The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 102 Coping
"Boom"

A bolt of lightning broke through the black clouds in the sky, and the strong wind drove the downpour of rain, crackling and smashing on the glass windows of the lord's house in Honghe Town. The four people in the house were talking about something.

It was the distraught Malhebi who was telling his father and younger brothers what he had seen, and at the end he gave his own advice.

"Father, let everyone get ready, take advantage of the heavy rain to buy us some time, otherwise it will be too late!!"

As the lord who has been in charge of Honghe Town for decades, Herbert was a little hesitant at this time. The eldest son who had just returned home suddenly came to tell him that the Dongyi people were going to attack Honghe Town on a large scale.

Barr, who left a few days ago, told Herbert to live here with peace of mind. As long as Honghe Town continued to pay tribute every year, he would be able to guarantee the safety of Honghe Town.

These two completely different pieces of information made the nearly fifty-year-old lord fall into deep thought, but soon he chose to believe his son. The agreement between him and Barr a few years ago was just to let the residents of Honghe Town It's just that they have a stable living environment, which doesn't mean how much he trusts a Dongyi person, nor does it mean that he has the idea of ​​defecting to a Dongyi person.

Just abandoning the existing foundation and relocating the whole family to live on land hundreds of kilometers away is really hard for people to make up their minds, not to mention that the land there still has its own owner.

At this time, Malhebi has not clearly explained to his father that he is going to defect to Allen, but only said that there is a powerful lord there, and we can try to accept his asylum.

At this time, Herbert is more concerned about the safety of the residents of Honghe Town. He can't let everyone take risks with him just because he is nostalgic for the momentary comfort, and he can't rely on that one-ten-thousandth chance. There has always been a tradition of enslaving northern humans.

In fact, a few days ago, Herbert also wanted to investigate the actual situation of Barr, otherwise he would not have allowed his son to follow the Dongyi people's convoy with some strangers.

"Okay, I will arrange for Theodore to organize the migration of the villagers, and Malhebi, you are also going to help, that's all, let's all go out, I still have something to do."

"Yes, father, I will do my best."

Hearing that his father adopted his suggestion, Malhebi was overjoyed, but he did not forget to observe his two younger brothers when he was talking.

The expressions on the faces of the two of them were very natural. After hearing about the situation of the Dongyi people, they also showed anxious and nervous emotions. When they heard that Herbert adopted Malhebi's opinion, they also showed a relieved expression. , of course there is a trace of jealousy.

This kind of reaction made Malhebi murmur in his heart: "Could it be that I was thinking too much? Did they contact Barr just to continue to deal with the Dongyi people in the future? If so, that would be too much." alright!"

In Middle-earth, although there are some human beings who can dehumanize their own brothers for the sake of rights or wealth, this does not include Malhebi. As long as the people of Honghe Town can survive this disaster, he will not Mind playing on a level playing field with his own two younger brothers in a new environment.

It's just that there are some things that he has to guard against.

After Malhebi walked out of his father's room, he happened to meet Theodore. This was a middle-aged man, and he was Malhebi's uncle. Herbert has managed Red River Town for decades.

"Malhebi, are you back? Any news?" Theodore greeted his nephew with a smile.

Malhebi, who has not been back for five years, has always felt that his uncle has changed a little since he came back, and it seems that he is no longer as amiable as before.

Malhebi shook his head, and replied: "Yes, there is some bad news, Mr. Theodore, are you here to see your father?"

"Yes, I'll discuss something with your father."

"Then I won't delay you. I have something urgent to do. I'll see you later."

After speaking, Malhebi saluted and prepared to leave, but Theodore had an unnatural look on his face, because Malhebi did not answer his question, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. Said: "Well, let's go."

After speaking, Theodore walked towards Herbert's door.

Malhebi, who had taken two steps, stopped suddenly, looked back at Theodore who was about to open the door, and left after thinking for a while.

Then he found Horimion at once.

"My lord, I have successfully persuaded my father that the residents of Honghe Town will soon prepare for the migration work, but there are still some things that still need your help."

"Go ahead."

"My lord, I hope you can stop anyone who wants to go east on the only way from Honghe Town to Hongshui River. I am very worried that someone will leak the news that Honghe Town is planning to move to the Dongyi people."

