Chapter 213: Assemble
Mordor is domineering!
They carried that momentum, perhaps the aura of a tyrant, so Mordor could completely ignore the build-up of the coalition forces, and even put no more pressure on the dwarves, allowing the dwarves to wait for the arrival of the coalition forces in the sacred mountains.
Mordor's approach is logically called stupidity, but when this kind of thing happens to Mordor, it turns into confidence and contempt, because Mordor has the power to do these things, even if he makes the coalition army assembled, it is nothing to himself, and Mordor can even use this means to completely show his majesty, and let people outside know how powerful Mordor really is.
And so, one of the largest assemblies in the whole of southern Middle-earth began!
At Fort Clarion, the first to arrive was the army of centaurs.
The Horn Fort faced the wind of the central steppe, blowing the banner on the castle, the gate was wide open, and the centaur army jumped in.
Eighty thousand centaurs, this is equivalent to eighty thousand cavalry, maybe the knights are a bit excessive, but eighty thousand cavalry is absolutely no problem, and these eighty thousand cavalry, on any side, is an absolutely unbelievable force, the defenders of Hornfort have not yet seen the elves and human armies, and even the dwarf army behind, but just these eighty thousand centaurs are enough to give them endless confidence.
The entire Hornfort defenders were filled with confidence, with such a powerful army, how could they worry about not being able to defeat Mordor?
As the first army and leader to arrive at Fort Clarion, Qiyan naturally received the highest level of reception, although this is not the territory of Qiyan, but it still makes Qiyan linger, centaurs are not very good at building houses, so the city of centaurs is extremely rare, and the planning is not very good, but this does not mean that centaurs do not like tall buildings, in fact, the royal city in the heyday of centaurs is no worse than Baicheng.
The current centaurs can only sigh, and all the men of their entire race are only 80,000 people together, if Lelouch also follows the level of begging for a level of reckless force, it is still possible to mobilize five or six million, but Lelouch does not have so many materials and equipment to arm them.
Centaurs are few people, so they can be mobilized in this way.
Two days after the centaurs arrived at Fort Horn, there was an exciting sound of horns on Fort Horn, and outside Fort Clarifolia, there was an equally dense sound of huge trumpets and war drums, and the fierce response, the Terran army of Lelouch had arrived!
The centaurs ran to the various high platforms to look out, and then their eyes were covered by a bright silver army, and the sonorous sound of armor that resounded through the heavens and the earth, what is the concept of 300,000 people? It had already been made clear when Kakar's Third Legion attacked White City, and now it seems that when the pomp and circumstance appeared on the side of the Terrans, that momentum was still not weaker than Mordor, and even surpassed!
"Hooray!"
"Hooray!"
The centaurs cheered, they may be the two happiest forces in this war, one is the dwarves, the other is their centaurs, to be honest, the human race and the elves are separated by a godsend, and there is also the Horn Fort of Xiongguan, they can completely shrink up, but now they still choose to send troops, and from the perspective of the strength of the human race, the human race is really out of force this time.
For the development of the Terrans in recent years, an army of 300,000 people is already an extremely terrifying force, although the centaurs are excited by such a powerful reinforcement of their own, but Qiyan is a mixed blessing, he suddenly found that he may really not be able to surpass Leluxiu, even if the centaurs have the central grassland, and there is no interference from Mordor at all, they can't surpass the Terran.
The Terran has a population of nearly 80 million, and this number will grow explosively, under industrialization, the productivity that a Terran can provide is exactly the same as that of a Centaur, that is to say, no matter what, the Centaur can't win the Terran, Qiyan suddenly became a little depressed at this moment, even if he defeated Mordor this time, where is his future way out? Will the Terrans let themselves go?
Qi Yan knew very well that the reason why they were united was not because of how good their relationship was, but simply because Mordor didn't care about their centaurs, if Mordor was willing to accept them centaurs, the centaurs would definitely stand on Mordor's side, so theoretically, without Mordor, it would be absolutely impossible for the three-clan alliance to sit back and watch itself develop!
