[Hobbit+HP] The truth of elves

Chapter 61 His decision

If Thranduil agrees to Bard's disguised alliance request, then the Woodland Kingdom needs to send to Long Lake Town, not just some logistics elves responsible for the construction.

If the dwarves are really eyeing the control of Changhu Town, once the construction of elves and humans starts, it won't take long for the dwarves to find out.Once the three-party game becomes an isolated and excluded corner, the stability constraints will be out of balance.The dwarves acted like a good boy when they got an advantage, they never knew the habit of arrogance and didn't know how to negotiate, they just swung their soldiers down with arrogance.

In this case, the number of human beings in the hundreds will definitely not have any blocking effect.Facing each other on the battlefield are elves and dwarves.It's just equivalent to the confrontation in front of Erebo, and the inevitable battle has been delayed until now.

The elves have no ability to avoid this battle.Then, the only way to reduce your own losses is to delay the time of being discovered by the dwarves as much as possible and build as many fortifications as possible.

And if it is necessary to coordinate the logistics elves and elf warriors at the same time, Lucius is confident that he will be the most suitable one in the woodland kingdom.

This is obviously not something that can be decided at will according to one's own likes and dislikes.No matter how reluctant Thranduil was to let Lucius out of his sight, the Elven King, who was absolutely responsible to his people, would not let his sensibility hinder his rationality and give up Lucius' choice.

Having figured this out, Lucius almost couldn't restrain the corners of his mouth from rising.

"If we can have a controllable dock in Long Lake, the waterway traffic between Erebor and Iron Mountain will be restricted by us." Galian first broke the silence, "The most important thing is that the trade route of Rohan can be obtained. Assure."

"It is not necessary for us to rebuild Long Lake Town." Thranduil glared at Galian, who couldn't help but support him, and still had a negative attitude. "The dwarves will definitely want the control you want to snatch. Unless We can finish the defense before the dwarves, or those crow allies of the dwarves will surely tip them off. We can't go through another war!"

"But even if we don't rebuild Long Lake Town, when the dwarves recover, they can't let go of the key location of Long Lake Town." Galian was stared a little apprehensively, but he still didn't give up.

"Then come and kill as many as you want." Thranduy's cold snort was filled with a sense of sternness, his cold eyes swept across Galian and Lucius one by one, and finally met Bud's eyes, "As long as there If it cannot be built, the elves will not be threatened."

Galian was booed immediately, and Lucius, who was unwilling to take the initiative to speak, raised his heart directly to his throat.

However, the scene did not fall silent like Lucius' subconscious reaction.

Facts have proved that, perhaps for the people he guards, Bard, like Thranduil, has the potential to become that guardian.To put it another way, when a person who is considered to be inarticulate really wants to protect what he cherishes most, the potential that bursts out is absolutely not to be underestimated.

"Since the war you want to avoid will eventually happen, why not choose the present when the dwarves have not recovered, but choose a future when the dwarves can continue to increase their troops from Iron Mountain? Their current number is not enough to challenge you authority, but no one can predict what will happen in the future. I don’t think the elves at that time can still have an advantage in military strength. And at that time,” Bard tried his best to put forward his rebuttal without hesitation The reason is, "The number of our human beings is definitely not the current situation. If all our family members who need to protect stand in front of the dwarves' spears, even if they go against their hearts, I, or my descendants, can only do so without hesitation. Shake our weapons at you, as my ancestors had to face Smaug!"

"Could it be that this is also a situation that you can choose to kill as much as you want?" Suddenly standing up, Bud confronted Thranduil with his support on the table: "No, I won't look at the situation It developed into that. The tragedy of River Valley City cannot be repeated!"

The tension in the atmosphere seemed to turn into substance, and the air in front of him seemed to be dragged in like two ends of cloth because of the confrontation between Bard and Thranduil.The eyes of the two kings also refused to give in to each other.Under high pressure, Bud's explosive momentum cannot be ignored.

"Unless," the Elf King crossed his fingers, clasped his hands in front of him, and his voice was still low, "you have a way to let the dwarves discover your progress as late as possible."

"No, I can't, as far as I am concerned, there is no choice at all." With his hands on the table clenched into fists, Bud slowly sat down, "Unlike you, I have never encountered a battle that I am sure of. .To me, things often just have to be done."

Thranduil did not respond to Bard's confession.Galian looked left and right, and after confirming that the two parties in the dispute had gradually calmed down, he tentatively opened his mouth: "Maybe things are not as bad as we thought. The King of the River Valley was just planning for a rainy day, and he came to seek our allies because he was worried about the dwarves' interference." In other words, the dwarves may not immediately show that they want to control Long Lake Town. After all, Long Lake Town has always belonged to humans, just like we don’t want to occupy Long Lake Town without authorization. The position, the dwarves should not rush to tear their skins with humans before they recover. At least on the surface, your current relationship should be pretty good!"

"That's natural." Bud quickly nodded in agreement.

