Chapter 418: The Truth You Want
In the middle of the foggy night, Thorin led a group of dwarves on the rooftops of Long Lake, walking cautiously.
They didn't wear any warm clothes on them, because they were in a hurry, and they were wearing only single clothes, and the night wind blew, and their teeth shivered from the cold.
Qi Li followed the team with great difficulty, trying not to let himself fall behind.
Finally reaching the center of Long Lake, Thorin saw a group of heavily armed guards standing guard next to a warehouse.
"That's supposed to be the armory of Long Lake."
"However, it is very well guarded, and if we want to go in, we may have to fight these guards, but if we want to fight, then we will be completely exposed." Bahrain said worriedly.
Thorin frowned slightly: "We'll wait and see if there is another chance." ”
So the dwarves all lowered their bodies and hid by a raised roof, waiting for their time in the bitter wind.
The guards who had been monitoring them all the way hurriedly reported the situation to Alfred.
Alfred smiled coldly, "Haha, this is really a bunch of fools!" They must be trying to steal the weapons in the armory, and when they steal them, the next step is to rebel! But the best proof! As long as we can catch them red-handed, Bard won't be able to get out of it! Go and get those guards out of the way and give the dwarves a chance to enter the armory, and gather the other guards to surround the armory quietly! ”
"Yes!" The guard immediately trotted to deliver the order.
When the guards guarding the door of the armory heard the order, they hesitated for a moment, and then left together.
There were no guards at the door of the huge armory.
Beaufer was pleasantly surprised: "Great, God help me!" ”
Thorin couldn't help but frown: "Where did those guards go?" ”
Beaufer laughed, "Who knows?" Maybe they were transferred out of the ordinary. ”
"Maybe the guy named Bard betrayed us, and the guards are gathering at Bard's house to bring us to justice." ”
Dwarin hurriedly said, "If that's the case, then we should hurry to the armory to get the weapon!" ”
The other dwarves nodded.
Time was pressing, so Thorin didn't think much of it for a moment, and then rushed into the armory with the dwarves.
The armory was full of weapons and equipment, and Thorin and the others each picked out a few weapons that they had at hand, but they didn't have any equipment.
After all, these equipment are suitable for human size, and they are relatively clumsy, and wearing them on the dwarves is equivalent to making people lose their ability to maneuver and become a living target.
"You've got all the weapons, right?" Thorin asked.
"Got it!" The dwarves replied in unison.
"Then let's hurry to the port while they haven't found out yet, as long as we grab a boat, we can row to the north shore, and as long as we get on the north shore, we can reach the lonely mountain!" Thorin couldn't help but say excitedly.
The dwarves were all very excited, and they walked out of the door with their weapons, but when they reached the doorway, they could not open their eyes with the bright light of the torches outside.
Hundreds of bows and arrows were aimed at them, and hundreds of human guards surrounded them.
Thorin secretly said in his heart that it was not good, he wanted to counterattack and break through, but, in the case of being aimed at the bow and arrow, the counterattack would only cause them heavy losses.
"Lay down your arms!" One of the captains of the guards shouted loudly: "Otherwise, you will be killed!" ”
The other dwarves were a little overwhelmed.
Thorin gritted his teeth in hatred and threw the weapon he had just gotten to the ground.
When the other dwarves saw that Thorin had thrown away their weapons, they threw them to the ground.
As soon as the captain of the guard waved his hand, several guards quickly stepped forward and tied up Thorin and the others.
Thorin was insulted.
He is the dignified king of the lonely mountain, but he is often taken prisoner in such places.
He began to regret a little in his heart, he shouldn't have acted on his own without informing Master Diedi.
Unfortunately, now the mistake has been made.
If they were trapped here, even for a day, they would miss the opportunity to enter the Lonely Mountain Palace.
Once the dwarves were all tied, Alfred walked out from behind the guards with his hands behind his back.
"Dare to steal our armory?" Alfred smirked, "You guys are so stupid! Say, who commanded you? ”
Thorin said coldly: "We don't need others to tell us, it's our own business!" ”
Alfred smiled: "Hehe, are you still quite righteous? But how much is righteousness worth? I know you're coming out of Bard's house, which means that Bard encouraged you to come and steal the armory, right? Why did Bard encourage you to steal the coffers? The reason is simple, he wants to rebel, he wants to overthrow the mayor of the money bag! He needed weapons, so he sent you to steal them. ”
Thorin was slightly stunned, at first he thought that Bard had betrayed them, but now it seems that their capture has nothing to do with Bard.
And this despicable tax officer in front of him doesn't care about any real purpose at all, he just wants to set up a blame, he just wants the dwarves to "betray" Bud, and then take the opportunity to get rid of Bud.
Although Thorin didn't like Bard and had been locked up in the back room by Bard before, Thorin would never frame an innocent person in order to save his life.
Thorin said coldly: "No, this has nothing to do with Bud, this is our own behavior, we need weapons, because we are going to enter the Lonely Mountain." ”
Alfred frowned slightly, "Don't use this excuse to excuse Bud, you just want to help Budd rebel!" If you don't say it today, I'll put you in a water prison and let you taste the feeling of losing consciousness in the lower half of your body, and when you are locked up for a month, your lower body will be completely paralyzed, and even if you can get out, you will all be useless! ”
"And if you tell the truth of the matter, I can read that you are a first-time offender, and I will not be guilty of your theft, but just arrest Bud. Have you thought about it? ”
The dwarves suddenly became very nervous.
They don't want to be locked up in a water prison, they don't like water.
What's more, they can't delay even a day!
Thorin glared at Alfred coldly, "What I just said is the truth of the matter, in fact, you don't care what the truth of the matter is, right?" You just want to use this opportunity to get rid of Bard. ”。
Alfred said angrily: "Hmph, it's really a toast without eating and drinking!" Okay, I'll put you in a water prison and see how long you can stay out without speaking!" Someone ...... coming."
Before the words fell, Thorin said coldly: "You don't say anything about this matter, I want to see your mayor!" ”
