Chapter 503 Conflict of Ideas

"Drucci, start gathering!"

"Spear and shield (Elven proverb)!"

Accompanied by waves of earth-shaking war cries coming from the black-armored army in front of them, nearly 100,000 Nagarond black guards began to carry various weapons and march northward towards the East-West Avenue.

The steel giants as huge as mountains also began to walk onto the road one after another. Every time they took a step, they would leave a deep hole in the ground, forcing them to use a separate passage.

Dong~dong~dong~

The church on the steel giants was constantly shaking with the movement of the giants. The silver rune bell seemed to have some indescribable magic power, making Galadriel feel that her brain became particularly clear at this moment. .

I saw Galadriel silently leaning on the golden vine carriage with a pair of delicate jade hands. She watched the war beasts with different characteristics in front of her galloping on the plains in trance. She couldn't help but sigh:

"This feeling of being bathed in the blood of war is like being on the battlefield of the First Era, full of the glory and splendor of the elves. It is really a wonderful but cruel memory..."

"Lady Galadriel, I think we may need to stay out of the way for a while. This army seems to be coming towards us along the North-South Road."

The relatively weak Elrond naturally did not have the leisure time of Galadriel. Although he was born in the First Era, the Noldor elves at that time had already begun to enter a trough.

In contrast, he felt that he should be more worried about how to deal with such a huge army!

As the holder of the Air Ring of the Three Elven Rings, he is also a mage with unpredictable strength. Otherwise, it would be impossible to protect Rivendell for thousands of years with only flowers and beautiful scenery.

If this army of elves dares to cross the Xiangshui River to attack Rivendell, then his water magic can easily drown them all!

But even so, how should we deal with giants who are nearly ten meters tall?

Empty, empty, empty...

The entire earth seemed to be shaken by the uniform footsteps, and even those who were watching from the other side of the hill seemed to be able to feel this terrifying march like a natural disaster.

Compared to Elrond, who had a look of anxiety on his face, Galadriel's exquisite face showed no trace of worry at all, but remained as calm and calm as usual.

After experiencing the great chaos of gods at the level of the 'War of Wrath', there were few military appearances in the world that could move her as a light elf.

Although the style of this army looked more like the evil forces from Melkor, Galadriel did not take these elves from the unknown world to heart.

Even a Maia god of Sauron's level would not dare to make trouble in front of him before recovering his form, let alone these elven armies who seemed to her to be as childish and harmless as children?

Perhaps the only thing among this powerful elf army that could catch her attention was the figure in the sky that was as dazzling as the sun:

"That must be Lord Rohan, the current lord of Eregion. It seems that Gandalf's evaluation of him is really right. This power is indeed as warm and dangerous as the sun."

There was a hint of appreciation in Galadriel's beautiful eyes. She still knew very little about Rohan, and this appreciation was only because of this warmth.

When Rohan and Archaon died together for the final time, the violent energy impact directly caused flaws in Rohan's Claw of the Holy Glory, which was made of star fragments, eventually causing the star's power to leak out.

Logically speaking, the damage to the Claw of the Holy Glory will be a huge blow to Rohan's strength, but the reality is full of all kinds of coincidences:

Flare's soul and the power of the star were eventually discovered by a common passerby, Ilúvatar, so during the subsequent treatment of Rohan, they were easily integrated into one, allowing Flare to master the power of the sun.

As the landlord, Rohan is naturally a blessing in disguise and can use part of this powerful power of light during the soul fusion!

Seeing that Galadriel seemed to admire Rohan quite a lot, Elrond on the side could not help but stepped forward with some worry and advised:

"Lady Galadriel..."

"There is no need to worry, Lord Elrond. I can feel that this rising little sun is not hostile to us. Maybe it won't be long before he comes down to explain all this to us."

As Rohan, who was exuding holy light in the sky, was slowly taking back his breath, Galadriel also secretly took back her finger holding the ring of water, and at the same time secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

She is not afraid of fighting. Although the strength of Rohan, who studied under Lord Golden Flower, has surpassed that of ordinary Maiya, it is not enough for her to go all out.

If the other party really dares to show any hostility to Rivendell, she will kill his apprentice even if she abandons Glorfindel's affection!

"Ma'am, he's here."

Elrond placed his palm on the hilt of the sword, his eyes tightly locked on Rohan who was flying in mid-air, his eyes full of alertness.

With such a large army suddenly appearing at the doorstep, how could he, as the lord of Rivendell, continue to be kind to the instigator of all this?

He even suspected that the next meeting might not end well!

"Good afternoon, Lord Elrond of Rivendell. If you came to check on my troops because they were marching, then I am sorry that my behavior has caused disturbance to your life."

However, to his expectation, Rohan did not show even a trace of hostility. Instead, he bowed politely and behaved like an elegant gentleman.

Seeing this situation, Elrond could not continue to treat him coldly. He could only frown and ask politely in a not too kind tone:

"Lord Rohan of Eregion, although you are not a Noldor Elf, I still hope that you would say hello to us before making such a large-scale military deployment in the future.

After all, since Rivendell gained a group of neighbors, the border has never been able to maintain the tranquility it once was, and I had to send my daughter to the Golden Forest for foster care for her safety. "

"I see. Please forgive my rashness. After all, my next plan will not be hidden from Rivendell, so I think Lord Elrond still intends to know my plan."

There was a look of sudden realization on Rohan's face. He pretended not to notice Galadriel next to him, but rather familiarly took out a map and came to Elrond's side to explain: "The thing is, since the last time Gandalf came to Eregion to tell me about Archaon... that is, my mortal enemy is gathering strength, I have been looking for ways to annihilate the enemy.

