With Zoro's more cautious thinking, it is not difficult to deduce, "If Ciceli had stepped on the trolls' trap first, she would have been smashed into her skull by a spiked stick at the first moment, and she would have turned into a corpse in an instant." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

The dwarven knight on a pony was the first to charge into the forest.

Didn't run much distance. But the oppressive feeling of emptiness made the galloping horses gasp. Together with the dwarven knight on his back, his broad chest was like a bellows on a furnace, constantly undulating.

until you climb a steep slope.

Suddenly, the dwarven knight's body was immobile as if he were carrying a jack gate.

Just because, he found that the ground under the steep slope was full of camouflage. Those sturdy, thick and strong bodies are all blue-skinned trolls.

The trolls attacked, and before pounced on their prey, the trolls curled up with their claws and crude weapons, stealthily approaching the opponent. The dwarven knights who had gone deep into the ambush had just become alert, and a large number of trolls pounced on them.

So the moment he spotted the trolls troops, it was already too late.

…… The fall of every knight is a glorious and tragic event.

Galloping through the woodland, the cavalry scouts sent out by Sauron suddenly fell into the siege of trolls after about ten minutes.

When he found that his way of life had been blocked, the dwarven knight resolutely drew his long sword at his waist and shouted a war cry belonging to the dwarves, "Turin! ”

The long sword in his hand left a deep wound on the ogre's body, but he was attacked by multiple trolls from all sides at the same time.

The Black Iron Fifth Rank Knight, named Ilze, finally left his saddle and stared up at the back of the horse that fell above his head with godless eyes. Ilze embraced death with open arms, and his body was instantly overwhelmed by the trolls. His body was revealed, a crimson or brownish black that had never been exposed.

Half an hour later, the three-dimensional image he had seen was reflected in Zoro's mind.

At a distance of a thousand meters, the three cavalry scouts, from three different directions, were all attacked, and there was not even the slightest space to escape. From a place of glory that should be looked up to by the world, to a place that will be erased by some kind of trampling and cruelty.

Zoro's eyes narrowed slightly, flashing with sharp reflections. When he raised his palm, he suddenly clenched his fist, "Stop advancing." ”

…………………… Life and death, one on horseback and one under the horse, each have their own place.

A knight who lives on horseback does not lack the enthusiasm and urge to climb to glory; There should be no loneliness of abandonment under the horse. Because Sauron would have memorized the names of the three dwarven cavalrymen, "Ingie, Ilze, and Jeffrey." "It's just because of their sacrifice - wronged and unjust.

"Everybody be careful." Yabu reminded loudly.

The light in the woodland ahead is lit off by the mist, and it is a colorful light and dark color.

Sometimes it's a thorn, sometimes it's a pale blue puddle.

None of the three scouts survived, and the thorny woodland, because of the dead silence, revealed a feeling of oppression that made it difficult to breathe.

"Prepare for defense, bow and arrow on!"

At least half of the team was armed with bows and arrows, and as soon as Sauron's order was given, the dwarves standing at the front were already dismounted and ready to fight.

It's just that ten minutes have passed, but there is still no movement ahead.

"Ready! ――”

Listening to Thorin's elongated tone, the dwarf standing in the front row picked up the bow and arrow in his hand, his eyes staring at the mist scattered between the trunks and leaves, and looking up uneasily at the gloomy sky peeking out between the leaves, feeling like a fish and shrimp under a cluster of aquatic weeds.

Five more minutes later.

The dwarven hunter, who is obviously more experienced than the apprentice, loosens his limbs, his ears, nostrils, and pores, and lets the smell of cold pour in, and where there is no sound, listen to the unnamed, until the sound of horses' hooves is heard on the grass ahead!

Gradually, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near.

"It's a dwarven scout." Yabu squinted slightly, already seeing the outline in the fog.

But Zoro shook his head slowly.

"Sometimes, even your own eyes can be deceiving, Jab."

Zoro's voice was so faint and icy that it made Jab shiver. "Shoot them and kill them!"

The three dwarven scouts had already died, so he knew that it wasn't them who had returned.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Thorin knew more about trolls than the new lord Sauron, so he didn't hesitate to carry out his orders.

With his gestures, the dwarven hunters aimed at the three figures in the curtain that became clearer and clearer, the pull of the arms deformed the strings, and when they let go, the elastic potential energy of the bow was immediately converted into the kinetic energy of the arrows, and they quickly sank into the curtain of mist.

Woo Woo ---

The arrows dragged the trajectory that cut through the air, and fired in one shot. The neighing of horses was heard ahead, and three 'cavalry scouts' were shot almost simultaneously with men and horses.

Later, 7 experienced dwarves rushed into the snow mist without hesitation, dragging back the corpses of the three 'cavalry scouts'.

"It's an ogre."

Bellinger, Zebulun and the others collectively gasped, and Jabu suddenly realized. Just because lying on the ground, wearing armor, are three odious ogres with the faces of three abominable trolls.

Many pairs of eyes had just been deceived, and after all, no one would have thought that the cavalry scouts would all be killed in such a short period of time. Because they don't have that experience.

And the dwarves who live in the Dragon Court woodlands often have to guard against trolls. So basically every dwarf knows that trolls are a ferocious monster. Eating the brains of humans and inheriting some memories to become the appearance of the deceased is an innate talent of trolls.

It doesn't matter if the three trolls took on the form of three dwarven cavalry scouts, whether they were for deception or assassination. Sauron chose to shoot them at the first opportunity, which made the dwarf Thorin see a sign of calm and wisdom in either way.

His eyes slid faintly and calmly over the corpse on the ground.

Even though it was extremely difficult to calm down in his heart, Thorin's eyebrows and eyes were full of indifference. "We act as if in the hands of the trolls, and in order to break this passivity. Now, perhaps, the time has come when we must fight. ”

With that, Thorin turned to the seven dwarves beside him, "The hatred between us dwarves and trolls can only be washed away with sword and blood. And now, at last, the time has come to wash away that hatred. -- Turin! ”
