The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 125 Diplomacy and Construction

Human emotions are complicated. When you break your stereotypes, your attitude will change extremely quickly. For example, Sengar, who has just stayed in Rovanian for about ten days.

It only took a few days for the first heir of Rohan to change his attitude towards Allen from being slightly dissatisfied to seeing each other late.

Looking at his father who lived extravagantly since he was a child, and then serving as the Prime Minister of Gondor for more than ten years, he has seen many human lords of all kinds, Sengar, and it is the first time he has seen a simple life like Allen.

Through this period of observation, Sengel learned that Wilderness Town has at least nearly [-] residents, and with so many citizens, Allen only lives in a three-story house that looks inconspicuous That's all.

Not to mention that compared with the highest-level "King of Gondor" in Minas Tirith, even his father's Meduseld is much more magnificent than the place where Allen lives. It is similar to the place where the richer manor owners live in Gondor.

There is only one personal maid around, and most of the others are servants responsible for cleaning the house, and the clothes on their bodies are not luxurious, and only the set of equipment for war is really expensive, and it is extremely rich. The style, even in Gondor, is rare enough. As for the Kingdom of Rohan, even the king's treasury does not have such exquisite armor.

There are fourteen sets of such armors that Sengel saw here, but these armors are used to save lives on the battlefield. Even if the cost is high, Sengel does not think it is a waste. Life is more precious.

In contrast, the living standards of the lords of Gondor far surpassed Allen's. The castles in the territory can also be said to be due to the profound family background, but every time they come to Minas Tirith to attend a banquet, the following The countless servants who live here are enough to show that they are far inferior to this new friend in terms of thrift.

Regarding frugality, Sengel also has his own views. When a commoner eats ordinary meals every day, it is not considered frugal, because that is the standard of living he can do his best, and a lord Owning castles and servants, eating exquisite food for three meals a day is not considered a luxury, as long as one does not exploit others for the sake of a luxurious life and affects the development of the territory or the country, it is not considered a big deal.

However, his father Finger and the friend he just met seem to be in an extreme state respectively. Through communicating with the residents living in the wilderness town, Sengel understands that the living standards of the people here are quite good, and there is no comparison. How bad is the average resident of Minas Tirith.

Moreover, all kinds of gossip circulating in the wilderness town tavern all show that the lord here is quite rich. Countless gold and silver seem to have been moved from the hall of the lonely mountain to the treasure house of the wilderness town. Second, the reward for the northern humans after the great battle in the lonely mountain.

In other words, as the lord of Wilderness Town and extremely rich, Allen actually has enough strength to live a better life, but he didn't. Instead, he used various policies to divert more wealth The flow is given to the people under the rule, making the lives of ordinary residents better and better.

This is in stark contrast to Senger's father, who was no stranger to the marshals of Rohan because of his occupation of various interests.

The longer he lives here and the more he knows about his new friend, the more Sengel favors Allen in his heart. Two days before leaving, the two have almost become good friends who cherish each other.

For Sengar, Allen actually has a good degree of affection. According to Allen's thinking, when he builds the castle to Dol Guldur in the future, in a sense, he and Rohan are already natural. neighbors and allies.

Moreover, most of the people under Allen's rule came from the northern humans of the Rovanian Kingdom. If you trace back to the source, it is true that they were in the same family with Rohan 500 years ago, and the family tree is uncertain. How can such a relationship be involved.

Regardless of these geographical and historical factors, Senger is a man worth making friends with. The first heir to the throne of Rohan, the gold content of this identity does not need to be discussed, and his behavior and conversation are also considered polite. He is also very sincere in dealing with people.

From the very beginning, Allen felt that faint sense of alienation from Senger. This kind of performance shows that this person is not hypocritical, and if he doesn't like it, he just doesn't like it. I'll tell you directly, I don't need you Come figure out.

These people are relatively easier to deal with.

There is actually a negative image beside Allen, that is Stephen, the former mayor of Changhu Town. From the perspective of character, Allen knows that he is a bastard, but what he shows is very harmless. More powerful.

This caused Alan to come up with no good reasons for wanting to target him. He couldn't put a "unnecessary" charge, he didn't want to change his surname, and he was not the eldest in the family.

Moreover, after the two people gradually got to know each other and untied their knots, Sengel also immediately changed his attitude, and explained to Allen the previous faux pas.

In fact, Gandalf praised Alan as unparalleled in the world in front of Turgon and the members of the Council of Gondor in the Tower of Exelion. Sengar, who was standing aside and listening, naturally had a lot of speculation in his heart. This caused a huge gap between what he saw and what he expected when he came to Wilderness Town.

After all, Wilderness Town is a town established only a few years ago. Although it has developed rapidly, it certainly cannot be compared with Minas Tirith, which has been around for thousands of years, or Edoras, which has a history of hundreds of years. It is normal for Senger to have some doubts about Gandalf's words.

Of course, the thousands of kilometers of trekking through mountains and rivers did kill Sengel's few good moods. This is because he grew up in Karen Nasson and is extremely familiar with the surrounding environment. The Marshals of Rohan who came all the way, He also took good care of the team led by his prince, which made Sengel rush from Minas Tirith to Wilderness Town non-stop for more than two months.

He was able to arrive here safely, thanks to the great battle that took place in Gushan years ago, and the big bosses of the Baidao Society for paying Dol Gudo, otherwise, his team of more than a dozen people would have easily He will be chased by the arrogant half-orcs in the past.

