[Hobbit+HP] The truth of elves

Chapter 140

Lucius was not the only one who sensed what Saruman meant.

Thranduy sneered a few times unceremoniously, and his face was full of sarcasm.

Elrond had a headache. He looked at the expressions of everyone present, and said to Saruman: "Sauron's return should not be doubted. If we let this situation go unchecked, we will lose the possibility of victory step by step. If None of us can agree on this, let alone men and dwarves."

"If we don't unite all the races, we will have no chance of winning." The dialogue did not make any substantial progress, and Elrond's anxiety grew because of this, "I tried to warn Gondor, but the humans didn't take it seriously. I told Mi Nastirith sent the message, but the regent didn't believe me. Although he sent a prince to receive me, his attitude was more like a perfunctory one."

"Although Rohan is very active, they are already short of manpower to defend their borders. Apart from strengthening the existing defenses, there is not much room for action."

"The attitudes of Erebor and River Valley City are also very negative." Gandalf continued, "More evidence is needed to convince them."

The situation seemed so clear that it was impossible not to be depressed.

Lucius quickly went through the map of the continent in his mind.

Humans, dwarves, and elves lived scatteredly, and the territories were connected, but the strength was weak.If you want to intercept a single enemy team, you can form an effective encirclement.But in the face of the illusory and unclear when and where the enemy will appear, it is impossible for these loose connections to build a strong line of defense.

Just based on the history that Lucius saw in the elf materials, after the Battle of the Last Alliance, although the darkness was at a disadvantage, there was no substantial change in the territory occupied by them and the light camp.In other words, after the victory in the war, the light camp did not effectively use its advantages to contain the darkness.This is related to the huge loss of the light camp in the war, but the factors of fighting independently are also important influencing factors that cannot be ignored.

Thranduil and the woodland kingdom led by his father have always been a major force outside the core control circle.

Although it is not a good strategy to fight each other, but only from the perspective of the woodland kingdom, it is better to defend your own territory than let your own vitality be consumed in such a loose alliance.

Therefore, Thranduil's reluctance to participate in the Holy White Council became understandable.Because this is of no practical use.Choosing to persevere by himself is a wise decision for Thranduil, but it is also a helpless move.

However, from this perspective, Lucius could easily guess why Elrond invited him.

Unlike Gandalf's possible defenses in his heart, Elrond should be more interested in Lucius' status as the lord of the Long Lake.

Woodland Kingdom, Dale City and Erebor, these three territories form the horns of each other.

From the inside, the three races have formed a delicate balance and a close relationship here.The geographical distance determines that they must be on the same front in the attack of the dark camp.

From the outside, the northwest corner of this triangle is the black area of ​​the entire Angmar Kingdom headed by Mount Gundaba.The due east is the territory of the Easterners corrupted by darkness.To the south is Dol Guldur, which is in the same forest as the Woodland Kingdom.Looking farther away, leaving aside the influence of Mordor, the vast desert in the southeast of the Romanian region is also equivalent to an open gate.

If these three forces can cooperate closely, they will be invincible enough without falling into the siege of a large force advantage, and they will firmly contain the enemy forces in at least three directions.

However, Thranduil, Thorin and Bard, the relationship between the three leaders of the forces is not close at all, and they are not even friendly.

But elves, dwarves, and humans are now condensed in one place under the common interest of rebuilding the Long Lake.

Sure enough, Elrond looked at Lucius after a short thought: "Long Lake Town has now gathered the power of elves, dwarves and humans, and it is in a very critical position..."

"Long Lake was burned to ruins by the flames of Smaug, and all humans have relocated to River Valley City. In the current state of Long Lake, once a war breaks out, it will only become an empty city." Thranduil tilted Elrond De glanced, "What do you expect a place like this to do?"

"Uh..." Elrond was stopped by Thranduil who suddenly spoke, and he turned his eyes to Lucius, "The reconstruction of the Long Lake can get the support of dwarves and humans, and Lucius must also have the support Their ability to communicate. If the northern front is deployed early, at least they can monitor the dynamics of Angmar and the east. Dol Guldur can be in charge of Roslorian, and Rivendell..."

