Chapter 15 Beorn

On this day, Allen, Allen, and Desaiwei had just returned from patrolling in the north. Since the villagers reclaimed a large amount of farmland nearby, Allen had to arrange for frequent patrols by cavalry to ensure that the villagers who were busy in the fields , will not be suddenly attacked by small-scale wolf cavalry, and the villagers near Wilderness Village are guarded by sentries standing on Karl Rock.

It was already noon when Alan returned to the village. When he came to the lord's longhouse, he happened to see James waiting for him at the door, which made Alan a little nervous. Since the establishment of the village, James was also very nervous. Busy, he was taking care of the wounded soldiers before, and then he started looking for young people in the villagers who are willing to learn medical skills, specifically, smart and clever children between the ages of eight and 12, and he really found a few One, I opened a school with only a few people, intending to pass on my medical philosophy and medical skills. I have to mention here that, except for a few plants, there is not much difference between the ecology of Central China and Calradia. This has something to do with the fact that the authors of both of them are borrowing from each other. Ai Lu feels that this is very lucky. If he goes to a place where no plants can match, most of James' medical skills will be directly abolished.

So usually James doesn’t have time to come to Alan at all, he came to him because of something, the last time he came to Alan was to ask Alan to spend money to buy a lot of medical facilities for him, everything is in the simulator, as long as There are common things in Calradia, and they can be bought for dinars, but they are too expensive, beyond Allen's imagination. A set of surgical instruments made of fine steel and some ordinary glass bottles are actually expensive. I asked Allen for more than 500 dinars, and once I bought four or five sets, the name was to give my students a better learning environment, which directly cost Allen three or four thousand dinars.

But this time Allen guessed wrong. James didn't come to make Allen spend money, but an unusual patient lay in his hospital, and Allen needed to go and see.

It was a giant man with a height of at least [-] meters, with a full beard and messy hair, sticking to his head in strands. When Allen saw him, he was lying on two sheets that merged into one On the same bed, his body was covered with bandages, and there was a metal shackle on his left wrist. It can be seen where he escaped from. The Duin came to Karl's Rock.

Allen recognized the other party's identity at a glance. This is Beorn, the skin-changing man in the movie. Some netizens call him Bear Claw Druid. In fact, it is his magic, a unique ability of their clan.

And the reason why the other party can be recognized at a glance is that apart from the appearance, it is the shackle on the left wrist. This detail is not described in the book, but it is in the movie, and Beorn mentioned it in the movie. He is the earliest resident in the mountains. The half-orcs came down from the north, and often fought with his fellow clansmen. All his family members were captured for the half-orcs to exhibit and have fun. At this time, Allen guessed that he should be Escaped from the captivity of the orcs.

Allen didn't expect to see Beorn at this time, because neither the original book nor the movie explained when Beorn started living near Karl Rock, and the original book and movie are probably not the same thing , because in the original book, Beorn has a son and the same family, his son is called Grim Beorn, he did not live with Beorn, but Beorn received Sorin and his party that night , Beorn was partying with many big bears, and Alan didn’t know if there were any of his sons among them. In a certain year after the Battle of the Five Armies, Grim Beorn succeeded the dead Beorn and became Beorn The leader of the En clan.

In the movie, Beorn said that he is already the last of their family. Of course, we cannot rule out that Beorn will marry a wife and have children. After all, they are pure human beings, but they are a little taller and have some special features. Magic only, but during the time Beorn received Thorin he was alone.

Just as Allen recalled Beorn's message, there was a chattering sound outside. It turned out that Kress had heard that the villagers had salvaged a two-meter-tall giant and had come to watch the fun. Her arrival not only It only interrupted Allen's memories, and woke up the sleeping Beorn.

After waking up, Beorn saw himself in an unfamiliar environment, surrounded by a group of people watching him, and suddenly sat up, his eyes were very vigilant, and he looked around quickly, looking at the people in the room, After a long time, he asked in a low voice, "Where am I? How long have I been in a coma? Who are you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Beorn stared at Kress' neck as if he had seen something, and stopped talking.

Alan walked up to the giant man who was sitting about as tall as himself, looked at him and said, "My friend, this is Wilderness Village, and I am Alan, the leader here, and this is the hospital in the village. Come here!" It should have been half a day since we arrived here, do you need any help?"

Beorn didn't speak, and raised his thick arm and pointed at Kress' neck. Allen was a little strange, and looked back, and the sapphire pendant was shining brightly on Kress' neck.

Allen stretched out his hand and signaled Kress to give him the pendant. Kress was a little reluctant, but he still took off the pendant and handed it to Allen. Allen sent the sapphire to Beorn's open left hand. superior.

