Train to Another World.

Chapter 98 Actions from all parties
At this time, Gondor and Rohan were like two powder kegs, and the messenger sent by Li Zhuoguang was like the fuse that detonated the powder kegs.

When the letter was handed to the leaders of the two countries, they were shocked and their scalps numbed by the contents of the letter.

Because of their expertise in mining and forging, the dwarves have always been well-known as the wealthy people of Middle-earth.

After Moria was occupied by the Balrog, the Durin Dwarves, who were supposed to be destitute, simply moved to another place and built a new royal city. In a short period of time, they accumulated unimaginable wealth.

This speed of making money is beyond the reach of both elves and humans. Didn't you see that the evil dragon king doesn't rob elves or humans, but only robs dwarves?

As for the authenticity of the contents of the letter? The dragon head on the top of Gushan City can testify to it.

In recent years, Gondor has been defeated in several battles with Sauron's forces. Even Minas Ithil, one of the twin towers of the Sun and the Moon, which is the jewel of the kingdom, was occupied by the Ringwraiths and renamed Minas Morgul.

The tower of the sun, Minas Anor, was renamed Minas Tirith by the people of Gondor, which means the tower of guard, a city that is always vigilant against the evil of Morgul.

King Eärnur could not contain his anger and led a small group of knights to Minas Morgul. After that, no one heard about them again. The line of Anarion was officially cut off.

From then on, the kingdom was ruled by a hereditary prime minister for a long time.

Although Gondor has suffered heavy losses in recent years, it is still the leader among human kingdoms. A lean camel is still bigger than a horse.

It was precisely because of the successive heavy losses that the kingdom urgently needed to recover. The Prime Minister of Gondor mobilized all the manpower that could be mobilized and began to look for what Li Zhuoguang wanted.

And what about Rohan? He has always been the second in the human empire. Even though Gondor has declined to this point, he is still the second.

Although Rohan and Gondor have always been allies, it is not so comfortable to be the second for a long time. Now there is an opportunity to overtake, what else can I say?

The eldest brother takes turns, and this year it's my turn. I will definitely be the boss this time, even if Ilúvatar comes, it will be useless.

Rohan's scouts set out from the royal city and rushed to various places, from the White Mountains in the south to the Limqing River in the north, and the marshals guarding various places all received the message.

Except for leaving behind necessary guards, the Mark generals led the Gondorian cavalry and marched out in full force, striking fear into the hearts of all the dark forces wherever they passed.

Even during the Battle of Celebrant Field, these Rohirrim had never fought so hard.

For a time, the big moves of the two human kingdoms and the two elven kingdoms caused a turmoil, and all the dark forces in Middle-earth began to shrink.

They began to wonder who leaked the news of Lord Sauron's resurrection.

A few days later, people from Iron Hill arrived, led by the Lord of Iron Hill, the future Dwarf King, the prototype of the King of the Hills, and the most powerful man among the dwarves - Dain Ironfoot.

However, he came with an army this time, and it seemed that he had ill intentions.

Li Zhuoguang stood on the top of the city wall, looking at Ironfoot Dain who was riding a wild boar and leading the way on the Lonely Mountain Plain. He frowned and said, "You are showing off your arrogance and are courting death!"

He observed that the dwarf army that came this time was basically infantry and cavalry, and the only long-range firepower was a few dwarf crossbow carts.

At that moment, Li Zhuoguang put on his iron armor, flew high into the sky, came to the rear of the dwarf army, and began to dive from the side.

With just one dive, Li Zhuoguang used the Crimson Touch to smash the crossbow cart they brought with them into pieces.

Even though the dwarves are skilled craftsmen, in this situation, it is better to build a new one than to repair the ballista.

After destroying all the crossbow carts, Li Zhuoguang did not go back directly.

When Ironfoot Dain was on the march, he rode alone in front of the formation in a very showy manner. Seeing his position so showy, it would be unreasonable not to behead him.

Then Li Zhuoguang flew over the heads of the dwarf army, tied up Dain tightly with the Crimson Touch in front of them, and flew back to the top of Lonely Mountain.

The commander was captured, and the army lost its footing. However, the way that Xing Lie Ru Huo lost its footing was not to flee in all directions, but to rush to the gate of Gushan, waving his weapons and starting to smash the gate.

