"Mighty Dragon Knight, the woodland elves are forever grateful for your generous act of kindness." Thranduil bowed slightly and extended the noblest etiquette of the elves to He Xie.
Behind him, Legolas with a sad look on his face did the same thing.
Although they were still brooding over He Xie's killing of Saruman, the enemy was in front of them, and their lives were saved by He Xie twice. No matter what kind of differences and contradictions they had, they could all let go.
What's more, now they no longer have to doubt He Xie's position.
He Xie looked at them and found that the female elf was missing, and knew that something bad was going to happen.
He looked at Thranduil and asked: "Master of Mirkwood, king of the Woodland Kingdom, why haven't your troops come to help until now? Have they abandoned their king?"
Thranduil was slightly silent. In fact, he guessed some truth.
There is only one reason why Galadriel can sit back and watch him in danger and his men stand still.
"This attack by the orcs was very sudden," Thranduil said slowly. "We don't know yet whether they only attacked one place on the Lonely Mountain. Maybe at this moment, my kingdom is also suffering from the attacks of the orcs.
Sneak attack."
He Xie had never thought of this possibility. After all, Asog had never appeared, but he had a vague feeling that things might not be that simple. What's more...
Although Thranduil concealed it well, he still noticed the ambiguity in his words.
"Ouch!"
Smaug's cry was heard in the distance again. He was chasing down the orc army that was attacking Lake Town for the second time, and Bard was watching nervously over there.
"Sauron won't give up if he doesn't get what he wants." He Xie stared into Thranduil's eyes, "He won't just let it go. How do you plan to face the invasion of darkness?"
Thranduil opened his mouth, but before he spoke, Legolas on the side took a step forward and said loudly: "Of course we will fight to the end!"
His face was full of grief, anger and determination. It was obvious that Tao Lieer's death filled the young elf's heart with hatred.
"Dragon Knight He, I apologize to you for my previous behavior!" Legolas looked at He Xie, "What you did proved your position and compassion. Darkness is our common enemy, and I hope to get you
With tolerance, we fight side by side to kill these dirty and evil creatures of darkness!”
Thranduil's eyes flashed slightly and he said: "Dragon Knight, the enemy has temporarily retreated. Before they come back, I will rush back to the Green Forest immediately. The northern continent should not be a place where orcs are raging. Our goal is
Consistent.”
No commitment, no statement, just vague words.
Although He Xie still doesn't know why Queen Galadriel wanted to support him but gave up in the end, Thranduil's attitude has made him extremely wary.
He looked at the other party deeply and said slowly: "I hope so."
"I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you again." Thranduil bowed slightly.
He Xie nodded and turned around with his hands behind his back. His face was expressionless. The excitement and passion brought by victory and fighting in his heart had gradually cooled down and turned into a ball of ice.
At the edge of Mirkwood, the elves who were so excited about Thranduil's rescue received a second surprise.
King Elrond arrives with reinforcements from Rivendell.
Rows of brightly armored elf warriors stationed on the newly built defense line, replacing the tired elves in the Mirk Forest. All the elves cheered, and they sang beautiful and melodious songs, with a heartfelt smile on everyone's face.
.
"Queen, fortunately, I'm not too late." King Elrond walked up to Galadriel and bowed slightly, but his expression was different from other elves, very solemn.
"I brought some bad news," he looked at Galadriel. "The orc army from Dol Guldur crossed the Wasteland of Eton and went to Moria."
"Moria?" Galadriel frowned, then her expression changed drastically, thinking of a possibility, she looked at King Elrond in disbelief.
King Elrond nodded slowly to her, with a heavy expression on his face: "As you may think, they are going for the sleeping Balrog."
It took Galadriel a long time to digest the shocking news.
"You just said some bad news?" She looked at King Elrond.
"Yes, Queen." King Elrond said, "Mordor's Doomsday Legion has been dispatched. Sauron's most loyal servant, Gothmog, has personally stepped into the battle. He has captured the leaderless Isengard, and the Dunlanders have also surrendered.
Their army is marching towards Luohan, and the war will break out by tomorrow afternoon at the latest."
Galadriel was moved again and said after a long time: "This is really... regrettable and despairing news..."
"I regret to tell you, my queen, the bad news is not over yet." King Elrond sighed, "The Haradrim mammoth legion is moving north, and the Umbar pirates have also hindered Gondor.
The only pass with Lohan. To make matters worse, the dark creatures in the Eton Wasteland are harassing Rivendell endlessly, so I only brought 20,000 warriors this time."
"My Queen, Sauron has launched a full-scale war! Before I left Rivendell, I received news from Gandalf. The situation has deteriorated, and the human kingdom is completely unprepared. He has to preside over the war in the south."
"Won't Gandalf come too?" Galadriel murmured.
"Gandalf has one more thing for me to convey to you, Queen." King Elrond bowed slightly and continued, "He said that he hopes you can agree to let Lothlorien's elven army rush to the south to assist humans.
Because that is the main battlefield in Middle-earth, and it is related to the hope of all the righteous people. He hopes that you will also rush back to Lothlorien as soon as possible to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of it."
"Then the north..." Galadriel subconsciously looked in the direction of the Lonely Mountain.
"I will defend the north with Thranduil." King Elrond said with emotion, "Gandalf believes that the dragon knight is completely trustworthy. With his help, and the dwarves of the Iron Hills will also come to support, the war in the north will not be too serious.
He was too nervous, but it turns out that he was right and he was as wise as ever."
Isengard had been ruled by the white-robed wizard Saruman before this, but the army from Mordor occupied the forest without a single soldier. The defection of the Dunlanders seemed to have been premeditated.
It is enough to show that Saruman has already had a problem.
In this way, the biggest conflict between He Xie and the Law of Justice naturally disappears. The only thing that makes King Elrond grudge and have trouble sleeping and eating is the Supreme Lord of the Rings, so his mood at the moment is very complicated.
