Chapter 43: The Orc Legion
The distance between the lonely mountain and Josh and them was indeed not far away, and they didn't have much time to come to the bottom of the lonely mountain.
To be honest, if it weren't for Thorne's over-urgency, Josh and Thranduil wouldn't have planned to pass so early.
However, seeing Gandalf's look of anticipation and Thorne's constant pleading, Josh and Thrandeil communicated for a while, and decided to let the two guys rest a little before setting off.
The main reason, of course, was that they had to wait for someone who had already run out to exercise, and Gandalf and Thorne were really tired.
The devil knows what they had been through, and it took less than two days for such a distant reveal to arrive, and they were now not only embarrassed but also very hungry.
But if it wasn't some kind of belief that sustained them, I'm afraid they would have passed out long ago. Looking at Josh, they rejected themselves, and at the same time felt their physical state, and they could only reluctantly choose to accept.
Especially when Josh told them, 'They're going to die when they meet the orc army?' They have also given up on the idea of heading towards the Lonely Mountain immediately, the orcs will not be polite to you, especially when you have little ability to resist, they will only cut off your head.
After sitting down and taking a sip of the hot soup and eating something, the two of them suddenly felt much better.
Although they still wanted to head towards the Lonely Mountain immediately, after seeing the appearance of Thranduil and Josh, they decided not to mention these questions, anyway, it would not be long before they were here.
"That's right, Thrandil. Aren't you the elven king of the Dark Forest? Why did it suddenly become that.... Uh, I'm sorry, I think about it, Speaker? Right! That's the word, Speaker. What does that mean? β
After resting for a while, Thorne suddenly remembered what Thranduil had told him earlier that he was no longer the Elven King, but a Speaker.
What the hell is this? After all, Thorne has been detained and tortured by orcs for hundreds of years, and he is very derailed by information from the outside world.
And he's been on the run with Gandalf since he was rescued by Josh, and he doesn't have time to find out what's going on outside.
Gandalf is similar, his ass is being chased by a group of orcs and is about to smoke, who will be in the mood to talk to you about what's going on outside, getting out of here quickly is the most important thing!
"It seems that you have indeed lost contact with the outside world for too long Thorne, the Speaker is a national meeting presiding officer. And our current country is called the Elven Empire, and this empire has a total of three speakers, namely me, Elon, and Lady Keltrilan. β
"What? You guys.... Are you merged? Then the Elf King.... The Elven King is His Majesty Josh? β
Thorne had almost become king after all, but their country didn't have a parliamentary system, and he didn't know what parliament was. But he wasn't stupid, and he had enough information from Thranduil's name.
These names are not ordinary characters, they can be said to have witnessed the historical development of Middle-earth!
Almost every character who can be taken out to make the orcs fearful, is this such a character actually leading their countries to merge together to form an elven empire?
And these three are not actually going to serve as elf kings, what kind of speaker have they turned around?
Thorne was a little incomprehensible about this, but after thinking about the strength of this half-elf named Josh, he immediately stopped saying more, these are elf things.
"Yes, Thorne. Let me explain it to you in detail. β
Gandalf, who was sitting on the side, sighed slightly and began to explain to Thorne, this elven empire is up, to be honest, this elven empire Gandalf himself really didn't go well when he first heard about it.
Because he had never heard of a country where such a mature and unusually democratic system would emerge!
Under such a system, this nascent elven empire will definitely become the overlord of the entire continent!
Gandalf didn't doubt this at all, even Thorne after listening to Gandalf's explanation! He was in a state of turmoil right now, and the way he looked at Josh and Thrandeil was very strange.
With such an empire existing, if they had the intention of conquering the continent, they would definitely be even more terrifying than the orcs!
But Thorne and Gandalf knew that there was no way to stop this, because they had no reason to stop a nation that had been put together to resist Sauron, to resist the invasion of darkness, and to resist the orcs.
With all sorts of inexplicable feelings, Gandalf and Thorne slept well, they didn't want to think about the empire anymore, and the more they thought about it, the more they would give themselves a headache.
But they didn't sleep long, and even after so long on the run, they woke up at noon.