"Lucius is not suitable to participate in the discussion of specific deployment." Galadriel who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke, interrupting Elrond's statement.

This change caused the elf lord to fall into confusion for a while.

Thranduy, on the other hand, reacted instantly, his face sank like water: "What do you want to say?"

The beautiful elf lady still kept her smile and looked at Lucius.

At first sight of Galadriel, the dangerous feeling like a sharp edge pressing on the back of the neck exploded from every corner of the body again.Although there is no such high-pressure force that crushes all movements, the feeling of threat is no weaker than what he once felt.

Obviously, the power against him at the mouth of the valley came from Galadriel.

Hearing this, Lucius' face changed from calm to indifferent.

Confronting Galadriel head-on in this line of sight confrontation, Lucius was not timid.

"Lucius has obvious traces of dark power. He is not suitable to participate in our discussion." After a pause, the elf lady responded to Thranduil in this way.

"Lucius just hasn't accepted the baptism ceremony, and the dark trace...is that he already has that ability." Elrond was suddenly changed from the topic but he couldn't ignore him directly, so he could only explain embarrassingly .

"However, this may also be the result of being corrupted by dark forces." Galadriel's tone was very gentle, but the sharpness of her words did not weaken at all.

"He's been with me all the time. Are you doubting me?" Thranduil asked coldly.

"I just suspect that you are being deceived, Thranduil."

Thranduy refused to give in to Lucius' protection, while Galadriel smiled brighter in silence.The eyes of the two sides were tit for tat.

The elf lady's eyes shone with strong confidence, and the light revealed a kind of lofty tolerance towards Thranduil.It's as if the Elven King was deluded by the treacherous darkness, and she just stood where the landmark was, calling the lost to find their reason.

It has to be said that this kind of proud tolerance really cannot but play a catalytic role in fueling the fire.

Such an anxious atmosphere undoubtedly pushed the embarrassment to the extreme. Elrond looked around and frowned even tighter: "We are here to discuss today..."

"At this time, aren't you going to prove yourself and win our trust? Lucius." Galadriel directly raised her voice and interrupted Elrond's words with the purpose of easing the relationship for the second time. Lucius, who has remained silent during the dispute.

Lord Rivendell, who didn't expect to see the topic drifting again and again, immediately looked at Lucius.He hoped that Lucius could understand his intentions and resolve this confrontation.However, Lucius just turned his head sideways, showing a wicked smile: "I'm neither a member of yours, nor do I intend to join you, why do I need to prove anything to you?"

The unexpected words made everyone's faces change at the same time.The difference was that Galadriel's smile became a little more dangerous, while Thranduy's mouth curled up.

Thranduil adopted a tacit and tolerant attitude towards Lucius' arrogant words, and Elrond was even more embarrassed.

"Actually, it's normal for Ms. Galadriel to be worried. Lucius, your situation is quite special, and there has never been an example in previous history. Or, can you tell us about your past experience? "

"Or, can you give me a reason that needs to be explained?" Lucius refused without hesitation, "I came here at your invitation, not at my own request. If you don't welcome me, why did you Why invite me? I haven't done anything that needs to be explained to anyone, and I don't owe you any."

"Trust is two-way. Isn't it necessary to show your sincerity if you want to cooperate?" Saruman clasped his hands and said quietly from the side.

"Trust is a two-way street." Lucius quickly replied in a loud voice, and when he changed the topic, when he looked at Saruman, his eyes became meaningful.

The white-robed wizard suddenly became vigilant, with a dangerous aura stabbing out of his body.

"You, how do you prove your innocence?" Lucius said playfully, "Saruman, Your Excellency."

The author has something to say: Yuanyuan has indeed taken into account the addition of updates during the Spring Festival, but in order to avoid breaking her word, Yuanyuan cannot make a promise now.I can only say that I will do my best.
