All this starts with the "War in Middle-earth" 3,000 years ago.
According to the analysis of "The Lord of the Rings" (2), in order to resolve the hostility between various species, Sauron presented his newly developed Lord of the Rings to the three major power elves, gnomes and humans at that time to show friendship. , why did these three species not only disrespect, but instead joined forces to destroy Sauron? This is not unrelated to the elves' gossip and sow discord.
In Middle-earth, the elves belong to the "superior race" with high technology: the elves are immortal (immortal), technologically advanced (wisest), and fairest (fairest). The main weapon of the elven warriors is the bow and arrow. After choosing this long-range killing weapon, the combat casualty rate is much lower than that of the melee weapon, which can be said to coincide with the zero casualty strategy of a certain country today.
Originally, only elves had mastered the high-tech technology that could immortalize, but Sauron actually came to the fore and developed a cheap technology for longevity of the Lord of the Rings, which was a big taboo for elves. Note that the elves' longevity technology is limited to their own clan, and although the Lord of the Rings can only live long (or will grow old), no matter which race, as long as the Lord of the Rings is worn, it will be effective, and it can be said to be a blessing to the public. The naive Sauron gave the Lord of the Rings widely, thinking that he could save all living beings, but this was considered by the elves as the greatest threat to the superiority of his clan, so he had to get rid of it quickly.
The first method used by the elves was to confuse the public and sow discord, claiming that the Lord of the Rings was extremely evil, and the Lord of the Rings reserved by Sauron could rule all other rings. Sauron did this so that he could take the opportunity to rule the world. The dwarfs are simple-minded (look at the gimli, the representative of the dwarfs in the film), and quickly believe it. Ordinary people who don't know the truth also follow the trend. However, the king of mankind (note that these are the most outstanding kings in the history of mankind) did not believe these rumors, but got closer and closer to Sauron.
At this time, the elves used their trump card: the palace coup. We don't know how these coups took place. It is likely that the elves released rumors that the Lord of the Rings has great temptation, and humans have poor resistance, so these monarchs have been controlled by the evil Sauron. The result was that these human kings were all ousted from power and had to choose to live in exile and eventually follow Sauron. This explains what was stated at the beginning of the first episode: the human kings followed Sauron faithfully, but their subjects destroyed Sauron under the leadership of the new king (controlled by the elves). In the analysis of the following chapters, we can notice that the elves and their spokespersons in the film are extremely skilled in the use of the palace coup, which can be said to have reached the level of perfection.
Led by rumors of the elves, an allied army of elves, gnomes and humans wiped out Sauron and Mordo. In order not to be exposed, the elves do everything they can. After Isildur killed Sauron, it was the Elf King who demanded that Sauron's (master) ring be destroyed. After Isildur, who was already highly reputed, refused, he was soon murdered, and the Master Ring disappeared. This incident was obviously done by the elves, which not only covered up the secret of the Lord of the Rings, but also caused the human world to fall apart, making it easier for the elves to control. Because it was Isildur who was sent to kill by the elves, the holy sword naturally fell into the hands of the elves as their secret weapon to control the battle in Middle-earth.
After Mordo and Sauron were wiped out, Middle-earth was divided among the three victorious races. Since the human race has been torn apart, the only threats to the elves are the gnomes. For the elves, when the hostile power Modo country still existed, the dwarfs still had value, and they were the targets to win over. Now, gnomes who are rich (gnomes are gold miners) and have considerable technical abilities (craftsmen) are the next target for elves. Simple-minded dwarfs die without knowing how. Afterwards, the elves put the blame on the orcs. In fact, the half-orcs have been severely damaged after Sauron's death. How could they silently eliminate the dwarf, one of the three major races that defeated them? Orcs' fighting ability is notoriously poor. In film 2, it seems that Aragorn mentioned it; in film 3, Modo raised the army and attacked Gangduo once and was defeated. The overall quality of his army (equipment) , morale) is obviously inferior to the army of the Wizard's Fort. In fact, only the elves have the ability to destroy gnomes, and according to my speculation, the elves have used the technique of killing people with a sword - this thing that the Balrog did.
So, after the First War of Middle-earth, the Elves actually ruled Middle-earth for 3,000 years. They enjoy the treatment of super-citizens, basically do not work, do not fight (the son of the regent of Gondor complained in the first episode that we fought with orcs and shed blood to protect your elves); The wealth that the dwarfs robbed and their own technology created a paradise and planned to immigrate as a whole.
However, at this critical moment, there were two important changes in the pattern: the
Orcs became active again under the guidance of Sauron's spirit;
more importantly, the rise of the wizarding forces.
When the two new powers of wizards and orcs combine, it is enough to shake the elves' control over Middle-earth.
Under this circumstance, the elves used their influence again, setting off a new round of bloody storms in Middle-earth. This is the main content of the war described in the film "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. But how the elves planned their conspiracy, the film "The Lord of the Rings" did not say it directly, but used a lot of curved pens. To predict the truth, please read "The Lord of the Rings" (four): mastermind.
