Chapter 49 Battle of the High Pass

Finally escaped from the Goblin Kingdom, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, especially the sky is approaching noon, and this strong sunlight can completely force the Goblins to retreat into their dark caves.

It's safe!

"So what to do now? Master Ronan jumped out of the abyss, and we never met him again."

Gandalf carefully counted the number of people and said, "Now it's just Ronan and our Hobbits. Fortunately, everyone is still there, so wait a little longer."

At this moment, Ronan and Bilbo made a brilliant appearance, "I think you don't have to wait anymore, how about setting out now?"

"Master Ronan!"

"Bilbo!"

"It's really great to see you two!"

Gandalf smiled all over his face. Now, he was completely together.

Thorin also breathed a sigh of relief in secret, but the arrogant dwarf king still got angry at Bilbo, which made Bilbo not in a good mood.

Ronan comforted him from behind, "It's okay, he is actually thinking about you, but I think how vicious his mouth is now will be when he apologizes with a wave of his mouth."

"Really?" Bilbo was actually a little worried about crying. He told me to shine my heart on the moon, but the moon shines on the ditch. A man in his forties is still unable to manage his emotions.

"Don't forget, don't you still have a ring?"

"But you said that thing is harmful."

"Yes, it's harmful, but it's still much worse than life danger."

Thorin took out the map in his arms, carefully compared the landmark, and said, "Look, it seems that there is Lone Mountain over there. We are here! We are here! We are here! We are here! We are here!"

"Oh roar!" The dwarves jumped happily.

Thorin was still more steady and poured cold water on everyone: "But we have to find a way to go back to the main road now. There is no sign of this trail on our map, so it is probably the Goblins stepped on here."

"Yes, although we have passed the Mist Mountains now, we are still in the mountainous areas. We can't get much far in a day, especially on the road of this quality."

Gandalf observed the nearby terrain and pointed to the mountains and rivers in the northeast and said, "Look there, it is the Anduin River, the small spire over there... it is the Carl Rock, which means we have not deviated too much. I think we are not too far from the main road, so we all look for it, and look south and north."

The dwarves scattered all over the place, and half an hour later, the old Bahrain first found the road, and then the group finally returned to where they knew.

"Let's go, we'd better get out of this mountain area before tonight. It's too steep and even the supply is not easy to find. After going down the mountain and entering the valley, we will camp again."

Gandalf agreed with this idea: "Yes, the Goblins dare not follow the main road and chase it too far."

After walking out of the high pass, you will arrive on a brand new road.

This road is called Old Millennium Road. In fact, it is not counted at the moment, because only the one that goes deep into the dark forest is the real Old Millennium Road, but it is not much different, because even if East and West Avenue ends at Rivendell, there must be no name here.

According to legend, this road was built by the dwarves. At that time, they frequently traveled between Kasatum and Gushan. Who would have thought that in the years that Kasatum became Moria and occupied by the flame demon and the orcs, while Gushan was captured by a flying dragon.

Only this old jungle road is silently telling the stories of the dwarves.

Follow it all the way east, and after passing the old ferry, you will be able to reach the home of the brown robed wizard Ladagast whom they met that day, but he must not be at home now.

Just when everyone thought the crisis had just passed, they heard the orcs' howls of wolfs again that night, and it was indeed getting denser and closer.

"This is not the voice of the Goblins. The Goblins have no wolves at all!" Duvalin quickly asked the Night Watch to extinguish the fire.

Gandalf no longer felt sleepy and smoked tobacco one after another. Because he was worried about being exposed, he also covered the Mars of the tobacco pot with his robe.

"This is the Gundabad Orcs, and they have not given up tracing us yet."

"Do we want to leave now?" Thorin stood in front of Gandalf. He suffered a great loss before and can't ignore Gandalf now.

"It's useless. Generally, such a situation means that our future path is about to be blocked by them. There is no chance to walk the main road. Let's go to the mountains!"

"But Master Ronan is still sleeping!"

Thorin waved his hand: "Press him up and run!"

Ronan, who woke up from his dream, said: "...Ah? I dreamed that I was flying! Do it!"

After a while, the howling of wolves around them drown the darkness behind them.

Just like humans, there will be subspecies like the Hobbit, and elves are divided into Nodo elves, Vanya elves, and Sindda elves. The orcs also have many subspecies.

When the orc race first appeared on this land, the orcs were very thin at the beginning, and were full of various weaknesses. However, the great demon king Mogoth was not discouraged. He continued to improve on this basis, and then the branch of the orcs in the north appeared, which were divided into two categories.

