Above Raven Ridge.
The Elf King Thranduil left with a large group of Wood Elf warriors.
Watching the other person's retreating back.
Tariel's expression was complicated.
When she was a child, her memory of her parents disappeared very early. It was His Majesty King Thranduil who adopted her.
To a certain extent, His Majesty the King is her adoptive father.
For more than six hundred years, she lived and grew up in the Dark Jungle, growing from an ordinary wood elf to the captain of the kingdom's guard.
It was the kingdom and His Majesty Thranduil who trained her.
Tauriel knew very well and had always been grateful and sincerely in love with His Majesty Thranduil.
However, as time passed, the original big green forest began to be shrouded in demonic shadow, and dark and evil creatures began to breed.
It turns out that the wise King knows that the lair of those dark and evil giant spiders is located in the ruins of Dol Guldur in the south of the Great Green Forest.
But always let it go.
So, slowly, the originally beautiful and quiet big green forest turned into a black forest, into a dark and dense forest that would appear discolored to ordinary people.
This makes Tariel, who has been instilled by His Majesty the King with the consciousness of eradicating evil since childhood, very confused.
She made countless suggestions to kill those dark and evil giant spiders, but all of them were rejected by His Majesty the Kingdom.
From then on, Tauriel's incomprehension naturally turned into dissatisfaction.
This kind of dissatisfaction gradually accumulates as the environment of those dark jungles further deteriorates, and as the dark and evil spiders frequently cross the border.
When she killed another dark spider and captured a group of dwarf expedition members, she met one of them, the human Morgan.
When they met for the first time, Morgan acted boldly in front of her, but not in an annoyingly bold manner, which left a deep impression on her.
After that, Morgan's handsomeness, boldness, humor, and passionate pursuit naturally made Tariel willing to get close to Morgan.
It was at that time that my good impression of Morgan began to take root in my heart.
When Morgan's dwarf team escaped from the Woodland Kingdom.
When Tariel was ordered to chase the group of dwarves, they encountered orcs.
Elves and orcs have always been mortal enemies.
After a battle.
When she returned to the kingdom, she originally thought that His Majesty King Thranduil would issue an order to kill the orcs still in the kingdom's territory.
However, Tauriel was still disappointed. Just like those dark and evil spiders, His Majesty the King still chose to turn a blind eye to the orcs.
Tariel was completely disappointed.
That's why she disobeyed His Majesty the King's order and went to Chang Lake Town privately to pursue the orcs.
Deep down though, she was worried that Morgan was real.
But her determination to pursue the orcs is equally genuine.
Then, after finding Morgan, he followed His Highness Legolas to Gundabad in the north to inquire about the news.
When he saw His Majesty Thranduil again, Tauriel learned that she had been expelled by the king.
At that moment, she was really sad and disappointed.
She knew she was wrong to disobey orders, but she was far from wrong enough to be expelled by His Majesty the King.
This was unacceptable to Tariel.
Even though she still loves Mirkwood in her heart, she still loves and respects His Majesty King Thranduil from the bottom of her heart.
But she knew that nothing could go back.
"everything will be fine..."
Sensing the depressed mood of the female elf beside him, Morgan tightened the slender palms in his hands, turned his head to look at Tariel and smiled: "Trust me."
Seeing Morgan's gentle gaze, Tarrell felt warm in his heart and nodded.
I just sighed in my heart.
From what she knew about His Majesty Thranduil.
It can't get better.
Morgan seemed to see the worry in Tariel's heart, and didn't say much. He just smiled and walked towards Gandalf a little further away.
At this time, the dwarves Kili and Dwalin were preparing to carry Thorin Oakenshield down the mountain.
Bilbo was there to help.
Gandalf stood on the northern edge of the frozen lake, looking at the battle on the plain far ahead in trance.
Morgan walked to Gandalf's side and looked at the chaotic battlefield ahead without making a sound.
It was mid-afternoon.
The sky is exceptionally bright after the storm.
There was no longer any cloud visible in the sky.
Under the transparent blue sky.
The warmth of the winter sun envelopes the earth.
The eagle whistles loudly.
The sound echoed throughout the battlefield north of Raven Ridge.
A large number of huge giant eagles circled in the sky, swooping down towards the orc army below, then quickly flying high, then circling back, and swooping down to attack again.
There is no giant crossbow specifically designed to deal with giant eagles.
These giant eagles are now completely invincible on the entire battlefield.
Coupled with the ubiquitous shroud of sunlight in the sky.
The originally well-organized orc army of Gundabad was now in disarray.
