Chapter 238 Even the righteous beatings can’t defeat him

"They also captured peach and mint." Bilbo looked at the trolls walking over angrily, "They want to eat the horse, we have to find a way."

"You have to think of a way." Qili and Fili both focused on him, "You are small enough, they are too stupid and slow to see you."

Bilbo was stunned for a moment and understood what Kili meant, which was to use his smaller body to sneak into the troll camp and release the pony.

"I, no, no, no..."

"It's okay, we'll cover you from behind." Qili said confidently.

"It's better to save your words!" Aaron rolled his eyes, "This is not a good idea."

"Yes." Bilbo nodded with deep understanding, "This is a terrible idea."

"I think it's very appropriate." Kili frowned slightly, "The snitch quietly released the horse, and then we safely retreated to the camp."

"What if Bilbo is discovered? Are you sure the three of us can cover him with our small bodies?"

If we had this ability, we wouldn't be hiding here anymore. Aaron said seriously, "My suggestion is to inform Thorin. Fifteen and a half against three has a better chance of winning." "

"Fifteen and a half? Fourteen and a half, right?" Bilbo thought of the number of people in the expedition, thirteen dwarves, hobbits, human children, and the gray robe wizard Gandalf.

Thirteen dwarves and hobbits count as fourteen, Gandalf, the gray wizard, counts as two, and the human child... counts as half.

But now that Gandalf was gone, they could only muster fourteen and a half strength.

"No, I mean the dwarves count thirteen, I count two, and you count half."

Bilbo twitched the corner of his mouth, "This is... too much to describe."

"Now is not the time to discuss this. I will inform Thorin and you will stay here to guard."

As soon as Aaron turned around, the three of them stopped him.

"what happened again?"

"What if they prey on the pony?" Fili said worriedly, "The trolls don't care if they are raw or not."

As soon as he finished speaking, the heavy voice of the troll reached the ears of the three of them.

"Yesterday I ate mutton, today I eat mutton, and it looks like I will eat mutton tomorrow too."

"Stop complaining, these are not sheep, they are fresh horse meat."

"I've never liked horses. The meat isn't fat enough."

"It's better than a dry, hard farmer, all skin and bones. I'm still picking my teeth now."

...

Aaron let out a long sigh, "You try to delay it as long as possible!

But I must remind you: horses are important, but our lives are more important.

Everything is based on the premise of protecting yourself. Don't confront them head-on. If it doesn't work, just lure them to the camp.

It's better to be evenly matched than to hit a stone with an egg, you understand? "

Fili and Kili looked at each other and nodded in unison.

"That's good, wait until I come back."

Seeing Aaron running away, the two dwarf brothers turned their attention to Bilbo again, "It's up to you, Snitch."

"Hey, hey, you still want me to go, right?" Bilbo was a little unbelievable, "Wasn't what he just said clear enough?"

"But our method can also delay time." Fili said, "You go up first. If the pony is not rescued, we will go up later.

This place is not far from the expedition team's camp. After a while, Thorin and the others will be able to come over to support them. "

"This, really, I..."

"Believe in yourself." Feili patted his shoulder, "You don't want Xiao Tao to be eaten by the troll!"

Bilbo swallowed hard and looked at the reddish-brown pony trembling behind the three trolls. He immediately made up his mind and moved forward slightly.

...

Aaron ran fast through the jungle, but not long after running, he ran into Thorin and other dwarves, who still had their own weapons in their hands.

"Thank God, it seems you have noticed something unusual."

"It's just a meal. If you haven't been back for so long, everyone knows there's something wrong." Thorin got straight to the point, "Where are Fili, Kili, and Bilbo?"

"Follow me." Aaron led the way and told Thorin and others what had just happened.

But when he got closer, his expression immediately darkened.

Because Bilbo was already surrounded by three trolls, and Fili and Kili were struggling to support themselves with swords in the middle.

"His uncle, he didn't listen to what I said.

Thorin, you must listen to me, trolls, no, although trolls move relatively slowly, they are powerful and have rough skin and thick flesh.

I suggest you focus on killing one first, and then think of ways to deal with the other two. If we face three head-on..."

Before he could finish saying "Not a good chance of winning", Thorin roared and rushed over. The group of dwarves behind him were not to be far behind.

Gan!

Damn it! A bunch of brainless fools.

Aaron did not follow them to attack, but hid in the grass and watched the battle.

