The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 35 Allen's Three Legions, and Departure.

During these days, Allen fell into unprecedented busyness.

Since the road from Wilderness Town to Muma Village is not open, Jamila is temporarily unable to take over the affairs of Muma Village.

She also doesn't have enough time and energy to deal with these things. After all, building a new village and managing a village are two different things.

Allen had to personally command his subordinates, mobilize various materials and manpower, and cooperate with the return of the young Yatiman to do construction work in the Wrangler Village.

These tasks are not difficult for Allen, but they are too cumbersome.

Many small things required Allen to make decisions, which tied Allen tightly to his tent.

But with Alan's full cooperation and the hard work of thousands of people, the speed of village construction is much faster than that of Wilderness Village.

Finally, on the first day of the third era of the Lord of the Rings in 2941, the construction of the horse herding village came to an end.

Allen had previously set this day as the New Year. As long as there is no unexpected situation, he will fund this day every year and invite everyone to the banquet. Everyone can drink and have fun.

In fact, during this period of time, Allen, who sat in the tent every day, did not only complete this job.

He reintegrated the troops in his hands again, preparing to form them into an army with infantry, archers, and cavalry.

Before that, the dinar in Allen's hands was not rich, nor did he have enough weapons and equipment, so he formed a system to arm his conscripts.

Now it's ok, Alan has a lot of wealth in his hands, not only has more than 20 dinars, but also has enough manpower and horses. He also bought a batch of ordnance from the Woodland Kingdom, which is enough to form several different legions.

For this reason, Allen held a military meeting, and the participants included Fatis, Bandak, Allen, Horimion, Desaiwei, and Jamila. There is no way, the army has to eat no.

At the meeting, after discussing with other personnel, Allen decided to refer to Rhodok's military system and use an army organization such as a ten-man squad, a hundred-man brigade, and a legion.

But unlike Rhodok, Allen's ten-man team counts ten people including the captain, and the same is true for the hundred-man team.

The head of the legion controls all the captains, and has a personal guard system of less than 20 people to assist them in managing the army.

Of course, most of the soldiers who make up these armies are still conscripts who farm in leisure time and wear armor in wartime.

The personal guards, small captains, large captains, and legion chiefs will receive a good salary as a reward for their participation in daily management.

If they were former professional soldiers, they would receive two paychecks.

After deciding on the basic management regulations, Allen began to accept the commanders of each legion.

Fatis will serve as the commander of the cavalry corps.

All the cavalry in Allen's hands barely formed four centurions, most of which were composed of Kugits and a small number of captives who surrendered.

Most of the officers are Swadian knights and Kujit lancers.

Allen spent tens of thousands of dinars to replenish their equipment, including weapons and leather armor.

Fatis' personal guards consisted of the Swadian captives brought back by Allen a few years ago.

After several years of labor reform, they have successfully become the subjects of Allen, and Fatis is their fellow villager, and usually takes good care of them, so it is a matter of course.

Allen gave Dyne's gift, the ten sets of human armor and the ten dwarf swords, to Fatis and let him handle it by himself.

It turned out that Allen, who was the captain of the personal guard, was arranged by Allen to be the commander of the infantry regiment.

Allen used all the resources in his hands to form a melee force of 600 people, who were mainly composed of Rhodok soldiers and forest residents.

Among them are a hundred heavy infantry wearing chain mail, holding huge shields, and holding melee weapons.

There were also five hundred light infantry in leather armor and armed with elf spears, and since they were mostly woodland dwellers, they also carried their own bows and arrows.

The officers of the infantry are mainly composed of those Rhodok soldiers, not to say that their combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of the forest residents.

It is because they have participated in the army training of the Rhodoks Kingdom and have certain experience in organizing teams.

And the equipment of these soldiers almost emptied most of Allen's savings, especially the one hundred heavy infantry in iron armor, which cost Allen tens of thousands of dinars.

In the end, Allen also sent ten Nord royal guards to Allen as personal guards, so that during the war, the young man would not charge too far ahead without protection.

Allen thinks Allen should be qualified for the job.

There is no need to consider the loyalty of this young man. He himself is a nobleman and has received a complete noble education.

Over the years, I have fought big and small battles with myself, and I have a certain amount of experience.

He needed a chance to prove himself, and Allen was willing to give it to him, and Allen accepted it very excitedly.

And Elaine will have Bandak to cooperate with him, because Bandak will command a long-range army of 400 people.

They consisted chiefly of Rhodocan crossbowmen and wood-dwellers, a hundred crossbowmen among them, and three hundred archers with Elven longbows.

Their officers were mainly Alan's former personal guards and Rhodok sharpshooters.

