[Hobbit+HP] The truth of elves

Lucius has always been willing to communicate with the five native wizards. Judging from Thranduil's unfamiliarity with Lucius' abilities, the native magic is probably quite different from his spells.But at this time Thranduil's face solemnly stated that this matter was not as simple as Lucius thought.

In any case, now is not the time to delve into why.Lucius obeyed the elf king's orders very obediently.

And in order to avoid attracting other people's attention, Lucius has used an unattractive cloak with a hood that Thranduil gave him recently since he left the camp.The style of this dress is a bit similar to that of the wizarding world.I don't know why the elf king, who has always been dressed in gorgeous clothes, still has such a thing.

People came and went on the ruins of River Valley City.Although most of the inner city area is still as deserted as it has been in the past few decades, the city that was abandoned due to the attack of dragons has regained its popularity.

The rise and fall of this city also surprised Lucius.

Humans in this world seemed to be weaker than he expected.

Without exquisite craftsmanship, there is no developed population.It is often affected by wars between other races and thus displaced.

Middle-earth humans without magic can probably be regarded as Muggles.So, will the Muggles here develop into a situation where all groups with magical powers will be forced to hide themselves in the future?

Between the activities of the humans and the elf army that arrived later, there was not much room left outside the city for Lucius to spend his time.Since Thranduil didn't want too many humans to know of his existence, Lucius naturally couldn't go to crowded places.

Bored, Lucius remembered the few pockets he had brought with him just to be on the safe side.

If the Muggles here don't have any special abilities, they probably also belong to the range where the Muggle Repelling Spell can take effect?

Lucius took out a wizard's tent in a corner with few people. After casting the Muggle Repelling Curse and the Ignore Curse on the elves, he hid aside and observed the reactions of the humans and elves walking nearby.

Soon, after confirming the effect of the spell, he approached briskly with his hands and feet, and got into the tent.

As soon as the curtain of the tent was closed, the noise in the city was completely cut off.

When the familiar dark green decorations in the room hit his eyes, Lucius couldn't help but have a sore nose.

No matter how kind Thranduil was to him, there was no way for Lucius to really get rid of the tension of being alone in a new place.

Thinking back at this moment, Lucius still had lingering fears when he misunderstood Thranduil's anger just now.

Recently, the Elf King had been too friendly to him, which made him almost get carried away, and he almost forgot that the other party was also a king who might turn his face and be ruthless.

But fortunately, the other party only let him leave out of his protection.

It wasn't until he changed into the familiar old pajamas and the skin on his back touched the soft bed that he was used to, that Lucius finally relaxed completely and let out a long sigh of relief.

Before falling asleep completely, one last thought flashed through Lucius' mind: no matter how much Thranduil trusted and tolerated him, it would be better to have a space of his own, right?

******

Rest in a familiar and safe environment, and your efficiency will naturally be high.Although Lucius longed for this relaxed feeling, he was not greedy.After all, there is an Elf King outside who may call him at any time.

After checking the conditions of various things in the tent, Lucius quickly slipped out of the tent while others were not paying attention, and put away his belongings.

At this time, the sky was obviously dark, and humans filled the city with fires for heating and lighting.

While waiting for Hardion to find him, Lucius lowered his head and studied the map that Thranduil had handed him.

The gates of Erebo are in a good position, and there is no other direction to attack except the valley in front.Enemies, no matter where they come from, must eventually pass through this plain.Even if there is no effective barrier to the enemy on the plain, it has already prevented Erebo from facing the dilemma of multi-faceted defense.

Judging from the general layout of Erebo and River Valley City, the designer was definitely smart.

The gentlest slope around Erebor is the site of River Valley City. Human beings who were attracted to live here and benefited from the dwarves will naturally reciprocate and guard this location.

The gates of Dale City and Erebor form a right-angled side of the valley, facing two valley entrances that can enter the open area in the middle.Opposite them is a tower built on a narrow plateau to the north.Although the tower has been abandoned at this time, it is not difficult to imagine the purpose of the tower.The highest location provides the best viewing angle for the guards of the tower.

If you enter from the gap in the hill on the left side of the tower, the enemy will attack Erebo, and there is only one not-so-wide attack point.And you have to deal with the attacks of the tower guards.

If they attacked from the only open entrance to the valley on the right side of the tower, they would have to deal with the pincer attack formed on both sides of River Valley City and the tower before seeing Erebor.

