Chapter 1222 God's Game (End of This Volume)

With a loud bang, Elrond also drew his long sword.

"Swipe!"

Rivendell's elf army was ready at once, staring at their lord with resolute faces.

Then came Lothlorien.

Thranduil then rode the big horned deer and walked a few steps forward, turned around again, and said loudly: "The shield infantry is charging ahead, the main purpose is to defend against those giant insects! The archers follow closely, and they need a distance. Shooting within 100 feet is effective, you will be the main force to attack the giant insects, and the soldiers will protect you and assist you in attacking!"

"Boom!"

The sound of elven army armor colliding.

"Don't go to war, they are numerous, we have to wait for the troops in Gondor and other regions, this time to help our allies out of the siege, and immediately retreat in an orderly manner when you hear the sound of the horn!" Thranduil said while staring at all the elves army.

The elves were silent, and only the few humans who heard Thranduil's words promised or shouted loudly.

Until a loud shout: "Charge with me!"

"Woo!! Woo!!"

The horns of the elves sounded, and with them the horns of Gondor and Rohan on the distant mountains! And the horn of Lonely Mountain followed, and the gate opened with a bang!

Thranduil, Elrond, and Lady Galadriel took the lead, and their horses charged down the hill ahead. Several divine envoys followed behind them, followed by the leaders of the armies in various regions, and finally the big army rushing down to the grasslands!

Thranduil looked up at the opposite side, the momentum of the combined forces of Gondor and Rohan was even greater, the tide of cavalry rushed down the hillside like a mountain torrent, billowing thick smoke like waves!

The earth trembled and the momentum soared to the sky!

The soldiers on the walls of Riverdale City were shouting. The acid giant insects and sneak raiders that besieged Riverdale City temporarily retreated, and the army of killer insects that went to outflank Riverdale City also turned around. From this point of view, at least Gondor and Rohan people have been successfully relieved. the crisis in Riverdale.

The giant insects on the grassland quickly met the enemy, and even sent ten steel-armored giant insects to the cavalry trend to deal with it!

The dwarves of Lonely Mountain's arrows are like rain. Although they are not as accurate as elf archers, they shoot faster and shoot at the giant insects on the grassland, making it impossible for the giant insects to approach for a while. At the gate of the city, groups of heavy infantry began to pour out, followed by spearmen and chariots, and some people were haunted by holy light.

I saw the giant insect commander in the center of the miracle grassland roared, and the giant insect on the grassland immediately moved, rushing towards the Gushan city gate, the elf army and the cavalry on the side!

They are going to meet the enemy on three sides!

In the blink of an eye, Thranduil rushed down the mountain, he immediately retracted his gaze, and concentrated on dealing with the giant insect formation in front of him.

A black giant ant the size of a buffalo swooped towards him at the front. He exhaled a long breath, and with a swipe of the sword in his hand, a silver light swept across the giant ant's upper jaw, and some green and white were spilled. Slurry!

"laugh!!"

"Squeak..."

This giant ant was different from ordinary ants, it let out a painful neigh, and immediately rushed towards him.

At this moment, a fire flashed!

"Bang!"

The giant ant was directly hit by the fire and took a few steps back. The carapace on his body was broken, and the slurry was splashed. After shaking it twice, it crashed to the ground.

Thranduil turned his head and saw Gloria, the god of fire from the Bree region, standing beside him, surrounded and protected by several adventurers with heavy shields. Instantly kill or maim it!

Just at this moment of stunned time, another giant ant rushed towards him, but it was a flash of cold light, and the giant ant was cut open, and at the same time Zelda's voice sounded beside him:

"Be careful, Your Majesty."

"You too, Zelda." Thranduil said in a deep voice, and immediately plunged into the battlefield again.

Although the divine envoys are powerful and their divine power is irresistible, after all, they are only a dozen or so people, and it is a drop in the bucket. This war still requires the lives of more soldiers!

After about half an hour of fighting, the cavalry led by Luya and Finn turned back to support, and Thranduil ordered the troops to retreat up the hillside in an orderly manner. Everyone still maintains the formation and attack, and more than a dozen gods take on the responsibility of covering the army and blocking the pursuit of giant insects.

Until they retreated to the middle of the mountain, the giant insects also retreated to the grassland and turned to attack the other two sides.

At this time, the crisis of Riverdale City was resolved, and the cavalry of Gondor and Rohan rushed into the defense of Riverdale City.

The purpose has been achieved.

But the dwarves are still fighting on the steppe.

