The Journey of the Demon Hunter

Azog looked at the battlefield below angrily, turned around and shouted at the herald behind.

"Let the army behind attack the flanks! Destroy the elves! Send war beasts to immediately clear the tunnel, attack their flanks, surround the dwarves, and destroy the elves!"

Following the desecrator's order, the harsh horn sounded again on the wasteland of the lone mountain. The orcs who had been rushing toward the dwarves began to separate. They began to play their numerical advantages. They began to march from the nearby hillside, trying to surround the advancing dwarves, bypassing the group of dwarves and directly attacked the elves behind. At the same time, in the crypt of the orcs, two giant ogres almost as tall as an adult rushed out. They were fully armed and even had trebuchets behind them. Each trebuchet was operated by three goblins.

This time, when the elves shot a new round of arrow rain, huge stones and arrow rain smashed into the battlefield at the same time. In an instant, the dwarf’s shield wall was smashed through several gaps, and the black orcs immediately began to compete with the dwarves who came from behind. The gap, trying to take the opportunity to completely shred the front of the dwarves.

The 761st chapter horseback riding and slashing

"Form the Sangar shield formation!"

Thranduil rode an elk and ran past the elves. These elven soldiers heard his command and immediately began to act. Formed in front of the array of a shield wall reflecting the golden light of the sun.

The orcs hit the elves’ defense line. This golden shield wall is completely different from the dwarves. The elves’ large shields form a **** with spears exposed. The charge of these heavily armored orcs. Many orcs tried to climb up the slope, dodge the spears that kept stabbing out and jumped behind the direction of the elf. Someone succeeded, but when they fell behind, they were greeted by a row of elven warriors holding long knives.

These orcs who survived the shield wall spears just jumped off, and the bloodthirsty joy on their faces had not faded, and they were cut in half by the elf warrior from bottom to top with a long knife in midair.

But these orcs soon realized that the trouble they had to face was not just the elves. The dwarven goat cavalry who covered the flanks rushed in towards the weakest side of the group of orcs, and they slammed in like a heavy hammer. In the crowd of beasts, this group of orcs was smashed to pieces. These cavalrymen are like a plow, galloping back and forth among the crowd of beasts, the axes and spears in their hands are constantly harvesting the lives of the orcs.

These specially tamed goats are very fast. Some orcs tried to pounce on the goat cavalry or pull down the dwarves, but most of them were hit by the goat’s horns before they could get close, or they were hit by the dwarves’ hammers. Smash his head.

"Wolf! Let the wolf cavalry attack and kill the dwarves!"

Following the command from the horn, a group of orcs riding black wolves slew towards the dwarf goat cavalry. The goat cavalry noticed the group of orcs, and they immediately turned around, protruding from the other side, and led the wolves to other places to prevent these wolves from breaking into their line of defense. The two cavalry teams left the battlefield and broke into the wasteland near the valley to fight.

The roar of war echoed in the valley between River Valley City and Gushan. The tall ogre warrior ran, and the ground trembled. Defiler Azog stood at the top of Crow Ridge and looked at the battlefield below. The elves and dwarves did not become confused by its raid, but immediately began to turn their guns to attack the orcs. Obviously, this group of people had been prepared. He wants to find a breakthrough as soon as possible and defeat these dwarves and elves in one fell swoop. Azog stared at the battlefield below and kept issuing new orders.

"Let the beast of war destroy the shield wall!"

The pale orc's command was passed to the orc army with the changing bone wings and horn behind it. Ogres, these huge creatures joined the battle. They wielded sticks like uprooted trees, and the entire shield wall collapsed. No matter how tough the dwarves were, they couldn’t fight against the huge ogres. They Every blow of the swinging stick seemed like a stone directly hitting the dwarves' front line, and even directly knocked many dwarves into the sky.

At this time, the three dwarven chariots rushed out from the back of the dwarf’s phalanx. They did not directly rush into the orc army, but stopped behind the shield wall, and used the large continuous crossbows on the chariot to shoot close to the shield. The ogre of the wall. These ogres are huge in size and tenacious in vitality, but even so, when the crossbow arrows pierced their chests and pierced their hearts, these ogres had to cover their chests and fall to the ground.

"They can't fight in two lines." Azog walked to the other side of Raven Ridge, looking at the huge River Valley City. Break the retreat of dwarves and elves!"

Accompanied by the sound of the horn, the orc army waiting to be put on the battlefield under Crow Ridge began to march in the direction of River Valley City. More and more war beasts appeared in the tunnels, and these huge monsters with slings fixed behind them marched towards River Valley City along with the orc army. Most of the city defenses of Iruba rely on the rock walls of Gushan. If the trebuchets are meaningless in front of Gushan, but the walls of River Valley City have been in disrepair for a long time, they cannot withstand such an attack.

