Three hundred and thirteen, it is difficult to go to heaven
How could the Elven King call on non-Elven soldiers?Merandiel was stunned by this hypothesis, and began to wonder whether to ask the question he most wanted to be answered. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Why do you want to get an answer but don't dare to ask, because once this question is said, it may make the Elf King feel that he is doubting his strength. At this time, Merandil was a little more afraid of the Elven King, and he was afraid of causing any displeasure from the other party. And in his opinion, the methods and abilities of the Elven King are easier than pouring a glass of red wine to teach the creatures he hates. Even if he is a king himself, he may not have the strength to block the attacks of the Elf King.
To ask or not to ask? After thinking about it for a while, Merandil made the decision to take the risk of asking questions. After all, this issue is too important, and it is also a difficult problem that will inevitably be encountered in the implementation of armed support.
Holding back the apprehension in his heart, Merandil softly asked a difficult problem that could not be solved in his heart: "If you want to fight against an army of 30,000 people, you must have at least 10,000 soldiers who are skilled in battle." With such a large number of soldiers, as long as they leave their country, they will immediately be known to all the creatures of Middle-earth. Suffice it to say, your army simply won't get to Gondor. ”
What Melendiel is saying is the truth.
The creatures living in Middle-earth, no matter how powerful they are, cannot possess the magic of teleportation. The tens of thousands of legions could not teleport to Gondor, and could only advance towards their destination in a mighty form. However, any army with tens of thousands of troops, once it leaves the territory of its own country, it will inevitably be known by other countries, which will arouse the alarm of all the kings of Middle-earth. Merandil was certain that, given the speed of the army's advance, the Elven King would return home before he reached Gondor. Otherwise, he will have to face the obstruction of the Emperor of Men and all the leaders of the righteous camp.
Why did the leader of the righteous camp stop the Elven King from moving forward? The reason is that the Elven King is not like the Human Emperor, and has a reasonable reason to send troops.
Valandiel's march to Gondor can be said to be a troop transfer between the two countries, and even if the Middle-earth creatures find out that he has the intention of moving troops against Gondor, the Emperor can use "intra-racial incidents" or "take back the inheritance left by his ancestors" to deal with all the creatures who raise doubts. And the Elven King not only had no reasonable reason to send troops, but also could not hide the true purpose of sending troops to Gondor.
From the time the soldiers left their own country, each king would ask the elf king to give a reason for leading the troops abroad, and at the same time secretly spy on the elf king's true purpose of sending troops. If the Elven King's army had been acting after the Emperor's army had begun to go to Gondor, it would not be long before the Elven King had never reached Gondor, and the wise beings would have discovered that the Elven King's army was sent to fight against the Emperor. They will also know that the Elven King's ultimate goal is Gondor. Combined with the movements of the Human Emperor's army, it is not difficult to guess the true purpose of the Elf King, either to attack the Human Emperor or to attack Gondor.
Discover that the real purpose of the Elven King's army is to target the human race, what will the leaders of the righteous camp of Middle-earth do? What will the other races do Merandil is not sure, but the upright elven race will definitely not allow the Elf King to point his sword at the humans! At that time, the other elven king, Serdan, and the elf Galadriel, who is actually in power in Silin, will stand up and demand that King Thranduil immediately return home with his troops. Even if King Thranduil is willing to continue his march under the pressure of the whole clan, even if the soldiers who follow him are loyal enough to disobey the demands of the righteous camp, the entire legion will be stopped by the combined forces of the Human Emperor and the Elven race.
In short, the plan to lead the army to support Gondor will only fail unless the king of Thranduil in front of him has the magic to move the legion to Gondor in an instant. However, Merandiel learned that the King of the Woodlands had no powerful magic at all. Thranduil also insinuated in several letters that he had not been helped by magic. Could it be that he had another solution?
The answer that Merandil could not find was equally unanswerable to Thranduil at this time. In order not to let the other party realize that he was not sure for the time being, he replied in response to the question: "Valandil may not send all the Arnoel soldiers to Gondor. At the very least, he will not take out the country the soldiers who are responsible for Arnol's defense security. So to fight against the Human Emperor, maybe you don't need too many soldiers. As for whether or not you can lead your troops to Gondor without any problems, you don't have to worry about that. I have my own way. ”
Seeing that Merandil wanted to continue asking questions, the Elven King found a perfect excuse.
"Merandiel, I'm sorry that this conversation can only be here for the time being. I was about to take the children to claim their saplings, and I didn't have time to go into detail about the complicated arrangements for the matter. We shouldn't talk for too long, after all, I'm the only woodland elf who knows your true identity. The squire who brought you here didn't know you were King Gondor. ”
Making the smile look confident, the Elven King turned sideways to meet Merandil. Even when he was talking about things that he wasn't sure about for the time being, his eyes were still firm.
"You should not stay in the woodland for too long, lest your whereabouts be exposed. Take a break and return to your home immediately. Believe me, what you are worried about is not a problem at all in my opinion. The next time you see me, it won't be long before you see an army strong enough to fight against the Human Emperor arrive in your realm. ”
Melandiel was a little unwilling. Six years of contact with letters had convinced him that if the Elven King said that there was a way, there must be a way. But King Gondor was eager to know about the Elven King's brilliant plan in advance, so as to dispel his inner apprehension. It's a pity that the Elf King has already said this, and if he asks again, it really seems that he has no trust in him at all. King Gondor, dressed in disguise, had no choice but to respectfully make a farewell salute, and after once again showing that he had no doubt about the elven king's wisdom, he suppressed his curiosity and turned away.
It wasn't until Merandiel's back completely disappeared from his sight that Thranduil poured himself a glass of wine with a not-so-gentle movement. If it was six years old Thranduil, I was afraid that this bad mood would make him so angry that he broke his wine glass!
The bad mood of course stemmed from the failure to find a way to lead the troops to Gondor smoothly.
The life of the past six years has been generally pleasant for Thranduil. With Vernore by his side, the Woodland Kingdom can usher in new life almost every day. Despite the fact that the birth of a new elf would bring more or less trouble, and even he himself had to occasionally take care of the children who had lost their parents, and the king's scepter became a plaything for the children, Thranduil still felt happy. The problem of supporting Gondor has been a thorn in Thrandil's heart because no solution has been found. As the time of succession to the throne approached, the pain caused by this thorn became more and more serious.
