After the meeting held by Thorin, everyone left the Hall of Thrain.
Lord Elrond bid farewell to Allen at the gate of the Lonely Mountain Kingdom.
He wanted to rush back to Lothlorien with some of his soldiers, and Lord Elrond left the unfinished business of the Lonely Mountain to Lindir.
After watching Lord Elrond leave, Allen returned to Riverdale City. He still had some things to do in the Lonely Mountain and could not leave.
In the morning after the meeting, Allen assigned a task to Alleyn, who had recovered.
Let him take two hundred soldiers and seize the time to send the soldiers who died in this war back to Wilderness Town so that their families can see them for the last time.
Although their souls have received gifts from Yinluvita and traveled to other worlds.
However, according to the tradition of the forest residents, their bodies still have to return to the earth under the witness of their families.
Allen felt that he had to do this immediately.
This was something he had thought about last night. Although it was winter and corpses were not easy to rot, these soldiers who died fighting for him could not be allowed to lie so casually on the streets of River Valley City.
Before Allen left, Allen talked with him for a long time, mainly about sending messages to Jamila about compensation and pensions for nearly two hundred families.
According to the long-standing tradition of Wilderness Town, Allen must support the families of any soldiers who die on the battlefield.
At least until their children reach adulthood, Allen has the obligation to protect their lives.
In addition, Allen will compensate them with a fortune that is enough to live on for ten years. Now Allen can completely pay for it in gold.
And soon, gold will become the general equivalent in Wilderness Town. Allen needs to think about this carefully after returning, but he can't take care of these things now.
In addition, Allen also considered building a cemetery for these soldiers and named it the Cemetery of Heroes.
After thinking about it all night, Allen decided to locate the cemetery on the hillside east of Wilderness Town.
There is a very high hill there. Every day after the sun rises, it will shine there first.
And in the warm season, some white or yellow flowers will bloom on the surrounding mountains, making it a very beautiful place.
In the past, because of the inconvenience of traveling, the residents did not cultivate much land there, but now they can make full use of the hillside there.
In Allen's vision, all soldiers who died on the battlefield can be buried here as long as their families agree.
The best thing is to build a wall around the cemetery, and then arrange a few tomb guards to drive away some blind beasts or bad guys from disturbing these warriors.
There will definitely be another road built from Wilderness Town to the cemetery, and this road will be included in Desaiwe's patrol range, which will also make it easier for family members to mourn their family members.
No matter how many things you do after a person dies, it will be of no use. You can only hope to comfort the families of those soldiers who died in battle.
After arranging all this, Alleyn led two hundred soldiers, transported part of the wealth and nearly two hundred soldiers who died on the battlefield, and left River Valley City.
They will follow the running river all the way south until they enter the Long Lake, and then with the help of the woodland elves, they will return to Wilderness Town through the Black Forest.
Moreover, the orcs in Gundabad Mountain and Misty Mountains suffered such heavy losses in this battle.
In recent years, it should no longer be necessary to consider safety issues along the way.
After Allen said goodbye to Alleyn, he was going to find His Majesty Thrandu Yin, the king of the woodland elves.
Coincidentally, Gandalf and Bilbo Baggins were also looking for Alan at the same time.
The three people met at the gate of Riverdale City. It turned out that Gandalf and the others found Allen and were preparing to rush back to Wilderness Town with Allen, so that they could have someone to take care of them along the way.
In Allen's opinion, this was just an extremely simple request. Allen told the two of them that it might take him a few days to finish things here, and then everyone could leave together.
At the same time, Allen also invited the two of them to stay in Wilderness Town for a while, because it was winter and the Misty Mountains were extremely difficult to walk. Although there was no threat of orcs, the weather alone might bring harm to Bilbo.
There will be some damage.
As a friend, Allen certainly doesn't want to see this happen. In addition, after next spring, Allen is planning to personally lead troops to send the two back to Eriador.
