256. Take into account the overall situation
"Even if Thranduil doesn't communicate with me in this matter and doesn't send an envoy to the Linton Kingdom to pay a visit, I will support the Woodland Kingdom. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info So, you don't need to return the wooden card in exchange for my or Linton's support. Subconsciously looking out the window, Sedan's expression became solemn. "Of course, my attitude is the attitude of the Kingdom of Linton. This matter is no longer a matter of the woodlands as a country, or as an elven race. There is a solidarity in the camp of justice at stake, and I will not allow any dissenting opinion from Linton officials. β
When he learned of the disaster on the Plains of Gratton, Serdan knew he had no choice. Both from the factual point of view and from the perspective of the righteous camp, he must get the Kingdom of Linton to show its support for the woodlands. As he expected, Galadriel felt the same way as he did. Why such a decision was made, the reasons are complex.
Glorfindel's prophecy has been confirmed, and his reference to "the return of the Lord of the Rings, Sauron", will also take place. After the Battle of the Last Alliance, the righteous camp suffered heavy losses and weakened a lot. All of Sauron's time and energy must be devoted to recuperation and recuperation to increase his strength during the time that Sauron has not yet returned. What is the difference between not taking the opportunity to increase combat effectiveness, but instead starting an internal war to consume the already greatly damaged strength, and giving victory to Sauron for nothing?
Even if Sauron would reappear many years later, there would still be time to recuperate after the war, and the internal war would inevitably bring the remnants of Sauron. They will take the opportunity to invade the races or countries that have not participated in the war one by one when humans and elves are unable to separate, and even if the creatures of the woodland kingdom are not the same race, Serdan and Galadriel will not allow the allies to cause war at this time. Therefore, Serdan and Galadriel's decision is not a personal affair, and no matter who the king of the woodland is, it will not affect their decision.
Of course, the decision will not change, but the approach to implementation will be adjusted according to the facts. Considering that the people of the woodland are also elves, after discussing with Galadriel, Serdan still chose to use the attitude of "supporting the woodland" to convey the message to the human kingdom that "challenging the woodland is challenging the entire elven race", so as to put pressure on the human race to remain calm and rational in the face of the disaster in the plains.
No creature knows better than Serdan how terrible infighting can be.
War must not be waged unless absolutely necessary, and civil strife must not be fought in the camp of justice! This is the common proposition of Serdan and Galadriel. Whether or not the woodland sends creatures to visit will not affect this decision. It was not all meaningless for the Elven King to solemnly let Vernor come on his behalf. At least Serdan and Galadriel were relieved that Thranduil valued them.
"The unity of the righteous camp?" said Vernoir with a self-deprecating smile and embarrassment, "I am as naΓ―ve as a child in front of you and Madame Galadriel. I only saw the possible disasters in the woodland, but I didn't see the higher level, which was not as long-term as the two of them. β
"You're also concerned about chaos. He is a creature with a conscience, and he can't bear to watch his compatriots being drawn into the war on false charges. Taking out the written letter and waving it, Serdan said with a relaxed expression: "Let me guess, your next stop should be the kingdom of Gondor, right? Melandil has not been on the throne for a long time, and he has never experienced war, so it is difficult to appreciate what war will bring to Gondor, and it is difficult to see the level of the righteous camp. You take this letter I wrote to find Medi, the national teacher of Gondor. β
The letter written by Serdan himself was originally intended to be addressed directly to Nakamadi. Considering that Vernoll was strict and that he would not be relieved not to see Zhong Medi express his position with his own eyes, Serdan handed the letter to her personally.
The female elf in front of her was shocked for a moment, and then stretched out her hands to hold the letter very solemnly. Finding that her eyes were full of gratitude, Serdan simply did good deeds to the end.
"King Melendiel of Gondor has been taught by Medi since he was a child, and he is a righteous politician who will make Melandil make decisions from the perspective of the big picture. As for the Arnor Kingdom, before the successor is determined, the Arnorian officials must also take into account the attitude of the Gondor Kingdom in terms of state affairs and the selection of the successor, so Merandiel's opinion will also have a certain influence. After determining his successor, Arnol needed to use the power of Gondor to smoothly navigate the turbulent time of the throne change in a short period of time. Therefore, if Zhong Medi can affect Merandiel, he can naturally also affect Arnol. In this way, no living beings in Middle-earth will dare to blame the cause of the destruction of the human royal family on joint military exercises, there will be no internal strife in the righteous camp, and the woodland kingdom will not have to worry about worry, and you will not have to ride alone in the dangerous territory where evil may return at any time. β
It seems that a better arrangement must be made, otherwise it will not be so easy for her to personally deliver the letter to Zhong Medi, who lives in seclusion? Sedan, who was in thought, did not notice that Vernor's eyes were already red after receiving the letter.
"You...... I know that verbal thanks are an insult to your great deeds, but I want to say thank you. The choked Vernoll squatted down on Sedan's refusal to get up, looked down and thought for a while, and then finally raised his head and asked, "You must know how terrible the infamy this letter is likely to bear on you." β
If humanity is unable to remain rational in dealing with the disaster on the Plains of Glaton, and if it is necessary to think that the joint military exercises have caused the destruction of the human royal family, all of Serdan's actions and letters will become ironclad evidence that mankind is attacking him.
Despite the truth of Serdan's words, and despite the unity of the righteous camp above all else, irrational humans will still resent Serdan's support for the Woodland Kingdom. They will resent Serdan for not supporting themselves, and they will turn this resentment into a deliberate discourse that will be recorded in human history or passed down from generation to generation.
King Sedan, whom he respected so much, could not bear to take such a risk for the sake of the Woodland Kingdom.
"The risk is very high, and if you don't do it well, you may be forever burdened with the infamy that humans have created for me. However, for the sake of the unity of the righteous camp, for the sake of the forces of justice to recuperate in a short period of time, it is worth the risk. After a moment's hesitation, Serdan reached out and patted her on the shoulder very lightly as a sign of comfort. "Don't cry, it's not for you, it's not for the woodland, it's not for the elven race, it's for the righteous camp. You don't need to feel sorry for me, I am honored to be able to use my own efforts to protect the righteous camp. Even if the risk were to materialize, and I was portrayed as a cronyistic evil creature, I would never regret it. β
