"So, you let Tauriel take your place, patrolling the border of the Woodland Kingdom, and then you led an elf guard to catch up with us secretly?" Gao Yuan asked.

"Anyway, I basically patrol the border, and my father will not find out that I have left the woodland kingdom."

Legolas smiled triumphantly. This was also the first time he tried to truly disobey his father's orders, which filled him with a sense of accomplishment, no matter how many orcs he killed.

Along the river running down from the top of the Lonely Mountain, the members of the Lonely Mountain Expedition started from here, accompanied by the members of the elf guards brought by Legolas, and within a day, they came to Gushan is located in the foothills between the two ridges to the south.

According to Sorin's recollection, before Smaug's arrival, the foothills in front of him were covered with lush forests, and even the ridges on both sides could be seen with a little green all year round.

Today, on both sides of the rushing river that passes through the foothills, there are only many towering and steep rocks overlooking the rushing water.

Across the rushing and noisy rushing river, they saw in the shadowed valley of the two spurs on the south side of the Lonely Mountain many long-abandoned houses, towering buildings, and ruins of city walls.

Gao Yuan stood on a steep rock and looked at the valley below him. He knew that there was the ruins of the former River Valley City.

"Where is there?" The curious baby Bilbo always started to ask when he encountered something unknown.

He didn't know that there was such a magnificent city under the lonely mountain where the dwarves were.

Although it looks deserted and uninhabited for a long time at this time, judging from the remaining ruins of River Valley City, it must have been a bustling and lively place in the past.

"There used to be the location of Dale City, but now there are only ruins left." Balin explained to Bilbo. "Before Smaug came, Dale City was very prosperous, and there were many dwarves and humans living in it."

When he described all this, he looked very sad and solemn.He and Thorin had been in Dale when Smaug the Dragon came to the Lonely Mountain.

It was there that they saw Smaug attack the kingdom of the dwarves on the Lonely Mountain.

"In the past, people in the river valley would exchange a lot of daily necessities and supplies for the tools and weapons forged by the dwarf artisans. There are also many parents of human children who would rather send their children to the dwarf artisans than pay money. Be an apprentice, in order to learn the forging knowledge of the dwarves." Thorin muttered to himself.

"The Desert of Smaug," continued Bilbo, "where are the people who lived there now?"

Gao Yuan slapped Bilbo on the head.

This kid, when asking questions, always pays no attention to the scene and other people's mood.

"The dwarves are now scattered in various parts of the Middle-earth continent. Most of the humans have also left the east and went to the west to make a living. The rest are still living in Changhu Town not far away."

"The dwarves of Lonely Mountain were going to take back their former hometown, the mines of Moria in the Misty Mountains. Unfortunately, they failed, so most of them now live in the Blue Mountains." Gao Yuan said.

After listening to Gao Yuan's answer, Bilbo also knew at this time that it might not be appropriate for him to ask this question at this time.

He looked at Sorin apologetically: "Sorry, I don't know you guys."

Sorin doesn't care.

"You don't have to apologize for that, that's why, the reason we're here now, is to take back what we once knew."

Now is not the time to be sad. The dwarves have been sad for a long time. They are not afraid of facing the dragon in the lonely mountain. What they are afraid of is that they will no longer see the hope of the future of the race.

Going to the Lonely Mountain and regaining their homeland is the process of their efforts to find hope. Sorin's grandfather wanted to retake the Moria mine; Sorin and his father wanted to retake the Lonely Mountain.

They continued their climb up the rapids of the Cataract River.

Until they came to the gate of the Lonely Mountain Dwarf Kingdom, they could already clearly see the gate between the two branches of the Lonely Mountain.

The entrance to the dungeon leading to the dwarf kingdom was buried by countless rubble after the king of the Lonely Mountain dwarves, Sorin's grandfather, led most of his people out of the Lonely Mountain.

The dwarves and elves are very sure that no one is still living in it at this time, but there is still some steam and black smoke wafting from the cracks in the gravel at the door.

There was dead silence around the gate, except for the hoarse calls of the black ravens, these were not things from the Lonely Mountain. The unpleasant sound made Balin and the others shudder.

"It seems that the evil dragon entrenched in the lonely mountain is still living in the underground city of this mountain range." Bilbo was a little frightened when he saw the black smoke rising from the rubble and the dead atmosphere.

Gao Yuan didn't take it seriously: "That's just right, it allows us to trap Smaug in this dungeon, at least we don't have to fight a dragon flying in the sky."

"Gao Yuan is right, the dragon lying on the ground is not a dragon, it's just a fire-breathing lizard; only the dragon flying in the sky is the scariest," Thorin said loudly.

"What should we do, Mr. Gao Yuan." Legolas looked at the black smoke coming out of the door in front of him, with a serious expression on his face.

Gao Yuan pointed to the gate: "All you need to do is to strengthen that gate with me. It is the only exit for the evil dragon to escape from the Lonely Mountain Dungeon."

"If the dragon comes out of the dungeon before we enter it, hide, protect yourself and tell us."

There was not much time left for the expedition, and they chose to split up.

Gao Yuan and the elves are responsible for strengthening the gate of the dwarf kingdom; while Thorin, Bilbo and others are responsible for finding the location of the dwarf's secret door in the lonely mountain.

Far away in the dungeon hall of the Woodland Kingdom.

Thranduil, who was standing in front of the throne, angrily threw a crystal cup in his hand to the ground. Standing in front of him was Tariel with his head bowed and a face full of guilt. The bright red wine splashed all over her.

"How dare you, how dare you deceive me like this." Thranduil roared angrily.

In the hall at this time, besides Thranduil and Tauriel, there was another group of elves standing in the center of the hall.

They are the elves from Rivendell, led by Arwen whom Gao Yuan was thinking about, and his two brothers-in-law, Elohir and Elladan.

Seeing the furious Thranduil, Elothir and Elradan couldn't help but frowned.

At this time, there were still guests in front of him, and Thranduil was so out of control. Therefore, their first impression of the Elven King of the Sindar and Silvan tribes was much worse.

They brought more than 2000 elf soldiers all the way from Rivendell, and followed the footsteps of the expedition to the Woodland Kingdom.

But after all, it was still a step late. Gao Yuan and the others had already left the green forest a week ago.

The elves of Rivendell happened to meet Tauriel and the others who were leading the woodland elf guards to patrol in it when they passed the dense forest river.

In desperation, Tariel had no choice but to lead Arwen and others back to the woodland kingdom, and brought them to see Thranduil.

When Thranduil saw Tariel leading the elves of Rivendell to him, he immediately noticed something was wrong.

Logically speaking, Tariel should have been forbidden by him to leave the dungeon at this time. How did she come into contact with Arwen and others?

So, in front of Rivendell's elf allies, he questioned Tariel unceremoniously.

Ask her where Legolas is at this time, why didn't Legolas, who originally led the elf guard, lead Arwen and others to come to him.

At this moment, Tariel also knew that he was replacing Legolas and patrolling the green forest. He might not be able to hide it, so he fully explained to Thranduil that Legolas led a small team to help the dwarves. out.

So there was the opening scene.
