The firewood is burning, the smoke is filling the air, and the ancient cave is ashes and bleak...

Locked in the wooden prison are pairs of pure and crystal-clear eyes. The children's original intentions have not been lost, and the eyes should have hope and joy, but at this moment, in these eyes, only fear and despair can be seen .

"Ah~" A scream came from outside the cage not far from them, making them tremble even more.

In front of the cage, there were several huge stoves made of black iron, with a pitch-black iron pot placed on it.

"Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!" The foul-smelling green smoky liquid was continuously boiling, and bursts of bubbles rose up, filling up, shattering, and repeating itself.

"Ah~" Several orcs were holding a few weeping and wailing sons of men, and they walked slowly towards the boiling stove.

"No, don't—, I want to go home, I want to go home—" The child's voice that should have been clear became hoarse.

"Puff!" The Orcs were indifferent, and they threw their hands away, and the hoarse cry disappeared.

The dark green liquid was tumbling, and then returned to calm.

"It failed again." The Orcs shook their heads and continued to prepare new materials.

The person still locked in the cell, with tears in his eyes, watched this scene, but dared not speak out.

They bit their lips tightly, their thin bodies hugged each other, trembling, trying to get rid of the horror they saw from the bottom of their hearts.

But just when they were terrified, a sharp scream suddenly came from the exit of the cave:

"Come on, someone has broken in! Someone has broken in, and they want to

rescue those boys."

...

Gollum yelled, and then, while everyone in Sorin was in a daze, he quickly jumped a few times and climbed up the side of the cave, then turned around and looked at everyone under Sorin, with a playful smile on his lips.

"Gulu, you actually betrayed us?" Sorin looked at Gulu on the rock wall, but he couldn't help but see fireworks in his eyes.

This disgusting guy led them all the way here, to the Orc's lair, and then suddenly yelled, and they didn't even need to think about what happened to them.

Betrayal, no doubt, this guy who had always been docile temporarily turned his back on them and betrayed them.

"No, no, no, this is our gift to you. Besides, we never thought about who we would be loyal to, so how could we betray anyone?" Gulu said triumphantly.

"Gulu, why are you doing this?" Carl suddenly said.

He had hoped that if the hobbit, Smeagol, could correct himself and restrain himself after leaving the Ring, he would be given a chance at a new life.

However, now it seems that he thought too much.

Gulu glanced at Carl, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

But in the end it was covered in cruelty: "Of course, Carl, my friend, I am grateful that you saved me, but, you will not understand me, yes, you will not understand our pain, Wuhu, yes, our Only you can understand the pain."

After that, Gulu sneered and said loudly: "Then accept the gift I brought to you well."

Not far from the stone path, there were already bursts of hurried footsteps, the sound was thick and heavy, and it was obvious that a large group of Orcs was coming towards them.

After Gulu finished speaking, he put away his head, and his figure disappeared among the stones.

Karl turned his head, glanced at Thorin, and said, "Sorin, Gulu betrayed us, it was caused by my suddenness."

"Now the Orcs are coming, if...you don't want to get into trouble, then please retreat first."

Carl believes that although Gollum did lead them to find the cave where humans were imprisoned, it did betray them and expose them to Orc's sight.

And Sorin came here after heeding his advice. Although Karl is not a good person, he also knows that the responsibility for this lies with him, and of course, he should also bear it.

He decided to cut the rear by himself and let Sorin and others retreat.

Then...kill all the orcs in this cave.

but,

"Haha, Karl, what are you kidding?" Sorin suddenly laughed, he let go of the anger caused by the betrayal just now, looked at Karl and said, "You think I, Sorin, would give up my comrades in arms so easily ?"

"What's more, there are a large group of innocent people here waiting for us to save, how could I leave like this?"

"So, don't say any more stupid things." After finishing speaking, Sorin turned his head and shouted at the dwarves, "My people, who would like to charge forward with me again and wipe out the underground monsters entrenched here doing evil? Lose!"

"We are willing!" The dwarves shouted loudly, raising the weapons in their hands high, shining coldly in the dark cave.

Of course, they were sincerely willing. The reason was that they all respected Thorin's wishes, and also because they really regarded Karl as one of the team's companions.

Carl rescued them from danger several times, and no matter what happened, he never asked to leave, how similar to Bilbo.

Although Carl's character is indeed a bit bad at times, he can still be

regarded as their friend.
