Chapter 33 Allens three legions and their departure.

During these days, Allen was busier than ever.

Since the road from Wilderness Town to Muma Village is not accessible, Jamila cannot take over the affairs of Muma Village for the time being.

She doesn't have enough time and energy to deal with these things. After all, building a new village and managing a village are two different things.

Allen had to personally command his men, mobilize various materials and manpower, and cooperate with the young Yatiman to do construction work in Muma Village.

These tasks are not difficult for Allen, but they are too tedious.

There were many small things that required Allen's decision-making, which tied Allen tightly to his tent.

But with Allen's full cooperation and the tireless work of thousands of people, the construction speed of the village is much faster than that of the wilderness village.

Finally, on the first day of the Third Age of The Lord of the Rings, 2941, the construction of Muma Village came to an end.

Allen had previously designated this day as the New Year. As long as there were no emergencies, he would fund this day every year and invite everyone to a banquet, where everyone could drink and have fun as much as they wanted.

In fact, during this period of time, Allen, who sat in the tent every day, did not only complete this job.

He re-integrated the troops in his hands and prepared to form them into an army fully equipped with infantry, archers, and cavalry.

Previously, Allen's dinars were not rich, and he did not have enough weapons and equipment to arm his conscripts.

Now it's okay. Allen is much richer. He has more than 200,000 dinars, enough manpower and horses, and also purchased an ordnance from the Woodland Kingdom, which is enough to form several different legions.

To this end, Allen convened a military meeting, attended by Fatis, Bandak, Alleyne, Horimion, Desaivi, and Jamila. There was no way, the army also had to eat.

no.

At the meeting, after discussing with other personnel, Allen decided to refer to Rhodok's military system and use military organizations such as ten-man squads, hundred-man squadrons, and legions.

But unlike Rodock, Allen's ten-man squad includes ten people, including the captain, and the same goes for the hundred-man brigade.

The legion commander controls all captains and has a personal guard system of up to 20 people to assist them in managing the army.

Of course, most of the soldiers who make up these armies are still conscripts who farm in their spare time and wear armor in wartime.

The personal guards, squad captains, group captains and legion commanders will receive a good additional salary as a reward for their participation in daily management.

If they were professional soldiers before, they would receive two salaries.

After deciding on the basic management regulations, Allen began to accept the fate of the commanders of each legion.

Fatis will serve as the commander of the cavalry corps.

All the cavalry in Allen's hands barely formed four centuries, most of which were composed of Kugits and a small number of surrendered prisoners.

Most of the officers are Swadian Knights and Kugit Lancers.

Allen spent tens of thousands of dinars to replenish their equipment, including weapons and leather armor.

Fatis's personal bodyguards were composed of Swadian prisoners brought back by Allen a few years ago.

After several years of labor reform, they have successfully become Allen's subjects. Fatis is their fellow villager and usually takes good care of them, so this happened naturally.

Allen then handed Dine's gifts, the ten sets of human armor and ten dwarf swords, to Fatis and let him handle them on his own.

It turned out that Alleyn, who was the captain of the personal guard, was arranged by Allen to be the commander of the infantry regiment.

Allen used all the resources at hand to form a melee force of 600 people, mainly composed of Rhodok's soldiers and forest residents.

Among them were a hundred heavy infantry wearing chain armor, holding giant shields, and holding melee weapons.

There were also five hundred light infantry wearing leather armor and armed with elven spears. Since they were mostly composed of woodland dwellers, they all also carried their own bows and arrows.

The officers of the infantry are mainly composed of Rhodok soldiers, which does not mean that their combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of the forest residents.

It's because they have participated in the army training of the Rhodok Kingdom and have some experience in organizing teams.

The equipment of these soldiers almost emptied most of Allen's savings, especially the one hundred heavy infantry wearing iron armor, which cost Allen tens of thousands of dinars.

In the end, Allen also sent ten Nord royal guards to Alleyn as personal guards, so that during the battle, the young man would not get up and rush too far forward without anyone to protect him.

Allen thinks that Alleyne should be qualified for this job.

There is no need to consider this young man's loyalty. He himself is a noble and has received a complete noble education.

Over the years, I have fought many big and small battles with myself, and I have gained a certain amount of experience.

He needed a chance to prove himself, Allen was willing to give it to him, and Allen accepted it very excitedly.

Moreover, Alleyn will have Bandak to cooperate with him, because Bandak will command a long-range army of 400 people.

They are mainly composed of Rhodok crossbowmen and forest dwellers, including one hundred crossbowmen, and three hundred archers using elven longbows.

Their officers are mainly composed of Allen's former bodyguards and Rhodok marksmen.

