Four hundred and thirteen, retreat

Valandil even made no secret of the fact that he asked the already panicked Gondor official, "Merandiel's family is all in Rice City, there are a lot of them, right?"

Even a few dwarven soldiers passing by had heard that King Gondor's entire family would not escape the fate of punishment, so how could the officials of Gondor not notice it? The officials who were temporarily guarded by a dozen Arnoor soldiers watched as the Emperor turned around and walked towards the coalition area, while rejoicing that someone had slipped away to report to King Sedan. Ten minutes later www.biquge.info the Emperor finally found the command center of the coalition army, the camp where King Nader and the Saxons were located.

After a brief greeting to the dwarven king, Valandil couldn't wait to ask Saxon to show him around, and Nader stopped him before he walked out of the camp.

"Human Emperor, don't you want to see the coalition plan?" Although he knew that the Saxons would explain the coalition arrangements to the Human Emperor in detail, Nader still handed over the coalition plan that was not too thick with one hand. "It's easier to find the problem by looking at this. Hopefully, my arrangement will not disappoint you. ”

As the thin book in his hand was taken, Nader smiled meaningfully. He was almost certain that as soon as he came out of the camp, the Emperor would drag the Saxons to check the details of the coalition forces, and he would ask his generals if they had found a problem. However, judging from Nader's knowledge, although the alliance plan customized by the Elf King himself has a huge hidden danger, at this time, only the Saxon accompanied by the Human Emperor can't find the hidden danger, and he will even think that this is the special care of the encircling army.

The problem was that 40,000 dwarven soldiers surrounded the Arnol legion in a central position, and even the weapons were managed by the dwarven generals under the pretext of "preventing soldiers from fighting and hurting each other".

On the second night of the arrival of Serdan's envoy Gardo, Nader was a little shocked to see the planned new "unified management of arms" treaty.

"Soldiers in battle will be uniformly distributed?Mentor, you are trying to trap the human army to death, will the Emperor of the People agree?" Thinking that this plan would be claimed to be his own work, Nader wiped his sweat and said, "The Emperor of Man won't pour wine on me as soon as he finishes reading the plan, right?"

"I can't take a shower when I get drunk. You have 40,000 soldiers, and he has 20,000. If he dares to be disrespectful to you, you just have to go up and smoke him. It's not like I have to take into account the opinions of the whole people. What are you afraid of him?" Thranduil nibbled on the fruit sent from the civilian quarters of Gondor, regardless of his manners, and after a roll of his eyes as always, he continued to work hard.

The alliance can't be fooled by the mentor so much!Nader stood firmly in front of the Elven King, and very sincerely put the tray of silk cloth on his chest. "If he doesn't agree, aren't you planning in vain?"

The long-term aristocratic edification really made it impossible for the Elf King to directly wipe his mouth with his sleeve. Although he was still struggling with the miscellaneous fruits a second ago, the elf king who saw the silk cloth returned to the posture of the noble elves. Slowly cleaning his face and hands, the Elf King said, "He won't disagree-the human emperor who has just come of age has no combat experience, and it is estimated that he has not read much of the war book. He doesn't understand the intricacies of the coalition forces, but he will only thank us for leaving them with the best position, and he will praise you for your thoughtful arrangement. Besides, this is just to get through the initial run-in period smoothly, and it will only be carried out for a month. ”

Multi-racial coalitions, and disputes between foreign soldiers in private have been repeatedly prohibited. Even elves and humans who have a close relationship can have a war of words due to certain differences in their thoughts and behaviors, let alone dwarves who compare themselves? Under the pretext of "preventing internal strife", Thranduil believes that under the mediation of Serdan, it will not be a problem to get the emperor to agree.

Nader still wondered why King Serdan suddenly intervened in the siege of the army. He said with some hesitation: "The aristocratic King Sedan, who has been helping the elves who went west without asking for anything in return for thousands of years, has also taken time to participate in the final alliance battle, and in terms of morality, he can be called the best elves in Zhongzhou. He is also the oldest and wisest elf in Zhongzhou at present. Judging from his character and foresight, it is impossible not to know that you are arranging this way to restrain the human emperor. Why would he agree that you wouldn't make the emperor feel better?"

Why agree?, through the reasons that Gardo persuaded himself, Thranduil guessed that Serdan's idea was nothing more than "at best the power of preserving justice, and at least for the preserving of the people of Gondor". Thranduil did not tell Nader the uncertain information, but patted him on the shoulder and said, "How can you and I understand King Serdan's thoughts? As for King Sedan...... It's better not to talk about the eldest elf behind your back. ”

"Okay. Back to the topic. Even if the Emperor of Man has no combat experience and can't see the shortcomings of the coalition forces, can't his generals see it?" Nader was still a little unsure, and chased after Thranduil and asked, "If you really agree to this plan, his soldiers will be subject to the dwarves." ”

"Whether or not he agrees to the coalition plan is a matter for King Sedan, you and I don't have to worry. Knowing that this plan was in line with Serdan's idea of "preventing civil war among humans", Thranduil did not hesitate. However, he patiently explained to Nader: "You forgot the news we received? Did General Osborne, who was supposed to come with him, break his leg the night before he showed up?"

This Osborne is really smart!

Thranduil smiled meaningfully. He was almost certain that Osborne, who had personally lived in the Battle of the Last Alliance, had deliberately broken his leg. This general, who had performed well on the battlefield for seven years, may have discovered the true purpose of the human emperor and was unwilling to hurt the connected Gondor; or perhaps he guessed that this time the army would need to face problems that even he could not solve, and failing to meet the requirements of the human emperor would inevitably cause the emperor's secret annoyance; even if he did anything, he would make a mistake, so he simply broke his leg and retreated.

Of course, when something happened near the departure that disturbed the original plan, it would also attract the emperor's reprimand and anger. But the former pale in comparison to the consequences of reaching Gondor.

Osborne was indeed a veteran and far-sighted general. No wonder in order to subdue him, Valandil had to forcibly raise the Saxons, who had never been out of the Arnor kingdom much, to the same position. It seems that this Saxon's biggest advantage for the emperor of men is obedience.

"Nader, you've seen Saxon's resume too, tell me what you think of him?"
