Dragonborn from Lord of the Rings

Chapter 35 Bilbo Baggins
Third Age 2931, December 8th.

That is to say, on the third day after the attack and defense of Themistrond (Grey Harbor), a troop that assembled the Lindon elves, Turin dwarves, and Dúnedain had all the weapons and armor, and the horned sheep on horses neighed and set out from Gray Harbor. , via the east, galloping towards Shire.

Because they are all powerful races in this world, this well-equipped coalition army moves extremely fast.

Just as Yarien in the east showed his round face, the 300 elite elf cavalry in the vanguard arrived at the river valley between the northern part of the Shire and the Dusk Hills in the golden light of dawn, ready to cross the river.

Here the River Baranduin, rising from Loch Nenwear (Lake of Dusk), divides the Shire, home of the Hobbits, in two.

Among them, Hobbiton, where the protagonists Bilbo Baggins and Frodo Baggins are located in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, is just a tributary on the left side of the Balanduin River. The junction with the North River.

And the Bale Wood was due north of Hobbiton.

Across the Bread Woods were the great roads and fords built by the Númenóreans of the old northern kingdom of Arnor.

Once, the elves and the last king of Gondor in the south, Eärnur, crossed the Baranduin River through this avenue, and attacked Fornost, the capital of the Kingdom of Athedan, which was occupied by the evil Witch King of Angmar.

Now, 2000 years have passed.

The coalition of elves, humans, and dwarves once again embarked on this magnificent road that has gone through wind and rain and is still glorious, crossing the unchanging for thousands of years. Under the sunshine of the morning sun, the beautiful golden brown Balanduin River .

(The word Balanduin originally means a golden brown river in Sindarin)
Bilbo Baggins bit his nails, hid behind a big tree in the Bundle Forest, and stared dumbfounded at the noble races wearing exquisite armor shining golden light in the sun, holding the sacred banners, and there was an endless stream came in order from the West.

"My God, look what I've found! Elves! Not one, not two, not three, not five, six, seven! Elves beyond count!"

Poor, the young hobbit who hadn't been far from the Hobbit's 'capital', Big Hole in the West End, was so surprised he almost bit his tongue.

He stomped and tried to shout, but the excited hobbit found sadly that he could not utter a word.

Because he felt that, compared with these races that were so handsome that they seemed to be unearthly, and whose noble aura could be felt miles away, he was as small as a dirty little beast.

particular.

He looked at his dirty paws, and then at the exquisite and luxurious armor and helmets of these elves with their white tail feathers, a feeling of poor self-esteem welled up in his heart.

Maybe I shouldn't disturb them, after all they looked so hurried, as if they were going to do some important things.

Bilbo Baggins of Hobbiton bit his nails and rolled his eyes.

or.

The elves seem to be rushing to the battlefield!

Bilbo remembered that recently the governor of Big Hole Town, Isambras IV Took, had issued an order-the Shire had no king, they were actually the autonomous dominions of the Kingdom of Axeldan, and their highest official position was He is the governor of Dadong Town and concurrently serves as the mayor.

All hobbits were forbidden to stay outside at night, and a group of town guards were called up, and they went out of the city to kill a group of goblins who came running from the west.

To be honest, when the residents of Hobbiton heard the ban at first, they agreed that Aisambras IV was stupid.But now Bilbo saw with his own eyes the bands of Elves crossing the fords of the Balanduin, and marching northward.

The young halfling, with a shrewdness and courage no other hobbit possessed, came to believe that the world had indeed become dangerous.

"so."

thought Bilbo distressedly. "Is it good luck or bad luck now?"

However, in the end, Bilbo Baggins was still not willing to give up this rare opportunity. He chose to stay behind the original big tree and continue to peek at these noble races that are famous but not seen by many people now.

The elves naturally noticed this little guy hiding in the woods.

"That's just a halfling."

The elf Galdor said so, he is the forward commander of the coalition army, responsible for commanding the vanguard force including 300 elf cavalry and 200 dwarf horned sheep cavalry.

He recognized at a glance that the little guy hiding behind the tree, like a snitch, with his eyes rolling all the time, was the Perrian of the Shire.

Sindarin, halflings.