Infantrymen and shooters usually fight together, so Bandak will also act with Alleyne. If there are any problems, Bandak and Alleyne can also discuss with each other.

After all, Bandak has at least several decades of military career and is very experienced.

As for Allen's personal guard, it will be composed of Horimion and the Noldor Twilight Knights. They are also considered the most powerful force in Allen's hands.

And they will follow Allen to the most dangerous place on the battlefield.

In the end, De Sevi will become the reconnaissance captain, leading the dozens of Kugit cavalry archers to complete the daily reconnaissance work, which can be regarded as a relief for the Swadia knights. After all, their job is to charge the cavalry.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! These three legions are most of the wealth that Allen has accumulated in the four or five years since he came here, and they are also the basis for his confidence to participate in the Battle of the Five Armies.

Of course, Allen still has some other forces, such as Beorn's tribe, and hundreds of reserve teams that are not particularly well equipped. Wait, there is no need to mention these.

It is worth mentioning that since these troops are not conventional troops, they still have to participate in farming and construction work.

Allen's current requirement is to train once a week. These people have been fighting orcs all year round. There is no shortage of combat experience and courage. What they lack is mutual cooperation and awareness of discipline.

After all, in Allen's impression, it would take some time for the Battle of the Five Armies to begin.

If it is the original work, then at least it should be a period of time after the Day of Durin (roughly around the end of October), which is the winter of this year.

If it were a movie, the timeline would obviously be messed up. Anyway, Eren will also participate in the dwarf expedition, and he will always come back. Now he is just making preparations.

After finishing all the work, Allen waited for Gandalf to pick him up.

It should be very soon. Whether it is the original book or the movie, Gandalf met Thorin Oakenshield for the first time in March of this year.

Later, the Lonely Mountain Expedition happened. The difference is that in the original work, it was completely a chance encounter, and it was Thorin who took the initiative to find Gandalf.

However, in the movie, Allen speculated that Gandalf should wait for Thorin at the Prancing Pony Inn and then encourage Thorin to complete this feat. Allen had already confirmed this at the White Road Conference last fall.

Sure enough, Gandalf couldn't help but think about it. Just a few days after the New Year, Gandalf came to Wilderness Town.

He looked dusty and tired. He must have not had a good rest for a long time.

Faced with such a tired Gandalf, Alan entertained him warmly.

Even Gandalf, who did not have too high requirements for his appetite, still praised the wine produced in Pendor.

He even jokingly said that he hoped Allen would be more prepared during the subsequent journey.

Faced with this little request from his friend, Allen had no reason not to agree.

Later, while chatting with Gandalf, Allen learned about his busy schedule in the past few months.

It turns out that after the meeting, Gandalf traveled around Middle-earth non-stop. He not only went to Eriador to find the temporary leader of the Dúnedain Rangers at this time, and discussed the matter of attacking Dol Guldur together.

Afterwards, Gandalf was still alone and came to the wilderness again. He went to investigate near the old castle and saw the pale orc Azog in Allen's mouth.

This old man worked tirelessly across the land of Middle-earth, which was really hard work.

While the two were chatting, Gandalf was also preparing to briefly describe his plan to Alan.

"We must set off in the next few days. I got news from a trusted friend that Thorin Oakenshield, son of Thrain, is haunting the Dark Land."

Speaking of this, Gandalf remembered that he had planned to take Alan there, and smiled on his face.

He continued: "Obviously it's not just me who got the news about Thrain's presence in the Dark Land, Thorin is also there searching for traces of his father, but I think there is a high probability that he will return without success."

Of course Alan knew that Thorin Oakenshield would return in vain, because Thrain II was still suffering in the dungeon of Dol Guldur.

But one thing that Allen had to admire was that Thrane II was actually close to three hundred years old at this time.

Even the dwarves of the Durin royal family may live longer than ordinary dwarves. This is also a quite remarkable desire to survive.

If this plan to attack Dol Guldur goes smoothly, Thrain II should be able to tell Thorin Oakenshield himself what he wants to say to his son.

"After Thorin completes his exploration in the Dark Land, he must return to his territory in the Blue Mountains. We should seize the time to set off. We can wait for him in Bree in the Shire."

Having said this, Gandalf thought for a moment and continued:

"Well, if he wants to take a good road, that's where he must go. Otherwise, we have to go to the Blue Mountains to find him. However, Alan, before that, I have some things to do.

I charge you."

Allen was a little strange. He looked at Gandalf's slightly serious face and motioned for Gandalf to continue speaking.

"I don't think we can tell Thorin Oakenshield all our plans, especially when there are elves involved. If Thorin knows that we are working with the elves and using him and their family's Lonely Mountain as bait, then

From what I know about this dwarf prince, the probability that he will agree to this expedition is very small."

