The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 68

After the meeting held by Thorin was over, everyone left the Thrain Hall one after another.

Lord Elrond said goodbye to Allen at the gate of the Lonely Mountain Kingdom.

He wanted to bring some soldiers back to Los Lorien first, and Lord Elrond handed over the unfinished business of Lonely Mountain to Lindyr.

After watching Lord Elrond leave, Allen returned to River Valley City. He still had some things to do in Lonely Mountain and could not leave.

On the morning when the meeting ended, Allen gave a task to Allen who had recovered.

Let him take two hundred soldiers, hurry up, and send the soldiers who died in this war back to Wilderness Town, so that their families can see them for the last time.

Although their souls have received gifts from Iluvatar and have traveled to other worlds.

But their bodies, according to the traditions of the forest residents, still have to return to the earth under the witness of their families.

Allen felt that he had to do this right away.

This was something he had thought about last night. Although it was winter and the corpses were not easy to rot, the soldiers who died fighting for him could not be allowed to just lie casually on the streets of River Valley City.

Before Allen left, Allen talked with him for a long time, mainly to send word to Jamila to compensate nearly two hundred families.

According to the tradition of Wilderness Town, Allen will support his family for all soldiers who died on the battlefield.

At least until their children become adults, Allen is obliged to protect their lives.

In addition, Allen will also compensate a fortune enough for them to live for ten years, and now Allen can completely pay in gold.

And soon, gold will become the general equivalent of Wilderness Town. This needs to be carefully considered by Allen after returning home, and he still can't take care of these things now.

In addition, Allen also considered that to build a cemetery for these soldiers, he named it the Cemetery of Heroes.

After thinking about it all night, Allen decided to locate the cemetery on the hillside east of Wilderness Town.

There is a very high hill, every day after the sun rises, it will shine there for the first time,
And in the warm season, some white or yellow flowers will bloom on the surrounding mountains, which is a very beautiful place.

In the past, it was because of the inconvenience of the road, so the citizens didn't reclaim too much land there, and now they can just use the hillside there.

In Allen's vision, all soldiers who died on the battlefield in the future can be buried here as long as their families agree.

The best thing is to build a wall around the cemetery, and then arrange a few grave guards to drive out some beasts or bad guys who don't have eyes to disturb these soldiers.

There must be another road from Wilderness Town to the cemetery, and this road will be included in Desaiwei's patrol range, which will also make it easier for family members to mourn their own family members.

No matter how many things a person dies, it will not help. I can only hope to comfort the families of those soldiers who died in battle.

After arranging all this, Allen led [-] soldiers, transported part of the wealth and nearly [-] soldiers who died on the battlefield, and left River Valley City.

They will travel south along the River Run until they enter Long Lake, and then, with the help of the woodland elves, they will return to Moor through the Black Forest.

And the half-orcs of Mount Gundabad and the Misty Mountains suffered such heavy losses in this battle.

In recent years, it should no longer be necessary, considering the safety issues along the way.

After seeing off Allen, Allen was going to find His Majesty Thranduil, the king of the woodland elves.

Coincidentally, Gandalf and Bilbo Baggins were also looking for Ellen at the same time.

The three met at the gate of River Valley City. It turned out that Gandalf and the two of them found Allen, and they were planning to rush back to Wilderness Town with Allen, so there was good help along the way.

In Allen's view, this was just an extremely simple request. Allen told the two that it might take a few days for him to finish dealing with the matter here, and then everyone can leave together.

At the same time, Allen also invited the two to live in Wilderness Town for a period of time, because it was winter and the Misty Mountains were extremely difficult to walk. Although there was no threat of half-orcs, the weather alone might bring Bilbo Come some damage.

As a friend, Allen certainly doesn't want to see this kind of thing happen. In addition, after next spring, Allen plans to personally lead the troops and send the two back to Eriador.

Because Allen is going to open up the lower passage at the high pass at that time, it is best to build an outpost or even a fort there to connect the trade between the two regions.

Even if there is no trade, it can strengthen the friendship between Rovanian city-state and the valley, and it would be good to exchange ideas on building, building, and planting with each other.

Therefore, it is inevitable for Allen to lead his troops. When the time comes, he will take the dwarf Tyr to observe the surrounding terrain and prepare for the future.

Gandalf and Bilbo Baggins readily agreed to Alan's invitation. At the same time, the hobbit said that after returning to Wilderness Town, he can show his cooking skills to Alan, which is guaranteed to be better than the fat cook at the Green Dragon Tavern.

After hearing this, Allen smiled slightly. His mood, which was somewhat depressed because of the sacrifice of the soldiers, was filled with a little warmth when he got along with his friends.

However, Allen quickly picked up his mood and bid farewell to the two, and he had to go to King Thranduil to talk about the alliance.

This is a very important thing, and now is a very good opportunity.

This time Sauron left Dol Guldur and fled back to the east after being beaten up by the big bosses of the White Daoist Society in Dol Guldur.

But Allen knew that in a few years, Sauron would make a comeback, and at that time, at least three Nazgul would continue to occupy Dol Guldur.

