Chapter 278: The Bravery of the Dwarves, the Pride of the Elves

"Since the king has spoken, I will definitely give him this face." Dain said cheerfully, and immediately ordered the Ironfoot Army to march to the city gate.

Aaron breathed a sigh of relief and teleported to the city wall.

Although the process was a bit exciting, the result was still good, at least there was no fighting.

Thorin immediately ordered the dwarves around him to open the city gate and prepare to welcome the Ironfoot Army into the city.

But at this time, a violent sound came from the hillside in the distance, and the deafening sound attracted everyone's attention.

"It looks like a ground snake." Gandalf's face changed drastically, "They must have cooperated with the orcs."

The next moment, several huge and hideous sandworms suddenly drilled out of the cave, and the densely packed sharp teeth in their mouths bit the hard boulders into pieces.

But they did not launch an attack. After a brief appearance, they shrank back, leaving several huge caves on the mountain.

"Gandalf, don't tell me that our next enemies are all of this size." Aaron couldn't help swallowing his saliva. If Gandalf dared to say "yes", he promised to run away without saying anything.

"There are definitely enemies of huge size, but not too many. The main force of the enemy is still the orcs." Gandalf looked at the huge holes and murmured, "And they are already here."

"You mean the orcs will come out of those holes?" Aaron looked at the holes in disbelief, and was also a little shocked by Azog's tactics. He actually dug the tunnel directly to the edge of the lonely mountain.

He was somewhat fortunate that the elves, humans and dwarves did not fight, otherwise the orcs would definitely hit the three parties hard if they seized the opportunity.

At the same time, he also doubted Azog's IQ. In this situation, a little trick can make the elves and dwarves kill each other. Could it be that the blood of the orcs does not allow them to reap the benefits?

"Forward! My army."

At the same time, on the distant Raven Ridge, Azog the Destroyer called out to the army, they were going to wipe out humans, dwarves and elves in one fell swoop.

The huge banner was unfurled, and the loud horn sounded. Countless orc legions rushed out of the tunnels dug by the earth snakes.

"The devil is coming to fight us, fight, fight, descendants of Durin."

Dain immediately turned around and led the Ironfoot Army to meet the enemy. Although he didn't like elves, he knew that the orcs were the real enemies.

The number of the Ironfoot Army was far less than that of the orcs, but they were fearless. They built a shield wall in the shortest time, and the spears passed through the gaps in the shield wall, ready to fight.

"I want to join the battle, who will go with me." Fili said.

"Okay! Let's go, let's go." Dwalin shouted loudly, and the other dwarves agreed.

"No one is allowed to go." Thorin said suddenly.

"What? Are we just standing by and watching?" Groin asked in astonishment.

"I told you not to go," Thorin stressed.

The dwarves were stunned when they heard this. They couldn't believe that Thorin would give such an order.

"You want the gold, right?" Aaron looked at him meaningfully. "Even if you see your compatriots die in battle, you don't want to go over and help?"

Thorin was stunned for a moment, did not answer, and walked down the wall by himself.

"How could he become like this?" Balin had the illusion that his faith had collapsed. He had always believed that Thorin would become a qualified king and revive the dwarves, but now Thorin's performance made him heartbroken.

"He is stronger than his grandfather. Gold can't deceive him."

"It's not that I don't believe him, but why now?" Balin said bitterly, "Our compatriots are fighting bloody battles, but we have to stand by and watch."

"There is no time more suitable than now." Aaron patted his shoulder, "If it were peacetime, he would be devoured by gold and be in a daze for a long time.

But now the dwarves are facing a huge crisis. If he has any conscience, he can't turn a blind eye to it."

"But it takes time." Balin looked at the Iron Foot Army below who were waiting in full battle array, "We... what we lack most is time."

"Then let's make the time shorter." Aaron said meaningfully, "Take advantage of this Take some time to organize some profound lines, go over and scold him harshly, and try to wake him up. "

"Will this work?" Fili asked, "Thorin is very stubborn."

"There is a saying in Gaius's ancestral precepts: Language is the most lethal weapon in the world." Aaron said meaningfully, "As long as you are eloquent enough, coupled with realistic acting skills, and a few tears that can fully express emotions when necessary, you can scold the gods into autism."

"Let's talk about that unrealistic thing later." Bilbo interrupted Aaron anxiously, "Elves, they don't seem to plan to fight."

Everyone looked closely, and the elves and human coalition forces kept a wait-and-see attitude in front of the Dale City, and did not move.

"Thrandil." Gandalf shouted angrily, "You can't do this."

"I'll go!" Aaron spread his hands, "I'm just a hard-working person!"

