Chapter 73: The Curse of Theodon
The arrival of the elven army was the result of negotiations between King Elon and several elven tribes, but the main force came from the Golden Forest, that is, the support of the Elven Emperor Kellerpen and the Queen of Light, Galadriel.
"Hadar!" Aragorn walked happily to the elven officer who led the team, not with a relatively ordinary handshake, but with a warm hug to Hadar: "It's great that you can come." ”
Hadar was a little bewildered by a warm embrace from Aragorn.
Elves are generally more plain personalities, and after living long enough, they will be erased by the long years, and it is difficult to be excited or excited, but they will become extremely important to friendship.
"Really? I'm probably the only one who can lead the team. "Hadar is talking about the fact that there are very few elven officers left in Middle-earth, and the elves with rich combat experience are too high. He glanced left and right, saw that the Fellowship of the Ring was several missing, and then saw Theodun, and said, "We have come to help you fight against evil, according to the ancient covenant and the friendship between the elves and the humans. ”
Heudon had previously observed an army of elves coming. He had to admit that compared with this elven army under his command, not only did the armed forces on Rohan's side look like beggars, but they were also greatly inferior in terms of military appearance and morale, and even there was a significant gap in the level of elite.
The elven army that arrived, that is, the most ordinary elven soldiers, were all wearing a complete set of armor, even in the inconspicuous light, the armor on each elven soldier was reflecting the golden light.
The elven soldiers not only look extraterrestrial and gorgeous, but they also look like seasoned elites.
However, it is also the case, elves are immortal species, and their lifespan is tens of thousands of years old at every turn, and their physical maturity is similar to that of humans.
Many elves who are full-time combatants, if they don't die in a certain battle, the long years are indispensable to participate in battles repeatedly, how many battles should they have fought if they lived for thousands of years?
For example, King Elrond has not only participated in the war against Sauron, but also experienced many wars between elves and dwarves, and even fought with humans several times.
Hadar also participated in the crusade against Sauron, but at that time he was a very ordinary soldier, and after so many years, he could be considered to be in the upper middle class.
"You're welcome." Siyodon, the highest person here, should have stepped forward to welcome him, saying, "We will give everything we have to entertain you, please come and rest." ”
The trumpet belonging to the elves sounded again, and the elven army, which had been suspended, marched on foot again.
Hadar didn't really pay much attention to Siyordon, but instead had a good chat with Aragorn.
"The children of fate are treated well, right?" Chu Fan smoked a cigarette and teased: "Everywhere you go, you have acquaintances, and you still pay great attention to them." ”
"I think he's pathetic." Yan and Chu Fan performed a task together, and after getting acquainted with it, they were able to talk, and said: "It sounds like a child of fate, but in fact, it is a pawn of the gods." No matter what kind of results he has, the gods are behind the push and planning, and he feels good about himself. Isn't it pathetic? ”
It's really too cruel to say that.
However, the truth is that it was all about the rise and fall of Gondor, and why Aragorn had embarked on a life of exile, and was it not arranged by the gods?
"We will not interfere in the civilized process of ordinary people." He expressed his opinion and said seriously: "The gods of this world are too selfish. Treat sentient beings as toys and play with them wantonly. ”
A few people's faces are not very good.
Lin Bin and Chu Fan glanced at each other, and continued to smile wryly with the rest of the team.
Aren't they pawns? It could also be a programmed pawn, struggling to survive and become stronger, giving itself the qualifications to become a pawn.
In fact...... Sometimes it's not so easy to be a pawn!
The arrival of reinforcements, still from the elves, greatly boosted the morale of the Rohans.
Many people have only heard of the existence of elves before, and have not seen even one of them with their own eyes.
may be due to the gratitude in their hearts, when the Rohan people look at the elves, how they look at them and how pleasing they are, and they think that the elves are really handsome.
"Really? So there's Gimli? "Hadar had only seen the Fellowship Expeditionary Force in the Golden Forest, and he hadn't had much contact, and he didn't know that there were dwarves in the Fellowship Expeditionary Force. He asked, "That dark elf named Merry went to the Lonely Mountain, is it safe to let the dwarves go to war?" ”
Lin Bin needed to answer this question, so he said: "If the dwarves still love gold, they have not abandoned their tradition of avenging their bloodline, and they will participate in the war." ”
Hadar was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of disdain, and said with great certainty: "Dwarves will forget many of their traditions, but their greed for gold will never change. ”
This seems to be the consensus of all the races that know the dwarves? You can see how real and deeply rooted the reputation of the dwarves is for greed!
"You ......," Hadar asked, bewildered, "is there enough gold to satisfy the greedy dwarves?" ”
"For gold, we are not lacking." When will Lin Bin wait until he doesn't pretend to be forced at this time? He said with extreme seriousness, "If there is any way to describe it, the gold we have can fill the Valley of the Holy Helm. ”
Hadar is nothing, including Legolas has no special ideas, and the rest of the people are different.
"It can't be!" Boromo was skeptical and said, "How much gold should that be?" Have you acquired the gold of the whole world? ”
Lin Bin just smiled and didn't make any rebuttals. He mentioned that in order to lay an ambush for the return of the later mission.
"Even if the dwarves are to fight now, it will take a long time." Heudun knew the dwarves, of course, and could roughly guess how long it would take for the Lone Mountain Dwarves to gather an army, and how long it would take to march. He said, "The Orcs are less than a day's journey away. ”
It's not that they didn't want to intercept or harass them in the middle, but the reality is extremely cruel.
Even if there are two thousand elven reinforcements, the armed forces of the Holy Helmet Valley are only close to three thousand five hundred, of which six or seven hundred are still old and weak.
If Gandalf had found Faraz, he would have been able to take two thousand cavalry into battle.
"At best, we only have 5,500 combatants." Siyodon was obviously mentally prepared for a bitter battle and even defeat, and said: "I will not bear the glory of Rohan, once unfortunately I die in battle, I will curse Gondor to accompany Rohan's footsteps!" ”
Aragorn was stiff.
Boromo wanted to be angry, but he couldn't get angry, and an embarrassed expression appeared on his face.
