Chapter 34: The Real World
Rivendell's also has lively times, but the excitement is only relatively speaking, not singing and dancing, on the contrary, it is full of parting sadness.
Over the course of twenty-one days, they repeatedly saw spirits from other places coming, and then they sailed out to sea.
"When did the elves start migrating?" Lin Bin asked, of course, Mei Li: "How many elves are there in Middle-earth?" ”
Melly has "dark elf blood" and is considered a member of the elves, and she has been in contact with them a lot during this time, especially with King Elon many times.
"Migrations started a hundred years ago." Merry is now dressed as an elf, but the rest of the elves are all white, but she is a dark purple: "That is, they received an oracle a hundred years ago and sent people to the Western Continent." I heard that the Western Continent is not a borderland, and the war between the elves and the races on that side has been going on for a hundred years. ”
According to some of King Elon's words, the races on the Western Continent are no less than those in Middle-earth, and the most powerful of them is the Terrans, but the Terrans there are much more evil than those in Middle-earth.
"Listening to the description, the race of the Western continent is very similar to the Indians in the ancient times of the main world, from the state system to the military characteristics." Merry's face gradually turned weird, and then she continued: "They say that the dark elves were the first to migrate, and the existence of dark elves is almost invisible in Middle-earth. I was the first Dark Elf they had seen in forty years. ”
A human state similar to India? The Lord of the Rings (Lord of the Rings) movie Part 3 has such a group of people appearing as pirate characters on Sauron's side.
The second part of the Lord of the Rings movie also has footage of that group of people, about their invasion of the kingdom of Gondor. It's just that the main plot of the movie is about escorting the One Ring, and the wars between countries, forces and races will not be described if they have nothing to do with the escort team of the One Ring.
"Evil and justice look at the position you are in, and the ass determines the head." Chu Fan sneered a few times and said, "Did the elves migrate to the Western Continent to invade?" ”
That's it!
The Western Continent is a place where there is a master, and it is better to say that the elves are carrying out a great migration, rather than whether they are carrying out a cross-sea invasion under the oracle, or the kind of military campaign that throws all their resources into it, and only when they are victorious can they have a new living space.
"In the second part, the armies from the Western continent do not mention how many they are, and you can even see armies similar to the Persians, but they do not describe how much territory they occupy in Middle-earth." Brandon subconsciously thought that this matter was critical, and said, "Gondor is fending off the advance in the direction of Mordor, and at the same time, he is also fighting the enemy forces from the Western Continent. In that case, Gondor seemed to be very powerful before! ”
Brandon is talking about before.
It can be inferred from the backstories and plots of some movies that after Sauron began to recover, an army of orcs appeared on Mordor's side, and it was Gondor who was alone in resisting Mordor's advance and did not ask anyone for support.
Now some plots that may be marginal in the movie cannot be ignored in the real world.
The elves have invaded the Western Continent, but Gondor, Middle-earth, is being invaded by the army from the Western Continent, so how is the elf's war in the Western Continent going?
"The plot of the third part is that Gondor couldn't withstand the pressure of Mordor, and directly hit the capital." Brandon thought for a moment and said, "The movie doesn't mention why Gondor suddenly can't carry it after carrying it for so long, and at the same time, I don't see Gondor transfer reinforcements back from other places. Is it possible to guess that Gondor is not without other armies, but is entangled by enemy troops from the Western Continent and cannot escape? ”
When everyone thought about it, it seemed that such a speculation was reasonable.
Since Gondor is the most powerful nation of the human race, how can it be that there is only such a small army.
If the war broke out suddenly, it is understandable that Gondor has a small army, but the key is that Gondor entered a state of war decades ago, and it is impossible not to expand the army!
Since it is the most powerful country of the human race, it can still carry it for decades, and the number of troops will not be small.
"It also explains that Gondor's army has been almost depleted in decades of war." Brandon is now in his own state: "It's just that there is one thing that cannot be explained, for example, since Gondor's army has been exhausted, why didn't the army from the Western Continent join the war against Minas Tirith? Attacking the capital of a country, no politician would give up participating in it after putting in so much effort and sacrifice, right? ”
The film story has an explanation for Gondor being left alone, with the king of Rohan being controlled by the men sent by Saruman, and the rest of the kingdoms and races for other reasons.
One of the reasons they didn't help Gondor was that they didn't have a royal family, and it was the Prime Minister's family who ran Gondor.
If you understand Western culture, you will probably understand the importance of the royal family to a country.
If you don't understand Western culture, how can you understand the importance of bloodline when you look at so many races just because of Aragorn's bloodline.
"We have come to a world full of war...... Lin Bin fully understood what Brandon wanted to express, and said: "No matter how strong an individual's force is, unless it is strong to a certain extent, it still needs an army." ”
Brandon bowed his head and said, "We want to bury Sauron, and the wars of several major battlefields cannot be ignored." ”
They came to the real world, and there are still those plot characters in it, but the key is that the plot is not static!
"Some people went to participate in the mission, and what they encountered was a plot reversal." Melly said with a grim face: "They are too focused on the target task and ignore the ongoing war, and by the time they have to pay attention, they are already surrounded by countless armies, or no matter what they do, they can't turn the whole situation around." ”
The reason why they will mention these things is quite simple, the main world is not a battle between several strong people, any encounter with a major invasion is a global scope, to say that the "main god" definitely wants to cultivate a few strong people, simply to say that the experience is not for individuals.
Lin Bin seemed to be acting alone in the invasion, but in fact, every time he was involved in the battle of a large group.
"The worlds we went to before were small teams that worked." Brandon looked around at everyone and said, "This time is obviously a little different. Whatever we want to do, we will eventually be drawn into the big group. ”
They have come to understand that if they want to complete the mission, or even eliminate those participants in the otherworldly mission, it will be more difficult to leave the army to assist!
