Chapter 025: The Battle of the Five Armies 5

Looking at the retreating army of orcs, Edward sat down on the ground with Xingyao on his shoulder, panting violently. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On his body, the elven armor was tattered and covered in scars. In front of him, the corpses of orcs piled up, as if to sing the praises of his great achievements, and the people of Riverdale bowed deeply to the hero.

Not only did he kill the elite wolf cavalry of the orcs that ravaged the town of Long Lake, but he also destroyed the dragon Smaug who had threatened the town for so many years, and now he kept the army of orcs alive outside the walls of Riverdale.

He has helped these mortals so much that people will remember him vividly.

Even the elven soldiers and their king, Thrandil, were impressed by him and treated them with the same courtesy as they treated their most distinguished guests.

"Lady Galadriel is right, your presence will change the fate of many people. Gandalf, Bilbo, and Bard appeared in front of Edward, and Gandalf sighed heartily.

"However, my obligation is not yet complete. Edward stood up and looked at the misty Raven Ridge, "My employer hasn't been given the last safety yet, and I have to go there to help him." ”

"You can't go there. A familiar voice rang out, and Legolas and Taurrell, who had not been seen for a long time, arrived.

"Gangdaba, the orc camp in the north, is heading here for a large army of orcs, and Raven Ridge is the way to go. "Legolas brings bad news.

"Nice to meet you, Legolas, when did you become a scout?" Edward laughed, "and Miss Torrell. ”

"Now is not the time to joke, Edward. "You don't have the strength to fight anymore, and to go there is to die." ”

"No, Legolas, you're underestimating us demon hunters. Edward rejected Legolas, saying, "The glory of the Demon Hunter is not to be tarnished, and I must fulfill my promise, even if it costs my life." ”

"Thorin is fighting a bloody battle in Raven Ridge, along with other dwarves. Only by removing the head of that orc commander can this war be completely ended. ”

"That's all Azog's plan, he wants to kill Thorin in the army, someone has to go and inform him, but not you, Edward. Gandalf persuaded as well, and then turned to Thrandil.

"I'll lead the army to Raven Ridge, Legolas, and ...... Taurrell. Thranduil looked at the two of them and said, "Let's do something for the hero, will you follow me to Raven Ridge to defeat the last evil?"

"Father!" said the two of them, surprised, and they were delighted by Thrandil's change, and readily agreed.

"It was your bravery that changed His Majesty the Elven King. Gandalf put his arm on Edward's shoulder, "You not only have the power to change the fate of others, but you also have the ability to give courage to others." ”

"It's an honor to meet you. Bilbo also praised from the bottom of his heart.

"This is what we are supposed to do as a demon hunter. I will go with you on the road to Raven Ridge, and I will rest as much as I can, and the enemy will be handed over to you. Edward could not listen to any persuasion, so he gave a whistle and his white horse came running.

The others looked at each other, and could only take this hero who regarded glory as his life to Raven Ridge together.

............

Fearing for the safety of the dwarf Chiri, Taurrell broke away from his army and galloped towards Raven Ridge, despite Thrandil's orders. Legolas reluctantly followed her first, followed by Gandalf, Thranduil, and Bilbo.

Although Edward was also worried about Thorin and the others, he was unable to do anything now. The fierce battlefield killing consumed a lot of his strength, and his body must now rest and recover for the big battle that followed.

He rode on a white horse and was protected by a large number of elven soldiers.

By the time Edward reached the bottom of Raven Ridge, a large number of giant bats appeared in the sky, and these bats rushed into the sky above Ereb's battlefield like dark clouds, putting great pressure on the dwarven army.

A large army of orcs emerged from Raven Ridge, blocking the elven army's path.

Edward suddenly had a feeling of tightness in his chest, and he realized a bad premonition. He didn't care about resting, jumped off the white horse and rushed to the enemy position.

When Edward finally broke through the enemy line and reached the top of Raven Ridge, he finally saw where this ominous premonition came from.

Taurrell held the corpse of the dwarf Chiri, weeping bitterly, and not far away lay the corpse of the dwarf Fili.

Edward came to Taurrell's side with a guilty look on his face, and said softly, "I'm sorry I didn't do my duty as a guard. ”

"No, it's not your fault, Edward. "It was fate's fate, Heaven wanted to stop the love affair between the elves and the dwarves, and took Chiri away from me. ”

"If I could have been stronger, I wouldn't have watched him get killed. ”

"Although I don't know what love is, I was once told that true love has nothing to do with race, blood, distance, and all the obstacles that stand in the way. Edward stumbled.

"Thank you for your comfort, go on a trip to your duty, and leave me alone for a while. ”

Edward sighed, glanced at Philly's body again, and left with a gloomy face.

There was a nameless fire in his heart that he wanted to vent, and the frustration of his first breach of trust and people made him angry, and at the same time made him feel a denial of his own ability.

"I need to be stronger to become a true demon hunter!"

When Edward ascended to the top and saw the pale orc in the distance straddling Thorin's body, the prosthetic blade of his severed arm pressed against Thorin's chest, his anger exploded.

"Azog, your end has come!" Before he could shoot an arrow, Edward used all his strength to throw away the star with a wave of his hand.

The huge middle star shot like a meteor at Azog. Before the other party could even react, the silver meteor slashed across his neck.

"Edward...... Epier ...... "These were Azog's last words, and then his body fell, his head dropped, and he rolled into the icy water, where he floated to the surface of the water, unblinded.

Thorin gasped and sat up. He didn't dare to look directly at Edward, and only gave a thumbs up as a sign of gratitude.

"It's all right, Your Majesty. Edward slowly walked over to Thorin's side and held out his hand.

"I am no longer qualified to be the king of the Lonely Mountain, my heart was once defeated by greed, and the glory of the Durin family was defiled. Thorin said guiltily with his head down.

"Yes, you are indeed seduced by evil, so you need to prove that you are a good king by your deeds. Edward also sat down, "Mistakes cannot be avoided, we can only try our best to make amends, just like I did not save the lives of all of you, I plan to practice hard in the future, make myself stronger, protect all the weak who have been hurt, and let the tragedy not happen again." ”

Thorin was finally moved by Edward's words and looked up at the resilient human.

The two looked at each other for a long time before they smiled at the same time.

"In your eyes, I'm a weakling?" said Thorin with a smile.

"Is it weak, you know it in your own heart, do you remember the feeling of being caught in my hands?" said Edward mercilessly.

"You bastard!"
