405. The matter is in Xiao Wall
Gardo asked in disbelief: "You really don't want to join forces?"
"You're right. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I just don't want to join forces. Knowing that there was no way to deal with the past without giving a reasonable reason, Thranduil simply replied directly: "I am not as tolerant of the human emperor as you. There's no need to invite a human with a higher status than me into the war zone, and let him command me as emperor. There is no need to let the last person who joins to share the results in vain. It's true that humans are the ultimate beneficiaries of this battle, but I don't want the Emperor to get the slightest bit of glory related to the battle. ”
The Elven King doesn't like the Emperor, Gardo knows. He didn't want the emperor to get the glory related to the siege, and Gardo could understand it. But how could these reasons stump the Ship King's messengers? What's more, the Elven King's worries were completely superfluous in Gardo's opinion.
"Who said that the descendants of the coalition would criticize you? Our Majesty will not only ask the emperor to agree to the alliance, but also take into account your feelings. He will make the emperor agree, and your opinion will prevail in the war. The emperor is only the late arrival, and should not be directed over the first to command the overall situation. Judging from the fact that the Emperor has no actual combat experience at all, our Majesty also believes that he is not suitable to be the commander of the encirclement war. ”
Seeing that the elven king's expression eased, Gardo hurriedly pursued with victory. He stood directly beside the Elven King and said, "You should see the benefits that the coalition forces bring to you. Although it is only indirect command, there are 20,000 more human soldiers at your disposal. Moreover, I might as well tell you that the coalition forces are not only the intention of our Majesty, but also the Solin side. If you insist on not wanting to join forces, Lady Rinlin probably won't mind coming over in person. ”
"Everyone knows that Prince and Mrs. Kellen are kind to me on my woodland, so you are threatening me by moving out of Madame Galadriel?"
In the midst of Gardo's denial and apology, Thranduil began to think about it. After a moment, the Elven King, whose brows were still furrowed, motioned for Gardo to sit down, and then asked solemnly, "Why does King Serdan insist on bringing about an alliance?" There is no reason to convince me, even if Lady Galadriel is there to persuade me. ”
Could it be that the Elven King has always thought that our Majesty is bringing about an alliance for other purposes?
While blaming himself, Gardo began to look around. Seeing that there were indeed no other creatures around, he lowered his voice and said, "For the sake of human beings not to kill each other. ”
This sentence alone made Thranduil guess Sedan's thoughts. And Gardo's later words also show that he guessed extremely accurately. Gardo first said with some guilt: "In the past few years, the Emperor of Man has been taught in Rivinedell. The elven leaders all believed that under the care of the wise, the emperor was carefree. The emperor is free of nature, and so is the human being. In addition, the human emperor does not like other races to interfere too much in human affairs, so except for regular diplomatic exchanges, the elven leaders do not deliberately pay attention to the human kingdom. Who knows......"
After spending more than ten seconds of regret and sighing, Gardo leaned down and approached the Elven King and said, "As soon as King Serdan learned that the officials of Arnoor had been driven out of Gondor by the people, he immediately began to arrange for the elves to understand Gondor's situation. Unexpectedly, the situation was so serious that all the Gondor people only recognized Merandil and were unwilling to accept the Human Emperor. A few days ago, I learned that the Emperor of the People had passed through Lingu with his troops, and His Majesty noticed that something was wrong. In order to prevent the Imperial Legion from targeting the Gondor, King Serdan has decided to broker an alliance and ask you to borrow the Encirclement Army to control the Imperial Legion and prevent the human race from fratricidal. ”
"Does King Serdan think that the Human Emperor's legions may not have come to conquer Mordor, but to reclaim power from Gondor?" Thranduil disguised his panic with a look of incredulity. Of course, this panic was because he was afraid that the purpose of his army would also be penetrated by King Sedan.
Fortunately, I launched the siege two years in advance, unlike the Emperor of Man, who immediately moved his troops when he learned that Gondor had failed to take power. Otherwise, with Serdan's keen thinking, it would not be difficult to discern the true purpose of the siege. Not only that, but Gardo also said that Lady Jarin was also willing to come here in order to facilitate the coalition forces, so Galadriel also saw through the Emperor's excuse. Elrond needed no more suspicion. The real power of Gondor's real power was rejected and the troops were immediately transferred to come, and the two things were so close that the connection between them obviously could not escape the eyes of the wise man!
It's a new adult. If you can be a little more patient, and then come to find an excuse to transfer troops to Gondor for a few years, it will not be so easy for the wise men to see through.
While secretly rejoicing, Thranduil also believed that the coalition was not a temptation for Serdan. He showed a slightly moved look, stroked his chin and continued to refuse: "Cannibalism is indeed not a good thing. But I really don't want to get too close to the Emperor. Besides, human beings are not our race......"
"Elves have the responsibility to protect the world, and they also have the obligation to protect the peace of other races. Gardo, who was full of righteousness, changed his respectful posture, pointed in the direction of Mordor and said, "Although the Supreme Ring has never been found, it has not been destroyed. Now that Sauron is bound to return, the righteous faction cannot afford to expend its strength on infighting. Humans belong to the righteous camp, and the elves have an obligation to preserve the power of the righteous camp. ”
"Guarding the world again!" After letting out a helpless sigh, the Elven King finally nodded. "For Sauron's sake, I reluctantly agreed. However, how sure is King Serdan that the Emperor might move troops against Gondor, and if Valandil is really here to assist in the siege, why should I be bothered about this?"
How unbearable is the past of the elf king and the human emperor, so that they don't even want to reject the coalition like this?Speaking of the dry mouth, Gardo sighed helplessly, and drank a glass of wine before saying slowly.
"In the eyes of our Majesty, it does not matter how certain it is, it is important to put an end to this possibility altogether. If the Emperor of the People is really only focused on conquering Mordor, everyone will naturally be happy. But he came with a strong army, in case of an unhappy quarrel with Gondor, who could guarantee that the Emperor would not give an order that the target was Gondor? If the Human Emperor is only trying to conquer Mordor, you and the Lone Mountain King should naturally not have any restraint on him. If the Emperor asks for an army to enter Gondor, you can use the advantage of the commander to refuse the order on the grounds that it is not in keeping with the war. You can make arrangements before the alliance so that the Arnol Legion can be controlled at any time after the alliance is completed. ”
After Gardo finished speaking, Thranduil was silent for a few minutes, and finally his doubts were dispelled. After making sure that Serdan was not trying to test himself, but to bring about an alliance, Thranduil teased in a good mood. "Can it be controlled at any time?Isn't King Serdan afraid that I will use the coalition army to swallow up the human emperor legion?"
