In fact, there are still a lot of treasures left in the ogre's cave. Tang Sen remembered that in the original work, Thorin and his party got three sharp blades made by elves and a lot of coins in the cave.
p>

Obviously, because of the episode just now, everyone is not in the mood to search, and Tang Sen will naturally not remind him. He is so happy.

Thorin Oakenshield is a very troublesome person, Townsend thought so even before meeting him.

It's not just that this person only thinks about the lonely mountain, the wealth in the lonely mountain, and the status of the king under the mountain. Other things can't shake his belief at all.

It's because of his special status.

It is much more troublesome to form an army in this world than in the Pirates of the Caribbean world. After all, people in this world value loyalty more, and whether they are elves, dwarves or humans, their loyalty already belongs to their respective leaders.

.

For example, Salin, even though she had made an oath to Tang Sen, she was unable to resist under Solin's order and faced the dilemma of loyalty and oath.

Relying on wealth, Tang Sen can only employ dozens of people as he does now, and he will always face the risk of betrayal.

Moreover, it is absolutely impossible for dozens of people to successfully obtain Mount Doom, and they cannot even see the Black Gate of Mordor.

Therefore, if you want to have a large enough dwarf army without betrayal, Thorin Oakenshield cannot get around it.

......

Galloping all the way, because Thorin Oakenshield didn't say a word, the atmosphere in the entire team seemed particularly dull.

Even the most active Sarin had a grimace. This was not because of Thorin Oakenshield, but because Tang Sen had taken back the mithril hammer.

This thing is so big that even in dense jungles like Troll Grove, it is sometimes difficult to pass through the gaps between trees, making it impossible to carry it on the road.

Moreover, the pony under the crotch cannot bear it.

Until the sun rose into the sky, the troll jungle finally came to an end. Through the gaps between the trees, you could already see the hills ahead. The yellow-green grass undulated like waves, and the exposed boulders looked like waves.

The reef in.

Gandalf sped up his horse and moved forward parallel to Tang Sen. He glanced at Thorin in front of him and whispered: "What are you planning?"

"What do you mean?" Tang Sen asked.

"The more I think about it, the more something is wrong. You clearly know that the dwarves you hired belong to Thorin's tribe. If you want to avoid what happened just now, you don't have to appear in front of Thorin." He stared at Tang Sen.

, said:

"However, you allowed this to happen, and during the conversation with Solin, you used language traps to stimulate Sorin to recognize the so-called compensation on the grounds of integrity. Then, you seemed to be deliberately provoking his anger.

, trying to guide the topic towards Gushan."

Tang Sen glanced at Gandalf unexpectedly.

He has never underestimated this wizard who has traveled in Middle-earth for thousands of years, but when the information is completely unequal, the other party can still see that he has ulterior motives, and he is indeed worthy of his reputation.

"What do you think I am planning?" Tang Sen did not deny it, but asked rhetorically.

"The wealth of the Lonely Mountain?" Gandalf himself denied the guess: "No, it's impossible, you don't lack wealth at all."

"What is it? I think if we are going to travel together next time, you'd better tell me, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well every day!"

"You don't have to worry, because we won't travel together." Tang Sen said.

Gandalf was stunned for a moment: "You don't plan to go to the Lonely Mountain? Why are you approaching Thorin?"

"No, you won't go to Lonely Mountain." Tang Sen smiled and pinched the horse's belly slightly. The horse quickened its pace and overtook Gandalf.

"Ah!" Gandalf growled: "I hate people who speak mysteriously!"

He habitually ignored that he also had this habit, and just cursed in a low voice: "Nasty traveler!"

After leaving the troll forest, the sun suddenly shone on everyone without any hindrance, and the scenery in front of them was beautiful. The dwarves finally couldn't restrain their nature and couldn't help but start laughing and joking.

"Sharda, did that human really use mithril to hire you?"

"Soli, how long have you been out? How did you find us? Last night was so thrilling, I almost smelled my own barbecue!"

"That human is a traveler? What's the origin?"

"Salin! It's so nice to see you! Can I touch your mithril armor?"

"..."

At this time, Thorin Oakenshield finally slowed down his horse speed, came to Tang Sen with a sullen face, and said directly and decisively: "I will not break my promise to you for the liquidated damages and thank you gifts. If you

If you don’t believe it, you can follow us to Lonely Mountain, but Shalin and the dwarves must go back.”

"I need Shalin and the dwarves to ensure my safety." Tang Sen said slowly: "I paid the money. Unless I see liquidated damages or the dwarves are not honest, the employment will not be terminated."

"After all, there are Oaks everywhere in this world. If I were accidentally killed by an Oak, wouldn't it be an advantage for you?"

"You!" Thorin's eyes widened, and he suppressed his anger and said, "As long as I am here, no Oak can hurt you."

"Really? I don't believe it."

Tang Sen pinched the horse's belly and refused to stand side by side with Thorin.

Gandalf rushed over in time, replaced Tang Sen's position, and said: "Let's see what he wants to do. Don't worry, I will keep an eye on him."

He is still thinking about the Supreme Lord of the Rings that Tang Sen mentioned. No matter what, he must verify the authenticity of the news.

At this time, suddenly a horn sound came from behind the hills.

Then the sound of howling wolves and the sound of galloping were heard from the front, left and right at the same time.

"Oops!"

Thorin's expression changed, he reined in his horse and looked away, only to see densely packed figures suddenly emerging from behind the hills and boulders on three sides.

"It's those Orcs who have been following us! We were ambushed!"

He shouted loudly: "Quick! Go back to the jungle!"

Others have already reacted and turned their horses' heads.

But it was too late. Under the speed of the warg, the dwarf on the pony had no time to return to the jungle. The Oaks had already formed an encirclement behind.

As a result, the screams of Orcs were heard from all directions, and the howling wind mixed with the stench of Orcs hit our faces.

"Why so many?" Gandalf held the hand with one hand and looked around, "This is not right at all. The Orcs following us are just a small team. How could they mobilize so many Orcs from the Misty Mountains in a short period of time?"
