"Huhuhu~" Everyone was running, and the Wargs behind them were chasing.
An inexplicable sense of familiarity struck him, and Sorin and the others wanted to laugh but couldn't.
"What should I do? I can't go on like this!" Groin said, glancing at the child who was pinched under his arm, enduring his gasping lungs.
If it were normal, they would not be so embarrassed, but they still had to rescue these children.
These "burdens" have seriously slowed down their pace and greatly depleted their stamina. If this continues, they will be finished sooner or later.
"I'll stop it!" Carl said again. To be honest, he didn't feel any pressure in his heart to fight the Orcs in such terrain.
Come like the wind, go like a shadow, as long as he wants, he can retreat at any time.
"No, most of the Orc army behind them, numbering in the thousands, is led by Azog, and there is only one dead end left." Gandalf shook his head.
Compared with before, such a gap is undoubtedly wider. Azog has really invested his blood for them.
"Gandalf, why don't you believe me? Don't you know my strength?" Carl said, turning Gandalf away.
Although the earth bomb was used a lot last time, and there were not many incendiary bottles left, although his own strength did not say that he could solve all the chasing soldiers behind him, delays could still be easily done.
"Groin, Balin, you and Qi Li, Nuoli, Feili, Pangbo, and Bever take the children back, we will stay and break the queen." Sorin suddenly said.
He also understands the current situation and knows that it will not go on like this, but it is obvious that Carl alone cannot deal with so many Orc army, so after a difficult choice, he finally made a decision.
"This, Sorin, how can you stay? I'll stay, you take it."
"Enough, Balin, I have made my decision, and nothing will happen." Thorin interrupted the old dwarf.
The purpose of his trip was to get back the Arken gem, but now he has deviated from the original intention, but now, he has given up halfway, leaving his teammates to escape alone is impossible, so he has to... fight again.
Moreover, the guy behind him, Azog, was originally his enemy, and now he is so chasing after him. If he stays, Azog will definitely change his target.
The dwarves understood Thorin's thoughts, but were still embarrassed.
Just when everyone was embarrassed, an inexplicable voice suddenly sounded: "Master, I have a way to solve the pursuit behind."
It was Gollum who had been following Carl's side the whole time.
Everyone turned their heads and looked at Gollum, a trace of surprise and doubt flashed in their eyes.
Carl also asked with some interest: "What can you do?"
"There is a devil snake living in the north of the forest, its name is Uwali, that guy," a cruel smile suddenly appeared on Gollum's face.
Said: "That guy has a bad temper, it doesn't like others to go to his place to disturb his peace, and if someone angers him, it will get angry, spray venom, and grind it into pieces of meat puree."
Carl looked at Gollum with an inexplicable light in his eyes, paused, and asked, "Are you sure, are you sure you can take us through where?"
He already understood what Gollum meant, did he want to rely on that snake to delay time? Although this idea is good, since that snake is so irritable, it should not be tolerant to those who are also preparing to cross its territory.
"Of course, Master, I'll take you through that swamp safely, I swear." Gollum called again, after saying that, seeing Carl hesitated, thinking he was worried, and hurriedly said, "Master, please believe me, I will never, never betray you, please believe me."
Carl glanced at Gollum again, only to see it looking at him expectantly with longing eyes.
"Okay, let's go then!" Carl finally nodded.
He can take this opportunity to see if Gollum's performance is what he said. Of course, if the situation really goes in the worst direction, Carl is not worried at all, but it's just an Orc wolf cavalry. It's a last resort, he doesn't mind a little extra effort.
The crowd finally changed direction again and ran towards the north.
There is a swamp in the Northland called the Haar Swamp, which is the birthplace of the Haar Waterway.
There are tall grasses, barren tall trees, and knee-deep water pools.
The water was turbid and yellow, mixed with water plants, making it difficult to see what was hidden below.
There was a sudden change in the originally quiet swamp, water waves rippling, and Gollum volunteered to walk in front, wading through the water with everyone.
This is indeed a chore for it, because he can't help but break open the water plants that hinder people, and be careful of hidden poisonous insects or snakes.
However, Gollum seemed to know where he was going and what was the best way to do it, and he seemed to be very skilled, and he acted calmly.
While walking, it told the crowd not to make too much noise.
Gollum was indeed familiar with this place, or most places in the Misty Mountains.
He has lived here for thousands of years since he turned into this ghost. In other words, this place can be quite his "home".
No one is unfamiliar with their own home, and neither is Gollum.
