[Hobbit+HP] The truth of elves

After Lucius and the half-orcs had a dispute over the "development route", Lucius, who was in a strong position, failed to gain complete control of Dol Guldur so simply.

The half-orcs of Dol Guldur still did not act as Lucius ordered.They couldn't say that Lucius, the titular ruler, didn't dare to confront Lucius openly, but they could defy him.

When Lucius sent the elf guards to inquire about the progress of the fortifications at the east entrance, the half-orcs only reasoned that the logistics were busy preparing the armaments that Sauron wanted, and they couldn't help it.

The soul-captured elf was the same as Lucius himself. Hearing the words, he just stared at the orc coldly, and said, "You'd better pray that such an argument can convince the devil."

The half-orc bit the bullet and didn't answer the words, nor did he change his actions.Lucius also let the elf who sent the message leave, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry.

The other half-orcs didn't have enough courage to fight against the people above the palace. Seeing the elves leaving like this, they all surrounded the commander in panic.

The little commander gritted his teeth, and was extremely dissatisfied with the elf's reaction: "Without our cooperation, I don't believe he can do anything alone. With the previous record and the armaments delivered, the Demon Lord can't blame us for not working hard. Now he needs us to do his job, not us begging him."

He said so, and he believed so.As long as Lucius has no manpower, of course he must compromise with the orcs in the end.The benefits they obtained before were all obtained from Angmar's men in this way.

But the half-orc's ideal was quickly shattered, and in a form he could not have imagined.

A large number of humans came to Dol Guldur to surrender, and the number was not small, and it was still increasing.Since the first day when someone came forward to recommend themselves, there have been people coming from different directions one after another, with various appearances and identities.For this, Lucius did not give any explanation, nor did he regard these as a big deal. He turned around and arranged for these human groups to station at the east entrance, and did not let them stay in Dol Guldur.

The half-orc leader waited and watched for two days after hearing the news, but he still didn't receive any letter from Lucius, so he immediately felt a little bad.

Although the number of human beings who came here was not enough to compare with the dark creatures that had been lingering for many years, such an increasing trend made him unstoppably worried.

From a few sporadic elves to batch after batch of humans, Lucius has inexplicably added one after another powers that have nothing to do with the orcs.All of these are weakening the half-orcs' reliance on fighting for their own interests.

When he hurried to the outside of Lucius' bedroom, he happened to see a tall black-haired human coming to Lucius, knelt down on one knee, and saluted with his right hand on his chest. His eyes were fanatical and devout and he said: " It's an honor for Coroche to serve you, Your Excellency Lucius! I can finally come to your side!"

Lucius stood there with no expression on his face.

"How could you put humans here?" The half-orc looked back and forth between the elves and humans, becoming more disturbed and annoyed the more he looked.But the more unscrupulous Lucius was, the less he dared to make any noise.

"Since half-orcs don't need this task, I won't force it." Lucius didn't even look at him, but nodded slightly to signal Koroche to get up, "There are some other creatures who are willing to respond to the call of the devil to join him. I said It's your decision, don't regret it yourself."

The half-orc still refused to bow his head: "What can you do with just a few human beings!"

The East Gate is the ruins of a human city on the east side of the southernmost end of the Dark Forest. It is the only place where Rohan merchants cross the Anduin River and the Brownfields and head north to the Long Lake.The once extremely prosperous city thousands of years ago was abandoned due to the terrible plague until it became one of the most famous scenic spots that can only be seen from a distance in the middle of the business road.No one knows whether everything buried under the ruins will be entangled by the plague, and no one has ever dared to think about it.

However, since it was able to develop into a human settlement far exceeding the scale of Long Lake and River Valley City, it must have natural advantages that the latter two do not have.

The distance between Romania and the human kingdom in the south is extremely far, and there is nothing in between except a large desert and wilderness.

Before the flames of war in the south spread to the range of the Gloomy Forest, this large area was deserted and ignored.Once the North-South war situation is affected at the same time, the East Gate will be stuck at the throat of the main axis of the North-South linkage.

By comparison, the old forest roads farther from Dol Guldur were not that important at all.As long as the passage capacity of that avenue is destroyed, it will cut off the possibility of the northern troops passing through the natural barrier of the dark forest from there.And this, Lucius has easily achieved through his own settings a few years ago.

