The dwarves present suddenly exclaimed.

"There are orcs here?"

"My God! How dare Orcs wander between the kingdoms of men and the kingdoms of elves?"

"They're probably looking for us! They don't want us to return to Lonely Mountain, because once we re-establish the Lonely Mountain Kingdom, their lair will be threatened!"

"Hmph, isn't it just a few half-orcs? Let them come!"

Facing the noise from the dwarves, Sorin waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Our top priority now is to get out of the Mengshui Swamp! Now I'm only halfway there, but there are no road signs ahead. Tell me, what should we do?" manage?"

This time, all the dwarves shut their mouths, and when it was their turn to make up their minds, they were more cowardly than one another.

Sorin sighed helplessly, and could only turn to look at Xufeng, "Swordsman, do you have any good suggestions?"

Xufeng said lightly: "Mengshui Swamp is definitely not safe anymore. I also agree with Gandalf's opinion. There must be orc scouts here. They should have seen through our route, so they plan to intercept us here." kill us."

Bilbo said quickly, "In this case, we should retreat."

Thorin frowned slightly. If Bilbo hadn't saved his life and all the dwarves' lives, he might have just started cursing.

Xufeng smiled lightly and said: "Retreating is not the solution to the problem. Besides, things are probably not as bad as we imagined. Didn't Qili say that at three kilometers away, there were traces of elf ornaments and battles? Then it is obvious Well, the elves have already discovered this group of half-orc scouts who want to intercept us, and they have already fought against the scouts. After all, this is the territory of the elves. I think the elves will not let half-orcs in their territory Wild."

Chapter 1016

Thorin frowned and said, "I don't want to join forces with the elves."

He always believed that the elves betrayed them when the Lone Mountain dwarves needed them most, so he was worried about all the elves.

Xufeng said lightly: "It's too early to say whether to join forces or not. Maybe the elves' troops have already killed all the orcs."

Sorin smiled coldly, "Hmph, if that's the case, it will save us a lot of trouble."

Xufeng said: "Then let's move on, Gandalf, can you dispel these fogs?"

Dispelling the fog and finding the way ahead, this is the most important thing to do now.

Thorin was slightly taken aback, and secretly regretted why he didn't think of letting Gandalf take action just now.

Anyway, Gandalf is also a gray-robed archmage. This level of fog should not be a problem for him.

Gandalf took a sip of the Shire herb and said with a smile: "I can, but in that case, my mana will continue to burn. Once I encounter a half-orc, I will not be able to help you fight."

Xufeng smiled and said: "Just leave the battle to us, and you just guide us forward."

"No problem." Gandalf then extinguished the tobacco, tapped the pipe pot, inserted it back into his belt, then concentrated his thoughts, and silently recited a spell.

Immediately afterwards, the fog in front of him began to thin, and the surrounding environment became clearly visible.

"careful!"

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Xufeng grabbed the hammer next to him.

Not far from Iron Hammer was a hidden swamp, as long as he moved a little sideways, he could sink into it and couldn't get out of it.

The iron hammer was taken aback, but fortunately Xufeng held it tightly so that she didn't fall.

"Almost," Iron Hammer said in shock.

Thorin said in a deep voice: "Everyone, be careful where you step, and lean closer to Gandalf! Follow Gandalf!"

"Yes!"

The dwarves followed Gandalf at once.

Gandalf burned his mana, maintained the blue light on his body, and walked forward.

As Kili and Fili reported, the iron chains of the wooden posts in front had been artificially damaged, and there were traces of fierce fighting on the muddy ground.

Judging from the fragments of elf clothing left on the ground, it seems that the elves did not have the upper hand.

This made Xufeng a little confused.

After all, this is already the border of the Kingdom of Rydel, so there should be more elves than orc scouts.

However, looking at the traces, it seems that there are more orc scout troops than elf troops.

It seems that the half-orc scouts ambushed here on purpose, waiting to ambush the dwarf expedition team. As a result, a group of elf soldiers accidentally broke into the half-orc ambush circle and discovered the existence of the half-orcs, so the two sides had a fierce battle Fighting broke out.

The elf squad should be at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, which is why the half-orc scouts fought so embarrassingly.

So, where is that team of elves now?

Where were the goblin scouts who had ambushed them?

While carefully observing the surrounding situation, Xufeng followed the flank of the large army.

In this kind of march, the most critical part is the flank of the team.

If the half-orc scouts wanted to launch an attack, they would attack from the flanks, cut off the connection between the front and back of the expedition team, and then double-team them.

Therefore, the flank was the most dangerous position at this time, and Xufeng took the initiative to guard the flank to prevent sneak attacks by orc scouts.

The expedition team moved forward in apprehension.

It took nearly an hour for them to reach the three kilometers.

The battle scene here is more obvious, the ground is full of traces of blood, and there are many fragments of elf armor and weapons.

Thorin frowned and said, "The elves can't beat the orcs in their own territory? Hmph, the elves are really incompetent."

Gandalf sighed for a long time, and the blue light on his body gradually disappeared.

Whitebeard Balin quickly asked, "Gandalf, are you alright?"

Gandalf shook his head wearily, "No, I have to take a rest and recover my mana. Don't go any further, I'll talk about it after I recover."

Thorin frowned and asked, "Gandalf, how long will it take you to recover?"

Gandalf said helplessly: "It's hard to say, it may take three to five hours, or it may take more than ten hours."

Sorin looked around at the gradually thickening fog, and then said: "No, we can't stay here and do nothing. When we entered the Mengshui swamp, it was already noon. Now counting it, it should be four in the afternoon." It's about [-]:[-]pm, and we've only traveled less than half of the way in the Mengshui Swamp. If we continue to delay like this, I'm afraid we'll have to spend the night in the mist of the Mengshui Swamp. It's close to the Mirkwood, Not only will there be a large number of monsters appearing at night, but they may even be attacked by orc scouts, so we must leave this dangerous place as soon as possible."

Bilbo said quickly, "Isn't that good? Gandalf has no mana to dispel the mist now. We should wait until he recovers. Are you right, Didi?"

Suddenly, everyone's eyes fell on Xufeng.

Unknowingly, Xufeng has become the backbone of this kind of expedition team.
