The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 96 The New Crisis
"My lord, my relatives told me that in the east of the Hongshui River, there are several Dongyi tribes stationed there. Things like this haven't happened for hundreds of years. They asked me to remind you of this."

Alan was a little surprised when he got the news, and then he immediately asked an extremely critical question.

"Frey, have your compatriots mentioned, how many people are there in those Dongyi tribes?"

Frey shook his head and said: "They can't be sure, because when they passed by there, there was still a steady stream of Dongyi convoys coming from the east to join those camps. At that time, the number of Dongyi people had already Nearly ten thousand people."

What! !Nearly ten thousand Dongyi people?
Even Alan, who had already made some preparations, was caught off guard by Sauron's big hand. In his memory, only during the Holy War of the Lord of the Rings decades later, would a large number of Dongyi people come from... Rune set out to invade Varonian.

In the intervening decades, there were almost no records of the Dongyi people's invasion of Rovanian, and there have been no large-scale conflicts worth recording in the two regions.

The arrival of the Dongyi people made Allen have to consider whether it was because of a series of human actions in the Battle of Gushan that successfully attracted Sauron's attention and made him more vigilant about a human town that he didn't care about.

In other words, Sauron couldn't accept his complete failure in the Lonely Mountain, and he launched this attack only when he became angry from embarrassment.

If this is the case, Alan feels that his name may have been remembered by Sauron. With Alan's current strength, it is definitely an extremely important thing to be remembered by a dark demon with powerful power. bad thing.

At this time, Allen was still very weak compared to other human forces, and he couldn't resist Sauron's light blow at all.

Moreover, in Allen's impression, Sauron is a commander with a long-term strategic vision and an extremely keen sense of smell. The most important thing is that this guy's mobility is simply top-notch. bring certain benefits.

For example, after being captured by the Númenoreans in the second era, Sauron was not depressed because of this. Instead, he quickly grasped the weakness of Al-Pharazon and used the king's pride and desire for eternal life to successfully seduce him. , became the national teacher of the Númenóreans in only three years.

If this is the case, it is not enough to explain the power of Sauron. In the following years, Sauron, who has a strong personality and charm, only spent more than 40 years changing the beliefs of most Númenoreans. Successfully persuaded Al-Falazon to hate Vera and let him build an invincible fleet to attack Valinor.

As a result, it is conceivable that Al-Pharazon's Armada was directly destroyed by the Valar, and all the Numenoreans who boarded Valinor were also crushed under the lofty peak, waiting for the final judgment.

It only took less than 50 years for this dark lord to eradicate the enemy that he could never resist. Although Sauron himself lost his body in that action, since then, the Middle-earth Continent, It would be difficult for anyone to fight against him on his own.

Not just this one thing, the Ring of Power incident led by Sauron ran through the second and third eras, causing the three races of humans, elves, and dwarves to suffer certain blows, and these rings brought Sauron Here came the extremely good minions, the nine Nazgul.

In particular, the leader of the Nazgul, the Witch King of Angmar, followed Sauron's order during the third era, established the Kingdom of Angmar in Eriador, and destroyed the Kingdom of Arnor established by the Numenoreans. dealt a heavy blow to human power.

Although the Kingdom of Angmar was destroyed by the joint efforts of humans and elves, the remaining forces are still active in the Angmar Mountains, including the trolls entrenched in the Eten Wilderness, and they will come out from time to time. of his own lair, and raided the commoners living in Eriador.

At the same time, Sauron also ordered his remaining servants to accumulate powerful strength in Mordor, and established an alliance with the Dongyi people and the Harad people, severely restricting the development of Gondor for thousands of years.

And Sauron himself established Dol Guldur at the southern end of the Dark Forest a long time ago, and hid here. The strongest opponent Lady Galadriel.

All the above incidents have proved the excellence of Sauron. If we put aside our identity, why is this Maier’s deeds not an extremely inspirational story? It is a pity that he is a dark demon who threatens many races .