Of course, with Alan's intervention now, the power Sauron sent may be more and more violent.

If nothing else, Allen's power will also become a thorn in Sauron's side and a thorn in his flesh.

If Alan wants to fight against this force in a few years, or even start a fight with them.

Then the alliance with the woodland elves and the Durin dwarves is inevitable, at least a defensive alliance is indispensable.

It's just that there is a little problem here, and I need to communicate with Thranduil first.

While thinking, Allen came to Thranduil's tent, and then the elf guard informed Allen that he could go in.

Thranduy was a little surprised after seeing Alan, because the war just ended yesterday, and as the leader of the power, he should have a lot of things to deal with and think about.

In fact, the woodland elves also suffered heavy losses in this war. On the one hand, when guarding the walls of the valley city, those elves contradictory hands took great care of Alan's subordinates, which caused them great losses.

Otherwise, Alan's dead men might not be just those 200 people.

On the other hand, when Thranduil rushed out from River Valley City to rescue the dwarves with the elf sword and shield, he alone resisted the attack of Uruk soldiers. During that period of time, they also suffered a lot of losses.

Although the woodland elves are not as good as the Durin dwarves, the death rate is as high as one third.

But their casualty rate was also very high, about a quarter of them. Many of them were injured and were carried back by the militiamen in Changhu Town. After simple treatment, they stabilized.

But there are more than 300 Silvan elves who are determined to return to the Mandos Hall, and the death rate has reached more than one-tenth.

These are all elves, and there is no shortage of elite fighters who have participated in the final alliance battle for a long time on the death list.

At this time, Thranduil was also grieved by the death of these woodland elves. After all, he was also a king who cared deeply about the lives of his people.

Of course, if the original trajectory was followed, the number of woodland elves sacrificed would make the woodland king so heartbroken that he ran away.

Instead of being like now, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, he looked at Alan who came to visit him calmly.

But the surprise was the surprise, Thranduil was very happy after seeing Alan, and his tone was very polite.

After all, the woodland king who was guarding River Valley City and kept an eye on the battlefield had also seen the war weapons prepared by the dwarves of the Iron Hills.

Thranduil thought for a while, if he really led his troops to besiege the gate of the Lonely Mountain and clashed with the dwarves, how much damage could the huge crossbow bolts do to his people.

Then the elf king didn't want to think about it any more, but he felt a little more grateful to Allen in his heart.

"Allen, you are welcome, please sit down."

While talking, Thranduil poured a glass of wine for Allen, and then said: "My friend, speaking of which, I haven't officially thanked you for arranging personnel in time to save my people. Let's have a drink. After the war, This glass of wine is even more precious."

Allen, who was sitting opposite Thranduil, was a little surprised at the king's politeness. He nodded and thanked Thranduil, and had a drink with him.

Allen, who put down his glass, didn't think much about it: "Your Majesty, you're welcome. This is what I should do. I also want to thank your brave fighters for helping my subordinates in this battle."

After finishing speaking, Allen raised his wine glass and toasted Thranduil again. The rich and fragrant aroma of the wine filled his throat.

Afterwards, Allen said, "Actually, I have something to discuss with you this time."

Allen directly expressed his thoughts on this trip.

"It's actually about the covenant."

Alan came here, of course, not to talk about the alliance between the Rovanian city-state and the woodland elves.

With the relationship between Allen and Thranduil, this kind of covenant is basically not difficult.

What Allen wanted was a tripartite alliance of humans, elves, and dwarves.

Thranduy has been a king for thousands of years, and he understood Alan's thoughts in an instant.

The elf king knew that he would not refuse Alan's request for an alliance, and he believed that Alan knew this too.

Well, at this time, Alan can still make this request to himself in a negotiating tone, so it is conceivable that there must be a dwarf in this contract.

Thinking of this, Thranduil felt a little uncomfortable. The elf king felt that Allen was too fond of the dwarves, and he would involve those dwarves in everything, even at the expense of angering himself.

Thinking of this, Thranduil looked at Alan, and said in a polite tone: "There is no explicit agreement between you and me, but the covenant already exists, so why mention it?"

Alan didn't know Thranduil's thoughts, but he knew that it was not easy to form an alliance between elves and dwarves.

It doesn't mean that if the two races fight the orcs together, they will be able to settle their differences and shake hands to make peace.

It can only be said that after this battle, the relationship between the two parties eased a little bit.

Allen also wanted to take advantage of this little bit of enthusiasm and try it out.

Allen shook the wine in his hand slightly, and said after deliberation: "Your Majesty, actually what I want to talk about is the tripartite covenant between humans, elves, and dwarves."

Thranduy raised the crystal cup, and with a look that I had guessed a long time ago, motioned for Allen to continue talking.

After all, Allen had just helped Thranduy get back the family's star gem, and he refused if he couldn't come up, which would damage the friendship between the two parties.

Allen continued after Thranduil's gesture.

"Your Majesty, you also know that this time under our multiple blows, the dark forces have retreated, and we can be stable for a while, but our enemies cannot let it go, and they will come back from the east soon. It is very clear that in the face of such an enemy, I think we should unite all forces that can be united and be prepared to fight against the darkness, so I proposed the alliance."