Because Allen plans to open up the lower passage of the high pass at that time, it is best to establish a post there, or even a fort, to connect the trade between the two regions.
Even if there is no trade, it would be good to strengthen the friendship between the city-state of Rovanion and Rivendell, and exchange experiences on crafting, construction, and planting.
Therefore, it is inevitable for Allen to lead his troops on a trip. Then he will take the dwarf Tyr with him to observe the surrounding terrain and prepare for what will happen next.
Gandalf and Bilbo Baggins readily agreed to Allen's invitation. At the same time, the hobbit said that when he returned to Wilderness Town, he could show his cooking skills to Allen, and he was guaranteed to be better than the fat cook in the Green Dragon Tavern.
After Allen heard this, he smiled slightly. His mood, which was somewhat depressed due to the sacrifice of the soldiers, felt a little warm when he was getting along with his friends.
However, Allen quickly recovered his mood and said goodbye to the two of them. He also wanted to go to King Thranduin to discuss the alliance.
This is a very important thing, and now is a very good opportunity.
This time, after Sauron was brutally beaten by the elders of the White Council in Dol Guldur, he left Dol Guldur in disgrace and fled back to the east.
But Allen knew that Sauron would make a comeback in a few years, and at least three Nazgûl would continue to be entrenched in Dol Guldur.
Of course, now with Allen's intervention, the power sent by Sauron may be more powerful.
If nothing else happens, Allen's power will also become a thorn in Sauron's side and a thorn in his flesh.
If Allen wants to fight against this force in a few years, he may even start a fight with them.
Then an alliance with the woodland elves and Durin dwarves is inevitable. At least a defensive alliance is indispensable.
It's just that there is a little problem here, and we need to talk to Siran Duyin first.
While thinking, Allen came to Thrandu Yin's tent, and then the elf guard informed Allen that he could go in.
Thrandu Yin was a little surprised after seeing Allen, because the war just ended yesterday, and as the leader of the force, he should have a lot of things to deal with and think about.
In fact, the woodland elves also suffered very heavy losses in this war. On the one hand, when guarding the walls of River Valley City, the elven elves took great care of Allen's subordinates, which resulted in their heavy losses.
Otherwise, Allen's dead men may not be just the two hundred people.
On the other hand, when Thranduin and the Elf Sword and Shieldmen rushed out from Riverdale City to save the dwarves, they alone withstood the attack of Uruk soldiers. During that period, they also suffered heavy losses.
Although the woodland elves are not as good as the Durin dwarves, the death rate is as high as one-third.
However, their casualty rate was also very high, about a quarter, and many of them were injured. They were carried back by the Changhu Town militia and stabilized after simple treatment.
However, there are more than 300 Silvan elves who are determined to return to the Mandos Hall, and the mortality rate reaches more than one tenth.
These are all elves, and the death list also includes some of the elite warriors who have participated in the final alliance war for a long time.
At this time, Governor Thrand Yin was also deeply saddened by the deaths of these woodland elves. After all, he was also a king who cared deeply about the lives of his people.
Of course, if the original trajectory were followed, the number of Woodland Elf sacrifices would make the Woodland King so heartbroken that he would run away before the battle.
Instead of looking like now, with a trace of surprise in his eyes, but with a calm expression, he looked at Allen who came to visit him.
However, he was surprised, and Governor Serand Yin was still very happy after seeing Allen, and his tone was also very polite.
After all, the Woodland King, who was guarding Riverdale City and always paying attention to the battlefield, also saw the war weapons prepared by the Iron Hills dwarves.
Thrando Governor Yin briefly thought for a moment, if he really led troops to besiege the gate of Gushan and had a conflict with the dwarves, how much damage that huge crossbow arrow could cause to his people.
Then the elf king didn't want to think about it anymore, but he felt a little more grateful to Allen in his heart.
"Alan, welcome, please take a seat."
As he spoke, Governor Thrand poured a glass of wine for Allen, and then said: "My friend, speaking of which, I haven't formally thanked you for arranging personnel in time to save my people. Come and have a drink. After the war,
This glass of wine is even more precious.”
