People are in the heavens, wealth can rival a country

Chapter 88 What Are You Planning? (plus more)
In fact, there are still many treasures left in the ogre's cave. Tang Sen remembered that in the original book, Sorin and his party obtained three sharp blades made by elves and a lot of coins in the cave.

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

Thorin Oakenshield was a very troublesome person, even before seeing 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. Other things can't shake his belief at all.

It is because of his special status.

If this world wants to form an army, it is much more troublesome than in the Pirates of the Caribbean world. After all, people in this world value the quality of loyalty more, and whether it is elves, dwarves or humans, their loyalty has already belonged to their respective leaders .

For example, Sha Lin, even though she had already made an oath to Tang Sen, she could not resist under Sorin's order, and faced a dilemma between loyalty and oath.

Relying on wealth, Tang Sen can at most employ dozens of people like he does now, and is always facing the risk of betrayal.

Moreover, it is absolutely impossible for dozens of people to successfully obtain the Doomsday Volcano, and even the black gate of Mordor cannot be seen.

Therefore, if you want to have a large enough dwarf army without betraying, then Thorin Oakenshield cannot be bypassed.

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

Even the most active Sarin was grimacing, not because of Thorin Oakenshield, but because of Tang Sen's recovery of the Mithril Hammer.

This thing is too big, even in a dense jungle like the troll woodland, sometimes it is difficult to pass through the gaps between trees, and it is impossible to take it along on the road.

Moreover, the pony under his crotch couldn't bear it either.

Until the sun rose to the sky, the troll jungle finally came to an end. Through the gap between the trees, the hills in front could already be seen. The yellow-green grass undulated like waves, and the huge stone exposed outside was like waves. in the reef.

Gandalf speeded up his horse, and moved forward parallel to Townsend. He glanced at Thorin in front of him, and said in a low voice, "What are you planning?"

"What do you mean?" Tang Sen asked.

"The more I think about it, the more something is wrong. You clearly know that the dwarves you hired belong to Thorin's tribe. If you want to avoid the scene just now, you don't need to appear in front of Thorin." He stared at Tang Sen , said:
"However, you allowed this to happen, and during the conversation with Sorin, you used language traps to stimulate Sorin to accept the so-called compensation on the grounds of honesty, and then, you seemed to be deliberately provoking his anger , trying to lead the topic to Gushan.”

Townsend glanced at Gandalf unexpectedly.

He has never underestimated this wizard who has traveled in Middle-earth for thousands of years, but when the information is completely unequal, the other party can still see that he has other plans, and his reputation is indeed well-deserved.

"What do you think I'm planning?" Tang Sen didn't deny it, but asked rhetorically.

"The wealth of the Lonely Mountain?" Gandalf himself denied the speculation: "No, it's impossible, you don't lack wealth at all."

"What the hell is it? I think if we're going to go together next time, you'd better tell me, or I won't be able to sleep well every day!"

"You don't have to worry, because we won't go together." Tang Sen said.

Gandalf froze for a moment: "You don't plan to go to the Lonely Mountain? Why do you approach Thorin?"

"No, you won't go to the Lonely Mountain." Tang Sen smiled and pinched the horse's belly slightly. The horse quickened its pace and overtook Gandalf.

"Ah!" Gandalf growled, "I hate people who talk mysteriously!"

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

After leaving the troll forest, the sun shone on everyone without any hindrance, and the scenery in front of them was so beautiful that the dwarves finally couldn't restrain their nature, and couldn't help laughing.

"Sharda, that human really hired you with Mithril?"

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

"That human is a traveler? What's the origin?"

"Sarin! It's good to see you! Can I touch your mithril armor?"

"."

And at this time, Thorin Oakenshield finally slowed down his horse, came to Tang Sen with a sullen face, and said directly: "I will not break my promise to you for liquidated damages and thank you. If you Believe me or not, you can follow us to the Lonely Mountain, but Sharin and the dwarves must go back."

"I need Sharin and the dwarves to guarantee my safety." Tang Sen said slowly, "I paid the money, and the employment will not be terminated unless we see liquidated damages or the dwarves don't want to be honest."

"After all, this land is full of Orcs. If I were accidentally killed by Orcs, wouldn't it be cheaper for you?"

"You!" Thorin stared, forced his anger back, and said, "With me, no Orc can hurt you."

"Really? I don't believe it."

Tang Sen clamped his horse's stomach and did not stand side by side with Sorin.

Gandalf rushed over in time, replaced Tang Sen, and said, "Let's see what he wants to do. Don't worry, I will keep an eye on him."

He was still thinking about the Supreme Lord of the Rings that Tang Sen had mentioned. No matter what, he had to verify the truth of the news.

At this time, a horn sounded suddenly from behind the hill.

Then there was the sound of howling wolves and the sound of galloping at the same time from the front, left and right.

"Oops!"

Sorin's expression changed, he reined in his horse and looked into the distance, only to see dense figures suddenly appearing from behind the hills and boulders on three sides.

"The Orcs who have been with us! We are ambushed!"

He shouted: "Quick! Back to the jungle!"

The others had already reacted and turned their horses around.

But it was too late. Under the speed of the warg, the dwarf on the pony had no time to return to the jungle, and the Orcs had already formed a siege in the rear.

As a result, the cries of Orcs were heard in all directions, and the howling wind mixed with the stench of Orcs rushed towards the face.

"Why so many?" Gandalf held his palm in one hand and looked around. "This is not right at all. The Orcs following us are just a small group. How could they mobilize so many Orcs from the Misty Mountains in a short period of time?"

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