All the dwarves looked at each other in confusion. They didn't understand why Gao Yuan suddenly asked about Bard's whereabouts.

Even Dyne didn't notice that Bard, who had been staying with them all this time, had disappeared without knowing it.

It was Thranduil who stood up.

As early as when the dwarves blew open the city gate, he discovered that Bard was no longer among the crowd.

It's just that the battlefield environment was too chaotic at the time, and he didn't have time to search for Bard's location in the vast sea of ​​people, so he didn't pay much attention.

"Since we entered the Lonely Mountain, I have never seen Bard again. The last time I saw him was when the evil dragon attacked the coalition forces from the north." Thranduil shook his head and said.

"At that time, the entire battlefield was in chaos, and we simply couldn't take care of everyone."

"Do you have anything important to do with Bud?"

Bud's disappearance left Gao Yuan silent for a while.

Judging from Thranduil's description, Bard is likely to have been killed.

As for whether the other party took the Arken Stone and escaped quietly through the chaos on the battlefield.

Gao Yuan had never thought about this aspect at all.

According to the description in the original book and the movie, Bard is unlikely to be the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death.

Moreover, a treasure with unique characteristics like the Arken Stone was too conspicuous in his hand.

Even if he wants to take the Arken Stone for himself, he has to think about it first.

Can I bear the revenge from Gaoyuan?

Besides, Bard's children are still in Riverdale City.

At this moment, Riverdale City is still in the hands of Rivendell's elven army, which means that his children are in his hands.

"There are dangers on Raven Ridge that you don't know about. I need the Arken Stone to help us deal with those enemies." Gao Yuan answered Thranduil's question.

These words caused a burst of nervousness among Thorin and others.

On Raven Ridge, there are actually enemies that even Gao Yuan is afraid of!

"Are there any enemies on Raven Ridge that you, Mr. Gao Yuan, can't deal with?" Thorin asked quickly.

Gao Yuan was seen shaking his head solemnly.

"It's not something that can be dealt with. They are just some ghosts hidden in the underworld and controlled by the Dark Lord."

"Perhaps they are very dangerous to you, but in front of me, they are not that difficult to deal with."

This is not Gao Yuan's bragging. He really doesn't take the Ring Spirits seriously. Although they can always be resurrected by Sauron, if he wants to expel the Ring Spirits to their master, it can be easily done.

.

"It's just that among them, there is an extremely difficult guy. Even I find it very difficult."

"It's not that his power is so powerful, but with my current power, I can't kill him at all. Only with the help of the power of the Arken Stone, I drove him back to his master."

The difficult guy Gao Yuan mentioned was the leader of the Ringwraiths, the Witch King of Angmar.

The Golden Flower Lord of Rivendell whose strength is comparable to that of Maia—Gro Fendel.

He once predicted the fate of the Witch-King of Angmar: "His end is far away, and he will not die by human hands."

Gao Yuan never despises the prophecies that are spread among the people in this world.

No matter where you hear these prophecies, they have their source, and they are not groundless.

What's more, Gao Yuan personally asked Gro Findel for advice on this prophecy.

Therefore, he was very sure that he would definitely not be able to kill the leader of the Ring Spirits.

And among his existing powers, he has yet to discover that he has the ability to restrain the Witch King of Angmar.

Therefore, he had no choice but to use the power of the Aken gem to try to expel or eliminate the opponent.

If his guess about the Arken Stone is not wrong.

"If you encounter the ghosts I mentioned, it's best not to get entangled with them unless absolutely necessary."

"Among us, only my Blade of the Evening Star and Thorin's Beast Bite Sword can cause harm to them. Your weapons have no effect on them."

"When you have to face the edge of those ghosts."

"Remember! You must overcome the fear in your heart." Gao Yuan warned the dwarf seriously.

Facing Gao Yuan's warning, the dwarves nodded heavily.

Gao Yuan rarely gave them such a severe warning, which had to attract their attention.

Now that Bard has lost his trace, Gao Yuan's wish to rely on the power of the Arken Stone to deal with the Witch King of Angmar has come to nothing.

He couldn't guarantee what the final result would be after they rushed to Raven Ridge.

After confirming that all the dwarves had climbed onto its giant claws, the golden dragon's huge head looked towards the cloud-shrouded Raven Ridge, flapped its huge wings, and left the ground.

Flying towards Raven Ridge.

Dai Yin looked at Gao Yuan and others leaving with a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice: "May Du Lin bless you, my brother."

The golden dragon led the dwarves to fly towards Raven Ridge, directly bypassing the orcs guarding the mountainside, and soon arrived in front of the ruins of the dwarf watchtower in Raven Ridge.

At this time, hundreds of orcs had already gathered in front of the dwarf watchtower.

They continued to fire arrows at the golden dragon from the watchtowers and platforms.

However, they were all blown away by the strong wind set off by the golden dragon.

The golden dragon slowly lowered its height, allowing the dwarves to land on the platform.

As soon as they landed on the platform, countless orcs emerged from the ruins and rushed towards them.

The orcs who were closer to Thorin and others, Gao Yuan left it to them to deal with it themselves.

And he was flapping his wings and hovering around the dwarf watchtower, constantly spraying flames from his mouth.

Near the ruins of the watchtower, as long as those orcs have appeared in the area, the dragon's breath breathed by the golden dragon will follow one after another, burning those orcs to ashes.

The ruins of the watchtower soon fell into a sea of ​​flames.

Even if there is nothing left to burn.

The flag that the orcs had erected on the top of the watchtower had long since been burned to the ground.

Even the ruins that were already dilapidated collapsed again because of the blazing flames of the golden dragon.

After Thorin and others eliminated the last orc, they began to search continuously on the platform.

But there has been no trace of Azog and the others.

The watchtower located at the top of Raven Ridge has also collapsed.

Logically speaking, Azog and others have nowhere to hide.

"There is nothing around here. Azog and the others cannot hide in the collapsed ruins. Maybe they have already escaped after seeing the golden dragon transformed by Mr. Gao Yuan flying up." Qili kept saying at the edge of the platform.

Searching through the ruins.

Thorin looked blankly among the remaining buildings of the watchtower, looking for suspicious signs.

"I don't think so!" It was obvious that he did not agree with Qili's judgment.

He pointed at the orcs down the mountain who were still rushing up the mountain and said, "If Azog wasn't here, those orcs wouldn't be running up the mountain so hard!"

Before Thorin finished speaking, the golden dragon transformed by Gao Yuan flapped its wings and flew towards the orcs who were rushing to support him.

After a rumbling sound, the stone steps leading to Raven Ridge were washed away.

Many orcs rolled down the cliff to the bottom of the mountain;

More orcs were burned to death by the dragon flames of the golden dragon.

"Fili, take your brother and go to the ruins of the watchtower to investigate."

"Keep a low profile and move forward covertly. Be especially careful of those ghosts that Mr. Gao Yuan mentioned. If you find anything, come back and report immediately. Don't confront them head-on. Do you understand?" Before leaving, Solin warned Fei.

Li and others must be careful.

At this moment, Dwalin reported the arrival of new enemies.

"An enemy is coming. They are the Goblins from the Misty Mountains. They must have climbed up from the other side of the cliff."

Thorin patted Fili on the shoulder, then pulled out the beast-biting sword from his waist and said: "There are not many of them, let us deal with them. You go and come back quickly."
