Seven hundred and fortieth chapters Thranduil's decision
Everything that happens in the dark forest is under the magical surveillance of the woodland elves. The strange movements of the spiders immediately attracted their attention.
When the elves patrolling the woodland reported the situation to Thranduil, the Lord of the Woodland Kingdom, he was discussing with his son Legolas how to deal with the thirteen dwarf expedition.
Not long ago, the dwarf expedition team was lost in the depths of the dark forest and was besieged by a dense swarm of spiders, which captured them in the spider webs.
Because Bilbo Baggins did not obtain the Supreme Lord of the Rings as in the original plot, the dwarf expedition was completely destroyed. When they were about to become a meal for the spiders, the Elf Guard Captain Tauriel and Prince Legolas of the Woodland Kingdom were ordered to
Destroyed the spider nest, happened to pass there, and rescued them.
Thranduil learned that Thorin Oakenshield was going to the Lonely Mountain, and immediately guessed his purpose, and asked Thorin Oakenshield to return the white gem that the dwarves had stolen from the elves, but Thorin Oakenshield refused to return it.
So Thorin Oakenshield decided to lock them all up. And now, Legolas is asking for instructions on how to deal with the noisy dwarves in the cell.
The news was heard before any charter was discussed.
"I told you two months ago to completely eradicate the spider nests," Thranduil frowned and looked at his son, "Why are these ugly and evil creatures still entrenched in our home?"
"We have swept the forest many times, but more spiders keep pouring in from the south of the forest." Legolas explained, "We now know that they are multiplying in the ruins of Dol Guldur in the south. If we can eradicate them,
…”
"Dol Guldur is outside our borders," Thranduil interrupted, "and your duty is to clear the territory of spiders."
Legolas opened his mouth and finally gave up his objection.
"Father, the spider is moving. Apparently someone broke into the forest," he said. "Are you going to rescue him?"
"We cannot let anyone be harmed by evil in our own country. No one has this right except us." Thranduil said calmly, "But if you want to bring him back, this person must be related to the dwarf expedition."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a voice coming from afar: "I'm afraid this matter needs to be treated with caution. Dear Lord of the Green Forest, King of the Woodland, my friend Thranduil!"
Thranduil was startled, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Saruman!"
He and Legolas looked at each other and followed the sound together.
After a while, the beautiful female elf Tao Lieer appeared at the gate with Saruman.
After the two parties greeted each other, Thranduil said: "Saruman the Wise, your eyes tell me that you have brought very bad news."
"Indeed, my friend." Saruman said solemnly, "The Supreme Lord of the Rings has appeared!"
This sentence immediately moved both father and son.
"It fell into the hands of an evil, ugly, despicable human being. This is a nameless person, but he possesses the evil and powerful dark power that can resist the Ring of Air Via." Saruman said slowly.
, "I very much suspect that he is the incarnation of Sauron. If he is allowed to leave, it will bring terrible disasters to the world. And now, this man appears in the Green Forest."
The father and son digested the shocking news in silence. Legolas thought of something and asked in surprise: "Lord Saruman, is this human being the one who attracted those ugly spiders?"
"Indeed." Saruman nodded, "And the Supreme Ring is on his body."
"Where is he going with the Ring?" Legolas continued, "Why did he come to the Woodland?"
"It's not clear what evil purpose he has," Saruman shook his head, "but I think he must have bad intentions. Thranduil, we must catch him and take back the Supreme Ring, otherwise evil will return, and darkness will come back.
Will cover everything."
Thranduil still looked thoughtful and said nothing.
Legolas asked again: "Would he be detrimental to the Woodland Kingdom?"
Saruman smiled.
"Why not?" he said, "Your Highness Legolas, human beings are inherently ignorant and cunning, so all nine kings were enslaved by Sauron because they longed for corruption. And the Supreme Lord of the Rings
It should have been destroyed in Mount Doom a long time ago, but because of the greed of that stupid guy Isildur, it caused the hidden danger today."
After a pause, he looked at Legolas and said word by word: "This ring bearer must have evil intentions. It will completely turn the green forest into a place of corruption and stench, and become a venue for the carnival of corrupt creatures. If
If we don’t want to see such a terrible scene happen, then killing him and taking back the Supreme Lord of the Rings is what we must do.”
Legolas looked solemn, nodded slowly, and turned to look at Thranduil: "Father, we must destroy that evil ring bearer and maintain the tranquility and peace of our woodland kingdom."
Thranduil looked at his son and said slowly: "This matter is indeed very important. So I have to go in person, and you, stay and guard our home."
"Father!" Legolas said urgently.
"You have to say, obey." Thranduil stared at him with majestic eyes, forcing Legolas to lower his head.
"Saruman, we're leaving now." Thranduil turned to Saruman and smiled.
"You have made a brave and wise decision, my friend." Saruman nodded with satisfaction.
At that moment, Thranduil immediately ordered Tao Lieer to order the army to assemble, and then accompanied Saruman and rushed to the area where He Xie was.
On the way, Thranduil deliberately fell behind and secretly ordered Tao Lieer to deliberately leave a gap in the military formation and let the ring bearer leave later.
Tao Lieer looked surprised, she didn't understand why at all.
But Thranduil didn't explain anything to him, he just said calmly: "This is an order."
But what he didn't know was that his son Legolas secretly followed him out.
The young elf prince was full of passion and was completely moved by Saruman's righteous words. He felt that he should contribute to the safety of the entire Middle-earth continent instead of hiding aside and watching.
As they were approaching He Xie's location, spider corpses began to appear along the way, and there were more and more spider corpses as they walked forward. In the end, the elves even had to move away the piles of spider corpses on the forest path before they could continue to move forward.
Tao Lieer looked at the fatal wounds on the spider's body, fear and worry flashed in his eyes: "This evil human has very powerful sword skills. Look at these spiders, they are all killed by one sword. There is absolutely no second sword on them."
The wound. It’s hard to imagine that this was done by one person.”
