"Sir, my relatives told me that there are several Dongyi tribes stationed in the east of Hongshui River. Something like this has not happened for hundreds of years. They asked me to remind you to pay attention to this."
Allen was a little surprised when he received the news, and then he immediately asked an extremely critical question.
"Frey, have your compatriots ever mentioned how many people there are in the Dongyi tribe?"
Frey shook his head and said: "They can't be sure, because when they passed there, there was still a steady stream of Dongyi people's convoys coming from the east to join those camps. The number of Dongyi people at that time was already
Close to ten thousand people.”
What!
Nearly ten thousand Dongyi people?
Even Allen, who had made some preparations, was caught off guard by Sauron's generosity. In his memory, only during the Lord of the Rings Jihad decades later would a large number of Dongyi people follow.
Rune sets out to invade Varonian.
In the intervening decades, there were almost no records related to the Dongyi invasion of Rovanion, and there were no large-scale conflicts worth recording in the two regions.
The arrival of the Dongyi people forced Allen to consider whether it was because of the series of human actions in the Battle of Gushan that successfully attracted Sauron's attention, making him more vigilant about a human town that he originally didn't care about.
In other words, Sauron could not accept his complete failure on the Lonely Mountain, so he became angry and launched this attack.
If this is the case, Allen feels that his name may have been remembered by Sauron. With Allen's current strength, being remembered by a dark lord with powerful power is definitely an extremely important thing.
Bad things.
At this time, Allen was still very weak compared to other human forces and could not withstand Sauron's slight blow.
Moreover, in Allen's impression, Sauron is a commander with a long-term strategic vision and an extremely keen sense of smell. The most important thing is that this guy's mobility is simply top-notch. He does whatever he thinks of, and what he does will always give him rewards.
Bring certain benefits.
For example, after being captured by the Númenóreans in the Second Age, Sauron was not depressed. Instead, he quickly seized on Al-Pharazon's weakness, exploited the king's pride and desire for immortality, and successfully bewitched him.
, he became the national advisor of the Númenóreans in just three years.
If this is the case, it is not enough to show how powerful Sauron is. In the following years, Sauron, who has a strong personality and charm, only spent more than forty years to change the beliefs of most of the Númenóreans.
, and at the same time successfully persuaded Al-Pharazon to hate Valar and let him build an invincible fleet to attack Valinor.
As one can imagine, Al-Pharazon's invincible fleet was directly destroyed by the Valar, and all the Númenóreans who boarded Valinor were also pressed under the mountains, waiting for the final judgment.
It only took less than fifty years for the Dark Lord to eradicate his enemies that he could never resist. Although Sauron himself also lost his body in that operation, Middle-earth has since
, it will be difficult for someone to fight against him by himself.
Not only this one thing, the Ring of Power incident led by Sauron ran through the Second and Third Era, causing the three races of humans, elves, and dwarves to suffer a certain blow, and these rings brought Sauron
Here comes extremely excellent minions, the nine Nazgûl.
In particular, the Witch-King of Angmar, the leader of the Nazgûl, followed Sauron's orders during the Third Age, established the Kingdom of Angmar in Eriador, and destroyed the Kingdom of Arnor established by the Númenóreans.
It dealt a heavy blow to human power.
Although the Kingdom of Angmar was destroyed by the joint efforts of humans and elves, the remaining forces are still active in the Angmar Mountains, including the trolls entrenched in the Etten Wasteland. They will come out from time to time.
own lair and attack the civilians living in Eriador.
At the same time, Sauron also ordered his remaining servants to accumulate great strength in Mordor, and established an alliance with the Dongyi and Harad people, severely restricting the development of Gondor for thousands of years.
Sauron himself established Dol Guldur at the southern end of the Dark Forest a long time ago and hid here. Not only did he successfully attack the Woodland Kingdom, but he was also able to monitor the elves of Lothlórien and his actions in Middle-earth.
The most powerful opponent is Lady Galadriel.
