In the north of Middle-earth,

There is a long stretch of low hilly mountains, iron hills.

Iron Hills, as the name suggests, is a region rich in iron ore.

The dwarves of the Turin clan have been digging in the area for thousands of years.

Since being repelled by the orcs from Moria, the Turin dwarves have split into two groups.

One group was led by Thor to the Lonely Mountain and established the kingdom of Irub under the mountain.

A group of dwarves led by Grohl to the Iron Hills.

Grohl eventually settled in the Iron Hills and established the Iron Hills Kingdom, becoming the first King of the Iron Hills.

At that time, Irub was far from becoming the most powerful dwarven kingdom.

Under Grohl's rule, Iron Hills was the most powerful kingdom in the north, and the only kingdom that could stop Sauron's attempts to destroy the Glen and reclaim Angmar.

After the catastrophe that struck Irubir, the blue dragon known as the Blue Tyrant and the Blue Plague took over.

Many of the Turin dwarves of Iruber have come to the Iron Hills, but most of the remaining Irub dwarves are still willing to follow Thorin. Behind the oak shield, continue to wander.

......

At this time, in the King's Hall on the Iron Hills.

The new King of the Iron Hills, Iron-Footed Dain, also known as Dane II. Iron feet.

He was sitting cross-legged at the huge dining table, tearing at the large piece of barbecue in front of him.

At this moment, a middle-aged dwarf in a delicate short robe strode into the main hall.

"Your Majesty, the clansmen stationed in Rivervalley have sent several messages."

"The dragon that occupied Irub has sent a large number of troops, although it is not known who the dragon is dealing with for the time being."

"But looking at the direction of the group of monster armies, there is a possibility that they will attack our Iron Hills..."

The middle-aged man's voice did not fall,

'Bang! ’

Dann II. Iron Foot's fist slammed into the dining table, and the huge force immediately overturned the thick barbecue disc in front of him.

"It's that damn lizard again!"

"What's going on, what did those human spies from Riverdale say they caught earlier?"

Dann II. Iron Foot raised his head and asked the middle-aged man in front of him with a sharp gaze.

"After being tortured, the human spies only said what they knew, and only obeyed a wizard named Fire Dance."

"I don't know anything else, let alone what Irub is doing now."

Facing the king's sharp gaze, the middle-aged man was not afraid, but said clearly without hurry.

"Kill them all, needless to say, those guys are all Irub's spies."

"The group of humans in Riverdale Town have been controlled by that big lizard at all."

"Don't forget what the people who fled from Irub said earlier, there are several wizards under the command of that dragon."

After saying that, Dann II. Iron Foot stood up, full of momentum.

"Your Majesty, it's better for those human spies to stay, maybe they'll be ready for use sometime."

"Moreover, there is not much difference between the other party alive and dead now!"

The middle-aged dwarf continued to speak calmly.

"Okay, you can just look at this matter, but the army under the command of that evil dragon can't move."

"Since there is a possibility of coming at us, then we must also be prepared."

"Pass my orders down, so that the cavalry and warriors do not let their guard down and are ready for battle at any time."

Dann II. Tiezu thought for a moment, then commanded with a solemn face.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The middle-aged dwarf replied respectfully, and quickly withdrew from the main hall.

Inside the main hall, Dann II. Iron Foot stared at a hand-drawn map spread out on the table.

......

As the weather gradually warms up, it enters the month of spring ploughing.

Countless green and vibrant plants poked their heads out of hibernation and grew freely on the snow-moistened land.

The beauty of Middle-earth has also continued to soar.

Especially when you look down from the endless sky, the sight is so shocking and beautiful that flightless creatures can never imagine.

'Whew...'

On the side is the cold wind that sweeps at high speed,

Under the blue sky,

Ainz was moving through the white clouds.

The distance between Iron Hills and Irub would take nearly a day or so for the army under Ainz to finally reach it.

But for Ainz now, it's just a few short hours of time when he flies at full strength.

He hadn't really traveled to Middle-earth since Ainz arrived, let alone to any other well-known country.

But he didn't have much time before, and he had been busy since he came into this world.

