Chapter 129

River Valley Township.

Open the walls.

Elf guards in light golden armor were standing neatly together, densely filling all the empty spaces of the city wall.

On the ruins of the central open-air garden.

Morgan and the elf king Thranduil were standing side by side, looking at Bard galloping towards the opposite lonely mountain in the distance.

Morgan asked, "Do you think he will succeed?"

Thranduil replied indifferently: "You have been with those dwarves for so long, don't you already have the answer in your heart?"

Looking at the back of Bud getting smaller and smaller in the distance.

Thranduil suddenly turned his head, looked at the human being of the same height beside him and said, "You are different from him."

Morgan also turned his head, looked at the elf king who was so handsome but didn't feel feminine at all, and said, "Are you referring to Bud?"

Thranduil nodded.

Morgan turned his head again, looked at the tiny figure in the distance who had almost reached the gate of the Lonely Mountain, and said softly, "Of course it will be different."

"Everyone is different."

"Just like I know Your Majesty, you know in your heart that Thorin Oakenshield will never agree to Bard's idea of ​​negotiation, but you are still willing to let him try to negotiate."

"Isn't it?"

Yes, from the moment I saw Thranduil not long ago.

Whether it's combining the memory of the plot in my mind, or the feeling of seeing Thranduil with my own eyes now.

Morgan knew that the elf king next to him was determined to kill the dwarves.

As for agreeing to Bard's negotiating statement.

It was purely Thranduil giving Bard a face.

Although Bard's current population is small, River Valley Town is too dilapidated, and it hasn't had time to repair it.

But now Bard can barely be regarded as the new king of River Valley State in River Valley Town.

Dale is too close to Mirkwood.

Another group of greedy dwarves took back the Lonely Mountain and occupied the mountain.

In addition, the Elven King obviously admired Bard's attitude.

It's normal to agree with Bud's words, and he has nothing to lose, in case there are surprises.

Although the surprise is as remote as the hope that the dwarves will no longer be greedy.

Hearing Morgan's words, Thranduil turned his head again, glanced at the human next to him meaningfully, and said nothing.

The gate of the lonely mountain.

On the tall city wall.

The dwarf Groin, who curled up in the corner to watch the night until dawn, opened his sleepy eyes, stood up, and just opened his bearded mouth to yawn.

He was only halfway through the yawn when he saw a large group of neat teams wearing golden armor appearing on the opposite side of the city wall of Hegu Town.

The yawn was suppressed in an instant, and Ge Luoyin immediately shook his head, rubbed his eyes, and muttered: "I haven't woken up yet?"

"It must be my eyesight"

Groin, who consciously became more sober, looked at Hegu Town on the other side again.

This time, looking at the neat and orderly golden army on the tall city wall that became clearer and clearer in sight.

Groin's eyes widened in an instant, and he finally came to his senses. He turned around and shouted at the dwarf Ouli who had just opened his eyes in the corner behind him: "Ouli, hurry up!"

"Quick, go call Sorin!"

Not long after, Thorin Oakenshield led a group of dwarves and Bilbo up the tall city wall.

Standing on the city wall, Thorin Oakenshield's complexion instantly darkened as he looked at the orderly golden army that was shining brightly under the golden sunlight in the morning.

"Those are all elves' troops?"

At this time, the dwarf Dori suddenly asked hesitantly.

"Who else but those damn elves!"

Looking at the army of elves on the wall of Hegu Town in the distance, the irritable Godvalin punched the stone in front of him and said angrily.

"Wait, someone is coming."

"Who is that?"

At this time, Bilbo pointed to the road far ahead and said suddenly.

A group of dwarves looked carefully, and saw a fast horse galloping towards the gate of Gushan, splashing a lot of dust behind it.

The distance between River Valley Town and Lonely Mountain is not too far away.

As Bud approached quickly.

The group of dwarves on the thick and tall walls of the Lonely Mountain finally recognized who the visitor was.

It was the boatman who had taken them to Changhu Town before.

