Balin was very confused as to what happened in Rivendell that night. They had already gotten along very happily with the elves there, at least in his opinion it was very pleasant.

But just when everything seemed to be going well, Thorin suddenly informed everyone to pack their luggage and left Rivendell overnight.

Even Gandalf was abandoned by Thorin.

Gandalf has provided a lot of help to the expedition along the way. He found a powerful ranger and a snitch for them.

The plans he made for the expedition have always been proven correct.

His plan helped the dwarves escape the pursuit of the orcs, and also unlocked the secrets hidden on the Lonely Mountain map for them.

Gandalf is like the brains of this team. All the plans of the expedition were proposed by him. But look at it now, since they left Rivendell, there is no Gandalf in the team. They are like a

A headless fly, just bumping around everywhere.

Balin wanted to continue asking, but was interrupted by Ge Luoyin.

He found a pile of dry branches from nowhere.

"Look what I found here, we can make a fire to keep warm."

Thorin glanced at Balin who was hesitant to speak, then turned and left.

"We can't light a fire here. There may be a group of damn orcs behind us, and they won't give up easily."

Thorin began to give instructions on various matters. He pointed at Bofur and said: "Bofur, you will be the first to keep vigil tonight..."

Gao Yuan stood aside and heard the conversation between Thorin and Balin clearly. Unlike Balin, he knew what happened in Rivendell that night. He understood Thorin's mood at the moment very well, but this did not mean that he

Agreeing with Thorin's approach and abandoning Gandalf is not a wise choice.

The plot in the movie also proves this point. As long as Gandalf is lost in this team, it will become a mess.

Bilbo spread a blanket on the ground for the weak Gao Yuan. Everyone could see how much Gao Yuan had taken care of him along the way. Gao Yuan saved his life more than once today.

If it hadn't been for Gao Yuan, he would have fallen into the abyss and been shattered into pieces.

Bilbo took out some dried meat from his backpack and handed it to Gao Yuan, who was sitting on the ground resting.

Gao Yuan said thank you listlessly to Bilbo.

"Bilbo, don't take what Thorin said to you just now to heart."

"You know, his mouth has always been so mean." Gao Yuan suddenly seemed to remember something, and he whispered to Bilbo.

He remembered that in the original plot, after being ridiculed by Thorin, Bilbo had the idea of ​​returning to Rivendell.

So he took advantage of the fact that everyone was asleep in the middle of the night, packed his packages and wanted to leave quietly. Although he still failed to leave in the end, but now that the plot has been changed so much by him, who can say for sure whether he will leave early.

.

Bilbo smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, Mr. Gao Yuan, I don't take it to heart. I think I'm somewhat used to it now."

"Some things, when I don't care about them, are no longer important to me."

Gao Yuan nodded happily.

His mental state at this time was indeed not very good and he was a little drowsy.

But Gao Yuan, who was familiar with the plot, knew that he couldn't sleep yet.

In fact, the cave they are currently resting in is a trap set by the Goblins living in the Orc Town in the Misty Mountains. The huge cave at the feet of the expedition team is the Orc Town, and there are countless Goblins living in it.

, and a Goblin King.

(In the original work, Orcs and Goblins are the same species, but Orcs are more powerful, so this place is called Orc Town.)

Although Gao Yuan was familiar with the plot, he did not intend to tell the members of the expedition team what he knew about the Orc Kingdom.

First, he couldn't explain to them why he knew all this.

Secondly, this incident was an important turning point in the relationship between Bilbo, Gandalf and Thorin. After this incident, the members of the expedition team were truly united and no longer suspected each other.

Finally, if Bilbo had not fallen into a trap with the dwarves, he would not have met Gollum living here at the bottom of the cave in Orc Town.

If Bilbo didn't meet Gollum, then it would be impossible for him to obtain the Supreme Lord of the Rings from Gollum.

This will affect the subsequent development of the entire Middle-earth story and push the plot into an unpredictable abyss.

Gao Yuan leaned on the rock wall and after eating the food Bilbo handed him, he felt that his energy was much better, at least he would not be sleepy all the time.

After looking at the system panel, his mental energy value is slowly recovering, and I believe it will not take long to fully recover.

In order to restore his mental energy as quickly as possible, Gao Yuan began to close his eyes and rest.

The storm outside the cave continued, and strong winds blew into the cave from the entrance, making strange noises.

The sky outside the cave gradually darkened, becoming darker than before the expedition team hid in the cave.

From time to time, a bolt of lightning flashes across the sky, illuminating the northern misty mountains shrouded in darkness.

Little did they know, it was in a valley that the expedition passed by before going up the mountain.

A white warg nearly four meters in length was sniffing its nostrils and sniffing the ground hard, looking for the scent left by the dwarves who passed here not long ago.

This warg is the king of wolves among Gundaba wargs, and its size is much larger than ordinary wargs.

It smelled the last bit of breath left by the dwarves, and bared its teeth and let out a roar from its mouth, as if telling its owner which direction the dwarves were heading.

Riding on this warg was a half-orc with pale skin and nearly three meters tall. His figure was much taller than that of ordinary half-orcs. His pale face was covered with countless ferocious scars. Among them were countless ferocious scars.

The eyeball of one eye has disappeared, leaving only a deep eye socket. The two pointed ears on the head make people think of the relationship between the elves and them; one of his palms was chopped off,

It was replaced by a sharp blade.

This pale orc was none other than the orc leader Azog the Blasphemer who chased Gao Yuan in the dark jungle and had one of his eyes blown out.

"The breath disappeared here." The heavy rain dispersed a lot of the scent of the expedition team. If the Warg King's sense of smell was not more sensitive than that of other wargs, I might not be able to smell the scent left by the expedition team.

"The dwarves want to cross this mountain range, and their goal is the high pass."

"Porg, tell those guys in the Misty Mountains that I only want Thorin's head and double the previous bounty." Azog ordered his son.

"This time I want to see the royal bloodline of the Turin dwarves completely cut off."

Azog looked at the mountains not far away, which were covered by thick dark clouds, and countless lightnings were intertwined in the clouds.

"They can't go far in this kind of weather. They must still be in the misty mountains and have not reached the high pass."

The rain in the Misty Mountains became heavier and heavier, and thick dark clouds formed into one, shrouding hundreds of kilometers of Misty Mountains, and the entire mountain range was plunged into endless darkness.

"Find them for me and kill them!"

Azog raised the mace in his hand high and pointed in the direction of the mountain range where the expedition team was located. He slapped the warg under him suddenly, and the white warg immediately rushed out.
