Chapter 1196 Everything Is Ready

"No, Gandalf."

Anyang's figure appeared at the door of the restaurant, he looked at Gandalf and Thorin calmly, and said, "The King of the Woodland is too arrogant and conceited, if I tell him directly, I need him to lead his noble and powerful elf army for Lonely Mountain. Fighting a defensive battle against an army of Orcs far outnumbered him, he certainly wouldn't agree. But you know what that means."

Gandalf's eyes flickered, and he murmured: "The Orcs will conquer the Lonely Mountain, and they will use this moat as their fortress, attack Middle-earth, and destroy all the forces in the world one by one."

"It's not necessarily defeated one by one. In short, the Woodland Kingdom is adjacent to the Lonely Mountain. They will definitely bear the brunt. I'm afraid they will be destroyed before the Middle-earth world unites against the Orcs." Anyang came over and patted Gandalf on the shoulder. " In that sense, I'm helping them."

"Oh, you're so articulate."

"And what about you? Gandalf, are you ready for this war?" Anyang asked with a smile.

"How big is this battle?" Gandalf took his pipe and took a puff, but there was a little sly smirk in his old eyes, and he was not hurried.

Seeing this, Anyang didn't ask any more questions.

On the other hand, Gandalf stopped eating, smoking his pipe and asking: "Now the Woodland Elves are stationed in Riverdale, and although it is next to the Lonely Mountain, it is still some distance away. If the half-orc army arrives, if Thranduil does not want to participate in the war , he can also retreat calmly, how can you be sure that he will stay and fight?"

"I sent Kili to investigate the whereabouts of the Orcs. If I find any traces of the Orcs or Orcs, I will report back immediately. Then I will invite the Woodland Elves and the people from Long Lake City to come and receive the treasure. If Kili did not find the Orcs in advance The traces of the orcs, His Royal Highness Legolas of the Woodland Kingdom and the Lord of Long Lake City are still guests on the Lonely Mountain, they think they are supervising the dwarves..."

"It's very meticulous." Gandalf commented, "You still found the humans of Great Lake City?"

"Yes, Bard is the descendant of the former River Valley City Lord Gillian, and the one who slaughtered the dragon with me. I have agreed with him that he will lead the army and armed men of Great Lake City to participate in this war."

"I have to say that this is a brilliant plan, if King Thranduil doesn't bother you afterwards." Gandalf took another breath and laughed, "No wonder you were able to kill that dragon. Wisdom is not something ordinary people can have.”

"Trouble me afterwards?" Anyang's mouth curled into a smile, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Then he has to be able to trouble me afterwards."

Indeed, after the war ended, the plot basically ended, and the upper limit of the first mission in the system would end there, and he would not be demanding to kill Sauron's soul. At that time, his ability can be unblocked, and Thranduil is nothing but handsome.

Gandalf did not understand why, and kept staring at him.

Anyang didn't say much, but said: "Unfortunately, there is not enough time, otherwise we can try to pull the army of Rivendell or Gondor over, and the casualties will be much smaller."

"Yes." Gandalf also sighed.

"Now wait quietly." Anyang stood up, said hello to Sorin again, and then turned to leave.

About two hours later, there was a slight continuous tremor on the ground. Just when Anyang was alert, he heard the sound of a horn belonging to a dwarf, and he relaxed.

He hurriedly walked to the balcony outside the castle, and at a glance, he could see the continuous army - these soldiers were short and thick, wearing heavy armor and holding standard weapons. Also well made. And the arms are complete, including spearmen, shield infantry, cavalry riding goats and some strange war machines behind.

The dwarven army from the Iron Hills, the Ironfoot Legion led by Ironfoot Dann has arrived!

Ironfoot Dan is a very sturdy dwarf. He holds a heavy hammer and rides on a pig. He first walked to the door and hugged Thorin happily, and then greeted the other dwarves one by one. Only then did he command the army of dwarves to enter the city gate.

This naturally aroused the vigilance of Legolas, and also caused the panic of the Lord of the Great Lake. Thranduil even sent people from River Valley City to ask questions, but Thorin calmed them coldly.

Anyang also went to see Dann, the final king of Iruba in the original plot, but soon returned to his room.

He held the stone that was almost covered with all kinds of fine and intricate lines and could not see the surface, and sat on the icy stone bed waiting for dusk to come, and then the arrival of the stars in the night, but it was always quiet. Kili occasionally sent back some news through Night Crow, but they didn't find the Orcs.

Originally, when Asog was still alive, the strategy of the Orcs was to throw part of the army into the Lonely Mountain through the Earth Snake, to draw the attention of the main army of dwarves and elves, and the rest of the army to attack from the north. But now that Asog has been killed by him, and his son Bolger is in control of the army, I don't know if such a strategy will be adopted, and I don't know if there are still outstanding commanders among the Orcs.

