Chapter 5064 5067 [Follow the King]

"Thorin, they are in a tough battle and they need our help." At this time, Dwalin found Thorin sitting on the throne.

"This mountain is full of caves. We should build fortifications and strengthen the defense." Thorin said to Dwalin, "Yes, move the treasures in the treasury to these caves. This way, we can ensure that nothing goes wrong."

"Didn't you hear what I said? Dain and his men are in a tough battle now. They need us, especially you." Dwalin said again, "You are the King under the Mountain. They are fighting for you."

"It is inevitable that there will be casualties in war." Thorin was completely indifferent, "But these treasures cannot be exchanged for a few lives. It is worth sacrificing more lives for them."

"Did you listen to what you said?" Dwalin said in shock. He never thought that in Thorin's eyes, treasure was more important than the lives of his compatriots. "You sit in this vast hall, wearing an exquisite crown on your head, but you have become so despicable."

"Don't talk to me like that. I am your king, not a poor dwarf anymore," Thorin shouted. "I was, I am, and I will be."

After being expelled from Erebor by Smaug, Thorin had to make a living by forging iron. He also worked as a bodyguard for a caravan and a vendor of farm tools. He was very poor and did not look like a prince at all.

But now it was different, he had taken back Erebor and had hundreds of millions of wealth. He was no longer the blacksmith, bodyguard and peddler who was at the mercy of others, but the real king under the mountain.

"I have always treated you as my king, but you are different now." Dwalin said disappointedly, "You used to know what a king should be like, but now you are completely different, you have become something you can't even imagine."

"Shut up and don't talk to me like that, or I'll kill you!" Thorin scolded.

When Duvalin heard him say this, he turned away in disappointment.

……

"I don't want to hide behind a stone wall and watch others bleed for us. This is not our family's tradition." Fili said loudly, "I'm ready to fight my way out. Who will join me?!"

"Me!", "Me!", "Me!", "Even though I am old, I will fight with you~"

Bofur, Gloin, Dwalin, Bumpo, Dori, Oin, Balin and others all said in unison.

"And me!" At this moment, a voice sounded in the city of Erebor. It was Thorin.

He had taken off his crown and picked up his sword again.

Everyone was shocked and delighted to see him like this.

It turned out that Thorin had just gone to the treasure house, and after seeing so much gold and silver treasures, he did not feel the joy he had before, but instead felt great fear and sorrow.

Xiang Nan, Gandalf, Dwalin... everyone's advice was echoing in his heart. He seemed to see this golden mountain turning into a dragon that was going to devour him.

He finally realized that the gold was not as lovely as he had imagined, and it was not worth it for him to break his promise and gain wealth for these treasures, and to lose his prestige and be deserted by his friends and relatives.

So he finally took off his crown, put on armor, picked up his sword, and decided to fight for himself and regain his original honor.

"We are the sons of Durin, and Durin people never fear a fight." Thorin looked at the crowd and said, "I have no right to ask you to pay any more, but are you willing to follow me and fight one last time?"

"Of course!" the eleven dwarves said in unison.

……

Xiang Nan and Gandalf followed the elves, humans and dwarves to fight against the orcs.

He prioritized dealing with those ogres who had thick skin and great strength.

These guys were also armed by the orcs, wearing heavy armor and carrying huge hammers, swords, flails and other weapons.

Because they are huge and powerful, they have extremely high combat effectiveness, and often sweep away a large area with one blow, causing great damage to the allied forces. Therefore, Xiang Nan gave priority to solving these threats.

At this moment, Thorin led the dwarves out of Erebor, "For the glory of Durin's family, charge!"

"Follow the king, follow the king!" the dwarves shouted in unison.

After the dwarves, elves, and humans were caught in a bitter battle, they were almost unable to hold on due to heavy casualties.

Hearing these words and seeing Thorin leading the dwarves to charge into the enemy camp, their morale suddenly rose. They followed Thorin and started to fight and charge fiercely. After a charge, they defeated the Orc army and caused them to flee.

The allied forces took advantage of the situation and launched a fierce charge, finally killing all the orcs.

"Victory, victory, we won!" Seeing the orcs defeated, the elves, dwarves, and humans were all excited.

"It's not time to be happy yet, because the orc army from Mount Gundabad is coming from Raven Hill in the north." At this time, the Elf Prince Legolas and the Silvan Elf Tauriel suddenly rushed to the battlefield and told everyone the bad news.

"What, there is also an army of orcs?" Everyone was stunned.

"Yes, the one leading the army is Bolg, son of Azog the Blasphemer." Legolas explained, "They have already gathered a huge army at Mount Gundabad, and are now heading from the direction of Raven Hill."

"Gather, regroup!" Thranduil ordered immediately.

"Get ready, everyone get ready~" Bard also quickly summoned the human soldiers.

"Dwarves, line up~" Thorin and Dain also hurriedly organized.

……

When the coalition forces reorganized, they saw a large number of orc troops coming again from the direction of Raven Ridge in the north.

At this moment, people were extremely grateful that they had just defeated the orc army. Otherwise, they would have been attacked from both sides, and the casualties would have been much more severe.

But even so, the humans, elves, and dwarves had suffered heavy casualties and were exhausted after the great battle, so facing this huge force of orcs, everyone felt a little powerless.

At this time, the women, children, and old people in the valley town took up weapons, including hammers, shovels, sticks, rakes, and harpoons. "Our men are facing threats now. We should live and die with them. Take up weapons!"

"Come along, sister, don't be afraid." At this time, a woman looked at a woman wearing a hood and a skirt in the corner and said.

"Oh, please spare me, a poor old woman." The woman covered her face and spoke in a shrill voice.

"Don't be afraid, all mortals will die one day." The woman comforted her and wanted to continue to pull her into the battle.

"Oh, get out of my way." The woman shouted excitedly in a hoarse voice.

"It's you, Alfred~" When the woman heard the voice, she pulled off his hood and saw that under the hood was indeed the flatterer Alfred.

Because he was timid, he did not dare to go to the battlefield with the men, but hid in the city disguised as a woman.

"You are such a coward." The woman said contemptuously.

"Coward?! Not all men dare to wear this skirt." Alfred was not ashamed but proud.

The woman spat at him with disdain, then took the elderly and children to the battlefield.
