Chapter 530: Human Resentment "2/3"
They were a team of twelve, and one night, Finrod quietly left the line with ten guards, including Belen. Heading north along the trail, they encountered a band of orcs in the middle of the wilderness, but they easily dealt with them. With Finrod's ability, he naturally wouldn't take these orcs seriously. Then, they took off the weapons and equipment of the orcs, put on their armor, disguised themselves as orcs, and then quietly headed towards the Iron Mountain Range.
However, the truth is not as smooth as it is stated above. In fact, as they quietly approached the north, Sauron had already noticed their group. Sauron was standing on the top of the mountain at the time, and when he saw the figure of a group of them, he felt very suspicious, so suspicion naturally welled up from the bottom of Sauron's heart. It was only because they were in a hurry that they did not report their work to Sauron, because all Morgoth's minions had to report to Sauron. Therefore, Sauron sent his troops to intercept them and bring the group before him.
Then there was the famous battle between Sauron and Finrod, and Finrod and Sauron competed for the power of chanting incantations, and the power of the Elven King was very powerful. Eventually, though, as is depicted in many stories, Sauron gradually gained control and recited the wizard's spell. The spell contained everything the Noldor had done before, and it was so powerful that Finrod fell to the ground in front of his black seat.
Sauron commanded them to take off their garments, so that each of them could not wear an inch, and this caused great fear in them. Although they revealed their true colors, Sauron was unable to find out their names or the purpose of their visit. Therefore, he imprisoned them in a dark and silent dungeon, threatening to put them to death with the most severe punishment unless anyone could tell him the truth. And, every few days, they would see a pair of eyes emerge in the darkness, and werewolves would eat one of their companions, but no one betrayed their king.
Although Finrod had been active on the battlefield, Sauron had never met him. Moreover, he will not think about his identity towards the level of the Elf King. In his mind, this was simply impossible, which elven king would dare to lead only twelve people into Angban? So, Sauron was still testing them to see if he could get the answers he wanted from the mouths of the different people. As a result, no one relented, and even if Sauron tried to get the news he wanted to know.
At the very moment when Sauron put Belen in prison, a great fear fell on Lucian; After going to inquire about Merian, she learned that Belém was imprisoned in a dungeon on the island of Cyren, defiled by Sauron and renamed the island of the werewolf, with no hope of being rescued. Lucien saw that no one in the world would help her, so she decided to leave Dorias and go to him herself; She goes to Daeron for help, but Daeron betrays her again and tells Singh of her plan.
Shocked and frightened when he heard this, he did not want to imprison Lucien in a place where she would not see the light of day, lest she wither and die (elves would die of extreme negativity), but he wanted to lock her up, so he ordered a hut to be built in a very tall tree, so that she could not escape. Not far from the gate of Minni Guosi, grows one of the tallest trees in the forest of Nildores; Forests of this tall mountain hairy birch grow throughout the northern half of the kingdom.
The chosen giant hairy birch, named Hirellorn, had three main trunks and extremely smooth bark, which was not high; The fork only starts at a high point above the ground. The cabin was built in the middle of the very tall trunk of the tree where Lucien was taken; The ladder to climb the hut was immediately removed, and the hut was guarded. No one could approach except Singh who could send a servant to deliver what she needed.
However, Lucien is always trying to find a way to escape from here. She magically made her hair grow extremely long, and used it to weave a robe that would encapsulate her beauty and turn her into a shadow, and the robe was full of sleepy magic. The remaining strand of hair she braided into a thick rope and hung it down from the window; They all fell into a deep slumber as the rope tail shook gently over the heads of the guards under the trees. So Lucien crawled down from the hut where she was imprisoned, wrapped in her shadow robes, and disappeared from Doriath, avoiding everyone's eyes.
At this time, a letter written by Finrod to Jiang Ning when he left was also passed to Jiang Ning. He opened the envelope, which told him how Finrod had left his line of defense and where they were going. When Jiang Ning knew that Finrod was going to Angban, he was extremely surprised, and at the same time, a wave of anger surged into his heart. He was very angry, angry that Finrod had left his post without permission, and that he had abandoned the most important line of defense and went to Angban instead. This made him extremely angry, and he quickly called in Mezros to take over Finrod's defense.
At the same time, he also urgently convened a meeting to bring together the elven prince, the elven king, the dwarven lord, and the human lord to discuss. Knowingly, things didn't turn out as smoothly as he thought, and the opposition between humans and dwarves was the loudest of them all. They were opposed to sending troops, to a war that seemed meaningless to them, and even more to having their people and their descendants die in the north because of a single man. In this regard, they are willing to maintain the status quo and hide safely within the defensive line. This result surprised Jiang Ning, but it was reasonable to think about it carefully, but it was naturally emotionally impossible for him to pass this hurdle. So, he turned to ask the elves, to which the elves replied that they would go to the rescue, even if it was to cover for them. Although they were a little reluctant and reluctant, they still agreed.
As soon as the results of the comparison came out, although everyone did not show anything on their faces. However, the distinction between the hearts and the bottom of the heart still came out. The dwarves and humans left one after another with ugly faces, and the elves watched coldly the whole time. Unbeknownst to them, a shadow lurks in the hearts of dwarves and humans, and quietly affects them. Jiang Ning didn't say much about this, and he didn't say anything about the departure of humans and dwarves. Instead, together with the elven princes and elven kings, they discussed the matter of sending troops to rescue.
And in the hearts of human beings, there is a voice that rings deep in their hearts, "Look, the elves don't trust you at all, they always want to use you as cannon fodder again and again. See their faces? They are very unhappy with your lack of help. The next time you humans are in trouble, the elves will not help you, and they will also put you at the forefront in the event of a war with others. Although, there are many of you, but this strength is not comparable to that of elves. Inenville has a good chance of winning against Morgoth, but he is keeping his line of defense intact, with the aim of depleting your human numbers so that you can continue to be their vassals. Do you calculate, after you enter the West, are you really free? ”
Humans listen to the voices coming from the depths of their hearts, and they don't know that this is Morgoth's provocation and conspiracy, but they think that this is what they think and want to say. Now, after the sound of the voice, they recalled the scene just now, and the elves were indifferent to their departure, without the slightest expression on their faces. The whole time, his face was tightly tensed, and he watched them leave indifferently. In their hearts, humanity began to worry about their future. They are worried that this kind of future will continue to appear, and at the same time, they also have a kind of resentment towards Jiang Ning. Okay, you can obviously defeat Morgoth and destroy Angban, but you have been building a line of defense here to give Morgoth a chance to recuperate again and again, the original idea is to consume our human population! For the first time, the human beings hated the tall figure, hated the elven king who had defeated the orcs many times, and it turned out that he also had the intention of enslaving us humans and continuing to serve the elves! Anger "sprouts" at this moment and grows at a very fast pace.