Infantry and archers usually cooperate in combat, so Bandak will also act together with Elaine, and Bandak and Elaine can also discuss with each other if there is any problem.

After all, Bundak has at least decades of military career and is very experienced.

And Alan's personal guard, followed by Horimion and the Noldor Twilight Knights, they are also considered the most powerful force in Alan's hands.

And they will follow Allen to the most dangerous place on the battlefield.

In the end, Desaiwei will become the scout captain and lead the dozens of Kujit cavalry archers to complete the daily scouting work, which can be regarded as a relief for the Swadian knights, after all, their job is to charge cavalry.

These three legions are most of the family property that Alan has accumulated in the four or five years since he came here, and it is also where he has the confidence to participate in the Battle of the Five Armies.

Of course, Allen still has some other strengths, such as Beorn's tribe, and hundreds of reserve teams that are not particularly well equipped. Wait, these don't need to be mentioned.

It is worth mentioning that since these troops are not conventional troops, they usually still have to participate in farming and construction work.

Allen's current requirement is to train once a week. These people have been fighting with half-orcs all year round. There is no lack of combat experience and courage. What is lacking is mutual cooperation and awareness of discipline.

After all, in Allen's impression, the Battle of the Five Armies will take some time to start.

If it is the original work, then at least it should be a period of time after the Day of Dulin (the approximate time should be around the end of October), that is, this winter.

If it's a movie, it's obvious that the timeline is messed up. Anyway, Allen will also participate in the dwarf expedition, and he will always come back. Now it's just preparations.

After finishing all the work, Allen waited for Gandalf to pick him up.

It should be soon, whether it is the original book or the movie, Gandalf met Thorin Oakenshield for the first time in March of this year.

Then there was the matter of the Lonely Mountain Expedition. The difference is that in the original book, it was completely a chance encounter, and it was Gandalf who Sorin took the initiative to find.

But in the movie, Allen speculates that Gandalf should wait for Thorin at the Prancing Horse Inn, and then encourage Thorin to complete this feat. This has been confirmed by Allen at the White Daoist Conference last fall.

Sure enough, Gandalf couldn't help but say that Gandalf came to Wilderness just a few days after the new year.

He looked travel-stained and tired, probably because he hadn't had a good rest for a long time.

Facing such a weary Gandalf, Alan entertained him graciously.

Even Gandalf, who didn't have too much demand for appetite, still praised the wine from Pendor.

He even jokingly said that he hoped that Allen would be more prepared during the follow-up journey.

Faced with this little request from his friend, Allen has no reason not to agree.

Later, in the chat with Gandalf, Allen learned about his busy past few months.

It turned out that after the meeting, Gandalf ran non-stop around Middle-earth. Not only did he go to Eriador to find the interim leader of the Rangers of Dúnedain at this time, he also discussed the matter of attacking Dol Guldur together.

After that, Gandalf was still alone, and came to the wilderness again, went to investigate near the old castle, and saw the pale orc Azog in Allen's mouth.

This old man was working tirelessly on the land of Middle-earth, it was really hard work.

While the two were chatting, Gandalf was also going to briefly describe his plan to Allen.

"We have to set off within a few days. I got news from a trusted friend that Thorin Oakenshield, the son of Thraine, is haunting the Black Barbarian Land."

Speaking of this, Gandalf smiled when he remembered that he was going to take Alan there.

He continued: "It's obvious that I'm not the only one who got the news that Thraine is haunting the Heiman Land. Sorin is also searching for his father's traces there, but I think there is a high probability that he will return without success."

Of course Allen knew that Thorin Oakenshield would return in vain, because Selain II was still suffering in the dungeon of Dol Guldur at this time.

But what Allen had to admire was that Thrane II was actually close to three hundred years old at this time.

Even the dwarves of Durin's royal family may live longer than ordinary dwarves, which is quite a great desire to survive.

If the plan to attack Dol Guldur goes well this time, the words Selain II wants to say to his son should be able to tell Thorin Oakenshield himself.

"Shorin will definitely be returning to his territory in the Blue Mountains after he finishes his investigation in the Black Barbarian Land. Let's hurry up and start, and we can wait for him in Bree in Shire."

Having said that, Gandalf pondered for a while, and continued:

"Well, that's where he has to go if he wants to take the easy way, otherwise we're going to find him in the Blue Mountains, but before that, Alan, I have something to do I command you."

Alan was a little strange. He looked at Gandalf's slightly serious face and motioned for Gandalf to continue.

"I don't think we can tell Thorin Oakenshield all the plans, especially about the elves involved. If Sorin knows that we are with the elves, and use him and their family's Lonely Mountain as bait, we will still be able to use it as a bait." From what I know of this dwarf prince, the chances of him agreeing to this expedition are slim."