That is, last year, the Battle of Lonely Mountain led by Sauron failed miserably. According to the original trajectory, even if Sauron also failed, this battle also dealt a heavy blow to the elves of the Woodland Kingdom and the dwarves of Durin's clan. In fact, the Dulin family paid the price of cutting off a king's bloodline.

Now with Alan's participation, although the dwarves and elves have also lost part of their clansmen, compared to Sauron's loss of control over the entire north, the losses of their two clans are not particularly large, at least There was no injury to the muscles or bones.

Thranduil, King of the Woodlands, took back the family gemstone he had been thinking about, and at the same time obtained one-thirtieth of the wealth of the Lonely Mountain, which can be said to be not a loss.

The Durin dwarves regained their royal city and regained their homes for the wandering clansmen. They made a lot of money and were the biggest winners in this battle.

And Allen also obtained most of the things he wanted in this battle, including fame, wealth and deeper friendship with his allies.

It can be said that the three races of humans, elves, and dwarves have achieved a win-win feat by taking advantage of Sauron's failure this time.

Of course, Sauron would not just swallow the bitter fruit of failure so obediently, but Allen did not expect that the Dark Lord's reaction was so fast, which far exceeded his expectations. You must know that Rovanian had just It has been stable for less than half a year.

Now, nearly [-] Dongyi people are stationed on the east side of the Hongshui River. The pressure is completely on the dwarves in the Lonely Mountain, the elves in the Black Forest, and the humans living in the east of Rovanian. The threat of war will be eliminated. In front of the three races.

Especially humans, Allen can predict that the northern humans living in the east of Rovanian will never have a comfortable life in the future.

The arrival of these Dongyi people also interrupted Allen's idea of ​​developing with peace of mind. In the past, his vision for the eastern part of Rovanian was to use his influence to slowly attract people living there over the past few decades. Let them join us for a better life, and finally complete the control of the entire Rovanian.

But now, the enemy has been stationed at the door of the house, and the war will break out at any time, and the nearly ten thousand Dongyi people have also brought great pressure to Allen. You must know that these dark humans from Loen are extremely barbaric and cruel. Good at fighting, even young women and elderly people have good fighting power.

Allen will never underestimate them. At this moment, he is eager to reach a covenant with the elves and dwarves, so as to do his best to deal with the enemy who suddenly appeared in front of them.

But before that, Allen still needs to complete one thing. He got off his horse, took two draft horses carrying mead from the leader behind him, and handed them to the dwarf Frey.

"Frey, I need to trouble you with one thing. Please give these two draft horses and the mead on the horses to your compatriots as my help in providing them with information."

Allen must thank these dwarves from the Far East for providing him with such important information, so that he can make certain preparations in advance to guard against possible sudden attacks by the Dongyi people.

After hearing what Allen said, Frey nodded without saying anything, and led the pack horse towards his compatriots.

And Allen waved his hand, called Kress over, and said to the little girl with an extremely solemn face: "Kress, I need you and Grimm to take half of the cavalry along the rushing river." Next, go all the way to Elaine and get him ready for battle, and at the same time, you need to send someone to notify Fatis so that he is ready to call up all the soldiers."

According to Allen's understanding of these Dongyi people, if they really want to launch a surprise attack on Wilderness Town, the dense forest road must be their top priority. They are good at driving chariots and need a flat road there to complete it. march.

And Allen is just about to get through there recently, which has to be said to be an extremely ironic thing, and according to the existing conditions, the best place to resist the Dongyi people is the position where Allen is stationed .

It's just a pity that the defensive stronghold built by Tire has just started construction, and Alan can't force the Durin dwarf to give up participating in his king's enthronement ceremony and go back to build the stronghold immediately. Such a thing is too chilling for his subordinates up.

When Allen decided to go back this time, he would take Yatiman back and let him take charge of the defense construction work there.

