Chapter 230 Battle of the Five Armies
Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but laugh when he saw the young man and Yourong Yan's proud look.
The young man seemed to feel that he had not participated, so he gradually lost his confidence amidst Lin Zhongtian's laughter.
He blushed and asked, "How do you prove that you are Legolas's friend?"
"Well, let me think about it..."
Lin Zhongtian blinked his eyes, thought for a moment, walked into the room under the young man's vigilant gaze, picked up the broken silver armor neatly placed beside the bed, and saw no special movements on his part, and quickly broke the silver armor into dozens of pieces. Begin to heal.
In the blink of an eye, the broken silver armor became complete again.
The young man's eyes widened and he stared at the complete silver armor in Lin Zhongtian's hand in shock. Then he suddenly realized something and quickly turned his attention to the silver armor on Lin Zhongtian's body that seemed to be made of the same material.
"you you……"
"Yes, I gave this armor to him."
Lin Zhongtian smiled and nodded, then looked at the compound bow in the young man's hand: "This bow and arrow are the same."
The young man swallowed and looked at Lin Zhongtian blankly, as if he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Lin Zhongtian ignored the young man's reaction. He placed the silver armor on the bedside and reached out to brush Legolas' forehead.
The gray mist turned into thin threads and poured into Legolas' body, repairing the scars on his body and his sleeping soul.
Finally, nourished by the gray mist, Legolas slowly opened his eyes.
Looking at the familiar face belonging to Lin Zhongtian, Legolas was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up, constantly looking for something.
"Are you looking for this?"
Lin Zhongtian gently placed a beautifully decorated wooden box on the table.
Legolas quickly turned over and sat up, opened the wooden box, and saw the fine white diamonds stuffed inside, as well as the exquisite and luxurious white diamond necklace lying in the white diamonds, like a white diamond necklace containing pure starlight, and then he took a long breath. He breathed a sigh of relief and closed the wooden box again.
Seeing his appearance, Lin Zhongtian smiled and turned to look at the boy who was still in a daze.
"Can we have a private chat?"
"..."
The young man came back to his senses and looked at Legolas hesitantly.
Seeing Legolas nodded slightly, the young man put down his compound bow, stood up and left, and thoughtfully closed the door for the two of them.
Lin Zhongtian turned around and looked at Legolas, whose eyes seemed a little tired.
He suddenly asked: "Why not let the humans in Changhu Town send back the white diamond necklace?"
Legolas glanced at him, shook his head and said, "I can't trust them."
Lin Zhongtian raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"
Legolas said softly: "Whether they are humans or dwarves, they are all greedy by nature. I cannot trust the white diamond necklace that I have worked so hard to retrieve on human nature that cannot withstand the test, unless Bard personally escorts it." , but he also has to take care of these townspeople, so..."
Legolas shook his head and did not finish his words, but his meaning was self-evident.
Lin Zhongtian laughed when he heard this and said meaningfully: "Is it just because of this?"
Legolas was startled for a moment, frowned and said, "What else?"
Lin Zhongtian smiled and said: "You are still worried that the humans in Changhu Town will use the white diamond necklace as a threat to force the Woodland Kingdom to send troops, right?"
Legolas couldn't help but fell silent after hearing this.
Lin Zhongtian said softly: "Then have you ever thought that without the Woodland Kingdom and the three thousand elves, the Battle of the Five Armies will inevitably fail. By then, the humans in Changhu Town and the dwarves in Gushan will all die at the hands of the orcs …”
Legolas suddenly said: "I am the elf prince of the Woodland Kingdom. Your Majesty Valar, do you think I care about the lives of dwarves and humans?"
Lin Zhongtian smiled and said: "Of course not, but as for your friends, such as the hobbit named Bilbo, and Bard who slayed the dragon with you, do you really want to watch them die in the war against the orcs? ?”
"..."
Legolas frowned tightly, suddenly raised the corner of his mouth, looked at Lin Zhongtian, shook his head and smiled: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for offending, your words reminded me of a disgusting word."
"What word?"
"Moral kidnapping."
Legolas said calmly.
Lin Zhongtian couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said: "You misunderstood, I don't have such thoughts."
Legolas said calmly: "You want me to persuade the Woodland Kingdom to send troops..."
