"If the money is in place, he won't start a war."

"That's good." Balin breathed a sigh of relief, "We can fight elves, but there is really no need to fight humans."

"Gandalf, where have you been?" Bofur looked at him puzzled, "Why did you come here?"

"Something has happened, Bofur.

What about Thorin?This matter must let him know. "

"Sorin he..." Balin paused a little, "he is sitting on the throne in the hall."

"My God!" Gandalf rolled his eyes. "He's going the way of his grandfather, and this is the hour."

"No way!" said Bilbo. "He's allowed us to give some of the gold to the people of Long Lake!"

"That can only prove that he was able to stay awake before, but it's really hard to say now." Gandalf said a little tiredly, "Don't underestimate the magic power of gold, and it is gold that has been occupied by dragons for a long time. Anyone who enters this mountain will be polluted by the evil breath of the dragon."

"Not everyone." Aaron looked at Bilbo, and then at the dozen or so dwarves beside him. "Absolutely not. I have confidence in Thorin. He will not be his grandfather."

"I hope!" sighed Gandalf, and hurried down the stairs.

When they came to the hall, the three of them stood among the massive amount of gold coins, looking up at Sorin wearing the crown.

At this moment, Sorin made them all feel a little strange, his eyes were dull and almost colorless.

Aaron and Bilbo looked at each other. They had only been away for a long time, and Thorin had changed a bit too much.

"Thorin."

"Gandalf, have you come back to celebrate me?"

"No, I'm here to inform you.

The orc army is on the way, and they are preparing to attack Irubor. "

"Dan's Iron Foot will kill them all, and damn anyone who tries to steal my gold."

Aaron frowned slightly, "What about the one promised to the people of Changhu?"

"This, I, this is different." Thorin struggled for a moment, then said falteringly: "I will give them, but isn't one fifteenth too much?"

Aaron smiled lightly and shook his head, hoping Thorin could come out by himself, otherwise he could only use some unconventional means.

"One-fifteenth is indeed a little too much, let's just halve it!

One-thirtieth is fine. "

"Aaron." Sorin smiled gratifiedly, "That's right! You don't have to wrong yourself for those irrelevant people.

looking for me? "

"The army of Orcs," Gandalf anxiously emphasized, "they will attack Irubor tomorrow at the earliest, and the day after tomorrow at the latest.

We want you to explain to Dan, don't start a war with the elves, and face the powerful enemy together is the most important thing at the moment. "

"Understood." Thorin said indifferently, "Dan is my cousin, he will listen to me, but he doesn't like elves like me."

"There is no problem with Thranduil," said Bilbo. "The army of the elves will be stationed in Dale State, and will not attack Irubor for a while."

"They don't have that ability either." A look of disdain flashed in Thorin's eyes, "You guys have a good rest, put on your armor and weapons tomorrow, and protect our gold."

The three looked at each other in blank dismay, but since the goal was achieved, there was no need to waste time.

After leaving the hall, Bilbo went to the city gate and told the other dwarves about the content of their negotiations in Dale City, emphasizing that the orcs might come back to attack Irubor, so that everyone was ready for battle.

Gandalf found Aaron, "I should say sorry to you, if I'm not mistaken, the most difficult work in the team should have fallen on you!"

"Speak directly." Aaron rolled his eyes, "Although I am young, don't fool me like a child, you can't fool me."

Gandalf froze for a moment, "I mean it."

"I'm sincere too." Aaron spread his hands, "So can you be more honest?"

"Okay!" Gandalf hesitated for a while, "I can see that you don't want to participate in the war very much, but I still hope that you can do more for the coalition forces without reservation."

"Tsk tsk tsk!" Aaron smacked his lips and looked at Gandalf with a half-smile, "Leaving the team halfway, Thorin and the others were almost eaten by a giant spider in the dark forest. You are not here, and I risked my life to lure them away." More than 20 spiders saved everyone's life.

When we were locked in the dungeon by the woodland elves, you were not there, and I broke the door and let Bilbo out to find the waterway.

We were chased by Borg all the way, Kili was hit by a Morgul arrow, and almost died of poison. You are not here, it is the medicine I prepared that hangs his life.