At this time, I formed a military alliance with a group of dwarves. They will go with me to the Lonely Mountain to slay the dragon and keep vigilance against my enemies. The reward is that they occupy the Lonely Mountain. "

Rohan patiently pointed out all his plans on the map, and his candid statement made the elves present stunned.

But in fact, Rohan knew that his future war with Archaon would be inseparable from the support of these native Noldor elves, so he spent so much time introducing his detailed plan.

As for whether this plan may be leaked?

Oh, he also hopes that this plan will be known to Archaon as soon as possible, because Archaon's character is actually quite similar to Rohan, that is, he always takes revenge and rarely stays overnight.

If his main force really appears on the road to Lonely Mountain, it is impossible for Archaon to just sit idly by and ignore it, and is very likely to come looking for him!

As for the possibility of Archaon coming to steal the house?

Haha, not to mention that Eregian itself has no strategic value to Rohan. The greatest significance of its existence is just to help Rohan stockpile various materials and people needed for the war.

What's more, even if Archaon really dares to come, the First Guards Corps stationed in Eregion is not a vegetarian!

By then, the war will be more than just a battle of five armies...

However, Elrond was not so easy to deal with. The Lord of Rivendell was looking at the map in Rohan's hand with a frown on his face, and then said in a noncommittal voice:

"In return for occupying the Lonely Mountain... Dear Lord Rohan, if I remember correctly, Thorin Oakenshield and his expedition team are already on their way to the Lonely Mountain right now, right?"

Facing Elrond's question, Rohan just rolled up the map in his hand nonchalantly, and then pretended to think and said:

"Hmm, but I don't think thirteen dwarves and one hobbit can defeat a dragon, let alone where to defend?

I know my enemy, Archaon. He is a powerful demigod with ruthless methods. Besides, I haven’t seen him for many years. His strength must have improved by leaps and bounds, right? "

Rohan would not be stupid enough to believe that the majestic Eternal Chosen One would achieve nothing in a few years after being reminded by Ilúvatar. That would be too stupid.

Ever since Gandalf told him that Archaon was involved with Mordor and the Dongyi people, his mind gradually began to exaggerate how powerful Archaon was now:

His strength has been so strong so far, so Archaon's strength will probably be even more terrifying, and it may even be much stronger than his fused form with Flare;

The number of Orcs in Mordor and Dol Guldur has been rising rapidly over the years. Even if the scale of tens of thousands in the Battle of Five Armies is multiplied by ten, there may be hundreds of thousands;

The Dongyi people have always been known for their large numbers. According to various information that Rohan has reviewed, Dongyi people with more than 100,000 people have invaded Gondor dozens of times. Let's calculate it in millions!

In terms of war beasts, the giant mammoths of the Dongyi people are simply comparable to giants, and the countless vampire bats and ferocious beasts of Mordor dominate the sky, and their strength should not be underestimated!

Without considering logistical supplies and whether Archaon could actually rule these armies, Rohan directly used the worst-case scenario to predict that Archaon's power would still grow to a terrifying level.

If such an unreasonable idea can be realized, then the number of troops Archaon can mobilize is at least dozens of times that of Rohan, or even more than a hundred times...

Because of this, Lonely Mountain's defensive location suddenly became particularly important, and this also caused Rohan to have no concern for the development and changes of the original plot, and could only concentrate on fighting Archaon.

But obviously, Elrond cannot understand the conflict between Rohan and Archaon, not to mention Gandalf's warning first, he will inevitably think too much:

"You claim that you have formed an alliance with a group of dwarves. Are they the dwarves in the Blue Mountains? Or is this just another excuse for you to try to occupy the treasure of the Lonely Mountain?"

"Don't say it so harshly, Lord Elrond. Since you have said this, can I understand that Rivendell is ready to face Mordor and Archaon alone?"

"Mordor? Now that Sauron has long gone, we have lived in peace for nearly six hundred years. Are you going to embezzle the wealth that belongs to the dwarves because of an unidentified threat?"

Since the first meeting was not very friendly, Elrond's words now inevitably have a hint of anger, and it is obvious that he does not fully agree with Rohan's remarks.

This is indeed the case. Both elves and humans have been in peace for a long time, not to mention that the future is supposed to belong to the human era.

Now that a lord like Rohan suddenly appeared and led a large elven army to Arda, it was inevitable that there would be differences in ideas.

Faced with such remarks, Rohan, who was not usually docile, was also a little angry. He spread his wings and pointed without any scruples, and then sneered:

"Hoho~ In fact, I'm a little angry. Sir and madam, maybe you should turn around and take a closer look at my army. I am sincerely prepared to return all these wealth to the dwarves!"

These are all contents that have been expressly written into the contract. Even if it is out of friendship with the Dwarf High King, Rohan will faithfully follow the contract and hand over all the wealth that originally belonged to the dwarves to the dwarves.

However, did anyone stipulate that he must hand over the Lonely Mountain and its wealth to the Turin dwarves?

Lord Baylor is currently running towards the Lonely Mountain on his short legs in his team. If necessary, he can call him to testify at any time!

Suddenly, the atmosphere between the two elf lords who had different ideas gradually became tense. Even some cold lizard fear knights in the distance noticed something strange here and began to surround them.

The five-meter-long giant horned cold lizard, the heavy armor covering its body can not only effectively resist the arrows of elves, but its sharp teeth can also tear elven horses and wargs to pieces!

If a conflict really breaks out, although Rohan cannot do anything to Elrond immediately, he has the courage to let him taste the pain of losing all his men!
