The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 182 Thoughts
The elite led by Allen and Cirdan is worthy of the rumors.

And they did defeat tens of thousands of Mordor troops on the plains, but not in the plains of Pelennor.

So amidst the cheers of the people of Gondor, Allen didn't feel embarrassed at all.

This is the accessory, honor he deserves to fight against the darkness and help the Kingdom of Gondor.

And under the propaganda of Lord Turgon, most of the residents naturally knew that among these reinforcements, there were humans, elves, and even dwarves.

In the cheers of "ancient friendship still lasts forever", "the help from brothers, the kindness of gold", "that tough body also has noble character." Amid such cheers, the residents also cast a lot of cheers. petals, to welcome reinforcements to help their country.

And when they got closer, these thousands of well-armed, strong and sturdy cavalry brought the atmosphere of the scene to a new height.

Even those women and children who don't know anything about military affairs can tell that this army is elite enough to compare with the Imperial Guards guarding the city of Gondor, but its number is far more than several times theirs.

And those with a bit of knowledge discovered even more sharp-eyed that two-thirds of the reinforcements were elves, and they were full of confidence in the victory of this battle.

In Gondor's oral stories, the elves are always mysterious and powerful.

Presumably with the help of the strong men in these stories to help Gondor, the crisis in Minas Tirith will be resolved immediately, and they will be able to return to their previous stable life.

At this time, Turgon's "Keymaster" Galdor, who was in charge of welcoming the city gate, was also a member of the Council of Gondor.

Given Turgon's current physical condition, it was impossible for him to walk out of Exelion's Tower to meet his allies.

And his only son, Exelian, who is the heir to the Prime Minister of Gondor, is resisting the increasingly violent attacks of the Haradians in Osgiliath.

If possible, Turgon hopes that his reinforcements can go to the battlefield immediately to alleviate the current crisis in Gondor.

However, the pride of the Númenoreans and Turgon's self-cultivation did not allow him to do such a thing, and a grand welcome ceremony was always needed.

It is also necessary to arrange soldiers who have come from afar and let them have a good rest.

Otherwise, let the friendly army drag a tired body to the front line of the battlefield?This is extremely unwise behavior.

Most of the soldiers were placed on the first ring floor of Baicheng, which was the widest area in Baicheng, enough to accommodate thousands of cavalry.

In a short period of time, "Key Master" Galdo prepared a comfortable camp, sufficient food and boiling hot water for his allies there.

This is inseparable from the enthusiastic help of the people of Gondor, but they are willing to pay for this hard work, and when they see friendly troops, they feel that it is worth the money.

If every time the country encounters a war, they can get such strong support with such a little labor, then even in their sleep, they may laugh out loud.

After simply setting up his subordinates, Allen and his main partners embarked on the road to the feast hall.

This included Legolas, Fili, Kress, James, the tall Grim and Malhebi, as well as some middle and senior officers under his command.

There were also the Dúnedain who came to Gondor with Allen, but only the young Aragorn and Abinas followed, and most of them chose to go around the White City. Instead of attending this banquet.

After all, their high king, Isildur, was also a member of the founding kingdom of Gondor, although his residence, Minas Ithil, had been occupied by the enemy.

But standing in Minas Anor was enough for them to feel the glory of the Numenoreans, and the streets of White City tonight were very lively due to the arrival of reinforcements.

Of course, Cirdan and Lindir also took part of the elves and walked in the procession to the feast hall. They were not very interested in the human banquet.

In addition to not wanting to reject the kindness of the Prime Minister of Gondor, the elves also felt that this trip was too long.

Although the time they marched with Alan was four months at most, it has been almost half a year since they left their homeland.

After leaving their beloved homeland, most elves feel that time passes quickly and is very boring.

Especially the Noldor elves who lived in the deep valley, living outside made them feel very tired in their bodies, which was difficult to recover from.

And Cirdan, who is very old, has begun to miss his favorite sea, and Lindir also often misses the smoky and water-splashing waterfall in the valley.