Azog is not worried that the militias of River Valley will cause trouble to his orc army.As long as the orcs break through the wall and enter the city, the elves under the lone mountain will inevitably return to the river valley, otherwise their connection with the dense forest will be cut off, losing the king and legion. , The orc army can conquer the woodland kingdom in one fell swoop. As long as the elves retreat, the dwarf who has lost the support of the elves will not last long in front of his powerful army.

"War!!!"

The beasts of war lined up on the hillside outside the valley city. The goblins on their backs were operating the trebuchets. With an order, more than a dozen boulders traversed an arc in mid-air, using wooden machinery. It started with a squeak, followed by a whistling sound, and finally ended with a rumbling sound. The huge boulder smashed into the river valley city, and the buildings that were originally damaged by Smaug's attack collapsed under the power of the huge boulder, and the city was splashed with smoke and dust.

When the orcs approached the wall, the archers standing on the tower and the wall began to shoot at the approaching enemy. The shooting level of this team of militia archers is naturally far inferior to the elite shooters of the elves, and even not as good as the crossbowmen of the dwarves, but there are too many orcs, and the approach speed is too fast. They have no time to aim and do not need to aim, but this is zero. The scattered arrows could hardly resist the approaching footsteps of the orcs.

"Be careful! Ogre!"

The almost dry stream outside the valley city could no longer be used as a moat, and the orcs strode over the river to resist. I saw among the group of orcs, an ogre wearing a pointed hat carved from a huge stone rushed out first. It roared and lowered its head, rushing towards the weakest part of the city wall, trying to bombard it by the huge stone. The precarious city walls were completely destroyed.

The orcs stood under the city wall and waited, waiting for the ogre to destroy the city wall, and they could rush into the city to kill. Inside were just a group of shivering fishermen and refugees hiding behind a stone wall. They could not resist the well-armed elite orc warriors. It is easy to seize the city, and then they can swarm out from the gate on the other side to flick back and forth against the elves and dwarves that are surrounded in front of the Iruba Valley.

But what these orcs saw was not the hole smashed by the ogre. I saw a ball of fire burst from the ogre's knees, exploding most of its legs. The ogre lost his balance and fell to the ground wailing. Above the city wall, Zelin reloaded the crossbow with new bursting bolts. He has been here waiting for the orcs to appear. Thanks to the invisible Bilbo, when the orcs began to march towards River Valley, the hobbit used the signal arrow given to him by the demon hunter to warn him.

Chapter 762: Greetings from another world

Looking at the orcs crowding in the river under the city wall, Zelin turned and waved to the militiamen who were ready behind him.

"Carry up those logs!"

Following the command of the demon hunters, the militiamen under the wall worked together to move the wood that had been chopped into rounds to the wall. With their heads shrunk, they flew over the boulders from time to time and smashed into the city. Zelin squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the beast of war standing on the **** that was constantly bombarding the city. River Valley City’s preparations for the war are a bit hasty. If they have enough time, they can return to the Long Lake and cut down some trees to make a trebuchet. From the city, they can counter the monsters outside the city instead of standing there. These stone-sling monsters here have no power to fight back.

The militiamen walked to the edge of the city wall and threw the log from the city wall. Zelin raised the crossbow, aimed at the rolling wood and shot a few arrows in succession. The moment the rolling wood was hit by the arrow, the flame instantly engulfed the wood. These orcs did not expect flames to appear. When the orcs facing the firewood turned and fled, the wood rolling down the **** directly pressed them underneath and ran over the orcs.

Zelin shook his head. If he hadn't used too many materials and props when dealing with Smaug, he would be able to create more useful traps to deal with the orcs. Perhaps an explosion trap is meaningless to Smaug, but it can kill several orcs.

"The archers go to the east wall and suppress the orcs near the wall!"

Standing on the wall, Zelin could clearly see the orc army attacking River Valley City. The black orc pressed against the wall from all directions. There were too many of them, even if the demon hunter could temporarily repel them during this section of the wall. Other places also face a large number of orcs' attacks.

On the other side of the city wall, Bud is leading the militia to attack the ogres who are trying to get close. Some huge ogres try to climb up the city wall, or lie under the city wall, causing many orcs to step on their backs and jump onto the outer rocks of River Valley City. Wall. Bud used a sword to chop off an ogre's finger on the wall, but then more orcs rushed up from other locations.

There are too many of them.

A huge rock hit the tower next to the demon hunter, and the wall hit by the tower was instantly shattered. It was cut off from the middle, and the upper part fell over in the direction where Zelin was. The shadow under his feet was getting bigger and bigger, and the demon hunter looked around. Before the tower hit him, he jumped to the edge of the city wall in one step, and then jumped to the top of the house beside the city wall in the second step. At the moment he jumped up, he could hear the loud noise of the tower behind hitting the city wall. The rubble was scattered and collapsed. Several rubble hit the back of the demon hunter. He felt as if he was being severely hit behind him. Fortunately, the master's armor was enough to block these stones.