Probably except for the giant dragon as the overlord of the air, if you want to invade Erebor, you can only rely on the number of lives to pile up.

In this way, it is no wonder that Thranduil knew that he was injured, but still resolutely marched forward.

Otherwise, as long as the dwarves were given a little more breathing room, Thranduil would have to pay countless times more wealth as the price if he wanted to get back the Moon White Gem.

After thoroughly studying the entire map in his mind, Lucius didn't wait for Haden.At this time, the aroma of food was already wafting in the city.

Calculating the time carefully, it has been at least six hours since Lucius left the tent.If it wasn't that Lucius was sleeping in the tent when Hardion came out to find someone, then it could only be that the meeting in the tent hadn't ended yet.

Lucius didn't know the purpose of this wizard named Gandalf to find Thranduil, but judging from the current posture, Lucius didn't expect to hear any good news in the end.

In desperation, Lucius had no choice but to put away the map, and took a road with few people to carefully observe the internal structure of River Valley City.

However, Lucius did not expect that the decision he made at random just to pass the time would be of great help later on.

When Lucius was found by Harden and returned to the camp of the Elf King, he had already visited most of the River Valley City.During this period of time, not only humans, but even the elf army that took turns resting had already fallen asleep.

As soon as he stepped into the tent, Lucius' mood was suspended.

Bud was still sitting in the tent, holding a glass of wine that was most likely handed to him by Thranduil.As for the wine in the glass, it has not been touched at all.And Thranduil no longer had the casualness of the day, and a little tiredness appeared between his brows.

Seeing Lucius coming back, Bud greeted with a solemn face, but he didn't intend to leave.

"Is there any bad news?" The two leaders in front of him were silent, so Lucius could only ask, "The wizard has left?"

"Gandalf said that an army of half-orcs is coming here." It was Bud who answered Lucius, "Let us stop the dispute with the dwarves and discuss how to deal with it together."

"The scouts didn't find any traces of orc activity, and the dwarven reinforcements are close at hand." The wrinkle between Thranduy's brows deepened, and he was very dissatisfied with Bard's apparently softened attitude, "If they successfully enter Erebor, we shall gain nothing. What will you give your people for the winter?"

"But..." the kind-hearted Bud didn't take the initiative in the battle, "if there are really half-orcs coming to attack..."

"No but, I will not change my decision." Thranduil's attitude was extremely firm, "You can go back and think about it, but my army will not wait for you."

"Okay, I'll go first." Bud finally shook his head, put down the glass of wine, and still made up his mind, "Tomorrow we humans will set off together."

Lucius looked at the back of Bud who was persuaded to leave, but his worries did not diminish.

"Should we wait for Legolas to come back before deciding? He should bring back the most reliable news." There is no defense in the valley, and it's fine if the orcs don't come. If they come, they will definitely have an advantage in numbers.And even with the same number, half of the configuration of the elf army is archers who are not good at melee combat.If you engage in positional warfare in such an open area, you will definitely be at a disadvantage.

"There is no war without a price, and tomorrow's battle may not necessarily be fought." Thranduil turned the wine glass between his fingers, closed his eyes and said, "I will leave five hundred elves in the city to protect those who have no fighting power." Elves and Men. You also stay and wait for news from Legolas."

"If the orcs come..."

"If the half-orcs came but were not discovered by the scouts, the number must not be many. Even if they charge forward, five hundred elves are enough to hold the city gate and support us until we retreat to the city." Thranduy opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes were like torches, "But it would be a real joke if we could scare off an entire army of ours with a few words from one wizard."

Facing Thranduil's gaze, Lucius finally held back what he hadn't said.

Now that Thranduil's decision was so firm, Lucius didn't feel any obligation to speak for another wizard he didn't know.

Throughout the day, the other party failed to convince the Elf King, obviously because the lobbyist did not have any strong evidence.

And just to be on the safe side, Thranduil did not completely ignore the other party's warning, and made the decision to leave the elves in the city to respond.

No matter from which point of view, this is already the best decision.

Considering these factors, Lucius was even more unwilling to anger Thranduil, who was already quite irritable.

But, why is there still a faint sense of crisis in my heart that I can't get rid of?

After a minute of silence, Lucius finally said, "Your Majesty, I want to be by your side tomorrow."