Gandalf continued to add: "Alan, what I want to say is that we are not cheating. We help the dwarves regain their homeland. This is a noble thing. We just need to complete this part of the work. Others Things will happen naturally, although they are related to each other, but this does not affect the result”

Gandalf had some doubts. He was worried that Allen would feel that this was a kind of deception and use of Thorin Oakenshield, so he had concerns.

Obviously he was overthinking, and Allen very much agrees with this point of view.

"I agree with this, Gandalf, and I also don't think it is necessary to tell Thorin Oakenshield everything. In fact, we don't know whether we will succeed. Let's talk about everything after we succeed. What do you think? .”

Gandalf heard that Allen agreed with his proposal, and said with a smile: "I don't know whether the matter will be successful, but it has already made a good start, hasn't it?"

After Alan heard it, he laughed and said, "That would have to be approved by Thorin Oakenshield, but I don't think he has any reason to refuse."

The old and the young laughed in Allen's banquet hall.

After laughing, the two began to discuss the details of departure.

Allen suggested that Gandalf should rest here for a few days, because the road ahead is not easy.

At the same time, Allen also needs some time to arrange things in the village,
Gandalf agreed. He really hadn't had a good rest in recent months.

He also wanted to take advantage of these few days to get to know Alan's village well.

A few days later, Allen finally arranged everything in Wilderness Town and Wrangler Village, and was ready to go.

In the past, he would go out for a month, at most two months, but this time he knew that he would not be able to come back within half a year.

Alan wasn't worried that any major changes would happen here once he came back, but he was a little worried about the safety of the village.

In fact, in the past four or five years, Allen has been wondering why Azog didn't send people to attack his village, and why the orc king didn't ask him for revenge again.

However, our half-orc artist, Mr. Big Fatty, didn't want to provoke Allen after his first revenge defeat. This guy can live from the first era to the present, not just because of his musical accomplishments.

In particular, several skin-changing men appeared near Wilderness Town. Such power was not only the Orc King, but even Azog had given up on avenging Borg.

Allen's strength has increased too fast, and the two of them don't want to chew on such a hard bone.

At the same time, Azog himself is also very busy, he has to complete his master's instructions and do his own work.

At this moment, Azog was squatting on Thorin Oakenshield in a dark place. He was the one who released the news about Selaine II.

How could this pale orc forget the revenge of Broken Arm? Not only did he spread false news, but he also issued a huge bounty for Thorin Oakenshield's head.

This matter is known to everyone in the dark corners, and many humans who have taken refuge in the dark forces are searching for the figure of Thorin Oakenshield.

But these have nothing to do with Allen sitting on the big eagle.

In the past four or five years, Allen has been maintaining his relationship with the eagle. One of the few strict laws of Allen includes not being able to shoot the eagle in the sky with bows and arrows.

Violators will have all property confiscated and expelled from Allen's sphere of influence.

And every time the big eagle brings new news, Allen will ask his subordinates to prepare corresponding gifts to entertain these big eagles.

Especially last time, after Allen got the diamond, he asked the dwarves craftsmen to help create a gold crown and a sterling silver necklace.

The two gifts were inlaid with more than a bag of diamonds, and the necklace was given to Thranduil by Allen. Allen believed that elves who like starlight should be more suitable for silver.

The crown was specially made by Allen for the Eagle King, and he entrusted other big eagles to bring it to the Eagle King as a gift.

Alan didn't know why the creatures in Middle Earth liked gems so much, and it might be that Alan's gems came too easily, so he couldn't understand this feeling.

The eagle's help was not summoned by Allen. The connection between the eagle and Allen had always been one-way. Allen had no way to contact them, but the gray-robed wizard did, and Gandalf called them over.

Although it is spring at this time, the temperature in the valley has begun to warm up, but the snowstorm above the Misty Mountains has not stopped.

Allen and Gandalf crossed the sphere of influence of Orc Town and crossed the old pass on their own two legs. This was not a good choice.

The only easy way to go at this time is to cross the ferry of the Isen River on the side of Eisengard, set foot on the North-South Road, and then go to Bree.

But it would take too long, and neither of them wanted to make that choice.

So Gandalf used his own magic to summon two eagles, but what Gandalf didn't know was that Alan and the eagles also had a very good relationship.

So the eagles sent them very far this trip, they rode the eagles directly at Karl Rock, and after resting in the Eagle's Nest for a day, they were sent to the vicinity of the deep valley again by the eagles.

And the two did not go to the valley to bother Lord Elrond, but directly crossed the last bridge, set foot on the East-West Avenue, and walked towards Bree.

The first volume, the self-cultivation of the episode is completed
