Chapter 59 Blocking the door again

"They should be waiting for us."

Gandalf said this at the pass of the Misty Mountains.

"That's part of our plan."

"That's possible." Levi looked around at the terrain. This place was still the same as the last time he came here, with no changes.

"Well, even if they really didn't wait for us, they would definitely find a place to rest after it rained so heavily. We can always catch up while they rest."

"Huh?"

Gandalf suddenly stopped and looked at a cave beside him.

"This is the front hall of the Orc Town. It is a gate specially set up by the Orcs to attack passers-by. Because of their presence, this road has been unused for a long time."

"Speaking of which, I once planned to find a somewhat upright rock giant to block this place, but they were really difficult to communicate with, so in the end it didn't work out."

The well-informed old wizard told the history of this place. As he spoke, he took a few steps forward, squatted down, and touched the ground.

"The mechanism here shows signs of being triggered just now..."

"No, Thorin and the others should have been caught!"

"This is not good..."

"Then let's go down and rescue them?" Levi also took two steps forward, looked left and right, knocked on the wall and touched the ground.

"No need to waste your efforts. These goblins in Orc Town are very smart. The gates they set up cannot be opened from the outside."

Gandalf stood up and said, "But I know there is a back door through which we can sneak in. Maybe we can..."

"Maybe we can dig in."

Levi took out a diamond pickaxe and asked Gandalf, "Show me the direction."

"Just watch, I won't call him Levi until he digs through the front hall door."

hiss--

Gandalf stroked his beard and took a deep breath.

I almost forgot what this guy is capable of.

"This way!"

Dong dong dong dong dong…

The diamond pickaxe left an afterimage in Levi's hand, and a neat rectangular passage two meters high continued to extend underground at an extremely fast speed.

Levi dug in front, while Gandalf held a torch in the back to act as a light source.

"Wait a moment."

After digging for a while, Gandalf suddenly called out to ask Levi to stop.

"We should be very close. Let me take a look inside first."

He took out his cane and knocked it on the ground.

A transparent ring of light burst out from his body, ignoring all obstacles on the road, and continued to expand and extend.

The halo of light crossed over the rock formations, across all kinds of debris, and covered a large group of goblins in the cave. However, they were not aware of it and were still doing their own thing.

Rarely, Gandalf cast a range detection spell.

Before entering Middle-earth, wizards were subject to many restrictions. One of them was that their divine power could not be revealed too much in front of mortals. This resulted in Gandalf often having to use swords and clubs to solve problems.

But in front of Li Wei, this restriction seemed to be relaxed a lot.

Of course, he is just relaxing a little. If he really liberates them all, he might be able to cut off the entire mountain.

You must know that in the unrestricted "War of Wrath" in the ancient era, an entire continent was sunk.

"Right over here, I see them."

Gandalf pointed in the direction and said: "Dig fifty meters this way and then down."

Dong dong dong dong dong…

Levi continued to swing the pickaxe, knocking off the rocks one by one, and soon he arrived at the place Gandalf said.

Snap.

Another stone was dug out, and a burst of light emerged from below.

The Orc Town Center has arrived.

Levi poked half of his head out and saw a fat figure sitting on a flat stone, interrogating the thirteen dwarves who were surrounded.

On the ground were their confiscated weapons.

After collecting the weapons, the goblins continued to search, and soon found a pile of silver tableware and candlesticks engraved with "Made in Rivendell" in small letters.

"Originally produced in the Second Age of Rivendell, no trash can be given away."

The Orc King conveniently threw these antiques, which were at least three thousand years old, aside. They really didn't like the elves' things.

As for why these things were found...

It was a "souvenir" taken away from Rivendell by some dwarves.

Obviously, his automatic picking function is better than Levi's, and he can pick it up without knocking it down.

"Hey, look who I found, isn't this Thorin Oakenshield." After checking the trophies, the Orc King suddenly saw Thorin among the dwarves, and his big face suddenly burst into laughter.

"I know that your head is valuable - whether it's alive or dead."

"Go tell Azog that the Dwarf King was captured by me and ask him to come with the reward."

A goblin is sent out to deliver the message.

Just when the Orc King was about to continue to attack these dwarves, a goblin picked up a sword collected from the ground next to him, pulled it out and took a look.

"Uh-huh-"

As soon as he pulled it out, he was startled and quickly threw the sword aside. The Orc King glanced at the ground and was suddenly frightened. He stepped back and even accidentally trampled to death a man behind him. Just a relatively skinny goblin.

"It's the 'biting sword', the biting sword that wiped the necks of thousands of orcs!" he shouted.

Wow——

The surrounding goblins suddenly moved away and exited the circle. No one was willing to get closer to the sword.

Even though the original owner has been dead for many years, the sword still retains its power.

"You damned fellows!" The Orc King was strangely angry.

"Punish them! Whip them to death! I'm going to peel off their skin and cut off their heads!"

Snap!