Lucius's performance in the dark camp has always been serious and positive, and he also knows the value of Dongkou very well.As long as the east entrance can be successfully controlled, no matter how powerful the entire Romanian army is, it will be difficult to affect the situation in the south.

But the problem is that the ruins at the east entrance are very large and cannot be repaired in a short period of time, let alone build a line of defense out of nothing that meets Lucius' requirements and can meet Sauron's strategic goals.

The human beings found only by following the clues left by the dark world are not enough to complete such a project.

However, these are not all that Lucius can activate.

After all, the news that Lucius had surrendered to Sauron was only circulated among the high-level members of the light camp, and they have not tried to spread the news until now.Maybe it was because they felt disgraceful, or because they thought there was no need to make a fuss, but their choices left room for Lucius to take advantage of.

Coroche, who came later than other humans, did something to stir up the flames for Lucius.He not only released the recruitment information in the dark world, but also spread the news to the vast human world.Lucius is a well-known dragon slaying warrior, a strong fighter against evil forces. The news that he is willing to set up a territory in Dongkou to protect human beings surprised most ordinary people who are deeply mired in war.

Whether Dol Guldur is safe or not is not a situation that all humans can grasp.So Lucius himself stood up and said what he was going to do, and of course it would be taken as something by those who heard the news.

The statement of the shelter is like a boulder thrown into a deep pool, causing waves.

In desperation, there are definitely not a few humans who are willing to believe in Lucius.

If Lucius could only rely on the orcs who were already in the dark camp to achieve achievements under Sauron, his choice of switching camps would have no meaning.

No matter where Malfoy wants to win his own living space, he will not allow himself to be controlled by others.This is their principle of doing things.

The method of recruiting humans worked as expected, and the complete control of Dol Guldur was only one step away from integrating the dark creatures, mainly orcs.But Lucius himself couldn't care less about reveling in it.

After making the Horcrux and absorbing the curse, Lucius urgently needed enough rest before he could fully recover his fighting power.But the situation outside Dol Guldur forced him to not completely close himself up and focus on recovery.

To achieve the goal, one must step by step, one thing after another kept slowing down the progress of Lucius' recovery.

After the human swarms at the East Gate took shape, Lucius could have bought himself some respite.

But the enemy, who was waiting for an opportunity, did not give him this opportunity.

One morning, Lucius, who was still asleep, was awakened by an obvious power fluctuation, and the projection of the Dark Lord fell without warning in the hall reserved only for Sauron.The white-robed wizard also came uninvited at the same time.

When Lucius hurried to the hall, he met Saruman's malicious eyes.

"As I said just now, Your Majesty the Demon Monarch, the current situation of Lucius is indeed very noticeable." Saruman bowed his head in Sauron's direction and said humbly.

Seeing this, even if Lucius didn't know why these two came, he could still know that his situation was not good.Before he came to the hall, Saruman's words were clearly very specific.

Sauron's projection seems to be a little more illusory than before, which seems to be a reflection of his declining strength.

But this is still not good news for Lucius now.

The battle between the Horcrux and the curse was not completely over, and he was not sure that he would be able to hide the truth from Sauron, even though what he had to face now was the Dark Lord whose strength in the projection state had not reached [-]%.

Moreover, Lucius could immediately guess that the visit of these two must have been influenced by external factors other than Saruman's slander.

It's just that Lucius, who has been acting in peace recently and stationed in Dol Guldur, didn't hear any rumors.

Meyersi, who has been delivering food to the City Lord's Mansion through secret channels, is also helping Lucius to collect outside information.And the former mercenary cook didn't hear anything major happen.It seemed that the whole world had quieted down after the Orc cavalry attacked Ward last time, only an atmosphere of anxiety pervaded everywhere.

It is impossible for Sauron to be inactive, and it is impossible for the battle to stagnate.

This shows that accidents can only happen in areas that only a very few people can understand.

So there's a good chance that something has changed with regards to the One Ring.

The Ring Spirit crossed the river to obtain this vital ring, and it may have failed.

But what does this have to do with Lucius?

Lucius stood respectfully, neither arguing nor panicking.

Those who can be exposed have long been made public; those who want to hide have already gone all out.The rest that can't happen is not something that Lucius can control at this time.

The sight of the projected bet quickly locked on him, with a creepy feeling.

"I just got a little inspiration from my words, so I came up with this method to deal with my own predicament." Soren paused, and the danger hidden under the banter gradually appeared in his vague voice, "You are indeed very clever."