Therefore, the two elves are eager to end the war, but this is not something that can be rushed, and it always needs to be done bit by bit.

Then the first step must be to learn enough information from the prime minister.

And Minas Tirith has a total of seven floors of buildings. From the first floor to the seventh floor, which is more than 200 meters high, even though the streets are wide enough for everyone to pass by on horseback, it took some time.

Alan, who was looking around, didn't feel that it had been too long. Even though he had seen many so-called high-rise buildings in his previous life, he was a little amazed at the Númenoreans' prowess in architecture.

They must have accumulated quite a lot of knowledge when they lived in Xingdao.

According to Allen's knowledge, the top of Minas Ithil's tower used to be able to rotate slowly, and the marble walls shone brightly because of the reflection of moonlight, making the moonlight and Minas Ithil's houses go up and down. white.

If there is no magical effect in such a building, then Allen may have to jokingly look for the existence of the engine.

And Aragorn, who was closely following Allen, felt a little complicated and heavy. He knew that he had the qualifications to inherit the kingdom.

But his status as a vagrant at this time does not match the high throne.

Ever since he came to this kind of city, Aragorn felt very confused, and his road ahead was gloomy.

Allen did not notice the psychological changes of young people, but this did not prevent him from talking about some of his views on the city in front of the young Aragorn.

Because of the identities of the two of them, so far, it is more of the feeling of teachers and students, and Alan thinks it is necessary to tell Aragorn more knowledge.

"Estair."

Allen called in a low voice, freeing Aragorn from his wild thoughts.

"Before this, I don't know if you have known about this city, but I think you may need to know something about its origin. When it was first established, the biggest role here was actually to defend against the White Mountains. You know that the Enemy's demagoguery is so wicked, that some of our countrymen have always been deceived into serving him, and that the Númenóreans who came to Middle-earth have entangled with them."

Glancing around casually, Allen found several enthusiastic gazes. He smiled and nodded to the surrounding residents, continuing to talk about the previous topic.

"However, those humans living in the White Mountains eventually surrendered to the mighty Gondor and swore allegiance to Isildur. However, when fighting against the great enemy, they were timid and retreated under the call of Isildur. It was a story with a tragic end, and I will tell you more about it another day."

Having said that, Allen looked back at the calm and heroic young man behind him, and suddenly had a strange idea in his heart.

There is a story about the King of the Undead, whether it is good for Aragorn or for Allen himself, this is a very important thing.

Because Allen knew that this incident was not a illusory legend, which determined whether a powerful army could play its due role in fighting the darkness.

Although they couldn't lead these undeads to attack Sauron's stronghold, they were enough to be a hole card, turning the situation on the battlefield in an instant.

It's just that this hole card belongs exclusively to the descendants of Isildur, and in today's age, only Aragorn can barely use this hole card with the reforged Nasir.

Speaking of the people of the mountains, Allen suddenly thought that if he used this hole card now, he would definitely be able to solve the crisis in Pelakir immediately, and at the same time greatly increase Gondor's right to speak on the sea. The threat of Baal pirates is resolved.

It was like cutting off Sauron's hand.

In fact, after decades of waiting, Aragorn, who grew up and was named "Thorongil", was also well aware of the threat of pirates, and personally led a team to eliminate part of the pirates' power.

But that's not thorough enough, and Gondor's sea power is still very weak, because building sea ships is an extremely costly thing.

If he can help Gondor acquire a large number of ships in this battle and restore its former maritime supremacy, then Alan can also get more help when he counterattacks Sauron in the future.

It's just that this idea lasted only a few seconds in Alan's mind, because at this moment Aragorn was wearing the long sword with the Noldor symbol on his waist, not the recast Anduril.

What Alan didn't know was that Anduril was recast by the two sons of Elrond when Aragorn left the valley.

The long sword representing the identity of the descendants of Isildur was carrying Lindir behind his back at this time, but it was wrapped around a lot of protection and was not revealed to the eyes of the world.

