Thank you for the monthly pass of the little white elder, the law, the half-house immortal, the little one's grandson, and the hunter alpha.

PS: Commuter pass plus update. Continue~――

As the only elven clan to intervene in the battle of the Five Armies, the personality of Thrandil, the king of the Dark Jungle, Wu Chen had studied it very seriously.

It stands to reason that as a 'beautiful voice, music and poetry' of the Sinda elves, the elf kings who are full of elegant artistic atmosphere should not be slaves of gold coins.

But why did he hear that Smaug had been killed, and he couldn't wait to lead the army into the Lonely Mountain?

Of course, there are all kinds of speculations. In order to bring back the starlight white gems that were sent to Gushan for polishing many years ago, because it was a memorial to the late queen; Or according to the explanation of the original book, it involves a feud between the dwarves and the elven kingdom of Dorias in the First Age, etc.

But Wu Chen felt that it seemed a little weak simply for the sake of starlight white gems or simply because of a memory.

Referring to Thrandil's experience, Wu Chen felt that in the final alliance battle of the Second Age, because of the lack of equipment, the tragic experience of killing his father and two-thirds of the elite of the kingdom in battle made Thranduil deeply stimulated.

However, the best mines in Middle-earth are in dwarven territory. To obtain enough high-grade ores, and Mithril, the rarest of the elves, must be purchased from the Dwarves. So, this is the reason why Thranduil is willing to bow his proud head and show kindness to the dwarves of the lonely mountain.

Judging from the fact that the kingdom under the mountain was attacked by Smaug, and Thranduil sent troops to rescue him, he was actually a mere formality in his alliance with the dwarves. I don't care in my heart.

But he cherished his covenant with humanity. This may have something to do with the fact that he fought alongside humans in the final battle of the Alliance. At the beginning of the Third Age after the end of the Battle of the Last Alliance. Essidor, the High King of the Dendans, gave Gondor to his nephew Merandil. He went to the north to rule Arno. When Essidor was ambushed by orcs in the Gladden Fields, he immediately appealed to Thrandil for help. Thranduil then arrived with reinforcements, but the battle was over by the time they arrived.

The death of Essidor is shown in the extended version. At the critical moment, Essidor wore the One Ring to become invisible, but the One Ring betrayed him, and the Ring grew larger and slipped off his fingers, causing Essidor to be discovered by the orcs and killed by random arrows. Three sons died with him, and the One Ring was lost in the Gladdenriver. Until the hobbit who was dragged into the water by the big fish found it.

Originally, Wu Chen was not very sure about his speculation, but when he sent a whole dragon skin over, Thranduil couldn't wait to start the performance of the armed army, which convinced him of his previous judgment. Of course, the King of the Dark Forest obviously sensed that the crisis was looming, which is why he was so eager to arm himself.

This hidden clue from the dragon, Wu Chen's intuitive judgment, should be very important.

Wu Chen's purpose in coming to Middle-earth was to bring back the Smaug and Akon Gems. Promoted to the female fire dragon of the 6-star dragon god. And the gray-robed man in the Death Swamp told him that he had to find four dragon soul stones. Use them to sever the connection with Sauron's Eye and completely cut off the growing dark side of the mother dragon's heart, and control the mother dragon through the Dragon Soul Stone. And when the energy of the Dragon Soul Stone is not enough to control the mother dragon, it must also be 'recharged' by devouring the dragon's soul.

So Wu Chen went to the withered wasteland twice before and after, the purpose was to collect the dragon soul.

However, he overlooked the dragon's own powerful intelligent creatures.

The witch's pretended sacrifice is peeped upon by the dragon, and the death of the fat dragon also alerts the dragons. The repetition of the old trick has completely lost its meaning. The past that the dragon told Wu Chen about Thrandil became the only clue.

This clue seemed to have nothing to do with the task, but Wu Chen, who had refined the spiritual force field into the demigod realm, felt in the dark that this was the right direction.

The giant wolf traveled west along the Grey Mountains, arriving at the 'human' junction of the Misty Mountains and the Grey Mountains a few days later. Turning north along the narrow valley of the crossing, the team arrived at the Gangdaba mountain boundary half a day later.

The wolf cavalry of the orcs immediately surrounded them from all sides.

Fortunately, Wu Chen was dressed as a Luen and rode a giant wolf, and the half-orcs did not attack immediately, but sent a team of elite heavy armored wolf cavalry to come over to negotiate. The so-called heavy armor, similar to Assog's son Pogue, embeds scaly black iron into his skin layer by layer.

Although the group of orcs howled on the wolf's back, the wolf beneath them slammed on the brakes as they rushed towards the dragon. The head wolf under Wu Chen let out a low whimper, and the half-orc wolf trembled and fell to his knees.

The orc frantically tugged at the reins, but failed to lift the wolf.

Wu Chen stroked the ear of the head wolf and motioned for it to relax.

Sure enough, it wasn't until the head wolf stopped whimpering that the soft-footed wolf was pulled up by his master with difficulty.

