Chapter 108 The deal is completed and Gandalfs visit
Ever since the Kingdom of Arnor was destroyed by the Angmar Witch Kingdom, for nearly a thousand years, the only remaining descendants of Arnor have been living an extremely hidden life, rarely revealing their identities in front of others, even if they need to communicate with Ciel or
They are residents of Bree Town, and most of them appear to people as vagrants.
Tracing back to the specific reason, it was because they were worried about the enemies of their ancestors and wanted to exterminate the remaining bloodline.
Yin Sildur's greatest enemy is naturally the Dark Lord Sauron. In the Battle of the Last Alliance, Sauron faced the siege of the elves and the human alliance and had to leave Barad-dur in the hope of breaking the siege.
To restore his own side's decline, his participation in the war did deal a heavy blow to the alliance between elves and humans. As soon as he appeared on the scene, he killed the two supreme kings of the alliance.
Gil-galad, the High King of the Noldor, and Elendil, the High King of the Númenóreans, both fell in this battle. In addition, Sauron also broke Elendil's sword Naxi
you.
Originally, the outcome of this war was already obvious by this point, but at this extremely critical moment, Yin Sildu used the Nasil Broken Sword beside him to cut off Sauron's finger wearing the Supreme Ring.
Sauron of the Supreme Ring suffered heavy damage and self-destructed on the spot in an instant, and Yin Sildur became the most dazzling hero in this battle.
It is conceivable how much Sauron, who has suffered such humiliation, hates Yin Sildur and his descendants. Gondor has been at war with each other for two thousand years. If he knows that there are still remnants of the Kingdom of Arnor,
Bloodline, he will probably send his capable men to clean out all these Dúnedain.
The Dúnedain who are now living in seclusion also know this, so their daily actions are very stealthy. Even Ms. Gilraine, who already has the power of the patriarch at this time, only brought a dozen subordinates with her when she came to Wilderness Town.
, and also dressed up as a small caravan.
Of course, Allen also knew the behavior habits of the Dúnedain, so he did not welcome Ms. Gilraine's visit with great fanfare. Instead, he was very careful to send out the Dúnedain on the third day after the Dúnedain came to Wilderness Town.
The attendants around you come to invite guests to your residence.
After all, the current wilderness town is a mixed bag, and no one knows which one is related to the power that has fallen into darkness. Necessary caution should still be maintained.
This was not the first time Gilraine had seen Allen. Looking at the "young man" in front of her who was several years older than herself, she said, "Madam, welcome to my territory as a guest, please take a seat." She suddenly felt a little confused.
A sudden feeling.
Through Lord Elrond's introduction, Gilraen thought that Allen was just a Númenórean who was living abroad and in a pretty good situation. At that time, she was still thinking about whether to discuss with the elders of the tribe to transfer Allen to
Accept the Hui people into the country so that they will not be left alone.
When they met again, Allen had transformed into a human king with tens of thousands of people, and he also took back the treasure "Elendil Star" belonging to the Kingdom of Arno from the prestigious Saruman.
, which gave Ms. Gilraine an unreal feeling.
"Thank you for your warm hospitality, Your Majesty Allen." After trying to dispel the strange thoughts in his mind, Gilraine responded to Allen's greetings with some restraint, and then sat on the opposite side of the wooden table, two solemn expressions.
The Dúnedain ranger stood behind her.
"You don't need to be so reserved, ma'am. We've known each other for a long time. Isn't Estelle here? How is he lately?"
Allen saw that Gilraen was a little reserved, so he did not choose to discuss business matters at the beginning. Instead, he opened his mouth to care about Aragorn, who was still young. He should be thirteen years old now, and he was far away from the real world.
There should still be seven years left until adulthood.
"Thank you for your concern. Estaire did not come with you. You also know that he is not suitable to participate in these things now, but he misses you very much and has always hoped that you can go to the valley to see him when you have time.
."
When talking about his son, Allen noticed a look of pride on Gilraine's face. It is conceivable that Aragorn must have grown up very well due to his mother's education at a young age.
As for those words about missing him, Allen thought it was more of a courtesy. After all, he and Aragorn had only met once.
The topic ended here, and the scene fell into a slightly awkward situation. In the end, Allen spoke first.
"Madam, Abinas should have conveyed my thoughts to you. Then the property returns to its original owner. Please take this back."
