Start with the Lord of the Rings

The night is getting darker.

A crescent moon came out of the dark clouds at some point.

The hazy moonlight quietly enveloped the earth.

In the town of River Valley.

Brightly lit.

An entire army of elves, plus four to five hundred surviving refugees from Long Lake Town, temporarily lived in a location centered on the town hall square and scattered around.

At this time, there were bonfires burning everywhere, and the surviving refugees who were cooking by the bonfire, eating food, chatting and training.

The cold wind blew across the town hall square.

The training sound kept coming from the wind.

It was the town guards who survived in the original Changhu Town who were teaching the surviving residents to train.

Before today, the four to five hundred surviving residents had never had any weapons. They were all ordinary residents like boatmen and fishermen.

Now I have some training.

At least it is enough for these residents to have the right weapons, and not to weaken their legs on the battlefield.

In the center of the town hall square, two tall and one short figures are walking out of the golden king's tent behind them.

These three are naturally Morgan, Gandalf, and Bilbo who slipped out of the Lonely Mountain not long ago.

Just in the elf tent.

During the quarrel between Gandalf and the Elf King Thranduil who had a prejudice against Gandalf.

Bilbo appeared suddenly, and then under the eyes of everyone, he took out the rare treasure of the dwarf, Aken Gem.

He also bluntly offered the gems and let the wizard king Thrandil and the dragon-slayer warrior Bud exchange the necessary treasures with Thorin Oak Shield.

Everyone present was really moved.

Facing such a rare treasure, it is easy to say that it is possible to keep one's heart, but there are too few people who can do it.

What's more, Bilbo even took it out as a gift, just to save Thorin Oak Shield and the stubborn dwarves who were suffering from the dragon disease. It was really emotional.

Finally, facing Bilbo's request, and treasures such as Akon Gems.

How could Thranduil and Budd disagree.

Bud stayed in the tent of the royal court and continued to discuss the matter of dealing with the dwarves tomorrow.

Morgan walked out with Gandalf and Bilbo.

"You have a good rest tonight and leave early tomorrow morning."

After leaving the elf's golden tent, Gandalf looked at Bilbo beside him and said.

Bilbo was stunned, as if he hadn't heard Gandalf's words clearly and asked, "What?"

Gandalf continued: "The farther you get out of here, the better."

After finally hearing what Gandalf said, Bilbo shook his head quickly and said, "No..."

"I won't go."

"You chose me as the fourteenth member of the team. I can't leave my friends at this time..."

"there is none left!"

Gandalf interrupted Bilbo and continued: "There are no more partners to speak of."

He shook his head: "I don't dare to imagine what Thorin would do after he discovered what he did."

Bilbo stopped immediately and looked at Gandalf and said seriously: "I am not afraid of Thorin!"

Gandalf turned his head and looked at Bilbo solemnly: "Then you should be afraid."

"Don't underestimate the evil of gold, especially gold that has been entrenched by evil dragons for a long time."

Gandalf looked at Bilbo slowly and said in a deep voice: "Everyone who approaches this mountain will be affected by a certain degree of dragon disease in their hearts, and no one is immune."

"Bilbo wants to stay, so let him stay..."

At this moment, Morgan, who was silent on the side, suddenly said, "As long as you don't go back to the mountain."

When Morgan opened his mouth, the two of them looked over immediately.

Bilbo looked happy.

Gandalf looked at Morgan in confusion. He didn't understand that the next Lonely Mountain would be very dangerous, and Morgan asked Bilbo to stay.

"Are you still afraid that the two of us won't be able to protect Bilbo?"

Morgan looked at Gandalf's puzzled eyes and smiled, and continued: "How could Bilbo leave at this time."

Speaking of Bilbo who looked to the side, Bilbo looked at Morgan's eyes as expected, "You still understand me."

"Also, although the expedition team is disbanded, we are still there."

"Partners didn't disappear, they just became friends, good friends."

Morgan's voice fell, and Bilbo quickly took over and looked at Gandalf and said: "Morgan is right. I don't want to leave my friends. I don't want to leave at this time."

Gandalf looked at Bilbo, and then at Morgan. The two combined to say this, what else could he do.

"That's all right."

"But as Morgan said, Bilbo, if you want to stay, then don't go back to that mountain."

Gandalf sighed.

At this moment, there was a loud hunger sound in Bilbo's stomach.

