Chapter 279 The Great Gray Wizard, the End of His Avatar
The thunderstorm came and went quickly, but the huge noise left an indelible impression on everyone.
Whether it was the elves, dwarves, humans or orcs, they all looked at the walls of Erebor in shock, because in their cognition, only powerful wizards could use this kind of magic, and there happened to be one there.
At the same time, on the walls of Erebor, Bilbo and more than a dozen dwarves looked at Aaron blankly, with a hint of strangeness and indescribable awe in their eyes.
But more of them were glad that Gandalf had a keen eye for talent and pulled him into the expedition team. It was definitely a thief with such strength that he was wronged.
Aaron's heart jumped when he noticed the eyes of others.
He reacted instantly and looked at Gandalf with admiration.
"Why are you looking at me like this?" Gandalf asked puzzledly, but an ominous premonition lingered in his heart.
The next moment, Aaron grabbed Gandalf's right hand holding the staff and shouted loudly to the battlefield below: "Long live Gandalf, long live the grey wizard."
While shouting, he also used the amplification spell to ensure that his voice could reach everyone's ears.
The morale of the dwarves and elves instantly soared. They were not at a disadvantage even with fewer people against more people, and even faintly overwhelmed the half-orc army.
With a powerful wizard standing behind to output, they could see some hope even when facing enemies that were several times their number.
King Dain laughed happily while riding a wild boar to kill the enemy, "Gandalf the Grey, we have wizards to help us."
Thrandil frowned slightly as he looked at the top of the city. He knew Gandalf's strength, and it was not like he could use such powerful magic.
But now he had no time to satisfy his curiosity, and it was not a bad thing to improve morale.
On the contrary, the Orcs felt a little depressed. Originally, they wanted to crush the elves and dwarves with absolute advantage, but now there is an unfavorable factor in the absolute advantage.
Never underestimate the influence of a legendary wizard. It takes time to prepare powerful magic, but no one wants to experience the thunder that destroys the world.
Damn...
Gandalf came back to his senses, his face was red with anger, his face was twitching constantly, and his right hand holding the staff was even shaking violently.
Originally, he was a little happy in his heart. As long as Gaius took action, he would definitely not be able to hide.
Even if he wanted to run away halfway, the Orcs would never let him go in the future. The bounty order issued by Azog would spread throughout the continent the next day.
But he never expected that others would play this trick. This operation simply blinded his dog eyes and opened the door to a new world for him.
Gandalf has never been so glorious in his life, but he doesn't want this kind of glory at all, because behind this glory is an extremely huge pot.
It's okay to show up in front of his own troops, but the Orc army also remembered him. You can imagine what kind of terrible targeting he will face if he leaves the battlefield.
It would be fine if he won this battle today, but if he lost, his future life would definitely not be peaceful.
"Gaius, you are really..."
"Don't thank me, really don't thank me." Aaron interrupted him hurriedly, looking like I'm thinking about you, "From today on, the Grey Wizard will be famous."
"Do I need it?" Gandalf asked back with a dark face, "Do you really want to trick me like this?"
"As for." Aaron spread his hands, "I need a shield, no one is more suitable than you.
I am just a wizard with no reputation, and my deterrent power is far less than that of the Grey Wizard. Only when you stand on the wall, I will not be so conspicuous below."
Gandalf:......
But you can't just trick me, can't you let me be mentally prepared?
"Then the magic just now..." Gandalf hesitated.
"Ultimate lightning element magic." Aaron said seriously.
"No, I'm asking if you can use it again. If you can, we may win."
"I'm sorry to disappoint you." Aaron laughed, "Only the great magician can exert the power of the ultimate magic circle. With my current magic level, if I use this big move, my magic will be exhausted within ten times."
"That's fine!" Gandalf looked at the battlefield with some joy, "It's enough to eliminate some enemies, which can greatly improve our morale and reduce our pressure."
"No." Aaron refused directly, "First of all, this is a waste of time, and secondly, I'm not so selfless. At least I will leave myself some power to run away."
Gandalf was stunned, "You are really honest."
"Why don't you use powerful magic?" Aaron asked puzzled.
"Well..." Gandalf said hesitantly, "The work of wizards is more inclined to guidance and strategy, so the Vera does not allow us to use too much force, and magic is greatly restricted."
Buzz!
The horn suddenly sounded, and Azog on Raven Ridge gave another order.
"Attack, continue to attack.
Wizards are nothing special. We will win this battle. "
With his order, the Orcs, who were originally shocked by the thunder, quickly adjusted their formation and continued to move towards the Valley City.
In addition, more than a dozen giant beasts carrying slingshots came out of the cave. They bent down at a high place, and the Orcs on their backs controlled the slingshots to launch a destructive attack on the walls of the Valley Town, clearing obstacles for the Orc army.
After all, the Valley City has been abandoned for many years and has long been in ruins. Compared with the city gate, the guards of the city wall are seriously insufficient, and it is easier to kill.
