Chapter 610: The Tired Elven King
Rivendell!
Elrond, the Elven King of the Valley, was worried as he watched a group of guests come from afar.
Ever since the appearance of the One Ring and the Demon Lord Sauron began to regain his power, the High Elves have been preparing to evacuate Middle-earth!
According to the oracle set by the creator god Iluvita, the magic of Middle-earth will continue to fade, since the Second Age, the gods of Vera have been unable to walk in Middle-earth, and now it is the end of the Third Age, the concentration of magic in the continent has dropped again, and it is even so low that it is not suitable for the survival of the High Elves.
The High Elves have eternal life and a body form that humans envy, but they are also more difficult to adapt to changes in their environment than humans.
The fading of the magic element may be just that for humans
So hundreds of years ago, the High Elves planned to evacuate from Middle-earth and go to Amen Continent, where Vera is located!
As for why it was planned hundreds of years ago, but it didn't have time to move until now?
There is no way, the lifespan of the High Elves is too long and too long, and it doesn't mean anything to them at all if it grows to tens or hundreds of years.
For the sake of what sacrifices should be placed in the sacrificial ceremony, they can even argue for more than ten years, let alone such a major event as the relocation of the clan!
If it weren't for Sauron's strength, the elves would have finally felt the crisis due to the rapid recovery of their strength during this time, and God knows how long they would have to study it.
Originally, according to the plan, all the elves of Rivendell would be evacuated, and Elrond also quarreled with his daughter Arwyn.
Although Aragon has the title of a prince, but because the northern kingdom of Arno has long since perished, in fact, his family was quite difficult when he was born, and his parents died on the streets, and he almost froze to death in the snow.
Unable to bear to see his brother's bloodline disappear, Elrond brought him back to Rivendell before Aragorn's death, where he raised him.
You must know that whether it is the Kingdom of Arnor or the Kingdom of Gondor, their common ancestors are Elros, the founding emperor of the NΓΊmenor Empire of the First Age, and at the same time, Elros is also the younger brother of Elrond!
In terms of blood relationship, Elrond should be regarded as the uncle of Aragorn's Zeng Zeng Zeng Zeng who does not know how many generations, so as an elder, it is very reasonable for Elrond to adopt his younger brother who does not know how many bags of orphans.
It's just that what Elrond didn't expect was that he was actually a wolf into the room!
When he first brought Aragorn into Rivendell, it was naturally impossible for him to take care of the children himself, so he threw Aragorn to his daughter Arwyn to take care of him.
It turned out to be good, after coming and going, that boy from Aragon actually deceived his daughter's heart!
Any old man will not have a good face when he looks at his son-in-law, let alone really calculate, and Aragorn is even more guilty of the following crimes.
You must know that Alvin, regardless of age or generation, can be Aragon's grandfather and grandmother, and Aragon's calf eating old grass really makes Elrond feel that he has been stabbed in the chest.
Seriously, if it weren't for the fact that Aragorn Kid was his brother's only bloodline, he would have killed the other party a long time ago!
Do you really think that the elves will not do the black hand?
Finally, Elrond found an opportunity to send the Aragonese boy away, and by the way, persuaded his daughter to follow the large army to Amen Continent, preparing to separate the two from the root.
After all, humans are too fragile compared to elves, and after two or three hundred years, when Aragorn's kid dies of old age, then his daughter will be relieved.
But people are not as good as heaven, Elrond never imagined that the elves' migration plan that had been planned for hundreds of years would be put on hold.
A few days ago, the gods of Vera suddenly sent an oracle that an evil aura appeared in Middle-earth, demanding that the elves must assist the gods to destroy the evil Gandalf, otherwise the gods of Vera would close the passage to Amen and make it impossible for the elves to enter the territory of the gods.
After receiving this edict, Elrond almost forgot his demeanor and jumped up and scolded his mother, and he finally thought of such a way to separate his daughter from that human, but now all the plans have been disrupted.
Now not only his daughter Alwyn can't leave, but even the kid he has been afraid of all along, actually has to come to Rivendell in a grand manner!
