Middle-earth Raiders Full Plan

After the battle of Umbar, Anila disappeared from Gondor without warning.

At the same time, Exilion received a letter from Anila, which hinted that she would return to Gondor in a year.

Exilion was silent for a long time after reading the letter, and finally burned the letter without revealing the matter to Denethor.

Anila They sailed north along the Anduin River, and stayed for a while when they passed the Golden Lorraine. During this period, what happened between Aragorn and Arwen was slightly ignored. Rivendell.

They had just arrived at the entrance of Rivendell when they saw a tall and handsome blond elf waiting there with a smile.

Legolas and Nero had never seen this elf before, but they still instinctively felt the majesty and power hidden in that elf, and couldn't help secretly guessing who it was.

And Anila and Aragorn had already got off their horses and greeted them with joy on their faces: "Master Glorfindel!"

Ah, it was Glorfindel, Legolas realized.In the whole of Central Continent, is there any elf who doesn't know the famous Golden Flower Lord?

"Elrond foresaw that you would arrive at about this time, and asked me to come and meet you. It just so happens that I have nothing to do these days." Glorfindel said, his voice was as melodious as music, and his eyes were full of wisdom He took a deep look at Legolas and Nero, and made a gesture of greeting among the elves, "Welcome to Rivendell as a guest, His Royal Highness Prince Legolas of Mirkwood."

"I have long admired your name." Legolas returned the salute.

"Your Excellency?" Glorfindel looked at Nero again.

"Nero, son of Naden of Rudol." Nero replied calmly, neither humble nor overbearing.

Glorfindel smiled slightly. "I heard Anila mention you," he said, looking at Anila and Aragorn again, "Anila, and Aragorn, Lord Elrond hopes that you two can go to the study to see him as soon as possible. "

"Aragorn, pack up and go see Lord Elrond first." Anila said, "I'll take Legolas and Nero to Mr. Lindir to arrange a place for them, and then I'll go there right away. "

"Okay." Aragorn just wanted to talk to Elrond alone, and nodded in agreement.

"In this case, Anila, please take Mr. Nero to find Lindir first." Glorfindel said gently, "As for His Royal Highness Legolas, please stay for a while. I haven't seen someone from Mirkwood for a long time." Compatriots, there are some things I want to talk to you about."

"..." Although Glorfindel's smile was still bright, Legolas felt inexplicably uneasy.

However, to Legolas' surprise, Glorfindel did not ask about the recent situation of Mirkwood or anything else, but was quite interested in how Legolas met Anila and the others, and asked Many things of Rohan and Gondor.

If he wanted to know the situation in the south, he would be able to ask Anila and Aragorn more clearly than me, Legolas thought strangely, but he still tried his best to describe many things that happened to them in the past few decades. , including the Umba naval battle that just ended a few months ago.

Glorfindel listened with a smile on his face at first, but the smile gradually disappeared as he listened, and his expression became full of meaning.

"You saw the sea?" Glorfindel asked, "It's a wonderful feeling, right? Elves should not be able to resist the temptation of the sea."

"Yes, I really want to take a boat and leave Middle-earth immediately." Now thinking of the sea, Legolas still yearned, "If it wasn't for Anila still here—and Aragorn."

He added the second half of the sentence pretentiously, but his ears turned red, and he glanced cautiously at Glorfindel.

Glorfindel didn't seem to notice his strangeness, and chuckled lightly, as if jokingly said: "It's not surprising, Anila and Aragorn's attraction to elves may not be inferior to that of the sea. When two little bean diced..."

I am Glorfindel.

I have lived in Rivendell since the Third Age.

After the fall of the northern kingdom of Arnor, Elrond selflessly sheltered every descendant of his twin brother, and every exile chief of the Dúnedain spent his childhood in Rivendell.

Over the past 1000 years, I have met more than a dozen descendants of Eloise. To each of them, I have taught them all I have learned throughout my life, hoping that they can restore the glory of the ancient royal family and lead mankind to glory. In this era where things are becoming more and more rampant, there are very few of them who can even live their lives, let alone return to the throne.

"Perhaps the right time has not come yet." Elrond said with a sigh.

So when is the right time?Even if it is as powerful as Galadriel, it may not be visible in her water mirror.

Less than 50 years ago, the No. 15 chief of Dunedan, Arathorn, died unfortunately in a battle against the half-orcs. His wife Gilleen took two children and came to Rivendell for refuge.

This seems to be the first time this happened. Before Anila, all the leaders of Dunedan who came to Rivendell to seek asylum were male without exception.

