legend begins with lord of the rings

Abel opened his arms and walked towards the rising sun. When the sun jumped above the horizon, he took a long breath and felt that his whole body and soul were purified.

After watching the sunrise, when Abel came back, Heili was already cooking porridge with the hobbits.

"Mr. Abel, you are back." Hei Li greeted Abel.

"Yeah~" Abel responded, found a place and started to wash up.

The dwarves all got up now. It must be said that the dwarves' recovery ability is really great. They were all drunk last night, but now they are all very energetic.

"Where should we go next?" Thorin held a map of the Lonely Mountain in his hand. The wizard and Balin stood around watching.

"From here, you can go directly through the Green Forest (Black Forest) to Changhu Town. It is very close to the Lonely Mountain." Gandalf pointed at the map and drew a feasible route.

"This is the only way, we don't have much time." Thorin thought for a while and agreed to the wizard's proposal.

Under normal circumstances, dwarves would not choose to enter the green forest, which is the territory of the Sindar elf Thranduil. Thranduil conquered the wood elves there and built a woodland kingdom.

But it is almost November now, and there is only more than a month until the end of December in Turin. The dwarves cannot afford to delay.

After a simple breakfast, everyone packed up and continued on the road.

Because they were hiking, the team moved very slowly this time. It took them two days to get down from the mountain peak.

Then eight days later, we walked out of the forest, and there was a wasteland ahead. The map showed that as long as we passed through this wasteland, we could enter the green forest.

After another few days of traveling, everyone crossed the wilderness area and almost reached the border of the Black Forest.

"Let's rest here tonight, and then enter the green forest tomorrow..." Thorin looked at the forest not far away, his expression not very good.

It was getting late now, so everyone found a flat place and started to set up camp. Fili and Kili were sent to the river to fetch water.

After a while, the two people ran back in panic.

"It doesn't look good~ Orcs... Orcs are chasing me." Kili said, breathing heavily.

"What?" When Thorin heard the orcs, he stood up suddenly and walked to Kili and asked: "How many people are they coming and how far are they from here?"

"I...I...didn't pay attention..." Qili hesitated and couldn't answer.

Thorin looked at Fili who had returned with Kili.

"I didn't see it clearly either. We were too anxious at the time..." Feili couldn't tell the specific situation.

When he was fetching water with his brother, he accidentally heard the voice of a warg. He looked up and saw the orcs in the distance. They were so frightened that they ran back to inform everyone. They didn't pay much attention to other details.

"What can we do?" Thorin also didn't expect that the Feili brothers would be so unreliable this time.

"Don't panic, everyone... we can make a decision after sending people to see the specific situation." Gandalf stood up and said.

"Who is going?" Thorin asked, looking at the dwarves.

"I can't... I'm too fat." Pang Bo spoke first.

The dwarves looked at his bulging belly and laughed. Thorin stared at the dwarves, causing them to stop laughing instantly.

"I can't do it either. My legs and feet can't outrun a warg." Balin, with a gray beard, said.

The straightforward character of the dwarves determines whether they are more suitable to be warriors or berserkers who can only fight in close combat. It is indeed a bit difficult for them to let berserkers act as scouts.

"You seem to have forgotten that we also have a natural-born Mr. Snitch. He is very suitable for this task." Gandalf smiled and looked at the Hobbit.

Bilbo knew who the wizard was talking about, so he walked out bravely and asked without confidence: "Can I really do this?"

"No problem, trust me." Gandalf rubbed the hobbit's head and sounded very sure.

"Then...okay!" Bilbo raised his head and looked at the wizard, mustering up his courage.

"If you want to check the news, I can go with Bilbo." Abel patted the recently exchanged crossbow on his waist and said, "Even if we encounter trouble, I can guarantee that we both can come back safely."

"You..." Gandalf looked at Abel a little unsure. The hobbits' natural big feet allowed them to walk without making any sound. But Abel did not have this ability.

"I agree!" Thorin agreed with Abel's idea. He still remembered that Abel almost killed Azog last time, so there was no problem in terms of combat effectiveness.

The dwarves also nodded, they had great confidence in Abel. Although Abel was very tall, he was definitely dexterous.

"I also agree. I feel more at ease when Abel is with me." Bilbo also expressed his thoughts.

Through the battle with Azog, Abel left a very reliable image to everyone in the team.

"I want to go too." Seeing Abel about to leave, Heili immediately picked up his shield and followed him.

"No, we are not going to fight this time. Just wait here and we will be back soon." Abel directly rejected the big man's idea.

Heili is tall and strong and is a human shield type. The target is too big and is not suitable for such an operation that requires trickery.

Leaving Heli, who was not very happy, Abel and the hobbits walked towards the river.

Still some distance away from the river, Abel saw the orc army in the wilderness in the distance.

The number of orcs that can be seen in the light field of vision has reached about five hundred. From a distance, it is a densely packed area.

"Let's just observe here and then go back." Abel whispered to the hobbit.

There were more orcs following them than last time. The expedition team still had no other choice this time except to continue to escape.

After a while, Abel saw dozens more orcs walking into his field of vision. The leader was Azog, the leader of the orcs.

Azog was replaced by a pure black giant wolf. Although this warg looked very ferocious, it was still a little less powerful than the pure white warg that Abel stabbed to death.

Azog put on a black eyepatch to cover his blind right eye.

Abel judged that the distance between the two was about one kilometer. If he used a compound bow, he could shoot that far, but he would definitely not be able to kill Azog.

"Let's go~" After almost collecting the information, Abel whispered to the hobbits to leave.

Bilbo nodded and quietly stepped back. Suddenly he was stunned and asked in a trembling voice: "Then... what is that?"

"Shh... keep your voice down, don't get discovered." Abel reminded the hobbit first, and then looked at the hobbit.

A giant bear over three meters tall and extremely strong stood on a boulder, staring unblinkingly at the orcs.

It looked fiercely and grinded its teeth from time to time. Thick saliva dripped from the corner of its mouth. However, it did not make much movement. It was obvious that it was also secretly observing the movements of the orcs.
