[Hobbit+HP] The truth of elves

Lucius and Elrond hurried all the way back from the pier to the Sanctuary's Mansion without disturbing other people in the city.

All the way to the second floor where the study room was located, the tense vigilance was revealed from the more than usual soldiers in the corridor.

There are elves wearing more than one kind of uniforms guarding the study outside, and there are already many elves standing in the room, including the guard of Long Lake, the elf king's personal guard, and the messenger from the woodland kingdom.

Qi Lier, the guard of Changhu Lake and other important people who are closely related to the safety of Changhu Lake have already arrived, and the expressions on their faces are full of solemnity.

Thranduil stood alone by the wall, looking at a world map that Lucius had hung on it earlier.

When the people in the study saw Lucius and Elrond arriving, they all looked at them, but said nothing.

Judging from the overall cautious but not anxious atmosphere, Lucius speculates that the situation is not too bad, and the tense nerves can at least be relaxed.So he took the lead to break the silence: "Do you know what's going on?"

Thranduil sent to inform Lucius that their messengers were just ordinary guards and did not know the details.So the two elves who just arrived had basically no grasp of the current situation.

Thranduil turned his head when he heard the sound, and signaled with his eyes to the herald closest to him to report the situation.

"A patrol team encountered an unknown attack in the area west of the Gloomy Mountains, and sent a distress signal. His Highness Legolas led the team to support and pursue the enemy. The identity is not yet known. But the patrol team members who were attacked were just Poisoned, has been sent back to the kingdom for treatment, no life-threatening." The herald replied succinctly.

After listening, Lucius frowned.

"That's all?" Elrond, who was more worried, couldn't help asking, "How many enemies are there, why did they attack? How many reinforcements are there, and in which direction are they going?"

The series of questioning made the herald instantly embarrassed.

He didn't want that to be the only news he brought. It felt like the weakness of the Woodland Kingdom patrol was exposed in front of outsiders.The herald firmly believed that the situation this time must be affected by unexpected factors, which made it appear so different from the past.

But it is undeniable that before the accurate result of the elf prince was passed on, he really couldn't make a more detailed judgment.

Thranduil's ruthless attitude had already made the herald tremble.

Coupled with Elrond's astonishing questioning at this time, the elf felt ashamed and angry, almost unable to stand up.

"Because when the support arrived, the enemy had already left the place where the battle took place, and seemed to have sensed the rapid approach of other patrols and dropped the prisoners of war. Therefore, except for one soldier who was seriously injured, the other patrol members only lost their ability to fight. Because They were attacked suddenly and then lost consciousness, so they didn't know the enemy's situation. Based on the diagnosis of the wounded, the therapist can basically determine that the attacker was a dark creature. The spider is the most likely suspect. But His Royal Highness Legolas did not find any spider webs in the battle marks, and the toxin extracted from the wound was not any kind that the healer was familiar with before." Those who were also in the room had already understood everything Anis quickly opened his mouth to complete the information Elrond wanted to know, "At present, according to some traces of the enemy's activities, His Highness Legolas has tracked the area south of the Mirkwood Mountain Range, and at the same time sent the order The officer sent us a letter."

After listening, Lucius nodded clearly, understanding the current situation.

From the point of view of the patrol, this cannot be regarded as a very serious loss.

However, the presence of purely dark creatures like spiders in the area west of the Mirkwood Mountain Range is a sensitive signal enough to cause vigilance. You must know that that place is already north of the old forest road.In recent years, the team sent by the Woodland Kingdom and Changhu to assist in patrolling has always put the cordon against the dark creatures in the south on the line of the old forest road.

If we look at this attack from this perspective, it is enough to show that there are obvious loopholes in the joint defense line set up by the elves, dwarves and humans around the old forest road.

Such a signal would trigger a cascade of considerations and concerns.

Which part of the joint defense line has gone wrong?Elves, dwarves, humans, or the defense facility itself?Can the old forest road that has been repaired be considered a safe area now?

Why are there dark creatures there?Why this time?Why is it an unidentifiable target of attack?Do they have any special purpose?What kind of information is hidden behind such signs?Will it be the beginning of war?

The faces of the other elves present were also full of doubts, and they looked eagerly at the three lords in the room, eager to get some conclusive feedback.

Regrettably, both Lucius and Elrond chose to remain silent at this time.

Without more detailed information, it is futile to draw any conclusions.Moreover, what they are most worried about is not only the result that Legolas will bring back.

Thranduy was not surprised by Lucius's reaction, and turned his gaze back to Lucius' giant map.

This map, which occupies most of the wall of the study, is not something common.The entire map stretches from Beleger in the west, Loon in the east, Flowich in the north, and Near Harad in the south, covering almost all the regions they know.