"Are you awake? I thought you were going to sleep until late in the evening. But now that His Majesty's friend has returned, I think we can go too. β
Thranduil appeared in their tent not long after they woke up, probably because he felt that the smell of the two of them was a little unpleasant, so after saying this, Thranduil turned and left the tent directly, and Gandalf and Thorne moved quickly, and it was not long before they appeared at the tail of the army and followed the elven army forward.
"I didn't expect that I would be able to come back here."
Looking at the lonely mountain not far away, Thorne sighed. He had been away for so long that he didn't even think he would ever be able to come back for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect to be able to see this majestic peak up close again.
"Very long ago, indeed, my friend. But we're finally back, aren't we? β
Gandalf laughed from the sidelines, indeed, after so many hardships, they are finally back now.
And the evil dragon entrenched in the lonely mountain has also been dealt with, what could be happier than this? With the power of the dwarves, the creatures of darkness will be more relaxed, which is also an aspect of Gandalf's happiness.
Soon, however, Gandalf seemed to notice that there was something strange about the elven army, and they seemed to be starting to become a little wary, or rather they had discovered something and were already thinking about how to deal with it.
Gandalf was curious, he wanted to ask in front of him, but when he thought of Josh's terrifying ability, he immediately gave up this plan, forget it, or watch from the back.
In fact, Gandalf really didn't think wrong, I'm afraid that even Josh didn't expect that they actually encountered Asog's army at the foot of the lonely mountain!
To put it simply, Josh and the others just happened to collide with Asog and them, which made Josh feel a little funny.
I'm afraid that the battle of the five armies really doesn't exist, and the only battle left is the battle of the three armies.
The so-called battle of the five armies is actually a human army, a dwarf army and an elven army, together against the army of the orcs - including their wolves, which can be regarded as an army. Therefore, among the five armies, two armies are orc armies.
"Your Majesty, we...."
"It's good to just kill them, and you can also take a good look at what the army looks like after learning the battle spirit, even if they are just getting started. If you can't, don't forget I'm still here! β
"I see."
In fact, it is conceivable that when the two armies of them happened to meet on the plain - in fact, the elves had already seen it, but Thranduil still ordered the army to meet them directly, especially when the two sides were less than five hundred meters, and the orcs also discovered this army.
Even Gandalf, who was at the back, could clearly see this army of half-orcs, and he never dreamed that they would meet like this!
And what he didn't expect was that this elven army seemed to have discovered them a long time ago, and would actually attack this half-orc army that was obviously more numerous than his own?
The result was self-evident, and just as Gandalf wanted to rush straight ahead and ask Josh about them, Thranduil had already sent the elven archers to attack the orc legionsβand the specially made elven bows and arrows covered the orcs like a torrential rain!
Even more terrifying was the faint glow of green, blue, and red.
Gandalf immediately stopped, this thing that emitted the same light, gave him a very dangerous feeling! Even if he could feel that this force was very weak, but in such a large area, Gandalf felt shudder to imagine.
The orcs were relatively calm at first, and they immediately raised their shields under Asog's command.
Although they were surprised to encounter an army of elves for some reason, they didn't care, thinking that it might be the rescue of the escaped wizard and the dwarf.
However, after taking a look at the number of this elven army, these half-orcs seemed even more indifferent, obviously so much less than themselves, what else did they have to worry about?
Moreover, the orcs are extremely disgusted with elves, just as the elves hate these orcs, they can be said to be mortal enemies!
The experience of fighting against elves and orcs can be regarded as very rich, even if they have barely won a few victories, but they still have a lot of experience in dealing with these natural archers.
But this time, to their horror, the huge shields didn't seem to be of any use!
Those arrows with battle qi were like sharp swords cutting through tofu, directly piercing all those shields, and then all the orcs hiding under the shields were killed.
Quite a few orcs were directly pierced by these arrow feathers - directly from the head and then out of the lower body!
The rest are not much better, they are basically directly stabbed to the heart!
It can be said that in the first round of attack, these orcs were directly wiped out by the elven archers! Such a brilliant result naturally fell into the eyes of Gandalf and Thorne.
They were all very shocked now, maybe Gandalf was a little better because he knew so much about it. But Thorne was different, he looked at the large corpse in a daze, and the filthy blood all over the ground, and couldn't help muttering:
"This.... What is it? How... How so? How is this possible? β