After speaking, Allen waved his hand, and his maid Alice brought the wooden box containing the Star of Elendil to Gilraen.
Looking at the box in front of her, Ms. Gilraine's expression became more serious and she said, "I already know your thoughts. I have also communicated this matter with most of the tribe. Our final decision is to send five hundred
Soldiers participated in your war. In order to negotiate this matter, it took some time and made you wait for a long time. I hope you will not take it too little. This is already our limit."
Allen was a little surprised when he heard that he could obtain five hundred experienced warriors. He did not expect that the Dúnedain could still bring out so much power.
“So what’s the cost of hiring them?”
Gilraen shook her head after hearing Allen's words and said: "No, you don't need to pay an extra price for this. Compared with the Star of Elendil, what we paid is far from enough, but I think
What I want to explain to you is that these people will not come to Wilderness Town right away. They will come here in batches starting from October, and they will probably all arrive by September next year. As you know, we have no way to do it here.
Large-scale operations will be carried out during this period. We ask for your understanding and hope that you will take good care of them during this period. In addition..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this point, Gilraine seemed a little embarrassed on her face.
"Only three hundred of these five hundred people are experienced warriors. They have a full set of weapons and equipment. The other two hundred people are the ones we have rescued from the orcs over the years. They do not know our identity, but they have always
They all assist us in maintaining the peace of Eriador. They are only auxiliary soldiers. We also hope that you will not send them to too dangerous places. By the way, Abinas will help you manage them."
"No problem, I will arrange everything. Thank you again for your help." Allen smiled and nodded, indicating that he understood.
"You are welcome, Your Majesty Allen. We are both of Númenor's blood, so we should help each other. What's more, you returned such an important treasure to us. I should be the one to say thank you."
When Gilraine saw that Allen didn't have any displeasure on his face, he felt relieved and stood up to leave.
"Your Majesty Allen, if there is nothing else, please allow me to leave. It has been a little too long this time."
Allen knew that Gilraen still needed to take care of Aragorn, who was only thirteen years old, so he had no idea of retaining him and said: "Well, have a nice trip, madam, if you need any help in the future, please feel free to ask, I will
Will do our best to help.”
"Thank you." Gilraine nodded, turned around, took the two rangers, and left Allen's residence.
Five hundred warriors is indeed the limit for the Dúnedain. This is due to the fact that after the Battle of the Lonely Mountain, the orcs in the Misty Mountains and Gundabad Mountain have entered silence. Even the Angmar Mountains and Etten
The minions of darkness in the wasteland are all hiding in a gray shape. They have not come out to cause trouble for many years, otherwise they would not be able to gather so many soldiers.
Compared with Allen's situation, the Dúnedain are actually the group that needs more help. Rebuilding the Kingdom of Arnor is the consensus of all Dúnedain, but their power at this time is too weak and it is impossible.
They rashly raised the flag of the Kingdom of Arnor in Eriador, but they never gave up on this idea.
The elders of the Dúnedain are willing to do their best to help Alan at this moment. In addition to exchanging for their own "Star of Elendil", they also have the idea of establishing a good relationship with Alan.
When there is a chance to rebuild the kingdom, you can get more help.
This point coincides with Allen's idea. He is on the line with the Dúnedain people this time and hopes to give them some help in the future, so that the Dúnedain people can recover some of their strength and be able to fight in a few decades.
In the Holy War of the Ring, use a certain amount of strength to resist Sauron's attack, and don't let Gondor face it all alone.
However, in the dead of night, Allen always wonders if he can prevent the arrival of the Lord of the Rings Jihad, whether he can buy more time for the development of the forces of the free people. But the key to this is the poor Gulu.
The Hobbit, because Sauron obtained Bilbo's identity from Gollum, thus starting a total war.
When Allen saw Gollum in Orc Town, all he could think of was the scene of two hobbits fighting at Mount Doom. I always felt that Gollum would play a huge role in the coming days, so I let it go.
This poor guy.
In fact, Alan, who thought of this later, personally went to Steele Mining Town to search for Gollum, but found nothing. It was obvious that the hobbit who had lost the ring had left here. According to Gollum's instructions
Because of his habit, he will definitely not appear in front of the crowd, and ordinary people will not feel his presence at all.