Beorn who took the pendant didn't say anything, just looked at the sapphire quietly, stroked it gently with his right index finger, and said: "This is a gift from my brother to his daughter, it's a pity that their family is together Years ago, they were captured by a group of half-orcs riding wolves, stranger, it seems that you have killed quite a few half-orcs."

After speaking, he handed the sapphire back to Kress, and said: "Please treat it well."

Then Beorn looked at Allen and said: "Thank you for your treatment, I am leaving now, I have to save my family, they are still in the captivity of the orcs, goodbye, if you If I have the chance, I will repay you."

As he spoke, Beorn stood up and walked out of the hospital room with a low body.

Allen followed Beorn out of the wooden house, raised his head and said to Beorn, "Are you going to save them with injuries all over your body? Are you alone? Then why do you think that now Can you beat their orcs in custody?"

Beorn stopped and looked back at Alan. He was thinking. He wanted to ask Alan for help, but he didn't know how to speak. His eloquence was not good, and he didn't think so. With a few words, he could ask the strange young leader in front of him to help him.

Allen didn't need him to speak, looked at his tangled expression, and said directly: "We are living together in this place full of evil forces, and we should help each other. Strange friends, I can help you, but we need a plan. First I need to figure out where are they?"

Beorn looked at Allen, with a look of excitement on his face. He was not good at expressing, he spoke very straight, and he didn't understand euphemism at all. At this moment, he was very anxious, and said in a low voice: "I know where they are , They are guarded by Borg, the son of Asog the Defiler, there are hundreds of them, when I escaped, they were advancing in the tunnel, preparing to go to Orc Town to exhibit my people, I know the tunnel, We can get ahead of them and ambush them."

Beorn started to gnash his teeth after talking about it. It seems that Beorn at this time is far from being as calm as when he met Thorin.

"Okay, strangers, as long as you can provide a familiar guide, then this is a favor, I think I can help you."

Allen looked at Beorn and said categorically, then turned around and ordered to his subordinates:
"Aileen, go and tell Ota to come to see me right away. I need their strength now. Kress, go and tell Jamila to prepare food that is easy to carry for three to five days. After an hour, I will Just need it."

After ordering Allen and Kress, Allen said to Beorn again: "I suggest you use this time to eat something, let our doctor James take a good look at your wound, I need Go gather some other forces, don't worry, we'll be going soon."

After finishing speaking, Allen left, he was going to find Gunding, he needed the power of Nord's royal guards.

An hour later, more than 100 people gathered at the gate of the village. In addition to the forest residents who had defected to Alan recently, there were also Alan, Beorn, Aileen, Desaiwei, and Kress who was rushing to join in the fun. Nine senior Rhodok archers and ten Nord royal guards did not summon the Swadian knights because they were going to fight in the tunnel this time, while Bundak and Rhodok sharpshooters were left to Fati At the same time, Alan handed over the right to recruit the Rhodoks to Fatis, and told Fatis that before he returned, the guarding of the village would be handed over to him.

After Alan explained everything, he set off with the summoned people. When they were summoned, Alan had already told them the whole story. Their being able to come here showed that they had no objection to this mission.

The terrain of the Misty Mountains is very complex, with cliffs, precipices, dense forests, rivers, valleys, waterfalls, everything that one expects to find. Because of this, Allen chose the forest dwellers who have lived in the Misty Mountains as the main force for this ambush. Desaiwei and Clay Si and Rhodok's senior crossbowmen can be considered comfortable walking in this mountainous area. Only Elaine and ten Nord royal guards are very tired from walking, even if their equipment is shared equally by more than 100 people, even Elaine Lundu carried the helmet of one of them on his back, and they also walked out of breath.

This situation was alleviated to a certain extent when they passed through a hidden cave with a torch and entered the tunnel in the Misty Mountains, but before entering the tunnel, Allen ordered the soldiers to collect a large amount of firewood.

The road in the tunnel is also difficult to walk, but the terrain is relatively less complicated than in the mountains. It is all stone roads, and not all uphill, there are flat roads and downhill, which is much easier to walk than in the mountains.

Alan and Beorn have been talking non-stop while they are on the road. Beorn is very strange. Why does Alan, who has never met before, risk a huge risk to help him save his family? Beorn is on the road I asked Alan this question many times, and Alan would answer every time, "Living in such an environment, we should help each other." "I have enough strength to help you now, why not?" "I I helped you now, won't you help me in the future?"

Such an answer is not enough to dispel Beorn's doubts, but he can feel that Allen has no malice towards him, not only has no malice, but he also personally led the soldiers to the dangerous tunnel in the Misty Mountains to rescue his relatives. What else?He is not good at expressing himself, so he will not bring up such a topic with Allen later.

