At that time, it was already dark at night. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 But all the elves on the card clearly saw that a huge army was neatly walking towards the woodland kingdom. Like the Elven King's security card, all the soldiers on the southern defense card clenched their bows and arrows, closely watching the approaching troops who could not yet see whether they were friends or foes. Compared to them, the Elven King seemed extremely calm. He even held a glass of wine and leaned against the fence and watched quietly.

Such a large and unified force could not have been an enemy of the woodlands. Now in the vicinity of all the areas where the enemy is hiding in Middle-earth, there are spies laid by the Elven King. If the army in front of him had come from the enemy area, the Elven King would have received the news long ago. Of course, if Sauron returns and has the strength to instantly appear on the edge of the woodland border with thousands of soldiers, the few soldiers stationed on the southern border will not be able to fight against it. There is no point in panicking, but it is better to face it calmly.

With this in mind, Thranduil slowly tasted the red wine. Until he saw from afar that all the troops walking towards him were all the elves of the forest, he still didn't drink all the wine in his cup.

Galadriel insisted on providing military help, and the Elven King held his glass and pondered how to reject the Horin army that had come into his sights. Fortunately, at the behest of Hardir, the Collin army that came to reinforce stopped at a distance from Fangka, and did not come straight to Fangka. And the soldiers stationed on the defense card did not dare to take the initiative to break the gate because the elf king had not yet spoken.

There's nothing wrong with the Woodland Kingdom always keeping its doors open to allies, but a large regular army should first get the king's approval to enter any country with weapons. This kind of public order was clear to every soldier of the Forest, and even more so to Hardir who came with reinforcements. Although Hardir had countless ways to lead troops into the country without the permission of the Elf King, seeing that the Elf King was standing on the defense card, out of the most basic respect, Hardir gave the order to stop advancing. He himself walked out of the group and walked in the direction of the Elven King.

"Hardir, if I'm not mistaken, you only returned to the forest last month to recuperate. Glancing with satisfaction at the soldiers who had not opened the anti-jam gate without permission, Thranduil stood on the top floor of the high anti-jam and said to Hardir: "Why did you come back so soon?"

"Your Majesty, in the name of Prince Kellerpeng and his wife, I have come with five thousand soldiers to reinforce the defense. Seeing that the Elven King had no intention of opening the anti-jamming door at all, Hardir gave a more respectful salute. "Before leaving, our wife explained that this trip was only for the woodland. ”

Even if it's just a defensive boost, Thranduil doesn't want to accept it. The thought of winning the praise of the whole clan by hiding from the world and the sea made Thranduil's face feel a little hot, let alone accept actual help from his own clan.

Thurandier, you have gone too far in this move! You have deceived all living beings, and if you still accept the actual help offered by the deceived, are you still an elf? No matter how unkind an elf is, you can't do such a thing! You must refuse the help of the Sulin, you must refuse all the help!

With that in mind, Thrandir smiled at Hardir. "You came here lightly, do you still have rations?"

Hardir was a little stunned. The elven king treats the soldiers very well, and according to his usual practice, he should prepare a rich enough dinner and the warmest bed for the soldiers who come from afar, so that the soldiers who are running all the way can get the best rest. How this time?

Although he was puzzled, Hardir replied with a straight face: "I came here lightly and quickly, and I relied on rations all the way to satisfy my hunger." However, each soldier brought enough rations before departure. The remaining rations on each soldier were enough to cope for another three days. ”

After receiving the answer, the Elven King smiled heartily and waved his hand at Hardir. "Three days is enough for you to return to the forest. I thanked Galadriel on my behalf, but as for the reinforcement, I refused to accept it. Although the forest is much smaller than the woodland, it still needs to guard the border. Madame has already given nearly 10,000 soldiers to support the woodland, and if you soldiers are also transferred to me, what will happen to the defense of the forest? ”

No wonder before the trip, Prince Kellerpeng reminded Madame to think of a reason why you have no way to refuse. Haldir opened his mouth, and was just about to say what Galadriel had to say, when he saw the soldiers of the Horin gathered around the Elven King, and dispelled this idea.

Thranduil was a king, and Galadriel was just the lord's wife. In front of ordinary soldiers, conveying that the lady posed as an elder would be a loss of face for the elf king, and it would not be good for the reputation of the lady. Hardir decided that it would be safer to convey it privately, so he simply explained to the Elven King: "The defense of the Zarin does not require soldiers to be stationed at a fixed point - our lady can sense any change in the Jarin with magic. As soon as an alien creature enters, the lady can know immediately. You don't have to worry about the reinforcements of the soldiers that will lower the defense of the Sholin. ”

The Elven King suppressed the envy in his heart, and pretended to be slightly embarrassed and shouted to Haldier, "In short, I refuse to accept reinforcements from the soldiers. You go back with the soldiers immediately!" He also said to the soldiers beside him: "Pass my order, don't open the gate of the checkpoint and let them in." ”

Olophon, the captain of the Ringing Guard, who was in charge of national defense within the boundaries of the woodland, had just heard the news and had just listened to the Elven King's words word for word. However, Olophon was not at all distressed by the fact that he could not let his brother enter the country. He walked over to the Elven King and bowed his head to receive the order. Raising his head, Olophon quickly winked at Haldier, who gave him a meaningful smile in return.

Next, Eulopin first proposed that the soldiers of the Horin outside the border rest in place in order to distribute the fresh food left in the defense card to them, and the elven king naturally agreed. But after Haldir gave the order to "rest in place", the whole scene was completely out of control.

With the sound of "brother", all the soldiers around the elf king dropped their weapons and walked to the edge of the anti-jamming under the call of "ADA", "uncle" and "brother". They spoke to their relatives below through the stone fence, and the words of concern rang in Thrandil's ear.

Not only that, many of the soldiers who were outside the national border rushed to other defense cards. The Elven King is sure that such a scene of relatives visiting each other across the fence will soon be staged in all the anti-jams. Even the usually steady Olophon crouched by the fence and whispered to his brother Haldir about the road.
