The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 183 Banquets and Meetings

Of the three, the one on the far left was Turgon, the prime minister of Gondor. He was tall but a little stooped at this time. He held a silver-white scepter in his left hand and poked it heavily on the marble floor.

The old man, who was suffering from illness, was trying his best to support his body, making an act that fit his status and was full of sincerity.

At this time, Turgon looked at the allies who were getting closer, with a heartfelt smile on his pale face.

The crisis of Gondor's destruction of the country can be regarded as lifted.

On the right side of the old man is a tall and strong young man. This is Denethor, who is sixteen years old this year, the youngest male of the Hurin family.

Although he bent down to support his grandfather, his handsome face was still raised high, a pair of gray-blue eyes looked around at the people who came, and the expression on his face was neither sad nor happy, as if everything in front of him , can't affect his thoughts at all.

And the one standing on the far right is Gandalf who left without saying goodbye after reaching Edoras.

The gray-robed wizard who came to White City immediately integrated into the residents, observed the development of the situation, and tried his best to inspire the people of Gondor and regain their self-confidence in resisting evil.

Judging from the performance of the people of Gondor, Gandalf successfully aroused hope in the hearts of the people with the help of the arrival of reinforcements.

And when everyone came to the door of the feast hall.

"Key Holder" Galdor was the first to come to Turgon's side, and introduced the guests one by one for his prime minister.

"This is Lord Cirdan, the ruler from Linton, and it was he who received your letter."

Following Galdor's introduction, Turgon tremblingly bowed slightly to Cirdan, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "At such a critical moment, on behalf of the people of Gondor, I thank you for your kindness, and thank the elves for their kindness to us. aid."

Cirdan nodded slightly, and responded with a calm face: "The light of friendship has always shone between humans and elves. We have fought against the darkness together. Today is the continuation of the past friendship and a new beginning. "

And Lindir on the side also said: "Lord Elrond of the valley asked me to bring a message. There was an ancient covenant between humans and elves. In the past, we lived and died together on the battlefield. Today, I also It’s a pleasure to fight alongside you again.”

Galdo continued to introduce: "This is the elf from the valley, Lord Lindir."

"Thank you for the help of the valley to Gondor, we must remember it in our hearts."

Facing Turgon's thanks, Lindir nodded and didn't say much.

For the elves, the lifespan of human beings is too short. Maybe in the blink of an eye, the old man in front of him has left Arda.

As long as there are options, Lindir doesn't really want to remember them.

For him, if the friendship with humans reaches a certain level, it is actually a kind of pain.

At this time, Gandalf, who was standing quietly by the side, came to Alan's side.

He introduced to Turgon with a smile on his face: "Please allow me to introduce you next. This is the young man I mentioned to you, Alan from Rovanian. He heard that Gondor is in trouble. He also led troops thousands of miles away to support, and the dwarf next to him was the heir of the Lonely Mountain King, Fili, and the young elf was the son of the elf king Thranduil, Legolas. .”

Before, Turgon knew that there were northern humans and dwarves among the reinforcements, and he also knew who the leader who led the army was.

Now that Gandalf had said this, Turgon thought of more things.

Not long ago, I seemed to have written a letter to the young man in front of me, promising to help him deal with the Dongyi people who harassed the border.

But now, the young man came to support Gondor with his elite troops.

As the current Prime Minister of Gondor, Turgon had obtained more detailed information from his subordinates early on.

The young man brought all the elites. In addition to more than 300 heavy cavalry equipped with armored cavalry, there are also nearly [-] sudden cavalry. This is already quite a force.

Moreover, Turgon, who has a vicious vision, can see from the beginning that the three people introduced by Gandalf are a force.

Whether it is the heir of the Lonely Mountain King or the son of the Elf King, they are all dominated by the human beings in front of them.

Such a phenomenon has never appeared in ancient poetry.

This had to make the old man's heart full of curiosity.