A descendant of Giraion, the former King of the Dales.

But now, the opponent has an unusually resounding name "Dragon Slayer Warrior".

After Dwalin and Chili Fili failed to capture Morgan yesterday, they brought back important information about who killed the dragon Smaug.

In addition to the Morgan they are familiar with, there is another guy who is riding a white horse in front of them.

"It's the boatman from Long Lake Town"

"I seem to have heard that this boatman is a descendant of Girion, the former king of the Dale State?"

"You heard it wrong. It seems that the other party is the descendant of Ji Rui'an, the king of the River Valley State many years ago. This is what the hospitable Changhu Town said."

"This boatman is now a dragon slaying warrior. Have you forgotten what Kili said yesterday, that Morgan and him killed the evil dragon together?"

"Just what did he want to do?"

"Those damn elves are in River Valley Town, are they in the same group?"

"Sorling."

The dwarves were chattering.

"Of course he will know when he comes."

Thorin Oakenshield said with a cold expression, and waved to Balin with the white beard who was standing aside.

After Sorin whispered a few words beside Balin, Balin quickly walked down the city wall alone and walked deep into the lonely mountain.

"Bang bang bang bang."

At this moment, there was a loud sound of horseshoes.

Bud finally arrived.

"Your Highness Thorin, son of Thrain."

Bud reined in, stood in front of the gate of the Lonely Mountain, looked at Thorin Oakenshield above and said, "We are really happy to see that you survived."

Facing the friendly gestures of the humans in front of him, Thorin Oakenshield didn't move in the slightest. He just looked down at Bard coldly and said, "Happy for us? Then you all just stay in River Valley Town."

"Why do you still want to mess with those elves and come to the gate of the king under the mountain? Do you want to show off your might?"

Thorin Oakenshield asked in a cold voice.

This immediately made Bud, who was originally smiling, turn cold: "Then why does the king of the mountain block the gate and build a high wall to hide behind, like a robber entrenched in wealth?"

Thorin Oakenshield seemed to know what the boatman in front of him was going to say, and said indifferently, "That's because I guessed that there might be robbers coming to rob."

"Look, isn't this already guessed by me?"

Seeing Thorin Oakenshield in front of him, he didn't seem to remember the promise he made publicly in front of the residents of Changhu Town a few days ago.

Morgan's words immediately came to Bud's mind: "Shorin is already sick. He has a disease like a dragon. They will strictly guard all the gold coins and treasures and will not share them with anyone."

Thinking of this, Bud took a deep breath.

He came here for peace, and he couldn't turn against Thorin Oakenshield for a moment of anger. The army of wood elves behind him was still waiting.

"Your Highness, we are not robbers, let alone looting anything"

Bader tried his best to remain sincere, and continued: "I came here to seek a fair reconciliation, and I wonder if you would like to talk to me, Your Highness."

Looking at the expectant eyes of the boatman below, Thorin Oakenshield's eyes were low.

He knew that he couldn't avoid the promise he was forced to make when he asked everyone in Changhu Town.

It's better to let the people in front of you give up.

As for the army of elves in the opposite river valley town.

Oh, of course someone will deal with them.

The only thing I have to do now is to delay time and delay time before the arrival of reinforcements.

Thinking of this, Sorin looked at the humans below, nodded with a cold expression on his face, and said, "Of course."

"I yearn for peace and welcome all peace"

Thorin Oakenshield said as he turned and walked towards the stone stairs behind.

Bud's complexion immediately improved a lot. As long as the other party is willing to talk, that's fine, which means that there is a chance to persuade the other party.

Bud got off his horse.

At this time, a huge black-eyed raven flew out from the gate of Gushan, and quickly went away.

Bud looked up at the raven flying out of the sky above his head, not paying attention.

Walk quickly to the long bridge leading to the gate of Gushan.

At the end of the long bridge, the gate was blocked by huge stones, and there was no difference between the lower stone crevice where the dragon Smaug occupied the lonely mountain before.

Bard saw Thorin Oakenshield waiting there.