After speaking, Allen looked at Thranduil, waiting for the elf king's reply.

Thranduil was a little confused at this time. He knew what Allen said. After all, he was also there when Gandalf told the battle of Dol Guldur. Now that Sauron has made his public appearance, the Black Forest will There won't be long days of peace.

Of course, the woodland king knew that the three-party alliance has many benefits, otherwise it would be impossible to conclude an alliance with King Thror 200 years ago
However, King Thranduy didn't want to agree to Allen's request so readily. His relationship with Thorin was not much better, and he couldn't be the active side.

So after thinking for a while, he directly kicked the question back to Thorin.

"Alan, I know everything you said, and I'm also thinking about it. How about it, how about you talk to the dwarves first? If they agree, then we'll be discussing."

Thranduil had no hope of whether the dwarves would agree to Allen's suggestion. After all, dwarves were notoriously stubborn, and they were not as easy-talking as elves.

To get this answer, Alan felt that it was already very good, after all, King Thranduil did not directly refuse.

After getting the answer he wanted, Alan drank the wine in his glass and got up to bid farewell to Thranduil.

"Thank you for your generosity, Your Majesty. Then, I will take my leave first. I wish you a smooth journey."

Yes, the woodland elves are already preparing to leave here. If there is no accident, they will set off this afternoon.

Thranduil looked at the human in front of him and gave his blessing.

"Good luck to you too, Alan."

Allen nodded, turned and left Thranduil's tent.

At this moment, Thranduy stopped Alan and took out a long sword. It was Oakrest, and it was Thorin's beast-biting sword.

Allen looked at Thranduil in surprise, not knowing what the king was going to do.

This sword was one of the trophies obtained by Thranduil when he imprisoned Thorin. Among those things, most of them are ordinary things, only this sword looks priceless

After Thranduil got back the Starlight Gem, he felt that the grievances between himself and the dwarves were almost settled.

Then Thranduil felt that it was necessary to return the sword that belonged to Thorin in his hand to the future King of Lonely Mountain.

He didn't want to send his own people to do this, but at this time he handed over the sword to Alan, who had a better relationship with Thorin, to complete the matter.

Alan took over Oakrest, with complex emotions in his heart, mixed with three points of funny, three points of relief and three points of happiness.

Whether it is the original book or the movie, the sword finally returned to Sorin's side, but the ending was cruel without exception. It followed the dead Sorin and was buried in the lonely mountain.

At this time, it followed the current Sorin, and in the years to come, it could behead countless orcs again.

Allen readily agreed to the matter, and he did have some things to discuss with Thorin.

It's not a matter of forming an alliance. Although this matter is very important, it is not urgent. It is better to wait for a while, and there is plenty of time left for Allen.

The main purpose of Allen's desire to promote the tripartite alliance is not only to fight against Dol Guldur a few years later, but also for the war of the Lord of the Rings 80 years later.

In the north, Thranduil of the Black Forest and Lady Galadriel of Lothlórien faced the half-orcs of the Misty Mountains and the Ringwraiths of Dol Guldur. Black Forest.

But humans and dwarves suffered heavy losses. In the battle of the river valley, they directly sacrificed two kings in order to resist the Dongyi army.

Now, in the north of Rovanian, Alan is the strongest ruler, so in the attack of the Dongyi people, Alan needs to bear the greatest pressure.

The period from 2941 to 3018 in the third era lasted for more than 70 years. It seemed a long time, and it could even go through the life of an ordinary human being. But for Allen, it was still too short, because the difference between the power of light and darkness is really huge. The disparity is too great, and he needs to do everything possible to increase his strength.

At the very least, the woodland elves had to get out of the Black Forest to help humans and dwarves resist the invasion of the Dongyi people.

As for the half-orcs in the Misty Mountain who invaded the Black Forest, Allen will take care of it himself.

He had thought about blocking the Anduin River a long time ago. He didn't know anything else. The infrastructure was a trace that was branded in his bones.

As long as he can block the half-orcs in the Misty Mountains, the Silvan elves in the Black Forest will have enough troops to assist the humans and dwarves in the north of Rovanian to resist the attack of the Dongyi people.

In this way, the pressure on the humans and dwarves on the northern battlefield will be less, so Alan can also spare more troops to rush to the rescue of Rose Lorien and defeat Kohamur who occupies Dol Guldur as soon as possible.

At that time, Allen still wants to deploy troops to help Rohan and Gondor, participate in the main battlefield, and have a head-on battle with Sauron the Big Eye. Allen doesn't want to be a name in the background board in future records. .

For example, in a certain year, King Rovanian in the north led the army and successfully resisted the attack of the half-orcs in the Misty Mountains.

Allen felt that it was too shabby.

After drinking the elixir of youth, he felt that he would definitely be able to participate in this battle, but if he couldn't, he found a chance to have another bottle.

At that time, although Allen was nearly a hundred years old, his body was no different from that of a young man, and he could still bring his own guards to kill enemies on the battlefield.

Of course, it's just thinking about it now, after all, that day is still far away.
