Four hundred and twenty-two, a lone husband and a thief
"The leader and his family must be put to death, and the other participants decide whether or not to implicate their family members," Valandil said. For thousands www.biquge.info of years, the human emperor has never been impacted by the people in front of him, and he must use the lesson of blood to make these humble people understand that the emperor's majesty cannot be provoked, and the emperor's orders cannot be disobeyed!"
"You...... Are you really not going to think about the feelings of the Gondor?"
Before he started, Thranduil quietly looked at Valandil for a long time and thought a lot. In order not to let the wise man's teachings of the past eight years come to naught, he gave the emperor another chance -- to use suggestive words as the final confirmation. As he asked, there was already a small sound in the empty chamber, and Thranduil suspected that the door was being provoked with a tool.
If you delay any longer, there will be no chance. Elves and humans are best friends, and while killing the Human Emperor won't cause me much trouble, as an elf, it's best not to kill your friends in front of other creatures. Thranduil, who had already grasped the hilt of his sword, did not have much hope for the Human Emperor, and the latter's answer confirmed that the Elven King's preparation for no hope was correct.
"Imperial power is better than everything, and the people cannot shake the unity of imperial power. Valandil, who was not proficient in combat, did not detect the elven king's killing intent, but sneered and replied, "As a king, you can't understand the importance of the unity of imperial power. I am the emperor of the whole human race. There are more than 100,000 human beings, and everyone has a different idea, can I worry about it? Besides, what the Gondor people want is something that an emperor can't accept. Since the existence of the emperor, the imperial power has been able to rule over all human beings. The Gondor people wanted nothing more than to get rid of the emperor's rule. How could I possibly accept this idea that is not legal, unreasonable, and completely unprecedented?"
So you must step on the corpse of a human to stabilize your imperial power?
"Ask Vera if there is any value in the rights that need to be maintained by killing civilians. Thranduil's wrist moved, and Valandil didn't even see his movements, and the sharp blade was already against the center of his neck. At the same time, both men and spirits heard the sound of the door of the secret room being opened. As the sound of flustered but light footsteps sounded, another dull sound of the door closing reached their ears.
The moment he heard the voice, the completely restrained human emperor felt worse. He was afraid that the Elven King, who could end his life with a single force, would immediately take action and deal with himself before the intrusive creatures arrived, so that the crime of killing the Emperor would not be seen by a third party. But the truth is that instead of making a move immediately, the Elf King moved his blade out of the way.
Varendil was overjoyed, and even his face showed a little smugness. He took it for granted that even if the intruder couldn't save himself, it would make the Elf King jealous and dare not continue to kill the emperor.
The Elven King will not dare to kill me! Humans and elves are best friends, and the whole elf clan will not forgive him for the crime of killing the human emperor. Don't say it's killing me, even if it's just a small injury, Elrond and Serdan won't let him go lightly. The current military strength of the Woodland Kingdom is not strong, and it cannot afford to be accused of killing the emperor. It has been eighteen years since Thranduil became king. As a creature on the throne, it is impossible for him not to know what terrible the consequences of hurting me will be.
Such a thought and a distant blade calmed the human emperor. He didn't call for help, he didn't struggle anymore, he just looked directly at the Elf King with a light smile. Unexpectedly, the blonde king actually smiled sideways, his smile was full of contempt and disdain.
"Do you think that someone will save you, or do you think I wouldn't dare kill you in front of a human?" Hearing only one intruder from the footsteps, Thranduil raised an eyebrow indifferently and lowered her voice to mock, "Your naivety makes me laugh. The visitor is just a human who has come in and avoided him out of timidity, and his arrival should be even more painful. Being able to hide here means that the situation outside is out of control. It also means that although the comer is commanded by you, he has no loyalty to you. ”
Valandil knew what he meant.
There is only one intruder, and it will never be those officials who are loyal to themselves. If the situation outside is already under control, the officials will naturally come down and ask themselves to go out. Only one human entered, and he didn't forget to close the door in a panic, what other reason could there be than to avoid danger?Who in the council hall needed to avoid danger? Of course, the number was not much lower, and even the Arnors who could only stop the people of Gondor from rushing into the council hall could only block the door with heavy furniture!
And the Emperor of the People was very appreciative of Thrandeil's description of the intruder as "utterly ineffective and loyal." In the council hall that has been broken into by the Gondor people, all the loyal Arnors are still maneuvering, trying to do everything they can to protect the face of the emperor. Choosing to enter the secret room to hide in such a grim situation is naturally completely ineffective and loyal to protect himself. It is indeed impossible for such a person to save me from the hands of the Elven King.
Then his arrival will at least make the Elf King jealous!
The cold sweat on his forehead had increased another layer of Valandil, and he plucked up his courage, paying close attention to the movement of the tip of the knife and at the same time let out a dull reprimand: "Thrandil, I am the Emperor of Men!"
"Are you reminding me to think about the consequences, especially if there are witnesses on the horizon?" the sneering Thranduil tugged so hard that the Emperor could go straight in the direction of the steps in front of him. "To show you how stupid you are, I will end your life in front of the comer. The reason why I did this is to tell you that not only did I kill you, but I dared to do so in front of humanity. Do you know why? Because your death at my hands doesn't cause me any trouble. An emperor who tramples on the corpses of his people to maintain his power, what trouble do you think will cause me?"
Thrandil, who didn't care who it was, stood opposite the Emperor of Men in order to better restrain the target. This made him turn his back to the steps, and he couldn't see who was coming. As soon as the words fell, when the footsteps reached not far behind him, he saw the face of the human emperor showing a puzzled but defeated look. And the keen sense of battle made Thranduil realize that the comer was stunned for a moment and then hurried towards him.
His long-standing instincts for battle have allowed him to move faster than he thinks. In order not to let the human emperor out of his control, and at the same time to defend against the creatures behind him that might attack him, the elven king did not use his hands. He pulled the human emperor around, and raised his leg to kick the other party. Although it was detected that the intruder was most likely only reaching out and trying to grab his arm, it would not pose much of a threat. Thranduil, who wanted to subdue the other party as soon as possible to avoid trouble, still used all his strength.
