the elf king at the same time. At that moment, a loud trumpet sounded above the council hall. Valandil knew that the sound would last for up to a few minutes, enough for the breeze to blow it into the ears of the Saxons, who were in the war zone.
