Bard cautiously walked in front of the elven soldier.

He often travels back and forth between the Wood Elf Capital and Changhu Town, so he knows the arrogant temper of the Elves very well.

Every time he transported the barrels and fresh fish, the elves looked at him coldly, not even wanting to say a word to him, as if they were afraid that a low-end species like him would pollute the nobility of the elves.

Just as Bard was about to say hello, the elven troops in front of him suddenly split into two columns and stood in order.

Bard hesitated, then walked over the path the elven soldiers had moved out of the way.

And when he walked by, the elven guards behind him returned to their positions in order.

Alfred on the city wall muttered quietly, "It's over, Bud must be in the mouth of a tiger this time." ”

The Snow Emperor said lightly: "Lord Thranduil has been hidden for so many years, and finally revealed all his family backgrounds." ”

Iron Hammer nodded and said, "The strength of the Wood Elf army is so strong, I thought they would just spend all their time drinking, and they couldn't even clean up the monster spiders." ”

Xue Di smiled: "This also shows that now is really a critical strategic time." ”

Bard walked past the rows of heavily armed elven soldiers in a daze, and he didn't know who to talk to, let alone what these elven soldiers were here for.

At this time, a huge white stag walked in with graceful steps.

The white stag's antlers are very wide, and on its back, there is a blonde male elf that means that it is long and beautiful.

The male elf wore a crown of thorns on his head, a green elven pattern robe, and a long black cloak behind him.

The white stag is already two meters tall, and the elf sitting on the back of the deer is taller and imposing.

Although Bard had never seen the Wood Elf King Thranduil himself, he immediately realized that the young and handsome man in front of him with a kingly aura between his eyebrows must be the King of Thrandil.

It's just that...... King Thranduil, who had not left the capital for half a century, had come to Riverdale in person?

What's going on?

Bard froze in shock, forgetting to salute King Thrandil.

If a tattered human civilian had not saluted King Thrandil, King Thrandil's White Stag mount would have stepped directly over the commoner's head.

However, King Thranduil restranded the head of the white stag and said softly to Bud, "Is it Lord Bud?" ”

Bard was even more stunned.

You know, the title of "Lord" is an obvious honorific title, and as King Thranduil, he only uses an honorific title for Queen Galadriel at most! There should be no honorific title for a down-and-out civilian like Bard.

Bard stood stunned, forgetting to answer King Thrandil's question, thinking he was dreaming.

Lord Thranduil smiled faintly, raised his voice and asked repeatedly, "Excuse me, is it Lord Bard the Dragon Slayer?" ”

Bard woke up like a dream, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "I'm sorry Your Majesty, I'm Bud, and I really dare not deserve the name of the dragon slayer." ”

King Thranduil immediately turned over and dismounted, smiling and taking Bud's hand, "Smaug is one of the greatest scourges of Middle-earth, and now that you can kill Smaug, that's a real achievement!" I know that your town of Changhu has also suffered from the battle against Smaug, so I have brought you the supplies you urgently need to help you through this difficult time, and I hope you will not refuse. ”

Before the words fell, a large group of elven servants led a carriage full of various supplies and slowly walked into Riverdale City.

There were all kinds of grain, vegetables, meat, and even fine wine, blankets on the carriage.

There were more than a dozen truckloads of such supplies, the last of which were filled with weapons and armor.

The refugees in the town of Riverdale cheered excitedly when they saw the full cars of houses, and some of them had shallow eye sockets and tears.

Bard was also very moved at first, but when he saw the last few truckloads of weapons and equipment, he immediately sobered up.

Of course, he knew that this King of Thranduil was famous for not saving him when he died, and he was cold and arrogant to the extreme, but now he suddenly brought in so many supplies, I am afraid it is not such a simple matter.

However, Bard could no longer refuse.

The refugees are already very hungry and they need this food and blankets.

Moreover, if he directly rejected the good intentions of the Thranduil King, he would probably anger the powerful Elven King as well.

So he bowed humbly and said, "Your Majesty, I really don't know how to thank you for these supplies...... We'll double it. ”

King Thranduil smiled softly, "What? Do I look like I'm here to do business with you? Of course, you don't have to thank me, I've always been straightforward, and I'm not here to help you, but to get my own stuff back. ”

Bard said in surprise, "The treasure of the dwarves of the lonely mountain? ”

King Thranduil raised his chin haughtily and said, "No, it's a treasure that belongs to our elven clan. It is a gem that has been passed down from generation to generation by our elves, a green leaf and white gem. ”

Bud asked, "That's all?" You're fighting just to get a gem that belongs to you? ”

King Thranduil laughed, "Does it sound ridiculous? But, sometimes it's so ridiculous, do you think that if I send a messenger, Thorin will be happy to give me back what belongs to me? No, he wouldn't, and I expected that. The Lonely Mountain people are greedy, they were not like this at first, they were noble people at first, but as they had more and more wealth, they became more and more greedy. Do you think they promised you that you would be rich, and that they would really give you the gold? ”

Bard frowned and said, "Thorin said it in front of the townspeople of the entire Long Lake Town, he is now the king, he shouldn't break his word, right?" ”

King Thranduil sneered, "Maybe when you become the King of the Vale, you won't break your word, but Thorin? No, he won't give you a penny. ”

Bud shook his head, "I don't believe that, because I only need a small amount of gold, just enough for us to rebuild Riverdale." ”

"Oh, really?" King Thranduil smiled, "Look at the location of Rivervalley Town, is it holding the throat of the Lonely Mountain?" If I were the Lord of the Lonely Mountain, I wouldn't let anyone else build a capital here that could attack me at any time. ”

Bud sighed helplessly, "We just want to survive!" ”

King Thranduil smiled, "I understand, but Thorin may not care, Lord Bard, I suggest you accept my weapons and equipment, because the war is about to begin." ”
