Chapter 173: The World War That Broke Out in Advance 2 [Two in One]
On the plains of Gogros,
Thick volcanic clouds shrouded this vast and gloomy land all year round.
At the foot of the apocalyptic active volcano,
The cold and solemn black city of Modo is like the strongest fortress in the world,
Quietly nestled in this land of dead silence and evil.
In the towering dark and icy tower,
The pale orc, tall and much taller than the average orc, Asog was striding towards the top of the tower.
It didn't take long for Asog's figure to appear in the topmost tower.
In front of him, there was a figure that was getting darker and darker.
"Report to the master, the news that has been detected by us."
"The human kingdom of Gondor, and the armies of the Rohan kingdom have been moving frequently recently, and there are already very obvious signs of sending troops."
"And, just a moment ago, we just received an urgent letter from the dragon side of the Lonely Mountain."
Assog said respectfully, taking out a red wax-sealed letter from his body and handing it to his master in front of him.
'Whoosh! ’
The letter was quickly sucked into the pitch-black shadows.
Soon, the opened letter was back in Asog's hands.
Along with the letter came the ethereal and unpredictable voice of the owner in front of him, which seemed to sound in all directions at the same time.
"Hey, hey, hey, that dragon's reaction is pretty fast!"
"But now that we've reached an alliance, we don't have to break our trust with each other."
"It's just the right time, it's time for the elves and humans to see our power again!"
"Listen, once the humans can't help but send troops against that dragon in advance, we won't have to hide anymore."
"Silence for too long, and the world will forget our majesty and terror!"
"Go ahead!"
"Yes, master!"
Asog stepped back respectfully.
The voice of his master, Sauron, echoed behind him.
Asog didn't dare to ask more, with a hint of doubt.
As soon as he walked out of the spire, Asog opened the letter from the dragon's side.
"Attack the town of Long Lake..."
"This is for fear of being besieged, so I took the lead..."
"I see."
When Asog saw the letter in his hand, he immediately reacted.
He muttered expressionlessly.
At this moment,
Asog, who had just stepped out of the black spire,
I saw a tall and ugly-looking orc walking up quickly.
"Chief!"
"What's going on, why are you here?"
"Report to the leader, I just got the news that the armies of the human kingdom of Gondor and the kingdom of Rohan have been dispatched!"
The tall orc gasped.
"Oh, their goal? You're coming for us? ”
Asog's face turned cold, and he immediately asked.
"No, Chief, the other party doesn't look like they're coming at us at all."
"On the contrary... On the contrary, it seems to be heading in the direction of the lonely mountain! ”
When asked by the leader, the tall orc tilted his head and thought about it, and then spoke.
"The direction of the lonely mountain..."
"I was really told by the master..."
Hearing his subordinates say this, a cold light suddenly flashed in Asog's eyes.
"Borg, Queero!"
Asog strode forward and immediately shouted loudly.
Soon, the orc Borg, whose head was wrapped in a black barbed iron bar, and another tall, strong orc with hideous eyes trotted up from below.
"Father!"
"Chief!"
"Listen, Borg, you lead an army of 10,000 to attack the kingdom of Rohan of humanity;"
"Quero, you lead an army of 10,000 to attack the human kingdom of Gondor."
"We don't need to go too deep, but we must make humanity feel our power, our terror!"
"Do you understand?"
Looking at the two leaders under his command, Asog commanded coldly.
"Yes, Chief!"
"Yes, Father!"
The two half-orcs immediately replied in a deep voice.
"Go ahead!"
watched the two leaders under his command leave quickly.
Asog pondered darkly.
"This opportunity can be said to be rare, as long as the sneak attack is appropriate."
"I am absolutely sure that the two armies will suffer heavy losses, and it is even possible to go further!"
Thinking of this, Asog's slightly narrowed eyes flickered.
......
Eyes turn back to the battlefield of Long Lake.
Just Legolas. Green leaves, and the elf leaders are very concerned, when their own majesty holds the letter.
The Elven King Thranduil did not sell it, but spoke directly:
"That lord's lady of Roslorian has spied on the disaster that may befall the town of Long Lake."
"So, Rivendell and Roslorian's reinforcements were already on the way a few days ago."
"It's not far from Long Lake Town now!"