The above events all prove Sauron's excellence. If you put aside his identity, what this Maia did is not an extremely inspiring story. Unfortunately, he is the dark lord who threatens many races.
.
That is to say, last year, the Battle of the Lonely Mountain led by Sauron failed miserably. In the original trajectory, even if Sauron also failed, this battle also dealt a heavy blow to the elves of the Woodland Kingdom and the dwarves of the Durin clan.
, the Durin clan paid the price of severing the bloodline of a king.
Now with Allen's participation, although the dwarves and elves have also lost part of their clansmen, compared to Sauron's loss of control of the entire north, the losses of their two clans are not particularly great, at least.
It didn't break any muscles or bones.
King Thrandu Yin of the Woodland got back the family gem he had longed for, and at the same time gained one-thirtieth of the wealth of Gushan. It can be said that he did not lose money.
The Durin dwarves regained their royal city and found their homes for the wandering tribesmen. They made huge profits and were the biggest winners in this battle.
Allen also gained most of the things he wanted in this battle, including fame, wealth, and deeper friendship with his allies.
It can be said that the three races of humans, elves, and dwarves have achieved a win-win feat through Sauron's failure this time.
This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Of course Sauron would not swallow the bitter pill of failure so obediently, but Allen did not expect that the dark lord would react so quickly.
It far exceeded his expectations, considering that Rovanian had just settled down for less than half a year.
Now, nearly ten thousand Dongyi people are stationed on the east side of the Red Water River. This pressure is completely put on the dwarves of the Lonely Mountain, the elves of the Black Forest, and the humans living in the eastern part of Rovanian. The threat of war has been eliminated.
In front of three races.
Especially for humans, Allen could predict that the northern humans living in the eastern part of Rovanian would never have an easy life in the future.
The arrival of these Dongyi people also interrupted Allen's idea of developing with peace of mind. In the past, his idea for eastern Rovanian was to use his influence to slowly attract people living there over the past few decades.
The humans around him asked them to join him for a better life, and finally completed control of the entire Rovanian.
But now, the enemy has been stationed at home, and war will break out at any time, and the nearly 10,000 Dongyi people have also brought great pressure to Allen. You must know that these dark humans from Rune are extremely barbaric and cruel.
Good at fighting, even young women and elderly people have good fighting power.
Allen will never underestimate them. At this moment, he is eager to reach an agreement with the elves and dwarves to do his best to deal with this enemy that suddenly appears in front of them.
But before that, Allen still needed to complete one thing. He dismounted, took two packhorses carrying mead from the people behind him, and handed them over to the dwarf Frey.
"Frey, I need to trouble you with something. Please give the two packhorses and the mead on the horses to your compatriots as a way for me to provide them with information."
Allen must be grateful to these dwarves from the Far East for providing him with such important information, allowing him to make certain preparations in advance to guard against possible surprise attacks by the Dongyi people.
After hearing Allen's words, Frey said nothing, nodded, and led the packhorse towards his compatriots.
Allen waved his hand, called Kress over, and said to the little girl with an extremely solemn expression: "Kress, I need you and Grim to lead half of the cavalry along the rushing river.
Next, rush to Alleyn and get him ready for battle. At the same time, you also need to send someone to notify Fatis so that he can be ready to recruit all the soldiers."
According to Allen's understanding of these Dongyi people, if they really want to launch a surprise attack on Wilderness Town, the dense forest road must be their top priority. They are good at driving chariots and need the smooth roads there to complete it.
march.
Allen has just about to open up there recently, which has to be said to be an extremely ironic thing. According to the existing conditions, the best place to resist the Dongyi people is the location where Allen is stationed.
.
It's just a pity that the defensive stronghold built by Tyr has just begun construction. Allen cannot force the Durin dwarf to give up participating in his king's coronation ceremony and go back to build the stronghold immediately. Such a thing is too chilling for his subordinates.
Already.
Allen decided that when he went back this time, he would take Artiman back and let him take charge of the defense construction work there.
After receiving the order, Kress looked at Allen's serious face and knew that this matter was extremely important. She quickly and briefly repeated Allen's order in front of Allen.