So the Elves did not drive away the daring fellow, but hastened across the Balanduin to the north.

"Old Bongo's Padfoot is down, look what that is!"

Bilbo, who had been peeking excitedly behind the big tree, widened his eyes in surprise.

I saw that not long after the elves passed by, a group of dwarves riding horned sheep ran over with rumbling hooves.

"First there were elves, now there are dwarves, and there will be big races (humans) soon, right? What's wrong with this world, is it the end?"

Bilbo bit his nails in excitement and fear, and kept trembling.

He began to feel that adventure was not a pleasant thing, and that the warm and comfortable life in Bag End might be more suitable for him.

At the beginning, my brain was broken, so I endured the bites of mosquitoes and ants, and went to the north to be frightened in this August day while enduring hunger.

"Like the elves, the dwarves are also in a hurry, wearing their helmets and armor! Yes, I can be sure, they will definitely not run out for countless picnics, there must be a war somewhere, these soldiers can do it Hurry to the battlefield!"

Bilbo Baggins couldn't help being terrified when he thought that, somehow, elves and dwarves launched a heroic charge against an evil enemy, and then more elves and dwarves seemed to fall under the boundless sea of ​​swords and fire, and the dead were everywhere. Even breathing stopped.

"this is too scary!"

He screamed and tried to escape from here.But in fact, he collapsed on the ground with limp hands and feet, and his face turned pale. The so-called scream was nothing but the wriggling of his Adam's apple.

Bilbo Baggins was so occupied with the terrible visions of his own imagination that he didn't even notice when the dwarves crossed the river.

time flies.

In a trance, Bilbo was awakened by a strange, as if soft, healing hoofbeat.

He opened his eyes and looked west.

A holy white light appeared before his eyes.

Bilbo Baggins swore he had never seen such reverence.

With just one glance, he was gripped by the god-like figure of the Dragonborn, his mouth was open, trembling and unable to speak.

Dragon Bourne rode on the holy Nahar, not wearing a helmet, but wearing an elf-style crown forged from mithril and decorated with diamonds.

Around his waist was bound by a silver chain a monstrous horn made of white shells with gold at both ends.

It was given to him by the owner of Gray Harbor before he left.

And on the cloak of the armor, there is also an emerald green gem pinned to it.The sun shines on it, reflecting the emerald green light.

All around him were knights with the air of a king.

Among them, on his left is the wise wizard and the sharp-eyed Arathorn.

On the right is the gloomy, majestic dwarf prince.

"If you want me to say, it is reasonable to skip the ghostly place of Annuminas and go straight to Carndum. Our troops are limited, so we can't waste them in this insignificant place!"

"Stupid! Anuminas lies between Carndum and Mistrond. If we let it ignore it, when our soldiers go straight to Carndum in the north, the half-orcs here will counterattack and attack What about our retreat and the attack on the Gray Harbor where Lord Cirdan is stationed? This nail must be pulled out first, so that we can have peace of mind."

"The dwarves have experienced as many battles as you, wizard! Don't treat us like human children! The half-orcs of Annuminas are just defeated soldiers defeated by us. Fear and fear have occupied their hearts. These half-orcs are not at all. Dare to fight again! They are not elves, dwarves, or even human beings, and hiding their heads and shivering is their performance at this moment!"

"You can't guarantee that!"

The gray-robed wizard retorted him, his eyes shining with wisdom: "The master behind Azog is not a simple character, we can't guarantee that he has no back-ups! After all, he used the ruthless characters of ancient demons such as the Balrog and the Demon Wolf King, We can't take chances!"

These words reminded Sorin, and reminded him of his negligence. He waved his warhammer angrily, as if venting his annoyance.

However, the stubborn dwarf still said: "Anyway, I still say that, it is definitely not a wise decision to waste troops in that damned place! And."

The reason for the dwarf prince is also very strong.

"We don't have so much time to waste. We must attack Karndum before the beast of Azog reacts! Otherwise, if the orcs are given a chance to regroup and want to capture that fortress, I don't know How many elves and dwarves will die!"

Now it was Gandalf's turn to be at a loss for words.

The old wizard held his bong in his mouth, smoking non-stop, muttering something in his mouth.

