Chapter 1340 Ending the Battle Tomorrow
"Yes, I can escape because of Didi."

Gandalf said sincerely: "If there was no Didi this time, I'm afraid I would have died in the magic capital. Of course, Didi alone could not defeat Sauron and the nine ring spirit kings, so Didi brought Queen Galadriel and King Elrond and Saruman the White Wizard."

King Thranduil immediately nodded, "With Queen Galadriel here, it's no wonder you were able to retreat unscathed."

Gandalf said: "In any case, Sauron's army has already set off. Their goal is to capture the Lonely Mountain. They don't care about the treasures in the Lonely Mountain. What they want is the location of the Lonely Mountain. Do you have a map? ?”

"Yes." King Thranduil immediately winked at the elf guards behind him, and the two elf guards carried a thick map blanket and placed it on the table.

After the map was unfolded, Thranduil pointed to the center and said, "Here is Lonely Mountain, and here is Hegu Town where we are now."

Gandalf said: "In the north of the Lonely Mountain, that is, behind the Lonely Mountain, is Gundabad. After passing through the Gundabad Fortress, there is the ancient Kingdom of Angmar--I have already seen Sauron's strategic intentions. He wants to rebuild the kingdom of Angmar, take the polar region as his new territory, and then swallow the entire world of Middle-earth."

As Gandalf spoke, he gestured on the huge map.

"Once the Lonely Mountain is occupied by the monster legion, it is tantamount to exposing the entire Middle-earth world to Sauron's fangs. He can eat whoever he wants. And if we want to organize an alliance army to fight against the monster legion If you want to do this, you have to be attacked by the Gundabad fortress first. In the past, the Lonely Mountain belonged to the dwarves, and the ancient Angmar Kingdom was destroyed, so Sauron's army did not dare to act rashly. Later, Smaug occupied On Lonely Mountain, Sauron still didn't dare to act rashly, but now that Smaug is dead, the Lonely Mountain dwarves have no army, and the seven dwarf tribes can hardly unite their minds. For Sauron, it is the best way to seize this strategic location Here's the chance."

Bud frowned and asked, "Master, what do you mean we can't fight among ourselves at this time, but should unite to protect the Lonely Mountain?"

Gandalf nodded.

King Thranduil raised his head and laughed loudly, "Hahaha! Protect the Lonely Mountain? The Lonely Mountain is facing us, why do they need our protection? Besides, I am here to collect debts. Lin gave me the white gemstone necklace, and I naturally withdrew it. As long as Sorin is willing to give a small part of the gold to the refugees in Hegu Town, the refugees will naturally not want war. All the initiative is in Sorin's hands. Lin's hands, but now you want us to protect Gushan?"

Gandalf said with a gloomy face: "I know, everyone may not accept what I say, but this is really a matter of the safety of Middle-earth!"

King Thranduil looked down at the map, then shrugged and said, "Gandalf, you are right, but where is the army of monsters now? According to the mountains on the map, if they want to come from the magic city, It takes at least half a month to reach the Lonely Mountain, and, didn’t you also say that? Sauron was repelled by Queen Galadriel and fled to the east. Since Sauron, the master, has retreated, then his The army, why not retreat?"

Gandalf opened his mouth, not knowing how to refute King Thranduil for a while.

Indeed, judging from the topographical map, it would take at least half a month for the army of Mordor to reach the lonely mountain.

King Thranduil said with a smile: "As for the Lonely Mountain, we can take it in one day. After we take down the Lonely Mountain, we will take what we need, and then hand over the Lonely Mountain to a more appropriate place." The dwarves in charge of him, in this way, Lonely Mountain is still a fortress belonging to the alliance, and it can also deal with the army of monsters."

Gandalf frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple."

King Thranduil said coldly: "Do I still have to beg that boy Sorin, begging him to let us protect the Lonely Mountain? Do we want us to bleed and die on the periphery, and let him stand in the palace of the Lonely Mountain?" Are you watching indifferently? Gandalf, do you think this is fair to us? What do you think? Your Excellency Bard the Dragon Slayer?"

Bud frowned and said: "I have negotiated with Sorin, and I feel that Sorin is really crazy. I am thinking, even if we are willing to protect the lonely mountain, Sorin will not think that we are helping He, he might even stab us in the back. Archmage, of course we want to protect Middle-earth, but first, we must survive ourselves, not freeze to death, not starve to death."

King Thranduil nodded and said, "That's right."

Gandalf sighed helplessly, and turned to Snow Emperor and Iron Hammer and asked, "Ms. Snow Di, Lady Hammer, what do you think?"

Iron Hammer immediately said: "To be honest, I have long disliked Thorin's actions. However, my opinion is not important. After all, I have never been a decision maker. I listen to our captain."

Xue Di said indifferently: "Let's talk about it after your Master Didi comes back."

King Thranduil asked: "What if Lord Didi doesn't come back before dawn tomorrow?"

Xuedi said lightly: "Then you can take care of yourself."

King Thranduil smiled and said, "That's fine."

Gandalf thought for a while and asked, "Is there any more wine?"

King Thranduil's face tightened, "No more."

Gandalf muttered: "If it's gone, it's gone, what can I say... I'm gone, I have to find a place to rest."

Bud said quickly: "Master, I'll make arrangements for you."

"Thank you very much." Gandalf followed Bard and left.

Snow Empress and Iron Hammer also nodded to King Thranduil, and left the big tent.

King Thranduil breathed a sigh of relief, sat back on the throne, and took out a new wine glass as if by magic.

His attendant hastily filled the moonlight wine for him.

King Thranduil held his cup and didn't drink for a long time.

——Sauron is still alive, and Middle-earth will soon face destruction.

King Thranduil sighed faintly, and asked in a deep voice, "Is there any news about His Royal Highness and Tauriel?"

"They seem to have gone to Gundabad Fort."

"Gundabad..." King Thranduil's heart ached, and the wine in his cup almost spilled out.

"Your Majesty?" the attendant asked cautiously, "Do you need to call His Highness back?"

King Thranduil smiled wryly, "No need, he has grown up, it's time to face some things alone, pass on the order, double the security patrols tonight, and make no mistakes."

"Yes!"

"Tomorrow..." Thranduil looked through the tent, looking at the brightly lit lonely mountain far away, "The battle must end."