Lin Zhongtian shook his head and interrupted: "No, I want you to lead another army to participate in the Battle of Five Armies."
Legolas was slightly startled and asked in confusion: "Another army? What kind of army? Is there an army nearby that can compare with the elves of the Woodland Kingdom?"
"Who told you it was a nearby army?" Lin Zhongtian said with a chuckle, "You have passed the test. Now, let me introduce myself again. My name is Lin Zhongtian. Like the soul of Fitz in your body, I am also a time traveler. …”
"Are you a time traveler?"
Legolas stared at him blankly.
Lin Zhongtian was surprised and said: "Can't you see it?"
Legolas shook his head and said: "I thought you just read my mind. After all, there are gods and creators in this world... Wait, there are gods and creators, why can you become Valar?"
Lin Zhongtian sighed: "I told you a long time ago that I am not Vera. If your father doesn't believe it, what can I do!"
Legolas hesitated and said: "The gods and creators..."
Lin Zhongtian said calmly: "We maintain a good relationship with Ilúvatar, so he will not interfere with us."
Legolas said in confusion, "You?"
Lin Zhongtian chuckled and said: "Yes, I am not a traveler in this world, nor am I alone. The test you passed is the test of our traveler alliance. Now that you have obtained the qualification, are you willing to join us?"
"The Alliance of Travelers?"
Legolas couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Lin Zhongtian saw this expression too often and said with a smile: "As long as you join us, the members of the alliance will provide you with troops, and you can join them in the next Battle of the Five Armies. This way you can get what you want, Saving the lives of your elves can also win the Battle of the Five Armies, and saving the friends you made during this journey is the best of both worlds, what do you think?"
"What if I don't join?"
Legolas suddenly asked.
Lin Zhongtian shook his head: "Then I can only apologize. We have no obligation to provide help to non-alliance members."
Legolas laughed at himself: "Well, it seems I still have no choice."
Lin Zhongtian said lightly: "No, you have a choice, you just have no choice on the road to a happy ending. If you want, you can choose to watch humans and dwarves being drowned by the sea of orc armies, but you Will you do this?"
Legolas thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No."
Lin Zhongtian chuckled and said: "That's okay. This is a choice caused by your character, which is also called fate. If you want the ending to be as you wish, but don't want to sacrifice the freedom of choice, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world... "
"Been taught a lesson."
Legolas sighed, then grabbed the silver armor on the bedside, and said softly: "I am willing to join you, take me to find your army!"
Lin Zhongtian took out the Void Jade Tablet and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll shake him right away!"
Legolas: "..."
Does that mean you haven’t started shaking people yet?
For some reason, he suddenly felt that his decision was a little hasty.
…
…
Quanyou world, receiving a message from Lin Zhongtian, Daenerys couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
Participate in the Battle of Five Armies? Fill Thranduil's vacancy? And Ilúvatar?
What's going on? Boss is now on an equal footing with the Creator?
The huge amount of information contained in these short words caused Daenerys's thoughts to surge violently.
After digesting the message from Lin Zhongtian, Daenerys tentatively replied: "How to participate?"
Lin Zhongtian said: "I will open a portal to let your army enter the world of Lord of the Rings. After this battle, the Alliance of Travelers will have the power to enter the world of Lord of the Rings, and can even actively interfere with the plot and establish your own power. , and will not be affected by Ilúvatar and the gods."
"..." Daenerys was silent for a long time, but couldn't help but ask, "How did you reach such an agreement with that person?"
"Don't worry about it, just say whether you're coming or not... Oh, by the way, there is something called the 'Great Barrier of Ilúvatar' in Middle-earth today, which includes all thermal weapons and extraordinary powers other than the physical body. All will be limited, preferably forever.”
"..."
Daenerys looked at the battle report on the table and said with a strange expression: "Boss, you didn't happen to find me, did you?"
Lin Zhongtian smiled and said: "Of course, I heard that your army is galloping on the Dothraki Sea. It should have captured many tribes now, right?"
Daenerys looked at the news of the attack on the Horse King's City in the battle report, and nodded silently: "Indeed."
Lin Zhongtian continued: "These Dothraki are predatory, bloodthirsty and cruel. It is difficult for them to be good people under your rule. Rather than putting them in the kingdom to cause chaos, it is better to send them out to open up territory. Anyway, they are not It shouldn’t be a pain to use your direct troops, right?”