The Númenor Empire is not without precedents of daughters ascending the throne and proclaiming themselves emperors. More than [-] emperors have four empresses, but they have no great deeds other than the special sex that can be used as talk for future generations. The last one The queen was also usurped by her nephew—the golden Farathon who led to the demise of the Númenor Empire—and after Elendil came to Middle-earth to establish a new human empire, Gondor even more There was never another queen.After the last king of Gondor, Ondohe, and his son died in battle, his only surviving daughter, Ferril, was asked to succeed to the throne and become queen according to the laws of Númenor, but this request was rejected by Gondor. The prime minister and the council unanimously refused, on the grounds that in such troubled times, a woman who does not understand military affairs would only hasten the demise of Gondor.

In fact, in peaceful times, men and women are equal regardless of whether they are elves or humans, but in times of war, the gap between the two is more obvious, especially for humans who are relatively weaker than elves. That said, war seems to be more and more a thing for men.

At this time, I naturally dare not expect too much from Anila.

Although Anila can grow up healthy and safe is my only wish for her, but I know that in such a turbulent age, even such a request is almost a luxury, unless she lives in the safe Raven all her life. Dale, otherwise she must have enough strength to protect herself.

However, Anila is probably the toughest girl I've ever met.

From a very young age, Anila had no interest in girls' things like dolls and princess dresses. Relatively speaking, she prefers to play horseback riding and fighting games with boys. Of course, I think she also Didn't really like those games, but Anila got me caught several times in Elrond's study while Aragorn was still running around outside wielding a little wooden sword.

I don't think there will be books suitable for such a young child in Elon's study room, but every time I see her look like a little bun when I pick her up with one hand, I find it very interesting, and Anila She was a very careful child, and almost never damaged anything in the study. Over time, Elrond no longer cared about her, but was quite proud of having a daughter who loved to read and write.

Chi, as if the daughter was his own.

Only once, I asked her seriously: "Velodys, why do you always like to stay in the study?"

She gave me a blank look: "Because there are books here."

I was amused by her: "Can you understand?"

She stopped talking, rolled a few times on the grass, and then lay on my lap: "Glorfindel, when will you teach me how to use a sword and a bow?"

A little girl, why would she want to learn how to use a sword?Not a lively temperament.

"Because I can protect others only if I learn how to use a sword." Anila replied childishly, carelessly fiddled with a small white flower on the grass.

"Oh?" I was quite surprised by this unexpected answer, but also a little happy, "Who do you want to protect?"

"That's a lot." She answered me solemnly, "Nana, Ada, Estelle, Mr. Lindyr, Eledan and Elloch, and you, Glorfindel, all of Rivendell. Others, and many, many people outside of Rivendell..."

The more I listened, the more I felt something was wrong, almost thinking that Anila knew her real identity, but even if she really knew, would a five-year-old girl really understand what that identity means?

"But you only have one person, Velodis, how can you protect so many people?" I asked tentatively.

"So I want to learn how to use a sword. I want to become very powerful, so that I can protect more people." She replied seriously.

"Even protecting people you don't know?"

"As long as they are good people, I am willing to protect them." She replied, the tone of her voice was extremely immature, but her tone of voice was calm like a little adult.

I am somewhat confused whether these words of Anila are based on the pure and beautiful wish of a naive child or the compassion and kindness hidden in the heart of a born king.

Although Anila has a good mouth, I have to say that she is probably the most difficult student I have ever taught.

I have taught many students, including elves and humans, Bingxue who is a little smarter, and someone with mediocre qualifications who have caught up through hard work, but Anila is the strangest of them all.

Call her stupid, she is the fastest learner among all the people I have ever seen, and she is very good at applying what she has learned. Veteran, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make such an on-the-spot reaction.

It can be said that she is smart, but she can't correct many of her subtle mistakes that I corrected. Once I couldn't help it, and criticized her severely, she was wronged and murmured "I'm sorry" in a low voice. "Get used to it" "I will change"...

What are you used to? !How long can she hold a sword before she develops such a bad habit that can't be changed by life or death?It's clearly a mistake and you're still looking for excuses!

I was also short-tempered that time, even elves have a temper.Unknowingly, my expectations for Anila have never been higher. My requirements for her are no lower than any boy, and even surpassed every generation of Dúnedain leaders in the past.

After all, those who say "I don't kill women" can only appear in novels. Who cares whether you are a man or a woman during a war?On the contrary, as a woman with weak physical strength, Anila has to pay more hardships to stand out on the battlefield.