Seeing this, Bard immediately ordered his troops to retreat to the city to protect his family.
"Not good." Gandalf looked solemn, "We have to support the Valley City, we must go."
"But how to get there?" Bilbo said anxiously, "There is a battlefield between us!"
"Gaius, can you help us?"
"Yes, but just the two of you can't do much.
And Gandalf, you are the spiritual support of the coalition forces now, sure..."
"That's why I have to go there even more." Gandalf's tone was unquestionable, "The retreat must be defended. After Azog has tied down the elves and dwarves, he will definitely send a large force to occupy the Dale City, which will become the second battlefield."
"I understand, I will help you." Aaron nodded, and then his body emitted a burst of white light, and half of his magic power was divided to create a thought body.
Everyone on the wall was shocked, but Bilbo seemed to have thought of something and looked at Aaron in disbelief, "Did you really fight Smaug in Long Lake Town two days ago?"
Aaron spread his hands and helplessly said that he did tell the truth at that time, but no one believed it.
The thought body went straight forward and grabbed the left and right hands of Gandalf and Bilbo, and teleported them to Bard.
"These two are reinforcements for you." The thought body said to Bard, "They will help you. "
"Wait, Gaius..." Gandalf hurriedly stopped the thought body, "You will be needed here."
"I didn't say I wouldn't stay!" The thought body said, and then looked at the side of the city wall. The ferocious Orc army was less than a hundred meters away from the city wall.
"Bard, I will try my best to buy time, but it won't last long."
"Thank you." Bard nodded heavily, and then led everyone back to the city. He had to arrange for the elderly, weak, women and children in the city as soon as possible.
The thought body moved to the arrow tower inside the city wall, and greeted the guards here in a concise manner, "Aaron Gaius, a wizard, Bard asked me to help you.
We can't hold on for long, but we can hold on as long as we can. Don't force it. "
As soon as the voice fell, he saw a giant beast speed up and charge fiercely at the city wall with its head.
"A ruthless man, no, a ruthless beast! "The thought body smacked his lips and took a deep breath, "The...roar of the fire dragon."
Boom!
Red flames gushed out of Aaron's mouth, blasting the giant beast back from a distance of dozens of meters.
At 70% maturity, he rolled on the ground several times and crushed more than ten orcs to death.
"This is much more powerful than the fire spell, but the consumption of magic power is also astonishing, so I still have to use it sparingly." The thought body thought secretly, but looking at the orc army in front of him like a tide, he immediately calmed down.
He is not Smaug. Even if he and the original body's magic power are drained, they can't kill half of the enemies.
Thinking of this, the thought body grabbed a piece of rubble and used Transfiguration to turn it into a long sword.
Soon, the orc army arrived at the gates of the city.
Several guards were extremely nervous, and a slightly younger one was even trembling all over, but still tightly grasped the bow and arrow in his hand.
They all knew very well that the orcs were extremely cruel. There is no humanity at all. Even if you surrender, you will be tortured to death. Fighting to the death is the best and only choice.
The thought body was also a little nervous, but there was a little excitement in the nervousness. He had only seen the scene of thousands of troops in movies, but now it was really in front of him.
Even though he was facing thousands of legions, he felt his blood boiling.
I remember that when he was trained by Jins before, he was evaluated as barely able to fight a hundred alone. Today, he can try the most real combat power.
"You guys." The thought body looked at the other people, "I will kill them in a while, you use bows and arrows to cover me, and retreat after the arrows are shot."
"No." The oldest man denied, "Kid, you don't know the horror of orcs. Even if you are a wizard, you can't deal with so many people."
Hearing this, the thought body smiled, "Maybe I didn't introduce it clearly just now. Aaron Gaius, the main job is wizard, and the secondary job is swordsman."
"That won't work either, you are too young.
If I must delay time, my old bones...”
“You do whatever I tell you to do.” Aaron said as he swung the sword in his hand vigorously. The cold sword light flashed and a long sword mark was drawn on the ground.
“Do you still have any opinions now?”
"No, no more." The old man's eyes twitched slightly. He was not sure if Bard was so powerful, but he was sure that he was definitely not so powerful when he was young.
"I don't mean to disrespect you at all, but don't underestimate me." The thought body patted the old man's shoulder, then jumped down from the several-meter-high wall, blocking the front of the Orc army alone.
The thought body took the initiative to attack, waving the long sword in his hand, and killed into the Orc army.
Blood gushed out wherever the sword passed, and heads rolled down. In an instant, more than ten Orcs were killed, and their clothes were stained with a layer of black blood.
At the same time, several guards on the wall also began to shoot arrows quickly to try to stop the Orcs from approaching, but facing a large number of enemy troops, the effect was destined to be a drop in the bucket.
Since the previous round of boulders had destroyed the wall, the thought body could only attract a small number of enemies, and more Orcs chose to enter the city from other directions.
The Thought Body naturally noticed this, but he was alone, and fighting hard on the front line was already helping to share the pressure on the people of Changhu Lake, and he could not help any further.