Two days ago, Brendon gave Malhebi the information that the Dongyi people were already preparing to attack Honghe Town, but based on what Malhebi knew about the Dongyi people, he guessed that preparing for such a large-scale attack, The two warlords, Barr and Akkad, will inevitably move their camp to the west of the Red River, and then organize their own troops to attack Red River Town.

It is impossible for them to rest assured that their slaves, old and young, are placed next to the tigers and wolves. When the time comes, they will be lost, and no one will help them get them back.

Coupled with the fact that Horimion destroyed the bridge used by the Dongyi people to cross the river, and invisibly helped Honghe Town buy a few days, this was enough for the residents to complete the preparations for the migration.

What Malhebi is worried about now is that if someone betrays their father and son and informs the Dongyi people of the news of Honghe Town, and then the Dongyi people send a vanguard army to entangle him, then he will be in trouble.

That's why he asked Horimion to try his best to stop all those who wanted to cross the Red Water River.

Horimion glanced at the storm outside, then at Brendon who was sleeping on the bed, and said, "No problem, I'll set off right away."

After finishing speaking, Horimion turned and left without the slightest hesitation. He also hoped that this matter could be completed as soon as possible. As Alan's personal guard captain, he had been away for too long.

With Horimion's departure, Honghe Town became lively in a short period of time. Some residents who couldn't believe it gathered around the gate of the lord's house in Honghe Town in the heavy rain, hoping that their lord would come forward to explain this in person. things, and another part of the villagers immediately made preparations for migration.

For a while, the cries of children, the quarrels of adults, the neighing of livestock, and the clashing of utensils filled the entire town, seeming to cover up the sound of heavy rain.

In the midst of this excitement, five fast horses rushed out of the town with their riders, and ran towards the west along the forest road. It was the messenger sent by Herbert to inform other human gathering places, hoping that they could prepare in advance Preparation, whether it is to unite to resist, or to leave this dangerous area like Honghe Town, you can get a certain amount of time in advance to prepare.

As time passed, the dark sky gradually darkened. At this time, the clouds were still sprinkling with light rain. At a wall in Honghe Town that was overgrown with weeds, a small door that was not easy to be noticed was opened.

The two ugly guys poked their heads and looked around, and after finding nothing moving around, they led the horse and walked out from the inside. Then they nodded towards the door, got on their horses and rushed towards the west.

At this time, another flash of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating a person wearing a raincoat inside the door.

A few days later, in the banquet hall of the King of the Woodlands, Allen and Balin were discussing the alliance with Thranduil.

Even if he knew that Sauron arranged for his minions to come to the Black Forest again to stir up wind and rain, Thranduil was still in a good mood at this time. After all, he couldn't decide when Sauron would attack him. He had great confidence in defeating an opponent like the Dongyi people in the forest.

During these hundreds of years, the stubborn dwarves actually took the initiative to bow their heads to him, which made Thranduil feel that the aggrievedness he had suffered from the dwarves before had been eliminated.

Regarding the alliance, Thranduil had no objection. After all, he had an agreement with Allen a long time ago, but he directly rejected Bahrain's initiative to attack.

According to the current information, the combined forces of humans, dwarves, and elves can indeed launch a decisive battle with the Dongyi people who attacked Rovanian this time, but Thranduil, who suffered a loss just a few years ago , I don't want to do this, I can easily repel the enemy in the forest, why take the great risk to attack the enemy actively?
As for the isolated dwarves waiting for help in the Iron Hills, Thranduil, as an ally, would certainly not stand idly by. He would arrange for Legolas to lead a hundred elves on horseback, and Ellen's human cavalry to assist the dwarves in completing their relocation.

The environment of the Woodland Kingdom does not produce horses, nor is it suitable for cavalry, but Thranduil will still buy some horses from human gathering places from time to time, whether it is usually riding on horses to hunt, or sending messengers to other forces, All are needed.

Now, they are also used as troops for cover, scouting, and harassment.

Balin never thought that Thranduil could send a large army out of the Black Forest to fight this decisive battle. At this time, he was already satisfied with the support of a hundred elf cavalry.

