The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"Can you give us a suggestion?" Bud pleaded.

"Join together." Zelin said to Bud. "To make an alliance with the elves, I will meet the dwarf legions that are rushing here, and let them join in. This is the best way and the only way. Not here. At that time, he was still surrounded by the lonely mountain, ready to go to war with the dwarves."

Bud was silent for a moment and nodded, "I will try my best to persuade Your Royal Highness Thrandil."

Compared with Zelin's side, Gandalf's persuasion of Thrandil seemed very unsatisfactory.

"When is my suggestion so insignificant?" Seemingly angry at the skeptical tone of the Elf King, Gandalf opened his eyes wide and asked in disbelief, "What do you think I am going to do?!"

"Of course it is to save your dwarf friend. Gandalf, I admire your loyalty to your dwarf friend." Thranduil filled the glass made of horn teeth with wine. "But you can't change the purpose of my coming here." . This happened because of you, and I am going to end it now."

"The dwarf does not intend to continue to detain your green leaves and white rocks." Zelin went to Gushan because he hoped that these people who were about to go to war because of gold would stop." You use some money, even symbolic coins, in exchange for your treasures."

"Luye Baishi is a treasure handed down from our family, how can we allow the dwarves to be so defiled!"

"Listen, Thranduil, has the treasure of the Lone Mountain also begun to affect you? How your words are like Thorin." Zelin raised his eyebrows. "When Thorin faced the Arken Diamond, so did he Say so."

"Don't compare me with these dwarves." Thranduil waved his hand sharply.

"The comparison is not in words, but in behavior." Zelin stretched out his finger and pressed down. "I think the dwarves will soon ship the first batch of gold. Anyway, I will go and meet the dwarves. Talking about it, Gandalf is right, a powerful army of orcs is coming here, we must resist them, unity is the only way out. I'm going to meet those dwarves, I hope they can be more rational ."

Thranduil walked aside, leaning on the back of the chair with one hand, took a sip of the wine in the other hand, "Tell Thorin, hand over the green leaves and white stones, and I will consider other things. Misrandi Er, the orcs you told me warned that I would consider that I would send scouts to the nearby wasteland to find the orcs. But, Misrandil, you might be able to tell me the army of orcs in your mouth. Where is it?"

Gandalf took a pipe in his hand and shook his head.

"I don't know."

Chapter 750 Iron Hills Dwarf

The demands of the human militia in River Valley have been fulfilled, and they have received the gold they need to rebuild their homeland. However, because the gate of the Lone Mountain was blocked by a wall of rubble, the dwarf could only use a rope to transport some gold down to indicate friendship. Thorin was still in the dragon's lair, perhaps hoping to find Arkenberg before the remaining gold was sent out. However, there is Bahrain on behalf of Sorin. It is not a troublesome thing to solve the rest. Bahrain is very wise and knows what to do now. He believed in the orc army that Gandalf had warned, and went to the east overnight to meet with the ironfoot army that was about to enter the wasteland.

"Solin used to let the magic crow living in the lone mountain inform Dyne that it was a bird living in the lone mountain and had been serving for the heirs of the Turin family for hundreds of years. Solin locked himself in the treasury and rode Going on the goat, I should be able to stop Dyne before he is ready to attack."

An old Bahrain rides on the goat mount commonly used by dwarves and rubs his waist. "Oh, I'm past the age of riding a goat."

"Don't you need me to go with you?"

Ze Lin stood on the hillside, looking at the valley gate in the distance. People are busy, transporting gold from Gushan to River Valley City, and the lit torch illuminates the whole road. The amount of gold is not much. The amount Zelin has seen in the treasure house is far less than the amount of gold that Thorin promised to Long Lake Town, but it has exceeded the amount of gold that many River Valley residents have seen. People in River Valley are celebrating tonight, celebrating that they have received so much gold, and many people have never seen it in their entire lives.

After meeting with Gandalf, Zelin felt much more relieved about his actions in this world. If he wants to establish contact with people in this world, he'd better choose to cooperate with people from Gandalf's camp, humans, elves, dwarves, and hobbits. In this case, it is naturally very important to deal with the relationship with the people here first. Although in this world he didn't see the extremely useful magic knowledge like Skyrim, this world was quite rich compared to the world of the Demon Hunter.

"But the elves here..."

"Don't worry, kind Bahrain." Just as Zelin was discussing with the dwarf, Gandalf walked from the side with a staff. "Thirandil is not a stubborn person. He understands that the beast is a threat. Convince Dan. Well, let him join, we can stop the orcs. We need the strength of everyone in the Gushan area. We must calm everyone down. The orcs are close at hand. If people can't unite, the orcs will win."

