The elites led by Allen and Childan are worthy of the rumors.
And they did defeat tens of thousands of Mordor's armies on the plains, but not in the Pelennor Fields.
So amidst the cheers of the people of Gondor, Allen didn't feel embarrassed at all.
This is the accessory and honor he deserves for fighting the darkness and helping the Kingdom of Gondor.
Thanks to Lord Turgon's propaganda, most residents naturally knew that among these reinforcements there were humans, elves, and even dwarves.
Amidst the cheers of "The ancient friendship still lasts forever", "The helping hand from the brothers, the kindness of gold", "That tough body also has a noble character." The residents also sprinkled a lot of cheers.
petals to welcome reinforcements to help their country.
And when we got closer, these thousands of fully armed, strong and fierce cavalry brought the atmosphere of the scene to a new height.
Even those women and children who did not know anything about military affairs could see that the eliteness of this army was comparable to that of the Praetorian Guards guarding the Royal City of Gondor, but its number was far several times greater than theirs.
Those with some knowledge discovered with sharp eyes that two-thirds of the reinforcements were elves, and they were full of confidence in the victory of this battle.
In the stories passed down orally in Gondor, the elves are always mysterious and powerful.
Presumably, with the help of the strong men in these stories to Gondor, the crisis in Minas Tirith will be resolved immediately, and they can return to their previous stable life.
At this time, the person in charge of greeting the people at the city gate was Turgon's "Keymaster" Galdor, who was also a member of the Council of Gondor.
With Turgon's current physical condition, it is simply impossible to leave the Tower of Ecthelion to greet his allies.
And his only son Ecthelion, the heir to the Chancellor of Gondor, is resisting the increasingly fierce attacks of the Haradurs in Osgiliath.
If possible, Turgon hopes that his reinforcements can go to the battlefield immediately to alleviate Gondor's current crisis.
However, the pride of the Númenóreans and Turgon's cultivation did not allow him to do such a thing. A grand welcome ceremony was always needed.
It is also necessary to accommodate the soldiers who have come from afar and give them a good rest.
Otherwise, let the friendly troops drag their tired bodies to the front line of the battlefield? This is extremely unwise behavior.
Most of the soldiers are placed in the first ring level of Baicheng. This is the largest area in Baicheng and is enough to house thousands of cavalry.
"Key Master" Galdo prepared a comfortable camp, plenty of food and scalding hot water for his allies there in a short period of time.
This is inseparable from the enthusiastic help of the people of Gondor, but they are willing to pay this hard work, and when they see the friendly troops, they feel that it is worth it.
If every time a country encounters a war, as long as they put in such a small amount of labor, they can receive such strong support, then they may laugh out loud even in their sleep.
After simply placing his men, Allen and his main partners set out on the road to the feast hall.
This includes Lagolas, Fili, Kress, James, the tall Grimm, Malherbe, and some of the mid-level and senior officers under his command.
There were also the Dúnedain who came to Gondor with Alan, but only the young Aragorn and Abinas came with them. Most of them chose to wander around the White City.
Rather than attending this banquet.
After all, their High King Yinsildur was also one of the founders of the Kingdom of Gondor, although his residence, Minas Yinsil, had been occupied by enemies.
But standing in Minas Anor was enough for them to feel the glory of the Númenóreans. Moreover, due to the arrival of reinforcements in the White City tonight, the streets could be said to be very lively.
Of course, Cirdan and Lindir also brought some elves with them, walking in the procession to the feast hall. They were not very interested in human banquets.
In addition to not wanting to reject the kindness of the Prime Minister of Gondor, the elves also felt that this trip took too long.
Although the time they spent marching with Allen was only four months at most, it had been almost half a year since they left their home.
After leaving their beloved homeland, most elves feel that time passes quickly and is very boring.
Especially the Noldor elves who live in Rivendell, living outside makes their bodies feel very tired, which is difficult to recover from.
The extremely old Chierdan has begun to miss the sea that he loves so much, and Lindir often misses the smoke-filled waterfalls in the valley with splashing water drops.
Therefore, both elves are eager to end the war, but this is not something that can be rushed. It always needs to be done bit by bit.
So the first step must be to get enough information from the prime minister.
Minas Tirith has a total of seven floors of buildings. Going from the first floor to the seventh floor, which is more than 200 meters high, even though the streets are wide enough for everyone to pass through on horseback, it does take some time.
Alan, who was looking around, didn't feel that the time had been too long. Even though he had seen many so-called high-rise buildings in his previous life, he was a little amazed at the Númenóreans' expertise in architecture.
Presumably they accumulated quite a lot of knowledge while living on Star Island.
According to Allen's understanding, the top of Minas Yinsil's tower could actually rotate slowly, and the marble walls shone brightly because it reflected the moonlight, making the moonlight and Minas Yinsil's houses rise and fall.
white.
If there was no magic in such a building, then Allen might have to look for the engine as a joke.
Aragorn, who was closely following Allen, felt a little complicated and heavy. He knew that he had the qualifications to inherit this kingdom.
But his status as a homeless person at this time did not match the high throne.
Since arriving in this kind of city, Aragorn has felt very confused, and his future is dark.
Allen did not notice the psychological changes in the young people, but this did not prevent him from sharing some of his insights about the city in front of the young Aragon.
Because their identities, up to now, are more of a teacher and student relationship, Allen thinks it is necessary to tell Aragon more knowledge.
"Estel."
Allen's soft call freed Aragorn from his random thoughts.
"Before this, I don't know if you have known about this city, but I think you may need to know something about its origins. When it was first established, its biggest role was actually to defend against the White Mountains
Men, you also know that the enemy’s ability to deceive people is extremely evil. There are always some of our compatriots who have been deceived and served him. The Númenóreans who came to Middle-earth once struggled with them."