A large number of orcs were attacked by giant eagles and died.
But more orcs were trampled to death because they were squeezing each other to escape.
Because the giant eagle in the sky is obviously very experienced in dealing with these orcs.
They divide the work and cooperate, you attack here, I attack over there.
Driven by the cooperation of each other, the half-orcs completely collapsed and had no reason to speak. In a panic, they collided and crowded with each other, which could easily lead to a stampede to death.
Looking at the orc troops leaving countless corpses and running away.
Morgan and Gandalf both knew very well that their side had won this war.
Looking at the battlefield below, Morgan suddenly noticed a strange figure. He saw a huge giant bear attacking the orcs very fiercely on the battlefield.
But soon, he knew who the giant bear was by memorizing the plot.
It should be the skin-changing Beorn whom he met before arriving in the Mirkwood with the expedition team.
The other party also provided help to the expedition team.
"That giant bear is...?"
At this time, Tauriel came up behind and stood next to Morgan, looking at the battlefield in the distance. She also saw a conspicuous and huge figure on the battlefield, and couldn't help but ask.
Morgan was about to speak when he heard Gandalf answer: "That's Beorn, the skin-changer."
"Skin-changers and orcs are also feuding..."
Gandalf spoke calmly.
Morgan asked very timely: "How do the skin changers and the giant eagles know that there will be a war here in Lonely Mountain?"
Hearing Morgan's wise words, Gandalf immediately smiled: "I asked Radagast to inform them before arriving at the Lonely Mountain."
"Fortunately they came in time..."
Gandalf continued.
Morgan, Tariel and Bilbo behind him were all silent at this time.
Yes, fortunately these giant eagles arrived in time.
Otherwise, there is no chance of winning this war.
"Thorin still needs to rest and recuperate, it's time for us to go down."
At this time, looking at the looks of Kili and Dwalin behind him, Morgan spoke.
"It's time to go down."
"The war is almost over, and there are still many things to do next."
Gandalf turned his head, looked at Morgan with a somewhat profound look and said.
Morgan looked slightly stunned.
Then he quickly reacted and quickly understood what Gandalf meant.
The war is almost over.
It was also the war that allowed dwarves, humans, and elves to unite to deal with the common enemy, the orcs.
Now the orcs have been completely defeated.
But who can forget just before this war.
At dawn, the Iron Hills dwarves and the wood elves almost went to war.
Fortunately, Morgan reacted in time and decisively controlled the dwarf lord Dyne Ironfoot of the Iron Hills, otherwise the dwarves and wood elves would have had to fight each other.
As for the humans in River Valley Town, they also have grudges against the Turin dwarves.
Now the war is about to end.
Then he couldn't see whether Thorin Oakenshield, who was unconscious in the distance, was really awake.
Otherwise, there will be a lot of trouble ahead.
Next, Dvalin carried Thorin Oakenshield on his back.
The group of people quickly headed down Raven Ridge.
On the way down the mountain, I encountered some orcs who were panicking and retreating.
Kili and Bilbo, who were leading the way, easily solved it.
When a group of people arrived at the foot of Raven Ridge.
Bilbo and the dwarf Kili, who were the first to walk quickly down the mountain, looked left and right.
Finally one thing is certain.
"Our horse is gone..."
"Not so long ago, when I came with Gandalf..."
"Don't think about it. Those orcs just fled up the mountain in panic. Do you still expect that the horse tied at the foot of the mountain is still there?"
"What should I do..."
"What else can I do? I can only walk back..."
The conversation between Bilbo and Kili was immediately understood by the people behind them.
It's just that Raven Ridge, whether it's from Hehe Town or Gushan, it takes at least close to three hours to walk simply by walking.
It took such a long time and it would be dark when we really had to walk back.
Everyone else was fine, but it was probably not appropriate for Thorin Oakenshield, who was unconscious due to the exhaustion of injuries on Dwalin's back.
Just when everyone was worried about this.
There was a sudden noise in the distance.
Everyone immediately looked up and saw a dwarf chariot pulled by several giant-horned war sheep heading towards the lonely mountain at a fast speed.
The driver was the white-bearded dwarf Balin. On both sides of the carriage were crowded the dwarves of the expedition team, including Bofur, Dori, Groin, Ori, Bombur, and Bifur.
They had obviously finished fighting the orcs on the Lonely Mountain battlefield, and were now heading towards Raven Ridge.
"Look, ahead, I see Kili and Dwalin..."
"And Morgan, Gandalf and Bilbo are here too. That's great. I knew they wouldn't leave us alone..."
