Chapter 259 The Fruit Harvest Six Years Ago

Since the Misty Mountains cannot be turned over, everyone can only drill holes. Moria, the former home of the dwarves, has gathered the hard work and sweat of countless dwarf ancestors, but this kingdom had to be abandoned due to the invasion of the Balrog. After the mountain was recovered, Sorin still organized a dwarf expedition team, led by Grandpa Balin, trying to recover this homeland.

The new path chosen by the Fellowship of the Ring is through the old homeland of the dwarves.

Gimli the dwarf was very excited about this, because in Moria he could see his cousins, and he could eat hot roast meat and strong dwarven wine.

And Chen Mo is also very curious, this time, with the support of Lonely Mountain, can the dwarves of Moria still hold their own territory.

In the original history, because Thorin Oakenshield was killed in the Lonely Mountain, his brother Dyne became the king of the Lonely Mountain, but because of heavy casualties in the Battle of the Five Armies, Dyne disagreed with Bahrain's recovery of Moria, So the old man could only return to Moria with a team of volunteers. They successfully regained some territory in Moria and drove the Orcs out, but in a night attack, Balin unfortunately died.

The rest of the dwarves were also under the attack of Orcs pouring in like a tide, and lost the territory they regained little by little, and finally had to retreat into a tomb room, where they stood firm until the last person.

This is a lonely expedition, and the ending is cruel but predictable.

But things are different now.The Lone Mountain Dwarves hadn't been badly hurt, and had Thorin Oakenshield even been killed, so would Moria be the same?

The Fellowship of the Ring went south along the mountain road and arrived at the gate of Moria, where Gandalf was also stumped by the riddle on the gate, and then Chen Mo went up to the gate and punched and kicked together.

"Bahrain, are you there, open the door!"

"Selent!"

Gandalf became anxious when he saw Chen Mo making a loud noise. There was a big octopus in the pool in front of the gate of the Moria mine. What if it was alarmed?
But Chen Mo still didn't care. After smashing the door for several minutes, accompanied by the sound of stones rubbing against each other, a small door opened from the stone wall.

A dwarf guard wearing a helmet and heavy armor poked his head and looked at the Ring squad vigilantly.

"Haha, let's go, brothers, I can't wait to have a drink!"

Seeing Jinli emerge from the crowd, the vigilance of the dwarf guard disappeared without a trace. He greeted everyone enthusiastically, and then led the team through the ancestors illuminated by bonfires and stars. Hall, come to a fortress inside the mine.

One side of the fortress is full of sundries and mountains of ordnance. Chen Mo can vaguely see that there are still a lot of dark brown traces on that side.

At the upper level of the fortress, the Fellowship of the Ring saw an older but still vigorous Balin.

"Ah, Gandalf, and Celent!"

Balin, who was wearing a piece of armor, stood up excitedly and greeted his old friends, and immediately asked his men to prepare meals and drinks. He wanted to have a good chat with his old friends.

After driving on the mountain for a long time, the cold and freezing people naturally followed suit. Everyone sat on the ground by the warm campfire, eating delicious barbecue and drinking foamy dwarf beer.

And Chen Mo also learned about those things after Gushan from Balin.

Thorin Oakenshield is indeed a qualified dwarf king. After taking office, he vigorously encouraged his clansmen to have children, and quickly rebuilt the trade routes of the Lonely Mountain, greatly restoring the power of the dwarves. Twenty years later, the recovery of Moria began.

Although Bahrain, who led the team, failed to fight back to Moria with an army of tens of thousands, thousands of troops and a steady stream of ordnance supplies were enough. After several years of fighting, the dwarf army had recovered nearly one-fifth of Moria. They also repaired the outposts and castles left over from the past, prepared enough food, grass and ordnance, firmly occupied these fulcrums, and killed a large number of Orcs.

Even the dwarves have restarted a part of the furnace, which can replenish the army on the spot.

But the progress is limited to this!
Because the real horror below Moria is the ancient Balrog, otherwise the thousands of troops would definitely be able to completely recover Moria within ten years.

"I really don't know when that beast will die!"

Bahrain drank beer and said unwillingly.

The mines of Moria, like the Lonely Mountain, contain countless treasures. For the dwarves who like to mine, not being able to dig mines is like not being able to smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol, or have sex with girls.

"It's okay, its death is not far away!"

Chen Mo held up the Coke in the glass, clinked glasses with Bahrain, and comforted each other.

Then Gandalf felt a vague malice suddenly entangled himself.

It may be that the white robe is unwilling to fail!
The gray-robed wizard thought so, and then asked about passing through the Misty Mountains.

And Bahrain frowned when he learned of the mission of the Fellowship of the Ring. Over the years, although the Dwarven Iron Foot Army had caused a lot of damage to the Orcs entrenched in the depths of the Moria mines, they did not dare to disturb the Balrog. , so they didn't go too deep, and the Fellowship of the Ring team must pass through those places if they want to cross Moria, and there are still countless Orcs entrenched in the darkness!

"You guys have a good rest, and tomorrow I will bring someone to escort you there!"

Balin pointed out the route to Gandalf and said to everyone.

"That's right, with the Iron Foot Army, no matter how many Orcs come, they will all die!"

As if he had returned to his own home, Jinli yelled loudly with a beer in his hand, his tone full of praise for his people.

And Legolas was a little displeased with the opponent's bragging about the Iron Foot Army, so he cited the combat power of the elf longbowmen. At this moment, elves and dwarves began to argue about whose army could fight like children. .

Because they couldn't talk to each other, the two wanted to ask Gandalf to comment, but the gray robe fell asleep on the spot holding the wine glass, and then they looked at Chen Mo who was grilling chicken wings.

"No matter what you look at, I can't fight, so why fight!"

Chen Mo said to the two angrily, these two guys are really capable of tossing, don't they know how the dwarves and elves fought before?
However, Chen Mo still expressed his objection to Bahrain's kindness. After all, what should he do if the army of thousands of people alarmed the Balrog? Then how would he kick Gandalf down and challenge the Balrog?
"Why don't you launch a side attack and help us attract Orc's attention, so that you are also safe, and we are also safe!"