It is foreseeable that if he wants to return to Minas Tirith, Sengar has to go through this process again. He also has his own concerns. In fact, Sengel is not particularly willing to go to the kingdom of Rohan. Traveling, he was worried that his father, who was already a little delirious, would force him to do something.

After all, his old father was over 70 years old at this time, and the relationship between the two had reached a certain level. Even if it was his own wedding, Sengel was unwilling to invite Finger to participate. Forcing Edoras to be brought back will directly affect Sengel's wedding next year, and he will have nowhere to cry.

At this time, Turgon, who was nearly 90 years old, naturally couldn't understand such a detailed understanding of his shrewd and capable subordinate. He just thought that the relationship between Sengar and his father was stiff, but in the end it was Father and son, how could the relationship be worse?That's why the task of contacting and observing this time was entrusted to Sengel.

The task arranged by his master cannot be refused, but this cannot prevent Sengel from being in a bad mood, so it is natural that he had a bad attitude towards Allen at the beginning, and he has some understanding of Sengel's life Allen thought about all this in a short period of time, he didn't care about these things, and tried some means to make Sengel change his attitude towards himself.

The effect is also better than he imagined.

In Allen's view, building a good relationship with his neighbors in the same camp is something a qualified king must do, and dealing with Sengel is much easier than dealing with Finger, that extremely money-greedy guy , In fact, a messenger was sent over two months ago, but the conditions put forward were simply unacceptable to Alan.

The old king mentioned in his letter that if he wanted Rohan to support Rovanian, Alan would at least have to pay a wealth that could fill an entire hall.

Although I don't know where this buddy learned that the Wilderness Town now has a lot of gold and silver treasures, but Allen will definitely not be used to this kind of behavior of taking advantage of the fire.

After entertaining the Rohan hussars who delivered the letter well, Allen asked Jamila to write a tactful letter of rejection and asked him to take it back. The matter was over, and Allen was not worried at all. How many years can Finger live if he offends the current King of Rohan?A good relationship with his son Senger is the right way.

Then, within two months, Sengel came with a letter from the Prime Minister of Gondor. It can only be said that this is fate.

In a hurry to return to Gondor, Senger, who had been observing Wilderness Town for a period of time, also felt that the task was almost completed, so he chose a morning when the temperature was not so cold, bid farewell to Allen and prepared to return to the south.

Alan, who knew why Sengel was in a hurry to go back, did not keep his new friend, but what surprised him was that when Sengel was about to leave, he formally invited Allen, hoping that he could be in the Next year's Harvest Day, September 2943st, T.A. 9, went to Gondor for his wedding to Maven.

Facing the friend's kind invitation, Allen readily agreed, but at the same time he also said that Rovanian is in troubled times. If he really can't get away at that time, he will arrange an envoy to celebrate Sengel's death on his behalf. wedding.

Of course, Sengel knows how busy his daily work is as an excellent leader who manages a piece of land, not to mention that there is still the enemy Pan Heng at his door. Alan can make such a promise, which is enough for him Then, under the watchful eye of Allen, the team from Gondor set foot on the way home.

With Sengel's departure, Alan's life has entered a busy state again. Busy here does not mean that there are too many documents to sign, or that trivial tasks need to be handled by him, the king himself. With the development of time and the popularization of education, the officials under the cabinet have been perfected and have a set of effective ways of doing things. It is no longer like before, where workers need to pay attention to everything they eat.

Most of Allen's time was actually wasted on the road. The reconstruction of River Valley City and Long Lake Town, the transformation of Steele Mining Town and the fortification of Heidelberg were going on at the same time. Also need to understand.

So in the past half a year, he did not stay in Wilderness Town for a long time, but ran around in various territories. At present, the construction of River Valley City has almost come to an end, and the former high tower and clock tower have almost been restored. , and some people started to take care of the fields in the valley, and restored the abundance and affluence of the past. It is estimated that by next summer, the reconstruction work of River Valley City will almost be completed.

After half a year of reconstruction, Changhu Town has also built a basic city wall at the location designated by Allen. At this time, the enemy is currently facing, and repairing anything is safer than repairing the city wall, but the area covered is very large. It is huge, and the construction speed of the brick city wall is not much faster. According to Bard's estimation, it will probably take until the end of next year to complete the repairs. However, the port has almost been repaired at this time and can be put into use.

On the contrary, after such a long period of construction, Heidelberg already has a certain defensive capability. The sentry tower on the city wall is enough to overlook a large area on the other side of the river. It can be used as a standard fortification to resist the enemy's attack, but the area is still small. Small, the villagers of Caroline built a village near the castle, and based on the original foundation, they reclaimed a lot of land and settled there.

In Allen's view, Heidelberg is very much in line with the castle defense system of the Middle Ages. In times of crisis, the villagers hid in the castle with their families and property, and waited until the enemy left to come out and start their lives again. , This situation happened countless times in Western Europe in the Middle Ages, and the lords living in that land relied on this method to resist the invasion of the Vikings.

It’s just that the castle built by Allen was not purely to protect the property and lives of the people in the war. It must also be guarded here like a nail, guarding the entrance of Allen’s base camp. The connection point between the east and west regions.

So Allen has arranged another task for Tyre, which is to build another castle on the opposite side of the running river, and then connect the two castles with a bridge, imitating the Luanhe City in the inter-riverland of the mainland of Vestatro , Allen thought that castle was very interesting very early on, and now he also has the idea to build one by himself.

This will not only facilitate the passage of merchants or troops in the future, but also facilitate the entry of Ailu's forces into the eastern region of Rovanian. Of course, these things must wait for Dongyi to be defeated.

After all, these guys wouldn't just watch Allen build a castle on the other side of the river.
