Silver moon vegetables are a good food to supplement physical energy, but the dwarves don't know the goods.

However, when there is nothing else to eat, the dwarves are no longer picky.

After Yang Gong distributed the silver moon vegetables to the dwarves, the dwarves first tried it in small bites, and then devoured the silver moon vegetables.

After eating the silver moon vegetables, the dwarves' physical fitness recovered a lot, their mental state also improved a lot, and the speed of the team's march increased significantly.

The Snow Emperor team followed behind the Dwarven Expedition and broke off the Dwarven Expedition.

Thorin followed the group, but he was a little sullen in his heart.

He felt that the swordsmen didn't need to do this at all, they still had time, they needed to rest, and only by resting well could they move forward more efficiently.

However, he soon realized that he had made a big mistake.

A terrible, long wolf howl came from the ridge behind him.

It's a signal!

Immediately afterward, there was a long and short, high and low wolf howl on the ridges on three sides!

Ollie was stunned and said, "What's going on? What's going on! ”

Whitebeard Balin squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, and gasped deeply, "It's a wolf cavalry...... Oh, my God! We're surrounded! ”

Thorin said in a deep voice: "Fortunately, the swordsman let us move one step ahead, otherwise, I would not have been able to escape anyway, and now, the wolf cavalry is still far away, we just need to run towards the canyon!" ”

"Yes!"

The dwarves were about to speed up and run, but Xu Feng said loudly, "Let's not go to the canyon!" ”

Thorin was stunned and said, "Don't go to the canyon? However, the only way to the lonely mountain is the canyon! ”

Xu Feng said in a deep voice: "You know that the road leads to the Lonely Mountain, and Azog naturally knows it. The reason why he let the wolf cavalry appear was to create a deterrent effect and drive us to the canyon. Once we are in the canyon, we will be ambushed. ”

Thorin frowned and asked, "Then what do we do?" ”

Groyin swept the war hammer in his hand and said in a rough voice: "Then we will fight with them!" ”

The dwarves then shouted, "Yes, fight with them!" ”

Xu Feng said in a deep voice: "What to fight?" We have just a few people, but the enemy is at least three or four thousand! Why use your own disadvantages to fight for other people's advantages? ”

Thorin said eagerly, "So what do we do?" ”

Xu Feng pointed to the mountains next to the guide, "Go in the opposite direction." ”

Thorin was stunned, "In the opposite direction? ”

The Misty Mountains are a large mountain range from north to south, almost spanning half of Middle-earth, the northern part of the Misty Mountains is just a few scattered monsters, and in the south, it is the world of half-orcs.

To go south is to kill yourself.

And that's not all, the most important thing is that Thorin is bent on returning to the Lonely Mountain! If you go south, you will get farther and farther away from the lonely mountain!

Such a contrary behavior will definitely not reach the Lonely Mountain, and it will still go to the lair of the orcs, which is ......

Thorin frowned and said, "Swordsman, you shouldn't be joking, right?" ”

Xu Feng said coldly: "I don't have time to joke with you! What we are fighting with Azog now is not the victory or defeat of the troops, but the victory or defeat of the tactics, and Azog's intention is obvious, that is, to drive us to the canyon, and then block us at both ends, so that we can not fly with wings, so running in the direction of the canyon, not only can we not reach the lonely mountain, but will go to death. If we want to break this tactic of Azog, we have to jump out of his encirclement - he would never have dreamed that we would go south, because the south is his lair, and normal people would not run for their lives in the direction of the enemy's lair. ”

"yes!" Thorin frowned and said, "Normal people would not run for their lives to the enemy's lair!" ”

Xu Feng smiled: "Thorin, let me ask you, how many troops do the orcs still have?" ”

"This ......" Thorin shook his head helplessly, "I don't have an intelligence system, I don't know." ”

Xu Feng smiled: "I don't have either, but I can roughly guess it." Back then, in the battle with you in the Blue Mountains, more than half of the elite were lost, and finally they fled back to their lair in embarrassment. After another ten years of dormant cultivation, they established the Dark Fortress and the Jungle Outpost, but both of them were burned by me, we killed five hundred of them in the Wet Swamp, and in the Dark Fortress, they killed one or two thousand of them, and now, in order to form an encirclement, they mobilized at least three thousand wolf cavalry, and in the canyon, I guess they also have at least a thousand troops to ambush again. In this way, inside and out, you say, how many troops can they have in their lair? ”

Devalin immediately gasped, "I see! You mean, we're not going to go to the Lonely Mountain, we're going to destroy Azog's lair! ”

Thorin's brow furrowed.

Obviously, "Diedi's" analysis is very reasonable, and Azog knows that they want to go to Gushan, so in the case of encirclement, Gushan is simply impossible to reach.

If you break through to the south, not only will you be relatively safer, but you may also be able to destroy Azog's lair, which can be regarded as making the dwarves of the Lonely Mountain raise their eyebrows.

It's just that, in this way, wouldn't you completely miss the great opportunity to enter the Lonely Mountain Palace?

Time was already very tight, even if they could really destroy the orc lair in the south, it would be impossible for them to go to the Lonely Mountain Palace from the far south.

Thorin sighed abruptly, "I'm not reconciled, I missed this opportunity, we have to wait another year...... Who knows what it will be like this time next year? ”

Xu Feng said in a deep voice: "Thorin, you believe me, I will bring all of you to the Lonely Mountain before the autumn solstice comes." ”

Thorin was surprised and said, "How is this possible? Didn't you tell us to break through to the south? ”

Xu Feng smiled: "Yes, but this will not affect our journey to Lonely Mountain. ”

Thorin shook his head vigorously, "This can't be! Even if we pass through the canyon smoothly, under the pursuit of the orcs, it will be difficult for us to reach the lonely mountain on time, not to mention, we have to break through to the south first, and there is no time at all! ”

Xu Feng smiled: "I said, if I can do it, then I will definitely be able to do it, you don't have to ask too much, you just have to believe me." ”

Thorin gritted his teeth, "After so many things, the ironclad facts tell me, believe you, there will be no mistakes!" Dwarves, all to the south! Let's destroy the orc's lair! ”

"Yes!"

The dwarves immediately turned around and hurried south.

In the distance, on the ridge, the leader of the orcs, Azog, was riding on his giant white wolf, coldly watching the dwarven expedition forward.

When the dwarven expedition redirected and began to run south, his brow bone, which had no eyebrows, tightened.
