Middle-earth Raiders Full Plan

Nataki spent a peaceful night, but when the sky was just getting dark, a guard rushed into the Governor's Palace, shouting: "My lord—"

Anila woke up suddenly, jumped up from the sofa chair, and the thin blanket covered by something slipped to the ground: "What's the matter? The Dunlanders are calling?"

"no……"

"Are Edoras' cavalry coming?"

"no……"

"What's the matter?" Anila slumped back on the chair weakly, rubbing her aching temples from lack of sleep.

"My lord, he is back and wants to enter the city."

"Let him go." Anila blurted out, she was annoyed!

Legolas looked at her in surprise.

"Cough!" Anila knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, and coughed lightly in embarrassment, "Well, what I mean is, didn't I say that no one is allowed to come in or out now? Let him go."

"But he was accompanied by two Numenor rangers. They said that only the king has the right to appoint and remove Nataki lords. It is treasonous for us to do so." They brought it up to Edoras..."

"Don't talk about Edoras, even if the whole of Rohan and the whole of Middle-earth heard about it, I have nothing to feel guilty about! Don't worry, His Majesty Sejel will not blame you too much after learning the truth. Yes, even if the sky really falls, I will stand up for you.” Anila stood up and walked outside angrily, “I would like to see which two Numenor rangers speak for that trash, It’s really embarrassing for me to stand and talk without backache!”

Legolas didn't follow. He didn't think that Anila had said anything wrong, and he was quite confident in Anila's abilities—especially the verbal skills. It would take less than an hour, Anila It can make those people speechless, and run away like a lost dog with its tail between its legs.

Legolas thought so, and he even thoughtfully poured Anila a glass of boiling water, just in time for her to drink when she came back with a dry mouth.

But Anila came back sooner than Legolas imagined, and with a smile on her face, the steward and the two rangers of Númenor also came back with her.

Legolas had no idea what was going on.

The manager's face was ashen, and his head was downcast. Anila didn't drive him out of the city this time, but locked him up first.

As for the other two men, they were very typical rangers of Numenor, with handsome faces, tall stature, shaggy dark brown hair, and eagle-like gray eyes.Among them, the younger one, about the same age as Anila, was in a trance, and seemed to be more out of his mind than the manager. The other one, who was slightly older, pursed his lips, but there was still a gloating smile in his eyes. meaning.

"A low-level misunderstanding," Anila said briskly to Legolas, who was surprised to see a look on her face he had never seen before.

Although Anila is generally very cheerful and lively in her daily relationship with her, she loves to laugh, and she looks good when she smiles, but she is rarely so happy that she is in high spirits, full of joy, her usual More than half of her poise was lost, just like the burden of the secret Legolas in her heart who didn't know what it was suddenly lightened, she was just a innocent girl who didn't know what it was like to feel sad, her pupils cut water, and she smiled. Ruhua, it's rare to have such a little daughter's coquettish attitude.

Ah no, speaking of it, Legolas has actually seen Anila like this before.

Even when they met for the first time in the dark forest, Anila looked back at him almost like this, smiling sweetly and tenderly.

Later, Legolas took Anila to see Thranduil, had another unpleasant conversation with her in the dungeon, and he never saw Anila face anyone again. Show that look.

"Let me introduce." Anila couldn't help but patted the young ranger's shoulder, "This is my younger brother Estel. He shouted outside without fully understanding the situation just now. He is also young and energetic."

"You really scared me to death, Vidi, I thought..." Aragorn covered his face in helplessness and embarrassment, "But you and I were born on the same day, right?"

"This is my friend Nairo, or the elder brother, the teacher? Anyway, that's what happened. He has been a ranger for a long time than Estelle and I have taught us a lot. An enlightened ranger." Anila ignored Aragorn's protest and continued, "Before, I traveled everywhere with the two of them."

Legolas felt rather subtle.For a long time, it seemed to be a matter of course that only he and Anila walked together. There is no doubt that Anila is Legolas' best friend now, and Legolas has always considered himself to be the best friend. Anila's best friend (or maybe there's something else? Legolas refuses to think about it), and now the presence of Aragorn and Nero - especially Nero - is likely to turn this "most" Being "one of them", Legolas found it difficult to be happy about it, but considering Anila's character, it's strange that she has no friends, right?

"This is Legolas, son of Thranduil." Anila walked to Legolas and introduced them.