Allen, who was sitting opposite Thrandu Yin, was a little surprised by the king's politeness. He nodded and thanked Thrandu Yin and had a drink with him.
Allen put down his wine glass and didn't think much about it: "Your Majesty, you're welcome, this is what I should do. I also want to thank your brave soldiers for helping my men in this battle."
After finishing speaking, Allen picked up the wine glass and offered another toast to Thrandu Yin. The rich and fragrant aroma of the wine filled his throat.
Afterwards, Allen said: "Actually, I came here this time because I have something I want to discuss with you."
Allen directly expressed his thoughts on this trip.
"Actually, it's about the covenant."
When Allen came here, he certainly didn't want to talk about the alliance between the Rovanian city-state and the woodland elves.
Based on the relationship between Allen and Thrando Yin, this kind of alliance is basically not difficult.
What Allen wants is a three-way alliance between humans, elves and dwarves.
Thrandu Yin has been the king for thousands of years, and he understood Allen's thoughts in an instant.
The elf king knew that he would not refuse Allen's request for alliance, and he believed that Allen also knew this.
So, at this time, Allen can still make this request to himself in a negotiating tone, so it is conceivable that the dwarf must have a part in this contract.
Thinking of this, Thrandu Yin felt a little uncomfortable. The Elf King felt that Allen was too involved in the dwarves and would involve those dwarves in everything, even at the cost of irritating himself.
Thinking of this, Governor Thrand looked at Allen and said in a polite tone: "Between you and me, although we haven't stated it explicitly, the covenant has already existed, so why bother mentioning it?"
Allen didn't know Thrando Yin's thoughts, but he knew that it was not easy to make the elves and dwarves form an alliance.
It does not mean that if the two races fight the orcs together, they will be able to resolve their past grievances and shake hands to make peace.
It can only be said that after this battle, the relationship between the two parties has eased a little.
Allen also wanted to take advantage of this little enthusiasm and give it a try.
Allen shook the wine in his hand slightly, considered it and said: "Your Majesty, what I want to say is actually the tripartite covenant between humans, elves and dwarves."
Thrandu Yin raised the crystal cup, as if I had already guessed it, and motioned for Allen to continue.
After all, Allen had just helped Thrandu Yin get back the family's Starlight Gem. He couldn't refuse immediately, as this would harm the friendship between the two parties.
Allen continued after Thrandu Yin's signal.
"Your Majesty, you also know that this time, under our attack from many sides, the dark forces have retreated. We can also be stable for a period of time, but our enemies cannot give up. They will soon come back from the east. This is true for you and me.
We all know that in the face of such an enemy, I think we should unite all the forces that can be united and be prepared to fight the darkness, so I proposed the alliance."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After finishing speaking, Allen looked at Thrandu Yin, waiting for the elf king's reply.
Thrando Yin was a little confused at this time. He knew what Allen said. After all, he was also present when Gandalf told about the battle of Dol Guldur. Now that Sauron has made a public appearance, then the Black Forest
There won't be long days of peace.
Of course, the woodland king knew the many benefits of a three-party alliance, otherwise he would not have concluded an alliance with King Thror two hundred years ago.
However, King Thranduyin did not want to readily agree to Allen's request. His relationship with Thorin was not much better, and he could not be the one to take the initiative.
So after thinking for a while, he directly put the question back to Thorin.
"Alan, I know everything you said, and I'm also considering this issue. How about you go talk to the dwarves first? If they agree, then we will discuss it then."
Thrando Yin didn't have much hope that the dwarves would be able to agree to Allen's suggestion. After all, dwarves were notoriously stubborn and were not as easy to talk to as elves.
Allen felt that it was good to get this answer. After all, King Thranduyin did not refuse directly.
After getting the answer he wanted, Allen drank the wine in his glass and stood up to say goodbye to Thrandu Yin.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. Then I will take my leave first and wish you a safe journey."
