Elrond had a terrible headache.

The situation of the talks has turned into the same stalemate as before, with noisy exchanges and no definite results.

As the organizer of almost every tripartite meeting, perhaps he is really the one who most wants the meeting to draw some conclusions.

It is undeniable that there are many irreconcilable contradictions among Rohan, Gondor, elves and dwarves.These problems left over from history cannot be bridged overnight or between gains and losses.

Of course, in terms of the progress made so far, this meeting has achieved better results than all previous talks under the background of the demonic flames burning to the sky and the city of Rohan being destroyed.This point can also be reflected in the identities of the envoys sent by the two southern human countries.

Son of Thurgon, Regent of Gondor, Exhirion II, handsome and very young.However, during the negotiation process, the young man showed an unusual composure and insisted on his own ideas. He always responded to Rohan's angry criticism with a gentle but firm tone: "I understand what Rohan is facing now. urgent situation, but Gondor also has its own insurmountable difficulties. The problem of pirates has not been resolved, and there has been a tendency to gradually intensify harassment in recent years. This makes it difficult for us to resist the huge pressure from the south at the same time. This reality does not It is not up to our thoughts. If all the people of Rohan go to Gondor to take refuge, the southern line of Gondor will not be able to withstand the impact of the enemy."

"Besides," he emphasized with a frown, "if Rohan moves across the board, there will be no resistance on the entire grassland. If Gondor also loses enough resistance, there will be no resistance to Mordor's northward march." ...I think this is not the result that the elf lords are willing to see. In this case, why don't we focus more on discussing how to improve Rohan's defense capabilities?"

The Rohan envoy clenched his fists and wanted to refute, when the young son of the regent raised his hand.He clicked on the map spread out on the wide table, and selected the Mosong River in the western hinterland of Gondor: "We are willing to open up this land in the west so that the old, weak, women and children of Rohan can take refuge and survive. But in the frontal battlefield Still there must be the peoples of our two nations, and there must be all the strength of Men, Elves and Dwarves to stand together."

The envoy of Rohan stared at the circled place with an unpredictable expression, as if he had reached a deadlock again.

Even the largest number of Silvan elves, their total number is less than one-twelfth of human beings. Even if their combat power is obviously stronger than that of humans, this is not destined to be a battlefield dominated by them.

This is where Elrond is most weak.

"But now, Amon Hen Castle has been completely damaged. It would cost too much to repair it, and we are too late. Now, on the entire line of defense from south to north in Rohan, we have no danger to defend, no city to defend It is defensible. If you want to retreat the defense line, there is no better military castle to choose from on this grassland. This is also a problem that we cannot overcome. And if we abandon the city defense and start fighting with the orcs on the open plain, Then even if we obtain sufficient resources from you, there is no chance of winning. Even if our king is willing to use the entire territory as a battlefield, it will only be a losing battle. Besides, the logistics supply itself is a Huge problem."

"Roslorian can provide you with a batch of elven weapons at the lowest price." Galadriel said.

"Even with better equipment, it would be difficult for human fighters to fully display the power of these weapons without you teaching them the corresponding skills and tactics." direction.

It's a good sign that the elf rarely let go.It's a pity that he didn't get the expected response.

At this time, both Galadriel and Thranduy remained silent.

"As far as I know," the envoy of Rohan looked around and spoke again after a brief silence, "Many of the herdsmen in our country have moved north, even to Changhu Town in the north. I don't know if this strategy can also be applied What about the people who are still in Rohan? Although leaving their homes is the result none of us want to see. But instead of staying on the plains and being helpless in the face of the killing of the half-orcs, it is better to take the initiative to migrate , looking for a stronghold for defensive counterattack."

The insinuations in human discourse have become almost explicit.If Rohan really chooses to abandon the border and move north across the board, it will actually be a threat to the elves.Without the cover of Rohan, the elves would go from the relative rear against Mordor to the front line, and the first to bear the brunt was Roslorien on the Anduin.

But at this moment, none of the elves cared about the offense of the messenger of Rohan.They also knew that Vanjel of Rohan would not give up his land until the last moment.