A few days ago, Aragorn summoned tens of thousands of revenant souls from the White Mountain, and with the support of tens of thousands of troops, Aragorn is no longer a prince in name only, but the rightful heir of the Arno Kingdom.
After all, although the name is very important in these years, the strength in the hand is even more important!
In fact, Aragorn was originally going to go directly to Gondor with the army of revenants, because he could also be regarded as the heir to the throne of Gondor, as long as the people of Gondor supported him, plus the army in his hands, he could easily and legally obtain the throne of Gondor, and then gather the power of Gondor and the army of revenants, which could definitely contain most of the attention of evil.
It's just that this idea has died before it can be implemented, because under the pressure of someone's strong army, the regent of Gondor, Denesser II, has already announced his surrender, and Gondor has now become an evil territory!
Compared with the Rohan king Xiyoudon, Denesser II obviously knew much more about the times, and after learning that his northern neighbor Rohan and his old rival Sauron in the east had all been wiped out by someone, he didn't wait for someone to send a large army to attack him, and Dinesser II directly sent someone to deliver the surrender.
Anyway, the throne of Gondor belongs to the descendants of Essidor, and the Mardir family can only be a real and unknown regent, so for Dinethor II, submitting the surrender will not have much impact except for giving himself a nominal master.
Compared to the Holy Law God who was ambitious and ready to dominate Middle-earth, Aragorn, who was of royal blood, was a greater threat to him.
Sure enough, as an old fox in the political arena, Dinethor II made the right bet this time, and after receiving his surrender, someone gave up the plan to expedition to Gondor, but directly pardoned him as the governor of Gondor, and temporarily acted as the agent of all affairs of Gondor.
The task is to destroy or subdue all Middle-earth powers, and someone prefers to make the enemy subordinate rather than destroy.
After all, he's not a villain who does all kinds of evil, even if this is a mission world, he can't just engage in genocide, right?
Of course, a mere drop table was not enough, and Dinethor II also sent someone eight hundred cavalry, three carts of treasure, and twenty fine beauties!
Although those beauties can only be regarded as ordinary goods from someone's point of view, but for the sake of the other party's sincerity, he also accepted a large number of adults.
Let's not mention the messy things in the southern human kingdom for the time being, let's talk about the things in the valley and dense forests first!
Elrond looked at Gandalf and his party who were rushing over, and was just about to step forward to greet the other party, when he saw a figure behind him rush out with lightning speed.
"Aragorn, you've lost weight!"
The elven princess Arwen pounced in front of Aragorn, clasped his cheeks with both hands and said.
'That eye did you see this guy lose weight?' β
Jin Pi muttered quietly beside him, Aragorn, this guy is obviously a few pounds fatter than when he first met him!
"Ahemβ"
Elrond almost coughed on the side, daughter, you are also the princess of the elf clan, what kind of dignity is it to run to see a man so impatiently?
But fortunately, everyone present was all old and mature, and no one was blocking him at such a time.
"King Elrond, have you all arrived?" With a loud voice, Gandalf in white robe stepped forward and asked directly at Elrond.
Elrond also knew that it was impossible for him to separate his daughter from the stinky boy in Aragorn in this situation, so he could only pretend not to see it and respond to Gandalf.
"Thrandui of the Woodland Kingdom arrived yesterday with a two-thousand-meter elven longbowman, the dwarves of the Grey Mountains and Ironforge have also arrived, and Lord Barn of Riverdale has just arrived."
Because the magic elements of Middle-earth can no longer support the arrival of the gods of Vera in person, the gods can only use external tricks, such as issuing so-called oracles to various races, so that they can join forces to fight against the evil forces from outside.
Otherwise, with the terrible means of communication in Middle-earth, even if Gandalf broke his leg, he would not have thought of gathering all the races together to fight together in such a short time!
Of course, the so-called oracles are only useful to those who are devout believers, such as the former Regent of Gondor, the current governor of Gondor, who simply ignored the so-called oracles.