And the posture that Anila has been unable to change seems to be just a harmless little problem, but if she really meets someone with keen eyesight and superb swordsmanship, it may become her fatal flaw.

"Are you used to it? Then keep this posture and don't move until you get used to it." I said coldly, "Estair, come here, I will continue to teach you."

I seldom get angry like this. Aragorn was probably scared stupid by me, and he didn’t dare to intercede with Anila, so he obediently followed me to the other side, leaving Anila standing there alone. .

It was winter at that time, and Anila actually stood there without moving for more than two hours. I thought she was angry with me, so I kept ignoring her. Later, when it was dark, I Let Aragorn go back first.

After Aragorn walked away step by step, I walked over to Anila, still with a straight face: "Have you changed it now?"

Anila nodded, not daring to speak.

I sighed slightly, feeling soft-hearted, and knelt down to help her wipe off the frozen snot: "Then you are still standing here stupidly? Hurry up and move around."

Anila stared at me with her big bright eyes, blinked a few times, and tried hard to take a step——

Then she lay on the ground directly, and finally I carried her back.

Walking on the road, I hesitated for a while, but still couldn't hold back and asked her, "You're not angry with me, are you?"

Children, especially little girls, should be unhappy after being scolded or punished, whether they are afraid or wronged, and Anila's mind is especially delicate and sensitive.

Anila shook her head: "No." Afraid that I wouldn't believe it, she leaned over and carefully rubbed her face on my neck to express her intimacy, "So Lord Glorfindel, don't be angry with me, okay?" good?"

I can just picture her with those pathetic dog eyes behind me.

In fact, my anger has dissipated long ago, and I have even faintly regretted that I made such a decision on impulse. If Anila had acted coquettishly on me just now, I would definitely take advantage of the situation and reprimand her again. Even if the matter is over, Anila is stubborn and cruel, her arms and legs are numb, but she doesn't even complain.

This is good, but it has become my most heart-warming, just thinking about what to do tomorrow to make up for her without making the little girl too complacent.

Legolas couldn't help but recall the days when Anila was training recruits in Gondor—

"You can't even hold your breath underwater for 3 minutes! What are you all doing! Just like this, you claim to be the most powerful navy in Gondor?!" Anila glared fiercely.

"We really tried our best, General, but we really can't do it." Someone was still trying to justify.

"Can't do it?" Anila looked at the man coldly, walked over suddenly, grabbed the man's beard and collar and threw him into the water, "If you can't do it, practice it for me! Otherwise Just take off your armor and go home! Do you think that everything will be fine if you can serve as a soldier and have enough food? Or do you think that fighting is a child’s game?! If you have the ability, you can play with your life, and I respect you as a man !"

……

Although Anila is very cruel in normal training, this does not prevent her from becoming one of the most respected and loved generals in Gondor. She is still very gentle, and she has no airs of a general; secondly, the army she led has never lost a single battle in the past ten years, which is well-known in the whole of Gondor; thirdly, it is because of Amastacia The general is handsome and sexy, I really can't get angry with her...

In the military camp headed by a group of rough old men, Anila is indeed the most eye-catching scenery, but very few people confess to her, because Anila once said——

"Want to try to pursue me? Yes! Solongil's sword skills, Legolas' archery skills, or my physical skills, as long as you are better than us in one of them, I will agree."

So those energetic young men who were about to move were quiet.

"Ah, so Anila is so popular in Gondor?" Glorfindel laughed, "It's really rare that she doesn't fall in love with anyone."

"Um……"

"However, this is also a very wise choice." Glorfindel said, "After all, she is quite pure in the blood of Númenor. Compared with those people, her life span is almost three times that of theirs."

The tone was very ordinary, and there was nothing wrong with what he said, but Legolas felt a chill behind him for no reason.

"It seems that they are about the same age as her now, but in a few decades, they will quickly become gray-haired old people, while Anila is still a young and beautiful young woman, and then, in less than ten years In a few years, they will pass away forever, if Anila falls in love with them, then she will have to bear the pain of her lover's death, until she also dies, that feeling will always be with her." Glorfindel said lightly Said, "But fortunately, at least she escaped the pain through death, unlike us elves, if you fall in love with a mortal, you will be lonely forever after decades."

"..."

"Therefore, Anila had better find a well-matched Numenoran who is her age and lifespan to be her life partner. In this way, it will be the best result for her and others. Elrond De and I, and I think even His Majesty Thranduil, will be happy about it." Glorfindel looked at Legolas, "What do you think, Legolas?"

Legolas stared blankly at Glorfindel, he opened his mouth with difficulty, but didn't know what to say.
