Chapter 300 The footsteps of the younger generation

The plan was finalized, authorized by the highest level, and the project was established. The construction team and the escort team quickly arrived at the ruins of Flamsburg, which is close to two mountains in the northernmost part of the Anduin Valley.

To the north of this ruin is the Grey Mountains, in which there is also a destroyed dwarf gathering place - Dain's Hall.

Of course, this Dain is not the Dain of the Iron Hills. This Dain is Thorin's great-grandfather - Dain I, and the Ironfoot Dain of the Iron Hills is 'Dain II'.

Five hundred years ago, Dain I led the dwarves of Durin's clan to live here. Later, he was killed by a dragon in front of the door of his hall, and then this gathering place was also destroyed.

After that, the dwarves moved to the Lonely Mountain and established a kingdom under the mountain. This new kingdom was led by one of Dain I's descendants, Thorin's grandfather 'Throel', who was also the first king under the mountain.

Then the northerners established the city of Dale at the foot of the Lonely Mountain, encountered the fire dragon Smaug, and then until today.

Looking at the construction team working hard in the ruined city, Levi had some ideas.

Maybe we can also recapture the lost dwarf gathering place when we have time.

The new project is progressing smoothly.

In 2972, the town of Karl, located in the middle of the Sky Road, expanded northward all the way to the ruins of Flams City at the end of the mountains.

A new line of defense was established here, and the actions of the Orcs in Gundabad Mountain became more and more difficult. They could only continue to shrink into the mountains, and the evil creatures entrenched in the ruins of Dain I's Hall also had a bad premonition, as if a disaster was about to happen.

In this way, as the expansion progressed, the gap in the valley between the Woodland Kingdom and Gundabad Mountain was completely filled.

Following the construction of the northern valley, the southern part of the Anduin Valley was not ignored.

At the end of the same year, the construction team of Karl Town went to the Golden Iris Swamp, which was the place where Isildur was attacked, Gollum picked up the ring, and Saruman picked up the Star of Elendil.

They built an outpost here and sent people to garrison.

From then on, this swamp was also under surveillance.

After dealing with the things here, in 2973, Levi went all the way south, arrived at the North Plateau of Rohan through the North Bridge, and walked along the Vold Road all the way to the capital of Rohan, and met Senger.

It was of course happy to meet old friends, but in addition to reminiscing about the past, Levi was also curious about some other things.

"How is Thorongil recently?"

"Oh, that young man."

Senger showed a look of reminiscence and said, "He was quite brave and bold on the battlefield. Several times, the people of Dunlending were driven out of the border by the team he led, and there were also those Orcs who didn't know where they came from. Once they were attacked by Orcs, he killed twenty Orcs alone. You can ask Theoden about the authenticity of this. They fought side by side."

"Yes, uncle."

At this time, Theoden on the side came forward and greeted Levi.

At this moment, Theoden is still very young, not yet thirty, and is at his most energetic. He looks like he is full of energy.

He is currently serving as the Grand Marshal of Rohan - in fact, every heir to Rohan will first gain experience in this position before succeeding to the throne. This is an inherent position of the heir to the throne.

Senger should have been the Grand Marshal first and then succeeded to the throne, but he was really a bit different. He ran away from home as soon as he became an adult, which led to the position of Grand Marshal falling to someone else.

"What about you, Theoden?" Levi asked casually.

This sentence directly made Theoden wilted.

"Eleven, maybe my skills are still a little lacking."

"Not bad."

Levi patted his shoulder to encourage him.

"Already a qualified warrior."

Theoden straightened his chest and regained his spirit.

"Oh, wait a minute, let me see that."

Levi pointed to his chest.

Theoden looked down, paused for a moment, and took out the amulet from under his clothes.

Levi reached out to take it. When the amulet touched him, the elements in the staff began to decrease, and the amulet gradually became brighter as the elements of the staff decreased.

After a while, it was filled and radiated again.

"It looks like it suffered a little damage in the previous battle, but it's fine now."

Levi returned the amulet to Theoden.

