Chapter 284 Knowing It Is a Trap but Still Going Inside
Although Dwalin and the others were reluctant, they knew that Balin was right and they had no choice.
Fili and Kili each jumped onto the back of a goat, cut the rope connected to the chariot, and rode it towards Raven Ridge.
"Gaius, get on." Dwalin rode the last goat and left a place for Aaron.
"Forget it!" Aaron glanced at him with some disdain, "I don't like being with rough guys."
"When are you joking?"
"This is not a joke." Aaron shook his head, without explaining, but tapped his shoulder with his wand, turned into a raven and flew high into the sky.
Dwalin:......
I'm also full and bored, why worry about it!
In this way, several people successfully arrived at the foot of Raven Ridge and joined Thorin.
"Charge."
Thorin gave an order, and everyone began to climb the mountain.
The Orc guards along the way had no power to resist the four dwarf elites, and they killed their way to the top of the mountain.
But what made them uneasy was that there was no one on the top of the watchtower. Azog disappeared, or he hid.
"Where is he?" Qili said, "It seems that there is no one. Azog may have escaped."
"I don't think so." Thorin murmured. As an old rival, he knew too well what kind of Orc Azog was. He was insidious, cunning, vicious, and powerful. All the qualities of a villain were reflected in him.
But it was also true. They came to Raven Ridge without any cover-up. Azog had already discovered it. With his personality, it was impossible for him to stay there stupidly and fight him to the death.
"Fili, take your brothers to search the lookout.
Be sure to stay hidden, report any situation immediately, and don't act on your own.
Do you understand?"
"Wait." Aaron hurriedly stopped the two, "Now the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, it's better not to separate, otherwise it will be easy to be defeated one by one."
"Another enemy is coming." Dwalin walked over and said, "They are goblin mercenaries, only about a hundred."
As soon as the voice fell, the goblins like little devils screamed and rushed over.
"Deal with them first." Thorin said, then picked up his sword and killed them.
Fili, Kili, and Dwalin were not afraid. If it was hundreds of orcs, they might not be opponents, but the fighting power of goblins was just so-so, and it would be shameful if they couldn't beat them.
......
River Valley City.
Legolas rode a white horse and hurried over with Tariel.
"Gandalf, another enemy is coming." Legolas said anxiously, "It's the Gundabad orcs led by Borg, they are coming."
"Gundabad?" Gandalf seemed to have thought of something, "It seems that this is planned, Azog will hold our army back, and Borg will suddenly attack from the north."
"Is it the last straw that breaks the camel's back?" The thought body pondered, "But judging from the current situation, this orc army is probably not straw, but a weight.
We are outnumbered and finally occupied a point on the upper Feng, once Borg comes, the balance of victory will lean towards the Orcs again.
Damn! Life is unpredictable, and it's all up to you!
No wonder my ancestors said that the war situation is always changing rapidly. I didn't believe it before, but now I have to believe it. "
"The situation is not that bad yet." Gandalf said calmly, "The Orcs have reinforcements, and so do we."
"Huh?" Aaron raised his eyebrows, and then he remembered that Gandalf had said before that he asked the brown wizard Radagast to get reinforcements after he was rescued from Dol Guldur by Queen Galadriel.
Now that the war has reached this point, the Orcs' reinforcements are coming, so there is no reason why their reinforcements won't come!
"Gandalf, you are really foresighted, and your image in my heart has immediately become taller."
Gandalf's mouth twitched slightly, and he just smiled and said nothing.
"North? Where is north?" Bilbo asked, "Tell me."
"Raven Hill." The thought body looked at the sun covered by clouds, "If nothing goes wrong, it's Azog."
"Oh no." Bilbo's face changed drastically, "Thorin is there, and Fili, Kili, Dwalin, they are all there."
Hearing that Kili was also in Raven Hill, Taryl's pupils dilated slightly, and his heart was instantly lifted.
"Not just them." The thought body scratched his head, "My original body is there too."
Huh!
Hearing this, Bilbo and Gandalf were not worried at all, but instead breathed a sigh of relief, and even the worry on their faces was reduced a little.
"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean?"
The thought body felt that its fragile heart had been hit hard, and it was cold.
"This is the only good news." Gandalf said bluntly, "If you are there, Thorin and the others will not be in danger of life, and it is not impossible to escape unscathed if you are lucky."
Thought body:......
What kind of people are these? They think too highly of me!
"You are a clone?" Legolas looked at the thought body in surprise, "How did you do it? There is no difference between it and the original body."
"Talent, mainly relying on my one-in-a-million talent." The thought body raised its chin proudly, and secretly complained in its heart: If you can see it, it's a ghost.
