Chapter 277 Iron Foot Army, give it a face

Gandalf turned away sadly. He didn't expect that after living for so long, he would be left speechless by a child.

But thinking about the war that would break out at any time and affect the safety of Middle-earth, he still said shamelessly: "Gaius, you are the only one I can count on at this time.

When I first met you, I had a feeling that the peace of Middle-earth might be about to fall on you. "

"Haha!" Aaron sneered and gave him a look of disdain, "I don't have a sense of mission, and I don't want to be a savior, so don't use such words to deal with me."

"How can this be perfunctory?" Gandalf said slightly anxiously.

"Don't make me despise you, Gandalf.

I admit that you are a good person, you have a good sense of the overall situation, and you are worthy of respect.

But good people can make bad people cry when they are cunning. Even if I have some skills, I am just a child. You can't do it alone! "Aaron said speechlessly, and then he counted on his fingers, "King Elrond, Queen Galadriel, Saruman, Radagast, who among them is not stronger than me, can't you find them? "

Gandalf's face twitched slightly, and he forced an embarrassed smile, "Queen Galadriel has exhausted her magic power and is extremely weak now. King Elrond is protecting her, and Saruman will go to stop Sauron's conspiracy at some point. Free, as for Radagast, he went to bring in reinforcements, so... you understand?"

grass!

Aaron just felt like there were hundreds of millions of alpacas rushing past in his heart.

I thought that a tall man would hold up the sky when it fell, but I never expected that the tall man could dodge faster than him.

"I'm sorry, I've done enough and I don't want to take any more risks." Aaron said seriously, "You really found the wrong person.

No matter how powerful I am, I am only one person. Facing an army, I can only be crushed and cannot help. "

"I'm not asking you to face an army directly." Gandalf explained, "There will be a melee, and I need someone who is highly mobile and can move among elves, dwarves, and humans to support the battlefield in time.

Gaius, you are powerful and there is no one better than you. "

Aaron blinked and immediately shook his head and said: "Impossible, who do you think I am? I just want to stay away from the battlefield as much as possible.

Gandalf, I can tell you from the bottom of my heart that I have done my best to choose to stay and face this with you instead of running away with the bucket. "

"Within his power," Gandalf added hastily.

"If you say so..." Aaron paused slightly, "It's not impossible."

Gandalf breathed a sigh of relief, and finally a smile appeared on his face, "Have a good rest!"

After Gandalf left, Aaron leaned against the city wall and fell asleep, focusing on the system's task panel:

[Defeat the orc army;

The reward for completing the task is 2000 magic points. There is no penalty for failure of the task. Does the host accept it? 】

"Accept it and just let nature take its course."

...

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight appeared in the east.

All members of the expedition team followed Thorin onto the city wall, and not far away from them were the golden armored elven troops ready to go, as well as the human troops from Changhu Town.

The Elf King Thranduil rode a huge elk, and next to him was Bard riding a white horse. The two slowly passed through the center of the army and arrived in front of the formation.

Because of the agreement reached last night, Thranduil and Bard restrained their troops and stationed them in front of River Valley City, leaving a large buffer zone between them and Erub.

"Hmph!" Thorin looked at their troops with a sneer, "This is a demonstration."

"No, Thorin, that's not it." Gandalf said a little tiredly, "They are just preparing for the Orc army that may appear at any time."

"Really? Where are they?" Thorin said indifferently, "Not to mention the orc army, I didn't even see a warg.

Although you have reached an agreement with them, their fundamental purpose has not changed at all, which is to seize our family's wealth. "

"Thorin Oakenshield, could you please stop taking gold so seriously."

"Call me king." Thorin said coldly, "I am the king."

Gandalf sighed deeply. He also knew that Thorin's mental state was problematic now. He was becoming more and more arbitrary and could not listen to anyone's words.

But now that there is a powerful enemy, dwarves, elves, and humans must not fight.

"Have the Ironfoots not arrived yet?" asked Bilbo.

As soon as he finished speaking, a black raven flew over and stopped on the city wall.

"Here we come." Thorin said with a proud smile.

The sound of neat footsteps came from the distant hillside, and a large number of dwarf legions came slowly, led by King Dane riding a ferocious wild boar.

The Iron Foot Army is the elite of the dwarves, and its combat power and numbers are not inferior to those of the elves and humans.

A dozen dwarves on the city wall cheered loudly, and their morale was boosted by the arrival of the famous Iron Foot Army.

"Is this the dwarf king of the Iron Hills?" Bilbo asked, "It doesn't look like he's very happy."