After Turgon's request for help arrived in Rivendell, Elrond had a long discussion with Ms. Gilraine, and both of them agreed that this war was actually a good opportunity.

If Allen can bring the Dunedain to shine in this battle, Aragorn will also be able to obtain merits in line with his status.

Then, in the glory of saving Gondor, with the help of Alan and the elves, the descendants of Isildur are likely to get back the long-lost crown.

It's just that Alan didn't know about all this. Elrond once told Lindir not to tell Alan about this.

As for Aragorn, Elrond told him that everything is up to him,
This is an opportunity for Isildur's descendants to regain the throne, and it is also a test for Aragorn. Although he is only fifteen years old, he is a descendant of the royal family, not a child of ordinary people.

Whether to seize this opportunity to inherit the throne, and whether to need the help of others, Aragorn has to think and deal with it by himself.

Elrond just provided corresponding opportunities to his adopted son.

But if you want to get back the throne, you can only rely on Aragorn's own efforts. If it succeeds, it will succeed, and if it fails, it means that the time is not ripe.

It can only be said that Aragorn does not yet have the ability and character to inherit the throne.

In other words, fate has not yet come to favor Aragorn.

"In fact, Minas Tirith is very important to Gondor and to the entire Middle-earth. If it does not stand here, the enemy's claws will continue to extend. By then, All nations that love peace and a stable life will be threatened, and now it has stood here for more than 2000 years and has made great contributions to resisting darkness."

No matter how confused Aragorn's thoughts were, Allen still told the young man behind him about the White City.

And, at the end of the words, Allen said in a low voice: "If you have the opportunity, I suggest that you live here for a period of time after you become an adult, to understand how this country works, and at the same time pay attention to the thoughts of the people and nobles. You are still young, and you may not know how important this information is to a leader who is in charge of one side. If you want to master it, you must first understand it, otherwise it will only be a castle in the air, without the slightest foundation."

When Allen said this, he just gave Aragorn a vaccination, because he could foresee that Aragorn would definitely live here for a period of time in the future.

And after going through this war, this time is likely to be much earlier, so Alan thinks it is still necessary to put forward some suggestions that he thinks are more important to the young Aragorn at this time.

If you want to manage a country well, especially a human kingdom like Gondor with a complex nation and a vast territory, it is far from enough to rely solely on the knowledge obtained in the valley. Understanding and learning is the only way.

It's just that these words were passed into the ears of the young Aragorn, but they were no less than a thunderbolt.

At this moment, he even thought that the knowledgeable teacher already knew the plan buried deep in his heart, and the heavy burden brought by the plan.

After being surprised, Aragorn was a little relieved. Since the teacher suggested that he come to live here when he became an adult, the meaning in the words naturally wanted to tell himself.

Now, it is not an opportunity to take back the throne of Gondor. I still need to wait and grow.

Thinking of this, Aragorn nodded earnestly to Alan to express his gratitude, and a smile from the heart appeared on his calm face, as if a high-spirited young man had found his way forward.

But Galdo, the "Key Holder" who has been leading the way, was very puzzled. He didn't quite understand why this human king from the northern country knew so much about Baicheng.

It's just that he didn't ask any questions because of such doubts, but silently performed his responsibilities, and brought everyone to the banquet hall on the seventh floor of the city.

At the gate of the banquet hall, two tall elders and a younger young man were waiting for a group of people to arrive.

　In fact, I think Elrond's treatment of Aragorn is very strange. At the beginning, he was afraid that Aragorn would die young, so he hid him in the valley and raised him until he was 20 years old. This is very normal, but After that, I let Aragorn go out to travel. I don’t think it’s unreasonable for Aragorn to go out to take risks. This is a normal thing. I just think it’s hard to grasp Elrond’s mind. To release it so early, you must know that Aragorn has encountered many dangers in recent years, and before the end, isn't Elrond worried about Aragorn's accidents?I don't understand the logic of this plot design.It can't be said that if you conceal your name, your life will not be in danger.