Some goblins raised their whips and whipped the dwarves, some threw the dwarves to the ground and beat them with fists and feet, and some raised their bone blades to kill them.

"It's time for us to go!"

Seeing the dwarves in danger, Gandalf immediately jumped down first.

At this height, even Levi, who had the fall protection enchantment, had to think twice.

This old man is good, he jumped as soon as he said.

Levi ate a golden apple in advance.

"Then I will..."

Boom!

Before Levi jumped down, a dazzling white light suddenly burst out of the cave, and a strong airflow exploded outward with Gandalf as the center. The debris under his feet flew far away in an instant, and a large group of goblins around him flew out uncontrollably like a typhoon and fell into the deep valley.

Even the Orc King, who was farther away, was affected. His sturdy chair made of metal and wood was blown away by the huge impact force, and his fat body rolled to the ground, screaming in pain.

Boom!

The white light dissipated.

At this moment, there was no one standing here except Gandalf. The goblins who were close had long disappeared, and those who were far away were all crawling on the ground to avoid the storm.

Even the Orc King, who was so heavy, had to lie on the ground.

Thorin opened his eyes.

"Gandalf..."

The wizard drew out his long sword, and the ring of fire on his hand glowed faintly.

"Pick up your weapons and fight!"

The fire of hope in their hearts was ignited, and the dwarves pushed away the nearby goblins, each took back their weapons, and followed Gandalf to kill.

"That's the enemy fencing sword!" The Orc King recognized the sword in Gandalf's hand.

It must be said that as the king of goblins and one of the leaders of the orcs in the Misty Mountains, he is indeed knowledgeable.

Gandalf knew all the swords that he didn't recognize. It was hard to say which of them had existed in Middle-earth longer, but in fact, the lifespan of Orcs seemed to be quite long. Even Azog was at least two hundred years old now.

After recovering, the Orc King immediately raised his skull scepter in anger and commanded the goblins to chase forward.

After the first attack, perhaps because there were too many people present, or perhaps because of some other reason, Gandalf could no longer cast the powerful spell he had before. He just pulled out Glamdring and led the dwarves to break out.

A group of goblins followed closely behind. After the initial shock, they immediately reacted and surrounded them in an overwhelming manner. For a while, there was a lot of noise, and there were enemies everywhere.

No matter how powerful you are, thousands of goblins, can't you beat fourteen of you?

The group soon fell into a disadvantage.

However, at this moment, a nightmare-like black figure fell from the sky, and the long sword slashed forward, creating a small vacuum zone.

"Ah!"

The Orc King took another step back.

"It's him, the vicious human, the enemy of Orcs!"

Levi swung a sword casually, and the long sword passed through the goblin's neck. The goblin blocking the way in front of him froze in place, his eyes darting around, and for some reason his body suddenly became uncontrollable.

Levi raised his hand and gently patted the goblin's head.

Snap.

A head fell to the ground.

This sword is a bit too sharp.

Many times it can cause more than 12 points of damage - that's just a minimum number.

Generally, when the enemy has little armor, they are directly cut in half and killed instantly.

At the narrow entrance, Levi was alone here, and every sword would sweep away a group of goblins. Those goblins that were swept away seemed to be thrown like fire bombs, knocking down another group of those who squeezed in from behind.

This is the power of the sweeping blade. Every attack will directly cover a range, and hit as many as you can.

Levi began to want to try to add the knockback enchantment. This enchantment may not be as useless as in the game.

Behind Levi, the dwarves ran forward and couldn't help looking back.

At this moment, there was not a single goblin between Levi and them, and a buffer zone was cut directly.

"Don't look, hurry up now!" Gandalf urged, although he couldn't help looking a few times.

The Orc King was surrounded by the goblins, closely guarding behind him, staring at the sword in Levi's hand.

He didn't know the sword that made him feel cold in his heart. He had never seen it before, nor had he heard of it.

But from now on, Levi made him know it.

Stroking the sword flashing with cold light in his hand, looking at the group of goblins in front of him who hesitated and dared not move forward, Levi said the words again:

"Come, try to get past me."

(ps. Today is still 5.5k words, the more the better)

When I was reading the materials, I found one thing. In "The Hobbit", both Gandalf and Gollum called the orcs in the orc town Goblin, and the orcs who were good at fighting outside were called Orc. There were two names for orcs in the same work.

Although from the original materials, Orc (Oc) or Goblin (Goblin) both refer to the type of "orcs", and it doesn't matter what they are called, but according to the above clues, it can be inferred that Tolstoy may have made some distinctions between the types of orcs. When he described the smaller and more cunning orcs in the cave, he called them "Goblins", and when he wrote about the orcs who liked to plunder and fight all year round, he called them "Orcs".

For various considerations, the name of the original work is still used here, and the names of the two tribes are also distinguished.

By the way, I would like to thank the friends who are willing to help correct the typos. Sometimes I really can't find them by myself, and this can improve the perception of some later readers.
