The expedition team was not moving very fast. Because of the height of the dwarves, they could only ride ponies. These horses were not good at running, but they were good at traveling long distances. Chen Mo and Gandalf could complete the distance in one day.
For the dwarves, it would take three days.
Of course, the dwarves do not have mounts that can run fast. Those long-trained goats are the partners of the dwarf cavalry. The huge and sharp corners coupled with the impact of running allow the goat cavalry to quickly
Break up the enemy formation, but these mounts are very valuable and will only be used in war. Thorin and his expedition are just personal actions. Without the support of their dwarf relatives, they can only ride dwarf horses. By the way,
Remember, Gandalf also paid for the pony, and now he can only live on Bilbo's tobacco.
"Bilbo, you can't smoke so much tobacco by yourself, but I gave you a bunch of handkerchiefs!"
So Bilbo could only watch helplessly as most of his treasures were taken away by the other party. Fortunately, Chen Mo didn't smoke, otherwise what he had left wouldn't be enough.
After a day's journey, everyone rested in a sheltered place in a canyon. While the dwarves were preparing dry bread and dried meat for dinner, Gandalf was already sitting next to Chen Mo expectantly, waiting for him to show off his skills again.
"I'm not a cook!"
"And there's not much to do here!"
"This is easy!"
Gandalf immediately stood up and hit the dwarves on the buttocks with his staff, asking them to chop wood and find water. The dwarves were not happy until they saw Chen Mo casually throw out a big pot, and each of them ran faster than the other.
Chen Mo's cooking skills are actually just average in general, that is, he can cook a few dishes well, but he immediately became the top in the Lonely Mountain Suicide Squad. After all, except for Bilbo, the rest of the dwarves can also cook it.
A barbecue.
It was still Pierce's stew, but this time the ingredients were not as good as last time. The dwarves only found an unlucky deer, but the dwarves who went to fetch water did catch a few plump river fish. In addition, they found
Chen Mo still made a filling pot of wild vegetables.
"Mr. Serent, won't you eat?"
Fili was holding a bowl of rice and asked curiously. He was Kili's brother and the heir of Durin's bloodline.
"I have a toothache and can't eat. If you eat, it's not enough!"
Chen Mo looked at the eight-treasure rice can being heated in the fire and said selflessly.
The dwarves' view of him suddenly changed greatly. Even Thorin Oakenshield looked at Chen Mo with a hint of gratitude in his eyes. Only Gandalf, who was holding the bowl, inadvertently looked at each other.
"Give me half?"
"one third!"
"make a deal!"
Gandalf looked back and spread some of his food for the dwarves, saying that he was getting old and his appetite was not as good as before. After four bowls, he couldn't eat anymore!
"But you ate eight bowls of stew in the Shire!"
Bilbo tried to expose Gandalf, but the latter picked up a piece of dry bread and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Eat your food and take a rest. We have to go on the road tomorrow!"
After scraping Bilbo's ancestral large cooking pot smoother than the elf girl's back, the dwarves put down the bowls and spoons in their hands, and then spontaneously divided into several groups to wash the pots and dishes. After Chen Mo destroyed the cans,
Take out your thermal imager and prepare for the night watch.
"Gandalf, have you ever thought that the actions of the dwarves will be discovered by Oak?"
"Impossible, the operation is very secretive, there is no way an Oak will show up!"
Gandalf's head shook like a rattle. This plan was drawn up by him from head to toe, and there would definitely be no mistakes!
"Then look what's on the other side of the canyon!"
Chen Mo threw a white-light telescope to the other party, and through the hazy moonlight, Gandalf saw a dozen Oak Wolf Cavalry lurking in the darkness.
"Damn guy!"
Realizing that there was something wrong with his perfect plan, Gandalf immediately prepared to pick up his staff and use Blade Storm on the Oak on the opposite side, but was stopped by Chen Mo.
"Let me do it!"
Chen Mo whistled, and the mount that was grazing obediently not far away ran over. Chen Mo took off the truncated lever rifle, locked the target with his eyes of death, and then fired.
The wolf cavalry in the distance were still observing secretly. They only saw a vague figure taking something off the horse, and then they saw a flash of fire in the distance, and then they didn't know anything else.
However, the distance of a hundred meters was just an appetizer for Chen Mo, who had become more and more proficient in drawing guns from Iai. The Oak Wolf Cavalry all fell to the ground before they knew what happened, and the Wargs under their crotches could not escape either.
The shimmering golden ammunition mercilessly penetrated the solid skulls and blew their bodies to pieces.
After finishing the ammunition, Chen Mo skillfully turned the gun body, ejected the last bullet casing, and then began to reload the ammunition. The dwarves, howling and raising their weapons, rushed towards the foot of the mountain, preparing to take a detour to smash a few Orcs to relieve their hatred.
.
After a while, the dwarves dragged a large pile of corpses back to the camp in depression. Chen Mo was too quick, and no one of the Oak's warg cavalry was spared. It was difficult for them to find anyone alive.
But not all was lost. Through the patterns on Oak's body, the dwarves confirmed the origin of the other party.
"This operation is no longer confidential!"
"The Orcs probably already know our purpose!"
"We have a traitor among us?"
"Someone leaked the secret!"
The dwarves immediately started talking like a pot was exploding, but Chen Mo was the only one who remained silent. He casually kicked the strung-up Oak corpses into the mountain stream, and then the remaining corpses also slipped down.
"Why are you thinking so much? Can't we just kill all the Oaks that come?"
Chen Mo's domineering speech immediately won a burst of applause. The dwarves liked this attitude of taking action if they refused. Some of them were even ready to go down and fish out the corpses, intending to kick them again.
Only Gandalf looked thoughtfully at the night sky in the distance.
"Serent, there must be something wrong with Oak's actions!"
"Bullshit, even a blind person can see it!"
Chen Mo rolled his eyes angrily. He had just fallen asleep when Gandalf woke him up and discussed the underlying reasons.
"Those guys came to Lonely Mountain to stop your plan and chop off the heads of a few dwarves. Darkness is approaching, my friend!"
"Alas, this land will never be peaceful again!"
Gandalf is not a fool, so he naturally understands Chen Mo's hint. At this time, who else has the dark forces who have the time and energy to do bad things?
But what he couldn't figure out was how could the dark forces revive?