Bilbo blushed.

Morgan immediately smiled: "It seems that our Mr. Snitch is still hungry."

"Let's go, it's so late to have a supper together."

When the voice fell, Morgan suddenly saw a figure in pitch black not far away, and immediately shouted, "Iford."

Iford, who was arrogantly facing a certain resident, immediately shook his body when he heard the sound, and quickly turned his head and ran to Morgan respectfully, "What do you want?"

"Go, get something to eat, for four."

"One more bottle of wine, the one that hasn't been touched."

"Get it to my place..."

Morgan looked at Iford and asked, "Do you know where I live now?"

Iford nodded quickly: "I know, of course I do."

Morgan waved: "Go ahead, move faster."

Iford left soon.

Morgan took Gandalf and Bilbo to the city hall promenade.

His latest residence was in a smaller, spire-shaped house not far from Bud’s current residence.

There are four people living in Bud's family, and no matter how good the relationship is, he doesn't live much better.

Besides, there are many houses around. Morgan asked Bud's daughters Xuege and Tilda to help him clean up a house during the day.

Although not sure how long he will stay in the valley.

But Bud is now the mayor of River Valley.

In the future, River Valley Town will definitely prosper.

At this time, you will not lose money after choosing a good house.

Morgan led the two into the empty house.

The three of them worked together, and soon a bonfire was raised in the center of the room.

Before long, Iford brought the two of them with a bunch of food.

He himself is holding a pot of wood spirits to aid the people in River Valley during the day.

Iford and the two residents left soon.

Morgan looked at the food all over the floor and the big bottle of wine.

I sigh in my heart that privileges always exist.

Although this is nothing to him now.

But for all the residents of Hegu Town who have nothing to do with nothing, it is definitely a luxury for three people to eat so much.

But Morgan is not hypocritical.

He thought about tomorrow if the Orcs would invade River Valley Town as in the memory plot.

He would kill more orcs and save more residents.

Thinking of this, Morgan immediately felt relieved, and began to have a barbecue with Gandalf Bilbo.

The cold wind howled outside the window.

Bonfire in the window, food, wine, plus two friends.

This evening, Morgan and Gandalf Bilbo had a very pleasant conversation.

Only early the next morning.

When Morgan got up and looked at the small empty bed in the house, he sighed secretly.

"Why didn't you see Bilbo?"

At this time, Gandalf's voice came from behind.

Then Gandalf also saw the empty bed.

"Where is Bilbo?"

Gandalf frowned immediately.

Morgan reached out his hand and touched the already cold bedding, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I've already gone back to the mountain opposite."

Gandalf immediately became angry: "He is really disobedient."

Morgan just shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's this Bilbo that we like, isn't it."

"Let's go, Thorin won't be better today."

"How can we not let him hurt Bilbo."

Morgan said he turned and walked towards the door.

Opening the door, the icy air immediately pounced on him, making him feel awake.

The deserted small garden is pure white, covered with thick snow.

Snowing.

The first snow since the beginning of winter in Hegu Town finally came down.

Morgan and Gandalf walked out quickly.

When we came to the wide square of the City Hall, there was a hot scene on the square.

A large number of residents are gathering together.

Apart from about one-third of the residents holding the rusty, temporarily polished old weapons in the weapons warehouse in River Valley Town.

Most of the remaining residents held various farm tools such as modified harpoons, sickles, and axes.

There is not even a piece of armor such as leather armor, helmet, etc.

All the residents wear various thick winter clothes.

Bud was gathering the team at this time.

Seeing Morgan Gandalf arrived and greeted the two of them.

"How about it?"

Morgan came to Bud and asked.

"What else..."

"We are missing too many things."

"I hope everything goes well today."

Bud looked at the residents who had gathered in front of him and turned their heads and said to Morgan.

Morgan nodded: "It can only be so."

Both of them knew in their hearts that today's main force was the army of elves from the dark dense forest.

However, the residents seemed to know that there were only a dozen dwarfs hiding behind the door.

So morale is very good.

Soon, the team was assembled.

Bud and Morgan Gandalf walked out of River Valley with a group of residents behind them.

At this time, outside of River Valley Town.

The Elf King Thranduil wore a silver exquisite armor and was stern on the body of a huge horned deer.

Behind him, is uniformly dressed in pale golden armor, and a densely ordered army of elves is waiting.