The thought body is made by dividing half of the magic power of the original body. It has flesh and blood and emotions. Not to mention you, even wizards like Dumbledore who can step into the holy mage at any time can't tell the difference.
"Can he really guarantee the safety of Qili and others?" Tariel asked with some doubt.
"Absolutely." Gandalf said lightly, "I have never seen anyone with a stronger desire to survive than him. Since he dares to go, it means that he is confident enough to return safely."
The thought body smiled awkwardly and did not refute anything.
The original body still has at least 2,000 points of magic power. Apparition and Animagus are enough to run away. At worst, he can use the Disillusionment Charm to hide for a while.
If it really comes to a last resort, he can use the water repellent spell to jump into the glacier. He doesn't believe that the orcs will risk freezing to death to rescue people from the glacier.
"But their situation is still very dangerous." Tariel said, "We have to find a way to notify them."
"No need." The thought body pointed to his head, "Although I am a clone, my clone is not a third-rate thing. I can communicate with the original body at any time.
The news that the Borg will attack from the north has been passed to him, and Thorin and the others will also know."
"Well done." Gandalf praised.
"That... Should we go over to support them?" Bilbo said with some concern, "I'm not ruining the mood. If it were someone else, I would never worry, but... he is Thorin!"
Hearing this, Gandalf took a breath and felt a toothache for no reason.
He actually forgot about this. Bilbo's worry is not unreasonable.
Thorin's grandfather and father both died at the hands of Azog. As the saying goes, enemies are jealous of each other. Even if he knows that Raven Ridge is a trap, he will inevitably lose his mind when he sees Azog.
In the case of hot blood, it is not impossible to stay there and fight with Azog.
"Aaron, can you persuade him?"
"What do you think?" The thought body rolled his eyes, "You know Thorin's stubbornness, I can only do my best.
But if he really doesn't listen to the advice, just knock him out and carry him back."
Hearing this, several people looked at each other, but they were speechless.
This approach is somewhat unkind, but it seems that there is no better way.
......
Raven Ridge
Just after dealing with a group of goblin mercenaries, Aaron received a message from his thought body, and he couldn't help but frowned, "Thorin, my clone sent a message that Borg is leading a group of Gundaba orcs to kill us, we must leave here immediately."
"We almost succeeded." Dwalin said angrily, "The dirty orc is here, we should continue."
"No, that would be a good trick." Thorin said calmly, "This is Azog's trap, a terrible trap."
Aaron was a little surprised, but more of a delight.
Thorin Oakenshield has changed his nature, so he doesn't have to waste his breath.
Thorin looked at the top of the watchtower with some regret, and reluctantly issued an order to retreat.
But as soon as they rode on the goat, Azog, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't hold back.
Thorin wanted to kill him, and he also wanted to kill Thorin!
In the past, Thorin Oakenshield was just a poor dwarf prince, but he could escape the pursuit of the orcs repeatedly. Now he has obtained the Arkenstone and is the legitimate dwarf king.
Even if the orcs win this war and occupy the Lonely Mountain, as long as Thorin is alive, he can unite the dwarf tribes, and it will be difficult to kill him at that time.
"Thorin Oakenshield." Azog called Thorin's name and walked out of the watchtower, "Is the dwarf king going to escape in disgrace?"
"You know shit, this is called keeping the green mountains, not afraid of running out of firewood." Aaron said carelessly, "Don't think we don't know that Borg is bringing the Gundaba orcs here. When this place is surrounded, we can't leave even if we want to."
"That's it, Azog." Thorin laughed contemptuously, "You are lucky today and saved your life, but you won't be so lucky next time."
After that, Thorin prepared to take people away.
"Thorn." Azog read out the name of Thorin's father sarcastically, "The scene of me killing that dwarf was really pleasing to the eye. I still remember the fear in his eyes.
By the way, what was your grandfather's name?
Thor, I cut off your king's head with my own hands and threw it on the ground like garbage.
Two generations of dwarf kings died in my hands. The third generation of dwarf kings was afraid. It's understandable that the descendants of Durin want to be cowards!"
Fuck you!
Aaron secretly groaned in his heart. Azog was too mean.
This wave of operations not only put the family feud and national hatred on the table, but also repeatedly rubbed people's self-esteem on the ground. No one can tolerate it.
"Thorin, calm down, calm down, you must calm down."
"I can't calm down." Thorin's hand holding the reins clenched unconsciously, and the next second he got off the goat's back, "I must kill him today."
"We can't calm down either." Dwalin said angrily, "The dwarf king was insulted, we can't pretend that we didn't hear anything."
Fili and Kili nodded in succession and stood beside Thorin.
Aaron:......
Fuck! What are you three doing here?