"Boss, let Alleyn prepare for battle and let Fatis prepare to recruit all the soldiers, is that right?"
"Um."
Allen nodded in agreement.
Then Kress shouted to Grimm loudly: "Big man, let's go, we have a new job."
The two people who came together quickly gathered half of the knights, took the corresponding supplies, and rushed towards the dense forest road.
Jamila, who watched Kress leave, said softly beside Allen: "Sir Allen, I will go back immediately. If all soldiers are to be recruited, many tasks in Wilderness Town will need to be adjusted. Just rely on
Bandak and James may not be able to handle this matter."
As soon as Jamila finished speaking, Allen fell into thinking. Indeed, in order to deal with the situation at hand, the sooner Jamila went back, the better. If it weren't for the lonely mountain, Allen had to find it.
Thorin talked about forming an alliance, and he himself was ready to turn around and leave.
And just now, in order to ensure the safety of Kress and Grim, so that they can successfully reach the camp where Aileen is stationed, Allen has divided half of the cavalry. If Jamila wants to go back at this time, then Aileen will
Lun must once again divide some of the remaining fifty cavalry and let them protect Jamila as she returns to Wilderness Town.
This is actually a bit dangerous. Although the Dongyi people are better at driving chariots, they also have a small number of cavalry. No one knows whether a small group of enemies has penetrated into the west of the Black Forest at this time.
Not to mention that there are still a lot of wargs entrenched in the Misty Mountains at this time. God knows if Sauron has let these wargs cooperate with the Dongyi people in fighting.
It is too dangerous for Jamila to go back alone now, and Allen cannot let his Hand of the King bear such risks.
Allen, who had already turned on his horse, shook his head and said: "No, we can't stay in Gushan for too long. We will set off back to Wilderness Town tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the latest."
After hearing this, Jamila nodded obediently and said nothing more.
Gandalf, who was listening to everything on the side, his originally relaxed and comfortable expression became serious. This gray-robed wizard has always been resistant to the East and has never traveled there.
But Gandalf was no stranger to the Dongyi people. He had heard about the wars that took place between the Dongyi people, the Northern Kingdom and the Kingdom of Gondor.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Gandalf rode up to Allen and said solemnly: "Alan, I believe there must be a powerful enemy behind this matter. You
You need to plan ahead.”
Allen, who was bowing his head in thought, was awakened by Gandalf's words. He was thinking about whether Sauron would make other moves to cooperate with the Dongyi people's attack.
After all, Allen was facing the insidious and cunning Sauron at this time, which made him full of vigilance. According to the strategic level of the Dark Lord, it was impossible for him to launch such a simple attack.
The key problem is that this war has deviated from its original trajectory. Allen is not familiar with it. The feeling of fog in front of him makes him a little uncomfortable.
It’s just that Allen quickly calmed down. The leader of tens of thousands of people is not in vain. After these years of hard work, Allen’s character has become much stronger, and in Rovanian, Allen can pry
The power of movement is not small. Can the elves of the Woodland Kingdom and the dwarves of the Gushan Kingdom still watch the Wilderness Town being destroyed by the Dongyi people?
With the help of these allies, Allen may not be at a disadvantage in this duel with the Dongyi people.
In this short period of time, Allen figured out everything. What if Sauron comes? Just fight. Worry and fear will not help at all. Only resourcefulness and courage are the only ways to defeat the enemy.
Looking at Gandalf with a worried face, Alan, who had regained his mood, smiled and said: "Yes, Gandalf, I believe that the dark shadow entrenched in Mordor played a less honorable role behind this incident, but
, we don’t need to worry too much about this. Facing the arrival of tigers and wolves, we naturally have sharp swords. However, I have one thing that I need your help with, Gandalf.”
"Oh? What's going on?"
Seeing Alan return to normal in a short period of time in the face of crisis, Gandalf was very pleased. He was indeed the human leader he admired.
