"The situation is serious now? So what will happen?" Merry asked. "Will those dark horse knights come to attack the hotel tonight or early tomorrow morning? Oh my God, if this is the case, it would be terrifying!"

"No, I do mean that the situation doesn't seem optimistic, but it's not as bad as you think. At least the few dark horse knights who only act in secret and take advantage of the darkness are far from daring to attack the hotel openly in front of the villagers and the guests of the hotel in Buli Village. They are not so rampant." said Shenxingke.

"What's more, this is not their style. Those evil knights of dark horses are the most powerful only when they take advantage of the darkness and bully the few. Unless there is no choice, or the territory from Yin Liyad to this side has fallen, they will not easily attack such a bright and crowded house.

Despite this, don't lower your vigilance. The most terrifying force of the enemy is that they are good at taking advantage of the fear and greed in people's hearts. Perhaps it is precisely because of these weaknesses in the hearts that many people in Buli Village have become their servants.

It is very likely that the gatekeeper of Buli Village is one of these people. When I came to Buli to inquire about the news a few days ago, I saw the gatekeeper secretly communicate with some strangely black-robed men. In any case, the topic they talked about was not a good thing."

"So that's it. Why can those dark horse knights still quietly break through the gate of the closed Buli Village at night without knowing it, it can be explained clearly." Frodo said. "But what should we do next?"

"Tonight you stay in this living room and don't go back to your room! They will definitely find your place to live. The windows of your hotel rooms specially designed for the Hobbit are too low, almost level with the flat ground outside. If I ask me, it is almost a chance for the enemy to come in and attack at will. Norber and I will go and bring your luggage first."

After the Gods Walker left, Frodo immediately began to tell Meri about a series of things that happened tonight. When he heard a series of thrilling chaos in the hotel lobby, Meri sighed in annoyance, and he regretted that he did not walk with Frodo and others tonight. While Merri was still reading Gandalf's letter, Gods Walker and Nober came in.

"Dear sirs, I brought all your luggage together with Mr. Shenxingke." Nober said, "By the way, I made a disguise on the bed in the original room, which made the illusion of your fake body sleeping there. I rolled up a bunch of clothes and placed them in the middle of each bed. By the way, I specially found a few wool blankets to make the heads of dummies for you. Generally speaking, the fake people look quite realistic." He added with a smile.

Pipin said with a smile: "This sounds amazing, thank you, Norber!" After thanking Norber for his creative ideas, he asked with concern. "But what if they see through our disguise?"

"Then I can only take one step at a time," said the God Walker. "I hope it will be Christmas Eve tonight. When the sun rises tomorrow morning, the enemy will not dare to appear on the streets in a dignified manner."

"Good night, gentlemen! I'll go watch the door for Mr. Creambo. If you have any needs at night, please ring the bell and call me!" Norber ran to take over the job of guarding the door tonight.

The group of people's luggage and equipment were piled on the floor of the living room. They blocked the door with chairs and closed the windows. Frodo looked out the window, but it seemed that he was not talented enough. Anyway, after looking for a while, he could not see any abnormal signs from the view outside the window. Under the urging of the Shenxingke, Frodo finally closed the thick blinds quickly and pulled down the thick blackout curtains on the side. Then, everyone watched the Shenxingke keep the fire prosperous. As a substitute, all the candles in the room were extinguished directly, in order to prevent the enemy from paying attention to the possible abnormalities in this ordinary living room.

The Hobbit was wrapped in a blanket and lay down towards the fire. As if he had made up his mind to guard the entrance of the living room door for everyone. Shenxing Guest sat straight on the chair where the door was blocked, and closed his eyes and rested.

While the gods were still awake, the Hobbits, who were optimistic by nature, also began to tease and talk to each other.

"Jump onto the moon!" Merry giggled in a blanket. "Frodo, you are so talented. But next time you're going to be ready to have another singing that is popular all hotels, but you must remember to call me in advance."

"Okay, it's getting late, so everyone should take a break quickly. Too much sound will really attract the enemy!" As soon as the Shenxingke mentioned the dark horse knight who might be hiding in the shadows near the Yuema Hotel, the Hobbit people quickly shut their mouths. To be honest, compared to the unhappiness of being interrupted by talk, the possible enemy attacks are even more unacceptable.

Even in order for everyone to have better physical strength and energy when they set out tomorrow, Frodo made up his mind to go to bed quickly. One by one, the Hobbit fell asleep.

....

As they were preparing to bed at Buli's hotel, the stag land was shrouded in darkness.

Under the dark sky, at some point, if Frodo and others were here, they would have watched the familiar thick fog suddenly swept across all directions. Gradually, the fog almost made the entire house nominally placed in the valley near the houses in Frodo, which was almost impossible to detect.

Little Pang Borg, who stayed in his new home in the valley for Frodo, was standing on the edge of the window in the hall of the new home, peeping out with fear. It was strange that he was shrouded in a panic all day today, as if some terrifying creatures could affect his will appeared around the house where he was. It was precisely because of his uneasy that Little Pang Borg stood by the window and looked out after just over ten minutes today, hoping to figure out what was going on outside the house.

While he was peeping out, a black shadow moved silently under the tree, and the door seemed to open and close silently with his will. Hearing the strange sound in his ears, Xiaopang Borg felt panic in his heart, and his hands and feet began to tremble wildly. Finally, he finally plucked up the courage to walk to the front door of the hall to check whether the door lock was as tight as usual.

