The trail leads to a rock cave at the end.
Thorin Oakenshield walked into the cave first with the Elf Sword on his back and a battle ax in his hand.
The cave is quite spacious, there is no debris on the ground, and it looks quite clean.
At this time, the dwarves who were following him came in.
Thorin Oakenshield ordered: "It looks very safe. Search around. The caves usually have owners."
As soon as the words fell, the dwarves behind him immediately scattered and started searching.
At this time, Morgan walked in with a longbow quiver and his own package on his back, and an elf sword in his hand.
According to the plot in his memory, he knew that this cave was used by goblins in the underground kingdom to hunt.
Moreover, just under everyone's feet, there is an underground goblin kingdom.
Although he knew this, Morgan had no intention of telling anyone else.
Not only because he couldn't explain to others why he was aware of it.
What's more, the encounter with this Goblin Kingdom was an important turning point for the entire expedition.
Bilbo Baggins, who was scolded by Thorin Oakenshield for doing nothing and unable to adapt, will get the Lord of the Rings in this incident.
The Supreme Lord of the Rings that will affect the situation of the entire Middle-earth world in the future.
From the very beginning when Morgan knew he came to Middle-earth, he tried hard to get the Supreme Lord of the Rings.
Now, the best time to buy is about to come, and Morgan is eyeing it.
After a while, the dwarves who searched the cave came back.
"There's nothing here."
"Same here, I didn't see anything."
"Same, nothing, it's too clean here..."
At this time, the last search team member, the dwarf Groin, came back with a pile of dead wood in his arms, threw it on the ground, and said, "I found some dry firewood, let's make a fire."
"This little firewood isn't enough, I'll go look for it again..."
The people who had just been caught in a thunderstorm and survived a battle with several terrifying towering stone giants had this in mind.
Just as he was about to start lighting the fire and prepare to collect more firewood, he came back.
Thorin Oakenshield suddenly said: "No, we can't light a fire here."
"Let's all rest on the spot..."
"Bahrain, take out the dried meat and wine. Let's eat and rest. We'll set off at dawn tomorrow."
Thorin Oakenshield said as he found a clean and suitable place and was about to sit down.
Balin, the white-bearded dwarf, immediately stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "We should wait for Gandalf to join us in the mountains. This is the agreed upon plan."
“Plans change!”
Thorin Oakenshield shook his head as he spoke, and then continued to give instructions: "Bofur, you are the first to keep vigil, Bombur, you are the second..."
After giving the instructions, Thorin Oakenshield sat down directly against the stone wall behind him.
Balin looked at Thorin Oakenshield and hesitated several times.
Finally, Bahrain still did not speak.
He knew Thorin didn't like elves, and neither did he.
Since being half-fooled and half-forced by Gandalf, he came to Rivendell.
Thorin didn't trust Gandalf that much, at least not at first.
But Gandalf the Wizard's plan has been spot on so far.
The team can continue on the road because of Gandalf's plan.
From Bahrain's point of view, at least in plan.
Thorin should give Gandalf a little more trust.
It's just that Thorin is the king of all the Turin dwarves.
Regarding Thorin's decision, as long as it is not an obvious mistake or something that will lead to serious consequences.
Bahrain will not question or object to Sorin's decision.
Like now.
Shaking his head, Balin took the package handed by the dwarf and began to distribute dry food and wine to everyone.
While the expedition team was resting and eating and drinking in the underground goblin hunting cave.
It's still raining heavily outside.
"Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa..."
"Rumble..."
The sky was dark and gloomy.
The thunder in the sky is still booming.
"Pa bang bang..."
The dazzling electric light exploded and lit up the dark sky.
The original three majestic and gigantic stone giants have disappeared.
In the barren wasteland where the expedition first went up the mountain.
A group of hideous-looking orc cavalry riding tall and ferocious wargs appeared in the rain.
The leader was a pale, strong half-orc with dark, dirty skin that was completely different from other half-orcs, and much larger than ordinary half-orcs.
It seems that he is not used to it, or maybe he is disdainful.
The pale orc leader only wore a piece of leather armor on his lower body, while his upper body was completely naked.
The half-orc's upper body is covered with solid muscles and is dotted with a large number of hideous scars of various shapes.
He has an ugly appearance, a mouth full of black messy fangs, and his face is covered with the same hideous scars as his body.
This is a half-orc that everyone will feel is very ferocious, powerful, and evil at first glance.
The pale orc is tall and strong, with an ugly and ferocious face, and a fierce aura far beyond that of ordinary orcs.
The same goes for the worg he sits on.
This is a ferocious white warg nearly four meters long, with hair as hard as white steel needles all over its body.
This one was far stronger than the average gray-black warg and the white warg king, no matter how strong it was. At this time, he was grinning and sniffing the scent of the wet ground.
Soon, the pale, strong orc said in a deep voice: "The stink of those dwarf dogs has not dissipated. They want to cross these mountains."
"The distance is not far..."
"Pass my order and let the news out that the bounty will be doubled again."
"This time, I will make these dwarf bastards completely extinct!"
Looking at the dim mountains in the heavy rain in the distance, the pale orc ordered with a ferocious face.
"Yes, Master..."
A half-orc responded respectfully.
Soon, a black raven with red eyes flew out of the group.
"Let's go, they haven't gone far yet."
"They can't walk fast in this weather..."
Looking at the increasingly dark rain curtain, the pale orc spoke in a deep voice.
Immediately, his legs suddenly pinched the warg's abdomen, and the tall and fierce white warg immediately rushed out.
The orcs behind him immediately followed.
A large group of Orc Warg Knights quickly disappeared into the dark wind and rain.
Inside the dark cave.
The expedition team was still chewing dried meat and drinking wine.
With previous experience.
Also thanks to the generosity of the elves.
This expedition brought a lot of wine from Rivendell.
Under Bahrain's proper control, these drinks can be consumed for at least half a month.
Although the members of the expedition team can't drink as much as they did in Rivendell.
But now I can drink wine with dinner every day. Compared with before, I am very happy.
Morgan chewed the dried meat, drank a little wine, closed his eyes, and leaned against the stone wall to relax.
There are many and important things to do next, so seizing the time to rest and replenish your energy is the most important thing now.
And experienced the previous stone giant war.
All the dwarves were also very tired today, and no one was in the mood to talk.
After finishing eating and drinking, the sound of snoring could be heard in the cave soon.
in the dark.
Bilbo huddled in a corner of the cave, thinking quietly.
He couldn't sleep.
No matter if it was Thorin Oakenshield who said such ugly words in public.
Still the comforting words of human Morgan.
Or maybe thinking about all the things he has done along the way.
Bilbo felt a little uneasy tonight.
But it should be Morgan’s comfort and encouragement along the way.
Although Bilbo had the idea of leaving the expedition team, he was not very strong.
Just like what Morgan said before: "You and I were sent by Gandalf, and we can't let Gandalf down..."
Yes, he wouldn't let Gandalf down, Morgan could do that.
Bilbo believed he could do it too.
Just when Bilbo was secretly thinking about the future.
The elf dagger pressed against his waist was constantly emitting a faint blue light.
