The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 58 The Elite of Iron Hills.

At noon, the winter sun shone warmly on the people of River Valley City, bringing some warmth to the cold weather.

Humans, wizards, and elves gathered in that tent again.

Thranduil looked at the box, half of the shining necklace, and the contract spread out on the table, and fell into deep thought.

Allen stared at the elf king, guessing his inner thoughts,

From the corner of Thranduy's slightly raised mouth, Allen knew that Thranduy should be in a very good mood at this time.

Of course that's fine, the token of love between him and his wife finally came back to him after 200 years.

Even if it was only half, it was enough to make him feel happy, and the contract on the table also gave this Sinda hope to get the other half back.

Indeed, Thranduil was in a good mood, one could even describe it as happy, he hadn't been this happy for many years.

Moreover, after seeing these gems and contracts, he was also relieved.

If it was possible to retrieve the Starlight Gem through other means, how could Thranduil be willing to massacre the dwarves?

After all, he is the king of the kind race. If he hadn't been forced to a certain extent, it would be impossible for him to raise the butcher's knife against his former allies.

And the consequences of slaughtering the dwarves of Durin's family would be terrible, and the half-orcs living in the Misty Mountains felt deeply about this.

Thranduil was not unwilling to sign this contract, he was just thinking about whether he could get all the gems back before then.

Even elves show greedy traits towards certain things.

But before Thranduil could think too long, other guests rushed to the Lonely Mountain.

No, it should not be said to be guests, it should be said to be hosts, they are Durin dwarves from the Iron Hills, led by Ironfoot Dyne, they came to support Thorin Oakenshield.

Under the shining of the winter sun, they appeared directly on the hillside to the east of the gate of the Lonely Mountain. They were groups of heavily armored dwarven infantry reflecting silver light.

They all wear standard plate armor that can cover most of their bodies. These plate armors have a strong dwarf style, consisting of large pieces of metal plates. At a glance, they can be known to be extremely strong.

And at the movable joints of the large piece of armor, there is a chain armor made of small metal rings, which has the unique craftsmanship of the dwarves, which does not affect their activities and can bring them high defense force.

And the weapon they are good at is a spear with a length of more than three meters. The blade of the spear is shining coldly in the sun.

Not only that, but as hoplites, their left hands are equipped with tower shields that are extremely suitable for dwarves. The shield wall they are proud of relies on these shields to complete.

Their secondary weapon is the dwarven longsword equipped at the waist. When the enemy approaches them, this sophisticated weapon can drink the blood of the enemy.

Looking at their weapons and equipment armed to the teeth, anyone can tell that they are the absolute elite of the Iron Hills warriors. Many of them are old dwarf warriors who participated in the Battle of Moria.

These soldiers who came to support their own race almost filled the hillside to the east of the gate of the Lonely Mountain. Under the sun, they silently stared at the elves stationed in River Valley City.

Immediately afterwards, five dwarven chariots pulled by more than a dozen bighorn goats slowly drove out from the dwarven team.

Each vehicle is driven by four dwarves, and a powerful continuous mechanical crossbow. These continuous crossbows have an extremely fast rate of fire, and their penetrating power can even kill rough-skinned and thick-skinned trolls head-on.

The body is made of all steel, even the wheels are made of metal, and a sharp blade extends from the center of the wheel. Any enemy who blocks in front of them will be crushed to pieces.

Then hundreds of dwarf cavalry riding bighorn goats slowly walked out of the dwarf infantry.

They are the rare shock cavalry among the dwarves. The bighorn goats are powerful enough to carry dwarves in plate armor, and the two hard horns can also knock away any enemy who wants to stop them in battle.

And at the forefront of the goat cavalry is the king of the iron hills riding a wild boar, Ironfoot Dyne.

The king of the Iron Hills was lost in confusion as he looked at the elves emitting golden light in River Valley City.

