Thorin was stunned, "...... You, what do you mean by that? ”

Just now, Xu Feng said that he understood him, but in the blink of an eye, he said that he was wrong, which made him completely confused.

Xu Feng said lightly: "If there is no half-orc army, I support you 100% in doing this, and you are absolutely right, you will let Gushan be in a stable state for a long time, and your Gushan Dynasty will rise soon." However, now it is no longer an internal wrestling, but an additional army of 100,000 and a half orcs. ”

Thorin opened his mouth and said weakly, "I can, I can hide in the secret passage, I can transfer the gold ......"

Xu Feng shook his head coldly, "But, you can't save yourself when you see death." ”

Thorin said eagerly, "What does that matter?" Isn't it good that my lonely mountain royal clan will not die alone? ”

Xu Feng said coldly: "If your pattern is just that of a captain, then it is naturally better if one of your subordinates does not die, but you are no longer the captain of the expedition, you wear a crown and sit on the throne, you must bear your responsibilities as the king of the Lonely Mountain." Morally speaking, Dain Ironfoot is here to help you, and although the Wood Elves and the Refugee Army have had a holiday with you, the enemy is now abandoning this holiday and turning to the orcs who want to capture your Lonely Mountain Palace. At the lesser level, they are fighting for you, and at the worst, they are fighting for the safety of the whole of Middle-earth! And you, as the king of the lonely mountain, are cold-eyed and stand by? Even if you could hide in the tunnels and survive? Even if the Alliance army eventually drove over and defeated the orcs, what would happen? How will the world perceive your Lonely Mountain Dynasty? Everyone will think that you are a mean, selfish person who builds his existence on betraying his friends! At that time, even if you are still the king of the lonely mountain, what is the point? Who cares about you, the king? I'm afraid, even the people of the Lonely Mountain don't want to be with you! ”

"No!" Thorin exclaimed excitedly, "No! No, it won't! I just want to endure the humiliation, I just want to protect this hard-won kingdom! ”

Xu Feng said coldly: "Solin, face up to reality, you can't protect it." All you can decide now is your own fate. You wear a crown and sit on a throne, and on the surface there is no one who does not recognize you as the king of the lonely mountain, but in reality, you are just like a king. If you want history to remember you, you have to take on the responsibility of a king. ”

Thorin said bitterly: "Even if this decision is made, will it make me die alone?" ”

Xu Feng nodded, "Yes, your Lonely Mountain Dynasty may be extinct, but at the very least, your name will be on a par with your great ancestor." ”

Thorin lowered his head in pain, this decision was indeed very difficult for him to make.

He's not afraid of death, he's just afraid of losing.

He finally returned to the Lonely Mountain, but now, he is facing the risk of losing the Lonely Mountain.

He was afraid of that, so he became timid.

It's not really him.

It wasn't Thorin who led the crowd and defeated the invincible Azog in the Battle of the Blue Mountains.

As soon as he thought of this, Thorin hated and despised himself immensely.

Xu Feng said lightly: "Thorin, I can't force you to sacrifice yourself for this battle, but I want you to know that if you don't participate in this battle, your position in the hearts of the people is equivalent to death." Some people die but live forever, while others live like the walking dead. Think about it for yourself. ”

With that, Xu Feng turned around and walked out of the magnificent hall.

The sound of Xu Feng's steady footsteps echoed in the main hall, and he gradually walked away.

Thorin sat down on his throne in despair, and his whole body was in a desperate struggle.

The dwarves of the lonely mountain on the city wall saw Xu Feng come out and hurriedly surrounded him.

"Lord Diedi! What do you think? ”

"Did Thorin agree?"

"Can we go to fight?"

Xu Feng shook his head slightly.

Qili said angrily, "Thorin, what's wrong! Why didn't he even listen to Master Diedy! No way! I can't stand it anymore! I can't watch our brothers shed their blood for us while we hide here like turtles! In that case, what if I am not in danger now? I don't have the face to live anymore! ”

As he spoke, Chili wanted to jump off the wall.

Fili on the side hurriedly grabbed him, and Qili said angrily: "Fili, you don't care about me!" ”

Fili said, "I don't care about you! It's going to come with you! ”

Xu Feng waved his hand, "Don't worry, you two, I didn't say that Thorin didn't agree, I mean, he hasn't said anything yet, you guys don't worry, just wait, give him some time." ”

“…… All right. Chili could only let out a long sigh.

At this time, on the frontal battlefield of the Lonely Mountain Valley, the half-orc troops took advantage of the superiority of their strength to attack wave after wave.

Although the elven army and the ironfoot army are invincible in courage, they are too poor in terms of strength, they have been supporting the frontal battlefield for more than an hour, and their physical strength is almost exhausted.

Seeing his soldiers fall in large numbers, Dai Yin's heart ached terribly.

He wielded the pig's head hammer desperately as he shouted, "Thorin! Why hasn't Thorin come yet! Did he betray us? Did he invite us here to watch us die? Everyone, shrink the formation, and retreat into the lonely mountain. ”

King Thranduil said as he fought, "It's useless, Thorin won't open the walls of the Lonely Mountain for you and me!" We can't get in when we retreat to the Lonely Mountain, so we can only be intercepted by the orcs and die! ”

Dain asked, "What do you say?" ”

King Thranduil said in a deep voice: "We should break through to Riverdale, now that the situation in Riverdale has improved, back to Riverdale, we can attack and retreat!" ”

Dain Iron Foot looked at the dense army of orcs, and said angrily, "No! There are too many enemies, and we can't break through! If you want to break through, Lord Thranduil, we will cover you! ”

King Thranduil frowned and asked, "Why, you don't leave?" ”

Dain Tiezu smiled bitterly: "You and I are not children, you and I should understand that it is impossible for us to break through like this!" Let's go! Although I didn't like you very much before, I didn't expect that at the last moment of my life, it would be you who fought with me! So, no matter what, we are also comrades-in-arms, if you have a chance, you go first, and we will cover you! ”

King Thranduil immediately shouted, "All the Wood Elves ......"

He stopped suddenly.

In the case of the inaction of the Lonely Mountain Palace, it is a very correct choice to break through in the direction of River Valley Town.

However, the casualties will also be large.

Especially the Iron Foot Army, which covers the breakthrough of the Wood Elves, will suffer greater casualties.

Thranduil took a deep breath, changed his mind and said, "All Wood Elf warriors! Shrink the formation and fight side by side with the Iron Foot Army! Don't give up! ”
