"The dwarves have avoided hundreds of years of war, and they have been happy for a hundred years under the protection of the previous dwarven king, and it is normal for them to become what they are now. www.biquge.infoFortunately, after more than a month of training, although I can't absolutely face the war, my obedience to military orders is not weak. Looking thoughtfully out the window, Thranduil seemed to be explaining, but in fact he said to himself: "After half a year, they must reach the realm of absolute obedience to military orders." ”

Fortunately, it was just for them to restrain the army of the Human Emperor. There is no need for a fierce engagement, nor is it for them to conquer Mordor, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Heavy casualties will not happen, and the actions of the Human Emperor Legion can be restricted, and it can also be fully prepared in advance to avoid triggering an armed assault. So what should I do to prepare?

"In terms of war, if you say you can do it, you will definitely be able to do it. With his encouragement, Vernor's eyes became solemn. "There's something I've always wanted to ask you. When he saw Merandil and his wife, he wanted to ask even more. ”

The Elven King, who had been interrupted from his train of thought, nodded, sat upright, and waited for the question with a focused expression. After a few moments, Vernorr slowly walked up to him and said in a very soft voice, "Merandiel is trying to curry favor with you, it doesn't mean that he wants to win over the army that surrounds Mordor to fight against the Emperor of Man, right?"

What could be more attractive to King Gondor, whose royal power could be withdrawn at any moment, and who has enough popular support, than an army close at hand? No qualified king would miss the opportunity to enlist the support of force, let alone Merandiel, which is why King Gondor and his wife would treat the Elven King with courtesy. Vernore thought so, and was worried that the Elven King might really take advantage of this to draw his sword against the Human Emperor. It wasn't what she wanted to see.

"I've been thinking about this since I got here. Thranduil didn't say anything, but threw the question back. "Take a step back, Valandil becomes the true Emperor of Men, and the King of the Woodlands loses his trust, and further, Valandil loses Gondor, and I become the King of His Word. Vernor, if you were me, would you choose to go further or take a step back?"

Losing faith in Middle-earth will indirectly affect all woodland wood elves, and splitting the imperial power that the human emperor deserves will hurt humanity. Vernorr thought about it for a long time, but still had no choice. She opened her mouth several times, but she still couldn't say the words. can only continue to torment between a dilemma. Compared to her, the Elf King was very calm.

He stretched out his hand with a large gemstone ring and pulled the elf, who was completely tormented by his thoughts, to sit down beside him. As he spoke, he kept gently kneading the other's hands through his gloves. Fortunately, considering that he was unable to solve this big problem, and was deeply worried about him, Vernoll only frowned unconsciously, and did not forcibly withdraw his hand.

"It's hard to answer, is it, right? I also learned from this incident that no bloody war is more terrible than a real war. The worst plan of war is to defend justice to the death, but politics is such a thing that will determine the fate of countless living beings in the slightest moment. A decision that would not only put the woodland creatures in danger, but also determine the fate of tens of thousands of Gondor people in the future, how could I not be careless and cautious? ”

Under Vernor's eyes full of amazement, the elven king said without changing his face: "Even if you choose what you choose, you will leave the choice to the human race." It was up to the Gondor people to make a choice. They choose Valandil, and I am willing to become the king of the 'dishonesty' for their choice, and if they choose Merandil, I am willing to use all my strength to defend their choice. Although humans are not of my race, in my eyes the people are as superior to all rulers as the Wood Elves. Even the emperor of the people must make concessions for the sake of the people's choice. What do you think of that?"

"Don't forget that Merandiel's act of winning over the people began after meeting with you. If what if he had not acted genuinely in the last few years, if he had deceived the Gondor people into choosing him with this false pretense, and what if Merandil had ceased to love his people after he had gained power?

"Merendil did not dare to disrespect his people. The calm Elven King stretched out a hand, and while holding the other's shoulder very slowly and gently, he said slowly, "In the past few years, I have managed to get Merandil to communicate with me several times. The truth can be found in the letters written by King Gondor. If Merandil dares to stop loving his people after gaining real power in Gondor, I will publish all his letters at once. ”

"Thrandil, it's amazing. There's no better way to do it!" Vernor's hands began to tremble involuntarily with such excitement that she was a little incoherent with a sense of relief. "The choice of the people is the choice of Iluvita, and you have the handle of Merandiel in your hands, and you are not afraid that he will abandon the Gondor people when he gains power. You...... Mankind...... Even if you are not the king of men, you should indeed respect and submit to their choices. This matter, no matter what the future emperor thinks, no matter what other living beings think, I am firmly on your side. ”

It's enough to have you standing by my side, what do the Emperor and other creatures think of me, and what does it have to do with me?" Raising an eyebrow proudly, Thranduil sat down closer to the creature next to him again, and mocked in a low voice: "That kid who is not yet 20 years old is not weak, and he made Osborne submit to him before he even came to power. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to understand that the people are above all else for the Guardians. He didn't understand the importance of his people, and it seemed that he would eventually lose a game at the hands of the Gondor. You say, should I give him a lesson that is heavy enough to comfort him that he is no longer a human emperor in the true sense of the word?"

A student of the Wise Men?Valandil was enjoying the specific lessons of the best tutor in Middle-earth, was there anything he couldn't learn?Vernor looked at the Elven King hesitantly, then smiled and nodded. No matter how knowledgeable and talented the wise man is, judging from the fact that the elven king gave the choice to the people of the human emperor, Vernor believes that in terms of the way of kings, a good king does understand more thoroughly than a wise man. The Elven King's guidance to Valandil is a good thing for the future Human Emperor.

"How are you going to teach him a lesson?" the little man's appearance flashed through his mind, and Vernor teasingly reminded him, "He may not listen to creatures other than Elrond. As if in his mother's mouth, you are an evil elf king. ”
