In the pre-dawn mist, boats were silently pushed into the river, heading towards the opposite shore to the sound of wood pulp paddling.

This is one of the gentler of the Anduin River, with a width of more than two kilometres, and the rapids are barely felt.

Half an hour later, a hundred small boats arrived on the east bank of the Anduin, and one by one the figures quickly disembarked, and after the boatmen, there were 600 men.

"The place is nice and can be kept as a ferry port in the future. ”

Mu Shao'an wore a small gray cloak, facing the riverbank where he had just landed, and except for him, everyone else was also wearing a gray cloak, which was very conducive to concealing his whereabouts from a distance.

This military operation had long been in his plan, but before, he did not dare to leave his castle without permission, and not long ago, the 250,000 troops of the Unicorn Legion entered the mountain fortress of Irados, the capital of the Rohanate, with the hundreds of thousands of small and medium-sized teams and lone dogs who originally stayed here, which was equivalent to allowing the Rohan Kingdom to temporarily enter a period of relative peace.

Mu Shao'an would not miss this kind of good opportunity, and immediately brought the one hundred and sixty trapped camps of the butcher, plus the two hundred and forty masters selected, and finally borrowed two hundred elite elf longbowmen from Tang Xiaoxiao.

The men were strong and the horses were strong, and they galloped all night, crossed the Anduin River, and went straight to the east bank.

Anduin is a great river that runs through Middle-earth, almost parallel to the Misty Mountains, and is a very famous river in Middle-earth, similar in nature to the Yellow River and the Yangtze River in China.

Therefore, through the Anduin River, there can be a clear geographical division, just as the Qinling Huai River divides the north and south.

Most of the main plot lines of the Lord of the Rings take place on the west bank of the Anduin River, and the west bank of the Anduin River is also like the center of the civilized world, such as Charles, Rohan, Rivendell, Lothlin Lorraine, Gondor, Isengard, and even the Denlanders, almost all of whom are located on the West Bank.

But the eastern bank of the Anduin River is obviously somewhat barren, not to mention the many evil legends hidden in the largest dark forest in Middle-earth, not to mention the infamy of Mordor on the east bank.

The most obvious point is that the west bank has the most humans, the east bank has the most dwarves, there is an elven kingdom, or the Sylvan elves are the main ones, the king is Thranduil, and his baby son is Legolas.

But the Sylvan elves are really unpopular among the major races of the elves, and even the status of commoners is okay, the real royal family in the elves is the Noldor tribe, and the nobles are the Sinda tribe.

Of course, Thranduil and Legolas are both Sinda nobles, but the Noldor princess, Lady Galadriel, in Lothrolin, is really noble, ranking first in terms of status.

Once, the east bank of the Anduin River was still very prosperous and rich, but that was hundreds of years ago, before the Dwarf Kingdom of the Lonely Mountain was destroyed by the dragon Smaug, the east bank of the Anduin River was so prosperous that many humans came to do business and even put down roots, and the town of Long Lake is the most obvious example.

Even at that time, the ancient dense forest road in the dark forest was as lively as the ancient silk road.

Sadly, Smaug the dragon changed all that.

In the current Tertiary Age 2996, the east bank of the Anduin River has been completely decayed, and the dwarves have only survived since the fall of Oak Shield Thorin, the real king, in the battle of the Five Armies, and they have no courage to open up, otherwise they would not have watched the old Bahraini lone army regain the Moria Pothole and be indifferent, which eventually led to the annihilation of the Bahraini expeditionary force.

To be honest, those dwarven tribes have some responsibility, and it is impossible to sit back and watch the lone army of Bahrain to subdue Moria!

Dwarves, at this time, no longer have the spirit of a king, and are destined to withdraw from the stage of the times.

As for the dwarven nobleman Gimli in the Lord of the Rings, it can only be regarded as a return to the past.

The Holy War of the Ring is such an important matter, and from the beginning to the end, a dwarf comes out to play soy sauce, which shows the seriousness of the problem.

How glorious the dwarves were, and how strong the dwarven armies were, that even the elven kings had to be polite to them.

In this context, many dwarf tribes choose to sweep the snow in front of their own doors, and many more have no livelihood, and the dwarves who have been scattered choose to fall and become gray dwarf tribes.

This also laid the groundwork for the tragic fate of the dwarves in later generations.

Because the Holy War of the Ring can be seen as an important event for the partition of Middle-earth.

The Demon Lord Sauron failed, and the humans got the biggest cake, followed by the elves, the Charr third, and the dwarves lost the opportunity to share the cake.

So after a few years, when the elves retreat and the Terrans prosper, the dwarves will inevitably become synonymous with evil, ugliness, and monsters, and will be hunted, hunted, and eventually likely to be completely wiped out, or they will have to hide underground forever.

A drink and a peck, the number of breaths.

Now, Mu Shao'an's target of the six hundred of them is those depraved gray dwarves, but instead of slaughtering, they go hunting, capture them back as coolies, and develop Moria Pits, although these gray dwarves are a little evil, but they are still very useful in shackles and the like.

And just when Mu Shao'an and the others secretly went to the east bank of the Anduin River, at the upper reaches of the Anduin River, at the confluence with the tributaries of the Linlai River, a large-scale fortress was in full swing.

In the future, this is the basic plate in Mu Shaoan's plan.

Once the castle is built, it will control the economy along the Anduin River, and together with the route of the Ringlay River tributary and the Moria Pothole, a commercial artery running from north to south and east to west will be formed.

——

At the same time, hundreds of thousands of virus armies were gathering in the south of the Misty Mountains, about hundreds of miles west of the fortress of Isengard, and this was only the vanguard of the retreat from the battlefield of Minas Tirith.

They are patiently waiting here, for it won't be long before the white-robed Saruman will fall completely.

"Quick, leave now, it's too late. ”

In the fortress of Isengard, dozens of members of the Menglin Legion carried a large amount of supplies from the huge mage tower, put them on the carriage, and left in a hurry, and their other identities were the disciples of the white-robed Saruman.

They can stay in Isengar until Saruman is not degenerate, but once they are completely depraved, it is impossible to stay.

——

The capital of Gondor, Minas Tirith, the wise and martial regent Dinether was full of ambition at this time, the tiger's body was shaken, and the king's spirit was vigorous, and after teaching his eldest son Boromir in his daily life, he walked into the secret room, took out the mysterious crystal ball of true knowledge, and showed a strange and magical expression on his face.

With a ball in hand, I have it in the world.