These two obviously don't know who Thranduil is. Nero seemed a little surprised when he heard Legolas' identity at first, but he quickly regained his composure, and there was even some interest in his expression , Wei Wei nodded to Legolas as a greeting.And Aragorn's expression was much more peculiar. He frowned slightly, and looked Legolas carefully from head to toe, but that look didn't look like the observation of meeting for the first time, but rather confirmation, as if he didn't believe in the world. There are actually some elves who grow up like this in the world.

After a long while, he looked at Anila, with a touch of surprise in his tone of helplessness: "You actually let you find—"

Anila suddenly shoved the water glass on the table into Aragorn's hand, and the boiling water in it splashed on Aragorn's fingers, causing him to gasp in pain, and couldn't finish speaking.

"Are you thirsty? Drink some water." Anila said, with a tone that did not allow the slightest rebuttal.

Aragorn rolled his eyes secretly.

"But why did His Highness the Prince of Mirkwood come to Rohan with you, Velodis?" Nero asked, and he looked at Legolas, with sharpness hidden in his seemingly friendly eyes, Legolas couldn't help but frowned. He lowered his eyebrows.

"Originally Legolas asked me to help him find—" Anila paused, "It's Strider and Iluli's."

Aragorn and Nero were stunned, and subconsciously blurted out: "But——"

"However, Legolas is one of the most kind and honest elves I have ever met. When I said that I wanted to come to Rohan first to help control the epidemic, he agreed without hesitation." Anila He quickly interrupted them, "So the search for those two will be postponed."

Aragorn and Nero looked at each other, both of them looked WTF, but they were very understanding and didn't tell the truth.

But Legolas is not blind, so he naturally sensed the trick, but before he could ask, a melodious horn sounded from the direction of the city gate——

Edoras' hussars arrive.

When General Galma came back with reinforcements, he was taken aback by the tense but orderly appearance in the city. He knew who Nataki's chief steward was, and he had been working for the city after learning that Nataki's former city lord had died of an illness. Unexpectedly, when he came back, he found that everything was arranged in an orderly manner. He was wondering if the manager had changed his personality?I saw three men and one woman coming out of the governor's mansion, all of them imposing and extraordinary.

"Your Excellency must be Lord Galma?" The only woman among the four of them took a step forward with a smile, her aura was no less than that of the three big men, "My companions and I learned that Rohan was up After experiencing the plague, I came here on purpose, thinking that it would be good to be able to help even a little bit, and I happened to pass by Nataki, because I felt that the way the acting city lord handled the matter was a bit inappropriate, so I couldn't help but make some ideas on my own , I’ll apologize to you here first.”

Although she had a smile on her face, her eyes shone with a frightening light. After looking at her for a few seconds, Galma couldn't help lowering his head. When he realized his actions, he felt ashamed again. I was annoyed again, but felt that it should be taken for granted.

"It's really unbelievable. When I entered the city, I had already heard about the actions of several of you. I should thank you." He replied solemnly and politely, "I don't know where you are from? How should you call them?"

Anila looked at Galma, and after confirming that this person was reliable, she put away her scrutiny eyes and showed a genuinely gentle and polite smile: "This elf came all the way from Mirkwood, as for us, we all come from the north." The tribe of Dúnedain..."

After making the simplest basic introduction, the two quickly got down to business. They really don't have time to be courteous. According to the news from the sentries ahead, the Dunlanders have entered the territory of Rohan and are expected to arrive tonight. Nataki.King Sejel of Rohan had great expectations for Galmar and allocated him a full two thousand cavalry, hoping that he could cut off the Dunlanders' invasion at Nataki.

In fact, the final result did not disappoint him. The people of Dunland thought that Rohan, who was ravaged by the plague, would not have the energy to resist them, so they underestimated the enemy. A beloved leader like Mara, a strategic commander like Anila and Aragorn, fierce generals like Legolas and Nero, not to mention a horseshoe stomping at the same time, even Orthanc Tower would be shocked There are two thousand elite hussars in the three shocks. If they can't win the Dunlanders, Anila probably really has to consider going back to Rivendell to rebuild.

After the victory of the war, Anila and the others didn't plan to stay any longer. After a two-day rest, they packed their bags and prepared to leave, but Galma suddenly found them and told them one thing——

"I told His Majesty Sejal about you, and he wants to see you."

