290. Each of them is attacking
At this time, Vernorr hoped that Valandil could successfully resolve the crisis before the succession under the teachings of Elrond. After all, this matter is just to teach the future emperor a lesson, not to really want to cause him harm.www.biquge.info Once again, she consoled herself before telling Thranduil what to do.
Even if Valandil did not resolve the crisis, and Gondor's real power eventually fell into the hands of Melandiel, the overall power of the righteous camp remained unaffected. Judging by the fact that Melandiel was taught by Zhong Medi and issued a notice of Essidor's crimes, he would also be an excellent leader in the righteous camp. In the final analysis, the worst result is only that the Emperor of the People loses part of his real power, and the power of the righteous camp has not been weakened.
"I've heard that Valendil had promised Hillana that she would kick the Merandil family out when she took over Gondor......" Vernorr deliberately said this, looking thoughtfully at Thrandier. The latter frowned and began to think, but after a moment, his eyes lit up.
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I'll send a messenger to Gondor and get in touch with Merandiel!" But as soon as he got up from his chair, he was pulled by Vernoer.
"When dealing with the enemy, we must cut down the grass and eradicate the root to prevent future troubles. But humans and elves are faithful friends, and whatever Valandil does to you, he cannot be made an enemy. Let's not forget that during the painful seven-year battle, humanity fought with us. Think of Valandil as a child who has made a mistake and needs to be taught a lesson. As for Gondor's side...... "Turning his head to the Elf King for justice, Vernor said solemnly: "In the struggle for power, making enemies is not the goal, fighting for more allies is the king." It's time to take this opportunity to ease the tension between the Woodland Kingdom and the Danden people. At the very least, the Woodland Kingdom can get Gondor for it. ”
We must not be soft on our enemies or opponents, otherwise there will be endless troubles. The truth of this power struggle has been verified more than 200 years later.
In the year 249 of the Third Age, Valandil's last letter before his death evokes the guilt and self-reproach that has been pent up in Vernor's heart. It can be said that Valandier gave Vernoll the final blow with the iron-clad facts as the content of the denunciation. The Woodland King's advisor, who was already weakening in endless guilt, read the letter, and a bright red welled up from the corners of his mouth. As the crimson blood continued to trickle down the corners of his mouth and onto his chest, the sadness in Vernor's heart reached its limit. If nothing else, she will soon die of grief and wander to the Temple of Mandus as a ghost.
Of course. That's all for later. In addition to the truth of power struggle, which must not be soft on the enemy, the teachings of winning allies have benefited the Elven King for thousands of years. It also restored the forest, which had been known as the Dark Forest for more than a thousand years, to the state of the Great Green Forest with the help of allies.

Thinking of the promise that at least one of the elven kingdoms would help Merandiel. Vernorr hardened his heart.
Any creature who is well versed in the struggle for power, once thrown into the invisible struggle, must put his own interests first. Therefore, even though he had the intention of helping Merandiel, Vernorr still chose the best way for the Woodland Kingdom.
"The struggle for rights is the most taboo and frivolous. In this matter, Merandiel's situation is even more difficult. You have at least the support of the entire woodland, and once Merandiel is removed from Gondor's control, he has nothing. Therefore, he needs to undo the harm that the future human emperor may cause to him more urgently than you do. Subconsciously looking at Gondor's way, Vernorr whispered, "Don't let Merandil detect your eagerness, so that you can better hide in the shadows and control the overall situation." ”
Anyway, no matter how you make excuses, you have to do something bad. No matter how small the evil is, it is also evil. Even if you can't change the fact of evil, you can simply do it thoroughly. Suppressing the sense of self-blame in her heart, she subconsciously clicked on the location of Gondor on the map. "Think of another way to get in touch with Merandil secretly. At least don't let Arnol's side find out. ”
"Secret contact Merandiel?" Thranduil was a little annoyed.
It is not easy for two kings to meet without being discovered by other creatures. The Elven King felt that this matter was so important that he had to talk to each other in person. Is there any way to communicate with Merandil in person, and still achieve the purpose of hiding people's eyes? As he frowned and unconsciously strafed the map, his gaze finally fell on the area of Long River Town.
If I'm not mistaken, it seems that the mercenaries in Long River Town were recommended by Zirjan and a small army from Gondor's side?
"I should go to Gondor and find out what's going on there. You can also visit the eldest son of Zhong Medi to find out Merandiel's true attitude towards the future human emperor. Wait until I have the exact news before acting. Vernor's voice interrupted his train of thought, and it succeeded in deepening the Elven King's disgust with the power struggle.
We will be separated again! I don't know how long it will take. Every time you are separated, even if it is only for a short time, it can always make the relationship that you have managed to get closer to become bad. Compared to the humiliation that Hillana had given herself, Thrandir could not bear to be separated from Vernor again. He blurted out, "If this is going to make you go to Gondor, forget it." I deserved to be bitten by a dog. ”
Anyway, a creature like Helana, even if she really gets the identity of the "Mother of the Human Emperor", she can't get the recognition of all living beings. Anyway, the human kingdom really sent troops to the woodland, and I didn't have no way to deal with it.
"Thrandil, you can be treated as if you were bitten by a dog. But the Elven King cannot. Knowing that it would not be easy to get him to accept the fact of separation, Vernor had no choice but to hold his hand. "If a king breaks his trust, his country and his people will be despised. The allies of this country will also doubt your strength and will no longer trust any of your promises. And losing faith in the creature that does not respect you will make the other party think that you are not strong enough to fear him, which will lead to unimaginable disasters. Even if she had already made a promise in front of Helana, how could she leave her with the image that the Elven King's words didn't count?"
Vernorr knew that if the country and its people were involved, Thrandil, who had the aura of an elven king on his head, would compromise no matter how reluctant he was. This time, he had only to compromise. In order to alleviate the tormented look on the Elven King's face, she added another layer of meaning to her act of going to Gondor.