Thranduil stopped at this point,
Looking up at the blue dragon hovering in the air in the distance, and the army of monsters that were rapidly gathering under the command of the other party.
The elf king, who had a haze hidden in his eyes, took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"Next, as long as we can hold out, reinforcements from Rivendell and Roslorian arrive."
"We can defeat the dragon once and for all and win this war!"
As soon as the Elven King Thranduil's voice fell, Legolas on the side. Green Leaf and the elven leaders suddenly showed joy on their faces.
"There are reinforcements, or elven reinforcements from Rivendell and Roslorian."
Thrandil's words immediately made the momentum of the elven leaders around him rise a lot.
At this moment,
Seeing that the army of monsters in the distance has quickly completed the convergence.
Thranduil immediately turned his head and whispered to the small leaders beside him, "Prepare for battle!" ”
......
At the same time that the elven army on the side of the woodland kingdom chose to open the formation on the spot.
The army of monsters under Ainz also quickly completed the assembly under the violent rectification of several commanders.
Looking at the elven army in the distance choosing to open a defensive position on the spot,
Anz grinned, he didn't know the plans of the elven army in front of him.
"Miscalculated, I'll let you have no return!"
"Roar..."
"Up, tear them apart!"
Ainz's roar rang out over the monster army.
The next second,
'Oooo ’
The army of black monsters was like a torrent of steel, screaming and rushing towards the elven army in the distance.
Ainz flapped his wings like covering the sky and the sun, roared and soared into the sky, and with a furious momentum like a mountain and a sea, he quickly flew towards the elven army array in front of him!
'Roar...! ’
Looking at the monstrous body of the blue dragon in the sky, which almost obscured the afterglow of the setting sun, became bigger and bigger in front of me!
Straddled the giant horned deer, the elven king Thranduil, and immediately shouted coldly:
"Ready..."
As soon as the words fell, in the center of the neat phalanx of the elven army.
On the three small long ballista carts, three sharp long crossbows two meters long and short with a dark black light have been pulled to the fullest extent by the giant crossbow shooter.
The Elven King Thranduil endured the oppression and rapid heartbeat of the dragon.
Wait patiently for the blue dragon to approach.
Because Thranduil knew that the longbow he had prepared for the dragon was likely to only have such a single chance to be launched.
Not to mention the long ballista he brought, both in terms of size and length of the long crossbow.
It's shorter and thinner than the long crossbow that Changhu Town asked its own side to forge at the beginning!
The only thing that is the same is that the longbow in Longlake Town is forged from the same kind of fine iron mixed with a small amount of Mithril from the same kind of fine iron.
"Ready..."
I felt the restlessness of the huge horned deer beneath me, and the uneasiness of the small leaders behind me.
Thranduil roared as hard as he could, he waited for a better opportunity, and he wanted to get the dragon closer.
Closer, closer,
"Ready..."
"Shoot!"
Thranduil yelled.
'Whoosh! ’
The three long crossbows were like three black streamers, with an incomparably sharp momentum, shooting towards the blue giant beast in the sky!
Anz, who is full of suspicion, prepares himself for the elven army.
As soon as I heard a short ejection sound, the long-prepared lightning breath immediately erupted.
'Bang bang bang! ’
Dozens of dazzling lightning bolts, like electric snakes, immediately erupted from Ainzi's mouth.
In an instant, the narrow sky in front of Ainz seemed to turn into a lightning and thunder hell.
Followed by
The streamers that the three black long crossbows turned into collided with this thunder prison for the first time.
'Bang bang! ’
A violent explosion immediately exploded in the sky above the elven army.
In front of him, the electric light flickered, and the loud noise was amazingly furious.
The elven army array, which had already been shrouded by the power of Anzron, couldn't help but start to stir.
The dive was blocked, and Anz quickly slashed sideways through the elven army.
Immediately afterward, a rain of arrows swished out quickly from behind the elven phalanx.
It's just that with the strength and material of the bow and arrow, it has long been unable to penetrate Ainz's dragon scales.
Not to mention Ainz, who has now been upgraded to the Body of Thunder.
With a crackling sound, it passed.
The arrows that hit Ainz rained down like drops.
'Whew...'
Ainz, who crossed the elven army array, quickly flew into the air,
A moment later,
Ainz's behemoth body turned back, and once again swooped down from the sky straight down to the elven army below.