Qi Yan understands this very well, especially now that he sees the strong military appearance of the human race, he thinks more clearly.
"Where's the beggar? Where is my dear Centaur brother? ”
Qi Yan's musings were interrupted by Lu Luxiu's hearty voice, and Lu Lu Xiu, who was dressed in exquisite armor, strode in and couldn't wait to walk to Qi Yan's side.
When Qi Yan turned to look at Lelouxiu, there was no superfluous color on his face, only the most sincere smile:
"I knew that His Majesty, the Great Human Emperor, would not sit idly by and watch evil spread in Middle-earth!"
It is quite embarrassing for Lelouch to be slapped by Qiyan's sycophant, after all, Lu Luxiu refused Qiyan's request to send troops before, if it weren't for the dwarf being beaten, Lelouxiu would have decided to give up the centaur, who is not angry about this kind of thing, if Qiyan treats himself coldly, Lelouxiu still feels some stability in his heart, but now that Qiyan is so enthusiastic, it really makes Lelouxiu a little sorry for the centaur.
Lu Luxiu thought about how embarrassed he was, but Qi Yan felt a sadness in the depths of his heart, this is the sorrow of a weak country, facing the people who abandoned him, but instead he had to give him the warmest friendliness and hugs at this time, and even defend him, just to prevent the other party from feeling unhappy, which led to his country and the people having a hard time, this kind of sadness deeply pierced Qi Yan's heart.
In the past, Qiyan finally spurned the kind of groveling of his ancestors, but now when it is his turn to be the master of the house, Qiyan realizes how powerful the leaders of his ancestors are, they don't care about their dignity at all, and give up everything for the survival of their race.
"Okay, okay, I just got the news, the elven army will arrive tomorrow, do you know how many people the elves have brought?"
Lelouch deliberately changed the topic, sold a pass, and then said directly:
"Two hundred thousand!"
"The elves brought a whole 200,000 people!"
After hearing that the elves had brought 200,000 people, Qi Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, so far, the entire coalition army already has an army of 580,000, which is not small, and it can even be said that it is difficult to see such a large army in the entire Middle Earth, and this is not even adding dwarves, if you add dwarves, the number of their coalition troops will definitely exceed 700,000.
Qi Yan felt his blood boiling when he thought about it at this time, 700,000 coalition troops, and it was not the kind of peasant soldiers or gray swamp freedmen who rushed the number of people, but 700,000 soldiers in the real sense, with these 700,000 people in his heart, Qi Yan finally felt that he could dispel the pressure brought by Mordor to himself, Mordor was more numerous than the coalition army, and he couldn't hide much, after all, the coalition soldiers at this time, no matter which one they were, could beat two or three half-orc soldiers.
It is impossible for Mordor to have millions of strong orcs, even if there is, where there are the most strong orcs, the Black Land has already rebelled, and Mordor relies on it, or mainly half-orcs, if Mordor wants to win the coalition army, then there must be at least two million troops, but is it possible?
Beggar smiled at the self-deprecating version in his heart, Mordor with two million people? Just think about it!
For the optimism of the begging face, Lelouch can clearly feel it, but as the nominal leader of the coalition army, Lelouch can't be happy, no matter what, Lelouch doesn't believe that Mordor will not understand how terrifying the power of the coalition is, if Mordor doesn't know, then it is not worthy of being called Mordor, but if Mordor knows, then what kind of confidence does Mordor have to dare to gather troops by himself in such a big way?
The unknown is often the most terrifying, because Lelouch has too many unknowns, so Lelouch does not have any confidence to defeat Mordor, after all, this is the first time in a hundred years, the coalition army has fought Mordor in the field, and every battle before is always the defense of the coalition army, and Mordor attacks, but even if it relies on the defense of the city wall, the coalition forces are often defeated and won less, and this situation has not improved until the emergence of Lelouch in recent years.
