Chapter 300: The Footsteps of the Young 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 was located in the northernmost part of the Anduin Valley and close to two mountains.

To the north of the ruins are the Grey Mountains, within which is 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. 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 destroyed.

Afterwards, the dwarves moved to the Lonely Mountain and established a Kingdom Under the Mountain. This new kingdom was led by Thror, one of the descendants of Dain I and Thorin's grandfather, who was also the first King Under the Mountain.

Then the northern humans built Dale at the foot of the Lonely Mountain, encountered the fire dragon Smaug, and so on until today.

Looking at the construction teams working hard in the ruined city, Levi came up with 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 the city of Flams at the end of the mountains.

A new line of defense was established here, and the Orcs in Mount Gundabad found it increasingly difficult to move, and they could only continue to retreat into the mountains. 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.

Thus, as the expansion progressed, the gaps in the valley between the Woodland Kingdom and Gundabad Hills were completely filled.

Following the construction of the northern dales, the southern dales of Anduin were not neglected either.

At the end of the same year, the Carr Town Construction Team went to the Golden Iris Marsh, 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 it.

From then on, the swamp was under surveillance.

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

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

"How is Thorongil doing?"

"Oh, that young man."

"He was very brave and courageous on the battlefield," said Thingir, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes. "Many times he drove the people of Dunlending beyond the borders, and once they were attacked by Orcs, he killed twenty of them alone. You may ask Theoden whether this is true. They fought side by side."

"Yes, uncle."

At this time, Theoden came up and greeted Levi.

At this moment, Theoden was still very young, not even thirty years old, at the most energetic age, and looked very "high-spirited".

He is currently serving as the Grand Marshal of Rohan - in fact, every heir to Rohan will first be trained 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 as king, but he was really a little different. He ran away from home as soon as he became an adult, which led to the position of Grand Marshal falling into the hands of someone else.

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

This sentence made Theoden feel depressed.

"Eleven. Maybe my skills are still a little lacking."

“Not bad.”

Levi patted his shoulder encouragingly.

"You are already a qualified warrior."

Theoden straightened his chest and regained his spirit.

"Oh, wait, show me 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, and when the amulet touched him, the elements in the staff began to decrease, and the amulet gradually became brighter as the elements in the staff decreased.

After a while, it was filled up and radiated its luster again.

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

Levi returns the amulet to Theoden.

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

Levi continued to ask: "Where is Solongil? I don't think I saw him."

"He left."

Senger answered for Theoden: "The war has not been so intense in recent years. Perhaps he wants to take a break."

rest?

Levi smiled and didn't say much.

Aragorn is not a man who can rest in comfort. At this time, he is most likely going to Gondor, and maybe there will be an old man in a gray robe with him.

Ecthelion would welcome Gandalf, and the two would have much to talk about.

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

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

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

Levi was silent for a moment, then said tactfully: "No, if there is a chance, I will teach you how to make delicious food next time."

"That's a shame."

Senger seemed a little lonely.

"Father, you are interested in this?"

A voice lit up his eyes.

Theoden said curiously, "I have never heard you mention this, nor have I ever seen you enter the kitchens."

"My dear son, I really didn't say that. I saw curiosity in your eyes. Remember to come home for dinner tonight. I will prepare a sumptuous dinner."

Theoden nodded, becoming more and more expectant.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

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

I hope Theoden 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 Senger for a while and then left, heading straight for Gondor.

As they headed east along the North-South Avenue and passed by the small island that they had visited together a few years ago, Levi looked up and found that it had been completely rebuilt.

The waves hit the high city walls, creating a pile of white foam. Teams of soldiers were standing guard on top with serious expressions.

It seems that Gondor has developed well in recent years.

At dusk that day, Levi stepped into the White City.

As soon as he entered the gate, he was attracted by the noisy noise. He saw that the surrounding residents all looked happy and excited.

"what happens?"

Levi randomly found someone to talk to, and then caused another exclamation.

"Is it really you, my lord? Oh, forgive me, we were discussing the great victory and triumph of the Pelargir fleet recently."

"oh?"

Levi showed an interested look and sat on the steps by the roadside to chat with the resident for a while.

It turned out that Gondor had recently taken the initiative to assemble a fleet to go to Umbar to attack the pirates. The result was very encouraging. A large number of Umbar's ships were burned and a port commander was killed.

As for Gondor's fleet, the losses were minimal, almost non-existent.

"I see. This is truly a successful battle. We deserve to celebrate."

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

But it doesn't matter.

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

"Oh, you mean Thorongil."

Eccelion smiled when he mentioned this man.

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

"As you know, I have been strengthening the defenses of Pelargir and the river for many years. Thorongil thought the same as I did. We both agreed that the pirates in the south were a great threat to Gondor."

"It was Thorongil who proposed the attack on Umbar some time ago. I allowed it and appointed him as the commander."

"I have to say that his plans and actions were indeed very bold. If he had attacked directly, the battle would have been quite intense, but he took advantage of the night to gather a small team and launch a surprise attack. He unexpectedly burned a large number of pirate ships, and he also killed the port commander of Umbar himself."

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

"Now Umbar will be in chaos for a while."

"Yes," Eccelion agreed.

"This incident can be regarded as Gondor's greatest military achievement in recent years."

"What a pity..."

"What a pity?"

"Unfortunately, Thorongil did not return with the fleet, nor did he return to Minas Tirith to receive his reward. He simply left."

Levi said helplessly: "It seems that I am a step late again."

This kid can really run. Can't he just be quiet for a while?

Who did you learn this from?