Theoden looked at the amulet, which had obviously become much brighter, nodded, and kept it well.

Levi continued to ask: "Where is Thorongil? I don't think he has seen him."

"He left."

Senger answered for Theoden: "The war in recent years has not been so intense, maybe he also plans to rest for a while."

Rest?

Levi smiled and didn't say much.

Aragorn is not a person who can rest comfortably. At this time, he is most likely to go to Gondor, and there may be an old man in a gray robe with him.

Eccelion welcomes Gandalf very much, and the two of them will have a lot to talk about.

"Well, I'm going to go somewhere else and visit other old friends."

"Wouldn't you stay in Rohan for a while?" Senger tried to persuade him to stay.

"Recently, I've been busy, so I learned a few dishes and was thinking of trying to make them myself."

Levi was silent for a while, and said tactfully:

"No, if there's a chance, I'll teach you how to make delicious food next time."

"That's a shame."

Sengel seemed a little lonely.

"Father, so you are interested in this?"

A voice lit up his eyes.

Théoden said curiously: "I have never heard you mention this matter, and I have never seen you enter the kitchen."

"My good son, I did not say that. I see curiosity in your eyes. Remember to go home for dinner tonight. I will prepare a sumptuous dinner."

Théoden nodded, looking forward to it more and more.

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

Levi hesitated to speak, but finally decided not to disturb the rare moment of family reunion between father and son.

I hope Théoden can still smile like this next time I see him.

As Levi said, he did not stay in Rohan for too long. He chatted with Sengel for a while and reminisced about old times before leaving and heading straight to Gondor.

When heading east along the North-South Avenue and passing by the small island that several people had inspected together a few years ago, Levi looked up and found that the place had been completely rebuilt.

The waves lapped against the high city wall, creating a pile of white foam. Soldiers stood guard on it one after another, with serious expressions.

It seems that Gondor has developed well in recent years.

At dusk that day, Li Wei entered the White City.

As soon as he entered the gate, he was attracted by the noisy movement. He saw that the surrounding residents were all beaming and looked very excited.

"what happens?"

Levi randomly talked to someone, and then there was another exclamation.

"Is it really you, my lord, oh, excuse me, we are discussing the recent great victories and triumphs of the Pelargir fleet."

"oh?"

Levi looked interested and sat on the roadside steps to chat with the resident for a while.

It turns out that Gondor recently took the initiative to assemble a fleet to Umbar to attack the pirates. The results were very gratifying. A large number of Umbar's ships were burned and a port commander was lost.

As for the Gondor fleet, the losses were minimal, almost nothing.

"It turns out that it was a successful battle and worthy of celebration."

Although I know what happened, some details are still unclear.

But it doesn't matter.

When he met Ecthelion, he also mentioned this matter to Livy.

"Oh, you mean Thorongil."

Ecthelion smiled at the mention of this man.

"This young man is quite intelligent and farsighted. I have always regarded him as one of my most important advisers."

"You also know that I have been strengthening the defenses of Pelagir and the river many years ago. Thorongil thinks the same as me. We agree that the pirates in the south are a huge threat to Gondor."

"The attack on Umbar some time ago was proposed by Thorongil. I allowed it and appointed him as commander-in-chief."

"I have to say that his plans and actions were indeed very bold. If he had attacked directly, the battle situation would have been more anxious. However, he took advantage of the darkness to gather a small team in advance and directly launched a surprise attack, and unexpectedly burned a large number of pirates. The ship and the port commander of Umbar were also killed by him."

Levi nodded, not surprised by Aragorn's amazing record.

"Umbar is going to be in trouble for a while now."

"Yes." Ecthelion agreed.

"This incident can be regarded as Gondor's biggest victory in recent years."

"It's a pity..."

"It's a pity?"

"It's a pity that Thorongil did not return with the fleet in triumph, nor did he return to Minas Tirith to receive his reward. He left directly."

Levi said somewhat helplessly: "It seems I'm a step too late again."

This kid, if he can really run, can't just sit still for a little while.

Who did you learn this from?
