Chapter 271: The Battle of the Five Armies
The more he knew about the Supreme Ring, the more he admired and admired Sauron, and secretly said in his heart: No wonder Sauron can become the master of the dark forces after Morgoth, his conspiracy and mind are far more clever than Morgoth......
Sauron was originally a servant of Ori, the lord of the earth and craftsmen, and later became a subordinate of Morgoth (Mirkor) because of his desire for power, and Sauron quickly became one of Morgoth's most favored generals with his great strength and ingenuity, and could compete with the extremely powerful leader of the fire demons, Gosmorg.
Later, Morgoth suffered a series of defeats, and Gothmog also died with the elven heroes, and Sauron naturally became the first leader of the dark forces.
Faced with the risk of being an enemy of the gods and most of Middle-earth, he did not intimidate Sauron, and through his brilliant performances and demagogic abilities, he led the dwarves, elves, and others to create the Ring of Power, but he himself mastered the One Ring that could manipulate the rings.
If it weren't for the elven heroes blessed by the gods who discovered the magic of the Ring and realized the crisis, I am afraid that in the Second Age, the new dark lord Sauron, would be able to become the lord of Middle-earth in one fell swoop and rule over all living beings.
Man is not as good as heaven, the elves and humans with the support of the gods united against Sauron, and Sauron, who was only temporarily the lord of the earth and the lord of humans in the east and south, was finally killed by the coalition forces.
The One Ring was taken away, and the temples that had been sacrificed to Morgoth by the re-summoning of their masters were demolished, leaving only the spirits of Sauron to hibernate for the time being, and it was not until the Third Age that he returned to Middle-earth to continue to stir up trouble.
Looking back on the first half of Sauron's life, Xian Yutong admired his scheming and strategy very much, compared to the first dark lord Morgoth's style of only knowing toughness and brutality, if you want to rule Middle-earth and defeat the gods, you have to rely on Sauron's mind.
Therefore, although Morgoth once ruled Middle-earth in the Age of the Twin Lights, the Age of the Twin Trees, and the First Age, and did many great things, and almost destroyed the world, the gods only had to calculate a little and then lead their subordinates to attack Morgoth's army, and the result was always that the dark forces were defeated, and Morgoth was defeated.
However, Sauron, whose strength is far weaker than Morgoth, has made the epic heroes of all races unable to start, and suffered many dumb losses, and even the gods cannot destroy Sauron, so they can only wait for the opportunity.
Xian Yutong felt that if Morgoth and Sauron could be perfectly combined, then with the perfect leadership core of strength and resourcefulness, the dark forces would probably have the strength to fight against the gods, and then the world would become more and more interesting, after all, for Xian Yutong and Zhang Sanfeng, only muddy waters would be easy to fish......
The primordial spirit came out of his body and burrowed into the Supreme Ring, and Xian Yutong immediately felt the magic like a tsunami waterfall, a dark, cold, scorching, void, dead silence, shadow, and a power that could devour everything.
Xian Yutong instigated mana to block the magic that was surging from all directions, he knew that this magic that made him feel a little stressed must be the original magic that existed in Sauron when he made the Supreme Ring, and only most of the magic power left made him feel a little difficult, and Sauron in his heyday should be his fierce rival.
Xian Yutong's eyes were red, and his surroundings became a sea of magma fire, and under the fire, there was a sea of black water that corroded his body and mind, and a big wave suddenly rolled up in the sea of fire, and then turned into a tall giant, this giant was strong and majestic, and his posture was majestic, which was the earliest appearance of Sauron, which was the self-consciousness produced after the fusion of the Supreme Ring and Sauron's magic power, it surrendered to Sauron, so Xian Yutong who dared to enter the ring had to attack with all his might.
"Hah!"
The wisdom of the Ring Consciousness, which only has energy and no soul, is very low, and the means of attack are also very simple, he first issued a spell to attack the Yuan Shen who is rarely connected, and then turned the sea of fire and black water into two long knives with both hands.
As soon as Xian Yutong's eyes lit up, Kan Li's divine light flew out and defeated the long knife, breaking up the form of the Ring Consciousness.
In the Lord of the Rings, the Ring Consciousness is almost an immortal and immortal existence, although the magic power is not inferior to the Yuan Shen of the Freshness, but the Kan Li Shen Light is too sharp, and the Lord Ring Consciousness can only be beaten passively.
Xian Yutong released the divine light to stir up the sea of fire and black water, but the consciousness of the magic ring suddenly hidden, knowing that there was no way for it for the time being, Xian Yutong snorted coldly and withdrew from the magic ring.
Opening his eyes, Xian Yutong put the Supreme Demon Ring into the Pure Yang Bag, and muttered: "No matter how powerful you are, Lao Dao will go back and use the refining method to concoct you, and wash away all the marks of Sauron in your magic power, and then there will be no soul magic mark, it will be equivalent to destroying the Supreme Ring, I have obtained a treasure, Gandalf and others will kill Sauron again, and this third era will successfully complete the task, it can be said that everyone is happy......"
