Allen, who is riding a horse and dressed as a ranger, is currently investigating the situation around the road. His duty is to be a scout and he has this part of the responsibility.
In fact, the road from Shire to Bree is very safe, which does not mean that the dark forces are not interested here.
It's because of the existence of the Northern Rangers here. They silently guard this paradise and protect the humans and hobbits living here from the threats of evil minions.
They belong to the Númenor clan. After the fall of the Kingdom of Arthedain, their leader, in order to preserve his limited power, no longer claimed his status as king, but called himself the patriarch.
Subsequently, the clan leader did not re-establish a gathering point for his own clan, but took the remaining clan members and became a wandering nation that traveled through Eriador.
If Allen remembers correctly, most of them should be living in the area between Cangquan River and Xiangshui River at this time, which should be called Hejiao Land, located in the south of the valley.
As for who is leading this force at this time, Allen does not know, and there is no relevant record in his memory.
What Allen knows clearly is that their current clan member, the son of Arazon II, is also the future Emperor of the People, King Elessa.
This ten-year-old boy, as the adopted son of Lord Elrond, is now receiving shelter in Rivendell. His elf name is Estel.
Of course, he will have more names in the future, such as "Strider", who is better known to the people of the Shire, or Aragorn, who shined during the War of the Ring.
Estaire should leave the Glen when he is twenty years old. Perhaps during this journey, Allen will have the opportunity to meet this boy who will surely be great in the future and form a good relationship.
In fact, during his investigation, Allen occasionally discovered traces of Aragon's tribesmen, the Northern Rangers.
But obviously, this team consisting of thirteen dwarves, two humans, and one hobbit did not arouse their interest.
Yes, Bilbo Baggins eventually participated in this expedition. Alan had considerable confidence in the hobbit.
Alan actually couldn't imagine how the inner thoughts of this newly adult Hobbit had changed.
He could only speculate that what played a role in this matter, besides Bilbo Baggins' kindness, was Gandalf's extremely powerful "human trafficking" ability.
In any case, when the hobbit caught up with the contract, Allen breathed a sigh of relief. After all, fate is unpredictable.
After a smooth journey, the expedition team arrived at Bree within a few days. They did not stop here, but after replenishing some supplies, they set off on the east-west road to the Misty Mountains.
In fact, this journey was far from dangerous. Apart from a few trail-cutting thieves hiding in the dark who were still caught and killed by Allen, there were no surprises.
But even if there is no danger, this journey is far from comfortable, especially for hobbits.
Alan could see Bilbo Baggins' discomfort, and Alan was thinking that the hobbit might already miss his comfortable Bag End.
But Alan did not take extra care of the hobbit. Alan knew that Mr. Baggins had to adapt to this kind of life, and he would definitely adapt.
However, taking risks, although you will see beautiful scenery on the road and leave thrilling stories at the end, most of the time, it is just a boring rush and rush. Occasionally, it will happen that no one is happy.
Love the surprise.
This day was already the seventh day since the expedition team left Bree Town. Everyone was camping on a piece of flat land next to the cliff.
This place was chosen well. It is spacious and can accommodate the expedition team's personnel, horses and salutes. It also has only one passage, making it particularly easy to defend and very safe.
But sitting by the campfire, Allen always felt that something was wrong.
He always felt that he was a little frightened, but for a while, he couldn't figure out what was wrong, so he kept thinking.
Soon, several strange sounds came from far away, startling the hobbits who were quietly feeding their horses.
Bilbo Baggins, who lacked adventure experience, became nervous instantly and quickly asked everyone what the sound was.
After all, the two young men, Kili and Fili, were very young. They wanted to tease the nervous Mr. Baggins and began to tell them about the horrors of orcs.
Then they were quickly reprimanded by Thorin Oakenshield. Maybe Kili and Fili were too young and had not experienced many things. Their hatred for orcs only stayed on the surface, not like those who were older.
The dwarves, their hatred is so unforgettable.
Even some of the dwarves here had participated in the Battle of Moria, and soon Mr. Balin began to talk about the situation during that battle.
This familiar scene finally made Alan think about what he was worried about.
It was on this night that the expedition team was discovered by several wolf cavalry, and not long after, they were pursued endlessly by Azog.
Thinking of this, Allen knew that he was already slow, because Thorin Oakenshield was already standing on the edge of the cliff showing off.
In order not to alert possible enemies, Allen quietly greeted Qili, who was good at using bows and arrows, and raised the Noldor compound bow in his hand. Qili clearly understood what Allen meant and took out his own
Bow and arrow, followed Allen.
Everyone who was awake also noticed the strangeness of Allen and Qili, and they all looked at Allen questioningly.
Allen motioned for them to be quiet, and then led Kili quietly to a tree on the edge of the cliff.
He cautiously poked his head and looked towards the forest on the other side of the cliff, searching for enemies who might have appeared.
With just one glance, Allen, with the help of the moonlight, saw two dark shadows on the opposite side.
Those were the two wolf cavalry who were watching here. Even though it was dark now, they were still one or two hundred meters away from here.
But Allen can be sure that Thorin Oakenshield's whereabouts have been exposed.
In order to avoid the next situation, Allen prepared to shoot the two scum on the opposite side, but he didn't know whether Qili's skills could complete such a sniper kill.
No matter what, he could only give it a try. Allen motioned to Qili to kill the one on the left while he killed the one on the right.
After determining the target, Allen and Qili quickly ducked out from behind the tree and quickly shot two arrows towards the opposite side.
Allen's first arrow accurately hit one of the riders, and the other rider was also shot by Kili.
Immediately afterwards, Allen's next arrow hit the warg that had just reacted. The warg fell to the ground, and although the other one was also hit by Kili's arrow, it did not die, but rushed in crazily.
