Chapter 1210 The Shock of the Lonely Mountain Conference
The nights in Rivendell are very peaceful, and the food is so pure that one can't pick out the slightest flaw...or meaty.
Baggins and Anyang are not those carnivores who don’t like meat. A few days ago, they had delicacies from mountains and seas every day, but the vegetarian food they ate in Rivendell made them feel light and delicious. After all, this was not the last hurried march in harsh conditions.
Even though the diet of the elves in Rivendell is simple, even with Anyang's eyes, there is no fault. A cabbage leaf is like jade, and the vegetables are like white jade, which is really rare.
Even in the Silver Moon Empire, the ingredients for the military and political ministers of the Silver Moon Castle cannot reach this level.
After dinner, Baggins lay on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning for a long time.
The room and the night are only separated by a window. Turning over, you can see the bright moon hanging high on the top of the cliff. The moonlight also leaves a square light and shadow on the floor through the window. There is no animal roar outside, and there is no hustle and bustle of traffic in the world that Baggins does not know. At most, there are only birdsong and ethereal music coming from nowhere. If you don't listen carefully, you can hardly hear it. Even if you hear it, you will only feel it. quieter.
But for some reason, he just couldn't sleep.
"It must be that the bed is too hard." Baggins said while lying on the bed alone, his eyes staring at the ground.
For a while, the figures of Sorin, Balin and others flashed in his mind, and for a while he flashed the stone giants he had seen at the mountain pass, and suddenly he remembered that day when he just left the Lonely Mountain, he looked back and saw the Bigu. The mountain is still a stalwart figure. But he was thinking more about the battle under the lonely mountain, and the dark shadow he saw on the wasteland outside the green leafy forest.
Elrond, the lord of Rivendell, has taken his men to the Lonely Mountain to attend the meeting. He obviously took a different path. Anyang and Baggins did not meet him on the way. They were received at Rivendell by one of Elrond's henchmen, Dosya.
He felt Dusya's concern at dinner, but who wasn't worried about this? It was a catastrophe!
Dusiya repeatedly asked Anyang for confirmation, repeatedly asked Anyang how to deal with those monsters, and repeatedly asked Anyang for help. But Anyang's answer was always just a few words, which Baggins had heard many times along the way.
Because of these questions he has asked many times.
Those monsters seemed to be unstoppable, not only from Anyang's attitude, but also the intermittent news from the Woodland Kingdom seemed to confirm this.
Baggins didn't know when he fell asleep, maybe not too late, maybe until midnight. He was in good spirits when he woke up in the morning, probably because he took a hot bath last night. When he got dressed and came to the restaurant, Dusiya and Anyang were already sitting at the dining table waiting for him.
They were talking in a low voice. In order not to disturb them, Baggins did not say hello, and gently pulled out the chair and sat down at the dining table.
"When do you expect those monsters to attack Middle-earth?" Dusya asked.
"Their reconnaissance forces have repeatedly invaded the Leafy Forest and Lonely Mountains, and their main force is fighting your old enemies in Gundaba Mountains, perhaps the word slaughter is more appropriate. The Orcs of Gundaba will be at the latest in a week's time. Completely perished, within half a month, they will definitely launch an attack on Middle-earth." Anyang said in a deep voice.
"You've been following them?"
"Yes, I never stop watching them."
"Then we have to deal with the soul of the Dark Lord within this period of time. I heard that you said you would do it yourself?"
"Yes, I will kill Sauron."
"I take the liberty to ask, when will you take action... I mean, what kind of help can our elves in Rivendell provide you?" Dusiya asked.
"After a while, Sauron is nothing. He recently heard that I would take action against him, and he has already hid. But he can't hide forever, he will come out soon, and I will take action as soon as he emerges. Clean him up, he doesn't know I've been watching him." Anyang said.
"I see." Dusiya nodded.