"Yes, they should also be worried that you are unwilling to build Long Lake Town. Then I have a suggestion." After getting Bud's gaze, Galian looked at Thranduil again, and got the latter's nod of approval Then he continued, "It's business as usual on the King of the River Valley, and send people who want to settle in Changhu Town. Don't rush for success, just like a natural village. Slowly produce and build. Our support is only superficial. Food and these. In case the dwarves propose to join, you will inform us. The dwarfs will also be like us, worried that the situation will become a three-way melee. If it really reaches that point, we can reach a pact, just like before, without interfering with humans activities. Until the life of human beings in Long Lake Town is stabilized, we can delay as much as possible the time for the dwarves to discover our construction of fortifications under the cover of daily construction. At that time, we can also send elves to form a caravan, which can be regarded as Staying in Changhu Town and being responsible for dealing with humans, that can explain why elves appear in Changhu Town."

Galian's suggestion was consistent with his usual personality, reflecting a steady style of work.At least Thranduil, who was used to Galion, seemed quite satisfied with this.

However, this suggestion actually goes back to the situation similar to Bard's original situation. The elves' contributions and benefits are in line with the interests of the elves, but the risks borne by humans are far greater than the help they get from the elves.

Seeing Thranduil nod slightly, Bard's smile became extra bitter: "You mean, let everything go back to before the arrival of Smaug, humans settled in two cities, Long Lake Town and River Valley City, without being affected by elves and dwarves. Is there a state of interference?"

"Uh..." Galian probably didn't think too far, but purely from the perspective of elves, "It seems... not good to return to the previous balance?"

"The past is too long ago, and I don't know the situation. But as far as I am concerned, there is one biggest problem with your suggestion. Humans who are willing to return to Changhu Town may be able to recognize me as the King of the River Valley, Accept my leadership, but it is impossible to accept that I am in charge of two places for a long time. After all, they will go back to the old way and elect a mayor of Changhu Town who actually manages. I don't want the humans in River Valley City to become cannon fodder for the dwarves , so you suggested that I develop Long Lake Town as a foundation that can be retreated. But have you ever thought," Bud folded his hands into a circle, and then divided into two circles to represent the long lake and the river valley, "when we are separated into two After this independent part, will the new mayor of Changhu Town still be willing to be controlled by me? When I move to Changhu Town with the power of River Valley City, will he shut me out?"

"So you thought of sharing Long Lake Town with the elves?" Thranduy raised his eyebrows and asked, because Bard's real core interests were surprised, "So that Long Lake Town will not break away from your control and become another independent human territory ?”

"Yes, this is what I need. In a city co-managed by elves and humans, the mayor of Changhu Town is responsible to us, not to himself." Bud nodded, and said that he was very likely to be directly rejected by the elf king again. "So, in the initial construction, the participation of elves cannot be done."

There was a long silence in the study room, and the discussion finally ended in an unsolvable loop.Thranduil didn't reject Bard right away, but chose to think carefully.

At the end of the discussion, Lucius' frown like the other three's was slowly unfurled.

In fact, the conflict between elves and humans is not without solutions.As long as the construction of Changhu Town is kept hidden from the dwarves until it is completed.But this harsh condition was not that difficult for Lucius.

If the final result of Thranduil's consideration is to agree...

"Your Majesty, in fact, we can consider agreeing. As long as we choose a careful and reliable elf to take charge..." Galian's voice slipped out through the crack of the door when Lucius accompanied Bud out of the study.

"for example?"

"For example, Lucius, in terms of his ability, he should be able to..."

"Anyone is fine, Galian, if you can find a competent elf," the elf king Yoyo's voice became more blurred after turning around, "but only Lucius, I will never allow it."

The wooden door finally closed slowly with a slight friction sound.

"What's the matter with you?" Bud walked a few steps, only to find that Lucius hadn't followed, so he turned around and asked.

Let go of the hand holding the doorknob, Lucius raised his head, every part of his face showed the most impeccable smile: "Oh, it's nothing, I was distracted for a while."

The author has something to say: the follow-up of the funny version of the main text:

King: Only Lucius, I absolutely do not allow it.

Gallian: (sad face) Why?If he doesn't go, I will have to go!Can you rest assured about other elves?

King: Then you go.

Galian: Hey, would you be willing to give up on me in such a poor place?

Your Majesty: Knowing that the world is poor and evil, still let Lucius go?

Gary: is he willing?

King: I am not happy!

Galian: Why aren't you happy? He shouldn't mind.

King: He is gone, you come to play for me?

Galian: ...Your Majesty, I will go!I am willing to dedicate myself to the interests of the kingdom. Even if the mountains are bald and the water is dry, I will go to Changhu Town!

King: Know yourselves, go, call Lucius back, the fish haven’t been fed for lunch today

Galian: Your Majesty, feed me again, the fish will die again.

King: If you die, you can exchange two more to feed Lucius.

Thank you for the land mines that you rewarded~~~