"Who are you!" Orcs even speak lingua franca.

"A merchant from the East." Wu Chen replied in Lune.

"What kind of merchant!" The orcs skillfully switched to rune. Yo, you're still a talent......

"The Dragon Merchant." As he spoke, Wu Chen threw the blood-stained dragon scales far away.

Sniffing hard, the half-orc seemed to feel some impressions, but he was not very sure, so he glanced at Wu Chen viciously, turned around and ran back.

The dense wolf cavalry immediately stirred, and when the orcs returned, their expressions were no longer so hideous.

"Dragon Merchant, welcome to Gangdaba!" As he spoke, the orc threw the dragon scales back vigorously! It was like a bullet out of the chamber, shooting directly at Wu Chen, but it was gently pinched by Bayonetta with two fingers.

The half-orc, who wanted to see Wu Chen's ugliness, just opened half of his big mouth, and closed it back with hatred. A long horn was blown, and the wolf cavalry scattered all over the mountains immediately scattered in all directions.

The entrance to Gondaba is southwest of the foot of Mount Gangdaba. The wicked gate was made of huge black boulders, and from a distance, it looked like a few orcs of black iron machetes, wild and crude. The vast gates, made of stiff black iron, were made of black iron and were built by orcs in the middle of the night with tall walls made of black boulders and ancient logs cut from the dark forests.

When Wu Chen entered the gate under the guidance of this team of wolf cavalry, he suddenly realized that he had entered a brightly lit city?!

The vast underground city is made up of natural black rock caves, orc-built chambers, mines, secret passages, and large halls, and is connected by cobweb-like stone bridges, slings, and secret passages, full of chaotic and orderly orc geometry.

Buildings of various shapes are densely distributed, and the whole city is even more bottomless. Wu Chen leaned over to see that the vertical and horizontal stone bridge slings were illuminated by a circle of torches that went deep into the ground, and the stone bridge was often lined up in a row of half-orcs and beasts. Crowded, noisy, chaotic, disorderly, chaotic, dirty, the air is filled with a strong mixture of stench, which is almost impossible to breathe.

Wu Chen also found that the mountains surrounding the city were also very well developed.

These orcs have dug long, deep passages that lead even farther into the Misty Mountains, Grey Mountains, and Angmar Mountains! These passages played an invaluable role in the later expansion of the Orcs into the northern mountains of Middle-earth and in the battle between Moria and the Dwarves.

In Wu Chen's view, this underground city, full of primitive wildness and vitality, can be said to be a precious cradle of the orcs in the early days of Middle-earth. After the sinking of the Belland Continent, the orcs thrived here well, laying a solid foundation for the future Middle-earth War.

For example, the famous battle of the Five Armies launched by the orcs in the northern region of Middle-earth, the battle of Moria, and the battle of Sirian in the southern capital, etc., were all bred by the abundant resources of Gondaba.

The light of Gangdaba is more yellowish than the bright sunlight. Very dazzling yellow.

Even the fairest female companion next to Wu Chen was dyed with a layer of sallow.

Wu Chen...... Fortunately, it's more like a rune.

When all the stone bridge slings began to converge in one place, Wu Chen suddenly looked up and saw a huge circular platform built from black iron, solid wood, animal bones, and gorgeous bird feathers on top of the fallen stalactites.

The leader of the orcs standing on the platform was none other than the pale orc Asog's son, with an iron plate on his head.

"Welcome to Gondaba, dragon merchant from Rune!" With the outstretched arms of the orc leader, a tsunami-like howl rang out in all directions. Simply compared to numbers, humans are no match for orcs.

"Thank you, son of the pale orc Asog, Pog of Gondaba." Wu Chen smiled in return.

His identity was revealed by Wu Chen, and Pog suddenly stopped the cheers of the half-orcs, stared at Wu Chen's eyes, and said word by word: "You know me? ”

"Although I come from the far east, I have the privilege of hearing about you and your father's great names." Wu Chen patted his ass a little.

The expression of Pogue, who was exhaling through his nostrils, was obviously very proud.

It was only then that Pogue switched to Rune: "So what did you come to Gondaba for, Dragon Merchant?" ”

Wu Chen smiled and spread his hands: "In the words of our Khan, take a walk and take a look." ”

Although Wu Chen, who was obviously lacking in confidence, said very hazyly, but Poge magically understood: "Your Khan, send you to assess the strength of Gangdaba. ”

"That's right." Wu Chen was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly restrained his smile.

Pogue looked up to the sky with a murderous gaze and smiled: "Hahaha! So, let me feel the dragon's claws first! ”

Before the words fell, a huge two-headed trolls roared and smashed to the ground!

"So, this is also a test?" Wu Chen glanced at Bei Younita beside him.

The witch, dressed in a rune robe and only showing her eyes, stepped down gracefully from the giant wolf. With Rune in hand, he walked across from the troll.

"That's right!" Pogue smirked: "Welcome to Gangdaba!" (To be continued......)