"I also saw the female elf...wait, why didn't I see Fili..."
"And Thorin, where is Thorin?"
"Who's carrying Dwalin on his back?"
"No, it's Thorin. He's carrying Thorin. I remember the clothes Thorin wore today..."
"Is Thorin injured, and where is Fili?"
"Damn it, Fili won't..."
"It'll be okay. Didn't you see that Morgan and Gandalf are here..."
"But why didn't I see Fili..."
"Don't worry, they look fine. Didn't you see Bilbo waving to us? We'll know when we get there!"
The dwarves talked a lot, but in the end, Balin's words made all the dwarves in the car quiet down.
The Bighorn chariot continues its rapid advance.
It didn't take long.
When Balin drove a chariot and brought a group of dwarves to the foot of Raven Ridge, he arrived in front of the group of people.
After finally knowing that Fili was still in Riverdale Town and that Thorin Oakenshield had just passed out from exhaustion, all the dwarves were completely relieved and relieved.
Because there were too many dwarves crowded into the chariot.
Except for letting Thorin Oakenshield, who was seriously injured and unconscious, get on the chariot.
The others still had no choice but to walk back.
The dwarf Bombur was forced to get out of the car because he was too bulky.
At this time, the battle on the Gushan battlefield has come to an end.
The orcs died and fled.
The battlefield is full of Iron Hills dwarf soldiers and wood elf warriors cleaning the battlefield.
Iron ore is a precious strategic resource for all the forces in Middle-earth.
The armor and weapons on these orc corpses are undoubtedly a huge treasure.
It's the same for dwarves and elves who are good at mining.
Even if they look down on the rough forging craftsmanship of the orcs.
They can also recast the weapons and equipment ripped from the orc corpses.
The Iron Hills dwarves and the Mirkwood elves are the main fighting force in this battle, and they should get the biggest share of the battlefield.
As for the people's militiamen in River Valley Town, the equipment on the orc corpses in River Valley Town naturally belongs to them.
And in the wilderness north of Raven Ridge, there is a battlefield that has not yet been completely completed.
In the end, how to distribute the weapons and equipment left by the orcs will require discussion among several kings.
When Morgan Tariel and Gandalf Bilbo arrived in Dale Town.
It was already dark.
But on the battlefield outside River Valley Town, lights were shining.
It was the Iron Hills dwarf soldiers and wood elf warriors holding torches to clean the battlefield.
In River Valley Town.
At this time, the fire was shining brightly.
It was different from the silence on the lonely mountain battlefield outside.
There were wailing and crying everywhere in the town of River Valley.
Beside every street and in front of every human corpse, you can almost see old people, women, or children sitting, lying down, or kneeling in front of each corpse, crying and wailing.
That's their son, father, husband...
No matter which world or country a war takes place in, it is only the lowest level of civilians who ultimately pay for it.
Walking slowly through the streets.
Looking at the sad scenes on the street.
Morgan Tariel and Gandalf's group looked heavy and didn't say anything.
Walk all the way to the depths of River Valley Town, approaching the central square of the city hall.
Morgan suddenly asked Gandalf next to him: "Tell me, what is the reason why the orc behind him is so crazy in starting a war?"
Gandalf turned his head and glanced at Morgan, and after a moment of contemplation he said in a deep voice: "Of course it is to rule the world and enslave the world."
At this time, the lights in the City Hall Square were brightly lit.
There were piles of burning bonfires everywhere, with cooking pots or grills on them. There were people busy in front of each bonfire.
at this time.
"Morgan..."
A voice suddenly came from behind.
Morgan turned his head and saw Bud coming from outside with a group of people, including his son Barn and two women, Snow Song and Tilda.
"Uncle Morgan..."
Little Tilda was the most enthusiastic. As soon as she saw Morgan, she immediately let go of her sister's hand and ran towards Morgan.
After a brief greeting.
Morgan pointed to the large number of bonfires in the square and asked Bud: "What are these?"
"This is the bonfire party after the victory of the war..."
Bud looked complicated and said softly: "I hope people can try to forget their sorrow..."
After chatting with Bard, he also visited the sleeping dwarf Fili.
Gandalf, Tariel, Bilbo, and Bard's son and daughter sat beside a larger fire.
Morgan walked alone to the Elf King's tent in the open-air garden next to the City Hall Square.
The elf guard in front of the king's tent obviously knew Morgan.
After giving a slight salute to Morgan, he opened the door curtain behind him.
Morgan nodded in return and strode into the king's tent.