They are waiting.

Finally, when Bard and Morgan led the River Valley town motley army appeared at the gate of River Valley Town.

Thranduil, sitting high on the huge horned deer, waved his hand, and the whole army of elves immediately moved forward slowly towards the gate of the lone mountain.

The great wheel of war began to roll.

It's sunny after the snow.

When the light group from the east rises to the sky.

The first golden sun shines on the earth.

Outside the gate of the Lone Mountain of the Kingdom of the Mountain, the elven army was in several square formations, neatly arranged in an amazing manner.

Tall city wall.

The dwarves who sensed that the army outside had all gathered on the wall early.

In the army below.

The elf king Thranduil riding a huge horned deer and Bud riding a white horse walked slowly in front of the army.

On the wall, Thorin Oak Shield, wearing mighty armor and a golden crown on his head, immediately raised his longbow and shot an arrow out.

"boom..."

The arrow bounced off the rocky ground in front of Thrandil.

The dwarves on the wall immediately cheered.

Thranduil looked at the cheering dwarves with ugly faces above him and was immediately upset.

Just raised his hand.

The elves behind them immediately opened their bows, drew arrows, and took arrows, aiming at the dwarves above.

The movements are neat and uniform, complete in one go, and very beautiful.

Aiming before facing the attack of the elven army below.

The cheers of the dwarves on the city wall immediately went out, except for Thorin Oak Shield, who was still holding a long bow, and the other dwarves immediately bowed and hid behind the huge stone wall.

Looking at the dwarf above, Thranduil sneered and raised his hand again.

A group of elves behind them immediately collected their bows and arrows, and their movements were uniform and tidy.

This made Morgan, who was standing in the middle of the Elven Army with Gandalf, sighed in front of the miscellaneous army of River Valley Town.

Unexpectedly, in Middle-earth, you can actually see a neatly-moved army comparable to the parade of celestial flower growers in the previous life, or even worse.

You must know that these elves are on such a battlefield.

Can make those actions at any time.

That's how long practice and strict discipline are needed to train a natural response.

It's amazing.

Morgan stood in the army and watched quietly.

Front of the army.

Thranduil looked at Thorin Oak Shield on the tall city wall in front of him and said coldly: "I am here to tell you that we have received compensation for the debts and promises you owed."

Hearing the words of the Elf King, Thorin Oak Shield frowned slightly, and immediately said, "What are you talking about?"

"What compensation?"

"I didn't give you anything!"

"You got nothing!"

Thorin Oak Shield looked at the Elf King below and shouted coldly.

Thranduil didn't talk nonsense with him, and looked directly at Bud on the side.

Bud immediately stretched out his arms and took out the huge, brilliantly colored dreamy gems.

At this moment, all the dwarves on the wall were stunned after seeing the gems in the human Bud's hands.

"what is that?"

"It's so beautiful, it looks familiar..."

"Idiot, that is the gem of Akon, a heritage treasure of our family!"

"Oh my God, it's Arkansam,..."

"That's the king's gem..."

"How can the Arken Stone be in their hands!"

"They must have stolen from us~www.readwn.com~you **** thieves!"

"..."

The dwarves burst out immediately, yelling at the dazzling gems in the human hands below.

Bud looked at the anxious dwarves above with a smile and said, "This is indeed the king's gem."

"The king under the mountain can also get it..."

Bud said that he stuffed the Arkenberg into his arms, and looked at the dwarf above and said with a solemn expression: "But..."

"Prior to this, the king has to fulfill his own promise!"

After Bud finished speaking, he looked at the dwarf on the wall with cold eyes.

Thorin Oakenshield's gaze has been following the movement of the Arken Stone in Bud's hand.

At this time the gemstone disappeared, and finally reacted, looking at Bud below, shook his head and said, "You liars!"

"Despicable Liar!"

"The Arken Stone has always been in the mountains behind me!"

"Don't you want to lie to me!"

Thorin Oak Shield shouted angrily at the two below.

"They didn't lie to you..."

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang.

Bilbo walked out from behind, looked at Thorin Oak Shield and continued, "This is not a scam."

"The gem is real"

"I gave them."

The voice fell, and the whole city wall became quiet for an instant.

At this moment, in the army below, Morgan immediately took off the longbow and arrows on his back, and pointed the arrow at the tall city wall in the distance.