Finally arrived at the day of Turin, and Thorin and the others couldn't find the secret door. You were not here, so I took it out...the magic compass found the keyhole.

The most unreasonable thing is that when we were fighting Smaug, you were not there. I spent a lot of magic power and a piece of magic crystal to set a trap in Long Lake Town to kill it. "

Several consecutive "you are not here" beat Gandalf's heart heavily, which made him unable to lift his head in embarrassment, and the word "sorry" blurted out. After all, he walked freely at the beginning, but most of the pressure was gone. It fell on a young man named Aaron, which was somewhat unkind.

"Although your apology is not sincere, I still reluctantly accept it.

But what I want to say is that I can hold back that you have not respecting you, you have honored the elderly and the young. Where did you make me more effort? "

Gandalf:  …

Chapter 277 Iron Foot Army, give it a face

Gandalf turned his face away sadly, he didn't expect that he would be speechless by a child after living for so long.

But thinking of the great war that would break out at any time and related to the safety of Middle-earth, he still said cheekily: "Gaius, at this time, the only one I can count on is you.

When I saw you for the first time, I had a feeling that the peace of Middle-earth might fall on you. "

"Hehe!" Aaron sneered and gave him a contemptuous look, "I don't have a sense of mission, and I don't want to be a savior, so don't use such words to perfuse me."

"How can this be perfunctory?" Gandalf said a little anxiously.

"Don't make me despise you, Gandalf.

I admit that you are a good person with a big picture and worthy of respect.

But when good people are treacherous, they can make bad people cry. Even if I have some skills, I'm still just a child, you can't let me alone! Aaron said a little speechlessly, and then counted on his fingers, "King Elrond, Queen Galadriel, Saruman, Redagast, none of them are better than me, can't you find them?" "

Gandalf's face twitched slightly, and he forced out an awkward smile, "Queen Galadriel has consumed too much magic power and is now extremely weak. King Elrond is protecting her, and Saruman will stop Sauron's plot. I don't know when. I'm free, as for Redagast, he's going to rescue soldiers, so...you understand?"

Hey!

Aaron only felt that there were hundreds of millions of alpacas galloping past his heart.

I thought the sky would fall and the tall man would hold it up, but I never expected the tall man to flash faster than him.

"I'm sorry, I've done enough and I don't want to take any more risks." Aaron said solemnly, "You really found the wrong person.

No matter how powerful I am, I'm still only one person, and I can only be crushed when facing an army, so I can't help. "

"I don't want you to face an army." Gandalf explained, "There will be a melee, and I need a man who is fully mobile and can handle the three parties of elves, dwarves and humans to support the battlefield in time.

Gaius, you are mighty, there is no one more suitable than you. "

Aaron blinked, then immediately shook his head and said, "Impossible, who do you think I am? I just want to stay as far away from the battlefield as possible.

Gandalf, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. At this time, I choose to stay and face with you instead of running away with a bucket. "

"Within power," Gandalf added hastily.

"If you say that..." Aaron paused slightly, "It's not impossible."

Gandalf breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile finally appeared on his face, "Take a good rest!"

After Gandalf left, Aaron leaned against the city wall and took a nap, focusing on the system task panel:

[Defeat the half-orc army;

Completing the mission rewards 2000 magic points, and there is no penalty for mission failure. Will the host accept it? 】

"Accept it, just let it take its course."

......

Early the next morning, when the first rays of sunlight appeared in the east.

All the members of the expedition team followed Thorin to the city wall, and not far from them were the elf troops in golden armor ready to go, as well as the human troops in Changhu Town.

The elf king Thranduil was riding a huge elk, and beside him was Bard riding a white horse. The two slowly passed through the center of the army and arrived at the front of the formation.

Because of the agreement reached last night, Thranduil and Bard both restrained and stationed their troops in front of River Valley City, leaving a large buffer zone between them and Irubor.

"Hmph!" Thorin looked at their troops with a sneer, "This is a demonstration."

"No, Thorin, it's not." Gandalf said with some tiredness, "They are just guarding against the orc army that may appear at any time."

