Chapter 022: The Battle of the Five Armies 2
The next morning, the golden army of the Woodland Elves descended on the city of Erebo, with Commander Bud and Thranduil at the front, riding a horse and a stag respectively. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The gates of Erebor had been stormed by boulders, and thirteen heavily armed dwarves stood at the head of the city, waiting for the previous conversation to begin.
Gandalf and Edward stood behind the army, awaiting the outcome of the negotiations.
"The army of the woodland elves is really well-trained and disciplined. Looking at the neatly arranged army of elves, Edward exclaimed.
"It's a pity that although the elven army is all elite, their number is too small. When they encounter an army of orcs, it is like a tiger encountering a pack of wolves, and no matter how strong they are, they can't resist the numerical superiority of the orcs. Gandalf sighed, but kept his eyes on Thorin at the head of the city of Erebe.
"Let's hope Thorin doesn't get obsessed, once the war starts, they won't have any chance of winning, there are only thirteen of them. ”
"It seems that the situation is not optimistic. You're right, Thorin has changed, and he actually wants to kill his former companion. Edward saw the head of Erebor and was furious that Thorin tried to throw Bilbo down.
"Stop, Thorin, if you're not happy with our snitch, don't hurt him, please give him back to me. Gandalf and Edward also came out of the army, and Gandalf dissuaded.
"You don't have a positive image of yourself as the King of the Mountain, what do you say? Thorrin, son of Thorne. ”
Seeing Gandalf and Edward, Thorin finally calmed down a bit and let Bilbo go.
"I'll never make a deal with wizards again! and the rats of the Shire!" Thorin scolded, pointing at Gandalf.
"And you! Why are you in the enemy's camp? Don't forget, you were hired by me, should you break your promises?
Edward rode his white horse and took a few steps forward.
"That's right, I accepted your offer. However, there is a rule of the Demon Hunter Code: when an employer is under a mental influence, the demon hunter has an obligation to dispel the influence. ”
"Thorin Oak Shield, my employer, you have been affected by the dragon's curse, and now you have two choices, you come down or I go up. ”
As soon as Edward's words fell, there was a commotion at the head of Erebor City, and Thorin involuntarily took a few steps back.
Thinking of Edward's inhuman prowess, he might have been able to climb the tall walls and capture Thorin.
"Now it's time to negotiate, right? Bard shouted.
Thorin glanced towards the hills in the distance and walked around the city angrily.
"Why should I pay for what is mine?"
"Keep the gem, sell it, and the Chancellor of Gondor will pay a good price. Thranzel deliberately provoked Thorin Dao.
"I'm going to kill you! I swear I'm going to kill you all!" Thorin roared in anger again.
"Your oath is worthless!" Thranduil lost patience, "Mr. Edward, if you don't act, then I will order an attack." ”
"Thorin, open the gate and come down, the treasure will kill you. Gandalf persuaded again.
"Give us your answer, choose war or peace!" Bard also issued an ultimatum.
Thorin clenched his fists tightly and bowed his head reluctantly. Thirteen people against the army of elves, even if they have tall walls, it is impossible to win.
Just when everyone thought that Thorin was going to surrender, a rumbling footstep came from the hillside. An army of dwarves came from the other side of the mountain, and Chen Bing was in front of the elven army.
"Oh no, it's Ironfoot Dane, King of the Iron Hills, Thorin's cousin, a very irrational fellow. Gandalf sighed and said.
Gandalf's iron-footed Dane came out of the crowd, rode a boar mount, and walked towards the elven army with a big grin.
"Hi Thorin, it looks like I'm not late. ”
Halfway through, Dann suddenly stopped and shouted at Thorrin, "Be careful! Thorin!
The dwarves, who had been focusing on the battlefield between the two armies, immediately looked under the city walls.
I saw a figure climbing nimbly up the boulder wall. His hands are like iron claws, and with a single claw he can grasp through a hard boulder and use the power it provides to climb upwards.
In the blink of an eye, he was approaching the head of the city of Erebo.
It was Edward, who took advantage of the dwarven army's inertia and leaping power to cross the moat and reach the walls of the city while everyone was focused on the dwarven army.
"Shoot him!" Thorin was shocked, he would not have the confidence to face Edward if he let this mighty human leap to the top of the city.
The dwarves hesitated for a moment, then took their bows and shot arrows downward. But as they hesitated, Edward's figure leaped onto the top of the city, grabbing Thorin with both hands.
"Protect the King!" "Chili, who was closest to Thorin, could not care that the other party was his savior, so he slashed at Edward with his sword, and between his benefactor and the king, he chose the king.
Chili slashed into the air, and Edward nimbly dodged his attack and stomped on the dwarves' shoulders and heads a few times, grabbing Thorin by the shoulders.
"Thorin, you should be sober. ”
Thorin was about to shout a few times when a force sent his body flying, and then the world spun around - he was thrown off the wall by Edward!
The hearts of all present rose to their throats, and they looked at Thorin flying in the air in amazement.
The walls of Eribo are so tall that if a man falls from them, he will surely die!
But just then, Edward jumped out of the wall, caught Thorin in the air, and drew his sword Starlight.
The two then fell together, and Edward grabbed Thorin with one hand and sword in the other, and thrust Starlight into the city wall.
Sparks flew around, and the sharp stars cut a long crack in the city walls.
With this cushion, Edward and Thorin reached the ground safely.
"Let go of me, you perfidious bastard. Thorin immediately struggled and yelled angrily. But he was a dwarf, he was lifted in the air like a chicken by Edward, his limbs could not reach Edward, and his strength was no match for Edward, so he could only be held by Edward like this.
"You'll thank me later, Thorin. Let Mr. Gandalf cast the curse off for you now. Unmoved, Edward threw Thorin and threw him over the moat.
Before Thorin could stand up, he was restrained by a group of elven soldiers.
"Well done, Edward. Gandalf was overjoyed and came to Thorin.
"Let him go, wizard, or you'll be our dwarves' enemy too!" Ironfoot Dane roared.
"King Dane, this is a war that can be avoided, now let me dispel the evil curse on Thorin before making a decision. ”
Gandalf uttered an elaborate incantation, then a long cane.
Nothing happens......
Gandalf looked embarrassedly at the cane that had belonged to Ridagaste, and turned the jewel on the head of the staff, and the staff emitted a dazzling white light.
Shrouded in white light, Thorin struggled violently, a dragon-like black gas scurrying around him, emitting a piercing scream.
"Dissipate, evil spirit of Smaug, you will be sent to hell and suffer for all eternity!"
