At that time, the tarnish clothes of Merandil were ashamed, and after bowing three times in the direction of Arnol, she entered the palace, where she had not set foot for several months, and demanded that the officials of Gondor begin the transfer of state affairs. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 But it wasn't long before the Arnold officials were invited to the council hall when they heard the news that Merandil had left with his family.

The emperor was right. I've been guarding Gondor for eight years, but I can't even get the officials to do such a small thing. I am ashamed of the emperor and my ancestors, and I have no shame to stay here any longer. This was the reason why Melandil left with her family.

This succeeded in infuriating the Gondor officials. In their eyes, all this was their own doing, and had nothing to do with King Gondor. And Merandiel's departure confirmed the rumors that the Emperor wanted to expel King Gondor's entire family. When most of the officials crawled forward to stop King Gondor, the Arnoel officials who remained in the council hall had a bad premonition. Sure enough, it didn't take long for a Gondor civilian to force his way into the council hall.

Despite the presence of experienced captains of the guard outside the council hall and a few officials in the hall who did not leave, the angry Gondor men rushed in unscathed. Thankfully, the Gondor didn't do too much to the elderly officials, just not very politely kicked them out of Rice City.

"Gondor does not welcome those who oppress our king. A human who could be identified as an artisan in his attire said to them, "The Gondor people hate bullying the weak. Tell the emperor not to think that our king has a good heart, so he can be bullied unscrupulously. ”

Considering that going back in this way would inevitably provoke the human emperor, and that humanity might also trigger a civil war, the Arnoel officials did not dare to go back. They temporarily resided in the war zone under the jurisdiction of the Elven King, and began to think about how to persuade the Emperor to slow down the reclaim of Gondor. In fact, if they had any intention of returning to Arnoor, the Elven King wouldn't let them leave. He would take the initiative to send soldiers and invite the officials to the camp for a while. Just like he did with the whole Merandil family.

"King Gondor is gone, what about our military quartermasters?" Thranduil "reluctantly" stopped Merandil with a horned deer. "You'd better live in the war zone first. Whatever happens, it can't affect the war against evil. When Gondor has a new king in charge of the war, it's not too late for you to leave. ”

Merandiel's family was left in the war zone by the Elven King as an excuse. At that time, Arnold officials also took the initiative to ask to enter the camp for temporary shelter. Although King Gondor was begged to return by the officials who arrived within a few days, just a few days were enough for him to communicate with the Elven King.

When the Arnold officials borrowed the dwarven king's palace to discuss how to tell the emperor the truth about Gondor in order to keep the emperor from being angered in as tactful a tone as possible, Thranduil wrote a letter to Valandil with his left hand. Looking at the completely unfamiliar font, the Elven King smiled and handed it to Merandiel. It wasn't until they watched the jackdaw with the letter tied up fly to the north that the two kings withdrew their eyes and raised their glasses.

It may only take a day for the Emperor to see that he has absolutely no idea who wrote the secret letter. The writer speaks respectfully, succinctly and directly about what happened to the Arnol officials at Gondor. Thranduil was sure, let alone the young human emperor, if he was any king, he would be furious to learn that there was no progress in the seizure of power, and even the officials sent to him had been driven out. Next, just wait for the arrival of the Emperor's army.

As long as the Human Emperor makes a move against his compatriots first, he will lose the hearts of the entire righteous camp, and he will also be completely classified as a murderous king in the hearts of the Gondor people, and then the Elf King will have a reason to fight back against the Human Emperor's army. Could it be that human beings are destined to meet each other?

Unable to bear it, Merandil pinched his wine glass and thought about it again and again, and finally had the courage to make a plea to the Elven King to avoid fighting. This time, the Elven King agreed with great readiness as he had promised to give military support two years ago.

"I promise you that I will never fight until I have to. Just do what you have to do. Having refilled a glass of wine for King Gondor, who was going to take the lead next, Thranduil said in a calm voice, "Don't forget. The more sympathetic you are in the eyes of the people, the more murderous the emperor becomes. ”

So, I am destined to not escape the fate of the codification?Merandil responded with a smile that was uglier than crying, and the Elven King could see that he couldn't bear it.

In the next 100 years, mankind may not be able to find a king who values compatriot love more than Merandiel. The Elven King, who no longer wanted to see any relatives slaughtered, turned cold and shouted at King Gondor, "This matter has been carried out so far, and all the Gondor people have participated. You don't think that the Emperor of Men who has challenged his rights will let the others go by punishing you, do you?Melandiel, don't forget how your cousin treats the Gondor when he is confirmed to be the Human Empress. At his behest or by his acquiescence, the humans of Gondor have never had a better life than the humans of Arnoor. ”

Seeing that Merandil still had an anxious expression, the Elf King sneered and said, "Now, to protect yourself is to protect all the Gondor people. Unless you're going to put them at risk and bet that the emperor can forgive them. Oh, and to gamble that the Emperor's attitude towards the Gondor people has changed drastically, otherwise the Gondor people would still have to live a far lower life than the Arnorians. The Gondor people have directly rebelled against the Emperor's orders for you, and you can bear to let them gamble on the future?"

Merandil pondered for a long time, and resolutely drank the wine in the bottle. He said: "It is enough to gamble with oneself, and to gamble with the fate of others, this kind of king is not even as good as an animal." ”

"Now that you have chosen the people, let us put aside all distractions. Patting King Gondor on the shoulder with satisfaction, Thranduil said meaningfully: "The people are worthy of the king's life, and there is nothing wrong with doing anything for the people." What is the Emperor of Man in front of the people? Restrain the undeserved shame, it has no practical effect on the Gondor people. ”

A day later, Valandil, who had just completed the succession ceremony, received a secret letter. Although he did not know that the letter was written by the Elven King, the Emperor sensed the malice of Gondor from the contents of the letter. Like all kings, Valandil resents being challenged, but he is not only the Emperor of Men, but also a human who has been taught by the wise men of Middle-earth.

Although Gondor was so angry that even civilians dared to disobey the Emperor's orders, and made the Emperor firm in his determination to send troops to Gondor, Valandil thought about it with amazing endurance for three days. Three days later, finding an excuse, the Emperor ordered officials to send a notice to all allies.
