The Journey of the Infinite Wizard

Chapter 966: The Crisis of Lothlorien

After Gandalf left the Woodland Kingdom, he immediately went south to the Enaid region, which was the main conflict between humans and elves this time. The humans living there had a fierce conflict with the elves for various reasons. And this conflict has already ended.

It's time to start a war.

In fact, humans have been inhabiting the Enaid region for a long time. During the First and Early Second Era, the forest resources in the Enaid region were lush. Ever since the Númenóreans came, they began to cut down trees on a large scale. For a long time,

In the past, the surface of the earth was greatly destroyed. It is difficult to see the original large forest resources anymore, which led the humans here to start to look at Lothlorien, because there is still a vast forest there.

In the beginning, humans went to the forests where the elves lived to cut trees, which aroused dissatisfaction from the elves. Humans’ logging was not just for making fire and heating. They had a strong demand for forest resources, including building houses.

A series of events require wood resources. And

In the Enaid region, after a long period of deforestation, forest resources have long been scarce. The elves and Lothlorien are countries built in the forest, and due to Veliavana, the elves have many buildings.

It is built with huge rocks. They respect the forest very much and will not deforestation indiscriminately.

But compared with them, humans obviously do not have this awareness. Especially as the human population gradually increases, the demand for timber resources becomes increasingly strong. However, large areas of Enaid already lack sufficient forest resources.

, so they began to enter Lothlorien and cut down trees without notifying the elves.

At the beginning, Galadriel and the elves living in Lothlorien did not pay much attention to the human behavior of cutting down wood. They just thought that this was something that humans must do in life, so they never paid attention to it.

. However, when they discovered that humans were cutting down wood more and more, and that it was no longer just used to satisfy their daily needs, this aroused the unanimous dissatisfaction of all the elves, including Galadriel. So, the elves chose to expel these people.

Human beings who are deforestation and obviously acting excessively.

However, the humans ignored the elves' bans and warnings. They came to Lothlorien again at intervals and continued their logging business. The number of people became more and more numerous every time. In the end, Galadriel, who could not bear it, used the three elves to

The power of Nanya, the Water Ring, one of the rings, surrounded Lothlorien with magic, and used the power of the Ring to interfere with humans entering Lothlorien.

Humans who cannot approach Lothlorien are naturally dissatisfied with the behavior of the elves. They continue to form groups and continue to go to Lothlorien, but because of the power of the Ring of Water, it is difficult for humans to go deep into Lothlorien as they did in the past. They

Continuously scolding the elves loudly and engaging in various insulting behaviors in the outside world, the elves, who could not bear it anymore, resolutely expelled this group of humans once again.

However, these regional humans did not form a country or even a city-state. They were primitive and backward, scattered throughout Enaid in the form of villages. They were not considered middle-level humans, nor were they friends and distant relatives of the Eden people.

They belong to the 'dark humans' and are enemies and aliens. They are more

A human country with a mature civilization was obviously barbaric and bloody. They also advocated using force to solve all problems, so the expelled humans began to arm themselves. Even though their equipment was extremely crude and their civilization was very primitive, their numbers were larger than

There are many more elves.

Even though the three tribes suffered heavy losses after the Battle of Valinor, the population ratio dropped to the lowest peak in history. When the three tribes returned to Middle-earth one after another after the Battle of Valinor, after so many years of recuperation, humans and dwarves had already recovered their strength.

And the population has grown to varying degrees. But for

Compared with the elves, they still have not recovered their strength, and their population has not increased much. The low reproductive capacity makes the elves stronger than the humans and dwarves, but they face an absolute disadvantage in terms of population. Lothlorien regretfully

In conflicts with humans, they are at an absolute disadvantage.

Although the population of humans living in the Enaid region is not larger than any other region on earth. However, in the vast and sparsely populated Middle-earth continent, the humans in the Enaid region can definitely be called

Strong enough. Even if their civilization is very low, their population advantage is enough to make up for some problems. Moreover, after the conflict with Lothlorien, these primitive and barbaric dark humans temporarily united. They sent

People go to the northwest and go to the south to find the human kingdom there to buy weapons.

And Gondor and Rohan don’t know what their purpose is. They not only sold a large number of weapons to the Ened humans, but also gave away a batch of military supplies. And the dark humans with sophisticated weapons, even if their civilization is very low

, but they have the confidence to go to war with the elves. Again

Coupled with their huge population, this is one of the reasons that makes Lothlorien feel extremely uneasy. In addition, Lothlorien is very close to the human kingdoms of Rohan and Gondor. Once these two human countries join

, then Lothlorien will definitely not be their opponent.

Therefore, Galadriel, who was worried about the war, took a small number of guards to the woodland kingdom, which also belonged to the elven branch, to ask for help. Although the population of the three major elven kingdoms was also not as large as that of humans. However, the unity of the three elven forces

Enough to cope with the immediate crisis. However, Galadriel

However, he did not expect that Thranduil, the lord of the Woodland Kingdom, would ignore the friendship between the elves and refuse to send troops to help. In desperation, Galadriel could only go to Rivendell for help, although she lost one ally.

But if Rivendell is added, then their chances of winning will be great.

And Gandalf, with such a sense of urgency, went south after trying to persuade Thranduil to no avail. He wanted to prevent this war that should not have happened. To prevent humans and elves from excessive fighting and accumulating hatred.

, thereby delaying the future plan to fight Sauron. However, Gan, who hurried south,

Dolph was disappointed. This group of savage dark humans ignored his well-intentioned persuasion. They were primitive and stubborn, and believed that force could solve all problems. They expelled Gandalf and ignored Gandalf's persuasion.

Once, he gathered men to prepare for the invasion of Lothlorien.

When Gandalf saw what had happened, he gave up persuading this group of humans because he found that even with Maia's eloquence and wisdom, it was impossible to reason with a group of dark humans with low civilization. Therefore, the angry Gandalf replied.

When you arrive in Lothlorien, take the time to tell Galadriel the news and ask her to notify Elrond in Rivendell to prepare to jointly deal with the threat to humanity.

After Galadriel found out, she immediately arranged for people to go to Rivendell to inform Elrond. At the same time, she told the residents of Lothlorien to seize the time to prepare for the war. As a result, the weapons warehouse was opened, and pieces of fine weapons and armor were taken out.

At the same time, the stove

A raging fire was ignited, and the outstanding craftsmen of the elves began to forge weapons, armor, and arrow clusters. At the same time, Galadriel organized rangers to patrol around the borders of Lothlorien day and night, and immediately reported any large-scale human figures.

.

As the war-related orders were passed quickly, the entire Lothlorien immediately became tense. The elves also felt the imminence of the war, but this time they were not fighting against the orcs under Sauron, but against the former

allies of humanity desperate

. Because their homeland is facing annihilation. The barbaric, rude, and low-civilized humans in the Enaid region like to cut down trees too much. Like the Númenóreans, they ruined the forests in the Enaid region. Now

He began to set his sights on them.

While all the elves were indignant, there was a sense of sadness deep in their hearts. When did the elves begin to decline to this point? They were actually forced by a group of barbaric humans with almost no civilization to the point where the entire elves united.

?

The elves are thinking and reminiscing, but most of them are angry!