If Li Zhuoguang had been a little more ruthless at this time, he could have killed a lot of dwarves just by using rolling stones.

Ironfoot Dain was stripped of his weapons and armor, tied with an iron chain, and thrown onto the terrace of the Lonely Mountain. He kept cursing, and the sounds of smashing and destroying were in harmony with the sounds of smashing and destroying below the terrace.

Dain Ironfoot is a hero among the Dwarves. His full name should be Dain II. In the original novel, it is mentioned that Dain I's son Thror was captured and killed by the Orc leader Azog, and his son Thrain vowed revenge. Thrain summoned all the Dwarves who could participate in the war, destroyed all the Orc fortresses in the Misty Mountains, and fought all the way to the gates of Moria, where the Battle of Azanulbizzar began.

The arrival of Dain II and his father Nain, though belated, turned the tide of the battle. Nain's army was well-equipped and quickly routed the Orcs, forcing out Azog and his guards.

Azog took the opportunity to trip Nain and cut off his neck to kill him. After this, Azog tried to retreat to Moria.

But Dain II, then thirty-two years old, pursued him relentlessly and avenged his father's death by chopping off his head with his red axe before Azog retreated through the east gate.

To explain it in plain language: The eight-year-old boy led his troops to attack Poland in anger and killed the mustached boy to avenge his father.

It can't be said that it is not fierce.

Thorin was also present at the battle, but his performance could only be considered mediocre. However, he was awarded the title of "Oakland Shield" for his bravery in battle, but he was far inferior to Dain Ironfoot.

In order to highlight Thorin Oakenshield's extraordinary character, the movie version directly attributed his experience to Dain Ironfoot and even castrated him.

At least Dain Ironfoot avenged his father's death on the spot, while Thorin only cut off one of Azog's hands. In the end, he died together with Azog during the Battle of Five Armies. He can be said to be the younger brother among brothers.

Li Zhuoguang's thoughts began to wander. Aliana didn't understand Dain's curse, and it was fun to see him swinging in the air, so she decided to help her.

Ariana carefully controlled the force and poked Dyne lightly, but because of the excessive force, Dyne was swung violently and was swung like a propeller. The curses in his mouth began to turn into screams.

The dwarves below the city could not see what was happening on the terrace, but when they heard the commander's screams, they thought he was being cruelly tortured, so they banged on the door even harder.

Li Zhuoguang was awakened by Dai Yin's screams. Xiong Facai and the others were also startled by the screams and came to the terrace.

At Ariana's request, Xiong Facai stopped Dain from spinning at high speed.

"Kill me if you dare!" This was the first sentence Dain said after he stopped.

Li Zhuoguang shook his head: "Don't be so indignant. You are the one who led the troops here."

"The Lonely Mountain is the property of the dwarves. We should take it back."

"Why didn't you come when Smaug was here?"

"I can't beat him." Dain was honest.

Li Zhuoguang looked at him in surprise: "Then why do you think you can beat me?"

Dain gritted his teeth and said, "Who knew you could fly!"

Well, in this world, flying soldiers are awesome.

Li Zhuoguang took out the Arkenstone from his storage bag and tossed it in front of Dain: "This is what you want, right?"

Dain's eyes followed the gem up and down, and he said in horror: "Don't throw it away. Gems are easily broken."

Li Zhuoguang stuffed the gem back into the storage bag and repeated the agreement reached with other forces to Dai Yin.

Dain confirmed, "So, if I find what you want, you will give me the Arken Gem."

Li Zhuoguang nodded: "That's right."

Dain thought about it and now it seemed that the plan to defeat this man and steal the gem was obviously not feasible. It would be more realistic to help him find what he wanted.

As for the wealth of Lonely Mountain? Haha, we are all dwarves. Although the Iron Hills is mainly rich in iron ore, which is a little worse than the Lonely Mountain, the history of the Iron Hills is much longer than that of the Lonely Mountain, so even if it is worse, it is not much different.

Dai Yin immediately agreed to Li Zhuoguang's deal.

But Li Zhuoguang said, "Let's put things in perspective. Although the deal has been concluded, you brought troops with you. I can't just let you go."
