save the bachelors

Chapter 5045 [Reject your conditions]

"Negotiate a deal with me?" Thorin was stunned.

"I will let you go on the condition that you return my things to me. It's a gift in return." Thranduil explained, "I promise you, in the name of the king!"

It turned out that Thranduil was going to make the most exquisite necklace in the world for his wife, but he was worried that the elves' craftsmanship was not good enough, so he asked the dwarves of Lonely Mountain to do it for him.

This necklace uses the finest gold, silver and gemstones, one of which is the most precious Lasgaran white gemstone. Coupled with the excellent craftsmanship of the dwarf craftsmen, it has become a perfect work of art.

But when the dwarves saw that the necklace was so perfect, their greed arose again, and they offered Thranduil an unimaginably high price as a reward.

He took the necklace for himself and refused to return it, claiming that Thranduil refused to pay him, which further deepened the conflict between the elves and dwarves.

Later, Thranduil's wife died, which made him want to take back the necklace as a memorial to his deceased wife. But the dwarf king Thror refused to return it.

This led to the split between the Elf Kingdom and the Dwarf Kingdom, and also made the Elf King Thranduil hate the Dwarf King Thror to the core.

……

"But I do not trust you, the 'great' Elf King, Thranduil, to keep your promise." Thorin refused, "Until the end of the world!"

"You!" Thranduil was suddenly a little angry.

"You have no faith!" Thorin shouted before he could get angry. "I saw you betray your allies. We were starving and homeless, and we sought your help, but you turned away!
It is you who ignored the suffering of my people and let them be consumed by destruction! May you die in flames!"

When the Lonely Mountain Erebor was attacked by the evil dragon Smaug, Thranduil led his army to the foot of the mountain, but was ultimately faced with the dwarves' cries for help and howlings.

Thranduil did not organize the elven army to attack, but turned his horse back to the kingdom of Mirkwood. Therefore, Thorin hated Thranduil for not doing anything.

Because although the dwarves and elves had a feud over the Silmarils, they were still allies fighting side by side in the Second Age.

It can be said that the previous friction was entirely an internal conflict among the people. Now facing the vicious, cruel, evil and dark dragon Smaug, they should have formed an alliance again and fought side by side.

But the elves betrayed their allies, a backstabbing move that was even more despicable.

"Don't mention dragon flame to me, you don't understand anything at all." After hearing Thorin's words, Thranduil could no longer maintain his original calm and superior image, and suddenly became hysterical.

Moreover, his handsome face had undergone a terrible change. An ugly and horrible scar appeared on one side of his face, as if it had been burned by some kind of flame.

The dwarves were startled at the terrible change that came over his face.

"I know its destructive power. I have faced the dragon of the north before," Thranduil roared. "I warned your grandfather of the consequences of his greed, but he would not listen."

On the one hand, the greed of the dwarves is innate. As the creation of Aulë, the god of craftsmen, they are naturally obsessed with minerals and gems, and they would like to dig through the center of the earth to find treasures.

On the one hand, they were bewitched by the Seven Rings of the Dwarves. Although the Seven Rings given to the Dwarves by Sauron failed to lead them into darkness, they magnified the greed in their hearts, making them even more greedy and stubborn.

As a result, the dwarves accumulated a huge amount of wealth due to their greed, and this wealth also attracted the attention of the evil dragon, because the evil dragon also likes treasure very much.

So in Thranduil's view, the capture of Erebor by the evil dragon Smaug was entirely due to the dwarves' excessive greed, which was their own fault.

……

"If you are unwilling to accept my suggestion, then I can only 'invite' you to come to my kingdom, calm down and reflect, until you agree." Thranduil said again.

"Are you threatening me?! We dwarves are not afraid of threats!" Thorin shouted immediately, "Even if we fight to the death, we will never surrender~"

"That's right, don't try to coerce us with force, we dwarves would rather die than surrender!" "Come on, elf scum, we are not afraid of you!"

"Taste my axe!"

The dwarves shouted loudly, and no one would surrender.

Bilbo was very nervous, worried that a war was about to break out.

You know, the elves have a large army with shining helmets and armor, but they only have thirteen people, which is really not enough.

Therefore, he involuntarily reached into his pocket, where was placed the real treasure he had found in the Orc Town, a golden ring.

After putting it on, he can become invisible and no one can see him, which naturally greatly increases his chances of survival.

"In that case, don't blame me for being rude~" Thranduil shouted, and the elven army immediately formed a battle formation.

"Everyone get ready~" Thorin shouted immediately.

Everyone raised their weapons, and Xiang Nan also raised his protective shield.

"..." Thranduil was stunned when he saw this, but still ordered an attack.

Holding shields in their left hands and guns in their right hands, the elves came to the protective shield and started fighting.

Xiang Nan waved his hand, and dozens of ropes appeared out of thin air, tying up some elves, but there were too many elves, and soon other elves rushed up again.

Xiang Nan waved his hand again and confiscated some of the elves' weapons, but the other elves filled the holes again.

"Kili, use your fire magic," Thorin shouted.

He knew how powerful Xiang Nan's fire magic was. As long as one was ignited, it would spread to countless others. It was perfect for dealing with the army of elves.

"That can only be used against evil creatures." Xiang Nan explained, "It is ineffective against elves."

As he said this, he pretended to gesture and threw out a fireball. Sure enough, the fireball went out when it hit the elf and couldn't burn at all.

In fact, the Hellfire is also effective against elves. As long as they have evil thoughts in their hearts, they will be burned by the Hellfire. Elves are not pure and flawless, they are just ordinary creatures, they also have seven emotions and six desires, so they will naturally be burned by the Hellfire.

It’s just that Xiang Nan didn’t want to kill the elves, so as to avoid deteriorating relations and completely breaking off relations, so he pretended that the hellfire was ineffective against them.

Thorin didn't understand magic, so naturally he didn't know the inside story.

"Aren't they evil creatures? In my opinion, they are more evil than orcs." Thorin said angrily when he saw this.

"My protective shield can't hold up anymore~" At this moment, Xiang Nan shouted.

Then the protective shield exploded with a bang, and hundreds of gun tips were pressed against the dwarves' throats.

Seeing this, the dwarves were forced to drop their weapons.

After all, although they would rather die than surrender, no one would be willing to die if they could avoid death.
