Chapter 520 Big Eagle!
To put it bluntly, the Orcs' strategy for hunting giants is to attack from a distance or from a distance. First, relying on the powerful mobility of the wargs and the slow attack speed of the giants,
Conduct targeted attacks and harassment on the weak points of the giant's Achilles tendons and ankles, and use a large number of long-range bows and arrows to kill them.
It's a pity that the orcs arrived in a hurry this time and did not bring a large number of archers with them, so the wolf cavalry could only engage in close combat.
After the giant's feet were severely injured and unable to stand and walk, the large army swarmed up and easily killed the giant completely.
But the rest of the Gushan Army did not just stand there and watch stupidly. A group of people directly surrounded Makarov, protecting his lower body from attacks.
Makarov relied on his huge size to carry out medium and long-range attacks, intercepting the large orc army.
In this way, the Gushan Army only needs to face the remaining small and more flexible troops and protect Makarov from the Wolf Cavalry.
The battle lasted for about a quarter of an hour. Gandalf seemed to feel something and immediately shouted: "It's time to retreat, jump under the cliff!"
After saying that, Gandalf jumped off the cliff regardless.
"Chirp~~~"
The loud eagle call sounded in the air, and the big eagle easily caught the falling Gandalf and lifted him up.
Then, dozens of large eagles that covered the sky descended from the sky. Their wings quickly passed over the orc troops, knocking the orcs staggering around.
The sharp giant claws easily caught the warg in the air and tore it into pieces several times. The big eagle even knocked down the big tree by the roots and killed the orc.
The big eagles kept attacking the orc troops, giving the Gushan army time to escape.
Shaw grabbed Bilbo by the collar, threw him off the cliff, and jumped after him.
"Chirp~~"
The eagle spread its wings, quickly caught the two of them, and flew towards the black forest.
"Ahhhh~~~"
Azog stood on the edge of the cliff, watching Fei Yuan behind everyone, and let out a crazy roar,
"Wow oh oh~~~"
However, the Gushan Army on the other side sat on the big eagle and cheered in victory.
"Catch them!"
Azog waved his hand vigorously, driving the white warg to start running wildly.
The big eagle did not escort the people to fly very far. It just left the Misty Mountains and arrived at the border of the Black Forest before leaving again.
"Why don't you let those eagles send us directly to Lonely Mountain?"
Laxus asked with some dissatisfaction as he looked at the nearly endless black forest.
"That's the Great Eagle, the messenger of Lord Manwe, an eagle-shaped Maia. They only help me for the sake of being my colleagues, and I can't order them directly!"
Gandalf shrugged helplessly and introduced the identity of the eagle to everyone.
"Clam???"
Everyone was shocked for a while. They didn't expect that those eagles were all demigods. It was unbelievable. When did demigods become so worthless?
"Let's go, it's a long road ahead, we need to find a friend to help?"
Gandalf sighed, checked the direction, and walked towards the south of the Black Forest.
The Black Forest, formerly known as the Great Green Forest, was renamed after being invaded by the giant dark spiders and dark forces. It is the largest forest in the northern world.
The entire forest is divided by old jungle roads.
To the north is the dark dense forest, to the south is the old dense forest.
Mirkwood is a place completely eroded by the power of darkness, and is jointly controlled by the elves and giant spiders of the Woodland Kingdom.
Due to the maintenance of the brown-robed wizard, the green forest cannot be eroded by the power of darkness and still retains its original green space.
And near the green forest, there is also a skin-changer living: Bion.
Skin-changers are a kind of blood force similar to the Druid profession. They are hardworking, kind-hearted, and good at planting and herding animals. When they encounter danger, they can also turn into giant bears.
Beorn is an existence that hates dwarves very much, because dwarves are selfish and greedy, but compared to dwarves, Beorn hates orcs more.
Because of their own characteristics, the skin-changers were hunted down by the orcs and became the object of their entertainment.
Beorn's parents and siblings were all poisoned by the orcs, and he would definitely support whoever could defeat the orcs.
The Lonely Mountain Army and his party repaired some things at Beon's home, and then got another supply of horses from Gandalf.
A group of people rode horses and quickly arrived at the entrance of the dark forest.
Looking at the dark and twisted forest, everyone felt frightened.
Dark, damp, with twisted trees and miasma visible to the naked eye everywhere, as if countless dead souls were wailing in it.
It is not difficult to imagine how many people this forest has 'eaten'.
"Do we have to go in?"
"Unless we go two hundred miles around to get to the north, or go twice as long to get to the south!"
Gandalf replied helplessly. However, at this moment, Gandalf received some kind of message, which forced Gandalf to leave to find the truth on the other side.
"There are not only green forests in the dark forest, but also a stream full of dark magic. Don't touch the water. You can only walk on the stone bridge. The air in the forest is turbid and psychedelic. You must walk along the road. Once you walk If it’s broken, you’ll never get out!”
Before leaving, Gandalf was like an old mother, constantly telling everyone how to cross the dark forest.
"Let's go!"
Thorin stood in front of everyone and began to lead the way. He kept tapping the ground with his stick to check the location of the stone path to ensure that he was walking on the right path.
However, the unexpected happened. The stone bridge that could have crossed the magic stream broke in front of them, and everyone could only move forward through the winding vines.
"Let's give it a try!"
Gray and Juvia stood up at this moment, and the two of them cast magic together at the bridge.
One of them mastered water magic, and the other mastered ice modeling magic.
"The water here has been cast with powerful black magic, and it may be difficult to control it!!"
Juvia felt the power of the stream and couldn't help but warn in advance that the quality of the dark magic here was very high, and it would be difficult for her to control it.
"I will use light magic to cut off the dark power, Juvia, cast the spell as soon as possible!"
Makarov said, and a strong holy light bloomed on his body. The holy light fell into the magic stream, and it was like boiling oil in cold water, and the whole thing exploded, but it finally cleared a small part of the dark magic in the water.
"Water Shape: Bridge!"
Juvia found the right time and immediately condensed the scattered water into a bridge for people to pass through. In order to avoid the backlash of the magic stream, Juvia directly built the water bridge on both sides.
"Ice Shape: Freeze!"
A strong chill burst out from Gray's hands, freezing the water bridge into ice and turning it into a solid ice sled.
"Oh, well done!"
The three of them worked together to build an ice bridge with magic, which immediately won the praise of a group of dwarves, who praised Xiao for finding these helpers. It was really great.