Next to him, Arazon rode his gray horse Pied without saying a word, and fell a full horse behind the holy Nahar.

The dwarf was parallel to him.

The wizard advanced slightly, but was half a horse behind the dragonborn.

The main leaders of the coalition forces thus formed a strange but balanced combination.

The elves sided with the dragonborn.

The dwarves obeyed the dragonborn but disagreed with the wizard, and the Dúnedain remained silent and did not help each other.

This kind of quarrel started before the troops were dispatched last night. After a full night and morning, no one could convince anyone.

It made Dragon Bourne dizzy.

He was just an ordinary person in his previous life, and he didn't have the ability to criticize Fang Qiu and point out the country, so he has never expressed his opinions in this regard.

After all, whether it is a long-term drive or a step-by-step approach, it sounds like it has its reasons.

And commanding the army is not his forte, so all he can do is listen quietly, and then weigh silently.

"Let everything be decided by the silver king!"

The gray-robed wizard muttered for a long time, and finally threw this problem back to the Dragonborn.

Maybe it was because Arathorn's address that day was so appropriate that now even Gandalf and the others call the black-haired dragonborn the silver king.

Thorin Oakenshield stopped complaining when he heard this, and turned his attention to the Dragonborn at the front, the nominal commander of the coalition forces.

Dragon Bourne rode holy Nahar without a word.

"A Perrian, what are you doing here!"

Just when Bilbo Baggins was so excited by a scene he would never forget in his life, his hands and feet were weak, his tongue was dumbstruck, and he wished for a piece of paper and pen to draw or write down this scene, a clear and beautiful voice came from behind him sounded.

Fenner grabbed the collar of Bilbo Baggins who wanted to escape with one hand, and lifted him up. There was a trace of curiosity and dissatisfaction in her gray eyes.

"Halfling, eavesdropping and peeping is not a good person's behavior. Are you still a spy? Or a snitch?"

The young hobbit was terrified, and he kept struggling like a small animal being held in his hands.

"Snitch? No, Bilbo Baggins never stole a single thing in his life, not even a needle!"

"Is that a spy?"

The female ranger put him down amusedly.

But Bilbo Baggins remained motionless, for the bows of a dozen elf rangers were aimed at his heart and brow.

This little episode on the edge of the woods successfully alleviated the embarrassing situation of the Dragonborn.

The leaders of the coalition forces all stopped.

Looking at the 'little child' who was caught by the female ranger who was in charge of marching to investigate and protect the flanks of the troops and her rangers, Dragon Bourne gave the female chef who chose to join the expedition a strange look. A look like what are you doing.

But immediately, he reacted.

"Hobbit?"

As a result, the Holy Spirit, who had been silent all this time, spoke at this moment.

"Is this the Later Children? Well, it doesn't smell very good. This 'Hobbit' looks much weaker than the Firstborn (Elves) and Secondborns (Humans). They are really the most holy Iru. The child of Vita's blessing, it's really worrying to watch."

Nahal had obviously never seen the Hobbit group, and it was astonished to circle around this little human being as tall as a 7-8-year-old child, scaring Bilbo Baggins enough.

The Holy Spirit before him was so tall and holy that the hobbit could not even reach its thighs.

and.

He secretly went to look at the tall figure sitting on the holy spirit, but was so shocked by his majestic and cold golden vertical pupils that his soul was almost out of his body.

He was obedient, muttering, speechless.

These big people are so tall and majestic, each one looks like a king.

But he himself became the prisoner being interrogated.

The young hobbit was frightened and wronged, and could not stop crying.

Behold, Bilbo Baggins, what you have done for your adventures!Although you came to see the elves out of curiosity, you ended up in such a situation!Sure enough, adventure novels are all lies, and Bag End is Baggins' final and only destination!Whoever talks about taking risks in the future is an idiot, a fool, a slug!
Seeing that the hobbit in front of them was crying in fright, everyone was stunned.

At this time, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Bilbo Baggins, what are you doing here!"

Hearing that someone called his name, Bilbo was both surprised and happy. He raised his tear-filled little eyes and asked big questions. "My lord, may I ask, do I know you?"

The smoke from the mouth of the gray robe wizard Gandalf became thicker.