"I'll persuade Dan, I think it won't be more laborious than persuading Thorin."

"Dan is Thorin's cousin. After Thorin's brother died in a war with the orcs, he was Thorin's closest brother." Gandalf smoked a pipe. "Compared with Dan, I always think Thorin That's the one who is reasonable."

"But the dragon disease has changed Thorin. Dann hasn't come to the mountain yet, so there must be a lot of chance." Zelin is optimistic about the next thing. In fact, whether he can unite enough people with him. In comparison, the real worry is the next orc invasion. The demon hunter had seen what these orcs would do, and he could only be thankful that the portal did not bring him to the orcs' territory, otherwise his assessment of the world would be completely different from now.

When night fell, the wasteland became more and more cold, and the snow that fell from time to time in the sky intensified the chill. The dwarf goat has good endurance and is very suitable for running in places full of rugged rocks, and even running on hillsides without stress. It's a pity that the demon hunter can't use to summon Avak. No matter where it is, the skeleton horse with the blue ghost fire on its body can't be related to the two words of kindness and justice. At least in appearance.

"Sorin promised me that he would not become his grandfather." Bahrain, who was riding on the goat mount, looked downcast. "Tell me, wizard, is this really terrible? No matter who it is, everyone will fall into it. Is it a curse to extricate yourself?"

"You understand dragon disease, Bahrain, mental disease."

Gandalf's warning reminded Zelin a lot. He said that poisonous snakes breed in the gold of Gushan, and the dragon disease will curse anyone who comes close to Gushan. Does this curse only affect Thorin, or is almost everyone affected unknowingly? The mayor of Long Lake Town, Alfred, and the elves who came for the green leaves and white stones, the human militias armed for gold, not to mention the dwarves, it seems that after entering the solitary mountain, it is better to keep the treasures after returning to the country. Important.

If the dwarves really want to rebuild the kingdom in Irub, they will not be stupid enough to fight with the two races near Irub at the same time. Just like when Francesca built Hundred Flower Valley, even if the relationship with the surrounding northern countries was worse, she would not summon the soldiers of Hundred Flower Valley to attack other human kingdoms.

Even after the Demon Hunter came to Long Lake Town and heard the story of the Lonely Mountain Treasure, he also had the idea to explore the Lonely Mountain.

The evil of gold?

Shaking his head, the oncoming cold wind made Zelin come back to his senses again.

"If Thorin understands his responsibilities as the king of the mountain, he will wake up."

"...Bilbo, he must have given you something, right." Bahrain lowered his eyebrows. "Our little hobbit brother asked me what would happen if Thorin got a diamond. I don't know. The dwarves can't do it anymore. Gold has lost everything. We have established residences in many places. Without gold, we can still regain glory. I believe you, wizard, you can definitely handle all of this. Don’t let disasters fall on us again."

"Bahrain, you have paid a lot for the dwarf. But don't worry, it's just...a little trouble." Zelin widened his eyes and made a reassuring gesture. "When Thorin is back to normal, I might still pay. I want to visit Iruba after everything is over."

There are still a few horses in River Valley City, all of which were brought by elves, because horses were not suitable for raising horses near the lonely mountain. Only the elves of the woodland kingdom still have some mounts. The wind direction in the wasteland changed, a westerly wind blew in the sky, and a dark and gloomy atmosphere filled the air. Bahrain knew Dan's marching route. Under his leadership, Zelin soon saw the camp of the Dwarf Ironfoot Army in the valley not far from the lonely mountain, a camp that stretched for hundreds of meters.

And in the camp, the strong dwarf with fiery red hair and many braids.

The son of Nairn, Dyne.

Chapter 751 Dyne's Iron Foot

There are at least five hundred dwarves in this camp. Each dwarf wears a knee-length chain mail, and the one below the knee is covered with steel ring armor. Zelin has not seen the Iron Hills with his own eyes, but these hundreds of dwarves armed with iron armor to their teeth can prove that there must be an iron mine near the iron hills, and the dwarves there master superb forging techniques. The whole body of iron armor did not make these dwarves' actions seem bloated and inconvenient. Armor that has both defensive power and flexibility is rare.

With Bahrain in, negotiations with the dwarven guards have become much easier. Bahrain's status among dwarves is not low, and many dwarves know him. They heard a loud shout coming from the tent before they walked to Dyne's tent under the leadership of the dwarf guard.

"Bahrain! Long time no see!"

