[Hobbit+HP] The truth of elves

According to the historical records of the elves, the Easterners living in the Inner Sea of ​​Rune have always been very ambitious towards Romania, Northern Ithilien and even the area on the west bank of the Anduin River, and they have also invaded westward several times.Once they had developed to the point where they were only one step away from establishing a colony, but they failed in the end.

For a long time, it has been difficult for the Easterners to complete the strategy of the Western Expedition alone, and the cost of finding allies is too high.After a long time, their leader seems to gradually no longer have such an idea.

I don't know when and at what price Sauron persuaded this force this time.

If you want to come to the Holy White Council, you must have been afraid of this force.

It's just that it's still unknown whether the Easterners will have the effect that Sauron expected.

It took Lucius a day and a half to drive the bone dragon from Dol Guldur to Isinger.Since it was known that Thranduil might have already made some moves, Lucius' speed was far from going all out.

He managed to rescue Saruman at the last moment, and then controlled the bone dragon to fly east at the same speed.

From Isinger to the direction of the Inner Sea of ​​Rune, the distance far exceeds the distance between Dol Guldur and Isinger. In addition, it took an extra day to find the Eastern team. Lucius followed the cable Five days had passed since he left Dol Guldur when Ren asked to send Saruman to his destination.

I don't know what kind of mentality Saruman is based on. When he left Isengard, he carried Lucius' wand with him, but he didn't bring the crystal of truth that could communicate with Sauron.Because of this, they who have been flying have not known the latest changes on the front line for the past few days.

Because Lucius deliberately procrastinated in his heart, he didn't care about the lagging behind the news.

Looking at Saruman again, I found that he seemed to have a similar mentality.

The progress of the Easterners' army was obviously a few days behind what Saruman had known earlier, but after Saruman landed and took over the control of this team, his first thought was not to speed up the march, but to march toward Lucius shows off.

Without the Crystal of Knowledge, even if the battle situation on Mordor changes again, Sauron will not be able to change Saruman's direction, so it may be difficult for this Eastern team to play an effective role.

Now that he had guessed the possible ending of Saruman, Lucius didn't bother to bother with him about his childish behavior, and left without further words.

The journey back to Dol Guldur is still controlled at the same level as the previous top speed. Lucius is anxious and dusty on the surface, and hardly stops.

But when he really returned to his place, nine days had passed since he left.

******

At the beginning, Koroche accepted Lucius' order to support the orcs who were confronting the elves.But when he later discovered that the half-orcs were only confronting the elves across the old forest road without conflict, he executed the second set of orders left by Lucius and led the humans back to defend Dol Guldur.

There is only one order from Lucius, that is, no matter what happens outside, Koroche must ensure that when he returns, Dol Guldur's master will not be changed.

The human army led by Koroche is all mercenaries or exiles from the dark world, and the number is not large.And the ordinary humans who came to the "shelter" were mainly responsible for the construction of the east entrance and had no combat effectiveness.

Because of this, the half-orcs don't care about the fate of humans like Koroche.Even as they retreated from the front lines, they were happy to see it happen.

Koroche has long been accustomed to the prejudice against half-orcs. He put himself at the level of Lucius' right-hand man, and he didn't care about the small gains and losses.

Lucius left Dol Guldur, and he couldn't help thinking more.Although the half-orcs and elves did not fight immediately, Lucius, who was the core commander of Dol Guldur, left. Can the peaceful situation here really be maintained forever?

It turned out to be impossible, and Coroche's worries soon became a reality.

Under the leadership of the Elf King, the elves of the Woodland Kingdom confronted the half-orcs across the old forest road for a day. It looked like what Lucius said before, just to hold back Dol Guldur's troops, and did not want to really There is a fight.

However, in the early morning of the second day, the two elf teams took advantage of their excellent night vision to bypass the east and west ends of the old forest road and directly attacked the half-orc team's center formation.

War is about to break out.

Without preparation in advance, mediocre individual combat literacy, lack of experience in woodland combat, and no high-level commanders to sit in command, the army dominated by half-orcs was almost defeated. Even the one who frequently blocked Lucius All the orc leaders died.

The original commander also died, and the half-orc team was even more chaotic, and they could barely support it with the help of dark creatures.

If the elves hadn't been in a hurry to wipe out all their enemies in one go, the battle might have blazed beyond the gates of Dol Guldur in no time.

This rhythm gave the orc a chance to linger on and try to support himself, but it also made Koroche realize that something must happen.

Sure enough, when the resistance of the orcs was suppressed to the east entrance, a group of elves diverted to the east entrance.The humans in Dongkou, who were nominally fighting against Sauron, followed the elf's suggestion without any resistance, and let an army of human dwarves pass through their territory.Koroche garrisoned Dol Guldur according to Lucius' order, and it was too late to stop the change at the east entrance.

When Lucius saw Koroche again, it had been four days since the human and dwarf army passed through the East Gate.