Allen, who had lost his goal, could only give up the idea temporarily. Then he thought, how could other forces of the free people compete with Sauron, the dark lord, in terms of development speed? Orcs seemed to fall from the sky.
Similarly, only he who has a simulator can conjure combat-effective warriors out of thin air and equip them with weapons and equipment. If he can catch Gollum, then it is naturally good. If he cannot, he still needs to work harder.
That’s all.
Just as Allen was intensively preparing to launch an attack on the Dongyi people, his old friend Gandalf the gray robe wizard ran to Wilderness Town. He did not come specifically to find Allen, but went to the Woodland Kingdom to find Thran.
Governor Yin, he hoped that the Woodland Kingdom, which still had strong strength, could send some elven troops to help Gondor who was facing a crisis. However, Governor Thrand refused because the Dongyi people were at his doorstep. Not only the Woodland Kingdom, but also the Luo
Silorien also rejected Gandalf's request for help. The threat lurking deep in Moria is still Lady Galadriel's greatest concern.
Next, Gandalf is going to Rivendell to seek help from the Golden Flower Lord Glorfindel. At least this powerful light elf can suppress Sauron's servants on the battlefield. Their fearful atmosphere has a real impact on the morale of the Gondor army.
It's too big, but Glorfindel doesn't stay in Rivendell all the time, so Alan can only wish him good luck.
While the two were chatting, Gandalf talked about seeing a strange figure in the black forest. The man seemed to have been corrupted by the darkness for a long time and had turned into an ugly monster. However, Gandalf did not look at him.
I felt the breath of the dark minions on my body, and at the same time I was worried about the war in Gondor, so I didn't pay attention to this strange creature at that time.
As soon as Allen heard this, he knew that Gollum should have been summoned by Mordor and went to the east. There he should have met Shilob, the big spider also known as Shelob. Decades later, he would have met Shilob.
Being captured by Sauron, he revealed the whereabouts of Bilbo. At this point, Allen also knew that his idea of delaying the Holy War of the Lord of the Rings had failed. In the vast Rovanian, it was really difficult to find a little Gollum.
It was too difficult. Without the guidance of fate, even Desaiwei, who had reached the full level of reconnaissance and guide, could not do it. The time left for Allen at this time was just those decades.
However, Allen did not show all this in front of Gandalf. He asked Gandalf if he needed his help. Gandalf shook his head, but instead mentioned that if Allen has the idea of defeating the Dongyi people in the near future, then he should do it as soon as possible.
Because Sauron's attention was entirely focused on Anorion at this time, the cavalry of Rohan and the warriors of Gondor had been fighting the orc army there for nearly half a year, and both sides suffered heavy losses.
Although the power of the Ringwraiths is very powerful, there are always many fearless warriors among humans who can regroup under the intrusion of the Ringwraiths. Gandalf helped a lot in this. Although he arrived a little late, he still
Defeated several Nazgul in the battle and allowed them to return to their masters, greatly reducing the pressure on the human side.
And he was able to escape and come to Rovanian to ask for help because Saruman in Orthanc, after several letters of help from Gondor, came to the front line to help in person. With his help, Gondor and Rohan
The soldiers can be regarded as fighting Mordor head-on.
Hearing such news, Allen was surprised. He would never have thought that Saruman would lend a helping hand to Gondor at this time. This was not in line with the white-robed wizard's personality at this time.
In fact, Saruman is also full of helplessness. At this moment, he is an ally of Gondor in every sense. Faced with the request for help from Turgon, the prime minister of Gondor, he simply cannot refuse. Once he openly refuses, after the war,
The Council of Gondor wanted to take back Orthanc. At this time, he had no strength to defend his base camp, so the wise white-robed wizard had to stop his research and walked out of the tower, carrying the recent
The gathered Dunlanders rushed to the battlefield.
Although the Dunlanders were extremely reluctant to work with the Rohirrim in fortifications, who asked Saruman to give too much? In addition to a large sum of money, the white-robed wizard even promised to give away part of Isengard's land.
Giving them grazing and farming is a reward that is too rich for the poor people to refuse.
Saruman also paid a huge price to maintain his pride of face.
Allen, who couldn't think clearly about all this, always felt that "fate" was playing tricks on everyone, and he could only do his best to deal with the coming war.