The night gradually became darker. The sound of horse hooves came from outside the door. They stopped outside the door, and three black shadows walked in quietly. One stood in front of the door, and the other two stood on both sides, like the shadow of a rock, allowing time to pass by minute by minute. The house and the shaking old trees seemed to be waiting.

Time passed by a long time in silent waiting, and soon came the most sleepy moment of every night, and that, Yeqi happened to be the best time for attack. The figure by the door began to move. In the darkness without starlight and moon, a blade flashed with light, as if it was a beam of light that had been removed from the scabbard. This weapon with cold light burst into pieces and smashed hard at the door of Frodo's new home with the wave of its holder.

"Send you to open the door in the name of Moduo!" The speaker's voice was extremely cold, just as cold and silent as if he was talking in the thousands of years of mysterious ice deep in him.

Even though their voices were strange and terrifying, their power was extremely terrifying, with wood chips splashing everywhere, and the door locks were beaten in half. The black shadow floated in quickly.

At that moment, the sound of horns came from the nearby bushes. The harsh sound cut through the silent night like a sharp knife.

"Everyone wake up and don't sleep anymore! It's a fire, it's a fire, it's a possible enemy attack!"

Little Pang Borg is not stupid. As soon as he saw the dark shadows swaying into the garden, he knew that he would be dead if he didn't escape this time.

There was almost no delay, and he quickly walked through the back door of the room through the garden and ran to the most populous place in the center of the Buckland. When he ran to the nearest house a mile away, he fell down as if he was panting. "No, no, no!" he cried. "No! It's not me! It's not in my hands!" Seeing his panic and helpless look, he saw the angry fire near Frodo's new home, and the residents of the Buckland immediately guessed that the enemy had invaded the Buckland, most of which were monsters from Lao Lin. Then, they did not waste any time, and the entire Buckland immediately began to mobilize the enemy to deal with the enemy's invasion and war.

"All people pay attention, enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Members of the Liquor Deer family blew the alert horns of the stag land. Since the harsh winter when the Liquor River was frozen many years ago, the dull and loud horn sound has not sounded for a hundred years.

"Wake up! Wake up!"

Soon, when the distant Charles had agreed to watch and help each other, the sound of the horn sounded also echoed the warning of the stag land. For a moment, the Hobbit settlements from all directions began to mobilize to deal with the enemy's attacks.

As for the black knights who quietly attacked Little Fat Borg, they were now looking at the direction of the Land of Mordor without hesitation. Through this raid, they had already obtained the information they wanted to know - Frodo had already left the Buckland, and the Lord of the Rings had left Charles!

Frodo suddenly woke up from his dream, as if some sound awakened him. He saw the divine traveler still sitting on the chair with bright eyes, staring at the fire that was very vigorous under his care; but he did not show any warning.

Frodo soon returned to his dream again, but this dream was filled with dull and loud horn sounds. This meant that the war was coming and the enemy attacks were tense signals. Everything familiar made Frodo feel depressed. He opened his eyes and heard a rooster crowing in the yard. It was dawn, and the Shenxingke stretched out his hand and opened the thick blinds. The dawn of the sky had already shone in, and a gust of cold wind blew in from outside the window.

The Gods woke everyone up and immediately took them to the bedroom. When they saw the tragic situation in the room, they couldn't help but be glad that they accepted his advice.

The window was pried open, the window flew in the morning breeze, the bed was messy, the sheets and blankets were torn into pieces, and the floor was thrown all over the ground.

For verification, the Shenxingke immediately rang the bell and called the hotel owner, Creambo, and his honest and reliable waiter, Norber. To everyone's surprise, even though Creambo said that he and Norber had not slept all night and stood nearby to watch, they did not hear any sound of enemies breaking the window and causing damage last night!

"I have never encountered such a thing in my life!" He waved his hands in horror. "The guests couldn't sleep in bed, and the way these enemies attacked was too cruel! It seemed that their barbarity was just as good as those half-orc robbers."

"Okay, Mr. Butterbo, I think the enemy will not be kind to us," said the God Walker. "But, at least after we leave, your hotel should not suffer such losses again. You can rest assured. We will leave immediately. Don't worry about breakfast, we only need a little milk and boiled eggs to put on the stomach. We will leave within a few minutes."

Butterboy hurried out to see if the horses were ready and to get some food for them. However, he soon came back in a panic. I wonder if it was a trick that the enemy had come up with. Anyway, the Hobbits' ponies and all the mounts and livestock in the stable were all released by people cutting short ropes!

This bad news almost made Frodo unable to walk. How could they hike to Rivendell under the tracks of the horse-riding pursuers? If they really wanted to walk over, they would almost be exhausted and wouldn't be able to do it!! The God Walker looked at the four Hobbits silently, as if evaluating their strength and courage.

"Let's relax, the pony actually can't help us gain a lot of advantages in speed." He finally said, seemingly guessing Frodo's idea. "The road I'm going to take will not make much difference between walking and riding. Anyway, I was going to hike. What I was worried about is food and equipment. The next place we go can't get food and other supplies from others. And we must bring more, because we may delay the trip or be forced to take a detour. How much luggage can you carry?"

"If necessary, I can carry as much luggage as I can." Pipin raised his head, obviously he still hoped that he would be braver.

"I can carry two people's belongings," Sam said firmly.

Hearing the Hobbit people's answer, the Shenxingke shook his head slightly dissatisfied. Obviously, this was not the answer he wanted to hear.
