The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 166 Arrangements Before Going South
When Allen and the others left the Black Forest and entered the Anduin Valley along the Elven Trail, the heavy snow had stopped for several days, and the sun had been seen in the sky for a long time, but the temperature was even lower at this time, compared to It will be colder until it snows.

Fortunately, the Anduin Valley is protected by the Black Forest and Misty Mountains, and the wind blowing here is far less violent than in the wilderness.

And what is even more pleasing is that as everyone continued to move forward, some residents living in the farm began to spontaneously clear the snow on the road, so as to maintain smooth traffic between the farm and the wilderness town.

And when those hard-working people found someone carrying their king's crown and three-star flag, they began to salute the cavalry in the middle of the road, and some conscripts who returned home, when they saw Alan's figure, There were bursts of cheers.

Although he didn't appear many times in front of the people, Allen's deeds all the time gave him a very high reputation in the countryside.

And it wasn't the Twilight Knight who was carrying the king's flag, but a Kujit boy from the horse-wrangling village, named Asodan.

He is Tuo Ju's son, and also the person in charge of a surveillance post.

This outpost is located between the horse herding village and the elf trail. More than a dozen young herdsmen equipped with horses monitor the vast area nearby.

When Alan led the team just stepped out of the elf trail, Asodan recognized the identity of the king, and hurriedly took out the spare king's flag from the outpost, and prepared to ride back to the wilderness town with His Majesty the king on horseback.

Anyway, this is also a large-scale cavalry unit. If there is no familiar identification, it will easily disturb the working residents, and at the same time, a large-scale cavalry unit will surround it.

Asodan was carrying the banner at this time, and followed Alan very excitedly. This young man was very willing to take such a trip. No matter what Alan's impression of him was, after returning, he would have a lot more to spend The capital to show off in front of the friends.

Allen noticed the people who greeted him from the very beginning. He really wanted to stop and chat with his people to find out whether this heavy snow, which had not been seen in decades, had caused any harm to their lives. Impact.

But Alan's time is really tight. Thousands of troops are waiting for his arrival in Wilderness Town. In desperation, he can only stop occasionally, nod to the people, and then leave here quickly.

By the time they returned to Wilderness Town, it was already noon the next day. Jamila, who got the news from Karlyan's post, had led some cabinet officials early, waiting for Allen's return.

The Kujit boy who was carrying the king's flag bid farewell to his king with a look of reluctance, while Allen said to him with a smile: "Asudan, the son of Tuoju, are you A clever young man, if you like, can come to my service with your father's permission."

Hearing such news, Asodan went home happily, and the cabinet officials who heard these words would prepare the corresponding documents and send them to Muma Village to be handed over to Tuoju.

After dealing with this trivial matter, a group of people entered the city.

This time Allen led his army into battle, and with the help of dwarves and elves, he dealt a heavy blow to the Dongyi people entrenched in the east of the Black Forest.

And what about myself?No matter in terms of the results of the battle, the capture and its own casualties, it is enough to be called a brilliant victory.

So Fatis and Allen, who came back one step earlier, made a suggestion to Yamila. They believed that such a victory should organize a grand triumphal ceremony for Allen and the soldiers who fought, so that Allen Ren's reputation is celebrated by every single person in the Rovanian Kingdom.

The sense of honor brought to the soldiers by the triumphal ceremony can also arouse the enthusiasm of domestic residents to serve as soldiers, laying a stronger foundation for future war mobilization.

Fatis and Allen have gained a certain understanding of this world after ten years of understanding. Middle-earth is indeed as promised by Allen, and it is not as turbulent as Calradia.

But this place is not without any danger. All nations who love a stable life share an evil and dark enemy, that is the demon king Sauron.

And the monarchs of the two of them have always stood at the forefront of fighting against darkness, so the two agreed that maintaining strong force is the policy that this country needs most at present, and force is not only weapons and equipment, but also the enthusiasm of the people for war. important.

Jamila didn't object to the proposal of the two, but she didn't agree with it either. She just said that such an important matter needs the permission of His Majesty the King before starting preparations.

As Alan's prime minister, or to put it more simply, as Alan's housekeeper, Jamila felt that this was a bit too extravagant and wasteful.

