Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1093 1075. After one night

People looked warily at the two elves who suddenly appeared in the square.

These newborn children usually do not have any contact with ordinary people. At most, they buy wine in Changhu Town and transport it to the Woodland Kingdom. However, they still negotiate directly with the mayor and the money is given directly to the mayor.

Legolas and Tauriel didn't care about the looks of the surrounding townspeople.

Although elves are kind-hearted creatures, there are differences between them. The elves in the Woodland Kingdom are more exclusive and have little contact with humans.

The two elves walked through the busy crowd and walked quickly towards where Lan En and Bard were.

"We saw the commander of this orc force last night. He was a strong one-eyed orc."

Legolas shouted to both of them before he could reach them.

"We wanted to intercept him and kill him, but after the pontoon at the entrance of the town was broken, he drove a boat onto the lake."

Bard stood up at a loss. He had never dealt with the elves before, and he didn't know that these two elves were fighting alongside them in the town last night.

So after he stood up, he cast a somewhat confused look at Lan En, and then thanked Legolas and Tauriel after receiving a response.

"Sorry, I didn't know you were helping us deal with the orcs last night." Bard said sincerely, "Now everything is in chaos. We haven't even counted the specific number of casualties yet."

Legolas shook his head, indicating that he didn't care.

"I completely understand that you are in a difficult situation now. No one could have imagined that the actions of these orcs have reached such a rampant level."

"But you'd better be on your guard immediately."

Legolas lowered his voice and looked around with pity, at the people who were surviving the disaster and those who were busy preparing for the rest of their lives.

"The orcs have begun to act unscrupulously, which means that the darkness in this land has flourished to a certain extent. The dark forces are colluding with each other. Many things that were only heard in scary stories before may also take the opportunity to come out."

Lan En didn't know much about this, but Bud's face turned ugly almost instantly.

This land is located in the middle of the north of Middle-earth. To the west is the Kingdom of Angmar, which was destroyed by the northern kingdoms. It is the fortress established by the Witch King of Angmar.

To the east are the Dongyi people who are allied with the orcs.

It is precisely because the existence of the Lonely Mountain cuts off the alliance between the two dark forces that the strategic position and geographical location are so critical. It is worthy for Gandalf to organize a restoration expedition for the Lonely Mountain dwarves.

But today, when the Gushan area is so weak, the situation is no longer 'the evil forces are cut off from the middle', but 'two evil forces are attacking in the middle'!

In the past, the Dongyi people and the Kingdom of Angmar were not part of the daily lives of people in Changhu Town.

After all, they have lived in poverty and peace for a long time.

But now it is obvious that the darkness is expanding day by day, and even enemies like orcs, who disappeared from this land earlier than the dwarves, have appeared, so it will not be surprising if other things appear.

"But what else can we do?"

Bud pinched his forehead and whispered feebly.

"We are so weak that we can't even raise a few decent warriors. Our home has been destroyed, and it's a problem to live anywhere in this weather, not to mention the lack of food and clothing. Even without the orcs, If anything, people may starve to death in winter.”

Shelter, food, drink, defense.

This is something that Bard needs to solve urgently. With the current weather, even a healthy person will get sick if he stays outside for a long time. What's more, the townspeople just received the biggest shock in their lives last night.

What's even more terrifying is

Bard's eyes couldn't help but look to the north. From the charred and collapsed building debris, he could see a lonely snow-capped mountain that was originally covered.

"Sorry, we can't be of much help with this."

Legolas opened his mouth, but closed it weakly.

As an elite among elves, his combat prowess is indeed commendable. But right now, Changhu Town clearly needs more than just combat power.

"But I saw the direction in which the orc leader left last night, probably towards the Kingdom of Angmar. I will go and investigate the situation."

"Isn't the Kingdom of Angmar destroyed?"

Lan En raised his head and asked.

"It was breached, but we did not occupy it after we breached it. The environment there was no longer suitable for humans and elves to live long due to the invasion of darkness. Therefore, after we sealed the Witch Queen of Angmar, we were unable to carry out long-term operations there. control."

Legolas said, shaking his head.

"I suspect that there may have been a resurgence there. Otherwise, how could there be such large-scale orc activities in the northern region?"

"They quietly passed through our surveillance and a series of defense lines in the dark forest, and appeared directly in Changhu Town to kill. This is wrong no matter how you think about it."

"It would be good if you could pay attention to it." Lan nodded to Legolas, "It's better than not even being able to discover the problem."