Although Lelouch was worried in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, and if he put his expression on the outside, then what should the rest of the coalition think? Who will have the confidence to defeat Mordor?
"Great, with the dwarves, we'll be able to gather at least 700,000 people!"
Qi Yan almost said what he thought in his heart without thinking, but fortunately, Qi Yan didn't say anything about this kind of thing, but didn't say more after showing his happiness and relaxation, and Lelouch was here to hit the railway while it was hot:
"Tomorrow night we will hold a big party to celebrate the recovery of the coalition forces, and then we will spend half a month resting and making battle plans, so that the coalition soldiers can run in with each other!"
Lelouxiu's plan was affirmed by Qi Yan, after all, now Mordor has made it clear that Lao Tzu is waiting for you to fight, and he has not slaughtered the centaur tribe in the central grassland, so although Qi Yan is anxious, he also knows that he is not in a hurry now, the 700,000 army is not just on the table, and the integration time of one month is even too short for 700,000 people, and one month is already the minimum period set by Lu Luxiu, if it weren't for the discipline of the Terran army and the elven army are very good, Lelouch even felt that it took two months to barely have the ability to go out to fight.
It is impossible for the 300,000 troops to live in the Horn Fort until now, and the Horn Fort is built in a magnificent way, and it is impossible to live more than 300,000 or nearly 400,000 people, and there will be another 200,000 people tomorrow, and the total number of people is nearly 600,000, so it is necessary to build a peripheral camp.
In the night, when everyone fell asleep, Lelouch stood alone at the top of the Horn Fort, still relying on the cool night breeze to blow his body, that kind of elegant feeling made Lelouch feel that he had been completely emptied, and there was silence under the Horn Fort, only the crackling sound of the burning campfire in the distant camp came slightly, this sound was heard in the ears, and it made people want to sleep.
"Your Excellency, haven't you rested yet?"
Al didn't know when he came to the gate of Lelouch's palace, he shouted to Lelouch from a long distance, but Lelouch was facing the vast world and towering mountains under the night, and he didn't look back:
"Al, does your church have the magic of a prefabricated future?"
Hearing Lelouch's words, Al smiled slightly:
"The church is not a god, how can there be that kind of magic? Magic is just a kind of use of spiritual power, and the best elven clan in Mordor's hands is only a small shield against the evil dragon flame at most, and our human race is even worse! ”
Al's words made Lelouch nod, why didn't he understand? But people are so strange, when there is no hope and future, they always want to get some empty comfort, Lelouch is not exempt from vulgarity, in the final analysis, Lelouch is just an ordinary person, he just has the knowledge that the whole earth in later generations summarized for him, and then relied on one or two of them to create an empire of Middle-earth, he may have some sublimation under the cultivation of leadership temperament over the years, but when there is really something he needs to be confused about, he will still be like an ordinary person, But look for something to comfort yourself!
Al probably understood Lelouch's thoughts, and he took a few steps forward:
"Your Majesty, we don't know how powerful Mordor is, but we all know that their military strength will definitely not be less than ours, and even if we win the battle in a month and a half, we will definitely have to pay an extremely heavy price!"
"But"
Al said halfway through and suddenly aggravated his tone:
"We have no way back now, just like we did at the beginning, we can only continue to move forward at this time, only in this way, we can continue to survive, Middle-earth is too small to accommodate Mordor or the coalition forces, or even our strong empire in the future!"
Al's expression fanaticism:
"We can only kill, kill the future of the human race, today we will unite other forces to resist Mordor, tomorrow we will unify them, the day after tomorrow we will rule the whole of Middle-earth, and then we will go to sea to find the legendary dragon island, raise the dragon as our pet, and let the whole world crawl under our feet!"
"This is our destiny! It is the future of our human race! It is also the mission and significance of you! ”