Before the elven army,
The Elven King Thranduil looked at the blue dragon that had gone and returned unscathed.
With a serious face, he yelled again: "Change formation!" ”
As soon as the voice fell,
Several phalanxes of the elven army immediately gathered together,
The elven warriors who had already trained against it several times quickly raised their pale golden shields in their hands at the first moment of gathering.
'Click, click! ’
'Click, click! ’
'Click, click! ’
A tight clash of shields rang out at once.
Several phalanxes of elven armies, in the shortest possible time.
Countless pale golden shields combined with each other, each other's horns, tightly connected to each other, and pressed above the various large military formations.
From a distance, it looks like an oversized golden tortoise shell.
Immediately after, Anz swooped down from the sky,
It also spurted down with an incomparably powerful momentum, and the orange-red fiery flame dragon breath gushed down.
'Huhu
Endless orange-red flames, like pulsing lava, poured down from the sky.
In the elven army array below,
In response to the dragon's flame dragon breath, the elven army has been trained several times and finally seen results.
The endless fires that fell from the sky were blocked by the walls of golden shields on the phalanxes.
Although a small number of elven warriors were contaminated by the flame dragon's breath through the gap because the gap between their shields was not completely closed between them.
There are also some elven warriors who can't withstand it, and their shields resist the intense heat brought by the dragon's breath.
Forced to abandon his shield and consumed by the Flame Dragon's Breath.
However, the overall army was not swallowed by the flame dragon's breath, and successfully blocked the flames of the blue dragon from the shield.
It also avoids the despair and helplessness of the army of dwarves like Iron Hills and the human army of Long Lake Town in the face of the dragon's flaming dragon's breath!
Looking at his own round of flame dragon breath, he was almost completely blocked by the elven army.
Ainz was a little surprised, but not particularly surprised.
The elven armies of Middle-earth have always been much stronger than humans and orcs.
Since you dare to come to support Changhu Town, you must have something to rely on.
It's just that this method of blocking the Flame Dragon's Breath can obviously only be used for one round.
The special and high temperature of the Flame Dragon's Breath is not comparable to ordinary flames.
This can be seen from the shields on the several elven army arrays below, and many of them are burning with flames.
With the high temperature of ordinary flame dragon breath, although it is not possible to melt the shield forged from steel in a short time.
But it can make the shield quickly turn into a red-hot steel,
It simply couldn't hold it in the hands of the elven warriors below for a long time.
Therefore, this method of resisting the flame dragon's breath is destined to be a one-time transaction.
'Whew...'
Just as Ainz quickly swept over the elven army array, rushing high into the air to give the elves another round of dragon breath package.
Then
'Whoa, whoa! ’
With a familiar strange scream.
The army of monsters under his command finally rushed up.
'Bang bang! ’
As soon as the elven army saw the dragon leave, they immediately threw their blazing shields to the ground.
Then he drew his long knife and hurriedly met the army of attacking monsters.
'Bang bang! ’
The army of monsters from the continent of Altria has finally faced the elves of Middle-earth for the first time.
In terms of the state of the armies of the two sides.
On one side is the tired elven army that has just been baptized by the blue dragon dragon after a long journey.
The other party,
Half of them are the monster army that is also in a state of exhaustion after a big battle with the humans of the Long Lake Formation.
The other half is full of energy and combat power, and has experienced several monster elite armies after several battles.
And in terms of the number of armies on both sides,
The monster army from Ainz's side, although it was a fierce battle with the human army in Long Lake Town at the beginning.
But the army of about 16,000 monsters is almost twice the number of the army on the side of Changhu Town.
The difference in the number of the two armies is too large, and with the addition of the Flame Dragon's Breath with Ainz to wash the ground.
Although the monster army of 16,000 has a certain loss, the actual loss of the monster army is at most about three or four thousand.
This is because in this army of monsters,
There are 10,000 troops, most of whom are monster recruits who have just come of age and are on the battlefield for the first time.
And now the remaining monster army has joined the elite army of 10,000 monsters in a hundred battles.
A total of about 22,000 monster troops, against about 15,000 woodland kingdom elf army.
In terms of numbers, the monster army also has a big advantage.
And that's not even counting the Ainz eyeing the sidelines,
It can be said that this war came from the elven army of the woodland kingdom.
From the very beginning, it fell into an absolute disadvantage!