"Really? Where are they?" Thorin said indifferently, "Let alone the orc army, I didn't even see a warg.

Although you have reached an agreement with them, their fundamental purpose has not changed, to seize the wealth of our family. "

"Thorn Oakenshield, will you not place so much value on gold."

"Call me the king." Thorin said coldly, "I am the king."

Gandalf sighed deeply, and he also knew that Thorin's mental state was problematic, and he was becoming more and more arbitrary, unable to listen to anyone's words.

But now that the enemy is at hand, dwarves, elves and humans must not fight.

"Aren't the Iron Feet here yet?" asked Bilbo.

As soon as the words fell, a black raven flew over and landed on the city wall.

"Here we come." Thorin smiled triumphantly.

The sound of neat footsteps came from the far hillside, and a large number of dwarf legions came slowly, led by King Dann riding a ferocious wild boar.

The Iron Foot Army is an elite dwarf army, no matter in terms of combat power or numbers, it is not inferior to the combined army of elves and humans.

The dozen or so dwarves on the city wall cheered loudly, and the arrival of the famous Iron Foot Army boosted their morale.

"Is this the Dwarf King of the Iron Hills?" asked Bilbo. "You don't look very happy."

"Dan, Thorin's cousin," said Gandalf, "is more... irrational than Thorin."

"I'm more curious about why he rode a wild boar?" Aaron asked puzzled, "It doesn't match the status of a king, does it?"

"Dan doesn't care about that." Thorin laughed. "What he likes is the impact of the wild boar. The melee charge is almost unstoppable, much better than a horse."

"It doesn't matter, but Thorin, don't forget what you promised us."

"Understood, I understand." Thorin waved his hand, "I will let him restrain himself as much as possible, but if the elves and humans don't know each other and refuse to retreat within two days, then there is no way."

The Iron Foot Army stopped in front of River Valley City, confronting the allied forces of elves and humans at a distance of [-] meters.

Dan looked at Thranduil, without hiding the sarcasm on his face, "Good morning, how are you all?

If you guys will give me a moment, I have a small suggestion, can you people just... fuck off. "

"Get out of here, get out immediately." Dan yelled loudly, making the people of Long Lake, whose number was less than one-tenth of the elves, feel a little fear.

"Don't get excited, Lord Dane," cried Gandalf.

Dan turned his head and looked at the gray-robed wizard on the city wall, "Gandalf the Gray.

Let these beggars go away, or I'll make rivers of blood flow from them. "

"Dwarves, humans and elves don't need to fight. The orc army is coming here. Keep your people calm."

"I can't keep calm in front of the elves." Dan didn't show any face, and pointed the hammer in his hand at Thranduil, "Especially that treacherous woodland elf, the only thing he wants to do is to make my people suffer .

If he dares to obstruct us, I'll screw his head off, and I'll see if he dares to smirk again. "

When Thranduil heard this, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

With one move of his hand, all the archers of the elf army drew their bows and arrows, aiming at the iron foot army on the opposite side.

"Stop, don't be impulsive." Aaron shouted loudly, and then Apparated to the front of the two armies, "King Thranduil, don't forget what we said yesterday."

"I really want to resolve the dispute peacefully." Thranduil said indifferently, "But you have also seen Dan's attitude. He pushes his limits, and it is better to use a sword to reason."

"The overall situation is the most important thing. Think about the white gemstone, Your Majesty the King." Aaron reminded, he especially understood Thranduil's current mood, and he couldn't bear it if it was him.

But now you must exercise restraint no matter what. It is a pleasure for you to shoot the rain of arrows, but a big battle is really unavoidable.

Thranduil took a deep breath, suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and returned the elf troops to their original formation.

"Who are you?" Dan asked curiously, "Which wizard? You can't be Gandalf the Gray's apprentice!"

Hearing this, Gandalf smiled awkwardly.

If he had such an apprentice, he would be able to wake up with a smile in his dreams.

"Don't get me wrong." Aaron shook his head and said, "I don't dare to be his apprentice, otherwise I might not be able to live a good life, and I have to support him in turn."