Gandalf continued to add: "Alan, what I want to say is that we are not cheating. We help the dwarves regain their homeland. This is a noble thing. We just need to complete this part of the work. The rest

Things will happen naturally. Although they are related to each other, this does not affect the result."

Gandalf had some doubts. He was worried that Alan would feel that this was a kind of deception and use of Thorin Oakenshield, and he would be worried.

It was obvious that he was overthinking, and Allen strongly agreed with this view.

"I agree with this, Gandalf. I also think there is no need to tell Thorin Oakenshield everything. In fact, we don't know whether we will succeed. We should wait until we succeed. What do you think?

.”

When Gandalf heard that Allen agreed with his proposal, he smiled and said: "It's unknown whether the thing will be successful, but it's already a good start, isn't it?"

After hearing this, Allen laughed and said: "That will only happen if Thorin Oakenshield agrees, but I think he has no reason to refuse."

Two people, an old man and a young man, laughed in Allen's banquet hall.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After laughing, the two began to discuss the details of the departure.

Allen suggested that Gandalf should recuperate here for a few days, because the road ahead was not easy.

At the same time, Allen also needs some time to arrange things in the village,

Gandalf agreed. He had indeed not had much rest in the past few months.

He also wanted to take advantage of these few days to get to know Allen's village.

A few days later, Allen finally arranged everything in Wilderness Town and Muma Village, and was ready to set off.

In the past, he would go out for a month, or at most two months. This time, he knew that he would not be able to come back in less than half a year.

Allen is not worried about what big changes will happen here when he comes back, but he is a little worried about the safety of the village.

In fact, for the past four or five years, Allen has been wondering why Azog didn't send anyone to attack his village, and then why the Orc King didn't seek revenge on him again.

However, our half-orc artist, Mr. Big Fatty, did not want to provoke Allen after his first revenge failure. This guy's ability to survive from the first era to the present is not just based on his musical attainments.

In particular, several skin-changers appeared near Wilderness Town. With such power, not only the Orc King, but also Azog also gave up on avenging Bolger.

Allen's strength has increased too fast, and the two of them don't want to crack this hard nut.

At the same time, Azog himself is also very busy, not only having to complete his master's instructions, but also doing his own things.

Azog is currently squatting in the Black Land with Thorin. As for Oakenshield, he was the one who let out the news about Thrain II.

How could this pale orc forget the revenge of Broken Arm? Not only did he spread false news, he also issued a high bounty for the head of Thorin Oakenshield.

This matter is unknown to everyone in the dark corners. Many humans who have taken refuge in the dark power are searching for Thorin Oakenshield.

But these have nothing to do with Allen sitting on the big eagle.

During these four or five years, Allen has been maintaining his relationship with the eagle. One of the few strict laws Allen has is that he is not allowed to shoot the eagle in the sky with bows and arrows.

Violators will have all their property confiscated and then be expelled from Allen's sphere of influence.

And every time the eagles bring new news, Allen will ask his subordinates to prepare corresponding gifts to entertain these eagles.

Especially last time, after Allen got the diamond, he asked dwarf craftsmen to help create a gold crown and a sterling silver necklace.

The two gifts were inlaid with more than a bag of diamonds. Allen gave the necklace to Thranduil. Allen believed that elves who like starlight should be more suitable for silver.

The crown was specially made by Allen for the Eagle King. As a gift, he entrusted other eagles to bring it to the Eagle King.

Allen didn't know why the creatures in Middle-earth liked gems so much. It might be that Allen's gems came too easily, so he couldn't understand this feeling.

The Eagle's help was not summoned by Allen. The connection between the Eagle and Allen has always been one-way. Allen had no way to contact them, but the gray robe wizard did, and Gandalf called them over.

Although it was spring at this time, the temperature in the valley had begun to warm, but the wind and snow above the Misty Mountains had not stopped.

Alan and Gandalf relied on their own two legs to cross the sphere of influence of Orc Town and cross the old pass. This was not a good choice.

The only easy way to go at this time is to cross the Isen River Ferry on the Isengard side, embark on the North-South Highway, and then go to Bree.

But this would take too long, and neither of them was willing to make this choice.

So Gandalf used his magic to summon two eagles, but what Gandalf didn't know was that Alan also had a good relationship with the eagles.

So the eagles sent them a long way this time. They rode the eagles directly at Carl's Rock. After resting in the eagle's nest for a day, the eagles sent them to the vicinity of the valley again.

The two of them did not go to Rivendell to bother Lord Elrond, but directly crossed the last bridge, stepped onto the East-West Avenue, and walked towards Bree.