Could it be that this young man of his own has already established a prosperous human kingdom in the north?
No matter how surprised he was in his heart, Turgong did not show the slightest clue on his face, but forced himself to say with a smile on his face: "Little friend, my blood relatives, never thought that they could be here at this moment." Meeting you, no matter what, I am very grateful for your help, but has your trouble been solved?"

Allen replied solemnly: "Thank you for your concern. My troubles have returned to the East. Now, it is time to solve the troubles in Gondor. In the era of rising darkness and turbulent times, I hope that our two countries will always be together." They can all watch and help each other.”

"sure."

While talking, Turgon looked at Aragorn beside Alan with some doubts, and asked, "Who is this?"

Allen pulled Aragorn to his side, and introduced to Turgon with a smile: "This is my relative and also my student. His name is Estel."

The young Aragorn did not show any satisfaction, but saluted the old man very generously. Turgon nodded with a face of relief.

For a moment, he seemed to see a light on the young man's forehead, but it was fleeting.

For a moment, Turgon felt that he might be a little old and dizzy.

Turgon knew that the blood of Númenor of the house of Hurin was thin, and most of them would not live a hundred years.

I am old, old.

But this is not a good time to be emotional. After a simple conversation, the stars have slowly appeared above the sky, and the banquet began at this moment.

Although the banquet was prepared hastily, the wine and dishes were not shabby. Lord Turgon had already tried his best to entertain his allies.

Amidst the sound of the music, Allen was talking softly with Gandalf beside him.

"Gandalf, my friend, I heard that the master of Orthanc is also here. If I meet him, would you mind if I take back the humiliation I suffered in Lothlórien?"

Gandalf was surprised when he heard this, and then said with a smile:
"Alan, I never thought that the resentment between you has reached such a point. In fact, I don't particularly want to stop you, but please see that you are on the same front, and don't embarrass him for now. After this war is over, there are still opportunities."

Allen said with a narrow smile: "After the war is over, this guy will probably run back to Orthank and close the door to make his ring. Should I call the door to ask for an explanation? By the way, where is he now?"

Gandalf nodded understandingly. He also knew that if it hadn't been for Turgon's request, Saruman would never have been able to get out of that tower.

"He should be in Osgiliath now, by the side of Turgon's son Exelion. It has been rumored in the city recently that there are more evil forces coming from there, and the assistance of wizards is needed. Saruman has long been let's go."

Allen nodded. In any case, Saruman has made a lot of contributions in this war that took several years, but he doesn't know if his inflated desire to rule will change.

At this moment, it was Galdo the "Key Holder" who presided over the entire banquet and entertained the guests, and the young Denethor was also assisting at the side.

As far as Turgon's physical condition is concerned, it is already very good to be able to come out and meet everyone.

While Alan was talking with Gandalf, James walked over from the side. He was instructed by Alan to help see Prime Minister Turgon's physical condition.

And Turgon also heard about James' name from Sengar, and knew that he was a doctor with superb medical skills, and even Fengel who was paralyzed in bed could be saved.

So he didn't mind letting James diagnose it for him.

James, who had just sat down, saw the two of them staring at him. He shook his head and said, "No, the prime minister of Gondor doesn't have enough vitality to complete the treatment. If I force the treatment, he may Will die at my hands, he is not only troubled by disease, in order to deal with this war, the old man has burned his life."

After Allen heard it, he silently dismissed the idea of ​​using his ability to heal him.

His ability can indeed restore injuries and diseases, but it also needs the vitality of the sick and wounded to support it.

If one is not careful, the current prime minister of Gondor dies in his own hands, this matter will be completely unclear.

Maybe I have to fight Gondor before I start the war with Mordor.

Such mistakes must never be made.

Just as Allen shook his head regretfully, the young Denethor stood in the corner of the banquet, looking at the two people who were talking.

This young heir to the prime minister also knew that his grandfather had reached the end of his life. Many doctors in Gondor had tried it, and the results were the same.