......
Just as Xian Yutong was pondering the One Ring, the Elven King Thrandui in the Dark Forest had received the news that Smaug, the evil dragon who occupied the Lonely Mountain, had been killed.
Thinking of the countless treasures in the lonely mountain, Thranduy was also a little tempted, and immediately ordered two hundred archers and two hundred spearmen, and personally led the team, riding the great elk under his seat to the lonely mountain in the north.
When the Thrandui army reached the town of Long Lake, he saw the terrible situation after the fire and the strong and brave Long Lakers building houses, and Thrandui was a gentleman after all, and he sympathized with him, so he immediately sent his men to distribute food and help them build houses.
In two days, the temporary residence of Long Lake Town was all built, and the leader of Long Lake Town, "Dragon Slayer" Bud, learned that the elves were going to claim the wealth of Lonely Mountain, and also asked to go with him, so the elf and human alliance of seven or eight hundred people went to Lonely Mountain under the leadership of the Elf King Thrandui and Dragon Slayer Bud, and wanted to ask for one-twelfth of the treasure from Thorin Oak Shield of Lonely Mountain Capital.
After Smaug's death, the king of the mountain, Thorin Oak Shield, who had completely recovered the lonely mountain, was furious when he learned about it, and he believed that the wealth in the lonely mountain was the accumulation of dwarven ancestors, family property, and even his own private property, so naturally he would not give a gold coin to outsiders.
Jin Quan and the other thirteen dwarves made a message to Thorin Oak Shield, explaining that the strength of the alliance under the mountain was not something that a dozen dwarves could stop, but Thorin II insisted on going his own way, and said: "I have asked Raven to send a message to his cousin Dain II of Iron Hills, asking him to personally lead troops to relieve the siege, and when the time comes, we can defeat this group of robbers!"
Ravens are a kind of intelligent creatures unique to the Raven Ridge in the Lonely Mountain, they are also the people of the Eagle King, but they are the highest IQ among the birds, ravens can talk, and also have half the long life of dwarves, although they do not have extraordinary strength, but they are the dependents of the dwarves more than a hundred years ago, and have been helping the dwarves to deliver news, even if more than a hundred years have passed, the ravens are still willing to help Zolin II.
Iron Hill is located 300 miles east of Gushan Mountain, is a paradise with more than 10 tall hills and dense complexity, many hills isolate a part of the cold wind in the north, so that the Iron Hill with Hongshui River has become a place rich in materials and an inexhaustible source of animals and plants.
As the name suggests, Iron Hills is rich in iron ore, so the long-bearded dwarves who live in Iron Hills all have a sturdy set of fine iron armor and weapons.
The leader of the Iron Hills is Dain II, his father Dain I and his younger brother Pauline were killed by the cold dragon in front of the royal palace in the Gray Mountains hundreds of years ago, and the long-bearded dwarves who could not resist the cold dragon migrated from the Gray Mountains to the Iron Hills, and the leader of the tribe was also inherited by Dain II.
The dwarves are stubborn and loyal, and they are very excited and excited about the plea of King Solin II of Turin, who is also very close cousins, after all, their grandfathers are brothers.
It didn't take long for Dain II to select five hundred elite soldiers, ride armored boars, and leave the Iron Hills with high-spirited soldiers and head to the Lonely Mountain in the west.
Bilbo Baggins quietly left the Lonely Mountain and mediated at the camp of the Elven King Thrandui and Bard the Dragon Slayer, the Elven King admired the brave and kind Baggins, but the battle was avoided.
The next day, Dain II led his army to the Lonely Mountain, and just as the two sides were facing each other and the war was about to break out, Gandalf suddenly descended from the sky and reminded both sides that an army of thousands of orcs, orcs, and wolves had attacked due south, and countless bats were making a name for them, led by Polg, the king of the orcs.
The battle of the Five Armies broke out in the afternoon after the arrival of the orc army, and the combined forces of elves, humans, and dwarves relied on the steep terrain of the lonely mountain to defend against the onslaught of wolf cavalry and orc soldiers, the onslaught of wolves, and the harassment of countless bats from the sky.
The battle lasted for four days and four nights, and the coalition army had retreated to the halfway point of the lonely mountain, and nearly a thousand orcs and wolves had died below the lonely mountain, and the coalition army also suffered a lot of casualties, and the dead bodies of bats were everywhere.
On the afternoon of the third day, Solin Oak Shield in the capital of the Lonely Mountain rushed out from the left flank with Jin Quan and twelve retainers, intercepting the ranks of more than 500 orcs and more than 300 wolves, and fell into a bloody battle.
Although Solin Oak Shield and Jin Quan are all first-class martial arts masters, but there are too many enemies, and they are all not afraid of death, fighting for a day and a night, the dwarves have been all injured, if it weren't for the "beast bite sword" Oak Shield held by Tholin Oak Shield to specifically restrain the orcs, so that no matter how powerful the orcs can't catch a sword, I'm afraid he would have been killed as in the original book.