After the elves and humans nodded to each other again, the elves were ready to leave.

But at this moment, Bofur's anxious voice came from the busy crowd.

"King's Leaf Sword Grass! Who has King's Leaf Sword Grass! Someone here is dying!"

"King's Sword?" Tauriel, who had just taken two steps, frowned and turned back, and walked to the panicked dwarf. "What do you want to treat with it?"

"External injury! An arrow wound!"

Bofur swallowed his saliva and spoke breathlessly.

"One of us was hit by an orc's arrow yesterday, and our doctor, he, he just saw what the symptoms were now, and he asked me to find this herb quickly."

"King's Sword. Treat Morgul's arrow?"

Legolas behind Tauriel reacted in less than a second.

The elves' endless life allowed Legolas to possess all kinds of knowledge and master all kinds of skills.

Although he was only a young elf born in the Third Age, almost two thousand years old, his herbal medicine was not ordinary.

Tauriel and Legolas looked at each other, and the blond handsome elf whispered.

"It seems that something has happened in the old place of Angmar. It's a foregone conclusion. I just don't know to what extent."

The weapon of the Witch King of Angmar is the Blade of Morgul. The evil weapon is now placed in Rivendell as evidence.

Although the evil of this Morgul Arrow is not as good as the Blade of Morgul, it is not something that orcs from any place can get.

"Anyway, save as many as you can." Tauriel said to Legolas.

The two elves nodded to each other and walked towards Bofur.

Bard also shouted here: "King's Sword Grass is a wild grass for feeding pigs here. Now it's a mess. You can look for it yourself."

Bofur couldn't care so much at this time.

He happened to see a townsman, leading his big fat pig that was lucky enough not to be killed by the fire and orcs last night, walking towards the square they believed to be safe.

The pigs raised by the townspeople seemed to be of good breed. Although they were fat and strong, their noses were not long. Compared with ordinary pigs, they looked a little honest and cute.

A bunch of green grass with small white flowers hung from the pig's mouth, and it was chewing with a juicy sound.

Bofur quickly pulled the grass leaves from the pig's mouth that had not yet entered its mouth, held them in his hands and ran into the square.

Tauriel and Legolas followed Bofur.

In the waterway around the square, the sun gradually rose and reflected a golden luster. It was the boat full of treasures that the mayor carried when he fled last night, which fell when he rowed.

However, these gold and silver lusters that could penetrate people's hearts were only salvaged by two townspeople found by Bard.

Gold is very useful. It can be used to rebuild the town and maintain life.

But now that they have just suffered a disaster, there is no place to trade even if they want to buy things with gold.

Now the townspeople are tired, cold and hungry, so they don't even have the energy to salvage gold.

Kili's leg injury made his face look like a floating corpse in water yesterday, but it seems that the injury caused by Morgul's arrow is difficult to identify.

After Oin, who was taking care of him, confirmed the injury, the King Leaf Sword Grass was almost immediately effective under the elves' medical skills.

Although there was still a layer of cold sweat from the pain on Qili's face that stuck to his hair, he was visibly more red and ruddy.

Even with the extraordinary tenacity of the Arda dwarves, he was able to walk in less than twenty minutes.

Seeing that the two elves had cured Qili, Changhu Town temporarily had another dwarf warrior who could fight ten people at once, but Bard and Lan En's expressions were not relaxed.

Because there were still many problems that had not been solved.

"We can't stay here any longer. The cold, fear, and hunger will kill people when combined."

Bard hurriedly wandered around the ruins of Changhu Town, looking for all the blankets and clothes, and mobilized the townspeople to collect them together.

"We can't stay here anymore." Lan En agreed with him, "But do you have anywhere else to go?"

"Yes," Bard responded straightforwardly at first, but then sighed with difficulty. "Riverdale."

"That city is different from Lake Town. It was built with a lot of stone. Even if Smaug broke through it in one day and it was abandoned for a long time, I am sure that there are at least many buildings in the city that are intact."

"But the only problem is..."

Bard pulled a corner of a blanket pulled out of the ruins in his hand and looked to the north.

There is a lonely snowy mountain there, and Riverdale is at the foot of the snowy mountain.

Lane also followed his complicated gaze. He gently pointed out the problem.

"Riverdale is too close to Smaug."

"But at this point, there is no other way to go."

Bard gritted his teeth and continued to pull the blanket out of the ruins.

"The dwarves have already set off. No matter what, according to the prophecy, Smaug will rekindle the war. There is no point in being too cautious!"