Either to bother with the capture of Irubor or to guard against the attack of the northern dragon Smaug.

When all this was done, Ainz fell into a deep sleep again, and slept for more than three years.

No, not long after I woke up, I immediately threw myself into the conquest of the dwarves again.

But although it was hard work, Ainz also enjoyed it.

Not only is its own strength soaring, but the monster army under his command is also growing rapidly like a spark.

Speaking of which, I have one more to explain,

Ainz has been awake for three years, except for awakening and mastering one or two ordinary talent spells.

The body size also rose by nearly two meters at one time.

Now Ainz has reached a length of 22 meters, and after opening his wings with all his strength, the wingspan has increased to 33 meters.

Although in terms of simple size, it is not as good as Smaug, who is thirty meters long and has a wingspan of forty-five meters.

But for humanoids, the mere appearance of a giant creature beyond visual perception is enough to shock the mind.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

The appearance of the blue dragon represents the arrival of the blue tyrant and the arrival of the blue plague!

'Whew...'

When Ainz was in sight, traces of civilization began to appear.

When a large area is intertwined with various stones.

Ainz knew that Iron Hills had arrived.

Immediately, under the blue sky, Ainz took a closer look at the iron hills below.

A continuous stream of buildings is built on a gentle hill.

The building stretches upwards in a ring,

The style of house architecture is basically a house built of various stones.

Although it has a modest appearance, this type of stone house is much stronger than a house made of wood.

This is also more in line with the long life span of the dwarf, and the stubborn extraordinary style.

"Basically, it's all houses made of stone, and the effect of direct breath raids is not so good, and it's easy to startle snakes!"

Smelling the Iron Hills, Ainz circled high in the air for a while, and then immediately returned.

Below, on the outermost stone walls of the Iron Hills.

Many Iron Hills dwarven warriors were still joking with each other and chatting with them,

Naturally, they didn't know that they had just passed through the ghost gate.

It was getting dark.

On the periphery of the iron hills, torches were lit on the solid and heavy stone walls.

In the faint light of fire, the thick and strong walls of the iron hills were like a lone warrior,

The dwarves who have been silently guarding the Iron Hills for hundreds of years!

But today, things seem a little out of the ordinary.

In the dwarf king Dann II. Under the command of Iron Foot,

The defenses of the Iron Hills suddenly became more rigid than before.

'Whoa! ’

'Whoa! ’

Bands after teams of heavily armed dwarven warriors kept walking through the passages in the wide walls.

The clashing of weapons and armor was heard endlessly, and a solemn atmosphere hung over the Iron Hill Kingdom.

At this time, a dwarf wearing a noble and delicate black robe, wearing a crown inlaid with pearl agate and a crown made of gold,

Surrounded by the dwarves in armor and imposing beside him, he walked up to the city wall.

"Well, haven't found any trace of those monsters?"

Dann II. As soon as Iron Foot climbed the wide wall, he immediately asked.

"Report to Your Majesty, not yet."

"But before the two of them, our pioneer apricot did spot the traces of those monsters."

A stocky, armoured dwarf immediately stepped forward and spoke.

"Oh, what about the warrior of the vanguard apricot, call up, I want to see."

"Report to Your Majesty, they... They haven't come back yet, maybe, maybe they're dead! ”

The stocky dwarf bowed his head slightly, and replied truthfully.

"What's going on?"

Dann II. Iron Foot frowned and immediately asked.

"After spotting the traces of Irub's army of monsters, they managed to send a signal."

"But I must have been exposed because of this, and I haven't been able to come back until now, so..."

Hear the reply from his command, Dann II. It wasn't clear where Iron Foot was, and the lives of those pioneers who discovered the monsters were in danger.

"Damn lizards, damn monsters!"

Dann II. Iron Foot couldn't help but immediately curse angrily.

The dwarven warriors who can serve as the vanguard apricot are naturally the elite ones.

But when you encounter that notorious blue dragon, I'm afraid it's a lot of bad luck.

Dann II. Iron Strode to the side of the city wall, looked at the dark night sky in the distance, and thought:

"He's not surprised that the blue dragon moved its troops."

