Chapter 107: Bait

"Thorin has a feud with the Elven King?"

Leaving the Woodland Kingdom and glancing at Thorin at the front, Baggins looked at Gandalf with a puzzled expression.

Gandalf sighed, "It's a grudge from decades ago, and it all started with Thorin's father.

Thor was the king of the Lonely Mountain in the previous generation, and under his leadership, Irub's power grew to the Grey Mountains, and Irubor was unprecedentedly powerful at that time, perhaps only the 'Gondor' in its heyday could match it.

Human ambition cannot be satisfied, and so is Thor's ambition.

Thor was particularly obsessed with wealth, especially gold, so he used various means to put all the gold in his palace.

This was the beginning of bad luck.

The rest of the things are recorded in ancient books, you are a scholar, you should know, right?

It was at that time that a rift appeared in the friendship between the elven king and the dwarves, and after the appearance of the evil dragon Smaug, the boat of friendship between the two races was completely overturned. ”

Baggins nodded, confused, "Is it true that as the Elven King said, there is a curse on the gold in the Erubor Palace?" ”

"Cursed?"

Gandalf scoffed, "No white-robed mage like Saruman can plant a curse, unless the evil god, where the gold comes from, is the fault of greed." ”

"Roar ......"

As Gandalf and Baggins were chatting, the roar of the beast brought them back to reality, and one by one the orcs rushed out of the dark forest, encircling Thorin and the others.

Holding a long sword, Thorin's face was full of anger, and he roared: "I just said that the elves who betray friendship cannot be trusted, how can the orcs escape the sight of the elves when they enter the dark forest, they join forces with the orcs ......"

"Whew!"

Before Thorin could finish speaking, an arrow fell from the sky, piercing the head of the nearest orc.

"Woo Woo ......"

Arrows rained down, and the arrows containing magic power formed an overwhelming network of arrows that covered the dark forest, and most of the orcs who were ambushed in the forest were killed in an instant, and the rest fled in confusion.

When the rain of arrows stopped, Gandalf and the others looked at the elven warriors on the tree pole behind them.

Jumping down from the tree pole, Legolas looked at Thorin and said solemnly: "The dark forest is the home of the elves, why do the elves need to join forces with the orcs if they want to kill the dwarves, don't put gold on your face."

His father is a king despite his ruthlessness, and the friendship between elves and dwarves is shattered, but it is impossible for him to fall into the trap, and he is bent on how to protect his people, and he will never be in the company of orcs.

I'll send you out of the dark forest. ”

As he spoke, Legolas drew the sword at his waist and took the initiative to walk in front.

Thorin's face was rather ugly, and he didn't say anything with a cold snort, Gandalf stepped forward and asked, "Prince Legolas, your father should know that the orcs are ready to provoke a war, right?" ”

"Well, I just found out recently."

The Woodland Kingdom is isolated from the rest of the world, and the Children of the Forest rarely go out, so it is difficult for news from afar to reach here.

However, yesterday the black-scaled dragon had already informed his father of the news, and he happened to be present and naturally knew the ambitions of the orcs.

After thinking about it carefully, he didn't tell the existence of the black-scaled dragon after all.

"Orcs have invaded the Dark Forest, war is coming, the elves are not immune, Rivendell is ready to join the war, I wonder what His Majesty Thranduil thinks?"

Legolas is a child of Thranduil, and should know some inside information, Gandalf thought.

"I'm just a prince, not Your Majesty, and these are not things I should think about, I only think about how to kill the enemy."

As he spoke, Legolas said solemnly: "These dozen orcs are just scouts, leaving the dark forest, the orcs will not give up the pursuit of you." ”

Half an hour later, we arrived at the edge of the dark jungle.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, the dwarves will remember this friendship."

"Not necessarily."

Legolas glanced at Gandalf and hesitated for a while before speaking: "I advise you not to go back to Irubour, Iron Hills is the best choice, the matter is more serious than you think, and the orcs are not the most terrible, so they can do it themselves." ”

With that, Legolas raised his arm and led the elven warrior back to the Dark Forest.

Looking at his back, Gandalf was thoughtful, a little unaware of the meaning of Legolas's words.

Sauron returned to Middle-earth from nothingness, the One Ring surfaced, Smaug's existence was no secret, their expedition would not stop, Thranduil did not say anything about war, what did Legolas's advice mean.

For a moment, Gandalf had a bad feeling in his heart, but he couldn't say it.

"Gandalf?"

"Oh, Thranduy has a good offspring, and we'll continue our journey and we'll soon be in Long Lake."

Meanwhile, to the south of the dark forest.

The wolf bit a demon spider to death, and the orc commander looked hideous, and the long sword in his hand directly cut off the head of the half-orc kneeling on the ground.

Blood gushed like a fountain, and wolves pounced on the corpses one after another.

"Damn elves, dare to hinder us from hunting down the abominable dwarves, hateful!"

"Commander, Moriah has sent a message that the orc army has headed north and will arrive at Irub in a month."

Putting the long sword back into its scabbard, the orc commander rode on the wolf, and said in a cold voice: "Very good, and let the elves be arrogant for a few days, when the orc army arrives, it will definitely step on the dark forest."

To continue the pursuit, Thorin's head must be cut off before His Majesty Azog arrives at Irub. ”

"Yes."

Rivendell, inside the Elven Sanctuary.

Standing in the temple, Galadriel's eyes were closed, his soul wandered out of the world, and he suddenly woke up, and his voice was ethereal: "The army of half-orcs has gone north, but there are only about 10,000.

It shouldn't be like this......

With the Pale Orc King Azog in sight, there must be something we've overlooked. ”

"Back then, in the battle for Moria, there were hundreds of thousands of orcs, but now there are only 10,000, where have the others gone?"

At the conference table, Elon looked solemn, the flames of war will spread in Middle-earth, and no one can take it easy.

Saruman's expression was solemn, and he said, "Have you forgotten that the appearance of the Ring Spirit means that the orcs have taken refuge in Sauron, and they probably have sensed something, and the army of 10,000 orcs may be trying to hold us back." ”

"Azog is not in Moria, and the army of 10,000 and a half orcs is the bait."

With that, Galadriel said, "Gendauf must be informed that the orc army may already be on its way." ”

Elon immediately stood up and said solemnly: "I'll go and give the order to immediately launch an attack on the orc army." ”
