With the army and the territory, Li Luwei is now a little bit of population away from the founding of the country.

Speaking of population, the entire Middle-earth continent does not look at the many races, humans, dwarves, elves, half-orcs, hobbits, and tree people, but their population is really not much, with a population of more than 100,000, it is considered a big country, such as Rohan and Gondor, as for the strongest country, it can resist Mordor, which is united by other races in the entire Middle-earth continent with a single blow, and there are only more than 500,000 half-orcs.

But it's hard not to be worried.

Don't forget, in addition to those few powerful countries, there are many scattered small villages on the Middle-earth continent, they do not belong to any one country, and they are scattered throughout the continent like stars, these are all potential resources.

With sufficient food and strong military strength as the backing, Li Luan's Great Qin soon attracted some small villages nearby to defect, coupled with some robbers and bandits who were forcibly subdued, and soon, Li Luqiao's Great Qin Empire gathered a population of fifty or sixty thousand, although it was not as strong as Rohan Gondor, but in this vicinity, it was also a big force.

Fortunately, the place occupied by Li Luwei belonged to a wilderness that no one cared about, and he did not show his hostility towards Rivendell and Rohan, on the contrary, he still took the initiative to trade with the two countries, so for the Great Qin Empire, Rivendell and Rohan also chose to turn a blind eye and let the existence of the Great Qin Empire exist, besides, with such a large grain producer as the Great Qin Empire, their own people can finally eat enough, and when they are full, they have the energy to have children and increase their national strength.

The country was established, but Li Luwei did not relax.

When the country was stabilized, Li Luwei began to train his troops.

First, to adapt his 3,000 Great Qin Army to the battles in Middle-earth, and secondly, to train some local soldiers in Middle-earth, so as to supplement the Great Qin Army, after all, the Great Qin Army is Li Ji's descendant, and some battles still need cannon fodder. 【】

Li Luan, who also has a large number of alchemists, is not short of weapons and equipment, as long as there are sufficient raw materials, weapons and armor can be manufactured in a steady stream, although in terms of performance, it may not be as good as the high-quality equipment carefully built by the dwarves, but it is also many times better than the weapons and armor of ordinary humans, and it is still mass-produced.

In this way, the bandits and robbers around Great Qin have reached the blood mold, and if they are lucky, they can surrender and be absorbed by the Great Qin Empire, and the two burial places with bad luck are not there. Of course, the worst thing is those monsters and monsters, the things on their bodies can be used as witchcraft materials, and they can't even leave a corpse, and they all become the materials for the laboratories of the wizards of the Great Qin Empire, and they really pluck the feathers of the geese.

With the Great Qin Empire's conquests, the prestige of the Great Qin Empire became more and more famous, and it was not until the Great Qin Empire completely cleared the unstable factors in the surrounding area that Rivendell and Rohan officially recognized the Great Qin Empire, not only because they had missed the best opportunity to destroy the Great Qin Empire, but also because they thought that a war with the Great Qin Empire now would undoubtedly be a loss for both sides.

If Li Luxian knew, he would definitely be directly hehe, and he would lose both? Uncle killing you is the same as playing.

While Li Lu was busy building the country, on the other side of the mainland, Bilbo and his party had already experienced a series of thrilling adventures.

First was caught by the trolls, almost became someone's belly food, and then was chased and killed by a group of half-orcs, fled in a hurry, and almost died under the knife and axe of the half-orcs several times, and later was surrounded by the half-orcs in a cave, can only close their eyes and wait for death, if it weren't for the last moment there was an elf army to help, their group of people would have been confessed there.

The entrance to the cave is very high, and it is not easy to climb out if you jump down, but fortunately there is a tunnel in the depths of the cave, but I don't know where it leads, but for everyone now, it is better to go anywhere than to go out and fight to the death with the orcs, and everyone has no choice.

The tunnel is very narrow, but also very long, everyone's mood also becomes anxious with the continuous progress, finally, through a huge crack, everyone's vision suddenly opened, in the golden sunlight, a brilliant building appeared in everyone's sight.

"The Imralis Valley, as it is usually called, Rivendell, is one of the few comfortable and safe places left on the east shore of the ocean." Gandalf had a faint smile on his face.

Unlike Gandalf's smile, though, Thorin? Oak Shield's face became very ugly.

