Chapter 120 Gandalf's News
"Have you really defeated the dragon Smaug?"

"The Elven King Thranduil has led his army to the Lonely Mountain. They said they want to take their own white gemstone necklace from the treasure house."

Iruber Castle.

After hearing the news delivered by Qili, Sorin's entire face instantly turned down.

Originally, the reason why he agreed to exchange the war sheep of the dwarf tribe for the Aken gem was largely to guard against the elves, and worried that they would cause other troubles after knowing the situation of the treasure house.

But I never expected that things would eventually develop in a bad direction.

of course.

Thorin also knew that the news of Smaug's death could not have leaked from them, after all, no one had ever left after entering Irubor.

It is clear.

The news must have leaked from the Iron Hills.

It's just that it's meaningless to continue talking about these right now, and finding a way to prevent the elves from entering the castle is the top priority.

They must not be allowed to make a deal with the giant snake.

Besides, judging from the time, the dwarven heavy warrior on the Iron Hills side should arrive at the Lonely Mountain soon, and he must let the two parties complete the rendezvous, otherwise the transaction will not be completed and the Aken gem will not be obtained.

With his thoughts running fast, Sorin was no longer in the mood to answer his nephew's questions.

After looking back at the gate of the castle that was smashed by Xu Lei, he immediately ordered his subordinates: "We must build fortifications in front of the castle as soon as possible. As long as we can support the dwarf warriors who can support the Iron Hills, we don't have to worry about the threat of those elves." .”

"I'll take people to carry the stones."

Dwalin, who is more combative in the team, quickly responded after hearing the order.

Has absolute loyalty to Thorin.

The voice just fell.

Then he turned around and led the others to carry the stones, trying to find a way to block the gap in the castle gate.

Relying on favorable terrain, fight against the elf army.

As for Bilbo.

Although he no longer needed to fulfill his promise to the dwarves, he always felt a little disrespectful to leave at this time, so he had to stay in Irubor.

After Sorin actually got the Aken gem, he returned to his hometown.

Anyway, he has the magic ring that can make him invisible, so as long as the giant snake in the treasury doesn't attack him, his safety will be guaranteed.

However, although Qili's grade is the youngest in the team, he can also see that this matter is not that simple.

So he did not give up on the question of the answer.

Still asking in a deep voice.

"What the hell is going on here, is Smaug really dead?"

Thorin saw that he couldn't fool Kili, so he hesitated a little and had to explain a few words to him.

"Smaug the dragon, he is dead indeed."

"But not at our hands."

"Smaug disappeared from the subterranean vaults when we entered Erubor."

"You don't need to know too much about this matter. What we have to do now is to stick to Iruber and support the reinforcements of the heavy warriors in the Iron Hills."

Originally, Kili just wanted to know the truth in Lonely Mountain Castle.

But after listening to Sorin's words, he felt more and more confused.

Smaug is clearly dead.

But it wasn't killed by their dwarf expedition team.

Who is the murderer?
He clearly remembered that apart from the dwarves, no other forces had entered the Lonely Mountain.

After a while.

Kili still couldn't figure it out.

Seeing that other people had started to get busy, they had no choice but to temporarily put aside these things in their minds and join the team of building fortifications.

After all, there was always a gap between the dwarves and the elves, and he knew what he should do in the face of such a major event related to race.

……

at the same time.

Just as the dwarves were rushing to build the gap in the castle, the elf king Thranduil, who was rejected by humans, had successfully arrived at the original ruins of the valley city.

And ordered the whole army to take a final rest.

After getting ready, they immediately launched an attack on Lonely Mountain Castle.

Thranduil was full of confidence in this war waged over the white gemstone necklace.

Even without the help of the human army, he can still take the Lonely Mountain, especially if the Iron Hills dwarf warriors have not arrived yet.

But before he could catch his breath, an unexpected visitor suddenly entered the military tent.

It is a wizard from the Maya clan.

gandalf.

"Gandalf, why did you appear on the Lonely Mountain?"

When Thranduil saw Gandalf for the first time, he immediately took the initiative to ask.

There was a look of vigilance in his eyes.

The main reason is that Gandalf's identity is quite special. It will never be a good thing to suddenly appear in his military tent on Lonely Mountain at this time.

"The king of the elves, Bog, the son of Asog, is leading the half-orcs of the Misty Mountains and Ered Mislin towards this side, intending to seize the strategic position of the Lonely Mountain."

"At this time, there must be no war between elves and dwarves."

Gandalf had just escaped from the pursuit of Sauron and the orcs, and he knew the real situation of the Lonely Mountain very well.

So in the face of Thranduil's inquiry, naturally there would be no concealment.

Tell the other person directly what you know.

No matter what.

Thranduil finally waited until the death of the dragon Smaug, which gave him the opportunity to get back the white gemstone necklace belonging to the elves, how could he be willing to give up like this.

Wouldn't the army be transferred in vain?

At the same time, he didn't quite believe what Gandalf said.

But as a powerful wizard, Gandalf still had to give some face, so Thranduil didn't say too much.

Thinking of this, he immediately said: "Our elves are just to get back the white gemstone necklace. As long as Sorin can hand it over, I promise to withdraw immediately."

"I understand."

Having said this, Gandalf knew very well that it was impossible to make the Elf King give in.

Whether the war can be quelled in this way depends on Thorin's intentions in the end.

After understanding this, Gandalf simply decided to go up the mountain together with the elves, trying to promote peace talks between the two parties as an intermediary.

He believes that he still has this ability.

Otherwise, consuming each other's own power will only make the incoming half-orc army cheaper in vain.

that's it.

Without a long delay, Gandalf Thranduil marched towards Lonely Mountain Castle together with the elf army.

Soon it was beyond Irubor.

now.

The gate of the castle that was originally smashed by Xu Lei has been blocked by Sorin and the others with stones, and they firmly occupy the upper position, looking down on the neatly arranged elf army.

"Thorin."

"Although you managed to kill the dragon Smaug."

"But the white gemstone necklace in the treasury belongs to our elves, and I must take it away today."

Standing in front of the army, Thranduil, who was riding a big-horned deer, spoke first, putting some pressure on Thorin and the others on the city wall.

After all, the gap in numbers between the two sides is very large, and it is impossible for the dwarves to defend Iruber Castle.