Thranduil, Elrond, and Lady Galadriel acted decisively and commanded the army to march on the hillside towards the Lonely Mountain, preparing to attack the giant insect camp in a different direction, so as to merge with the dwarf army and enter the Lonely Mountain to rely on the fortress for defense , waiting for other armies to arrive.

It's hard, but it has to be done.

It is impossible for them to stay on the grassland at night, and they will become the prey of the giant insect army. But Gushan and River Valley City were isolated and helpless before, and they had to fight again. Now it can be said that he has forced himself into this situation.

When the horn resounded in the sky, the coalition of elves and humans began to charge on the grasslands, and the dwarves also turned around and rushed towards their troops regardless of sacrifice!

But the giant insect commander seemed to have understood their intentions long ago, and the giant insects ran almost at the same time, rushing towards the combined army of the dwarf army and the elf humans.

The killer bugs that besieged River Valley City also began to retreat, which again gave the troops in River Valley City a dilemma.

Is it out of the city to give up the fort to aid allies? But it is easy to fall into the trap of giant insects!

Or hide in it and sit back and watch as allies are attacked by the main force of giant insects? In this way, although you can avoid your own troubles, the allied forces of elves, dwarves and other regions will completely withstand the attack of the giant insects!

A bug has played them round and round!

Under the crisis, Rohan's marshal gave a ruthless order, and Rohan's light cavalry went out of the city again to relieve the pressure on allies!

"Wow!"

Hearing Rohan's horn, the allied forces of elves, dwarves, and other regions instantly felt a little more hopeful!

But they didn't see that some of the giant insects detoured to both sides of the river valley city, but stopped in place without rushing, waiting for the Rohan cavalry to leave the city, waiting for the Rohan to echo them, and then cut off the Rohan who left the city. Surrounded!

The Rohan knew this, but they still had to scream and charge forward to relieve the pressure on their allies on the opposite side.

...

At the same time, the horn of Rohan sounded behind Thranduil again, and a cavalry of Rohan appeared on the hillside, less than a league away from them.

Thranduil did not expect that the Rohans had left a troop on the hillside before they attacked Riverdale, just in time to help their side attack the giant insect camp! ——Most of the allied forces of elves and humans are infantry and lack the strength to collide.

"The sheep cavalry of the dwarves has left the city!"

"The Rohans are charging, keep up!"

Thranduil heard various mixed voices beside him, and he also held up his sword and charged down!

"Come on!"

The rumbling sound became the main theme of heaven and earth.

It sounds like a heart-wrenching story, but only they know how tragic it is.

Elves are a class that is good at defense, but lacks offense and mobility. Rohan Qingqi needed to go forward and backward to break through the defense of the giant insects. One after another spears were inserted, and people turned on their backs. Some giant insects were even able to fight when they were inserted into hedgehogs. The human army is not sophisticated enough to be a great leader.

The envoys are powerful, but they are too few...

When Thranduil led the people and horses to join the dwarves' sheep cavalry, a large number of corpses of elves, humans and warhorses were left behind, and the road ahead was densely covered with dwarven warriors. Vibrant colors.

The giant insects died in battle, but only two or three hundred...

Thranduil's face was heavy.

When they climbed the Gushan city wall, they saw from a distance in the direction of River Valley City, a Rohan cavalry of several thousand people was besieged by giant insects on the miracle grassland. They fought and charged, but it was difficult for them to break through the siege of the giant insects and return to River Valley City, and the giant insects continued to move troops there, resulting in the rapid decline of the Rohan cavalry.

"They went out of the city to reinforce us before, preventing the giant insects from transferring troops to Gushan, but the purpose of the giant insects is to let them out of the city." said Balin, who stayed behind the lonely mountain, "When they first left the city, they had at least ten thousand people, and now they have It's almost gone."

"boom!"

Thorin punched the wall!

Thranduil also clenched his fists tightly, his face as frosty.

The Kingdom of Rohan could be said to have dispatched the entire army this time, but they did not expect that the war would be trapped in 10,000 people! This is definitely a heavy blow to Rohan, who is similar to the nomadic people!

And... to echo their actions!

"Now we can only defend with all our strength, order the troops to sort out the casualties." Thranduil said in a deep voice.

Soon casualties lay before them.

The elves of the Woodland Kingdom, Rivendell and Lothlorien lost more than 7,000 in the breakout of less than two leagues just now, and nearly half of the combined human and hobbit forces were killed and wounded. The dwarves who echoed with them Under the cover of the war machine, more than 3,000 people were killed in action.

This is simply horrible!