This is a dwarf with eye-catching red hair. The hair is neatly combed into many braids and placed on the chest and shoulders. Only the white color at the roots of the hair indicates that the dwarf is not young anymore. Now, it may be longer than the years experienced by the Demon Hunter.

"May your beard never fall off, Bahrain, let us come in and talk. The lads of the Iron Hill are all ready. As long as Thorin needs, we can immediately bring two days of dry food, just one night. Hurry to the bottom of the lone mountain and let the wicked people who surround our home see the dwarf's axe."

"The situation has changed. That's why I rushed here." Bahrain rubbed the bumpy waist on the goat's back. "We have more trouble."

"Let's come in and talk." Dyne patted Bahrain on the shoulder, then looked at the demon hunter on the side. "What's the matter with this human, Bahrain? Let him wait outside and we come in. Thorin's crow told me, Humans and elves are going to grab gold together? You should find some news to me, I know that sooner or later the treasure of the Lone Mountain will attract peepers! Elves, humans, and the craftsmen of the Iron Hills have prepared some good things, prepare Surprise them."

"But the situation has changed, Dyne." Bahrain took a heavy breath. "Our real enemy is here. Now, this is our ally. I brought him here to better explain the situation to you."

The tent is very simple, only blankets. These dwarves are all wearing armor, even when they are resting, they just take off their helmets. Some packages were placed near each tent, and Zelin guessed that it was probably their own food. The demon hunter also noticed that there are many goats and chariots in the camp. Obviously there is a cavalry unit in this dwarf army. As for the remaining things like ballistas, when humans and elves have no cavalry, Fighting on the plains, this thing is very lethal.

Dein of Iron Hills was definitely not a temporary reinforcement, he was obviously ready for war.

"Wait, Bahrain, we are here in a hurry to meet Thorin, but these humans and elves stand in front of us, and now you tell me these humans have become our allies?" Dyne sat on the blanket , Clutching his beard, "What the **** is Thorin doing? Could it be that he has solved humans and elves? Why hasn't he sent a crow to reply to me? I have been waiting for his news."

There is only one candle in the tent, and the light is very weak. The tent is made of thick felt wool, which is very suitable for use in the great wasteland in winter. These dwarves with amazing endurance carry a lot of supplies, even if it is a long-term confrontation, the iron-footed army will not be disadvantaged. The demon hunter has good hearing, he can hear the conversation in the tent. Moreover, the dwarf lord named Dyne did not deliberately lower his voice.

"Because our real enemy is here, the orcs, and the wizards have brought us a warning. The orcs in the north rushed from under the wasteland and are preparing to take the lone mountain."

Although Gandalf could not prove his warning was correct, no one saw the orc army nearby. Thousands of heavily armed soldiers were walking on the wasteland, unable to hide from anyone's eyes. However, no one found any traces of the orcs. Even so, Bahrain believed Gandalf's warning.

But it was because of Gandalf's warning that everything became abnormal. A large army is near the lone mountain, but there is no trace. Perhaps one or two orcs, even a hundred orcs, can hide themselves with the help of shadows and rocks, just like they do in the dense forest, but thousands The soldier had to make Zelin wonder what the orcs were planning. This feels like facing the invisible little fog demon, not knowing where the enemy will attack from is the worst.

"Orcs..." Dyne was silent for a while, and then slowly said, "We have taught these orcs well in Moria, we can teach them again! This is the place of dwarves, let us put those elves and humans Drive away, enter the lone mountain, and discuss together **** any orcs who dared to approach the lone mountain! Thorin chopped off Azog's right hand using weapons in Moria. His son Polger couldn't gather many troops. We can Smash all of them in one go!"

Zelin continued to stand near the camp, looking at the dwarf camp. Although the number of these dwarves is less than that of the elves, judging from the various tools of warfare, the dwarves know how to use these chariots and goats to gain an advantage for themselves. There are large crossbow arrows hung on the chariot, and sharp blades are on both sides of the chariot. Several such battlefields rush into the crowd, and the dwarves can tear the formation of humans and elves into several segments. If it wasn't for the several dwarves nearby who kept staring at the Demon Hunter with a bad face, Zelin didn't want to cause trouble, otherwise he would like to take a good look at these war tools.

Of course, it is purely personal.

"No, Dyne, it is Azog the Destroyer. We have the definite news that Azog led the orcs in the North. Its legion is marching towards the Lonely Mountain, and we must keep what it takes from the dragon at all costs. Homeland. Dyne, you participated in the battle of Moria. If there were only dwarves, we would lose too many compatriots."