The Gundabad Orcs are a branch of the northern orcs. They use a mountain in their living area as the name of their own group. They are usually tall and characterized by taming a wolf as their partner. Moreover, the blasphemer Azog, the mortal enemy of Thorin, is a leader of the Gundabad Orcs, and their position is the orcs.

On the mountains, there are many stones and the road is very rugged and difficult to walk. No matter how good the two legs of humans are, they are not as fast as those of wolves. What's more, wolves have a developed sense of smell. Neither dwarves nor Gandalf took a bath, and their strong body odor was also an important factor.

In short, the expedition team was finally left with the deliberate orcs, because they had been forced to a cliff.

Orc Governor Azog appeared proudly and then caught everyone up the tree.

Ronan whispered to Gandalf: "Why don't you call your reinforcements here quickly?"

Gandalf: "How easy is it? But now it seems that it's time."

So the old man buckled the moth with a staff, then put it at his mouth and used a secret command, and then released it away.

"Cool, moth man! How can I teach me?"

Gandalf didn't understand what the 'moth accent' is, but he could feel people's emotions and judged that Ronan's words were not swearing, and explained: "This is not a moth accent. Every substance and every life in the Alda world was created by Vera. If you communicate with them in Vera's language, you can naturally help you accomplish something."

Ronan pointed to Azog: "Does that thing over there work?"

Gandalf's expression suddenly became cold: "Even Vera's people can do anything about it."

In fact, neither Ronan nor Gandalf had any expression on finding out that Azog was not dead yet, but the dwarves were so excited, especially Thorin.

His name is Thorin Oak Shield. Thorin is his real name and has no surname. When the Middle-earth people introduce themselves, they call their names directly. Then the family symbol of surnames directly says that they are XXX's son and XX's grandson.

For example, this Magistrate Thorin is the son of Thorin, Serroyn and the grandson of Sorrol.

This oak shield is actually his nickname. When they were driven out of the Gushan Mountain, they once wanted to recover the original capital of the dwarves, Kasatum, which was later known as Moria, the Dark Fracture.

So they summoned the dwarf princes as the dwarf king to form a coalition force to carry out this regaining operation. At that time, the orc commander Azog, who occupied the dungeon.

The two sides launched an epic battle in the Hazanubiza Valley, the main gate of Moria, and they fought a loss.

At the beginning, the powerful orc commander Azog killed Thorin's grandfather, the dwarf king and the leader of the coalition in this battle, and this move gave the orcs a huge advantage.

The dwarves retreated step by step. As the prince's grandson, Thorin charged on the front line. In order to defend the king's corpse, he challenged the blasphemer Azog with a shield alone, and was smashed by Azog in the battle. At this most dangerous moment, Thorin picked up a broken oak from his feet as a shield to block Azog's attack, and then took the opportunity to cut off the pale orc's arm.

So Wang Sun Solin successfully led the dwarves to stabilize the front. After the two sides exchanged a wave of commanders, the dwarves regained the upper hand. Then Solin led the coalition forces to win, but it was just a miserable victory.

This battle destroyed the family of the Tulin Changju clan, and they no longer had the confidence to regain the city where the flame demon lived, so they continued to move westward and arrived at Blue Mountain to live.

The name of Thorin's oak shield was spread after this battle, and it was precisely because of this battle that Thorin became the common leader in the hearts of all dwarves.

Therefore, the death of the blasphemer Azog is a proof of Thorin's achievements, but now that the pale orc appears in front of them, how can Thorin not be angry?

"Azog! I didn't expect that you guy is not dead yet?" Thorin roared.

The pale orc Azog sat on his wolf and smiled: "Sorin Oak Shield? It's been a long time since we met, but you're going to die here today! Just like your grandpa, your father!"

"This is really not necessarily! If you can appear here, it must be a chance given by God, so that I will kill you once!"

"Just be stubborn!" Azog raised his broken left hand and pointed at Thorin, "That belongs to me, kill everyone else!"

So the orcs rode their wolves to attack the trees under everyone's feet.

The soil layer near the cliff is already weak and has to withstand the impact and biting of orcs and wolf people, and soon becomes increasingly unstable.

"Be careful!" Bilbo almost fell down without standing firmly, but fortunately he had a handful of companions.

So they stayed as low as possible, but in this way the wolves could jump up and bite their feet, and then they returned to the top of the tree.

Finally, the pine tree under their feet had too much weight that it should not bear at its age. After a wolf's attack, it fell to the edge of the cliff. Fortunately, there were other trees supporting it.