Although this sentence is cruel, it does speak to Daenerys's heart.
She originally didn't know how to deal with these marauding Dothraki warriors. The opportunity provided by Lin Zhongtian was good news. It allowed her to ignore the adult Dothraki warriors for the time being and focus on cultivating and educating the next generation. Dothraki children.
"The scale of the Battle of the Five Armies is not very large. It does not require too many troops. A few thousand Dothraki cavalry is almost enough - I forgot to ask, how many Dothraki cavalry do you have now?"
"About three to four hundred thousand." Daenerys said with some uncertainty. "I don't know the specific number. After all, all of them are soldiers, and their education level is very low. It is really troublesome to count, but I should be able to confirm. The real number is definitely much higher than this number!”
"..." Lin Zhongtian fell into silence, and then ordered, "Send less, don't send so many, I'm afraid someone will be impatient."
Although the Battle of the Five Armies is a classic battle of the Hobbit, the number of armies participating in the war is actually a bit embarrassing. There are only 3,000 elven spearmen and archers in the Woodland Kingdom, and only 500 dwarf troops in the Iron Hills. Although the number of orcs they fought was as high as 25,000, their combat effectiveness was really not worth mentioning.
With the bravery and skill of the Dothraki warriors, it is estimated that thousands of cavalry can slaughter the more than 25,000 orcs.
But don't be careless. After all, there are powerful trolls and countless bats on the orc side, so you still have to respect them.
Daenerys thought for a moment and said: "Thirty thousand Dothraki cavalry, a thousand Unsullied bodyguards, and three giant dragons, I will go out personally."
Lin Zhongtian said: "Okay! I will change my identity and join you when the time comes, and I will absolutely guarantee your safety."

…
On the other side, Thorin, who was in Erebor, was affected by dragon disease just like in the original work. He began to have the same fanatical greed and possessiveness as the dragon for the treasures in the Lonely Mountain. In order to prevent Smaug or others from snatching the treasures of the Lonely Mountain, He blocked the entrance to the mountain and began building fortifications.
Bard led hundreds of soldiers from Lake Town to the foot of the Lonely Mountain, told Legolas's promise, and asked Thorin to share the wealth of the Lonely Mountain with them.
Thorin unsurprisingly rejected Bard's request and firmly stated that he was unwilling to negotiate with them unless Legolas came in person.
There was no other way, Bard could only lead hundreds of human troops to surround Gushan.
Taking this opportunity, Thorin sent a raven to ask for help from his relative Dain Ironfoot.
He threatened that he had regained the Lonely Mountain and obtained the 'Heart of the Mountain', the Silmarillion of Arken.
And with the Arken Silmarillion, Thorin can officially become the King under the Mountain of Erebor.
Dain responded to the King Under the Mountain's call and led more than five hundred dwarves from the Iron Hills to come to support.
At the same time, Gandalf finally arrived at the Lonely Mountain and learned from Bard the reason why the human army besieged the Lonely Mountain.
Bilbo didn't want the confrontation between the two sides to escalate, so he stole the Arkenstone and gave it to Bard, hoping that he could make a deal with Thorin on the terms of the Arkenstone. Later, the kind-hearted Bilbo Instead of following Bud's advice to stay, he returned to Lonely Mountain.
The next day, the two sides continued to negotiate, but this time, the humans seemed confident.
Facing Gandalf who appeared behind Bard and the Arkenstone he took out, Thorin finally realized Bilbo's betrayal.
Not surprisingly, he fell into a rage, but even in the state of rage and dragon disease, Thorin still did not kill Bilbo, but just drove him away.
At this moment, Dain, Lord of the Iron Hills, finally rushed in with his army, and the two sides faced off outside the Lonely Mountain.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate and the war was about to break out, darkness suddenly enveloped the earth, and billowing dark clouds appeared in overwhelming force, carrying restless thunder and strong winds raging on the top of the lonely mountain.
Amidst the roaring thunder, the huge earth worms broke through the hard solitary mountain soil and rocks outside Erebor, leaving several huge black holes, and dense black shadows poured out from them like a tide. It was from the northern orcs that The orc army led by King Azog and his son Bolg.