Kress, who received the order, looked at Alan's serious face and knew that this matter was extremely important. She quickly and simply repeated Alan's order in front of Alan.

"Boss, let Elaine get ready to fight, let Fatis get ready to recruit all the soldiers, is that right?"

"Ah."

Allen nodded in agreement.

Then Kress shouted loudly to Grimm: "Big one, let's go, we have a new job."

The two people who got together quickly ordered half of the knights, and rushed towards the direction of the dense forest road with the corresponding supplies.

Jamila, who watched Kress leave, said softly beside Allen: "Master Allen, I will go back right away. If all soldiers are to be recruited, then many tasks in Wilderness Town need to be adjusted. Only rely on Bundak and James may not be able to handle this matter."

As soon as Jamila's words fell, Alan fell into thinking. Indeed, in order to deal with the situation in front of him, the sooner Jamila went back, the better. If it wasn't for the fact that the lonely mountain was already in front of him, and Alan had to find Thorin talked about the alliance, and he himself was about to turn around and leave.

And just now, in order to ensure the safety of Kress and Grimm, so that they can reach the camp where Aileen is stationed, Alan has already divided half of the cavalry. If Jamila wants to go back at this time, then Alan Lun had to divide the remaining fifty cavalry again and let them protect Jamila and return to Wilderness Town.

This is actually a bit dangerous. Although the Dongyi people are better at driving chariots, they also have a small amount of cavalry. No one knows if there is a small group of enemies infiltrating to the west of the Black Forest at this time.

Not to mention that there are still a lot of wolves entrenched in the Misty Mountains at this time. God knows whether Sauron will let these wolves cooperate with the Dongyi people to fight.

It is too dangerous for Jamila to go back alone now, and Allen cannot let his Hand of the King take such a risk.

At this moment, Allen, who had gotten on his horse, shook his head and said, "No, we won't be able to stay in Lonely Mountain for too long. Tomorrow at the latest, the day after tomorrow, we will set off to return to Wilderness Town."

After hearing this, Jamila nodded obediently and didn't say much.

Gandalf, who was listening to everything from the sidelines, had a relaxed expression and became serious. This gray-robed wizard has always been resistant to the East and has never traveled there.

But Gandalf is no stranger to the Dongyi people. He has heard a little about the three-way war between the Dongyi people, the Northern Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Gondor.

Gandalf rode to Alan's side, and said solemnly: "Alan, I believe that behind this incident, there must be a great enemy. You need to plan early."

Alan, who was bowing his head in thought, was awakened by Gandalf's words. He was thinking about whether Sauron would have other actions to cooperate with the attack of the Dongyi people.

After all, Allen was facing the insidious and cunning Sauron at this time, which filled his heart with vigilance. According to the strategic level of the Dark Lord, he could not launch such a simple attack.

The key problem is that this war has deviated from the original track. Allen is not familiar with it, and the feeling of fog in front of him makes him a little uncomfortable.

It's just that Allen quickly cleared up his mood. The leader of tens of thousands of people is not for nothing. After these years of hard work, Allen's heart has become much stronger, and in the place of Rovanian, Allen can pry The power of movement is not too small. Could the elves of the Woodland Kingdom and the dwarves of the Lone Mountain Kingdom still watch Wilderness Town being destroyed by the Dongyi people?
With the help of these allies, Alan may not necessarily be at a disadvantage in this duel with the Dongyi people.

In this short period of time, Alan figured out everything, so what if Sauron came?Just fight, worry and fear are of no help at all, only resourcefulness and courage are the only way to deal with the enemy.

Looking at Gandalf with a worried face, Allen recovered his mood and said with a smile: "Yes, Gandalf, I believe that the shadow entrenched in Mordor played a disgraceful role behind this incident, but , We don’t need to worry too much about this, facing the arrival of tigers and wolves, we naturally have sharp swords, but, I have one thing, I need your help, Gandalf.”

"Oh? What's the matter?"