The black and white space vortex swept Aaron in, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the elves.

"Thrandil, you can't do this." Aaron used the same tone as Gandalf, "I know you have the opportunity to retreat with your back to the city of Dale, but you won't retreat forever.

Gandalf made it very clear yesterday. I don't know what the old country of Angmar in the north is, but I know that after the orcs revive that country, humans, elves, and dwarves will all face a catastrophe."

"The brave dwarfs don't allow themselves to rush in second." Thranduil said a little unhappy, "But the pride of the elves won't let them hide behind the dwarves."

Aaron was stunned for a moment and saluted Thranduil respectfully.

Then he stepped aside wisely and made way for the elves.

Seeing this, Bard on the side also wanted to bring people over to help.

"You have to stay here." Aaron stopped him and said.

"But..."

"No buts, there are too many orcs, and you guys can't even make a splash if you join in.

Although I don't want to say this, we need a way out, in case the dwarves and elves lose." Aaron said solemnly, "This is not pessimism, this is a fact, and there should be many old people and children in the city."

Bard nodded in a daze, then looked at Aaron, "Can you help us?"

"I can only say I will do my best." Aaron didn't finish his words. He is now just a high-level magician. He can protect himself on such a battlefield, but he can't affect the trend of a war at all.

After speaking, Aaron moved to the wall of Erebor.

"What did you say to Thranduil?" Gandalf asked.

"Nothing." Aaron looked at the elf army rushing towards the dwarf army, and couldn't help but sighed, "Thrandil is much wiser than I thought.

Although his personality is a little cold and his domineering attitude makes people dislike him, there is no doubt that he is a qualified king."

"Of course he is a qualified king." Gandalf said as a matter of course, "Thrandil has protected his people for several epochs."

"Great." Aaron raised his black magic wand and waved his arms at the distant sky.

"What are you doing?" Gandalf asked.

"You ask even though you know the answer." Aaron curled his lips in disdain, "I am a wizard, of course I fight with magic."

Gandalf:......

This is embarrassing.

He is also a wizard, and his magic power is only stronger than Aaron, but his combat power is a real flaw.

On the battlefield, just when the Orc Army was about to confront the Ironfoot Army head-on, the Elf Army suddenly jumped out from the top of the dwarfs and came to the front to fight with the Orcs.

The Ironfoot Army was not to be outdone, and picked up their spears and resolutely charged into the enemy.

The two races that originally disliked each other became friends at this moment, fighting side by side against the Orc Legion, and the three forces fought together.

"Send out the war beasts."

Azog ordered calmly, and the war beasts several meters high slowly walked out of the huge cave. With their huge bodies, they rushed on the battlefield, causing huge casualties to the elves and dwarves.

Seeing this, Thranduil immediately ordered the elven archers to attack.

A round of golden arrows was like a downpour, and several war beasts and dozens of orcs were killed instantly.

At the same time, the dwarves also sent chariots into the battlefield. The wheel hub was extremely lethal, destroying a large number of orcs at once.

But the chariots were soon targeted by the beasts. They used their bodies as meat shields to block the goats pulling the chariots, and then overturned the chariots from the side.

Without the chariot, the cavalry instantly fell into an absolute disadvantage and was submerged in the enemy's formation in the blink of an eye.

"They can't fight on two fronts." Azog saw that the Valley Town was a place that neither the dwarves nor the elves could take care of on Raven Ridge, and immediately issued a military order, "Start now and attack the Valley City."

Hearing the sound of the horn, a team of orcs who had been resting and recuperating saw the flag signal, immediately turned around and marched towards the Valley Town.

Once the Valley Town was lost, the dwarves, elves and humans would have no way out, and facing the huge number of orcs, there would be only one way to die.

"Damn it." Aaron said angrily, "I knew Azog would definitely arrange it this way."

"Bard and the others won't last long." Gandalf said worriedly, "Humans don't have many warriors at all."

"But they have to fight to the death. Before that, I will help them reduce the combat power of the orc army."

As the voice fell, a giant magic circle took shape in the sky, and the dark purple light shone on the earth.

Zizizizizi

Purple arcs flickered in the air. The Orcs marching towards the River Valley Town felt a huge crisis and stopped.

Boom!

The next moment, violent purple lightning fell from the magic circle.

Purple lightning flowers bloomed in the Orc army, and the surrounding sky was painted purple, but this gorgeous color contained the power to destroy everything.

Ah!

Huge screams came one after another, and one-tenth of the Orc army attacking River Valley City fell to the ground under the baptism of thunder.

They were charred all over by the lightning, and the black smoke emitted from their corpses was even more disgusting.