After casually glancing around, Allen found several enthusiastic eyes. He smiled and nodded to the surrounding residents and continued talking about the previous topic.
"However, those humans who lived in the White Mountains eventually surrendered to the powerful Gondor and swore allegiance to Yin Sildur. However, when they fought against the enemy, they became timid and retreated under Yin Sildur's call.
That is a story that ends in tragedy, I will tell you in detail another day."
Having said this, Allen looked back at the calm-faced and heroic young man behind him, and suddenly had a strange idea in his mind.
The story about the King of the Dead is a very important thing for both Aragorn and Allen himself.
Because Allen knows that this incident is not a myth, it determines whether an army with powerful power can play its due role in fighting against darkness.
Although they cannot lead these undead to attack Sauron's base camp, they are enough to become a trump card and reverse the situation on the battlefield in an instant.
It's just that this trump card belongs exclusively to the descendants of Yin Sildur. In today's time, only Aragorn can barely use this trump card with the reforged Nasil.
Speaking of the people of the mountain, Allen suddenly thought that if he used this trump card now, he would definitely be able to solve the crisis in Pelagir immediately. At the same time, it would also greatly increase Gondor's voice at sea and defeat Um in one fell swoop.
The threat of Baal pirates is resolved.
It would be like cutting off one of Sauron's hands.
In fact, after waiting decades, Aragorn, who grew up and changed his name to "Thorongil", was also well aware of the threat of pirates and personally led a team to eliminate part of the pirates' power.
But that was not thorough enough, and Gondor's maritime power was still very weak, because building sea ships was an extremely labor-intensive and costly undertaking.
If Gondor can be helped to acquire a large number of ships in this battle and restore its former maritime hegemony, Allen will also be able to get more help when he counterattacks Sauron in the future.
But this idea only lasted in Allen's mind for a few seconds, because at this moment Aragorn was wearing the Noldor sigil sword on his waist, not the recast Anduriel.
What Allen didn't know was that Anduriel was recast by Elrond's two sons when Aragorn left Rivendell.
The long sword that represents the identity of Yin Sildu's descendants is currently being carried behind Lindir, but it is wrapped in many layers of protection and is not exposed to the world.
After Turgon's letter asking for help arrived in Rivendell, Elrond discussed it with Lady Gilraen for a long time. The two of them agreed that this war was actually a good opportunity.
If Allen can lead the Dúnedain and shine in this battle, Aragorn can also achieve achievements worthy of his status.
Then in the glory of rescuing Gondor, with the help of Alan and the elves, Yin Sildur's descendants will most likely get back the long-lost crown.
It's just that Allen didn't know about all this. Elrond once told Lindir not to tell Allen about this.
As for Aragorn, Elrond told him that everything was decided by himself.
This is an opportunity for the descendants of Yin Sildur to take back the throne, and it is also a test for Aragorn. Although he is only fifteen years old, he is a descendant of the royal family and not a child of ordinary people.
Whether he wants to seize this opportunity to inherit the throne or whether he needs help from others is up to Aragorn himself to think about and deal with.
Elrond only provided corresponding opportunities to his adopted son.
But if you want to get the throne back, you can only rely on Aragorn's own efforts. If he succeeds, he will succeed. If he fails, it means that the time is not ripe.
It can only be said that Aragorn does not have the ability and character to inherit the throne.
In other words, fate has not yet come to take care of Aragorn.
"In fact, Minas Tirith is very important both to Gondor and to the entire Middle-earth. Without it standing here, the enemy's claws will continue to extend. By then,
All nations that love peace and stable life will be threatened. Now it has stood here for more than two thousand years and has made great contributions to resisting darkness."
No matter how confused Aragorn's thoughts were, Allen still told the young man behind him the information about White City.
And, at the end of his words, Allen whispered: "If you have the opportunity, I suggest that you live here for a period of time after you become an adult to understand how this country operates, and at the same time pay attention to the thoughts of the people and nobles.
You are still young and may not know how important this information is to a leader who is in charge of a party. If you want to master it, you must first understand it, otherwise it will only be a castle in the air without any foundation."
Allen said these words just to give Aragorn a vaccination, because he could foresee that Aragorn would definitely live here for a period of time in the future.
And after experiencing this war, this time is likely to be much earlier, so Allen feels that it is still necessary to make some suggestions that he thinks are more important to the young Aragorn at this time.
If you want to manage a country well, especially a human kingdom like Gondor with complex ethnic groups and a vast territory, it is not enough to rely solely on the knowledge gained in Rivendell. Understanding and learning are the only ways.
But when these words reached young Aragorn's ears, they were no less than a thunderbolt.
At this moment, he even thought that the knowledgeable teacher already knew the plan buried deep in his heart and the heavy burden it brought.
After being surprised, Aragorn felt a little relieved. Since the teacher suggested that he come to live here after becoming an adult, he naturally wanted to tell himself the meaning of his words.
Now is not the opportunity to take back the throne of Gondor. He still needs to wait and grow.
Thinking of this, Aragorn nodded to Allen seriously to express his gratitude, and a heartfelt smile appeared on his calm face, just like a high-spirited young man who had found his way forward.
But "Key Officer" Galdo, who has been leading the way, is very confused. He doesn't quite understand why this human king from the northern country knows so much about Baicheng.
However, he did not ask any questions because of such doubts. He just silently performed his responsibilities and brought everyone to the banquet hall on the seventh floor of the city.
At the entrance of the banquet hall, two tall elders and a slightly shorter young man were waiting for the arrival of a group of people.
