Elrond sat on the throne, worried, with the map around ravendale open on his knees. It seems that he mustered people to come here for nothing good.
He has learned the news of the reappearance of tverdo through the guard, which is undoubtedly a boost to his confidence. In particular, tverdo has demonstrated the positive combat effectiveness not inferior to Saruman, which is certainly of great help for the next action. His eyes have been staring at the entrance of the venue, and when Zhao Mai walked in, he obviously felt that tverdo looked more mysterious, as if there were invisible forces protecting him, and the wind around could not bring any news.
The power of the wind ring is blocked by Zhao Mai's insect heart ring, or it is smooth to hide in the past. If Elrond closed other senses and only used the ring of wind, he would not find Zhao Mai at all. To adapt to and integrate into the environment is a native creature everywhere, and the will of the world will be imperceptible.
"Long time no see, I recovered, but you look very bad, what happened?"
"I will be better only if evil no longer threatens ravendale. However, we'd better wait until everyone arrives. " Elrond rolled up the map on his knee and asked everyone to sit down. In addition to the ring guard team, several Elven generals from ravendale and the dwarf groyne who stayed were also there.
"I got a message from grofendale. It's not good news." Elrond's opening remarks set the tone of the meeting, and everyone listened. "Griffindale went south, down the Xiangshui River, then turned to the North-South Boulevard and tried to go all the way south to Gondor. This is my favorite line, because it's the flattest and easy to walk, and I can get Gondor's help as soon as possible. But what I think of, Saruman thinks of it
"There are Saruman spies flying in the sky. Crows keep sending the news on the road to Osaka tower, and then elite orcs will attack. This is a new kind of ORC, stronger and more endurance. The most terrible thing is that they are not afraid of the sun and can move in the daytime. " "The orcs have white palms on their armor, which is the mark of Saruman, but it's more evil and twisted now," Elrond said. The number of them is increasing, and I'm afraid you can't get to Gondor unless Gondor can send cavalry on the western border. "
Boromir closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then shook his head: "I'm sorry, I can't make a promise either. The main pressure we are facing is in the East. We can't send soldiers to the western frontier. I don't think it's useful to divide up dozens of soldiers if we can make Lord gloffindale helpless. But Gondor was no longer able to mobilize the regiment to fight. "
"Griffindale had the same idea, so he sent a messenger to Rohan to ask king Theoden for help. But like all the messengers before, they are gone forever without any response Elrond shook his head and said, "isinger and Saruman are on the border of Rohan. We have reason to believe that Rohan is likely to be an accomplice of the dark forces like Saruman."
"Things may not be as bad as they think." Aragorn said: "I fought with the Knights of Rohan. They are also strong men with honor and justice. Maybe Rohan is in trouble, just like all of us, but I don't think they will go all the way to the Dark Lord. "
"I hope your words will come true, then we really have hope." "But in the current situation, Saruman's strength has taken advantage of Gondor's weakness to cut off the North-South ties, and perhaps add Rohan, who is in an unknown situation," Elrond said. But I said the situation is not clear, the actual situation is even worse. "
"Westward and northward are just strategic deceptions. We all know that those two directions are meaningless. Therefore, in the current situation, there is only one way for us to go, that is, to cross the steep Sith eglil (misty mountains) eastward, and then go to the elf controlled Los Lorraine, where we can go south to find a chance to go to Gondor. "
"To the elves? Go to... " Jinli wants to talk, but groyin knocks on his helmet. Although they don't like elves, groyin knows that it's urgent, and now is definitely not the time to stir up conflicts. He has tolerated Legolas, the spirit of the black forest, in the ring protection team, and the gold forest spirit, who has no big hatred, has passed away.
"What you can think of, Saruman can think of." Zhao Mai said: "saluman attended half of the meetings and knew too much about our situation. He knows that we are going to Mordor and there are so many steps we can take. He can set traps one by one and wait for us to take the bait. "
"You're right. As time goes on, every road will face more and more difficulties. We can't wait any longer. " Elrond sighed and said, "we have to imagine the worst. Saruman is already the enemy. If Rohan also joins the enemy, then starting from the Mordor gate, the direction to the north is open. Solon could cross Rohan's northern border all the way to the west, join the forces of Saruman, bypass the southern end of the misty mountains, cross Rohan pass to the north, and then besiege ravendale. Although it's a difficult long march for Solon, it's possible for him to do it because of his madness and evil, and his persistence in the supreme ring. ""If there's any sign of that, I'll cut off Sauron's logistics immediately. Even if the orcs plunder all the way, but at least they can make their power greatly weakened
"But Rohan and isenger will feed the orcs - when they have become allies." "I just want to say that ravendale can't protect people forever," Elrond said. Now the only chance is to cross the misty mountains eastward as soon as possible when Saruman's power has not reached its peak and his eyes are all focused on the south! I know it's very difficult and unimaginable to cross the snow mountain in this season of ice and water. But also because it is difficult to imagine, so there is a glimmer of success. We are always looking for light from the dark, and it will not be easy
"It's risky, but tactically it explains the past." Boromir said: "Saruman has always been regarded as a man full of wisdom. Only when we work as hard as warriors and make the impossible possible can we have the ability to fight against the wise. I agree with the plan. "
Aragorn nodded, and he seemed to agree. But before he spoke, he asked the halfling, "Frodo, you are a man of precepts. What do you think? It's not easy to climb the snow mountain this season. "
"I..." Frodo thought about it and replied, "I believe in your opinions, and you are all thoughtful and intelligent people. If there's no other choice, let's go over the misty mountains! "
"That's settled. I'll ask the elves to prepare your luggage and make more preparations for climbing the mountain." "Next, there's something about the sword of Nasir and the Lord of the rings. Please follow me, Frodo, Aragorn and tverdo. Others, please come back," Elrond said
