Inside the king's tent, Thranduil looked at Bard who had walked into his tent, and his eyes lit up. He knew Bard, a human who smuggled with the elves. Thranduil initially expressed disdain for Bard's actions and let the elves
After quietly inquiring about his situation, I gained respect for Bud.
The reason why Bud did this was to raise his children, not for wealth. As a father, he felt that Bud was very good, so he acquiesced to the continuation of the transaction.
Otherwise Bard would have been expelled by Thranduil long ago.
"Hello, Dragon Hunter Bard, I noticed you when you entered the Dark Forest to trade with our Woodland Kingdom. You are a qualified father, but not a good husband."
Thranduil's words were quite polite. After all, he could see Garfield's magic clearly. If Garfield hadn't done it, Bard's arrow would have directly hit Smaug's scaleless heart under his left wing.
.
Smaug will inevitably die at the hands of the human in front of him. It is normal to get Thranduil's admiration and equal dialogue.
However, Bard has not yet transformed from being a smuggler, and there is a huge difference in combat effectiveness between Lake Town and the Woodland Kingdom. Bard responded humbly: "Thank you for your compliment. I, Bard, receive
I am ashamed of myself. To be honest, I am not sure whether that arrow can hit Smaug or kill him."
"Master Garfield said that I saw it through magic. Although it didn't happen, it doesn't mean it won't happen."
Okay
You are the boss and you have the final say.
Bard did not continue to raise the issue with Thranduil. He followed Thranduil's words and said: "Thank you for your compliment. I wonder why you came to me?"
Thranduil sat elegantly on the seat and said to the confused Bard: "The war is coming. Your Lake Town is gone. Riverdale Town is your future home. Take up arms.
Prepare to fight with the elves and dwarves against the evil orcs invasion"
Watt
What the hell
What is this?
Before the dwarves could calm down, Smaug burned River Town to the ground. As soon as he arrived at Riverdale Town, before he could take a breath, the orcs were about to come again.
Supreme God, what are you making a fuss about? Do you want anyone else to live?
After all, Bard is very nervous and knows the situation in this world. After complaining in his heart, he flashed in his mind that the situation on his side was not ideal. As for the elves, he saw the elite elves along the way.
There is nothing to say. The only ones who are silent are the dwarves.
"May I ask Your Majesty Thranduil, how is the situation in the Lonely Mountain? How many dwarves can come?"
"Those guys from Tiezu will come over. As for the rest, they will be too far away in time."
There are only a few dwarves in the Lonely Mountain, Thorin and the others. Bard knows that as for the dwarves in the Iron Hills, Bard has never been there, so he doesn’t know what the situation is. With the fighting power of the Woodland Kingdom, Bard has a rough idea in his mind.
situation.
"Your Majesty Thranduil, in this case the main forces can only be elves and dwarves"
Thranduil: "Don't think about so many good things. The dwarves' positions are there. They really have a lot of hatred for the orcs. They will hate each other when they meet. They will fight to the last drop of blood for the Lonely Mountain.
Yes, the same goes for elves and orcs. There are three important places here in Gushan, River Valley Town, Crow Ridge, and the Dwarf Kingdom at the foot of Gushan Mountain."
Bud nodded: "Yes, these three places are equally important"
Thranduil pointed at three places on the upper row of the map, arranged in a glyph pattern: "Just now, King Garfield told me that if we want to defend the Lonely Mountain, our current military strength alone is not enough. Orcs came from Moria,
They came from three places, Gundaba Mountains and Dol Guldur, and their troops far exceed ours. We must focus on guarding the two most advantageous places."
Seeing Thranduil pointing at the Lonely Mountain and River Valley Town, he was a little puzzled. On the way here, he saw a large group of elven soldiers on Crow Ridge: "Your Majesty, Thranduil, I saw most of the elves on the way here.
In Crow Ridge, what about River Valley Town?"
Thranduil pointed at Bard: "Riverdale Town will be left to you."
Ah
Guarding River Valley Town, Bard was a little scratching his head. What about their people? He knew that although there were not many residents in Changhe Town, they were old, weak, women and children. If he wanted to defend River Valley Town under the attack of the ferocious orcs, it would be tantamount to climbing a mountain.
days.
"Your Majesty Thranduil, most of the people in Changhu Town are old, weak, women and children. We need training and some weapons and armors."
Hearing Bard's answer, Thranduil smiled. Bard did not refuse or ask for help from the elves, but directly stated his shortcomings. This proves that Bard knows the current situation and understands the world of Middle-earth.
danger.
"The training is very simple. I can send elves to teach you arrows. As for the weapons, the elves' scimitars are not suitable for you. There are a large number of remaining weapons and armors in River Valley Town. I have already sent people to collect them. You only need to bring people's
Just go and put them on. If they are not enough, you can go to the dwarf kingdom at the foot of Gushan Mountain to get some."
Oh
"How about Thorin and the others? I was able to become the mayor of Changhe Town. They provided a lot of help. Of course, I was forced by their actions." Here Bard smiled self-deprecatingly and continued: "If
If it were them, I might not be able to make up my mind to expel that black-hearted mayor."
Thranduil smiled and pointed to River Valley Town in the south of Crow Ridge: "You are the future mayor of River Valley Town. Long Lake Town is already in the past. Bard, you have to take a longer view."
"Thank you for your teaching, Your Majesty Thranduil"
Under Thranduil's earnest instruction, Bard gradually learned how to become a qualified king.
At the same time
The vast interior of the Gushan dwarf kingdom
On top of mountains of gold coins, diamonds, jewelry, and gold utensils, Thorin and more than a dozen dwarves were holding torches and looking for the Arken Stone in the Heart of the Mountain. Thorin knew that only by finding the Arken Stone could he recreate the journey of his ancestors.
Brilliant.
"As long as we can find the Arken Stone, we will be able to recreate the glory of the Lonely Mountain Turin line." Thorin shouted with an impatient look, especially his eyes with a hint of fierceness, which made him dig through the pile of gold coins for a while.
Later, Bahrain, who was sitting on the gold coins to rest, thought of the early days of the fall of Gushan.
Thorin's grandfather, Thorin, who was fascinated by wealth, was the first to have the Arken Stone, and the seven dwarf kingdoms in Middle-earth were headed by the Gushan lineage. Thor was gradually swallowed up by wealth and power, and became aloof and arrogant.
"Thorin, there are so many things here. If you want to find the Arken Stone, we may not be able to find it in a year just by just relying on a few of us. Why don't we find helpers?"
Thorin suddenly turned his head and stared at Balin who was speaking