You must know that in the past, Allen has always been very generous to the soldiers, not to mention the salaries of those professional soldiers. After each victory and return, the gold and silver in the warehouse can be made into medals or used as bonuses No matter what, there will always be a lot of them thrown out.

Especially for those soldiers who were injured or sacrificed, they paid a lot of compensation.

Jamila thinks that these are enough, and there is really no need to hold any grand triumphant ceremony. She thinks it is a waste, and she has never organized corresponding activities, so it can be said that she has no experience at all.

If something goes wrong accidentally, it is a very dangerous thing for an event where tens of thousands of people gather.

In the end, this proposal was placed on Allen's desk, which made him feel a little surprised.

It's not that there is anything wrong with the actions of these three people. Allen knows that from the perspective of the three of them, this is a good thing. Not to mention all of them, at least part of them are thinking for themselves.

It just made him feel a little ironic that the military forces under his command finally began to have the confidence to wrestle with the government forces. The army costs money, but in the past, if this matter had been rejected by Jamila , Generally, there is no chance to put it on your desk.

But as the battles continue to win, Jamila will naturally pay more attention to the needs of these soldiers, and when the soldiers win the battle, they will naturally want to get more, gold, land, rights, or honors. very normal thing.

This time Fatis and Allen wanted to win honor for the soldiers who fought, that is, an opportunity to show their faces in front of the general public. Allen didn't intend to spoil the interest of the two of them, because it didn't cost much , and it was Alan himself who showed his face the most in this ceremony, because he was a king who led his soldiers to victory.

However, Allen still rejected the proposal at this moment, because the timing was wrong, and Allen was about to lead his troops south, the war between Gondor and Mordor, the elf cavalry led by Lindir, and Kiel in Los Lorien Neither Dan nor Estel had time to wait for the cabinet to organize the ceremony.

If Allen himself cannot participate, then at least half of the meaning of this ceremony will be lost. For Jamila, who has absolute power after Allen leaves, the meaning of this ceremony without Allen's participation is only It's done.

In the end, Allen could only tell Fatis and Allen that the triumphal ceremony could not be done in this urgent period, and it needed to wait.

However, although the ceremony is gone, the rewards must be given out. In addition to the regular rewards, pensions and medals, Allen also rewarded him with hundreds of Dongyi captives for his subordinates who have become lords. He cleared the land near Heidelberg and did chores.

It's not that Allen is unwilling to give more, it's just that with the power in Allen's hands, he can barely control these people. If there is more, Heidelberg can't suppress it at all unless he adopts slavery similar to Sauron's. Dongyi people.

There were nearly ten thousand Dongyi people who surrendered on the battlefield this time. For Allen, they were all valuable labor force, and the warehouse in Wilderness Town had a large amount of food, which was enough to feed them.

But there are still some problems that need to be solved, that is, the original population of Wilderness Town is too small, there are only more than 2 people, and the number of newborn babies is less than [-].

If it is still in the war at this time, it is easier to manage, just imprison it.

But after the war, how to properly arrange these Dongyi people and manage them reasonably became a big problem.

After some thinking, Allen finally decided to deal with the nearly ten thousand captives in a way that can only be used in Middle-earth, that is, judging people by their appearance.

Very helpless, but it may also be the most effective method.

For those who are not ugly, let them stay and let them work in the Anduin Valley with some simple control methods to offset the crimes they once committed.

When a certain time limit is reached and they perform well enough, these people will be released from their status as war criminals, and they can even find a decent place in the Anduin Valley for them to survive. If they want, they can let the next generation be Allen Serve, in order to completely change the fate of the family.

As for those who are not too ugly and are still obedient, Allen also intends to let them work in the Anduin Valley, but the supervision must be stricter, and those who perform well can get preferential treatment, but Allen never intends to give them An opportunity to wield weapons and power.

As for those who are particularly ugly and rebellious, then go to Steele Mining Town to dig mines to redeem their sins. There are closely guarded by soldiers and there is an extreme lack of labor, which is exactly the position suitable for them.

This method is used because Allen knows that in Middle Earth, humans who are inherently evil, or who are prone to surrender to evil, generally look ugly, while those who are tough and willing to embrace the light are long-term. It's not ugly.

Some powerful individuals can hide their true colors after their power reaches a certain level, but human beings are far from being that powerful.

Of course, this method may only be applicable to human beings, and it can only be barely used to identify those who are particularly easily bewitched by evil, such as being lazy, not motivated, and greedy for food. These bad habits cannot be identified. from.

