The Woodland Kingdom is located in the northeastern corner of the Dark Forest.
Originally inhabited by a group of wood elves, they differed from the so-called High Elves in that they themselves or their ancestors had never been to the western Valinor.
The elves who have been to Valinor, seen the splendor of the Twin Sacred Trees, and lived in Vera's territory, have become more beautiful, wiser, more knowledgeable, and more powerful, and some have even studied with Vera, invented their own magic, and know many techniques, and their descendants will also inherit their powerful genes.
The Wood Elves are a group of firstborn elves or their descendants who gave up leaving Middle-earth and did not go to Valinor, they are not as wise as the High Elves, and they are more warlike, of course, they are still kind.
The king of the woodlands, Thranduy, is a Sindar elf, a descendant of the High Elves, and his father Orifer chose to stay in Middle-earth after the angry war, crossed Eridron with his family, and finally settled in the dark forest, where the wood elves elected him to become the leader, so there was a woodland kingdom.
The elves of the woodland kingdom inhabit the forest, and they can often be seen on the ground or on the branches, while King Thrandui resides in a large cave palace.
The palace has countless exits leading in all directions, and it also goes deep underground, with plenty of tunnels and halls, but it is bright and clean compared to the orcs living in it.
At this time, Thrandui Igao sat on the throne, and a Wood Elf guard below him reported to him the destruction of the town of Long Lake by Smaug.
"You said that the current Smaug is more than two hundred meters long?
More than twice as powerful?
” Thranduy was shocked by the destruction of Long Lake, but he was more concerned about the information about Smaug and immediately questioned.
He had seen Smaug many times, including the one sixty years ago when the other party had come out to forage for food, and although he had observed it from afar, he was sure that Smaug definitely did not have such exaggerated size and strength.
How can there be such a big change in just sixty years?
"Are you sure you read that right?"
Thranduil's heart was full of suspicion, and he continued to ask.
The guard who reported said with a serious expression: "I confirm that I am not mistaken. ” "Keep an eye on the mountains, and if Smaug reappears, let me know immediately."
"Also, send someone to search for the survivors of Long Lake, and if there is any, provide some material help, and then inquire about the information." ” "Yes."
The guards retreated.
Thranduil sat back on his throne and fell into a long silence.
He knew that Thorin had obtained the Arkan Treasure Diamond, and that the dwarves' dragon slaying might soon break out, and he was ready to send troops, because the mountains also had the treasure he wanted, the white gem that sparkled with pure starlight.
For this reason, he even planned to start a blitzkrieg war after the dwarves succeeded in slaying the dragon and suffered heavy losses.
And the precondition for this plan was that Smaug would die, as prophesied.
Thranduil's heart suddenly became restless, and it felt as if something had happened that he didn't know about, causing the future to change, and the prophecy might no longer be accurate.
He had heard that Galadriel had a mirror that could show many different things, even the past, present, and future.
However, his woodland kingdom has little contact with Roslorian, and the relationship is only average, and if he dares to visit, the other party may not let him look in the mirror.
Thranduil pondered, hesitated, and did not know how long it took, when a call woke him up, and he found that his son Legolas had returned, and was standing in front of him, and beside Legolas stood Taureel, who had left the forest in defiance of his orders.
He was very unhappy in his heart, but he did not lose his temper very gracefully, according to his previous orders, Tao Lie'er had been expelled from the woodland kingdom by him, and now that he had been found by Legolas, he didn't have to think about it, he knew that his son must have come to intercede for Tao Lie'er.
To Thranduil's surprise, however, Legolas was talking about Smaug.
When he heard that Smaug had gone to Gombadashan and slaughtered all the orcs on the expedition, his brow furrowed deeply, and his face became extremely solemn.
In addition, the information about Smaug's body shape that he cared about was finally confirmed, and the guards who reported it earlier were not wrong at all, everything was true.
It was his son who had brought the news, so Thranduy had no doubt about the veracity of the information, but even so, he found it hard to imagine how it was possible for Smaug to nearly double in size after only sixty years of not appearing.
He asked himself, if the orc army of Gangbada attacked his woodland kingdom, even if they relied on the palace to defend it, they would not be able to resist it, but such an army was easily defeated and wiped out by Smaug, you can imagine how terrible Smaug is now.
Can the Dwarven Seven deal with such a powerful Smaug?
Thranduil was deeply suspicious, and a bad feeling grew stronger in his heart.
Just as he was pondering whether to proceed according to plan, the guards who had left before returned in a panic and shouted, "Oh no, Lord King, Smaug is coming to us. ” "What?!"
Frightened, Thranduy stood up and commanded loudly, "Prepare for war!"
” Legolas and Toriel also changed their faces, and after glancing at each other, they turned and ran towards the palace gate.
Roar!
At that moment, an earth-shattering roar came from outside the palace gate, and the sound echoed through the cavern, causing the whole palace to shake slightly.
Smaug is really coming!
Thranduil's heart was panicked, even a little desperate.
The guards in the palace were already panicking, and although they were lining up to meet the enemy, each elf did not have any hope in their hearts.
As for what was going on outside, he didn't know yet, but just then, Smaug's voice rang out again: "Thranduy, come out to me, or I'll set fire to your palace." ” A hint of anger flashed across Thranduil's face, but at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief, listening to Smaug's meaning, it didn't seem like he was bringing about war, otherwise with the personality of the other party, he would have attacked a long time ago.
Then Legolas quickly returned, and said, "Smaug is outside the palace gates, it has not attacked, and I have seen Queen Galadriel. ” Thrandui snorted, then thought for a moment, "Let's go, then go meet Smaug." ” A large number of guards gathered around him, and he assumed the guard of honor expected of the king of the woodlands, and led Legolas out of the palace. ps: Amway, a movie "I Am Not the God of Medicine"