Sejer specially hosted a banquet and personally received Anila and the four of them. Of course, it was not just because they helped Rohan regardless of safety or helped Rohan win a big battle. Sejer In any case, Er is also the monarch of a small country, with a lot of things to do every day, and Anila and the others are just a few rangers—Legolas did not reveal his identity, and Anila and Aragorn certainly would not say— ——The meritorious service made by Li is by no means so great that the king must personally reward it. The reason why Sejer is willing to do this is not difficult to guess, and he is just thirsty for talents.

When the current hussar king of Rohan, Sejel, came to the throne six years ago, his fatuous father, Fan Zheer, left him nothing but an unmanageable mess, although Sejel was a very wise and benevolent king. Over the years, he has been dedicated to the development of Rohan, but now he still feels that there are not enough competent people at hand.

Although the outcome of the great victory against the Dunlanders was not beyond Sejel's expectations, he was still very pleasantly surprised when Galmar presented the battle report - Rohan's casualties and losses were less than half of what he expected!In the battle report, Galmar mentioned several northern rangers intentionally or unintentionally and praised them without reservation, which undoubtedly aroused Sejel's interest.

When he saw the real people of these mysterious rangers, Sejel's eyes lit up even more, and the only trace of doubt in his heart disappeared.

Regarding Sejel's obvious intention to recruit them, Anila kept smiling, not revealing half of her true thoughts, while Aragorn really thought about it seriously, and then he raised his eyes to Anila, the two After each person met a meaningful look, they tacitly understood each other.As for Legolas, he is not interested in Sejel's words at all. Anyway, he listens to Anila, and he will go wherever Anila goes, although he doesn't think that Anila will stay...

Nero obviously had the same thoughts as Legolas. When Sejel finally asked clearly, "Would you like to stay in Rohan to assist me", he smiled officially and politely, and said to Sejel: "Thank you very much for your sincere heart, but—"

"Since His Majesty Sejel is so sincere and sincere, I have the nerve to let you down. If Your Majesty does not despise my meager efforts, I will naturally be willing to do my best for you." Anila preempted replied.

Nero was shocked, and looked at Anila suddenly: "Velodys, you..."

Sejel was overjoyed, he had a vicious vision, and he had already seen which of the four people was the most effective in speaking. He dared to bet that as long as this woman stayed, at least two of the three men would stay too.

The final result couldn't have made him more satisfied: all four of them agreed to stay.

Of course, not all four were willing to stay.

"Velodys, why did you agree to stay?" As soon as he left Edoras' palace, Nero couldn't wait to ask Anila, "Do you think that what you promised was a small thing? You nodded It's too rash!"

"I know what I did, and of course I thought it through," Anila replied.

"Ha! Then I hope you can give me a reason to convince me!"

"I agree to stay and serve His Majesty Sejel of Rohan, naturally, because he is a monarch worthy of support. Marching and fighting under his command will definitely effectively fight against the evil forces in the east."

"But haven't we been going back and forth to fight against the orcs in the past? We have also won many battles, so why do we have to fight against the darkness as Rohan cavalry?"

"But I can't just be a ranger all my life, that's not my destiny, Nero!"

"Why is it impossible?! I know that rangers are always active in secret, and their reputation is not very good, and they don't have as much honor and glory as those generals and soldiers, but you can't deny the significance of what we have done because of this. !Compared to the soldiers who have to obey the orders of their superiors, we have more freedom and space, and that is the most important thing, I thought you loved freedom more than fame, Velodis!"

"Okay, Nero, let's talk less, Vidi also has his own difficulties." Aragorn couldn't stand it anymore, and spoke for Anila.

"What are your difficulties? Can't you even tell me?"

"Unless you feel that I can have other identities besides ranger, I won't tell you a word." Anila replied angrily.

The atmosphere became tense in an instant, and the surroundings seemed to be completely quiet for a while, only Anila and Nero confronted each other.

"You know I don't doubt your ability, Velodis." After a long while, Nero took the lead to look away and rubbed his untidy hair in annoyance, "If you want, you should be able to Do anything, but I think the unfettered life is what you want most, don't you?"

Anila lowered her eyes: "That's right."

"Then why do you force yourself to give up your original freedom and accept a life you don't like so much?"

"There are some things I can't stop doing just because I don't like them." Anila replied softly, "I know you, Nero, you are the kind of true ranger who was born to travel and travel to all corners of the world. You disdain gold, silver and jewels, and fame, wealth and glory can't keep you here. Letting you be an ordinary soldier is really wronging you. If you regret it, go back to the north. I will help you with His Majesty Sejal. explain."

