Chapter 1336 Never Underestimate Dwarves
When Bud approached the gate, a black raven suddenly flew out from inside and spread its wings to the sky.
Bud didn't care and continued to walk to the only diamond-shaped gap left in the door wall.
"I'll listen carefully, what do you want to say." Solin stood inside the door wall and said coldly.
Bard sighed and said humbly: "Sorin, no, Your Majesty, I would like to ask you for assistance on behalf of our refugees. As long as you can give us some gold to let us survive this cold winter, we are willing to surrender to Gushan and be subjects of Gushan forever. We don't want much, but the part you promised us."
This condition is the final humility.
With Bad's temper, he certainly didn't want to beg Sorin with a cold and arrogant look like this, but for the sake of refugees, he had to give up his personal dignity.
Thorin said coldly: "Oh, is it? Forever, for the subject? Then will you deal with the elf guards in the golden helmets and golden armor for me?"
"We, we are just unarmed refugees! How can we fight those well-trained Elves guards?" said Bud.
Thorin sneered: "If you can't fight for me, how can I believe that you aliens are sincerely submitting?"
Bud said: "You are so hard forcing people. You know, if we go to war with the elves like this, we will all be cannon fodder immediately and be destroyed."
Thorin sneered, "If that's true, I naturally would not doubt your loyalty as my subjects."
Bard said: "Can't you take a step back? Even if you give us some wealth first so that we can survive first? In this way, we can naturally offer our loyalty."
Thorin sneered, "Is that so? Then how do you want me to give you this gold?"
When Bud heard that there was a door, he quickly said, "Of course, we will come in and move out by ourselves. There is no need to bother you. Of course, it is up to you to decide how much you take."
Thorin sneered, "Yes, open the city gate and let you in... Then the elf guards suddenly took the opportunity to kill in. You both sides work together to kill us and occupy our lonely mountain. Is this a strategy?"
Bud was stunned and then said, "No! King Solin! I think you are thinking too much! We don't like war!"
Thorin sneered and said, "I don't like it either, but when it's time to fight, Thorin will never be lenient."
Bad sighed faintly, "King Thorin, do you know that if I go back like this, it means that the war between us has begun."
Thorin laughed, "I said a long time ago that you are not kind to our Gushan Caibao."
Bard said in a deep voice: "No, in fact, what you promised us to have wealth, we just want to get back that part of it and get through it."
Thorin said coldly: "Then don't you know that since I promised you, I have the right to take back my promise."
Bud frowned and said, "After our Changhu Town has been destroyed and more than a thousand innocent people have died, you tell me, do you take back your promise? Solin, don't be too ruthless."
Thorin said coldly: "Your threat is useless to me."
Bard said angrily: "What about your conscience in human life? Don't you know the justification for my reason? My people, when you need it most, have extended a helping hand to you, and in return, you bring them death and destruction!"
Thorin sneered, "Don't make you so noble! The people of Changhu Town are just willing to help me because they are greedy for my gold!"
Bard said angrily: "But this is obviously a fair deal we have negotiated!"
"Fair deal?" Thorin said angrily: "What choice do we have besides using our wealth to exchange for food and blankets? Sacrifice the future in exchange for the freedom of the present. Do you call this fair deal? We were clearly coerced by you at that time! If I don't agree, can we leave Changhu Town alive?"
Bard immediately pursed his lips.
Thorin said coldly: "Tell me, Dragon Slayer Bud, why should I risk being attacked by you to fulfill a transaction that was originally coerced by you?"
"Because you have promised, isn't this really worthless?" Bud said.
Thorin walked away from the conversation and turned around and saw that the dwarves were all looking at him with a serious face.
This made him a little angry. He said loudly to Bud outside the wall: "Let's go! The talks are over! If you don't leave, the sharp arrow will be waiting for you!"
Bud pounded the thick wall in anger, then turned over and ran towards the valley town.
"What are you doing!" Bilbo asked Thorin angrily.
Thorin said coldly: "I am doing something to protect us, Bilbo, you are not a king, I don't expect you to understand me."
Bilbo said angrily: "But you can't start a war! This is not what we want, nor is it what refugees want!"
Thorin pointed to the elves in the golden helmets and armor of the River Valley Town and said, "That's what they want."
Bilbo said: "But what does this have to do with refugees? You already have so many gold, silver and treasures, just give them some?"
Thorin said coldly: "It is okay to give some gold and silver treasures casually, but if Bad can accept Thrandir's unicorns, then when they come in to get the gold and silver treasures, they may attract an army of elves."
Bilbo said angrily: "Thorin, you think so badly about everyone!"
Thorin frowned and said, "Yes! But what can I do! You have no worries, and you will lose at most. You will be able to go back to your bottom pit and be your rich second-generation Master Bakins! And what about me! What I am responsible for is the revival of the entire Gushan Dwarf clan! I don't care what others say about me! Whether it's ungrateful, I don't keep my promises, or I'm so sarcastic, even if I'm confused by treasures, I don't care! I'd rather bear the infamy for a lifetime than let the Gushan clan rise again! As for Gushan's reputation, it can be rebuilt bit by bit by bit by bit!"
Bilbo said helplessly: "But, Thorin, the current situation is very unfavorable to us! There is a whole army of elves outside! There are hundreds of angry refugees because you turned against your promise! And I have only a dozen people! How can we win this battle!"
Thorin smiled coldly and said, "Why, don't you believe in my ability?"
Bilbo shook his head and said, "If you were Diedi, I wouldn't say anything, but Thorin, you are not Diedi, you can't win this battle!"
Thorin was not angry, but smiled faintly, "Yes, if I don't know Died, I would think your words are insulting me, but I know Died, and I also know that I am not as good as Died. However, Master Baggins, never underestimate the dwarf."
