"Dui'er, these Orcs are obviously aware of your methods and they are well prepared!" Gandalf reminded.

Dui nodded silently, also seeing the problem.

"Gandalf, let's go ashore first. I need to get some information out of these Orcs!"

Gandalf agreed, and quickly brought the canoe closer to the shore.

"Shoot! Shoot them to death! (Black language)"

The Orcs attempted to prevent the two from landing with a massive attack.

But the next second, the bows and arrows in their hands turned into poisonous snakes, baring their fangs and quickly biting their necks or arms.

The Orcs were frightened by this sudden change and instinctively threw away their bows and arrows and fell into a panic.

The venomous snake fell to the ground and turned back into its original weapon, as if it was just an illusion.

But before they had a chance to retrieve their weapons, Dui's attack followed.

"Shattered into pieces, shattered into pieces, exploded with thunder..."

Dui jumped from the canoe to the river bank and cast several spells in succession.

Accompanied by a huge explosion and shattering sound, the Orcs were instantly killed or injured.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the leader of the Oak team immediately turned around and tried to run, but was hit by a petrification spell from Dui and froze in place.

After dealing with all the other Orcs, Dui came to the petrified Orc leader.

He waved his hand to remove the petrification spell from him.

Leader Oak quickly pulled out a dagger and attacked Dui.

With a bang, Leader Oak flew backwards instantly and hit a huge rock behind him.

"Want to kill me?" Dui sneered and walked towards Oak.

Seeing the dagger in his hand that exuded the aura of black magic, he raised his eyebrows.

"It seems you're well prepared. Besides Morgul's arrows, you also have a black magic dagger. Are they all meant to deal with me?"

As he spoke, he waved his wand, and the arm holding the dagger was cut off in an instant.

Leader Oak let out a scream, still staring at Dui fiercely.

Dui's eyes were hurt by Oak's ugly and hideous face. He raised his finger slightly, and the black magic dagger floated out of Oak's broken arm and quickly pressed against the neck of the Oak leader.

"Tell me, after Azog's death, who was your leader? Why did you continue to hunt the dwarves?"

Dui threatened.

"As long as you tell me, I will let you go."

Leader Oak was not threatened at all. Instead, he showed a ferocious and malicious smile and said smugly:

"Wizard, you won't even know! Just wait, my master has already made preparations. Both you and those dwarves will be burned to death in the flames!"

Gandalf came over and heard what the Orc leader said. He was immediately furious and used his staff to push the Orc heavily against the rock wall.

"Tell me the secrets you know, Oak, or I will have you cleansed by the flames of light now!"

The huge blow caused the Oak leader to feel pain, but his face showed even more confidence.

"Haha, you won't get any news from me! Our time has returned. The flames of war will cover the earth, and we will eventually win!"

Gandalf became even more furious and struck again with his staff.

Dewi stopped Gandalf and continued to ask, "Gandalf, since he is unwilling to speak, let's try another way."

As he spoke, he pointed his wand at the Oak leader, concentrating his attention and gathering the greatest malice.

"The soul is out of body!"

Feeling the strong aura of dark magic emanating from the Due's spell, Gandalf frowned slightly and looked at him with some concern.

But he didn't say much, he believed Dui knew what was going on.

So the main focus was on Oak.

Dewi cast the Imperius Curse, one of the three unforgivable curses.

The Imperius Curse does not have direct killing power. It cannot kill people directly like the Killing Curse, nor can it torture people like the Cruciatus Curse.

But the most dangerous thing about it is that it can control the thoughts and behaviors of others, turning them into puppets of the caster. Even if they are once the most beloved family members or friends, they can be killed without hesitation.

It can be said that the Imperius Curse affects and controls a person's soul, making him no longer himself.

More importantly, there was no way to break the Imperius Curse.

To escape the control of the Imperius Curse, one must have an extremely strong will to break through the influence of the Imperius Curse;

Or you can directly kill the caster of the curse, so that the Imperius Curse he casts will automatically become ineffective.

Apart from this, it is almost impossible to break the control of the Imperius Curse using other magic.

Seeing that the Oak leader's eyes became empty, Dui immediately asked:

"Who is your new leader?"

Leader Oak looked a little struggling, but he regained his composure the next second.

"It's Bolg, son of Azog. He's our new king."

