Chapter 834: Counterstrike
Glorfindel returned ier, cold and a rotten environment for at least 10 days before he could catch up, but he forgot that all Elves were clean freaks There was just no way Glorfindel could rest in that kind of environment
Glorfindel forced hiht until he walked out of the territory of Lake Salgar He then slept for a whole day before rushi+ng back
He was in such a hurry, not because he could predict that Melody would seduce away a large number of Elves froolas and Galadriel would seize the opportunity of Elrond's death to persuade the stronger Elders in Rivendell to leave
He knew that's what Galadriel and Legolas would do because if he was in their shoes, he would do the sa of Air, Vilya had protected Rivendell for millenia As soon as the Elves found out that they had lost Vilya, it would becoe crisis But chaos is a ladder; the crisis would present a great opportunity to rope in so personnel
Glorfindel was not prepared at all for the Twilight Elf called Melody Sunstrider to stick her nose into the power struggle Iine his surprise when he returned to a half-deserted Rivendell which was in a complete mess!
Glorfindel had always been a sharp one He was right about Legolas and Galadriel
Legolas and Galadriel did come to Rivendell 3 days after Melody left
Both of the the pursuit of the Nazgûl Naturally, they chose to return to Rivendell to recuperate At the sa back news of Elrond's
death to shake up Rivendell, in order to secretly pull some people to their side
When they returned to Rivendell, they were shocked to discover a city that was half-deserted and enveloped in a distressed at around, they found out that Melody had done the exact things they wanted to do, and she did it hly than they would have!
Since soo with the flow and do it too Legolas and Galadriel hadn't actually planned to go all out before because they're both famous people within the Elven race If they poached too boldly, it would be hard to explain themselves to Glorfindel
But it didn't o now because Glorfindel's nuet would definitely be Melody, who not only started the poaching, but had even ransacked the place Knowing this, Legolas and Galadriel executed their plans without restraint!
Can you iine the Rivendell that Glorfindel returned to? First, Melody lead away half the population and took with her more than 4/5 of the wealth and resources in the city
Next, it was Galadriel and Legolas' turn They didn't pillage the place for resources, but their words persuaded another batch of Elves - about a quarter of those ere left - to leave Rivendell Above all, the Elves that they persuaded were elites in various fields!
In conclusion, the Rivendell inherited by Glorfindel only had about 1/3 of its original population, 1/5 of its original wealth, and 30 of its elite fighting force rery and exhausted Glorfindel blacked out and al for soer pointed at a trusted confidant of his and he said
”Why did you let that wretched follower of Sin'dorei incite the crowd, and did nothing when they ransack the place?”
The Elven Elder helplessly replied
