Chapter 267 Round Table Meeting (Update 1)
When George walked on the streets of the Elf City, any elves who met him would stop and salute him.
The light elves in the Elf City now were either the elves in the Canyon War or the elves in the Elf City Defense War. They all witnessed George's contribution to the war with their own eyes and knew that if it weren't for George, they might have died.
So in their hearts, they were very grateful and respected George.
George was also the only human in this era who could make the elves salute him when they met.
Even among the elves, only the princes had such treatment.
After walking for a while, he came to the meeting hall of the Elf City. Just when he was refining dragon crystals, an elf came to inform him that the three princes invited him to the meeting hall for a meeting.
"Sorry, I'm late!"
George walked into the hall and took a glance. He found that in addition to the three princes and Bregolas and Barahir, there was another elf he didn't know.
The elf was taller than the three princes, and George could feel that the energy contained in his body might exceed the sum of the three princes.
"It's not too late, we haven't started yet.
George, let me introduce you, this is my cousin Fingon."
Prince Finrod introduced to George.
"Brave Fingon, the next High King of the Elf!"
George immediately knew the origin of the elf in front of him, who was a famous figure in the history of the elves.
Back then, Fëanor's family burned the ships and abandoned the families of his two younger brothers, led the tribe to seek revenge on Morgoth and was killed, and his eldest son Maedhros inherited the throne of the Noldor.
But not long after, because he was deceived by Morgoth's oath to actively exchange the Silmarils, he was captured by Morgoth and was hung on a cliff in Thangorodrim and tortured for thirty solar years.
His six younger brothers did not dare to rescue him because of Morgoth's strength.
Fingolp and Finrod, the two groups of elves, were also unwilling to take action because of the previous burning of Fëanor's ships.
But Fingolpan's eldest son Fingon had a very good relationship with Maedhros in Valinor, so he went to Angband alone and rescued Maedhros.
In order to thank Fingon for saving his life, Maedhros gave the throne of the High King of the Noldor to Fingolpan, Fingon's father, despite the opposition of his six younger brothers.
Later, after Fingolpan was killed in a duel with Morgoth, Fingon inherited the throne of the High King.
After becoming the High Queen, she united all the elves and humans and repeatedly repelled the army of Morgoth. In the end, she was surrounded and killed by a large number of Balrogs and orcs led by the Balrog King, and died of exhaustion.
"This is the Ewen George I just mentioned. If it weren't for his help, I'm afraid that Galadriel would be the only one left in our group of elves."
After introducing Fingon, Finrod introduced George to Finrod, his tone full of gratitude.
Fingon looked at George, his eyes full of appreciation and gratitude.
"George, thank you for helping the Noldor elves. We Noldor elves will always remember this kindness!"
When his uncle Fëanor burned the ship, his father Fingolpan took them and these cousins across the northwest death glacier and went through hardships to reach the Middle-earth.
So the relationship between the two branches is very good, just like brothers and sisters.
After all, they all have the same grandfather and grandmother, while Fëanor's grandfather is the same, but the grandmother is not the same.
(Fëanor and his two brothers are half-sisters, and Fëanor's mother died after he was born.)
George saved Finrod's branch, just like saving his own brother, and also helped to defend the central defense line, so that the Morgoth army did not attack the west from front and back.
This is a great favor to the entire elf race.
George naturally responded to this in the same humble way as before, and did not immediately use the favor to seek the magic of the elves.
Because he already had a better idea.
In this way, after some courtesy, everyone sat at the round table and began to discuss the next situation.
George just listened and didn't go forward to talk. He was not a military strategist. It was only because he knew some historical plots that he helped the elves gain some advantages in the previous war.
Now because of his intervention, the entire historical process has changed, and his experience is naturally useless.
About two hours later, everyone finally discussed a general result.
First of all, they did not plan to gather troops to support the east.
The eastern defense line has completely collapsed. The army of Morgoth has entered the central continent. The six princes evacuated southward, and the eldest prince could only retreat to the castle. It would be useless for them to concentrate their forces to go there.
If the defense line has not collapsed, they can go there to support and repel the enemy, and the seven sons of Fëanor will continue to garrison. If they go there now, they will only be attacked by the dark army from Angband and Middle-earth.
The key is that if Morgoth sends a large army to attack the west and the middle again while they go to the east to support, it will be even worse.
Secondly, they are ready to strengthen the defense lines in the middle and the west to prevent Morgoth from launching a second attack again.
Finrod will go back and mobilize all the elves to help guard the elven city of his second and third brothers. Bregolas and Barahir also plan to find humans scattered around and live together in the elven city.
At the beginning of the First Age, humans appeared in the easternmost part of Middle-earth. Among them, three human tribes chose to explore and migrate to the west. Their Beor family was just one of them.
There are two other families, the Haladin family and the Malach family, which have much more people than the Beor family.
Although the three families live in different places, they have always been in contact.
In this way, the troops in the middle are enough to build a solid defense line, and Morgoth can hold it even if he gathers the remnants of the west and the middle to attack together.
In the canyon, Fingon is going to visit Gondolin, the secret kingdom established by his brother Turgon near the canyon, and let Gondolin send an elf army to garrison.
His brother Turgon likes to travel very much. When he was traveling along the Sirion River, he was inspired by the sea god Ulmo in his dream and established the Kingdom of Gondolin in a very secret place near the canyon.
I don’t know if the elves in the Kingdom of Gondolin were blessed by the sea god. In just a few hundred years, they have grown to a number comparable to that of their father Fingolpan’s kingdom.
With the number of troops in Gondolin, it is enough to defend that canyon.
And the west is naturally safer with the most powerful Fingolpan guarding it.
Finally, regarding the army led by the Firelord that rushed into the heart of Middle-earth and wreaked havoc everywhere, Finrod said that he would personally go to the Grey Elves Kingdom to ask Thingol to help wipe them out.
As for why Finrod could ask Thingol?
It was because this branch of his was actually related to Thingol.