Chapter 93 Changhu Town

Hearing this answer, Gandalf and Dewi looked at each other.

Very surprised by this news.

They didn't expect that not long after Azog's death, his son Bolger would so quickly conquer the Orc forces and inherit his position.

After all, the orc throne is not inherited by the son after the father's death, but is determined by strength.

Borg was able to inherit Azog's position in such a short time.

It only shows that his strength is not weaker than Azog.

Dui continued to ask, "Did Borg ask you to hunt us? Is it to avenge Azog?"

The Oak leader answered every question: "Part of the reason is that Bolg was very angry about Azog's death. He issued a reward for the head of Thorin Oakenshield and the black wizard Duell."

Gandalf frowned upon hearing this and asked in confusion, "Duel killed Azog, so it's understandable that he's offered a bounty. But why is Bolger still pursuing Thorin Oakenshield?"

Orc Leader: "Because Bolg wants to prevent Thorin Oakenshield from becoming King Under the Mountain. He wants to take the Lonely Mountain and then go deep into the northern kingdom of Angmar, thus bypassing the Misty Mountains and marching straight into the west."

Gandalf looked even more puzzled.

"Why does Bolger think he can take the Lonely Mountain? Doesn't he know there's a dragon living there?"

"Or... has he already reached a cooperation with the dragon?"

Gandalf uttered a more serious suspicion.

Oak nodded.

"Yes, the dragon of the Lonely Mountain has awakened, and Bolger has reached a cooperation with him. As long as we kill Thorin Oakenshield and prevent the dwarves from retaking the Lonely Mountain, the dragon will allow us to enter the north and reclaim the Kingdom of Angmar."

Gandalf was shocked when he heard this, and his expression was solemn.

"No, we have to stop Thorin and the others!"

"The dragon has awakened. If Thorin and the others go to Lonely Mountain, they will be courting death!"

Dui didn't expect such an outcome.

He clearly remembered that the dragon Smaug did not cooperate with the orcs.

This time, because of Azog's death, such a big change happened.

The orcs and dragons actually joined forces in advance!

Seeing that Gandalf was eager to stop Thorin and others from going to Lonely Mountain, Dewi was not optimistic about this.

After all, Thorin has a very stubborn character. Retaking the Lonely Mountain has become Thorin's obsession, even his inner demon. Even if he knows that the dragon of the Lonely Mountain has awakened, he will definitely choose to continue taking risks without hesitation.

"Gandalf, there is still some time until Durin's Day. There is enough time. We can discuss this matter when we meet up with Thorin and the others in Lake-town."

Dui said, then looked at the Orc leader in front of him who was under the Imperius Curse.

"For now, let's deal with this Oak problem first."

Then the two continued to ask questions, and only stopped when they had asked almost everything that Captain Oak knew.

"Okay, I have no more questions. Doyle, do you have any other questions? If not, then we will take care of him and leave for Long Lake Town immediately."

Gandalf drew his smiting sword and asked Dewi.

Dewi stopped Gandalf from killing the Orc, shook his head, and smiled slyly.

"Gandalf, don't kill him yet. He is still useful."

"Use value?" Gandalf looked at him doubtfully.

"He's now under my Imperius Curse and will only obey my orders," Dui explained with a smile. "We'll let him go and let him return to the Orcs. He'll keep us informed of any Orc news."

"At a critical moment, you can even take advantage of Borg's unpreparedness and stab him directly."

Gandalf's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he was still a little worried.

"Is there any chance he could break free? If Borg finds out, it might make him wary and cause more trouble!"

Dui still has some confidence in his magic.

"The Imperius Curse has no remedy. Unless he has a strong will and can break free from its control, or encounters a powerful magician like Sauron who can forcefully break the Imperius Curse I cast. Otherwise, it cannot be undone, and it will be difficult for others to detect."

"That's good." Gandalf put away his sword with confidence.

Then they released the Oak leader and ordered him to return to Bolg to lurk secretly and pass on messages.

Of course, if there is a chance, it would be even better if we could kill Borg directly!

However, the possibility of this happening is very small, and they don't hold out much hope.

After letting the Orc leader go, Duee and Gandalf continued to take the small wooden boat to Long Lake Town.

Passing through the mist in the lake, the two rowed forward following the direction of the guiding spell.