When it was close to dawn, Kili Cai rushed back with a horse and whip. He didn't even get off his horse. As soon as he entered the castle, he rushed directly into the restaurant where everyone gathered. Seeing Legolas and the Lord of the Great Lake sitting here, he immediately Feeling a little helpless.

But Sorin stood up immediately and kept staring at him.

Facing his gaze, Kili nodded.

"Whoa!"

With a neat voice, the dwarves of the expedition team stood up immediately, all of them with firm eyes, as if they were about to kill someone, and even scared the Great Lake City Lord almost incontinent.

Legolas quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

Dann, who was sitting on the other side, also asked, "Why are you suddenly in such a stance, are you going to fight? With whom? What are you playing a riddle?"

Thorin ignored them and walked up to Kili.

He was relieved when he heard Kili whispering to him that the Orc army had about ten leagues left (one league is about 3 miles, or 4.8 kilometers), he waved his hand to Legolas and said, "It's just It's just some news from the dwarves in other areas, don't be nervous, we have no intention of going to war with Long Lake City and the Woodland Kingdom."

"You don't have that ability either." Legolas said coldly. He had already discovered that the dwarves were planning something behind their backs, but he never found out the truth. This sentence is a warning.

"What are you talking about!" Dan was so angry that he couldn't hear this, he immediately patted the table and waited for Legolas with anger, "Ilubo hasn't cleaned up your woodland elves for decades, so you forgot to be Pain at the hands of dwarves?"

"Iruba? I only see the steps you take to bring your own demise." Legolas said.

"Stop arguing!" Sorin shouted coldly, looking at the other dwarves again, "What are you doing, sit down!"

It was only then that the surroundings became quiet, and the dwarves also returned to their seats.

Dann lost his anger and asked, "You just said that there was news from the dwarves in other regions. What news is it? When will they return to Iruba?"

Thorin glanced at him, then looked at Legolas and the Lord of the Great Lake, and said, "This is about us dwarves, and I don't want others to hear it."

The Great Lake City Lord suddenly understood, got up and left. Facing the current Sorin, he did not dare to offend him at all, not to mention that the Iron Foot Legion had arrived, and he could level his Great Lake City in minutes.

Legolas also got up, but said: "I'm not interested in your dwarves' shit. Since I'm embarrassed to let outsiders hear it, it's not a good thing to think about."

Dan was about to get angry again, but was stopped by Thorin.

After they both left, Fili went out again to check whether they had gone far before Thorin told Dan the whole thing.

Dan was very excited when he heard that there was going to be a war.

But after the excitement, he said again: "Who is that wandering wizard, why didn't you call me over to meet him!"

"Don't worry." Sorin said in a deep voice, and began to make arrangements in an orderly manner.

"Dolly and Nolly."

"exist."

"After dawn, you will go to Riverdale City to inform Bard and Thranduil, and tell them that we will return their treasures to them today, and let them bring enough troops to get it! At the same time, you must report to Thranduil. It was revealed that Dan was very dissatisfied with my decision. He had already quarreled with me fiercely, and he was suppressed by me. Needless to say, Thranduil will naturally understand everything. By the way, you can also disclose it to Bard appropriately. This information, if he needs it, can facilitate him to agitate the civilians, and forget it."

"Yes!"

"Dwarin and Fili."

"Um."

"You take over for Kili and continue to investigate. Make sure to monitor the distance between the orcs and us, and report them all the time. Pay attention to the movement on the ground. They are likely to march from the ground."

"Yes!"

Devalin and Fili went out.

Then Sorin looked at the others and said, "Go to the hall to get some treasures, pack them up, and use them to stabilize them for the time being. When the orcs are repelled, I'll take them with them!"

"Yes!"

Others also left.

Only Gandalf was left smoking and smacking, while Thorin sat on the main seat and looked at Dan.

Without him saying anything, Dane got up and walked out, getting his army geared up for battle.

...

The movement last night was naturally hidden from Anyang, but he had no intention of intervening. Sorin was already a good enough leader, and it was no problem to deal with this trivial matter.

So when he woke up the next day, he saw a whole army of elves parked under the castle. The elves were like a golden square, standing neatly, but they were silent. The first one was riding on a big horned deer. Thranduil.

They also brought more than a dozen carriages, but they were placed behind the army, obviously to prevent Sorin from being unable to suppress Ironfoot Dan, a madman, and the Ironfoot Legion would provoke a war.

There are also people from Changhu City next to them, there are probably hundreds of them, a small number of them are guards wearing fine armor, and they look like that. The other part is the civilians who are equipped with weapons, and the quality is somewhat mixed. From the old to the young, there are the strong and the weak, just like a group of rabble.

Anyang stood on the balcony, condescending.

Thranduil cast him a skeptical look, and Bud nodded at him.

At the same time, Dwarin also sent information again, and the half-orc army quickly marched through the earth snake, and it will reach Lonely Mountain in two hours at most.