Looking up at Gandalf, Thorin's eyes filled with astonishing anger, "Is this the plan you've been having?" Gandalf! Seek refuge from the enemy!? ”

Gandalf ignored Thorin's angry eyes and looked at him very indifferently, "There are no enemies here, Thorin?" The oak shield, the only hostility that can be found in this valley, is what you brought. ”

"Do you think those elves will bless us for this operation? No, they will just stop us! Thorin stared at Gandalf, anger in his tone.

"Maybe, maybe not, but we have a question that these elves need to answer, the key to the lonely mountain." Gandalf still seemed very indifferent

Thorin was silent for a while, yes, although he had the key to enter the Lonely Mountain, he didn't know how to enter the Lonely Mountain, and this method was recorded on the map, but unfortunately, the text on the map was only understood by the elves, and it was still a very old elf, for example, the king of Rivendell, Eldron.

To be honest, the relationship between the dwarves and elves in Middle-earth is not very good, and even some... Hostile.

This is a story that goes back a long way.

A few hundred years ago, Thorin's grandfather (it seems that all races except humans live a long life, elves can easily live for thousands of years, dwarves are also hundreds of years, and Thorin was almost two hundred years old when he started his adventure), Thor founded the kingdom of Irub under the mountain. At that time, Irubor was very powerful, and Thor was revered as the king of all the dwarves, and at that time, Irubor had a powerful woodland kingdom formed by elves, and its king was named Thrandui.

At that time, Irub and the Woodland Kingdom were allies, and the relationship was not bad, there was a deal between the two countries, the dwarf king Thor promised to give Thranduy some very precious white gems, but later, for unknown reasons, Thor suddenly repented.

In this way, a rift appeared between the two sides.

Later, when the dragon Smaug attacked Irub, Thrandui refused to send troops to help, leading to the destruction of Irub.

It is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong in this matter, but anyway, the hatred between the dwarves and the elves began.

As a royal family of dwarves, for the sake of the dwarven king, Thorin is very arrogant, he is absolutely unwilling to bow to the enemy, even if the elves of Rivendell are not the same as the elves of the woodland kingdom, but in the stubborn cognition of the dwarves, as long as it is an elf, it is not a good thing.

But in order to get a way to enter the Lonely Mountain and regain the kingdom of Iruber, Thorin can only choose to bow his head.

Gandalf has a good relationship with elves, at first, as one of the five Maia who came to this world, Gandalf's real name is actually called Eugene, but because he just came to this world, he has more contact with elf humans, and he has an immortal body, so everyone calls him Gandalf, which means an elf with a staff.

However, it was later discovered that Gandalf was not an elf, because elves do not have a thick beard, so everyone knew that Gandalf was not an elf, but another immortal creature, but because of habit and love, Gandalf also acquiesced to the name.

With Gandalf as a regulator, there was no conflict between the dwarves and the elves in Rivendell, and even the elven king Eldron entertained the dwarves.

However, the discord between the dwarves and the elves is ultimately discord.

The dwarves don't like the elves, and the elves don't like the dwarves, not only because of the hatred between the two, but also because of the differences and differences in their personalities and various cultures.

The character of the dwarves is wild and bold, the character of the elves is cautious and careful, the dwarves are big and unkempt, but the elves are just the opposite, gorgeous clothing, exquisite decorations, these are the favorites of the elves, diametrically opposite nature, resulting in an almost natural discord between the dwarves and the elves, even if there is no matter of Irub, the relationship between the two races is still not friendly.

No, it was a good banquet, but it was embarrassing because of the surprise of this character.

Dwarves are particular about eating meat and drinking alcohol, but what is the elven meal? Exquisite, very delicate, delicate means a small amount, this is nothing, the key is that the elf's food is actually a plate of vegetables! I can't see any trace of meat and vegetables, which makes the dwarves very depressed, especially what makes the dwarves even more depressed is that this is the territory of the elves, and people have to bow their heads under the eaves, forget it, chew it, don't talk about it, it's all tears.

The dwarves were depressed, and the elves were equally embarrassed.

What kind of table manners, what kind of spiritual demeanor, in front of this group of dwarves, there is no at all, especially the few elven musicians who accompany the banquet, and their hearts are even more annoyed, we play so hard, or such elegant music, what do you mean by plugging your ears? Look down on me!? Do you want to fight!?

In short, the dinner was very embarrassing, and after a polite exchange with each other, Eldron hastily ended the accompaniment, and let this group of vulgar dwarves play by themselves, Lao Tzu will not serve!