"That's it. After participating in Thorin's coronation ceremony, I hope you can go to Lothlórien for me and issue a warning to Lady Galadriel. I think the enemy may send him evil under such circumstances.
's minions have once again entered Dol Guldur."
Gandalf raised his eyebrows and looked at Alan with a little surprise, because he also thought of this in a short time, and was already mentally prepared to go to Lothlórien, and Gandalf had other plans.
.
"Don't worry, Allen, I will do it. Not only that, after going to Lothlórien, I will continue to go south to Rohan and Gondor for help. His Majesty Fengel, the king of Rohan, and Gondor's
Lord Turgon, the ruling prime minister, has a good relationship with me. I just need you to arrange some people to send Bilbo back to the Shire."
Bilbo Baggins, who was standing by, heard Gandalf mention him and said quickly: "Actually, I can stay and help."
Although Bilbo Baggins missed his Bag End very much at this time, he could bury this longing deeply in his heart in order to help his friends.
Gandalf quickly replied: "Bilbo, my dear hobbit friend, your journey ends here. What follows is too dangerous and you cannot participate."
Gandalf said these words out of consideration for Bilbo's safety. That small magic item could only help Bilbo escape into the underworld. However, in the eyes of Nazgûl, people who enter the underworld are far better than those in the real world.
people are clearer.
If Bilbo Baggins wanted to rely on that magic ring to do something in front of the Ringwraiths, it would be a fantasy. Gandalf would not just watch Bilbo Baggins die.
And Allen will not agree to Bilbo's help. The Nazgul's induction of the Supreme Lord of the Rings is too sensitive. If one mistake is not made, this battle will probably evolve into a decisive battle between darkness and light. This is not something Allen can accept.
the result of.
Thinking of this, Alan said to Bilbo with a smile: "Yes, Bilbo, you don't need to worry here. I think you should go home. Don't you worry after being out for so long?"
?I remember you told me that your cousin Sackville was very fond of Bag End."
Allen's words reminded Bilbo Baggins. The hobbit suddenly thought that he had not gone back for so long and might have been considered dead by his tribe. By then, the family property passed down to him by his father and mother...
..
Thinking of this, Bilbo Baggins' heart was suddenly filled with the desire to go home. He scratched his head and said sheepishly: "Then... in that case, let's not delay any more and hurry up and set off.
I do miss Bag End a little bit.”
Allen and Gandalf looked at each other and smiled, and the group set off again, walking towards the Lonely Mountain. However, their pace seemed much more hurried, and they finally arrived at River Valley City before sunset.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguoyuedu to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. Yeguoyuedu is available for Android and Apple.]
Due to the deep friendship between Thorin II and Alan, King Durin sent more dwarves to participate in Bard's work of repairing the city of Dale.
The construction period that originally took three to four years can now be completed in less than two years under Thorin's special care.
Therefore, a large part of the current River Valley City has been repaired in less than half a year. The houses, towers and bell towers that were once scattered throughout the city have gradually restored their original appearance with the joint efforts of humans and dwarves.
appearance.
After learning that Allen was about to arrive, Bard, who was busy at first, and Artiman, who had just obtained scholar status not long ago, put down their affairs and waited at the gate of River Valley City early, preparing to welcome them
The arrival of the Lord.
However, all they waited for was Jamila who arrived with the cavalry, while Allen took Gandalf, Bilbo Baggins and several dwarves and continued directly along the road to the Lonely Mountain.
In the hall, I found Thorin who was handling government affairs.
At this time, Thorin, who was sitting on the throne, was discussing matters regarding the enthronement ceremony with his dwarf subordinates. Almost all of these dwarves were familiar faces to Allen, including Dine, Balin, Dwalin, and Gloin.
And Oin holding a hearing aid.
A group of dwarves saw the arrival of Allen and others, stopped what they were discussing, smiled and nodded to Allen, or waved to say hello to Allen, and Thorin walked down from the throne,
He opened his arms towards Allen and the other three, and said happily as he walked:
"My friends, welcome to Gushan to participate in my enthronement ceremony."