Zelin was on the edge of the roof, grabbing a dead vine and sliding it down. The vine snapped and broke when he was halfway through the slide, but fortunately, the height of less than two meters was left, and he could handle it.

"Is anyone hurt?!"

There were some splashed dust nearby, stepping on the ground covered with snow and gravel, Zelin shouted to the surroundings.

"Someone has a broken leg, he is bleeding!"

"Help me, my hand hurts!"

The dust obscured the sight, and the demon hunters could only judge the location of these people by sound, but since they could hear their own voices, that was enough.

"Let all the injured people withdraw to the chamber, where someone will help take care of them, and everyone will help. The archers and all the people with shields in their hands, go to the wall, don't let the orcs climb up!"

The scale of River Valley City is very large, which means that it has a long and dilapidated wall. What they want is to try to block the orcs with the help of the wall. At least before the orcs break through the walls, they should rely on the walls as much as possible to weaken the orcs.

But not all the orcs are attacking the city wall. A group of heavily armed orcs is marching along the stone bridge over the river towards the gate of the valley city. This is the weakest part of the city wall. The gate was destroyed by Dragon Flame in the attack of Smaug. After the survivors came to the ruins of the city, they did not have time to repair the gate. Now they just used wooden stakes and planks to piece together temporarily. The orcs did not need to attack. City equipment, their weapons can destroy this simple temporary defense.

No militia stood in front of the orcs, as if humans already knew that it was impossible to stop the orcs on the bridge. These orcs rushed toward the gate, only when the orcs walked to the middle of the stone bridge, they noticed that an old man in a gray robe was holding a sword in one hand and a staff in the other blocking their way.

The orcs uttered crazy roars, and they couldn't wait to kill humans, elves and dwarves, and kill any creatures in the Lonely Mountain. Gandalf looked at the orc who was rushing towards him. He raised his staff and then squeezed the staff against the bridge.

"You can't go there!"

The fine cracks are centered on the place where the staff hits, and spread to the left and right sides of the stone bridge at a speed visible to the naked eye. The orc in the front stepped and raised the blade, and was about to smash Gandalf's head. It's just that he could not cut it down. The bridge deck under the orcs' feet suddenly collapsed. The entire stone bridge was demarcated by the position where Gandalf was standing. The bridge on the other side seemed to be hit by an invisible sledgehammer and became A pile of rubble, the orcs on the top and the broken bridge fell into the river below, and then was buried by the falling stones. The black blood spread from under the gravel, and injected the only stream of water into the dry river.

The orcs are also fighting on two fronts. River Valley must hold these orcs, hoping that the elves and dwarves outside the lone mountain will first defeat the orc army in front of them, and finally destroy the orcs trapped near the city with the humans of River Valley. But the prerequisite for all this is that they must sustain it and keep the city amidst waves of fierce offensives by the orcs.

When the horn on Crow Ridge sounded again, more ogres rushed towards River Valley City. Before long, under the bombardment of one huge boulder after another, a section of Hegucheng's long-damaged city wall was finally unsupported and collapsed after being hit by a huge boulder.

"Advance!" Azog saw the battle in River Valley City. He opened his arms and shouted loudly, "Capture River Valley City immediately and kill all the humans in it!"

Groups of orcs swarmed into the gap, and the ogre grabbed both sides of the gap, trying to expand the hole to a larger area. But at this moment, the low end of the stone tower near the gap suddenly made a muffled noise, and fire burst from the inside. This old and damaged tower collapsed, and the gap and the influx of orcs were crushed together with a bang. Below.

Not far away, Zelin regretfully glanced at the few Zag's magic scrolls left in his hand, turned and walked towards the gates guarded by Bud.

Chapter 763 Retreat

On the stone wall of Irub, the dwarves of the expeditionary team, already fully armed, are preparing to go down the ropes that carry gold to help those of their clan who are fighting with the orcs outside. The horn of war echoed in the wasteland, and the shouts of the Turin tribe overwhelmed the angry roars of the orcs. Dyne wielded his hammer with iron feet, and rode a huge wild boar across the orcs, his hammer head was already covered with orcs' blood.

"Come on! The door of **** has been opened, fighting to the last minute!"

No orc can stop the charging dwarf, and Dyne's hammer shattered the heads of orcs who tried to stop him. The waves of the orcs continued to impact the dwarf's position. When a large number of ogres joined the battle, the scale of victory began to tilt towards the orcs. These behemoths crushing dwarves and elves in strength and physique can knock several dwarf warriors into the air with each blow.