He had also heard the rumors in the territory recently, and he couldn't help but wonder if this great god wanted to wait for the rumors to spread throughout the Middle-earth and then kill Sauron's soul in one fell swoop to complete the confirmation in the rumors. But now it seems that he is completely narrow-minded. Judging from the contact between yesterday and now, this god is gentle and kind, wise and powerful, and there is absolutely no need to do such a thing. In the future, it is best for me to try to avoid this kind of conjecture of using the heart of a villain to control the belly of a gentleman...
After breakfast, Anyang and Baggins set off.
The Lonely Mountain Conference was also held at the same time. The participants included representatives of the major forces in Middle-earth, and few were absent.
In the largest conference hall of the Iruba Kingdom, the long blackstone table was full of people, and everyone looked ugly, looking at a huge corpse on the table.
Looking at this hideous monster, which was obviously a strange creature, the little doubt they had in their hearts when they sat on the stone chair was completely dissipated. The general from the Kingdom of Gondor had mocked Thranduil for being too much of a fuss before, but when this one was brought to the table by the elf, he didn't dare to say a word.
Sorin glanced at the crowd, and said solemnly: "Up to now, the Woodland Kingdom has been attacked by these monsters four times. Because Ilubai is in the lonely mountain, there are natural dangers to the city gate, so only the sentries in the castle corridor are there. Was attacked once a night. They attacked silently, my men barely resisted, and it wasn't until the middle of the night that someone noticed the bloodstains in the corridors and the corroded ground, which we later found on the Miracle Prairie. We've seen them, but we sent cavalry, but we couldn't catch them at all."
"They are investigating?" King Elrond frowned.
"It looks like this at the moment." Thorin said solemnly, and then slammed the table to silence the noisy six dwarves, looking at Thranduil, "Let King Thranduil speak."
Thranduil looked more solemn than the others, but his face was still covered in frost. Although everyone in Middle-earth considers the elves of the Woodland Kingdom to be the least wise of all elves, and far more dangerous and warlike than other elves, the word peace-loving seems to have nothing to do with them, but they still have their graces, also have their pride.
It was not until the banquet was completely quiet that he said lightly: "Our Woodland Kingdom has experienced the most these days, and we have the most say, so please don't make trouble."
"Accurately, we were only attacked by those monsters once, the next three were fighting them, and we even tracked them once. Basically I can confirm a few things: the two monsters we encountered were among these giant insects. scouts; no kingdom can stand up to them when they invade; these two worms are not very intelligent."
At this moment, a dwarf interjected: "What, is King Thranduil scared by a few big bugs?"
"Big bug!" Thranduil was suddenly angry, and stood up with a slap on the table, "We paid almost ten casualties before and after to kill the two big bugs in your mouth, you can try its feet. Can your limbs pierce through your armor and your body, and see how deep your axe can cut through it! Dwarves! Or do you think we should hide behind the castle gates like our allies in the Lonely Mountain?"
"you!"
"Shut up Danslow!"
Thorin immediately stopped the dwarf representative from the Hardbeard clan, and said bluntly: "I know that some clans came to the Lonely Mountain later, and many things are unclear, but let me explain first, if there are dwarves who dare to dare It's rude, I think I can finish this meeting on behalf of all the dwarven clans alone!"
This time, the dwarves felt the anger of the king, and did not dare to say a word.
Lady Galadriel of Lothlorian stood up and personally touched the sharp legs and carapace of the giant insect before she said solemnly, "This is a natural killing machine."
The general of Gondor also had a gloomy face, and then asked: "The matter of these monsters is clear, so what about the great god you mentioned in your letter? Why is he not here? And where is Gandalf the wizard in gray. ? I heard he took part in the Battle of the Lonely Mountain."
"He is gone," said Thorin. "Gandalf is gone too, and he goes to find the other guardians."
"I think I have some explanations for this, and you may be interested." Thranduil said indifferently, then turned his head and gestured to the guard behind him, who immediately walked out.
General Gondor smiled and said, "Why, when did the woodland elves change their beliefs?"