Koroche was so anxious that he didn't dare to sleep for more than three days. He only paid close attention to all the movements outside Dol Guldur.When he saw Lucius, he was relieved and asked this difficult question: "What should we do now?"

Lucius couldn't predict all the changes, so he could only think about it as soon as possible.

The coalition of humans and dwarves probably cannot completely hide from Sauron's sight, and Mordor will definitely respond.

What can Sauron do?

In the case of fierce fighting in various places, the flow of civilians is less, and the intelligence is much less.

The current situation at the forefront is unknown.

As for the biggest off-court force that Sauron could get, the Easterners still needed at least ten days to arrive at Mordor.

What can nine days plus ten days be enough for?

If time is not used well, the length of a few days will not change the world much.But the same amount of time is in the hands of a commander who is good at capturing battlefield signals, and it is enough to finalize multiple battles.

Another ten days would be enough for the human-dwarf coalition forces from Romanian to arrive in Mordor, placing the most important bargaining chip in the planning of the Holy White Council.

In fact, it was not without price that the Holy White Council could put such a heavy pressure on Mordor. The southward pressure of all troops means that the north is completely empty.It's an all-or-nothing option.Once the power of the dark camp chooses to go north, there will be no troops to dispatch on the territory of Shengbai.

As the only force under Sauron's command that is still in the north, the half-orcs of Dol Guldur have been completely entangled by the elves of the woodland kingdom.As long as Lucius is not prepared to personally go to court and cause chaos in Romania regardless of the cost, the Holy White Council wins the bet.

In fact, Dol Guldur was originally a living chess, but because Lucius saved someone and left for nine days, it became a dead chess.

Lucius' face did not bring the expected reaction to Koroche, and he couldn't help asking again: "What are we going to do? Orcs can't last for many days. As long as those elves launch a full-scale attack, we may not be able to get rid of them." They have kept Dol Guldur out."

The elves of the Woodland Kingdom are still fighting the half-orcs near the east entrance, most likely because they want to consume Dol Guldur's power at the lowest cost.If some measures are not taken, even if Mordor decides the winner, Dol Guldur may indeed be like what Coroche said, there is nothing left for Lucius.

But before Lucius could tell his method, the terrifying figure appeared in the hall where he and Koroche were discussing.

Lucius had been waiting for Sauron's news, so he and Koroche stayed in this hall all the time.

When Sauron came, Lucius was the quickest to react and bowed down to salute, while the human Koroche knelt down on one knee under the pressure.

Sauron's projection was blurred, but also more terrifying.The changes again and again seemed to let Lucius witness him step by step into madness.

"Your Majesty the Devil." Lucius saluted respectfully, "Please give me instructions!"

"Take all your strength and go south immediately to stop those dwarves." Sauron's voice was extremely low, and the violence contained in it made people's hearts beat wildly, and cold sweat broke out.

"Your Majesty the Demon Monarch, taking them away means abandoning Dol Guldur completely, please be careful!" Lucius did not look up at all, and only answered quickly with a low voice, "The half-orcs here have been fighting the elves for a long time. It's been eight days, and even if they start now, they can't catch up with those dwarves."

Before Lucius finished speaking, the scorching breath from Sauron had already swept over.Lucius frowned slightly, but Koroche staggered back from the impact of the force, and let out a muffled grunt, unable to resist at all.

"Your Majesty the Devil!"

"I'll give you three days." Sauron interrupted Lucius' continuation, "You must arrive at Mordor within three days to stop the Guardians of the Ring!"

After hearing this, Lucius showed a troubled expression.The distance from Dol Guldur to Mordor far exceeds that of Isengard, and the limit given by Sauron has exceeded the limit speed that Lucius has been driving the bone dragon.

But Sauron's coercion remained undiminished, obviously not planning to leave any room for Lucius to fight.

Seeing that the trembling figure of Koroche gritted his teeth and persisted, Lucius lowered his head by two points, and promised in a low voice: "Yes, I will definitely do it."

Having got the promise, Sauron didn't delay at all.The terrifying power dissipated in an instant, and Koroche also fell to the side.

"If you want to leave now, I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for you to come back, and so is Dol Guldur." Koroche struggled to get up, but he didn't give up struggling, but his tone couldn't conceal the deep worry.

"Since it is already my territory, no one can take it away." Lucius tightened his left hand covered under the wide sleeve, and said firmly, "Go and tie up all the elves under the castle, and take them away." Take them to the front line one by one. Tell those elves to stop fighting and retreat immediately. As long as they stop, we will release one elf a day. They will definitely agree. Remember, follow my Annis to be the last one to release."

Koroche showed shock on his face, "But... even if it's useful, then... what about nine days later?"

"Nine days?" Lucius sneered, turned around and walked away from the hall without hesitation, and the flickering eyes in his eyes were all hidden where no one could notice, "I'm afraid the final result won't wait for you Nine days."