Even Turgon himself discussed this matter with Denethor, and this old man really has a good understanding of death.

But Denethor has no way to let go of this family affection. He is a sensitive person. Although he is reluctant in his heart, he never expresses it on his own initiative.

The arrival of James gave the young man a little hope, but in the end he still only faced disappointment.

However, Denethor would not blame Allen and James because of this matter, no matter what, the other party had good intentions.

It's just that one more person told him that his grandfather was running out of time, and being with him was the only thing he could do now.

This feeling is not good. Denethor just wrote down this matter, and he should not forget it for a long time.

Probably due to the exhaustion of the journey, the banquet ended soon after everyone was full.

Accompanied by the royal guards, most of the people left the seventh floor of Baicheng and went to the camp on the first floor to rest.

But there are also some people who did not leave, such as Gandalf, Alan and his little friends, Cirdan and Dillin of the valley, they did not leave.

They themselves attend the banquet, not entirely for a meal.

In the prime minister's meeting room, Turgon brought Denethor and Galdo the "Key Holder" to discuss the current situation in Gondor with the group going south.

The position of "Key Holder" is very important here in Minas Tirith. From a certain point of view, it belongs to the deputy of the prime minister.

If any accident happened to the prime minister, before the new prime minister inherits the power, the "Key Holder" will temporarily take over the responsibility of managing Baicheng.

During this period of time, the rights possessed by the "Key Holder" are no different from those of the prime minister in Baicheng, unless someone with a higher status appears.

For example, at this time, the No.20 Prince of Amroth, Angelimir.

As the most prominent nobleman in Gondor, Prince Do Amroth can also wield a considerable amount of power in times of crisis, and the "Key Holder" mainly plays a supporting role.

In this meeting, Galdo was the one talking most of the time, and Turgon was just affirming and making a small amount of additions.

And Alan and Cirdan, also sharing information, learned of Gondor's plight at this time.

Although it is said that Gondor and Mordor have become a mess at this time, the situation is actually relatively clear.

Most of the southern territories of Gondor, such as the farthest Pinnath Kerin and Amfalas.

Their strength was not strong in the first place, and under the harassment of the Umbar pirates, their strength was intercepted in Belfalas, and they could not reach Baicheng at all.

As for Lamedon, which is closer, it is an inland fiefdom, so there is no worry of being harassed by pirates.

The residents there who are good at fighting have joined the battlefield early under the leadership of their lord.

This army, together with the local lord, was defending the coastline of Lebennin against the pirates who often plundered there. Although the intensity of the conflicts between the two sides was small, they were very frequent.

After all, most of the pirates are gathered around Pelakir at this moment, except for some ships that are entangled with the remaining Gondor navy in the narrow river.

The rest of them will not just stay where they are.

However, the current defense of Pelakir, the main city of Lebenning, is very worrying. If it weren't for the elite troops of Prince Amroth, they camped and defended near the town.

This kind of seaport city may have been breached by pirates who marched from several routes.

The troops of Minas Tirith and Arnakh guarded the western city of Osgiliath.

Confronting the Haralds who had repaired the bridge crossing the river, brutal street fighting would occur between the two sides from time to time.

As for Rohan's reinforcements and Anorien's own troops, they were restrained by the enemy forces of Kael Androth.

In fact, the number of Rohan's cavalry led by Senger at this time was no less than four thousand, but Turgon still had no intention of letting this cavalry force leave there.

Because he couldn't afford the damage to the Pelennor Plain, he must not allow the enemy to cross there.

After a period of thinking and arguing, Cirdan and Allen agreed that it is not acceptable to put troops into the defense line of the Anduin River.

We must turn passive into active.

Although their strength to come to support is strong, it is always limited.

The current situation must be changed.

　The last two days may be busy, I have to go to SJZ, but I should not stop updating, ask for a monthly ticket, everyone, I hope to draw a prize next month ()