Perhaps except for the elf territory inherited from ancient times, such a map can be found, it is impossible for other races to have such detailed records.

Moreover, compared with the ones owned by the elves, this map of Lucius may have many more annotations of the latest situation.

But if you really want to carefully taste every detail on the map, you can still find that key information in many places has been blurred.Of course, this is not the reason why the cartographers are perfunctory.

At the beginning, Lucius spent a lot of effort in making this map.Not only in order to plan a better layout for himself in the future, but also to eliminate the fallacies in the spread of information, Lucius not only collected all the maps of various places he could get, but also asked Qi Lier to hire travelers of different races in batches , bards, cross-compared with the information they knew, combined with many historical details that were only recorded in the elves, and finally grinded out the final version.

In addition to the key geographical and hydrological information such as mountains, rivers, dense forests, and deserts, the towns, actual spheres of influence, as well as the properties and numbers of people in various places, which he considers key information that Lucius can obtain, are all marked out one by one.Not bad.

Elrond had borrowed Lucius' study several times before, but if it wasn't for today's sudden incident, he would not have discovered the huge map hidden behind the study curtain.

The time it took Lucius to obtain this map was by no means as short as a few months, but he never thought that such an important moment would happen to happen when it was actually used.For a while, it amazed everyone who was lucky enough to witness it.

But the emotion of admiration was quickly dispelled, and everyone knew that the map itself was no longer the focus of their attention.

That's why Thranduil thought seriously about the map.

Since this is a typical Romanian production, only this area on the map has the most detailed information.Beyond that is the situation at some of the major human gathering points.

But the elf lords are most concerned about other points now.

Mordor in the southeast corner is the top priority, but obviously, the map's depiction of Mordor does not exceed the accumulation of the elves over thousands of years, and the situation after Sauron returned from the East is even more serious. unknown.

Nearer are the Gray Mountains to the north and the Gundaba Mountains.But that area is basically no man's land, and the information that can be collected is only a few words left in history.Although it is known that most of the orcs in the latest war came from there, the victor has so far not had the energy to go to that area to find out.The only one who can know some relevant information is the elf outpost set up by Thranduil in the upper reaches of the Jungle River.But the Woodland Elves never let their guard down there, nor have any more of late.

In addition, the nearest dark lair is Dol Guldur, which is not unfamiliar to Elrond, standing at the southwestern end of Mirkwood.

So far, for the vast majority of elves, humans, and dwarves, the vast forest from the Old Forest Road to Dol Guldur is still a forbidden area that cannot be set foot.

Of course, that is also the most likely starting point of the enemy this time.

"During the time in Long Lake, I had a lot of exchanges with caravans from all over the world." Elrond also stared at the map with a serious tone, "But whether it's this side or the trade route in Eriador, they all No abnormal changes in the dark forces were found. Several caravans from Rohan and Loningraderon have recently passed through the old forest road, and they also said that the road after the reopening is very smooth and there is nothing unusual."

This is precisely one of the important reasons why Elrond has been staying in Long Lake. Apart from trade hubs like Long Lake, Bree, and Edoras, there is no other place where so many intelligences can gather at the same time. information.

The elf lords, and those who want to make decisions at this time, are highly sensitive to any hint of darkness.They are always worried that the worst may happen.

But the most sought-after validations lie deep in dangerous places.

The information that ordinary human caravans can bring back is not enough to support any of their conclusions.

The elf lords immediately thought that the thing they had been most worried about had happened, but the known information was not enough to draw any conclusions.

"If it wasn't for Dol Guldur," Elrond looked back and forth on the map, and his inference was indeed even less optimistic, "could it be the brownfield...the East?"

Based on the intelligence of the human caravan and the feedback from Saruman who supervised Dol Guldur, Elrond's guessed direction can only shift to the east.

Thranduil was noncommittal about this.

Lucius' eyes extended from the place where the elf was attacked to the southwest, looking at the undetected space, and secretly sneered.

If it weren't for Dol Guldur, there would be no other possibility.

It's a pity that Elrond may not be able to get a real and reliable deduction clue in the short term.

"Report Your Majesty!" The door of the study was knocked open by the herald who hurried over, "His Royal Highness Legolas destroyed the enemy's lair in the Mirkwood Mountains, and there is no escape."

The author has something to say: By the way, the last update was in a hurry, and I didn’t find that Comrade Zai Yimu threw a shallow water bomb. I was flattered, thank you again! !

And, I'm sorry for the late update this time, and it's the season of recovery of all things recently, I really... have a lot of things~

Thank you guys for throwing landmines~~~
