Chapter 357: Don't be so sad, Lao Bei
After breakfast, Thorin and the others silently packed their luggage.
They are running out of supplies, but as long as they can get through the Dark Jungle as soon as possible, they will be able to reach Longlake, a trading town from which they can replenish their supplies.
However, the most troublesome level is how to get through the dark jungle.
When they were ready, Chili and Filip rode back on their galloping ponies.
Both were out of breath and had solemn faces.
Chili took the lead in turning over and dismounting, and said eagerly: "Wolf cavalry! Many, many wolf cavalry are coming this way! β
Fili also eagerly added: "With the speed at which they advance, it will take ten minutes at most to rush here." β
Xu Feng nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, you two can leave with the dwarven expedition." β
Chili and Fili blinked in surprise.
"Why, Lord Diedi, aren't you coming with us?"
Xu Feng said in a deep voice, "I don't have time to explain so much, Beorn, your little pony is lent to the dwarves for use, otherwise, they will not be able to outrun the wolf." β
Beorn said coldly: "Yes, run all the way along the plain towards the dark jungle in the east, and when you see the elven gate of the woodland elves, remember to release my little pony back, they do not belong to the woodland, they belong to the slave ridge." β
Thorin nodded slightly, "Understood...... Thank you. β
Beorn snorted coldly from his nose, "I told you, I did this not to help you, but to prevent the wolf cavalry from succeeding. β
Thorin said in a deep voice, "Anyway, Mr. Beorn, we owe you once, if...... If we are all alive after this time, no matter what your needs are, the Dwarves of the Lonely Mountain will help. β
As he spoke, Thorin took the initiative to bow to Beorn.
As a prince, especially a dwarven prince, he has always been very arrogant.
Moreover, he had always treated Beorn as a slave before.
And now, he actually took the initiative to bow to Beorn, which cannot but be said to be a major psychological change.
When the other dwarves saw Thorin bowing, they naturally bowed along with him.
Beorn glanced coldly at Thorin and the others, and accepted the dwarves' greetings.
He waved his hand, "Hurry up, while it's still early, remember, when you find the Elven Gate, always follow the brick and stone path under your feet, and don't deviate from the route, otherwise you will get lost in the jungle." β
"Also, you have to remember that the jungle is no ordinary jungle, the wood elves have released a hallucinogenic magic in the jungle, the air is full of disorienting visions, and your hearts must be strong enough and your faith must be strong enough."
Thorin nodded slightly, "I rememberβget on the horse!" β
All the dwarves immediately stepped onto the pony, and the Snow Emperor and the others also rode on the pony.
Xu Feng nodded at her, and the Snow Emperor also nodded at him, and then, the Snow Emperor patted the pony, and the pony understood and ran quickly.
In less than a minute, the Dwarf Expedition and the Snow Emperor Team became vague dots, and finally disappeared at the end of the grassland.
Beorn said in a deep voice, "That dwarven prince doesn't look like a smart man. β
Gandalf sighed and nodded, "He has a lot of shortcomings, really, sometimes, even an archmage like me is unbearable. It's just that...... If you want to retake the Lonely Mountain, the front-line fortress, you can only rely on him and his subjects. β
Xu Feng smiled faintly, "Okay, let's start with what is in front of us." β
Gandalf asked, "Diedy, you are the most powerful person I have ever met, how are you going to fight this battle?" β
Xu Feng sighed, "Actually, if we really want to fight, it's simple, that is, we give up the stone house, lie in ambush outside the stone house, and wait for the wolf cavalry to rush into the stone house, and then I will detonate the gunpowder pills buried in the stone house." In this way, their formation is ......"
"Wait!"
Before Xu Feng could finish speaking, Beorn frowned and said, "You planted gunpowder next to my house?" β
Xu Feng hurriedly said: "No, not yet, I mean, if you agree to blow up the stone house, then the whole battle will be very simple." β
Beorn said angrily: "No, this stone house is my hard work for many years, I can't let you blow it up!" β
Xu Feng shrugged helplessly, "Okay, I won't blow up, when the time comes, when we die in battle, your stone house will be destroyed by the wolf cavalry, alas, it's a pity, those cows, sheep, chickens, horses, they will all be eaten alive by the wolf cavalry." β
Beorn's face twisted.
He certainly didn't want his house to be blown up.
However, "Diedi" is right, if they die in battle, then everything in the stone house will cease to exist.
Beorn sighed and asked, "Is there no way to keep my stone house?" β
Xu Feng smiled faintly, "Yes." β
Beorn hurriedly asked, "What way?" β
Xu Feng smiled: "That is, you took the initiative to surrender to the wolf cavalry, saying that you are willing to be a slave of the wolf cavalry, and you are also willing to dedicate the stone house to them as a stronghold, so that your beloved stone house will be saved." β
Beorn bared his teeth and roared, "You actually made me surrender? Let me be a slave? β
Xu Feng shrugged, "This is the only way to keep your stone house." β
Beorn clenched his fists and thought for a moment, finally letting out a long sigh, "I see...... No matter how much I try to protect the stone house, the stone house can be saved. Since...... Since it can't be kept, let's let it play its due value. β
Xu Feng smiled faintly: "Don't be so sad, Lao Bei." β
Beorn said angrily: "It's not your house that blew up!" Of course you are not sad! β
Xu Feng patted Beorn's thick shoulder and said meaningfully: "The home is ruined, you can still build it, but if we lose this battle, then there will be nothing." β
Gandalf also nodded and said, "Diedi is right, our top priority is to kill as many enemies as possible at the lowest cost. β
Beorn nodded, "I've agreed, but, the animals in the stone house, I have to let them all go." β
"Of course." Xu Feng smiled faintly.
Leaving these fowl behind will make the stone house trap more realistic, but ...... It was indeed too cruel to blow up all the poultry and livestock with gunpowder pellets in front of Beorn.
While Beorn was driving away the poultry and livestock, Xu Feng quickly planted gunpowder pills around the stone house.
This stone house is built very high, and the stones used are also very large bluestone, so once the whole house is blown up, the collapsed stones and the rocks that the shockwave shakes away, can kill a large wave of wolf cavalry.
And this, of course, is not the main thing, the main thing is that they can take the opportunity to tear apart the formation of the wolf cavalry!