In the woods.
Seeing this, Allen knew that Azog still wanted to know the whereabouts of his group.
The actions of Allen and Kili, as well as the wails of the orcs and wargs on the other side of the cliff, alarmed everyone in the camp.
Allen and Kili were very focused just now, so they didn't interrupt. At this time, the matter was over, and everyone asked them what they had discovered.
At this time, Allen said with an annoyed face: "Those are two wolf cavalry. I think they have discovered Thorin. Originally, I wanted to kill them with Kili, but a warg still escaped."
As he spoke, Allen mounted his horse, preparing to go over there to check out the situation, and also try to catch up with the warg that was lassoed in the forest.
Thorin ordered Kili, Fili, Gloin, and Dwalin to follow him. The others stayed here, but Gandalf still followed.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the place where the wolf cavalry died. Lying on the ground were two dead orcs and a dead warg. There was a pool of blood on the ground extending into the distance. This must be the one who was shot.
Warg.
Allen ignored the others who were looking at the body and talking in low voices.
He rode his horse and chased after him along the blood trail, but the blood trail quickly disappeared. Allen had no choice but to return to the camp.
At this time, all the members of the expedition team gathered around the campfire. They seemed to be discussing something. When Alan approached, he heard Gandalf losing his temper.
Because at this time the team has been discovered by the Wolf Cavalry, and Thorin Oakenshield still carries Azog's bounty on his body, which means that the entire team is now very dangerous.
Therefore, Gandalf strongly advocated that the team should rush to Rivendell as soon as possible to seek short-term shelter and get help from Lord Elrond there.
After all, not many people in the entire Middle Earth can understand the words on that map.
However, this idea was not approved by Thorin Oakenshield, who was extremely unwilling to have any entanglements with the elves.
Now, he just arranged for more people to participate in the security work and asked everyone to take time to rest. Starting from tomorrow, the team will speed up the journey.
This made Gandalf very angry. The old man complained to Allen about the dwarves' stubbornness almost the whole night. What could Allen say? Allen could only complain and reluctantly took a nap.
In the next few days, the expedition team changed their previous leisurely attitude and rushed towards the trip. Since this was Bilbo's first experience of wild life, it seemed particularly hard for him.
Faced with this unexpected situation, Alan, who felt a little guilty, reached out to Bilbo many times for help.
Fortunately, until the expedition team crossed the final bridge, Allen did not find any trace of the orcs during the investigation. Of course, Allen also understood that it was just that the time had not come yet.
Along the way, Gandalf and Thorin Oakenshield had another quarrel.
Gandalf still proposed to go to Rivendell, but Thorin still refused, and the two ended up having a quarrel. In the end, the two men stopped talking to each other.
Allen had nothing to do about this situation. He could only fulfill his duties as a scout, and then try to stay as far away from Gandalf as possible when sleeping at night.
Until one day, when Alan was scouting on the edge of a forest, he discovered an abandoned village. He knew that he had arrived at the territory of the trolls.
In the movie, there are three rock trolls living here, who were driven down from Ettenmoor.
Allen speculated that they were not being driven away, but were trying to escape. The three trolls named William, Tom, and Bert probably escaped because they did not want to be enslaved by the Gondbad Mountain orcs.
Their destructive power was so powerful that in a very short period of time, these three guys ate up all the humans near them, and also attacked passing merchants.
So Allen wanted to kill them during this expedition, not only for the three weapons in their cave, but also to prevent them from continuing to harm travelers passing by.
Moreover, Allen actually only has this chance, and it will be difficult for him to come to Eriador again in the future.
No matter what, Allen must take advantage of dawn to find the troll's cave first, and then persuade Gandalf and the dwarves to work together to kill the three trolls who caused trouble.
After all, Alan and Gandalf are not alone at this time. These dozen dwarves can be of great help.
Even though Allen was not particularly proficient in tracking, he quickly found his target.
Because the trolls have left too many traces here, they are simply destroying this land without restraint.
Allen looked at the smelly cave and sneaked in quietly. He soon saw three trolls lying in the cave sleeping soundly, as well as gold and silver treasures scattered everywhere.
Allen didn't think of a sneak attack on them. Trolls were rough-skinned and thick-skinned, so a sneak attack might not kill them. Moreover, Allen didn't think he could defeat the three of them alone.

came out.
Allen made it clear that the expedition should eliminate these three trolls. If nothing else, the dwarves would also follow this path. Killing them would be good for everyone.
Gandalf agreed with Alan's statement, but Thorin Oakenshield did not speak, but looked at the surrounding tribesmen.
The opinions of the dwarves are not unified. Some dwarves also think that the three trolls should be killed, while some dwarves feel that it is better to complete their expedition as soon as possible without causing unnecessary complications.
In fact, Thorin Oakenshield prefers the latter option. He is stubborn, not stupid. Now that they are still avoiding the pursuit of orcs, they should focus on rushing.
Seeing this situation, Allen felt a little helpless and knew that he could not expect too much from the dwarves. They were just a group of ordinary people. If you have to say it, they were already good dwarves.
Faced with the current situation, Allen said helplessly: "Actually, I don't seem to have finished what I said. In addition to the trolls, there are many shining golden things in the cave. According to my estimation, it should be able to contain several boxes, even if it is not
For the sake of the travelers and the treasures, I think we should also kill those trolls."
This sentence aroused great repercussions among the dwarves.
"Really? Are you telling the truth?" "How many boxes can it really hold? How big is the box?" "Then what are we waiting for? It's almost dark, we should go and ambush them immediately."
Go quickly, go quickly!"
These treasures directly convinced most of the dwarves. After seeing the reactions of many dwarves, Thorin Oakenshield had no choice but to agree to this action.