Of course, Gondor, who is also a human being, is naturally the last thing to see Rohan give up resistance.The young humans are still trying to convince their allies to do their part.Rohan's move to the north will not only destroy the fragile alliance of the three races, but Gondor will also be completely reduced to a lone army fighting in the south: "In fact, the first thing we can do now is try to figure out the number of enemies. , the number of enemies is boundless and invincible, even if we have the best castle and the best weapons, we will not be able to win the final victory. People's fear is mostly born from this."

"But in fact, I think this is impossible. I also heard about the Battle of the Five Armies a few years ago, and the orcs must have suffered heavy losses in that war. It is impossible for them to outnumber us so much that they cannot resist degree. Gondor and Rohan can share the responsibility of spying on the enemy, but I think this really needs solid support from the rear. I wonder if the elves can send support and become our most important help? I think no one would want to The scouts we sent to the front have heard the latest situation, but because they don't have enough ability to get rid of the pursuit, they can't send the information back to our command camp, right?"

Rohan and Gondor became allies of the same camp again for the purpose of gaining the assistance of as many elves as possible.As soon as Exhirion II's words fell, the Rohan envoy felt sorry and asked, "If there is really no suitable thunderstorm in Rohan, can we retreat north to the edge of the forest? As far as I know, that castle, Dol Guldur, should be a safe and abandoned city? The evil black magician has been expelled, right? Can that place become a shelter for the people of Rohan?"

This proposal caused Galadriel and Thranduy to change their expressions at the same time.The female elf leader was already a little tired of human demands, but her expression was not obvious.Thranduil's reaction was much more straightforward and strong: "Even if it has indeed become a relatively 'safe' area in a certain sense, it does not mean that the evil darkness has been purified. If humans Nothing good will come of setting foot in that accursed land. Or are you indeed, more willing to associate with dark beings than your own kind?"

The envoy of Rohan felt depressed.Rather than being influenced by dark forces, getting a safe haven is the core appeal of Rohan.Although he wanted to argue a few more words, he was interrupted by another voice before he could speak.

Saruman, who had just returned to the conference hall, spoke unhurriedly, with a meaningful and pointed tone: "I'm afraid the facts will not be what you think."

"What are you going to say?" Thranduil frowned.

"I've always been advising you that when you come this time, you should invite your guest from another world." Saruman shook his head, showing a very regretful expression.

The topic was caught off guard by Lucius, Thranduy couldn't help frowning, and said displeasedly: "He wants to stay in Long Lake, and I won't force him to go along."

"Obviously, unnecessary kindness will only leave future troubles. I didn't expect His Majesty the Elven King to be so weak-willed."

"Why is Lucius involved?" Elrond asked in surprise, "I thought this part was not involved in the invitation I sent."

"But the letter we received specified that Lucius should be brought here after being controlled." Hadien interjected angrily.

Elrond looked at Saruman in shock: "You changed the content of the invitation?"

The latter did not respond, but glanced at Galadriel.

Under the calm expression, it shows the identities of all the insiders.The lord obviously approved of Saruman's approach.

"how……"

"By now," Saruman raised his voice, interrupting Elrond rudely once more angrily, "it is pointless to dispute whether this disposition is proper or not. I have just received word that your man who is unwilling to leave The guest of the lake has entered the land cursed and polluted by darkness of which you speak. Dol Guldur," Saruman said to the messenger of Rohan immediately, "I think the new stronghold you favor It has already been taken by others."

"Impossible!" Thranduil immediately denied.

"Whether you believe it or not, that is the truth. Or, his actions were actually ordered by you?" Saruman's hint of ill intentions made human beings suddenly vigilant.

"It's impossible, His Majesty specifically ordered..." Hadien was anxious to explain, but he was also rudely planned.

"I said a long time ago that the people you protect are not safe." Saruman affirmed his conclusion.

"Your suspicions are groundless." Thranduil retorted angrily.

"When those dark creatures invade Mirkwood on their own initiative, why should he risk his life?" Saruman was not afraid of Thranduil's anger. The reaction I hope to see, "Or can you explain to us, the important prophecy about this visitor from outer space that you have been hiding?"

The wizard paused and smiled triumphantly: "The light that shines in the darkness will eventually fall into the darkness? It should be about our dragon slaying warrior, the dark elf Lucius, right?"