If this goes on, Middle-earth will soon be emptied!

Everyone's faces were as cold as death.

It's dusk now, the battle is temporarily suspended, only a small attack remains, and the giant insects are waiting for the darkness to come.

Thranduil walked towards the city wall, only to see that in the grassland below, giant insects were gnawing at the bodies of the warriors, and even transporting them to Mount Gundaba.

They are not in a hurry.

Thranduil knew this.

Because they are growing too fast, while their own side is constantly dying, the longer it drags on, the better it will be for them, and the more unfavorable it will be for their side...

There was another battle that night, and it didn't stop until dawn, and the city walls were broken down by a large gap.

It was also on this night that Anyang heard countless prayers and help, and felt the grief and hesitation of countless people, which made him want to give up his mission for a while. But things have come to this point, and it is difficult to stop.

He could only dream of everyone in a bright and gentle image, telling them that he would solve the giant worm and let them last for a while. And implied that they surrendered, temporarily bowed their heads to the giant insect, and told them that the giant insect would soon be destroyed by its own divine power.

During the day, the giant eagle and the skin-changer rushed to the battlefield, but this time the opponents were no longer orcs, and the assistance of the giant eagle and the skin-changer was still a drop in the bucket.

A week later, Lonely Mountain and River Valley City are in jeopardy.

Gondor's heavy infantry, mainly the Spring Guards, and the cavalry, mainly the Swan Knights, arrived one after another, and also brought a small number of Rohan's cavalry to support the Lonely Mountain battlefield.

The next day, people from the Arno region also arrived here, as well as the treemen who were invited by Redagast in the Fagon Forest.

They joined the battlefield, but remained vulnerable.

On the last night, the battle was unprecedentedly fierce, the coalition forces and the giant insects suffered heavy losses, and they ushered in an ally that no one expected——

The Dunlanders, who have been at war with the Rohan for many years and have long been hostile to the free races of Middle-earth;

Gondor's mortal enemy, the barbarians of the East;

It is a pity that this is destined to be an unwinnable war, and the more troops invested in it will only make it more tragic.

About half a month later, the Hobbits who believed in the teachings of the God of Origin were the first to surrender. When they put down their weapons and walked out of the gate of Lonely Mountain, they shouted the words of surrender in fear, but the ferocious giant insect forcibly restrained the urge to attack under the suppression of the commander, and they were certain that the God of Origin did not lie to them.

How proud Thranduil was, but under the oppression of the situation, he had to bow his head like these beasts.

He only hoped that what the god said was right, otherwise he would inevitably lead the elves to raise troops to resist!

It's just that it's probably too late then.

The woodland elves have believed in the oracle of the God of Origin, and one after another, other races have also chosen to give up their resistance...

Middle-earth is slowly falling.

The giant insect conquered the land by controlling the leaders of the various regions. Most of the remnants of the army were left in the Lonely Mountain, and a few unloaded their armor and weapons and were put back. But everyone knows that since such an all-out war has failed, it is impossible for Middle-earth to have the power to resist these giant insects for a hundred years.

Not even ever again!

At the same time, Anyang's mission was also declared complete.

The leaders of the three elves, the king of Rohan and the regent of Gondor, the king under the mountain, the leader of the eastern barbarians, the leader of Dunland, Gloria, Baggins... and other leaders of the resistance army were all imprisoned by giant insects in the solitary place. A secret room in the mountain was strictly guarded, but they did not sit still.

Free beings would rather die than be slaves, but now there are war horses or intelligent creatures that are eaten by giant insects every day. They are determined that if the God of Origin fails to destroy the giant worm, they will open Lonely Mountain's secret arsenal and start another fight for freedom.

But some people noticed that the giant insects in Lonely Mountain were decreasing every day, but they didn't know if they went to other places or what. The believers of the god of origin had to pray day and night, and their god gave them answers every night.

Finally, on the first day that the winter snow covering Middle-earth melted, a spring breeze blew across the land. Gloria opened her eyes and looked at the empty corridor in front of the cell with disbelief.

"I heard my god say to me that the giant worm has been wiped out, and peace... has come again!"

"I heard it too!"

"Me too! God also said that all the creatures who died in the war, as long as he can find the souls of those people, will reshape the bodies for those people and bring them back to life!"

They opened the door and walked out, only to see the bodies of several giant insects collapsed on the corner of the corridor. They looked at each other, only to see each other's eyes full of excitement.

Go out, the world is clear and bright!

Peace and spring come hand in hand, everything is like a dream, even the scorching sun above my head seems like a lifetime.