Moreover, when Sauron was killed in person, even a particularly good-looking human being might not be able to last long. This is a gap in strength, and the Númenoreans may have a deep understanding of this.

In the final analysis, this kind of thing may be because when the sun first rose, the human beings who had just awakened in Hildorien were targeted by the evil Morgoth. Sowed in the hearts of these second-born children.

Some human beings came to their senses and fled, a few became the Edenites in the future, most of the others were scattered throughout the Middle-earth, and those who did not wake up became the minions of Morgoth.

Under the influence of dark forces, human beings can easily become ugly, vicious, gloomy and suspicious. In fact, not only these human beings who were bewitched by Morgoth from the beginning, Allen believes that the people who have lived on Middle-earth until now Creatures are also affected by Morgoth all the time.

Because as early as a long time ago, Morgoth scattered his power into Arda, polluting every plant and tree in the world. Living in such an environment, the elves with long lives have the strongest feeling , Their souls are constantly being eroded, while their bodies are weakened under such circumstances until they are completely consumed.

And at that time, the elves' souls will return to the Mandos Hall in Valinor. However, among the three elves, the power of the water ring and the air ring can protect some elves from this disaster, and Allen believes that, The Silmarillion might also have this effect, after all, it contains the light of the Two Trees.

However, due to the extremely short lifespan of human beings and weak natural strength, the dark power that Morgoth disperses into Arda will affect their hearts more. Human beings with a tough heart can be immune to the influence of Morgoth and can maintain With a good face.

And those who are fragile and easily bewitched, or who are naturally fond of doing bad things, will soon become extremely ugly under the influence of dark forces, such as the old man who was beaten by Allen in Breeham Bill has a vicious and ugly face.

Allen, who knew all this, had no better way to deal with those Dongyi captives by judging them by their appearance. In any case, it could not be during the period when he left Wilderness Town, because the problem of captives appeared. chaotic situation.

For this reason, Allen still made second-hand preparations, that is, he did not intend to disband the conscripts, but let one-third of them take turns to go back to visit relatives on vacation, and the rest were maintained with professional soldiers. For stability in the territory, at least an army of more than 3000 people should be retained to control the Dongyi captives who had just surrendered.

As for the unmanaged land in the conscript's family, let the Dongyi people who have become war criminals be responsible for farming. This situation must be maintained at least until Alan returns from Gondor.

Regarding the arrangement of going south to Gondor, Allen also had some thoughts on the way back. Since the distance from Wilderness Town to Minas Tirith is extremely long, the straight-line distance must be at least more than a thousand kilometers, so he did not think about it. He planned to take the infantry who could not ride long distances, but instead brought the four hundred heavy cavalry and more than 100 adult knight apprentices.

The 15 assault cavalry composed of northern rangers are led by Abinas. After Rose Lorien, the command should be transferred to the [-]-year-old Estel, but in name , They are still Alan's subordinates.

However, Alan didn't intend to forcefully command them during the battle, because after the battle with the Dongyi people, the deal between the two parties had ended, and the Dunedan people had no responsibility to serve Alan.

As for those weapons and equipment, even if Allen lent them temporarily.

Allen's original plan was to pay these Dunedan people some rewards after the battle, and now let's offset the rental costs of these weapons and horses.

After all, this is more than 500 horses, [-] elven longbows, [-] pairs of elven plate armor and [-] pairs of smock and chain armor. Like those poorer Gondor lords, they might not be able to get these things together .

Alan thought about it, but in the end he was not willing to give it to the people of Dunedain as a gift. He is not rich now.

　As for the rewards for soldiers after the war, or the distribution of medals and pensions, I won’t go into detail about this category. You know that in the protagonist’s country, there are such arrangements for soldiers, because these things are easy to write. Trouble, if you are not careful, it will involve financial and economic issues. It is problematic to deal with it, because the economy in Middle-earth is very chaotic. I try to avoid writing this, and generally I will live with enough money for them. to vague descriptions.

　　In addition, the influence of the power of Morgoth on humans and elves, part of which is set up by myself, I hope everyone will not go online, that's it, please ask for a monthly ticket, big brothers, pitiful and pitiful, I can't see it all day long A few monthly tickets, I'm about to cry.