Back then, the gods couldn't even solve the problem directly with the demon lord Sauron and the giant dragon Smaug, and they still needed all races to reluctantly defeat it, and now in the face of even more evil and ferocious extraterritorial evil gods, is it of any use to expect those gods who can only support dreams?
For real politicians, it doesn't matter if they are gods or demons, as long as they can benefit themselves, they will support them unconditionally.
Giving only an illusory promise is like letting the old fox live and die, it's a pipe dream!
"So now everyone else has arrived, except for the White Empress?" Gandalf glanced at the crowd and asked.
"Hmmm! Yes! β
Elrond suddenly felt a little panicked in his heart, not only for himself, but also for his poor father-in-law!
His wife, Celebrian, is the daughter of Lord Celebrion of Roslorian and the White Empress Galadriel, but his wife, like his poor old man, is basically the backdrop for big events.
As we all know, when Gandalf first came to Middle-earth, he had an epic love story with the elven queen Galadriel, but later Gandalf resolutely abandoned his immortal body in order to complete the task given to him by the gods, and instead used a mortal body to travel in Middle-earth, so that the relationship between the two ended without a problem.
After all, the elven race's mate selection object is from the beginning, although Gandalf's soul has not changed, but he has to change his body every few decades, which makes the elf queen unacceptable at all!
You can't change your husband in a few decades, so won't it become a joke in the whole world?
So in desperation, Galadriel had no choice but to marry a background figure like Calebon and stay at home to be her elf queen.
It's just that it is said that according to some unknown sources, Gandalf and this guy will visit the elven queen every few decades to discuss magic or the reason to retrieve memories of his past life, and the visit will be several days, and the two of them will be locked up in the secret room and don't know what to study!
Of course, everyone must firmly believe that as the conscience of the wizarding world and the representative of the elven race, the two of them are definitely very pure comrades-in-arms, and they will definitely not have any ulterior secrets as some people with dirty hearts think!
It's just that although Elrond also firmly believes that his mother-in-law and Gandalf are innocent, he doesn't know why, he always feels blocked in his heart!
There was a newborn calf over there who was thinking about his cabbage, and an old guy here was thinking about his mother-in-law, and Elrond suddenly felt that this so-called meeting against the evil gods seemed to be about to turn into a family farce.
ββββββββββββββββ
"You're Aragorn? The legendary human emperor? Looking at the vicissitudes of life standing in front of him, someone asked condescendingly.
Their current location is next to the Fagong Jungle, not far from Saruman's base camp of Isengh, and not far further is the Rohan Pass, as long as they cross the Rohan Pass, there is a flat river in front of them, and there is no natural danger to stop the attack of the army!
Under the guidance of the gods, the tribes signed an agreement in Rivendell six days ago, and decided to fight together to drive the foreign gods out of Middle-earth.
After three days of research, the group finally decided to fight a decisive battle against the evil god's army at the Rohan Pass.
The main reason why this place was chosen is because the Rohan Pass is surrounded by towering snow-capped mountains, and it is impossible to squeeze in with the size of Karathan!
If Karasen forcibly wants to join the battlefield, it will lead to violent landslides and avalanches, and the coalition army will definitely have no place to bury, but the army of the evil god will definitely be wiped out!
When the time comes, the evil god will have no army, so is he ready to rely on trolls to rule the world?
I have to say that such a group of the smartest people in Middle-earth gathered together, and they did find a way to restrain the evil gods.
Although this method is very simple, plus 10,000 enemies and 8,000 self-losses, but in the absence of intelligence and time constraints, everyone can only choose this!
It's just that there is one biggest problem, that is, the evil gods can completely ignore their preparations and directly lead the army to attack from other directions, so that all their deployments will be in vain.
Therefore, as the last representative of mankind, Aragorn expressed his willingness to send the evil god army and try his best to let the evil god's army enter the Rohan Pass and fight a decisive battle with the coalition army!
As for how to deal with the evil god after defeating the evil god army?
More on that later.
