Chapter 131: On the eve of the counteroffensive
When King Elon saw that the wolf cavalry that had sniped them began to retreat after suffering a large number of casualties, his heart was filled with joy instead of joy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The sudden arrival of Edward, the demon hunter, gave hope to the people of Middle-earth, who had lost him in the war - King Elon did not think that Edward would be able to escape from the fortress surrounded by orcs.
"Don't be sad, Eldron, if my feelings are not wrong, Edward will not die. "I don't see his future, but his existence is inextricably linked to our world." Such an existence would not be destroyed so easily. ”
King Elon looked at Glorfindel in surprise, the legendary elven had always been so accurate that King Elon had no reason to doubt his words.
Thranduil over there also gathered his elven army, and together with Rivendell's elven army, camped down on the plain outside the fortress.
The current situation is reversed from the beginning, although the orcs are still outnumbered and in the defensive stage, it is not impossible to defeat them.
Just as the three elven leaders gathered the elven army and prepared to discuss the battle, Glorfindel looked into the sky.
"You see, I'm right, Edward escaped. ”
When Edward jumped off Alan and landed, he fell to the ground and rolled several times before he half-sat up, and Alan also fell to the ground, barely having the strength to continue flying.
"Thank you for your assistance, King Elon and Your Majesty Thrandil. Edward looked embarrassed, but he didn't exude the aura of a desperate hero. His gaze was full of persistence and anger, and he looked at the Demon Hunter Fortress in the distance for a long time.
"You're alright, Edward. King Elon lifted him up and asked.
"I'm fine, I just need to rest, but Aisha ......" Edward bowed his head guiltily.
"Does Aisha ...... her?"
"This can't be!" Glorfindel was surprised, "Aisha's fate will not dissipate, I can see that she is closely connected to you, she can't die here!"
"Yes, she's not dead, but she can't be in front of us. "When we see her again, maybe she's not what she used to be." Trust me, I'll give her a second life. ”
The three elven leaders looked at each other, not understanding what Edward meant. But given Edward's mood, they didn't get to the bottom of it.
"So are we going to launch a general assault on the Demon Hunter Fortress now?" Thranduil worried, "I'm not afraid of sacrifice, but we elves are not good at storming cities, and if we take down a fortress, we will inevitably pay a heavy price." ”
"Elladan and Elohir have gone to the reinforcements of the human kingdom in the south, and there is no news coming back now, we only have so many troops now. "King Elon doesn't seem to be optimistic about the elven army attacking the sturdy Demon Hunter Fortress either. Elladan and Elohir were the twin sons of King Elrond, who sent them to the Rohan Kingdom to ask for reinforcements before the war.
"No, I don't need human reinforcements anymore. Edward said firmly, "Good news has come from Roslorian in the south: Legolas and Aragorn have joined forces with Roslorian's elven army to cross the Anduin River and capture Dolgordo!"
"Lady Galadriel of Roslorian has left most of the elven army in Dorgordo to prevent the advance of the orc army from Mordor in the south, and the rest of the army has already pursued the remnants of the defeated orcs along the Anduin River to the north, I believe that it will not be long before the vanguard battalions of Aragon and Bion and the army of Roslorian will come here and attack the Witch King of Angmar here with us!"
"This is very good news!" said Thranduil, laughing happily at finally hearing the news of his son. King Elon and Glorfindel also looked at each other and smiled.
At this moment, there was a rumbling sound from the north, and everyone hurried to look that side, and a large army of dwarves appeared on the horizon.
Everyone present laughed again, although the army of the Lone Mountain Dwarves came a little late, but they would have a better chance of winning the next counterattack on the Demon Hunter Fortress.
King Elon helped Edward into the tent he had soon set up, and built a bed for him to rest in, Edward took off his blood-stained armor, placed Starlight beside the bed, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
In a few moments, the furious Golden Bolt and his cousin Ironfoot Dane ran into the elf's tent, and when the two of them saw the sleeping Edward, they breathed a sigh of relief. As if trying to make sure that Edward was asleep and not a corpse, he probed Edward's snort with his hand to reassure him.
The sleeping Edward was not without vigilance, he reflexively grabbed Jin Li's hand, his sleepy face still stained with tears, and kept muttering Aisha's name in his mouth.
"I'm so sorry that I didn't protect Aisha. Jin Li said ashamedly, he had just heard the news of Aisha's death from the elven priest.
"No, Kim, you've been brave. Thrandil, who had always been unkind to dwarves, suddenly said, "You have changed my mind about dwarves, you did a good job of delaying the fall of the fortress in that battle just now, killing a large number of orcs, and deserving of the treatment of a warrior." ”
"I love to hear that, and you speak it very well, Elf. Ironfoot Dane, the ruler of the Iron Hills, has always been known for his short temper, but now he is not shy about being calm with the elves, "With your words now, we may be able to fight side by side, just like Goldbolt and your son Legolas." ”
Dane's words made Thrandeil roll his eyes, but he didn't answer. Just because he admired the golden bolt didn't mean he also admired the other rude dwarves, and the generational hatred between elves and dwarves was not so easy to dissolve.
"I need to vent!" Jin Li viciously grabbed a glass of wine and poured it down with a flick of his neck, "These damn orcs and ringwraiths have left me with no face in front of Edward, we must lead an army to attack and kill the damned Ringwraithin and his men to avenge Aisha! I know every secret passage in the Demon Hunter Fortress, and we can use it to attack them!"
"We're going to attack the fortress, but not now. "We have won a great victory in the southern Roslorian campaign, and we need to wait for the return of the armies of Roslorian and Estelle before the best time comes." ”
"But what if it was a fortress that we dwarven craftsmen had built with great difficulty, and it was destroyed by those orcs?"
"They won't do that. Glorfindel said, "The power of the orcs is huge, but it's not really endless. The orcs from the northern Angmar Mountains and Gangbada were almost all they possessed, and they would not destroy the fortress and put the last of the northern orcs in danger, which would only hasten their demise. ”
"Calm down, Kim. "War is no joke, your current state will only weaken our good form, we need to deal a fatal blow to those orcs!"
"Well, I can wait three days, and if Aragorn and Legolas haven't come yet, we'll have to launch a counteroffensive!"
