In fact, there are still a lot of treasures left in the ogre's cave, and Tang Sen remembered that in the original book, Thorin and his party got three elven blades in the cave, as well as a lot of coins.

Obviously, because of the episode just now, everyone was not in the mood to search, and Tang Sen naturally wouldn't remind him, he was so happy.

Thorin Oakshield was a troublesome man, even before he saw him, Townsend thought so.

It's not just because this person only thinks about the lonely mountain, the wealth in the lonely mountain, and the status of the king under the mountain, but other things can't shake his belief at all.

It is even more because of his special status.

This world wants to build an army, but it is much more troublesome than the Pirates of the Caribbean world, after all, the people of this world value loyalty more seriously, and whether it is elves, dwarves or humans, their loyalty already belongs to their respective leaders.

For example, Shalin, even though she has made an oath to Townese, but under Thorin's orders, she cannot resist, and faces the dilemma of loyalty and oath.

Relying on his wealth, Townsend hired dozens of people at most, as he did now, and he always faced the risk of betrayal.

Moreover, it is impossible for dozens of people to succeed in obtaining the Doomsday Volcano, and even the Black Gate of Mordor cannot be seen.

So, if you want to have a dwarven army that is large enough to not betray, then Thorin Oak Shield can't get around it.

......

Galloping all the way, because Thorin Oak Shield didn't say a word, the atmosphere of the whole team was extremely dull.

Even the most active of Sarin had a bitter face, not because of Thorin Oak Shield, but because Townsend had reclaimed the Mithril Hammer.

It's so big that even in a dense jungle like the Trolls Glade, it's sometimes hard to get through the gaps between trees, and it's impossible to take it with you.

Moreover, the pony under the crotch can't bear it.

It wasn't until the sun rose in the sky that the trolls jungle finally came to an end, and through the gaps between the trees, you could already see the hills ahead, the yellow-green grass undulating like waves, and the bare boulders like reefs in the waves.

Gandalf sped up his horse, moved forward parallel to Townsen, glanced at Thorin in front of him, and whispered, "What are you planning?" ”

"What do you mean?" Townsend Road.

"The more I think about it, the more wrong it becomes, you know that the dwarves you hired belong to Thorin's people, and if you want to avoid that scene, you don't have to show up in front of Thorin." He stared at Townsend and said:

"However, you allowed this to happen, and in the course of Thorin's conversation, you used the trap of words to provoke Thorin to agree to the so-called compensation on the grounds of good faith, and then, you seem to be deliberately provoking his anger and trying to steer the conversation to Lone's Mountain."

Townsend gave Gandalf a surprised look.

He had never underestimated this wizard who had traveled in Middle-earth for thousands of years, but when the information was completely unequal, the other party could still see that he had other plans, and he really lived up to his reputation.

"What do you think I'm planning?" Townsend didn't deny it, just asked rhetorically.

"The riches of the lonely mountain?" Gandalf himself denied the speculation: "No, it can't be, you don't lack wealth at all." ”

"What the hell? I think you'd better tell me if we're going to go together, or I'll not be able to sleep well every day! ”

"You don't have to worry, because we don't go together." Townsend spoke.

Gandalf was stunned for a moment: "You don't plan to go to Lonely Mountain?" Why did you approach Thorin? ”

"No, it's that you won't go to Lonely Mountain." Townsend smiled and pinched the horse's belly slightly, and the horse quickened his pace to overtake Gandalf.

"Ahh Gandalf let out a low roar, "I hate people who talk mysteriously! ”

He habitually ignored that he had this habit too, and just cursed in a low voice: "Nasty traveler! ”

Out of the trolls glade, the sun suddenly shone on everyone's bodies without hindrance, and the scenery in front of them was so beautiful that the dwarves finally couldn't hold back their nature and couldn't help but start giggling.

"Sharda, did that human really hire you with Mithril?"

"Soli, how long have you been out? How did they find us? Last night was so thrilling that I almost smelled my own barbecue! ”

"That human is a traveler? What is the origin? ”

"Sarin! Good to see you! Can I touch your Mithril Armor? ”

“......”

At this time, Thorin Oak Shield finally slowed down his horse, came to Tang Sen with a gloomy face, and said directly: "I will not break my promise to you for liquidated damages and thanks, if you don't believe it, you can follow us to the Lonely Mountain, but Shalin and the dwarves must go back." ”

"I need sarin and the dwarves to keep me safe." Tang Sen said slowly: "I have paid, unless I see the liquidated damages, or the dwarf is not honest, otherwise the employment will not be suspended." ”

"After all, this realm is full of oaks, if I accidentally get killed by the oaks, wouldn't it be cheaper for you?"

"You!" Thorin stared, forcibly suppressed his anger, and said, "With me, no Oak can hurt you." ”

"Really? I don't believe it. ”

Townsend clamped the horse's belly and did not stand side by side with Thorin.

Gandalf arrived in time, took Townsend's place, and said, "Let's see what he wants to do, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him." ”

He was still thinking about the One Ring that Townsend had said, and no matter what, he had to verify the authenticity of the news.

At this moment, suddenly the sound of a horn came from behind the hills.

Then the wolf howl sounded at the same time in front, on the left and on the right, and the sound of galloping.

"Oops!"

Thorin's face changed, and he reined in his horse and looked away, only to see a dense crowd of figures suddenly emerge from behind the hills and boulders on three sides.

"It's the Oaks who have been following us! We are in ambush! ”

He shouted, "Quick! Back to the jungle! ”

The others had already reacted and turned their horses' heads.

But it was too late, and the dwarves on ponies didn't have time to return to the jungle at the speed of the wolves, and the Orcs had formed a circle in the rear.

So, in all directions, there was the shouts of the Oaks, and the howling wind mixed with the stench of the Oaks came to the face.

"Why so many?" Gandalf held his hand in one hand and looked around, "This is not right at all, the Orcs who followed us are just a small team, in a short period of time, how could they have mobilized so many Orcs from the Misty Mountains?" ”

"This is simply an army that has been planned for a long time!"
