Xu Feng tapped on the table, drawing attention to him.

"Polg's wolf cavalry, they will find this place soon, so we have to make a choice." Xu Feng said in a deep voice.

The dwarves present all held their breath and listened carefully to Xu Feng's speech.

"The terrain here is very bad, and it is not suitable for us to fight, but it is suitable for wolf cavalry to play to their advantage. If we set off now, we might dare to enter the Dark Forest before the wolf cavalry finds us. ”

"And as long as we enter the dark forest, the speed of the wolf cavalry will slow down, and we can also take the opportunity to fight a few decent counterattacks."

"Just like we did before in the Misty Mountains! Right? Beaufer said excitedly.

Xu Feng said in a deep voice: "It's almost, but don't get your hopes up, because this part of Polge's wolf cavalry is a special wolf cavalry from Modo, and their strength is much stronger than those wolf cavalry we encountered in the Misty Mountains." ”

Bahrain hurriedly said: "Then what are we waiting for?" We should leave now. ”

Xu Feng said in a deep voice: "If you want to leave, it's not difficult, but we have another choice. ”

Bahrain blinked and asked, "What choice?" ”

Xu Feng said in a deep voice: "That is to stay, and fight with Polg's wolf cavalry here." ”

The dwarves looked at each other for a moment.

Thorin couldn't help but frown.

Balin whispered, "But, Lord Diedi, didn't you just say that?" Bolg and his wolf cavalry are unusually strong, and we are no match for them. ”

Groin also said, "Yes, Lord Diedi! Our primary goal is to reach the Lonely Mountain at the time of the autumn solstice! Even if it's a day, a minute, we have to wait another year! ”

Xu Feng said in a deep voice: "I know, but have you ever considered that we can leave, but what about Beorne?" ”

The dwarves all bowed their heads.

Balin thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, Mr. Beorn, come with us?" ”

The other dwarves whispered.

Xu Feng clearly heard someone whispering about whether he would give more of the Lonely Mountain treasure to Beorn.

Others are saying that Beorn is a druid after all, not a dwarven clan.

Thorin said in a deep voice, "I think so, Mr. Beorn, if you would like to join us on the Dwarven Expedition, we welcome you. ”

"Diedy" once said that when Beorn transformed into a giant bear form, one attack wiped out half of the special wolf cavalry.

With such strength, joining the dwarven expedition team will naturally have great benefits.

Even if it takes a share of the treasure, it's nothing.

All Thorin now wants is to enter the palace of the Lone Mountain King smoothly and obtain the Heart of the Mountain, which symbolizes the authority of the Dwarves of the Lone Mountain.

Beorn raised his head proudly, "No, I'm not going to leave here, this is where I live." ”

Thorin said in a deep voice: "Mr. Beorn, we are only leaving temporarily, and when we enter the palace of the Lonely Mountain, you will receive countless treasures, and I can even promise you a piece of the territory of the Lonely Mountain now." ”

The dwarves present all exclaimed.

You know, Thorin has always been very sensitive when it comes to the issue of territory, but now Thorin has actually offered to give Beorn territory!

Of course, there is a meaning to compensate Beorn, after all, a long time ago, his grandfather, King Saul Sr., ruthlessly rejected the Druids' request for a lease of land.

However, then again, if Thorin was in charge at the time, Thorin would not have agreed to this group of half-humans, half-beasts of unknown origin living in his own kingdom of the Lonely Mountain.

But now the situation is different.

Beorn ...... There is only one person, no clansmen.

Even if you own a piece of land, you won't pose any threat to the dwarves in the future.

This is already the greatest kindness that Thorin can unleash.

Beorn laughed and said coldly, "Land? Yes, we used to be eager to get a land that we could live in within the protection of the powerful Lonely Mountain Kingdom, and we also swore that as long as the dwarves could let us live, we were willing to pay three times the tax to the dwarven king, leaving only ourselves the rations to survive, and once the dwarves were in danger, we druids would be the first to rush forward and sacrifice everything we had to defend the Lonely Mountain Kingdom. But...... How did Old Thor respond to us? ”

"Slaves, he said, didn't need land." Beorn's bear-like face was full of anger and humiliation, and the hand holding the milk cup was also gurgling.

For a moment, Thorin even feared that Beorn would drop a large bottle full of milk on his head.

Beorn didn't do that, though.

His expression was furious, but in the end he managed to regain his composure.

Beorn said coldly and arrogantly: "Now, I already have my own land, do you know how this land came from? ”

Thorin frowned and shook his head.

Balin shrugged his shoulders, "Slave Ridge was a terra nullius before, because it was located in a dark and dense forest, and there were no people here except for the mountains and dense forests. Although the territory of the wood elves is also nearby, the wood elves like trees and do not like rocks and plains, so this place is uninhabited. ”

Beorn said coldly: "Yes, you are right, this is where this land comes from. But, I'm still the same question, do you know how we got this land? ”

The dwarves present were all stunned, and they didn't know how to answer for a while.

Beorn said coldly, "Then let me tell you." When we druids escaped from Modo, there were more than 20,000 people, and many hot-blooded druids took the initiative to sacrifice their lives in order to resist the pursuers and protect the clansmen along the way. When we finally reached the Lonely Mountain with the support of hope, we were only more than 3,000 people, and the old king Thor shattered our hopes, so we could only move on, praying to Thranduil, the king of the wood elves, to take us in, but Thranduil thought that we were probably Modo's spies, and he would not even let us pass through the capital of the wood elves, so we could only go around in the dark jungle full of dangers. When we finally arrived, there were only a few dozen people left. ”

"So, do you understand?" Beorn's blood-red eyes filled with tears of sorrow, "Although I am the only one left here, this is not my home alone, but the home of all the druids who escaped from Modo. They are all dead, but I, who are still alive, will guard the fate of this soul for them. ”

Beorn said in a deep voice, "I will not go, I will not go because the Lonely Mountain has better wealth and land, and I will not go because I am afraid of the wolf cavalry. My compatriots have sacrificed one after another, just to get a piece of our own home, I can't abandon them, even if I die, I will protect this land. ”