Now that the three of them have decided to use defense as the main strategy of this war, in order to deal with the enemy's attack at an unknown time, it is natural to discuss the area to be defended.

Balin said that the Durin dwarves would naturally take the defense of the Lonely Mountain as their top priority, but after all the dwarves of the Iron Hills returned to the Lonely Mountain, he would suggest that Thorin send some of the dwarves to the location of Long Lake Town to build a temporary camp.

On the one hand, because there is a river leading directly to the lonely mountain, the dwarves have to take precautions. After all, the dwarves are not engaged in production. At this time, most of the daily necessities need to be transported from there to the lonely mountain. It's the same, this situation will last for at least a few years until River Valley City returns to its former prosperity.

On the other hand, during this period of time, more and more Durin dwarves have returned to the Lonely Mountain from all over Middle-earth. If the enemy breaks through here, it will definitely pose a threat to those dwarf teams returning sporadically. This also makes Bahrain have to consider this point. .

What Bahrain didn't mention is that if the dwarves can build a camp here, it can effectively reduce the pressure on the woodland elves and humans, even as a reward for humans and elves to assist the dwarves in relocating.

Thranduil clearly understood this point. As the most powerful force among the three parties, the woodland king said that he would immediately arrange a thousand elf soldiers to station in the Black Forest Mountains.

In the past, Thranduil led his people to live there for a period of time. Due to the arrival of Sauron, the dark forces in the Black Forest became more and more arrogant, and spiders and half-orcs often appeared near the mountains.

As a last resort, the woodland elves had to relocate to their current location. Now that Sauron has fled to Mordor, and all the evil creatures in the Black Forest are dormant, Thranduil decided to regain his former homeland, at least in the Use the terrain there again in this battle.

That mountain range leads directly to the rushing river. If ships are used, the elves' troops can quickly support the dwarves in Changhu Town and the humans guarding the dense forest road.

As for Allen, he is also under great pressure. On the one hand, he has to face the Dongyi people who invaded the eastern region of Romanian, on the other hand, he has to guard against the half-orc army that may come from Mordor. In addition, Gonda There are also thousands of orcs hidden in Bud Mountain, and he also needs to be prepared. It can be said that he is facing great military pressure.

And there are very few positions he can choose to defend, only the east end of the dense forest road is a very suitable position, where he can rely on the river to defend the eastern area, and the densely vegetated black forest forest can avoid the enemy's surprise attack and encirclement, and AI Lun also planned to have Kress establish an intelligence center there, relying on the birds flying in the air to monitor large-scale operations in the forest.

In addition, before leaving the Lonely Mountain, Sorin talked to Allen alone, hoping that Allen could help him purchase some supplies from Eriador. After all, Rovanian's current situation, I am afraid that there will be no merchants soon Will risk his life to come to Gushan to sell supplies, Sorin needs to think about his future survival.

As for food, you can temporarily borrow a batch from River Valley City. Bard has already arranged for a large number of people to do farming work. The food they store can be harvested in autumn without any problem.

It's just some other things, such as lamp oil, candles, medicines, wine, condiments, cloth, etc. These basic materials still need Allen's help to purchase.

Coincidentally, Allen just opened up the high pass after the year. Although the business in the Rovanian area has been abolished, he can pay more and buy it from Eriador. Thorin is not short of gold. Len can help with that.

Allen will not refuse this point. In fact, he himself needs to buy more food from Eriador to continue the cooperation with the three villages. It's just that these northern humans have to change from the status of construction workers Become a mercenary.

In fact, there is a lot of food piled up in the warehouse of Wilderness Town at this time, but Allen doesn't know how long this war will last, or, after the Dongyi people have finished wreaking havoc, the northern humans living in the eastern region of Rovanian , Allen is not confident whether he can return to his pre-war state, so he has to make more preparations.

Allen even predicted that after the Dongyi people launched a thorough attack, there would definitely be a large number of northern humans fleeing to the west of the Black Forest for refuge. After all, this is what the descendants of the Rovanian Kingdom did in the past.

At that time, Allen will also need a lot of food to accommodate them.

In fact, Honghe Town is already ready to migrate at this time, and the boats and carriages have already started to set off one after another, walking along the rushing river towards the dense forest road.

Hermione returned a day ago with two ugly guys.
