King Elrond loves and hates He Xie. He loves He Xie because of his existence. Even Gandalf is very relieved about the northern front despite the full invasion of Sauron's army.
What I hate is that this human being once allowed the power of the Ring of Air to return in vain, which greatly damaged Rivendell's reputation, and now even some evil creatures hiding in the dark crypts of Eton Wasteland dare to show up, and attack them.
Rivendell cast a malicious look and took action.
If there was even a chance, he would never want to cooperate with He Xie to fight the darkness together.
But soon, King Elrond no longer had to be so entangled, because Galadriel told him about receiving the oracle again.
This news brought King Elrond far more surprise than shock. Like Galadriel, he had no idea why the gods, who had never directly intervened in the disputes in the world of Middle-earth, would be so uncharacteristic of this time and directly pay attention to and decide on a
Human affairs, and this god is Manvi, the king of gods.
But unlike Galadriel, he quickly accepted this reality and breathed a long sigh of relief.
In any case, he no longer has to deal with this human being.
"So what I have to do is guard the borders of Mirkwood?" King Elrond asked, "What if He notices our intentions and simply runs away? Don't forget that he is a dragon knight, he will leave all enemies to
Us. Or maybe he simply surrenders to the darkness."
"Everything is under God's watch." Galadriel said calmly, "No matter what choice he makes, God will never abandon his people."
King Elrond asked again: "What about Thranduil?"
This time Galadriel was silent for a long time. Her eyes passed over the faces of the elves in the dark forest one by one, and she said quietly: "Everything is under the watchful eye of God."
This seemed like an answer, but also seemed like a sarcasm.
The elves once fought against the gods, but failed in the end. They feared, respected, and secretly hated the gods.
King Elrond nodded thoughtfully, a hint of haze flashed in his eyes.
"Thranduil is retreating this way," Galadriel added. "I hope he can break out of the siege before the enemy comes back."
"I hope it's not too late..." King Elrond sighed.
The enemy came faster than anyone imagined. At dawn, the earth began to shake, and fire appeared in the south. A huge monster, covered in flames, was striding from the horizon.
The desolate horn sound sounded again, and the orcs began to gather again.
In the southwest direction, rows of mammoths as huge as hills were seen, each carrying a military camp full of soldiers on their backs, running towards the lonely mountain.
At this time, Galadriel had left Mirkwood and headed for Lothlorien. However, the soldiers starting from Mordor did not start a decisive battle with the human kingdom as Gandalf thought. They reunited with the Drandon people.
A long blockade was opened, completely cutting off the south and the north.
Gandalf miscalculated. Sauron's desire for the One Ring far exceeded his passion for world domination and power.
In other words, in Sauron's view, the Supreme Lord of the Rings was the key to everything he obtained, so he chose to use all his strength to deal with He Xie.
And all his troop division arrangements are actually to prevent the arrival of reinforcements.
He is determined to obtain the Supreme Lord of the Rings!
By the time Gandalf came to his senses and hurried over, Thranduil and Legolas had once again fallen into the siege of the orcs.
He Xie rode on Smaug's back, standing on a barren hill, watching from a distance as they were surrounded by dense orcs, fighting desperately.
His eyes were cold and deep, and the expression on his face was like a sculpture, without any change.
Originally, Thranduil and Legolas could return to Mirkwood safely, but when He Xie used some tricks to escort Bard and Bilbo Baggins back to Lake Town, they were surrounded by orcs.
Surrounded results.
His timing was very accurate, and he directed this great show just when the Haradrim mammoth legion and the orc army were advancing, and when Thranduil and his son were about to arrive in Mirkwood.
And his location is also very clever. If the elves of the Dark Forest choose to save their king, the barren hill where He Xie is located is the only way for them to pass.
So, what choice will the elf leader in charge there make?
Should we let it go? Send troops to rescue, or ask He Xie to take action?
As time passed by, the situation of Thranduil and his son became worse and worse. The fortifications built high in the dark forest were still quiet and motionless.
However, even though he was far away, He Xie could still see the figure standing on the highest point looking over here - King Ailong!
"Your Majesty, are we really going to die without saving anything?" an elf asked excitedly, his face full of confusion and grief, "What if we sit back and watch the fact that the King of the Woodland was killed by an orc, and the people below know about it?
, they will definitely break with us!"
King Elrond clenched his fists quietly. He controlled his emotions and said slowly: "The enemy is coming soon. If we go to rescue, what will happen to the Woodland Kingdom? There are tens of thousands of elves here, who will protect them? No
If the defense line is broken, who will resist the Haradrim mammoth legion, and..."
King Elrond suddenly could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He pointed at the approaching flame giant and roared at his men: "And that monster!"
Doesn't he want to save him?
He wanted to save him so much!
But even Galadriel didn't dare to go against the will of the King of Gods, how could he dare to do this?
The third era is coming to an end, and the age of elves is about to end. Next, Middle-earth will be dominated by humans. This is the prophecy of the ancient gods, and it is also something that all the elven kings know very well.
Light and darkness must have a decisive battle, and this decisive battle may be just around the corner. After the decisive battle, whether the Supreme Lord of the Rings is destroyed or returns to the hands of Sauron, the future of the elves will definitely be bad.
If it's the former, Rivendell, Lothlorien, and Mirkwood will all become unsuitable for the elves to survive due to the loss of magic barriers. If it's the latter, the first thing Sauron will do when he unifies Middle-earth is to attack the elves.
Take back the three elven rings!
In any case, the elves will only die if they stay in Middle-earth! Where will the hundreds of thousands of elves go? This is the painful fact that the three elf kings must face!
The only way out for the elves is to take a boat to the west, go to the continent where the gods live, and accept the protection of the gods.
The question is, under such circumstances, how could the Elf Kings dare to violate the will of the King of Gods?
What is happening now has nothing to do with any grudges or even this war.
The current problem is the big issue of racial continuation!
Manwë rarely issued two oracles in succession. The first oracle said, "Let's see what he will do." The second oracle said, "Everything is under the watchful eye of the gods." Both of them were sent to the elves.
He made it clear that he didn’t want the elves to get involved in anything He Xie did—anything!
How could King Elrond not understand?
Perhaps in the eyes of the gods, everything in Middle-earth is just a game to them.