"After all, the evil guy always wants to destroy the world, just like the one with the Banner of Mordo."

"It's just that he didn't expect that the target of that giant dragon would really be his own Iron Hills Kingdom."

"River Valley Town, Changhu Town, these human gathering places that are close to each other and weak in the forest, that giant dragon will not attack."

"On the contrary, he came from thousands of miles to attack his iron hills, which not only made him puzzled, but also made him angry."

"First Irub, now Iron Hills!"

"That dragon obviously has a different 'preference' for the dwarves of his own kind!"

"But in this world, the people who have the deepest hatred for their own people are the orcs of Moria and Mordo."

"Could it be that guy is a half-orc minion of Modo?"

Come to think of this, Dann II. Iron Foot immediately jumped.

But if you think about it, it's a real possibility.

However, according to the news from the spies of Iron Hills in Riverdale for several years, it is said.

Orcs only appear once in Irub, and Irub visits them as apricots.

"They're allied!"

"That dragon is allied with Sauron of Mordor!"

Come to think of this, Dann II. Iron Foot suddenly flashed through his mind like lightning.

This is the only way to explain why the dragon attacked Iron Hills so abruptly.

"It's not good, if it's really as I think, I'm afraid there will be an army of half-orcs who will also appear!"

As soon as I thought of this, Dann II. Ironfoot's face immediately became serious.

For the vast monster army of Iruber, Dane II. Iron feet are naturally not afraid.

The heavy sheep cavalry under his command, as well as the dwarven warriors, are extremely strong in combat, so they will naturally not be afraid.

But if Irub's monster army is added to the army of orcs.

Dann II. Even if Iron Foot has confidence in the troops under his command, he can't help but move.

Thinking of this, Andane II. Iron Foot immediately turned around.

With a serious face, he instructed the ministers beside him:

"By my command, all the inhabitants of the secluded world..."

"Your Majesty, discover the enemy!"

'Aang...! ’

'Aang...! ’

'Aang...! ’

Dann II. The words of the Iron Foot did not fall,

Immediately, there was a loud roar of the dwarven general, followed by a loud horn.

Hear the shouts of your men, Dann II. Where can Iron Foot take care of what he just wanted to say.

He immediately leaned on the side of the wall and looked into the distance.

Sure enough, in the distance the spasms of darkness,

A long dragon-like, endless, endless fire appeared.

The monster army of Irubor is coming.

"Give me the order, assemble!"

Dann II. Ironfoot immediately turned and yelled inside the walls.

"Whoa!"

A large number of heavily armed hoplite cavalry hidden under the city walls immediately revealed their grandeur.

"Quick!"

Immediately after Dann II. Ironfoot snorted,

The dwarven guards on the side immediately quickly changed into full equipment and armor for the dwarf king.

Soon, the dwarven king, who had changed into full body armor, quickly descended the city wall,

And ride on a swarthy and strong boar!

"Open the gates!"

'Aang...! ’

'Aang...! ’

As the trumpet sounded again,

Dwarven King Dann II. Iron Foot took the lead, leading a large army of heavily armed sheep cavalry out of the city.

Immediately after the dwarven sheep cavalry were a group of heavily armed dwarven warriors.

Followed by

'Bang! ’

'Bang! ’

'Bang! ’

Three huge fireworks, like flares, burst into the sky from the wall behind the dwarf.

In an instant, the vast pitch-black battlefield in front of it lit up.

On the side of the Iron Hills Dwarves,

Irub Blue Dragon's side,

The two parties quickly saw each other's existence!

The next moment,

No dialogue, no words!

The loud sound of the horn suddenly sounded from both sides at the same time:

'Ang...'

'Ang...'

'Ang...'

Followed by

Two armies of steel that were as black as pitch black began to charge!

The earth is shaking, the earth is trembling,

Finally, the two torrents converged and collided together!

'Bang bang! ’

At this moment,

'Roar...'

A furious roar suddenly came from the dark sky.

Immediately after, a giant dragon with a blue glow,

Appeared in the sky above this battlefield.
