Chapter 417: Acting Alone
"Open the door!"
"Bastard! Perfidious humanity! ”
"If you take our money, you should do something for us!"
"The Lonely Mountain is right in front of us, and we're trapped in this bird place!"
"Tomorrow is the beginning of autumn festival of the dwarf clan, if we can't reach the Lonely Mountain tomorrow, we will have to wait another year before we can enter the Lonely Mountain Palace!"
The lovers angrily knocked on the door, and the whole room was in chaos.
"Enough!" Thorin shouted in a deep voice, "Do you want to wake up all the humans here?" ”
The dwarves in the house calmed down suddenly.
It is true that they entered Longlake Town through secret means, and if the people of Longlake Town knew that they were Lone Mountain Dwarves and wanted to enter the Lone Mountain Palace, he would probably react like Bud.
Balin whispered, "But we really can't wait any longer, time is too precious for us." ”
Thorin said in a deep voice: "Of course I know that I have waited too long for this time, and I will not give up because of the obstacles in front of me, but if we think of another way, the human beings in front of us can no longer be relied on." ”
"By the way, we can ask Master Diedi for help and ask their Snow Emperor team to escort us out of Changhu Town, so that even if the soldiers of Changhu Town want to stop us, it will be impossible." ”
"Yes!" Beaufer next to him said: "Today when we were hiding in the barrel, Lord Diedi alone scared the tax collector and a whole team of human soldiers, so with Lord Diedi here, we don't have to be afraid of anything." ”
The other dwarves nodded in agreement.
Thorin grimaced, his lips pursed into a parallel line.
"No, we can't go to Diedy about this." Thorin said in a deep voice.
"Why?"
The dwarves were all puzzled.
Thorin said, "...... He's human, he's too close to the human named Bud, and...... Forget it, in short, let's go it alone in this matter. ”
The dwarves all looked at each other, not knowing what Thorin meant.
In fact, the closer he got to the Lonely Mountain, the worse Thorin's longing became.
This desire was only a desire for restoration, but now it has developed into a desire for power and wealth.
There are piles of treasures in the palace of the dwarves of the Lonely Mountain, but those treasures, in Thorin's opinion, are all accumulated by his ancestors, and his ancestors suffered from the catastrophe of Smaug because of this, how can he share the wealth that his ancestors exchanged for their lives to people who have nothing to do with the dwarves of the Lonely Mountain?
Even if this person is the one who has saved their lives several times!
The closer he got to the Lonely Mountain, the more serious Thorin's thoughts became.
Of course, he also knew that this was wrong, so he didn't tell the other dwarves about the reason.
Although the other dwarves did not understand Thorin's thoughts, they naturally obeyed Thorin's orders, and since Thorin said that there was no need to find Master Diedi for this matter, then they would not look for Lord Diedy.
"However, we're trapped here, and if we don't find a way to get out of here, Bard will definitely find more people to take care of us."
"That's right, we need to get out of here first!"
"We're going to get some weapons! Otherwise, we won't even be able to fight if we encounter enemies on the road! ”
"I observed when I was hiding in the barrel that the civilians of this town are not allowed to have weapons in their hands, only the guards!"
"Then we should go to their town's armory and get a weapon!"
"But...... Who knows where the armory is? ”
The dwarves looked at each other.
Thorin said coldly: "The most guarded place should be the location of the armory, let's find a way to escape here, and then walk from the roof to find the location of the armory." ”
"Yes!"
"There's a window here! We can climb up to the roof from here! ”
"Great!"
The dwarves sprang into action at once, crawling up the window.
When most of the dwarves had crawled out, Chili gritted his teeth and grabbed the window frame upwards.
The other dwarves reached out and pulled him up.
In the past, this would have been easier for the agile Chili.
But now, it made Qili prostrate, sweating, and unable to stand on his legs.
The toxins of dark magic had penetrated into every inch of his limbs.
If it continues like this, Chili is afraid that he will not be able to hold on.
Bahrain asked with concern, "Chili, can you still do it?" If not......"
Chili hurriedly said, "I'm fine!" Master Diedi also specially prepared a powerful recovery pill for me, if I feel that I can't hold it anymore, I can eat the powerful recovery pill,"
Balin nodded worriedly.
To be honest, he didn't want Chili to be involved in this operation.
First, Chili's injuries are very serious, although it seems that it is just a piece of flesh missing from his thigh, but in fact, the dark magic has already spread on Chili's body, and the more Qili moves, the faster the dark magic spreads.
Secondly...... Chili will be the team's oil bottle.
The dwarven expedition had to move cautiously and quickly, while also taking care of Chili's safety.
It's a real hassle.
However, in this situation, they can't afford to leave the miracle behind.
When the dwarves thought they were unaware of the escape from Bard's room, the human soldiers watching in the opposite room hurriedly reported to Alfred, who was lying on a chaise longue with his eyes closed.
"Your Excellency! The other side really started to act! ”
"Really?" Alfred's eyes widened immediately, "What are they doing?" ”
"The subordinates have seen clearly, it's a group of dwarves! They climbed out of the window and are now walking down the roof towards the center of town! ”
"Dwarves?" Alfred was taken aback.
He couldn't figure out why there were dwarves in Bard's house.
He leaned over the window, and then looked at the light of the torches on the street, and sure enough, he saw a group of dwarves, walking cautiously from the rooftops.
"Where's Bud?" Alfred asked.
The soldier shook his head and said, "We didn't find any sign of Bard, only the dwarves who crawled out of the window." ”
Alfred hurriedly asked, "What about that very powerful human mercenary?" ”
The soldier replied, "Didn't come out either...... My lord, shall we wait? Or, just rush into Bud's house and say he's smuggling dwarves in. ”
Alfred sneered, "Stupid! There is such a powerful human mercenary by Bud's side, and that human mercenary still has the pass token of Thranduil, the king of the wood elves, in his hand, if we say that Bud smuggled the dwarf in, he can say that he brought it in through the pass pass! When the time comes, will you dare to use force against that human mercenary? ”
The soldier suddenly said with a nervous face: "Of course I don't want to! ”。
Alfred looked at the dwarves grimly, "These dwarves have ghosts, you send someone to follow them and see what they want to do!" Be careful, don't alarm them, it's better to catch them alone! ”
"Yes!"