In the end, Nero sighed heavily, and instead of arguing with Anila, he turned to Legolas: "Why did you stay, Your Highness? Can a dignified prince bear to work under other people's hands?" ?”

Legolas gave him a cold look, and asked him, "Why not?"

Now that Anila has decided to stay, is there any problem with him following his friend through thick and thin with her?Does the prince have to be always aloof, honorable and unbearable?

"But didn't you originally intend to find the siblings of Iluli and Godwalker?" Nero raised his eyebrows, "Although I guess you probably can't find them, the thoughts and whereabouts of those two people are really unknown. Hard to guess."

Anila touched her nose in embarrassment: "Legolas, I—"

"It's okay." Before Anila could apologize, Legolas interrupted her, shrugging his shoulders pretending to be relaxed, "Probably I just don't have a relationship with those two."

Anila and Aragorn glanced at each other in secret, and Anila was about to cry.

No matter what thoughts each of the four people had, they did stay in Rohan in the end. Of course, no matter how much Sejel admired these people, he couldn't just let them be generals and marshals, Anila Relying on Nataki's little combat exploits, he got into a position equivalent to the squad leader. Except for Aragorn, Legolas, and Nero, he still managed less than ten people.

There is no distinction between men and women in Rohan, and they are all brave and good at fighting, but that seems to have happened a long time ago. Now there are fewer and fewer women in Rohan's army, and Anila's less than ten people are more or less Everyone in the world expressed some discomfort at the fact that the person leading them was a woman, some were contemptuous, some were resentful, and some were skeptical...

However, within three days, they all shut up. After seven days, they admired Anila. After one month, they felt that they were lucky to have such an officer. After half a year...

My boss is the best boss in the world!Playful, considerate, unrestrained and beautiful!Neither squeamish nor a problem mom!Simply perfect!I would like to follow her forever!Those who speak ill of her stand up!See how I use my fists to teach you how to be a man!

In the second year of Rohan, Anila and the others went to fight near the Misty Mountains, and one night they were stationed at the edge of Fangorn Forest on the way.

Legolas was excited by the smell of the forest he hadn't seen for a long time. As an elf, he didn't need much sleep, so he simply got up and planned to go for a walk.

Aragorn was watching the night outside, smoking a pipe, looking at the stars in the sky, and seemed to be humming some tune softly. Legolas listened carefully and realized it was an elf song "Lucien and Beren". .

Estel and Velodis are indeed brothers and sisters, they are both so familiar with and fascinated by elf culture, Legolas thought.

After getting along with these two Numan rangers for nearly a year, Legolas really fell in love with them, especially Aragorn, who had a charming trait similar to Anila but different, It also attracts other people to follow involuntarily, but compared with Anila, Aragorn's temperament is more restrained and deep, so his light will always be overshadowed by Anila, but this may also be Aragon Gong intentionally used this to highlight Anila. In any case, he is indeed a truly trustworthy companion. As long as you get to know him a little bit, you will find that his noble qualities are not inferior to Anila.

"What are you thinking, Estel?" Legolas walked to Aragorn, took a deep breath of the cool and fresh night air, and asked softly.

"You walk so lightly, I didn't even notice you." Aragorn sighed, but Legolas suspected that this was just coaxing him deliberately, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. "What are you thinking about? I'm thinking too much. I'm thinking of the unreachable star, she is hanging above my head, and no matter how much I stand on tiptoe and stretch my arms, the distance between us is still Miles."

Legolas smiled: "Why do you want to reach the stars, Estelle? Like now, you can bask in her brilliance and look up at her beauty, isn't that enough?"

"Yes, she is so beautiful, so dazzling, it seems that everyone can get her love." Aragorn sighed, "But I am selfish, greedy and insatiable, I want to have that star, her light , her love, everything about her belongs to me alone.”

Legolas gradually heard the smell: Estel was probably in love with some girl he couldn't ask for.

"In this case, then go to climb the branch of the tallest tree at the top of the highest mountain that is closest to the starry sky. Even if you still can't reach her, every step you take will bring you closer to her. Do you know if the stars will be touched by you and fall into your arms?" Legolas said half-jokingly.

"Ah, on this point, I'm afraid I'll never be as firm and fearless as Vidi." Aragorn took another puff of cigarette, "I envied her for this when we were very young, She seems to always know what she wants, never lost, never shaken, and can give everything for it... But even so, it seems that the star she wants has not been lost for her What does it mean to come down?"
