Chapter 508: Diedi Didn't Come Back
Thorin blinked, "What? ”
Bilbo mustered up his courage, "Thorin, I actually ......"
Just as he was about to speak, Dwalin hurried over, "Sorin, so you're here!" There is an emergency, the survivors of Long Lake Town have flocked to River Valley Town, there are thousands of them, and it is estimated that their next journey will be Lonely Mountain, what should we do? ”
Thorin's gaze suddenly sharpened.
He smiled coldly, "Sure enough...... Tell everyone to put down your work and meet at the front door. ”
"Yes!" Dwarin then turned and ran away.
Thorin asked Bilbo in a soft voice again, "What do you want to say?" ”
Bilbo shrugged, "I want to say...... There's no need for you to send someone to send me back. ”
Thorin laughed and patted Bilbo on the shoulder, "Let's go, follow me to the front door first." ”
On the other side, in the ruins of River Valley Town, the exhausted residents of Changhu Town all sat on the ground one by one, not wanting to move on.
It took them more than ten hours and nearly 30 kilometers to finally arrive here.
Although Riverdale is dilapidated, some of the rooms still have walls and roofs to shelter from the elements.
Emperor Xue looked around for a moment and said lightly, "Bud, we have to stop and let your people rest." ”
Bud nodded, "That's exactly what I did. ”
This kind of walking progress is nothing for ordinary warriors, but for civilians who are frightened and have not slept all night, it is really at the limit.
What's more, the sky has darkened at this time, and the closer you get to the lonely mountain, the lower the temperature becomes.
Bard then said loudly: "Everyone gather together, find a big building, build a fire, lean on each other to keep warm, and whoever has food to take out and share it together." Barn, you take someone to find firewood, Sigurd, you go and arrange shelter for the wounded. ”
"Yes!"
The townsfolk sprang into action.
They are tired and hungry and in dire need of recovery and replenishment.
"My lord! My lord! ”
At this moment, Alfred stood on the crumbling wall and shouted at Bud, "Come and see! Come on! ”
Bard frowned slightly, he actually didn't like to be called an adult by Alfred, such a name always reminded him of the mayor of the money bag town, and he was not the money bag town mayor.
"What is this guy up to?" Iron Hammer grabbed the Silver Fist War Hammer and said coldly, "Do you want me to kill him?" I can do it beautifully! ”
Bud hurriedly said, "Thank you!" But don't! ”
He didn't want to be charged with assassinating townspeople.
"Let's go, let's go and have a look." Snow Emperor said lightly.
"Okay."
The three of them walked towards the city wall together.
Hammer whispered to Bard: "If you change your mind, just give me a look, don't worry, if you don't take money, I will be doing harm to the people." ”
Bard smiled wryly and said, "No, Miss Hammer, thank you for your kindness, but really. ”
Hammer shrugged helplessly, "Okay then. ”
"My lord! My lord! Look! Alfred hurried down and pointed to the lonely mountain in the distance to show Alfred.
"Look, the lover's brazier at the gate of the lonely mountain has been lit!" Alfred said eagerly.
Bard frowned and said, "That's it?" What's so strange about that? This means that Thorin and the others have survived, which is good. ”
Alfred's eyes widened in astonishment, "Okay? My adult? Are you alright? Our lonely mountain is being overrun by a bunch of vulgar dwarves, you say? ”
Bard frowned and said: "First of all, it is not our lonely mountain, the lonely mountain has always been dwarves, and secondly, even if the dwarf expedition is dead, the lonely mountain does not belong to us, but belongs to the bloodline branch of the dwarves of the lonely mountain, and we cannot occupy it." ”
"Why!" Alfred exclaimed, "That's endless riches! We arrived first, why can't we get first! ”
Bud said coldly, "Do you think you know it's endless wealth?" Do you think the other six dwarven tribes don't know? Do you think the three elven kings don't know? Do you think the kings of the three human kingdoms don't know? Do you think the White Council doesn't know? ”
Alfred opened his mouth in astonishment, "...... Big deal, we can give them a little bit. ”
Bard smiled coldly, "Alfred, open your eyes and see, how many of us townspeople are old, weak, sick and disabled, and how many warriors can put on armor and go into battle?" Such a big treasure trove, do you think we can really hold it with our little men? It's not ours, we can't ask for it, because there are more powerful witnesses staring at it, we just need our part. I'm glad that Thorin is still alive, because Thorin once made a promise in front of the townspeople of Longlake that as long as he enters the palace of the Lonely Mountain, he will make Longlake rich and everyone rich. ”
Alfred said, "But ......"
Bard sneered and said, "Don't worry Alfred, there is a lot of gold in that mountain, and Thorin only needs to take out a small part of it, which is enough for us to rebuild Riverdale." ”
Alfred sighed, "Alright, my lord. ”
Bard then said, "Alfred, you're here tonight. ”
Alfred hurriedly said: "My lord, I think I should stay by your side and advise you, you need such a person, and I am such a trustworthy person." ”
Bard said coldly: "I'm sorry, I don't need an entourage, Alfred, you should prove and realize the value of your own existence, and keeping a vigil here is the best way for you to regain everyone's trust." ”
"But......" said Alfred pleadingly, "it's going to be cold at night. ”
Bud said, "Then it's time to get busy and get more dry firewood." ”
Alfred sighed helplessly, "Okay, my lord. ”
And at the same time, in the lonely mountain opposite.
Thorin was directing the dwarves to pile up a pile of broken stone at the gate.
The gates of the Palace of the Lonely Mountain were originally very majestic, but they were later destroyed by Smaug.
It was unrealistic to repair the gate in a short period of time, so Thorin simply asked the dwarves to build a three-meter-high wall out of rubble to block the attack.
At this time, Qili and the others climbed the Lonely Mountain and happily waved towards the Lonely Mountain Palace.
Dwarin was stunned for a moment, and immediately said excitedly, "Look at that! It's Chilifili them! ”
"You read that right, Dvalin!"
"Nope! It's really them! And Groyin! And Beaufer! There are also Lord Lin Hai and Lord Yang Gongzai! ”
The dwarves cheered excitedly.
This is the happiest moment since they entered the Lonely Mountain!
Thorin stood on top of the pile of stones, frowned, and said, "...... Diedi didn't come back? ”