"The Woodland Elves never wanted to betray the gods and Iluvatar they once believed in, but the situation forced some of my people to do so." Thranduil looked at the stout general coldly, "Many of my people Wounded while dealing with those giant worms, the gods and Iluvatar ignored my people, my people didn't even know where they were. You can't imagine a young elf with an immortal life on the verge of dying How desperately trying to grab a life-saving straw! But I don't think it will take long, you will experience that feeling."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend." The human general bowed his head sincerely and apologized, and said, "But I seem to hear something from your words. Do you think Ain can take care of you and be your life-saving straw? "
At this time, Thranduil's guards brought in a fully armed female elf.
"This is the guard I brought this time. Her name is Luya. A few days ago, she was seriously injured when she killed the giant insect in front of you. Her entire abdomen was pierced by one of its legs. All of us They all think she can't live anymore." Thranduil said lightly.
The crowd opened their mouths wide, looking at this innocent female Sinda elf, their faces full of amazement.
"She...she not only survived, but is completely healed? In just a few days."
"In fact, I haven't fully recovered, and there are still scars left, but I can move. Considering some of my special abilities, my majesty brought me here. If necessary, I can participate in the battle against these bugs." Luya said, bowing her head and reciting reverently, "My God is with me."
Luya walked around outside the gate of hell, and experienced the pain of being seriously injured, the weakness of her body gradually losing warmth and strength, the fear of gradually losing her consciousness, and the warmth of the light shining on her body... She felt I heard God's reply, blessings and such cordial condolences, felt the power of God, felt that I was healed little by little, and now I have long since become a devout believer in Anyang.
This god is different from other gods. He is the only one who can touch and shine on the world.
Luya thought so.
Elrond glanced around her and asked, "What are your special abilities?"
"When I call my god's name, he will hear my voice, he will give me god's blessing, and my hand will emit white light, so that those giant insects will not dare to approach." Luya said, "This is God's promise of protection and blessing to us, He did not deceive us, nor is it empty words."
"Can you show it?" Galadriel said.
"Sorry, my lord, this is a blasphemy against God, and I cannot use his power for such a fearless show."
"I just want your persuasion..." Before Galadriel could finish speaking, a woodland elf guard walked in quickly and interrupted her.
"Your Majesty!" He bowed to Thranduil and saluted, "Our scouts in Gondaba found something unusual."
"Say!"
"Since last night, Gangdaba Mountain has been resounding through the roar of the orcs and a kind of hissing, like the sound of giant insects, until midnight! We sent people to investigate this morning, but we saw a large number of giant insects in the distance. Hunting orcs who escaped from the underground city," said the guard.
As soon as the words fell, everyone took a deep breath.
Then a little kingfisher flew in from the window and landed on Elrond's shoulders, chirping.
Elrond's expression became solemn, and he said: "There is news from Rivendell that the god and the hobbit arrived at Rivendell last night and were repaired overnight. He said this morning that the giant worm is slaughtering half of Gundaba. With the remaining power of the orcs, the half-orcs will be wiped out in Gundaba in at most a week, and then the giant insect army will attack Middle-earth within half a month! And... the letter said that these monsters are likely to adopt multi-line invasion methods. !"
"Damn!" Someone whispered immediately.
"Do these monsters think we have absolutely no power to fight back! Wait! I'll make them look good!"
...
At the same time, Anyang's avatar was controlling the queen to give orders to the mother nest, and used her own abilities to make the mother nest in an overloaded state.
Because he wants to cause overall tension in Middle-earth, he must adopt a multi-line invasion method. This method is actually not suitable for the giant Zerg that relies on the breeding of the mother's nest, so he must continue to squeeze the production capacity of the mother's nest to make it rapidly violent. Soldiers can enter multiple battlefields.
And he must give priority to the mother nest to produce fast enough Zerg to ensure the high-speed attack ability.
There are also a lot of flying giant insects with certain transportation capabilities to ensure that the results of the giant insects fighting in the distance can be transported back to the mother nest, and turned into nutrients for the mother nest to continue the violent army.
And these must be completed within half a month.
This is the goal he set for himself.
As for nutrients... The goblins of Gundaba can barely support this period of time, and no matter how bad it is, there are the goblins under the mountain pass, and his synthetic nutrients, which can always support the mother nest to complete this period of time. of stressful tasks.