Of course Allen has no malice towards him. He just wants to establish a friendly relationship with Beorn. He doesn't want to subdue Beorn. This is not in the Three Kingdoms. He needs to subdue some fierce generals to attack other princes , this is Middle Earth, where the enemies of the order camp are placed. Sauron is on the evil tower every day, staring at all the kind people with that big eye. When the crisis comes, everyone can form a support The situation is fine, why make it so complicated.

Moreover, the Beorn race is versatile. It is not only good at domesticating animals, but also proficient in making various dairy products and pastries. It can also raise bees, which can produce a lot of honey and brew mead. These are all things that Allen will need in the future. Doesn't a town need its own commerce items?This is why Allen helped Beorn. When the time comes, he will find a few ingenious villagers to learn from Beorn. Beorn should not refuse. Not only will the quality of life of the people be greatly improved by then, but also Wouldn't it be nice to be able to mass-produce mead on a large scale, and then trade it with elves or dwarves.

Of course, the attitude of Alan's villagers towards animals is really too unfriendly. There are many, many hunters among them. He intends to let Beorn live in his own village, isn't there a large oak forest nearby?It was the place where Beorn lived in the original book. Allen had already thought about it, so he placed Beorn's family there, and then formed a nature reserve to prevent the villagers from hunting.

Allen was always looking for a suitable place to ambush on the way. Beorn didn't really understand this. Allen estimated that Beorn's so-called ambush might just suddenly jump out of a certain place and jump into the enemy pile. Use your own big slap to slap the enemy away, but the art of war is not like this. Time, location, and harmony are all important. Now the time is gone, and the tunnel is pitch black. Allen can only use the light of the torch , I can barely see clearly, but Allen still has to fight for the favorable location.

Soon, after walking in the tunnel for about two hours, Allen found a suitable place. This is a river channel about 100 meters long. The narrowest part is only four or five meters, and the widest part may be 20 meters. One side leads directly to the top of the tunnel, and on one side there is a five to sixty meter long and uneven cliff, most of which are more than two meters wide and about four or five meters high. Allen seriously confirmed to Beorn that Borg After receiving a definite answer as to whether the troops would pass by, Allen commanded the entire team to stop.

Allen first ordered Kress to find a place to climb up the cliff, while he walked slowly through the entire river, observed the overall situation of the cliff, and after coming to the conclusion that it was not easy to climb, Allen decided to ambush The location is here.

Ambush requires a lot of preparation work. Allen first ordered Ota to take more than 100 mountain residents to climb to the cliff with the help of the rope hanging from Kress. After thinking about it, he asked Allen to take his relatives Wei also climbed up.And let them move all the firewood they collected to the cliff.

Finally, I handed Ota a few cans of kerosene and told him that he could use this thing to quickly ignite the fire. Once Allen sent a signal, Ota and the others would light the bundled firewood and throw it into the enemy team. It can cause panic to the enemy, and Ota and the others can also use these firelights to shoot the enemy condescendingly on the cliff without hurting the captives Allen wants to save.

Allen, Beorn, Desevi and ten Nord royal guards are hiding on this side of the river, waiting for Borg's arrival. They will block the exit of the canyon and block the enemy's direction of advancement. This time Allen specially asked the Nord royal guards to bring the Noble Shield. After all, shields are much easier to use than giant axes to block the enemy's way.

Of course, Allen didn't choose to cut off all the enemy's escape routes. In other words, they are here to save people. If the enemy has no way out, God knows what these evil and cruel guys will do.

After all the preparations were completed, Beorn made some calculations and told Allen that since half-orcs like to move around at night, most of the time they are nocturnal, so the escort convoy still has about half a day, that is, Came here in the middle of the night today.

Allen thought about it, and it is already the afternoon of the second day. Everyone has driven at least a hundred kilometers, and there are still some mountain roads. To ensure the next battle, Allen gave an order for all the staff to rest. Everyone ate cold and hard food, drank the boiled water prepared in advance, and then fell asleep.

After resting for three hours, Allen woke up and woke up his subordinates. He didn't dare to sleep for too long. Although there were guards, too many people woke up suddenly. In the environment of the tunnel, That movement will definitely arouse the suspicion of the enemy, and Allen can't bet.

Then everyone waited silently in the dark for the arrival of the enemy, which was very painful, unable to speak, unable to light the fire, and the range of vision was extremely limited, only able to see the teammates around them, which was very difficult for those who lived in the sun all year round It's hard for people to adapt.

This torment seemed to last for a long, long time, until a little movement came from the distance of the tunnel.