His cousin Thorin Oakenshield clearly said in a letter that Thranduil would lead the spirits of the Black Forest to besiege the Lonely Mountain and rob the treasure in the Lonely Mountain, and asked him to hurry up and send troops to support him.

Ironfoot Dyne, who got the news, gathered the most elite 700 soldiers under his command in a hurry, and rushed here from Iron Hills day and night.

And in a later time, nearly 500 dwarf soldiers will arrive at the lonely mountain.

But Dyne, who just came here, felt something was wrong when he saw this peaceful scene.

Didn't the woodland elves besiege the Lonely Mountain?This is not like ah.

As part of Durin's family, Dyne Ironfoot is also stubborn and reckless. According to Gandalf, Thorin Oakenshield is easy to talk to even when he is not awake, but one thing is that he is not stupid.

Dyne felt that the situation in front of him didn't look like those woodland monsters were going to besiege the Lonely Mountain. It was more like they were stationed in River Valley City to help defend the Lonely Mountain.

The humans farther away seemed to be repairing the defenses of River Valley City, as if they were guarding against the enemies from the south of the gate of Gushan.

In short, this harmonious scene did not make Dyne feel the slightest sense of tension.

This made the King of the Iron Hills a little confused, but he didn't hesitate too much. Entering the Lonely Mountain is now the top priority.

So he immediately commanded the soldiers under his command to march towards the gate of Gushan.

And the members of the expedition team inside the lonely mountain discovered them when the dwarf army first appeared.

This filled their hearts with excitement, and after cheers, they began to clear the hard-won barrier at the gate, making it easier for the Iron Hills army to enter the Lonely Mountain Kingdom.

At this moment, Ellen, Gandalf, and Thranduil stood on the watchtower of River Valley City, watching the elite troops from the Iron Hills enter the gate of the Lonely Mountain Kingdom.

Thranduil didn't send troops to stop him, but it was already too late. When he was considering whether to increase the price, the dwarves' cavalry had already approached the gate of the Lonely Mountain, and they took a defensive posture, guarding the infantry, chariots, and soldiers behind them. The ballista entered the lonely mountain.

And after all this was over, Thranduil, who returned to the tent, immediately signed his name on the contract, and he had his own considerations.

Regardless of whether orcs will attack the Lonely Mountain or not, if he still hopes to get back the other half of the Starlight Gem, then this contract may be the best way.

Now there is an army of nearly 1000 dwarves stationed in the lonely mountain. It is impossible to rely on his light elf troops to attack the lonely mountain.

This elf king now has a little bit of undue expectation in his heart about whether Thorin Oakenshield can keep his promise.

After all, Allen relied on a promise to help him get back half of the gems, didn't he?
Of course Allen couldn't guess Thranduil's thoughts, and now he is directing everyone in the city to repair the city defense facilities of River Valley City.

He first ordered some people to take a sledgehammer to directly smash a section of the bridge leading to the outside world from River Valley City, and then arranged for others to repair the city wall.

It's not just about repairing the city walls. These settings, which were originally used to protect the town, have been damaged so badly in many places that it is no longer possible to garrison soldiers.

Allen also had to organize the soldiers to set up a second blocking point and a third blocking point on the street, so that they could be connected with the existing city wall to form a complete defense zone, so as not to be directly rushed in by the orcs from the gap.

This job really worried Allen. He was busy riding around the entire River Valley City on his elf horse, directing the soldiers to place suitable obstacles in the right position.

Not only that, when Allen was wandering around River Valley City, he also found a few trebuchets that looked very reluctant. I don't know if these things can still be used after nearly 200 years.

Just as he was directing the people to place the catapult in a suitable position, an elf ran over, saying that a group of dwarven cavalry had come running from the lonely mountain, and asked to see him by name.

Alan was a little puzzled, could it be that Thorin Oakenshield had a complete understanding and returned to normal after seeing his cousin again?
When he rode his elf horse through countless busy crowds and finally came to the door, he immediately found Ironfoot Dyne leading a team of goat riders.