"Dane, Thorin's cousin," Gandalf said. "He is even more... irrational than Thorin."

"I'm more curious about why he rides a wild boar?" Aaron asked puzzledly, "Isn't this somewhat inconsistent with the king's status?"

"Dain doesn't care about that." Thorin laughed, "He likes the impact of wild boars. Almost no one can stop their melee charge, which is much stronger than horses."

"It doesn't matter, but Thorin, don't forget what you promised us."

"I know, I know." Thorin waved his hand, "I will ask him to restrain himself as much as possible, but if the elves and humans don't know what's good for them and refuse to withdraw within two days, then there's nothing we can do."

The Ironfoot Army stopped in front of the Valley City, confronting the elves and humans at a distance of 100 meters.

Dain looked at Thranduil, and the mockery on his face was not concealed at all, "Good morning, how are you all?

If you are willing to give me a little time, I have a small suggestion, can you guys...get out of here."

"Get out, get out now." Dain roared, making the people of the Long Lake, whose number was less than one-tenth of the elves, feel a little fear.

"Don't get excited, King Dain." Gandalf shouted.

Dain turned his head and looked at the gray-robed wizard on the wall, "Gandalf the Gray.

Let these beggars go, or I will make them bleed into rivers."

"Dwarves, there is no need for humans and elves to fight. The orc army is heading here. Keep your people calm."

"I can't keep calm in front of elves." Dain didn't give any face at all, pointing the hammer in his hand at Thranduil, "Especially the treacherous woodland elf, the only thing he wants to do is to make my people suffer.

If he dares to obstruct us, I will twist his head off, and I don't know if he dares to smile again."

Thranduil heard the words, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He raised his hand, and all the archers of the elven army drew their bows and arrows, aiming at the Ironfoot Army opposite.

"Stop, don't be impulsive." Aaron shouted loudly, and then moved to the front of the two armies, "King Thranduil, don't forget what we said yesterday." "I really want to resolve the dispute peacefully." Thranduil said lightly, "But you have seen Dain's attitude. He is a man who pushes the issue. It is better to use swords to reason." "The overall situation is important. Think about the white gem, Your Majesty." Aaron reminded. He especially understood Thranduil's current mood. If it were him, he would not be able to bear it. But now you must restrain yourself no matter what. It is a pleasure for you to shoot this round of arrows, but a war is really inevitable. Thranduil took a deep breath, suppressed his unhappiness, and restored the original formation of the elf troops. "Who are you?" Dain asked curiously, "Which wizard? It can't be the apprentice of Gandalf the Grey!" Hearing this, Gandalf smiled awkwardly. If he had such an apprentice, he would wake up with a smile in his dreams. "Don't get me wrong." Aaron shook his head and said, "I dare not be his apprentice, otherwise I probably won't have a good day, and I have to support him in his old age."

Dane was stunned for a moment, thinking of Gandalf's shabby gray robe, and nodded for some reason.

Gandalf has a high reputation, but he is not doing well. Taking another apprentice will definitely make his living standard worse.

"Then get out of the way, or I will kill you too." Dane said, and then looked at the Ironfoot Army behind him, "Get ready, let these bastards taste our power, and set up an offensive formation."

"Wait." Aaron said immediately, and then took out a black key, "I want you to restrain your army, just as a favor to it."

"Key? Why is it in your hand?" Dane asked with wide eyes.

"I gave it to him, Dane." Thorin on the wall explained, "Aaron Gaius is the most sincere friend of the dwarves, you can't hurt him."

"Thorin." Dane was a little puzzled, "The key is a token passed down by the Turin family."

"It has completed its mission, and now it only represents the friendship of the dwarves."

Dane nodded thoughtfully, looking at Aaron with a little more respect.

"Everyone, set up an attack formation and defeat them."

"Wait, why do you still want to fight?"

"Everyone pay attention." Dane gave him a reassuring look and added: "Avoid the dwarf's guests when attacking."

Aaron was confused, how could he play like this?

Watching the Ironfoot Army set up a formation, Aaron quickly came back to his senses and set his eyes on Thorin.

Thorin hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Dain, don't rush to do it."

"Why?" Dane asked puzzledly, "Thorin, when did you become afraid of the elves?"

"You know me, I have never been afraid of them." Thorin said in a deep voice, "I can not give the elves a bit of face, but I will give my friends the necessary respect.

So I decided to give them a few days to determine whether there will be an orc attack. If not, it will not be too late to fight again."
