Three hundred and seventy-four, the head knows the tail
"Mud, why isn't it all covered with snow like the Mordor Mountains?" didn't think for a moment that more Vernoll subconsciously looked in the direction of Mordor's gate. The door that had been frozen for a long time remained untouched by the Pen, Fun and Pavilion www.biquge.info, and only the ice that sealed it would be refracted by the sunlight every day. It was precisely because there were no cracks in the ice that shrouded the black gate that King Merandil asked the Elven King to give an explanation.
"The snow turns into water after a long time of stamping, mixes with the soil and freezes into mud. Mordor's exit to the Norn Inland Sea is full of mud but no snow, and you know why. ”
"So, the creatures in Mordor have been fleeing so much that they have trampled the snow away?" Knowing that Mordor's benefits had nothing to do with the Woodland Kingdom, Vernorr was glad that the Human Kingdom was about to take over Mordor's future. The happy mood made her not avoid the pull of the elf king, but sat beside him. "With this escape, the creatures in Mordor will soon be left, and the siege will be over early?"
"Are you expecting me to return to the woodland sooner?" Thranduil raised an eyebrow and said meaningfully, "If that's the case, the siege might end early." ”
It was not easy to end the siege of Mordor early, and for the Elven King, everything he had done about Gondor was in vain.
Since the purpose of the battle is to arrive at Gondor ahead of schedule, he waits for the strong takeover of power by the Human Emperor in the form of waiting for the rabbit. Thranduil knew that the siege must continue until after the arrival of the Emperor.
When will the Emperor of Man come? Thranduil didn't know, and neither did Warandil at this time. But he was sure that when the Emperor first ascended the throne, he would be eager to prove his ability to the whole of Middle-earth, and that the Emperor would be defeated if he was patient. And this duel, in which no one wants to see the smoke of gunpowder, is fundamentally a contest of patience.
If Valandil could endure and not regain power without the withdrawal of the army besieging Mordor, then Thranduil was doomed to defeat - in Mordor's current situation, he could only do his best to ensure that the besieging army had a legitimate reason to remain outside the gates of Gondor for less than three years. Because according to this escape, after three years, unless Sauron returns, there will only be a few enemies left in Mordor. When the siege developed to the point where the enemy was scarce and Gondor was fully capable of conquering Mordor on his own, the encirclement had no excuse to stay, and Thrandil's plan to raise a heavy army would face complete failure.
The bet is that Valandil is impatient, and the bet is that he will immediately prove his strength by recovering the real power of Gondor when he takes the head street of the human emperor!
Based on the age of the future Emperor, Thrandir was seventy percent sure that he would be able to wait for Valandil in two years. However, if the siege were to end early, it would still be a complete failure to support Merandil. Ending the war early without seeing the Emperor's army means that all living beings, knowing or unwitting, will be wiped out during this time, and there will be more far-reaching losses, such as failing Merandil and Nader, and losing faith in all of Middle-earth, such as ......
No matter how great the loss is, it can't compare to a word from Vernoll in Thrandil's heart. This sentence is too important to him, which is equivalent to finding a ray of hope in despair. You know, no matter how hard Thranduil tried in the past few years, he still couldn't get the slightest response, not even tacitly. Even a glimmer of selfish hope for Vernorr could comfort Thranduil in hopeless agony. So he didn't spend much time thinking about it, and easily decided to hand over the duration of the siege of Mordor to Vernor.
As long as you want me to go back sooner, what's so hard about losing everything you have hoped for?" Thranduil sat up nervously but with little effort, waiting for an answer. Unfortunately, Vernor didn't know what was going on behind the scenes of the siege of Mordor, let alone that this answer would play an important role in determining whether the human imperial power was unified.
"I ...... I'm the same as the Wood Elves.,Of course, I hope you can triumph as soon as possible.。。 In order not to affect the elven king's war thinking, she even added: "The woodland is very peaceful under the strong operation of Dewen, you just have to concentrate on the war and let it end as soon as possible." ”
Sighing heavily, Thranduil, who was disappointed again, even became extremely lazy in his voice: "End soon?" I want to, too, but I can only depend on the will of God. The longer the cold winter lasts, the more and more Oaks will be able to stand the cold, and they will naturally escape faster. When all the species inside escaped, the siege battle would naturally end. ”
Didn't you just reveal some hints that you could end the war early? Why do you say that it depends on the heavens now? Vernor felt that something was wrong, and just wanted to ask another question, but saw Thranduil stand up straight.
"Tomorrow if the ice is still there, accompany me to see the snow. The Elven King, who had not changed at all, habitually walked to the wine cabinet a few steps away and pulled out a new wine. As he opened the bottle, he added, "By the way, take a look at the situation around the main entrance of Mordor. ”
When he found that he hadn't waited for a long time to respond, looked up at the other party, and was about to send a reminder of "You promised to accompany me to see the snow", Vernoll actually walked up to him quickly.
"Thank you, Vera!" Ignoring the Elf King, who was still holding a full glass of wine, she hugged each other with great sincerity, and her voice was full of joy: "You have recovered faster than I imagined!"
It wasn't until the wine glass in his hand began to tilt under the influence of the other party's retracted arms, and the red wine in the glass dripped down the rim of the glass onto the soft carpet, that Thranduil knew that he had missed the opportunity to return the hug in a short moment. Of course, he also knew what Vernoll was happy about.
"Not only beyond your imagination, but also beyond my imagination. Looking at his hand incredulously, Thranduil couldn't help but say excitedly: "Then you have no reason to refuse the offer to accompany me to see the snow." ”
"Good. "Where would Fenor, who was really happy for Thrandil, have the idea of refusing? Not only did he agree to the other party, but he also completely followed the Elf King's proposal that "you will leave early tomorrow morning and go to rest first", and reassured himself to leave. It wasn't until the next morning, when he learned from the Wood Elf squire that Thrandel still had some difficulty holding the sword, that Fnorr felt that he was a little too happy to be happy.
Seeing that the elven king asked the attendant to bring an extra robe again due to the cold, Vernorr thought twice and carefully reminded: "There is a distance to the gate of Mordor. You're not fully recovered right now, and it's going to be hard to control the horned deer. How many days do you want it to pass?"