After all, the two of them are old friends, and they are very familiar with each other.

At this time, Dyne was fully armed and was waiting for him on the other side of the bridge. Even wearing a helmet, Allen could see his angry face.

Alan brought his personal guards and came to Ironfoot Dyne without any haste, looking down at the dwarf king from the horse.

Alan didn't deliberately want to embarrass Dyne, it's just that this guy came here angrily, it must be no good, so Alan is going to see Dyne's reaction first, whether he will directly draw out the weapon, then Alan It's also easier to deal with right away.

And Dai Yi looked up at Alan with his neck up. As the king of one party, he felt that this kind of staring was particularly awkward. After all, he came to Alan to discuss an explanation.

So Dyne wanted to change this situation, and then he began to search left and right, trying to find a place where he could be at eye level with Allen.

It's just that there is really no suitable place nearby, and the dwarf king fell into a slight embarrassment for a while.

Allen, who was riding on a horse and looking at Dyne, smiled. He knew that there was room for negotiation.

He quickly got off his horse and came to Dyne, and said with a smile: "Dyne, why do you have time to come and see me? Don't you need to catch up with your cousin? It's not easy for him to take back the Lonely Mountain .”

Dyne looked at Alan who was at the same level as him, and finally felt a little more comfortable in his heart, but what Alan said made his anger rise again.

When he spoke, his voice was unhurried at the beginning, and even seemed a little soft, but the content of the words was full of aggression.

"Alan, my cousin told me that you used despicable means to defraud him of a contract and half of the Starlight Gem, so please, for the sake of our friendship, hurry up and give it to me." Let me explain, otherwise"

Dyne didn't finish his sentence, but at the end of the sentence, Dyne seemed to be unable to control his anger, his eyebrows and beard trembled, and his eyes were fixed on Allen.

Allen knew that Dyne could come here because of the sick Thorin. Something happened to Oakenshield again.

He didn't talk nonsense, but directly took out the contract from his body, handed it to Dyne, and said: "This contract is handwritten by Bahrain, signed by your cousin, and I, as a witness, Thrand As the contractor, His Majesty Yi has complete procedures above, and it is impossible to cheat."

After Dyne took it, he looked at it carefully.

Alan didn't stop his words. He felt that he had to remind Dyne that Thorin Oakenshield was abnormal now, and if Dyne was infected again, the next war would probably be cold.

"Dyne, we have known each other for five or six years, and Sorin and I walked from the Shire to the Lonely Mountain together. Don't you feel strange when you see your cousin now? If the contract really exists If it is a question, will Thorin not come with you?"

At this time, Dyne had already read the contract quickly. The document was complete and the handwriting was correct. He didn't find any problems.

And when he came out of the lonely mountain, his distant cousin Bahrain also vaguely reminded him a few words.

Dyne just didn't understand why things turned out like this. Allen should be a good friend. After all, he and Allen had a friendship for four or five years.

In the past few years, Allen would often visit him with a gift, and he would also give the gift to Allen in return. The friendship between the two is not fake.

Moreover, Dyne had indeed discovered that Thorin Oakenshield was abnormal.

In his impression, Sorin should be an outstanding dwarf who dared to face any difficulties. In the past, the Durin clan was occupied by Smaug, and the Durin dwarves in Lonely Mountain were displaced. For more than 100 years, it was not because of Sorin. Leading the tribe to find a pretty good life.

Such a matter of seeking justice should not come forward at all, and Sorin would come by himself.

But now he is actually unwilling to take a step out of the lonely mountain, but ordered himself to ask Allen for a contract and gems, which in itself reveals strangeness.

So Dyne asked the real purpose of the trip: "Then what's going on?"

After Alan heard it, he knew that Dyne had also noticed Thorin's situation, so this matter was much easier to explain.

He found a suitable stone next to him, sat on it, took out the kettle, moistened his throat, and started a long speech.