This may be a little unkind, but this is a great opportunity for him to intuitively understand the fighting power of the indigenous people in this world.

The dwarves were several times smaller in size than the trolls, but with tacit cooperation, they could barely gain the upper hand with more than four times the number.

They moved quickly around the troll, and most of their attacks landed on the troll's legs. The troll screamed in pain frequently under the attacks of swords and hammers.

However, the thickness of their skin is exaggerated. The sword can cut them but not deeply. It can hurt them, but it is difficult to kill them. Even if the sword body pierces their abdomen, it will not cause much damage.

While being beaten, the troll also opened its huge palms, waving its arms like an eagle catching a chicken. Some dwarves were knocked away, but they quickly stood up and quickly joined the battle group.

Some were caught by trolls, but the next moment another dwarf would jump up and chop his arm, forcing him to let him go.

What was even more surprising was that Ori actually took out a slingshot and hit a troll in the eye. Although the hit was very accurate, it was no different from tickling the giant creature.

In the chaotic battlefield, Bilbo avoided the huge palm and picked up a troll's weapon on the ground, a short knife that was not sharp to him, but was extremely huge.

He ran to the rear of the battlefield and cut the rope with his dagger outside the cage where the four ponies were locked.

But as soon as he let the four ponies go, a big hand pulled him back.

"Ah..." After screaming in panic, Bilbo saw clearly who was arresting him, "Aaron, you..."

"Shh!"

Aaron made a silencing gesture, "Don't be so loud."

Bilbo threw the dagger on the ground in displeasure, "Why did you pull me back?"

"Haha!" Aaron sneered, "I'm trying to stop you to die. You're too weak, so you can only hold back."

Bilbo reacted and nodded awkwardly, then looked at the dwarves suppressing the trolls on the battlefield, "Thorin and the others will win, right?"

"It's hard to say!" Aaron looked solemn, "On the surface, the dwarves have the advantage, but they never caused effective damage to the trolls.

The current situation is a fragile balance. The dwarves can win with difficulty if the situation continues, but if one dwarf loses his fighting power, the balance of victory will tilt towards the trolls. "

Hearing this, Bilbo swallowed and looked at the battlefield through the grass.

Dwalin smashed a troll's teeth with a hammer, and Doli gave a troll a thousand-year kill from behind.

"The situation is not bad," murmured Bilbo.

However, the next moment Bombur's scream made him tremble, and the third troll took out a bag from nowhere and put the fattest dwarf in it.

"It collapsed." Aaron looked solemn, "It really collapsed now."

The first dwarf was put into the bag, followed by the second and the third.

The reduction in numbers has made the situation of the dwarves increasingly grim. Unless they give up the three captured dwarves, the entire army will be annihilated sooner or later, but they obviously will not give up on their companions.

Within a few minutes, all the dwarves were packed into bags.

Bilbo was worried, "We have to do something to save them."

"How to save it?" Aaron shrugged, "Rush out and give the troll some extra food?"

"That's not what I meant, I meant..." Bilbo grabbed his hair, feeling helpless.

"Calm down, calm down, the more times like this, the more calm you have to be."

"How can you be so calm?" Bilbo was about to cry, "I originally thought I was just saving a few ponies, but I didn't expect that now thirteen dwarves would be added to the rescue."

"What?" Aaron opened his mouth in shock, "Don't tell me you want to do it again?"

"There is no other way." Bilbo took a deep breath, "Now I can only take risks. I hope I can succeed!"

"Have you ever thought about what would happen if you failed?"

"I'm a snitch, so there's no need to think about this kind of thing." Bilbo was about to walk out quietly when he thought of something. He turned around and looked at Aaron solemnly, "If I fail, you can go find Gandalf. Good luck." If so, he might be able to save us in time.”

"I know, good luck to you.

If you fail, try to delay it as long as possible. You have more brains than the dwarves. Don't let me down. "

Under the cover of darkness, Bilbo walked quietly to the pile of dwarves who were tied tightly.

"Don't talk yet, I'm here to save you."

"Mr. Baggins, are you the only one?" Balin asked in a low voice.

"What else? This kind of thing is only suitable for people of small stature." Bilbo smiled bitterly, "Although I don't want to admit it, Aaron looks much taller than me."

"I asked him to find Gandalf, just in case... we are not without hope at all."

"Then he'd better hurry up." Ouyin said, "Dawn is coming. If nothing else happens, the trolls will eat us before dawn."

