Chapter 957

When Elrond came to roslorian, he discussed with galantrel, kellepeng and Gandalf about the specific strategy, and focused on reducing the loss of elves as much as possible in each fight. And how to ensure that the scale of the war will not be further expanded on the basis of effectively repelling the enemy.

They watched around a sheepskin map with the border of roslorian, and discussed with each other about the war plan and the possible weak points.

"The territory of roslorian is very large, but the population of roslorian is very small, although the power of Nanya makes it difficult for human beings to enter roslorian completely. However, compared with the vast territory, it is difficult for Nanya's strength to take into account the territory of the roslori security department. So... "Gandalf looked at galantrel and asked," I need to know exactly how many combat troops roslorian can have? "

After hearing this, galantrel hesitated for a while, then said gravely, "at present, our population can have about 1000 troops at most!" Then he said, "if we ignore the consequences, we can add another 500 troops at most!"

"What!!"

Gandalf couldn't believe his ears. He almost widened his eyes, and his gray beard trembled. "Elf, when did you begin to weaken to such a degree?" He said in a high voice, "how can a force of 1500 people defend such a huge territory completely? Even with the power of Nanya, the conflict with human beings, roslorian is also bound to shrink its territory. Otherwise, it is impossible to take care of such a vast territory! "

Gandalf's words made the three Elven lords silent for a while. Elrond broke the silence later. He said: "we elves lost too much population in the fierce battle of villino. So far, our population has not recovered much. This time I'm here, I can only deploy 500 troops. The rest of the troops are responsible for defending ravendale and monitoring Sauron. More than that, there's no way to guard ravendale! "

"What can two thousand men do?" Gandalf murmured, "what about humans? What do you know about human intelligence? How many troops can they deploy? " Gandalf said with some heaviness.

"It is conservatively estimated that mankind can send at least 20000 troops. And in the future, this number is likely to increase to nearly 30000 people! " Keller Peng's face was very ugly.

In fact, it's not just him, it's Gandalf, Elrond and galantrel. Their faces are extremely ugly. After all these years, the elves who moved back to Middle Earth from vilino have been recuperating for so long, and the population problem has never been solved. Their population is still very small compared with that of human beings. Almost at the same time, the dwarves and human beings who moved back to middle earth have recovered, and their increased population in recent years is far more than that of elves. Compared with them, elves are no doubt lonely.

"In the first era, under the leadership of ininville, we elves could easily gather more than 30000 troops! Now only a few thousand years have passed, and even if we are united, we can not gather 5000 troops. Elves, if it's really lonely, the battle of villino is too serious for elves. So much so that what we have to deal with now is just a group of dark human beings with little civilization to speak of, and we feel like a mountain of pressure. I can't imagine the consequences if I go to Sauron. " Galantrel said in a confused way, her eyes revealing the memory. It seems to be in memory of the first era, when the Elves were extremely prosperous and powerful.

In that glorious first era, humans and dwarves were nothing at all. Even if their population grows rapidly, they can't threaten the elves at all even if they are united. At that time, every elf kingdom could easily gather more than 5000 troops. Very few other countries, even enough to gather 10000 troops! It is a simple matter for the elves to unite and gather more than 30000 troops.

But now, the fierce battle in villino made it impossible for the elves to unite and gather more than 5000 troops. Even, they are far away from this goal. However, the dark humans who are in conflict with them can easily muster more than 20000 troops, even if they have low civilization and productivity. However, the most fearless thing of savage dark human is death. In fact, they are wary, savage and fearless of death. Even if it is not as powerful as the individual spirit, it will rush up, even the spirit will be defeated with hatred.

These were young races of elvish students in the first era. Their ability to recover is too fast. In a short period of time, they have recovered and their population is growing every year. They are too fast and growing fast. Up to now, before Soren's official appearance, a group of primitive and wild dark humans can give them elves and pose a serious threat.

Even though they are confident that they can win, they have no confidence to consume with human beings. It's all because of the terrible reproduction ability of human beings. Compared with elves, it's too frightening. In just 20 years, the number of human population can double. They mature very quickly and are not afraid of the war of attrition.

The elves, however, can't do it. Each one of them is precious and can't fight a long-term war of attrition. What's more, they still have to make sure that, on the premise of winning over mankind, how to control the scale of war to a minimum. To ensure that conflicts between the two sides will not lead to escalation. Thus, Rohan and Gondor intervened.

Compared with the dark human beings who have little civilization to speak of, Rohan and Gondor both have mature and advanced civilization achievements. Their weapons and armor, as well as their production capacity, far surpass these savage, primitive, almost uncivilized dark humans. In the same way, their war potential is far beyond them. Once Rohan and Gondor joined in, the elves they led had no reason to stay except to move to other places. Because they can't look after the vast territory compared with their own population.

At that time, where can they migrate? Or to the west of grey harbor, or to the east of the misty mountains, but then we need to face the threat of Sauron, which is more powerful than human beings. Although he hasn't appeared yet, no one dares to look down on him. Although Sauron did not show up, it only shows that he is still accumulating strength and cultivating his own army.

Once he feels that the time is ripe, then the Elves will face the direct threat of orcs who are more terrifying and powerful than human beings! At that time, the army of orcs, like locusts, came in. Depending on the current population size of the elves, they could not even turn over a spray and would be submerged.

Elves, I'm really weak. I'm weak as never before.

Not to mention compared with the first era in the distant time, even compared with eregian in the second era, the elves are not as good as that period at present. What's more, compared with the most glorious first era of the elves, at that time, a large number of excellent commanders and Elven kings poured out from the elves. Especially in that period, under the leadership of the strongest Elven king ininville, who could control all the elves, against the dark master morgos, every time he faced several times his own enemy, but he won under the leadership of the Elven king ininville at that time. Those years are unforgettable, and they are also the most proud golden age and the most powerful age of the elves.

"Ininville, if you were you, you could probably win with a small population." Galantrel's eyes are full of ripples and subtle emotions, recalling the brilliant figure that only exists in the memory!
