Chapter 1091: 1073 honor

Chapter 1091 1073. Reputation

“Hurry, hurry, hurry! Hurry up! Time waits for no one!”

Thorin was at the bow of the ship, holding the scabbard Orcrest all the way to push away the wreckage of the ship or the floating corpses of orcs and humans blocking the waterway, clearing the way for the ship.

Lan En was walking on the footpath beside the waterway.

His movements are extremely fast, even walking can keep up with the speed of the dwarves rowing.

Occasionally, sporadic orcs would rush out of the alleys beside the town's trails, but basically they would die in Lan En's hands as soon as they met, just like pulling off a blade of grass during a walk.

The flannel ball shuttled lightly on the roof on the other side of the waterway. It cleared away the orc archers who wanted to occupy the shooting angle on the roof.

"To the right."

Lan En guided the dwarves and steered the ship into the correct waterway. While squatting, he jumped up and passed directly over the heads of the dwarves. By the way, he crossed the entire waterway and continued to lead the way to the right.

Lan chose the shortest route, and the dwarves' ship went all the way to the end of the waterway.

Further ahead is the stone brick wall of Changhu Town. Only a water-dungeon-like iron fence is cut out on the lower edge of the wall to act as a sluice to block ice floes.

This will definitely not make it across the ship.

But the dwarves are not in a hurry. After several cooperation and exchanges, they have always had a reliable impression of Lan En.

So at this time, a group of bearded dwarves just stopped their oars and turned to look at the witcher eagerly.

The witcher did indeed live up to the expectations of the dwarves.

He put his fingers into his mouth and whistled loudly.

Immediately afterwards, an echoing neighing sound came from outside the wall blocking the waterway.

There was a muffled sound of "bang", mixed with the sound of stone bricks being hit by a battering ram.

The wall was originally tightly connected, but now the adhesive between the bricks has broken apart, spraying out flying dust.

“Go back! Go back!”

Thorin was startled and quickly made the two boats pull back.

There was another blow from outside the wall, and this time it directly broke the wall.

The bricks, either intact or broken, flew apart, and the sluice gate on the wall was naturally blown away as well.

“Well done.”

The dwarves shouted loudly, jumped off the boat at the same time, and began to clear the debris of the stone wall to make it easier for the boat to pass.

The unicorn stretched out its head curiously from the gap. The dwarves standing on the wreckage cleaning the bricks happily wanted to jump up and touch its head, but the unicorn was too tall and the dwarves could not touch it even if they jumped up.

After discovering that Qilin stretched its head, lowering and then raising it quickly like fishing, just because it thought it was fun to tease the dwarves, the dwarves all smiled and started working without paying attention to it.

Thorin, Balin and Bilbo did not go down to clean up the wreckage because they each controlled a ship to prevent it from drifting. But they also showed uncontrollable happiness at being one step closer to the lonely mountain.

Because that is the end and goal of the journey.

Bahrain looked at Lan En seriously.

"The most miserable and unacceptable days are the poor days."

“That’s because they haven’t seen real cruelty yet, or the days of cruelty are too far away from them.”

Lan En said calmly, a house lost its load-bearing structure due to the burning of the flames, and collapsed behind him.

Stirring up a cloud of ashes still carrying sparks.

“They mistakenly thought that those poor but peaceful days were not worth mentioning, so they desperately wanted to escape. But I thought that after tonight, their minds might change.”

Bahrain shook his head indifferently: "People's thoughts will change at any time, and they can't change the ordinary day and night. But our determination to regain our homeland will not change, Lan En."

"At this point, we want to take back our hometown. Isn't it natural? We promise to compensate Changhu Town and the people who may be affected in the process of taking back our hometown. A huge compensation that they fully accept. ”

"If we wake up Smaug, we will definitely die first. And if they are still alive by then, the treasure in the Lonely Mountain will be available for anyone to take, and we can make a promise."

“Thorin, say something.”

Balin shouted forward, and the dwarf prince also stood up and nodded to Lan En.

“In the name of the King under the Mountain, if we die, Lonely Mountain cannot be recaptured. Then the wealth in Lonely Mountain will belong to the survivors, and they will be able to use the money to build the most prosperous city in the world.”

Lan En was silent as the surrounding wooden buildings crackled in the flames and made a squeaking sound.

The dwarves who had finished cleaning the waterway were standing on both sides, watching Thorin and Lan in silence.

What both of them said made sense, and the dwarves were not unreasonable people. They also feel guilty for the people affected by their actions.

But in terms of their stance, they must be determined to regain their homeland with death.

After all, they are all descendants of the Turin dwarves.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment until another voice appeared.

"that."

Bilbo Baggins, the hobbit sitting behind Balin.

He probed his head, raised his hand tentatively, and carefully turned his eyes around to look at everyone present.

Like a timid rabbit.

But if he was really timid, he would not be able to speak at this time.

Still saying this

"I guarantee it on my own behalf! Thorin Oakenshield's promises are never false, and he always keeps his word."

There were nine dwarves present, but perhaps because they were all dwarves, it was difficult to express their stance to Lan En and gain his trust.

The final result was that a hobbit stood up and testified for Thorin with his own honor.

Thorin and the dwarves suddenly turned their heads and focused their eyes on the short and weak hobbit, causing Bilbo to laugh uncomfortably and twist his body.

Thorin pursed his lips, looked at Bilbo deeply, and said nothing more, just nodded heavily, and then sat down.