Bilbo tried to unbutton the bag, but in vain.

The troll tied the bag very tightly, so that the dwarves only had their heads exposed for breathing, and their hands and feet were tied with hemp rope.

"I should have gone and found a knife," sighed Bilbo.

"Our weapons are piled behind the trolls," Balin said, "but this is dangerous."

"Try it!" Bilbo took a deep breath and carefully sneaked behind the troll.

As soon as he picked up a sword, before he could turn around, a huge pale white handkerchief wrapped him up.

The thinner troll wiped his nose, and then opened his palm. A hobbit washed by his nose lay helplessly on the handkerchief, looking helpless.

who I am? where am I? What should I do?

Three big question marks appeared in Bilbo's mind.

Shi Ke can't be killed and humiliated. Even if he is about to become the food of a troll, he shouldn't be washed with snot!

"It's you again." The thin troll said in surprise, "I thought you ran away!"

"Stop talking nonsense, tie him up first." The troll wearing an apron hit his brother on the head with a spoon, "Dawn is coming soon, let him save it for tomorrow!"

boom!

Bilbo was put into the bag and piled with Thorin and the others.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you."

"Seriously, Mr. Baggins." Kili struggled to free himself from the rope and turned his face away. "I want to curse, but I can't say anything."

"I thought so too," Dwalin said. "That piece of snot..."

"Stop talking about snot, okay?" Bilbo said with tears in his eyes, "Now we can only count on Aaron and Gandalf."

The troll tied Noli, Dwalin, Fili, Bofur, Doli, and Groin to a wooden stake, set up a stand and began to barbecue.

"It's so hot, help, it's so hot..."

"Don't bother cooking them, just crush them into meat paste." The skinny troll said.

"Help..."

"You can sprinkle it with sage and grill it." The troll who turned the grill suggested.

"Is this necessary?"

"Help...untie me sir...go eat a guy as big as you..."

"Don't worry about the seasoning. It's almost dawn. Let's move faster." The troll wearing an apron said slowly: "I don't want to turn into stone."

dawn?

Aaron, who was hiding in the grass, muttered this word, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

So, will it be petrified when exposed to sunlight?

Aaron swung the wand in his hand, but after thinking for a while, he put it back. Magic cannot be used until the critical moment.

Thinking of this, Aaron turned his attention to the large dagger thrown by Bilbo.

The troll's weapons are not generally crude, but now they can only make do with them.

"Wait a minute." Bilbo seemed to have thought of something when he heard the condiments, and said loudly: "You have made a big mistake."

"You can't reason with them, they're all idiots," said Groin on the grill.

"If they are idiots, then who are we?" Noli felt inexplicably that his IQ was insulted. After all, they were being roasted and eaten by three idiots.

"I mean the seasonings." Bilbo stood up and jumped to the grill.

The troll stopped turning the grill and asked curiously: "What happened to the seasoning?"

"Have you ever smelled them? You'd need something sweeter than sage to get in your mouth."

Hearing this, the dwarves looked at him angrily and called him a traitor.

"How do you know how to cook dwarves?" the skinny troll asked suspiciously.

"Shut up," said the apron-wearing troll, "and let the Snitch Hobbit do the talking."

Bilbo smiled like a dog, "The secret to cooking dwarves is..."

"What is it? Tell us the secret."

"Yes...the secret is..." Bilbo thought for a few seconds, "you have to peel it first."

"What, skinning?"

The dwarves cursed loudly, and even Thorin's expression became a little unnatural.

They were not afraid of death, but this way of death exceeded their psychological expectations.

Especially the troll in the apron believed it, and soon came out with a skinning knife.

"I'll skin you first." Bifur cursed.

"I will not forget this account." Dwalin on the grill pointed at Bilbo and shouted angrily. If the conditions did not allow it, he would definitely kill the hobbit.

"You're talking nonsense." The troll continued to turn the grill, "I used to eat it with the skin on, and even swallowed my clothes and shoes."

"He's right." The skinny troll nodded in agreement, "The dwarves are also good when eaten raw, they are fragrant and crispy."

As he spoke, he lifted Pombo up and planned to bite off his head.

"I really can't wait any longer now." Aaron wiped the large dagger in his hand, rushed out of the grass at an extremely fast speed, and jumped on top of the troll in the blink of an eye, aiming at the opponent's Tianling Gai with all his strength. Stab with all his strength.
