Chapter 874
In fact, everyone knew that Bilbo's words were not entirely sarcasm.

With the number and abilities of the thirteen dwarves, trying to pass through the misty mountain range full of dangers is a matter of narrow escape.

There are all kinds of dangerous monsters in the Misty Mountains. These monsters are all left over from the time of Morgoth, and they are terrifying enemies that have not been cleared by the Holy White Council and the alliance army.

After defeating Morgoth and the Demon King Sauron, the alliance quickly disintegrated. After all, when there is a strong enemy, everyone can stand together through thick and thin. After the biggest enemy is dead, everyone only thinks about themselves. interests, no one wants to waste their own strength, and do more for the alliance.

Therefore, although Morgoth and the Demon Lord Sauron are both finished, the monsters left behind by them have not been completely wiped out, and most of these monsters have gathered in the Misty Mountains.

In recent decades, there has been a growing trend.

Therefore, just crossing the Misty Mountains is already very dangerous, let alone facing the dragon Smaug created by Morgoth himself.

The Seven Kingdoms don't want to send troops to help the Oak Shield tribe, which is actually reasonable.

The former king of the Oak Shield tribe, that is, Sorin's grandfather, King Thor, had become a complete lunatic in the later period of his reign. The seven dwarf kings also had reason to worry that the current Prince Sorin is probably also a lunatic. .

They will not hand over their fighters to a lunatic who is eager to restore the country.

"... Bilbo, please brighten the light here." Gandalf cleared his throat and took out an ancient map.

Bilbo hurried to find the candle. He also knew that what he said just now was a bit hurtful, so he tried his best to make up for these "poor" dwarves.

The dwarves didn't care about anything with Bilbo any more, they all focused on looking at the map that Gandalf had unfolded.

Gandalf said: "In the far east, across countless rivers and mountains, across endless forests and deserts, there stands this lonely mountain, which is the territory of the Oakshield tribe for generations-the lonely mountain is also ours. The destination of this operation."

A red-bearded dwarf Oli said: "That's right, my brother Ouyin is a prophet. Through divination, he predicted that the time has come!"

The dwarf Ouyin who was sitting next to him took a deep breath, closed his eyes and said, "That's right, I predicted that a black raven flew back to the Lonely Mountain, exactly as described in the prophecy! The prophecy said, When the birds of old return to Erebor, the dominion of the beasts will end."

Ouli said: "Although the prophecy didn't say how and by whom the beast was terminated, the results are all terminated!"

The dwarves knocked on the table excitedly.

The dwarf named Doli stood up and announced loudly: "Let's find that nasty charizard. I want its chrysanthemum to taste like a dwarf's iron rod!"

"Well said, Dolly!"

The dwarves applauded Dolly.

The aged Bahrain said worriedly: "If you want to deal with Smaug, an entire army may not be able to do it, let alone we only have 13 people, and we are not the most outstanding 13 people, nor the smartest 13 people."

Qili frowned and said, "Uncle Balin, what do you mean by saying that? Could it be that you are scared and don't want to participate in this operation?"

Balin quickly said: "Qili, you misunderstood me, I'm already dying, and I don't have a few years to live. To be able to die bravely for the Oak Shield tribe is the glory I've been pursuing all my life—but, I Personal glory is small, but whether we can recover our country is the big thing! What we want is not to die in battle, but to regain the lonely mountain! Therefore, we must thoroughly analyze every step, including our resources, as well as the strength of the enemy."

The dwarves present nodded their heads.

Philip said: "That's right, we should indeed plan carefully, but everyone knows that this task itself is an impossible task. We know that it is impossible, but we still have to do it, because we are all fighters who would rather die than surrender." We can't continue to live like this anymore! There are some things that you have to worry about a thousand times, so why don't you just rush forward and do it straight away!"

Qili said: "Also, don't forget, we have a powerful wizard accompanying us on this mission! There is also a good swordsman, and a lady with 64/[-] dwarf blood! Oh, there is also a Hospitable Snitch!"

The dwarves knocked on the table excitedly.

Bilbo waved his hand quickly and said, "It's not me, don't talk nonsense, I'm not!"

He is the equivalent of a prince among the Hobbits!Worry about food and clothing!Admired!

Why risk it with a bunch of filthy dwarves?

Moreover, we still have to face an ancient dragon that can breathe fire!
Ha ha!Only a fool would go!
"Don't worry, our friends," Ouyin said with a smile, "Our wizard Gandalf is the archmage of the Holy White Council. With his ability, it is no problem to kill hundreds of dragons with his own hands."

The dwarves present immediately cheered.

Gandalf said hastily: "Well, I actually...cough cough..."

The wizards of the Holy White Council are indeed powerful, but Gandalf's current strength is not the strongest. He separated at least half of his strength and gave it to the white robe mage Saruman to make a mana ring.

So his current strength is not as strong as others imagined.

Of course, even if he didn't hand over half of the mana, his strength would not be able to destroy hundreds of dragons, and it would be difficult to destroy even one.

The dragon is a monster created by Morgoth himself.

Morgoth is one of the fifteen main gods, and the wizards of the Holy White Council are only secondary gods.

When Morgoth created the giant dragon, he made it with the characteristics of the strongest combat power, while when the lesser gods were created, the focus was on working ability, not fighting ability.

Therefore, in terms of fighting alone, it is difficult for Gandalf to kill a giant dragon alone, and it is also difficult for a giant dragon to kill a secondary wizard.

It's just that the dwarves will definitely not agree with this kind of rational analysis.

They pinned their hopes on Gandalf, and Gandalf didn't want to disappoint them.

"enough!"

While the dwarves were arguing about how many dragons Gandalf could kill, Thorin thumped the table hard.

The whole Bag End hummed and quivered.

Why do dwarves like to pat the table so much?

Bilbo closed his eyes in pain, feeling sorry for the long table passed down by his grandfather's uncle's aunt.

Thorin looked around majestically, and when all the dwarves calmed down, he said majesticly: "There are rumors that no one has seen the dragon that occupies our Lonely Mountain Palace for 60 years. gone."

"There's been a lot of speculation about Smaug."

Sorin said coldly: "Some people say it is still alive, some people say it is dead, but as time goes by, more and more eyes are staring at the Palace of Lonely Mountain, they are thinking, wandering, hesitating Weighing the pros and cons! Once they feel the time is right, they won’t care who the Lonely Mountain belongs to! They will divide up our wealth, leaving us with only an empty palace!”
