Chapter 161 Conditions for Expedition

Everyone's discussion this time didn't last long, and they all stopped unexpectedly.

Then, Qi Qi turned his attention to Carl.

They reacted at this moment and knew who was most suitable to be the main force.

To say here, whose army is the strongest and whose army's dominance is the most convincing, it is only the soldiers of the Green Kingdom.

And if the soldiers of Green Kingdom are willing to go out to attack Mordor, then the possibility of success will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced.

No one would doubt the strength of the soldiers of the Green Kingdom.

The cavalry of the Green Kingdom, who often roamed the borders of Mordor, had already used their dazzling record to prove their presence to everyone.

They are known to be fiercer and more aggressive than the soldiers of all forces present.

Carl saw everyone's reaction, and he knew it in his heart, but he couldn't deny it. With a smile on his face, he said:

"If you want the soldiers of the Green Kingdom to be the main force, I can agree, but there is one condition."

The people present looked at Carl and frowned when they saw that he didn't look like a joke.

They didn't expect that, at this critical moment, Carl had to talk to them about conditions.

Gandalf couldn't help but tug at Carl and whispered:

"Carl, don't make it difficult for everyone, now the strong orcs are our common enemy, everyone is struggling to resist, and people are sacrificed every day."

Gandalf thought that Carl's greed for money had awakened again, and he wanted to take advantage of the fire, so he couldn't help but worry.

He himself can condone Carl's bad character, but he is afraid that other people will not have such good tolerance.

Elrond on the side was also a little unhappy.

He had just listened to Carl's suggestion, and his impression of Carl had changed, but the good feeling that had just risen now fell again with Carl's words.

Looking at this scene, he couldn't help but think of the king of people who was deceived by the Supreme Ring – Isildur.

Isildur was also so powerful, but he, in the end, caused their defeat.

Perhaps, the willpower of human beings is so fragile that it is always easily deceived by various external things, thus losing their minds and becoming crazy.

Elrond felt that Carl was the same person.

Now, in order to protect Middle-earth from the invasion and destruction of the strong orcs, he is willing to temporarily give up his plan to go west, and let the elves of Rivendell stay behind to support the dwarves and humans.

And Carl, as a part of human beings, now has to make demands on them? How can such selfish behavior make him happy?

Carl ignored the emotions of the crowd, and ignored the eyes of Gandalf and Elrond, and said slowly:

"My only request is that if Mordor is captured, then that land will belong to the Kingdom of Green."

Does he want that dark place? Everyone was startled again.

"This is my condition, so, what do you think?" Carl said lightly.

Of course, in fact, Carl himself had no interest in things like land.

Although he loves money, his realm is already different now, and there is not much demand for it.

What he is doing now is just a better plan for a longer-term future.

History has already proved that the blood flow events caused by the uneven distribution of resources are not in the minority.

If the army they led really defeated the strong orcs.

So, this piece of land that has no ownership, will no one really be tempted by it?

Maybe not, but that's only what happens under perfect ideals.

In fact, ideals do not exist, and Carl does not believe in perfection.

Any force, kingdom, region, or even between people, will always follow a principle, that is – there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests.

When the benefits are big enough, no one can resist the temptation.

When the common enemy disappears, then, in the face of Mordor, such a land full of magic, will no one be tempted?

The answer is self-evident.

Therefore, instead of pinning hopes on ideals, it is better to start with reality.

Carl's request now is just to cut off some unnecessary troubles in advance.

"Carl, are you really that confident that you can take Mordor?"

While Gandalf was surprised by Carl's request, he was also a little worried about Carl's self-confidence.

"Of course, I believe that the soldiers of the Green Kingdom will not fail." Carl nodded.

As for whether he could win against Sauron's army, Carl never worried.

The worst ending, in fact, there can only be one, and some existences are bound to retire.

And the liberation of Middle-earth from the darkness is already doomed.

Seeing that Carl was so confident, everyone was discussing again.

Mordor is now said to be a barren place, which is a little flattering.

Under the destruction of the strong orcs, it has already become riddled with holes.

There are scorched rocks all over the place, the trees have long been burned clean, and countless pits and mines have been dug out on the ground, so bad that it is almost impossible to live in.

And such a piece of land, in the eyes of the people of Middle-earth, does not have the slightest temptation.

That being the case, as the ruling King Green wanted it, so why would they give it?

It didn't take long for everyone to agree and agree to Carl's so-called conditions.

This condition is really nothing to them.

Although Gandalf and Elrond were also a little strange, they didn't know what Carl wanted the land to do, but seeing that Carl didn't want to take this opportunity to make money, the original emotions in their hearts disappeared.

When the meeting was over, the coalition's plan had been laid out.