Jin Quan's martial arts are the highest, and he has practiced the Shakya Elephant Throwing Gong and the Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong to the fullest, and the power of his hands and feet can crush the wolf orc, but the manpower is limited after all, and he has not been able to master the stunt of his father and master's vault, and the body and strength have become larger, and the "Dragon Elephant Golden Body" or "Hill True Body" that is not afraid of swords.
After killing nearly a hundred people, Jin Quan, who had lost his energy a lot, also began to gasp, and even the hammer in his hand became heavy.
The war lasted for most of the day, and after the Orcs and Wolves took advantage of their night vision to storm for a night, almost all of the Coalition soldiers were wounded, and Bilbo Baggins was wounded and fled back after assassinating the Orc King Polg to no avail, and the resistance of the Coalition Army had begun to gradually decline.
Orcs and wolves felt the retreat of the coalition forces, Polg saw the dawn of victory, and personally led the guards to continue the onslaught with the orcs and wolves, seeing that the dwarves died three or four in a row, and the elves and humans also continued to die, the elven king Thrandui and the dragon slayer Bud couldn't hold back the impact of leading the team.
A glimmer of white light emerged from the eastern sky, dispelling the darkness on the lonely mountain.
At dawn, a loud eagle roar suddenly came from the sky, like a bolt of lightning that frightened the countless bats in the sky like dark clouds into panic and flew wildly.
The first rays of the morning sun fell, and a "cloud" of birds of prey flew from the western sky.
At the head is a huge golden eagle with a wingspan of seventeen or eighteen meters, he is the leader of the transcendent life eagle, the lord of ten thousand birds "Eagle King".
Behind the Eagle King, there are also fifteen large eagles of various coat colors with a wingspan of ten meters, as well as smaller eagles and falcons of various species, and there are hundreds of them.
The eagle king screamed loudly, and the flock of birds was divided into fifteen groups, each big eagle with a group, like an arrow from the string flying to the ground, the birds of prey like knives and arrows of the eagle beak instantly pecked the eyes of more than a dozen orcs, and the sharp iron claws penetrated the skin from the forehead and neck of the wolf, so that the strong wolf could only be caught in the air and died, or scratched the forehead and neck and died tragically.
The Eagle King and the Great Eagles grabbed the orcs and flew up, and then dropped off the cliff, and although the orcs were not afraid of death, they fell from the air into flesh but howled irrepressibly, and the orcs and wolves on the lonely mountain gradually began to retreat.
The elven and human alliances hurried down the valley to support Thorin II, who was almost unable to hold on.
Now the remaining strength of the coalition army is still half, and there are more than a thousand orcs and wolves in the valley in front of the gate of the Lonely Mountain Capital, and it will be a bitter battle to fight again.
"Roar!"
At the critical moment, a shocking bear roar suddenly sounded behind the camp of the orcs and the wolf, and then the Eagle King in the sky and the coalition forces on the ground all saw that a giant bear more than ten meters tall and a thinner black panther suddenly appeared behind the orcs in the distance.
As soon as the bear and the panther appeared, they pounced on the orcs and wolves, and the huge bear's paws, leopard claws, and bloody maws became the supreme weapons to kill the orcs and wolves.
The strong orcs are like paws of paper when they encounter bear paws, and they can fly to death in an instant, or smash them into meat sauce, and the sharp claws of the black panther can tear apart three or four orcs or wolves in an instant.
The mighty orc legion suffered great losses from behind the attack of the giant bear and the black panther, and when they turned around to attack the two giant beasts, they found that their small size could not even get close and was knocked away and killed.
And beside the two beasts, there is also a white-haired hobbit, he is armed with a short knife, his body is like a whirlwind swimming through the orc army, every ten meters he walks, a person will fall, and the well-prepared combination of orcs and wolves can always make him escape.
Seeing that the orcs were about to shrink into a ball, and when the time came, he would inevitably be injured when he formed an encirclement, so he stared at the orc king Polg not far away, and shouted: "Old black, kill the orc king!"
The panther suddenly jumped, his body flew out of a hundred meters, his two claws tore off at Bolg, his guards rushed out to resist, and were instantly torn apart by three, but the rest of the dozen or so guards rushed forward without fear of death, and finally dragged the panther to his feet.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
With a violent earthquake, the giant bear rushed in front of Polger, smiled fiercely, and smashed Polg with its paws into the sky, and then turned back to help the panther kill the strong orc guards.
Seeing that the orc army was suddenly in disarray, the coalition knew that the opportunity to counterattack had come, so they boosted their morale and rushed out led by the elven king Thrandui and the dragon slayer Bard, Solin II, Dain II, and Jin Quan.
An hour later, the battle that broke out on the lonely mountain involving nearly ten races of creatures, including dwarves, elves, terrans, orcs, wolves, eagles, wizards, black panthers, skinchangers, bats, etc., ended, and ended with the annihilation of the orcs and wolf armies.
The Coalition side also suffered heavy losses, and Gandalf showed up at the end of the battle, and then worked with Beorn to save the badly wounded Thorin Oakshield and the others.