Yes, the woodland elves are already preparing to leave here. If nothing else happens, they will leave this afternoon.
Thrandu Yin looked at the humans in front of him and gave his blessing.
"Wish you a safe journey too, Alan."
Allen nodded, turned and left Thrandu Yin's tent.
At this moment, Thranduin stopped Allen and took out a long sword. It was Orcrest, Thorin's beast-biting sword.
Allen looked at Thrandu Yin in surprise, wondering what the king was planning to do.
This sword was one of the trophies obtained by Lord Thrand when he imprisoned Thorin. Most of those things were ordinary things, but this sword looked priceless.
After Thrandu Yin got back the Starlight Gem, he felt that his grudges with the dwarves had almost been settled.
As for the sword that belonged to Thorin, Thrandu Yin felt that it was necessary to return it to the future King of Lonely Mountain.
He did not want to send his own people to do this, but at this time handed over the sword to Allen, who had a better relationship with Thorin, to complete the matter.
Allen took the Oakcrest, and there were complicated emotions in his heart. This emotion was mixed with three parts funny, three parts gratified and three parts thankful.
Whether it is the original book or the movie, the sword eventually returned to Thorin, but the ending was cruel without exception. It was buried in the lonely mountain with the dead Thorin.
At this time, it followed the current Thorin, and in the years to come, it could cut off the heads of countless orcs.
Allen readily agreed to the matter. He did have something to discuss with Thorin.
It is not a matter of forming an alliance. Although this matter is very important, it is not urgent. It is better to wait for a while, and there is plenty of time left for Allen.
Allen's main purpose of promoting a three-party alliance is not only to fight against Dol Guldur a few years later, but also for the War of the Lord of the Rings eighty years later.
In the north, Thranduin of the Black Forest and Lady Galadriel of Lothlorien faced the orcs of the Misty Mountains and the Nazgul of Dol Guldur. They indeed won a good battle and liberated
The black forest.
However, humans and dwarves suffered heavy losses. In the Battle of the River Valley, they directly sacrificed two kings in order to resist the Dongyi army.
Now, Allen is the strongest ruler in the north of Rovanian, so Allen needs to bear the greatest pressure during the Dongyi people's attack.
It lasted more than seventy years from 2941 to 3018 of the Third Era. It seemed like a long time, and could even go through the life of an ordinary human being. However, for Allen, it was still too short, because the power of light and darkness were different.
The disparity is really too great, and he needs to do everything possible to increase his strength.
At the very least, the woodland elves must be allowed to come out of the black forest to help humans and dwarves resist the invasion of the Dongyi people.
As for the orcs from the Misty Mountains who originally invaded the Black Forest, Allen will take care of it himself.
He had thought about blocking the Anduin River for a long time. I don't know anything else, but the infrastructure was imprinted in his bones.
As long as he can block the orcs in the Misty Mountains, the Silvan elves in the Black Forest will have enough troops to assist the humans and dwarves in northern Rovanion to resist the Dongyi attack.
In this way, the pressure on humans and dwarves in the northern battlefield will be less, and Allen can also mobilize more troops to rush to the aid of Lothlórien and defeat Kohamul who occupies Dol Guldur as soon as possible.
At that time, Allen also wants to mobilize troops to assist Rohan and Gondor, participate in the main battlefield, and have a head-on battle with the big-eyed Sauron. Allen does not want to become a name on the background board in future records.
.
For example, in a certain year, King Rovanian in the north led his army and successfully resisted the attack of the orcs in the Misty Mountains.
Allen thought that was too shabby.
After drinking the elixir, he felt that he would definitely be able to participate in this battle. If he couldn't, he would look for an opportunity to drink another bottle.
At that time, although Allen was nearly a hundred years old, his body was no different from that of a young man, and he could still lead his bodyguards to kill the enemy on the battlefield.
Of course, I'm just thinking about it now, after all, that day is still far away.