Looking at Alan, who was able to return to normal in a short period of time in the face of the crisis, Gandalf was very relieved, and he deserved to be the human leader he admired.

"It's like this. After attending Thorin's enthronement ceremony, I hope you can go to Rose Lorien for me to warn Lady Galadriel. I think the enemy may send him evil under such circumstances. His minions have once again entered Dol Guldur."

Gandalf frowned, and looked at Alan with a little surprise, because he also thought of this in a short time, and he was already ready to go to Lothlórien in his heart, and Gandalf had other plans .

"Don't worry, Alan, I will, not only that, after going to Los Lorien, I will continue to go south, go to Rohan and Gondor to ask for help, Rohan's King Finger, and Gondor's Majesty Lord Turgon, the ruling chancellor, has a good friendship with me, but you need to arrange some people to send Bilbo back to the Shire."

And Bilbo Baggins, who was on the side, heard Gandalf mentioning himself, and hurriedly said: "Actually, I can stay and help."

Although Bilbo Baggins misses his Bag End very much at this time, in order to help his friend, he can bury this longing deeply in his heart.

Gandalf replied quickly: "Bilbo, my dear hobbit friend, your journey ends here, and what follows is too dangerous for you to take part in."

Gandalf said these words for the sake of Bilbo's safety. That little magic item can only help Bilbo escape into the Netherworld. people more clearly.

If Bilbo Baggins wanted to rely on that magic ring to do something in front of the Ringwraiths, it would be a dream. Gandalf would not just watch Bilbo Baggins die.

And Alan would not agree to Bilbo's help even more. The ring spirits are too sensitive to the Supreme Lord of the Rings. If one is not good, this battle may turn into a decisive battle between darkness and light. This is not acceptable to Alan. the result of.

Thinking of this, Alan said to Bilbo with a smile on his face: "Yes, Bilbo, you don't need to worry about me here, I think you should go home too. Don't you worry about being out for so long?" ? I remember you telling me that your cousin Sackville had eyes for Bag End."

Allen's words reminded Bilbo Baggins that the hobbit suddenly thought that he hadn't returned for so long, and that he might have been considered dead by his clansmen.
Thinking of this, Bilbo Baggins' heart was suddenly filled with the desire to go home. He scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "If that's the case, then let's not delay any longer and hurry up to set off. I kind of miss Bag End."

Allen and Gandalf looked at each other and smiled, and the group set off again, walking towards the Lonely Mountain, but their pace seemed a lot more hurried, and they finally arrived at River Valley City before sunset.

Due to the deep friendship between Thorin II and Allen, the King of Durin sent more dwarves to participate in Bard's restoration of Dale City.

It originally took three to four years, but under Sorin's special care, it now only takes less than two years to complete.

Therefore, in less than half a year, a large part of the current River Valley City has been repaired. The houses, towers, and clock towers that used to spread all over the city have gradually restored their original state with the joint efforts of humans and dwarves. appearance.

After learning that Allen was coming, Bard, who was busy, and Yatiman, who had just obtained the status of a scholar not long ago, put down their affairs and waited at the gate of River Valley City early, ready to welcome him The arrival of the lord.

However, the only thing they waited for was Jamila who led the cavalry, and Allen took Gandalf, Bilbo Baggins and several dwarves and continued on the road to the Lonely Mountain. In the hall, I found Sorin who was dealing with government affairs.

At this moment, Upper Thorin, who was sitting on the throne, was discussing with his dwarf subordinates about the enthronement ceremony. These dwarves were almost all familiar faces of Allen, including Dyne, Balin, Duvalin, and Groin. And Ein with a hearing aid.

A group of dwarves saw the arrival of Alan and others, stopped what they were discussing, smiled and nodded to Alan, or waved to Alan to say hello, and Sorin walked down from the throne, Opened his arms towards the three of Allen, and said happily while walking:

"My friends, welcome to Gushan to attend my enthronement ceremony."
