Essidor, who hadn't eaten anything after a long day's journey, grinned, muttering to himself, "Thranduil didn't come at the Black Gate, and if he really comes, you dare to say that in front of him?" Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, there will still be creatures who will come out to speak up for justice in the one-sided condemnation. Gilgalad, the supreme king, who felt bad since he received the gambling letter sent by his son, stood up. While lamenting that the war was too smooth for the creatures to eat and support, he said in a very majestic voice: "Everyone, please pay attention! The number of enemies in the Black Gate is 500,000, and the Woodland Kingdom only has 30,000 soldiers, even if you add the number of soldiers we have sent for reinforcements, it is only 60,000 people. With 60,000 enemies and 500,000, the Battle of the Black Gate can survive to this day, and in the end, the alliance cannot be done by Thurandiel. ”

This is a fact, and no living creature dares to object. As one of the two initiators of the "Last Alliance", King Elendir of Arnoll could not sit still. He was a little surprised that the High King Gilgalad had not grasped the point of the war, and was about to point out the key issues, when Essidor had just eaten his last bite of food and gave him a "I'll do it ugly" look.

If the Sival Elves are the simplest creatures, then humans are the least pure creatures in Middle-earth. The longevity of human beings determines that their world will have a change of royal family and a reversal of power in a few decades. Humans who have grown up in the turmoil of the royal family change may end their short life prematurely if they do not give up their simplicity in exchange for wisdom. Esidor knew the beauty of power decades ago when the throne changed, and he abandoned it and chose it alone, playing a crucial role in what Essidor did in the fight for his father's throne. His efforts earned him a position in the kingdom of Arnoir, though not king, but better than king. This is unknown to the last allies.

The uncrowned king of the Arnor kingdom opened his mouth, and the entire camp fell silent. He decided the fate of the woodland army in a very calm tone.

"As the High King said, King Thranduil fought against the Battle of the Black Gate despite the disparity in strength. But the fact is that the battle of the Black Gate is still going on, and it is impossible to decide whether it will succeed or fail. Personally, I am glad that the Elven race has produced another great king, but I have to worry about the dilemma facing Ballard's siege strategy. ”

Essidor walked over to the large map hanging and pointed his finger at three locations. "Ballard's encirclement strategy is great, but it's definitely not something that can be done by one faction alone. As everyone here knows, we must drive all three enemies on the battlefield to Ballard at the same time to be the ultimate victory. The stagnation of progress on any battlefield is dragging down the others. The situation now is that the two major battlefields of Death Marsh and Dagoras Plains, which are in our hands, can complete the encirclement at any time, and the battlefield in charge of King Thranduil has made no progress, and has taken some of our forces with us. The Black Gate was taken by King Thranduil on his own initiative, and he had to take it for the siege of Ballard. Even if it seems like an impossible task. ”

"60,000 against 500,000, it does sound like an impossible task. Esidó's eldest son, young Ellandur, wiped the food scraps from the corners of his mouth and said thoughtfully, "Perhaps we should give him more time?

Ellandur managed to get a "stupid" look from Essidor.

"You must not have looked closely at the map, Ilandur. In the presence of all living beings, Essidor had to suppress his disappointment in his son, and said in as calm a tone as possible: "If the Black Gate cannot drive the enemy to Ballard at the same time as us, will we not be the ones who have surrounded the enemy to Ballard first?" The 'Siege Ballard Strategy' has become a dead letter. If I'm not mistaken, it seems that the 'Siege of Balad' was proposed by the Elven King, whose name is only two words different from that of my son Ellandur?"

In the last sentence, he asked the High King.

High King Gilgalad nodded. As Essidor began to speak, he was recalling every word of the gambling letter so that he could find a loophole to help his son win the game. Luckily, he found the key to the game - within 10 days.

"Dear Grand Prince of Arnol, Essidor, I praise you for your opinion! He stood up calmly and said in an unquestioning tone, "I will personally go to the Black Gate to meet Thranduil and ask him to complete the Battle of the Black Gate next month, otherwise all the Noldor elven reinforcements will retreat." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Anarion, the leader of the Nomenor army, jumped to his feet. "Next month? You're not kidding, are you? ”

Haldier, the leader of the Lorin Elves, who has always disliked to talk much, also opened his mouth and said, "The elves on Lorrain's side haven't eaten a full meal for 3 days. ”

King Elendil of Arnol knew it was time for him to take his stand. He walked up to the High King and patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said in a posture that seemed extremely painful to cover his chest: "I can understand your heart to protect the elven race, but noble High King, your Noldor army has not known the taste of meat for a few days, right? Perhaps, in the eyes of King Thranduil, this is another opportunity for him to make a name for himself?"

Elendil paced to the large desk in the middle of the tent, and pressed her hands heavily on the blank letter, and made a final decision. "Ten days, and after ten days all the enemy must be driven to Balard. If something goes wrong on the Black Gate side and the final alliance is lost, the king of the woodlands must take all the responsibility. ”

"Wouldn't that be too cruel?" said Essidor, who was full of wisdom and a master of politics, stroked his beard and whispered to Elendil, "You don't have to be too straightforward to communicate with the great Elven King. Only that the last alliance asked him to tear down the orc walls in five days. Well, the woodland kingdom, which doesn't even have a barrier, will either drive the enemy to Ballard in the next five days, or the Great Green Forest will no longer exist. In addition, privately inform our reinforcements in the Black Gate, and act when the opportunity arises. ”
