Chapter 92 Changes in circumstances
Inside the city.
The eagles looked for a place to stay and rested on the ruins of the city of Dale.
Radagast and Beorn jumped off the eagles and headed straight for Gandalf.
"You are here."
Gandalf greeted them, and then greeted the eagles.
"Given the current situation, I should not be too late."
"That's right, you are just in time, Radagast and Beorn."
Gandalf invited the two to the city wall, and said while looking at the stone wall that Levi had just built at the foot of the mountain in the distance:
"Our plan has just encountered some obstacles, and you are here to help. This is a very suitable time."
"That's good."
"But the situation still doesn't look optimistic."
The skin-changer Beorn spoke.
Although Levi and others successfully climbed Raven Hill, the army outside the wall did not decrease at all. They were still making various attempts, such as the huge stones flying in the sky, which never stopped.
The ordinary wall would have been smashed several times.
"Trust Levi, they will handle it."
"That human?"
Beorn murmured: "My wild instinct tells me that if I become an enemy of him, the best option is to escape."
"Maybe he is indeed trustworthy."
At this point, Beorn seemed to suddenly think of something, and he said:
"Radagast, I remember you just said that you had something important to tell Gandalf."
"Ah, yes!"
Radagast slapped his forehead.
"I did want to say this just now, Gandalf, I saw an army of Orcs marching down from the northern mountains, in the direction of Raven Hill."
"They are heading towards another entrance on the top of the mountain."
"Not good."
Gandalf frowned.
"Thorin and the others are in danger."
"What about that human?"
"He's fine."
"But he may not be able to take care of everyone."
Gandalf paced back and forth, just looking at the Orc army that was blocked under the city wall, and there was nothing he could do for a while.
"We can go to support." Beorn took the initiative to make a proposal.
At this moment,
Buzz——
The command horn of the Orcs sounded again, and a column of troops on the left marched forward to attack.
Hmm?
Gandalf thought this move was a bit strange.
"Shoot!"
But the defenders on the wall would not miss this opportunity.
Whoosh——
Under several rounds of arrows and fireworks rockets, the team approaching quickly lost the standing Orcs.
Buzz——
The command desk issued an order again, and a column of Orcs kept retreating and collided with the army behind. Then the wargs attacked, baring their teeth at the battlefield without enemies, and then the trolls who hit the wall, the army wandering around, the logistics that stopped working...
The battlefield was in chaos.
"What are they doing?"
Everyone on the wall was a little confused.
"I remember there was a halfling traveling with you, and he doesn't seem to be here."
At this time, Beorn looked left and right and suddenly said something.
"Oh, you mean Bilbo, isn't he over there..."
"Huh?"
"Bilbo?"
Old Gandalf looked at the empty wall and panicked.
"Where's Bilbo?"
He hurriedly walked to the soldier he had asked before and asked:
"Where is the Hobbit I asked you to watch?"
The soldier lowered his head, pointed in a direction and said, "Isn't he right there."
"Where?!"
"Right..."
"Why is he gone?"
Bard noticed the movement here and walked over quickly.
He grabbed the soldier and forced him to look up.
What he saw were two big bruised eye circles.
"Alfred?"
Bard frowned.
"Tell me, when did he leave?"
Alfred quickly replied, "I'm sorry, sir, I, I'm not sure either."
Gandalf felt a headache.
This unlucky thing!
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, ran to the wall and shouted at the chaotic battlefield:
"You stupid guy, come back to me!!"
However, this shout was destined to be heard by only a few people around him.
The hobbit had long disappeared.
On the other side.
On the back of Raven Ridge, where no one noticed.
On the hillside, two light figures jumped on the rocks and kept climbing up.
"We have to speed up, Tauriel."
Legolas said while jumping up:
"I didn't expect the army to arrive in advance, we are still a step slower."
"I hope the people here are okay."
When the two elves arrived at Lonely Mountain, the army had already surrounded the wall, which made them lose the opportunity to enter through the city gate.
So they had to change the road and rely on their own excellent conditions and skills to climb up the sentry tower on the mountain.
"Yes, I hope they are okay..."
Tauriel held a small object given by a dwarf in his arms tightly, and his steps to climb up were faster.
Elves are always sensitive to changes in emotions.
Legolas saw all of Tauriel's changes, but he chose to remain silent at this moment and said nothing.
For Tauriel, the elven prince regarded her more as a reliable comrade who could be trusted, or a sister or close friend with whom he had a deep relationship.
Other than that, he had no other thoughts.
Tauriel made up for the "family affection" that Legolas lacked since childhood to a certain extent.
For this reason, when Thranduil ordered Tauriel to be expelled, Legolas chose to leave with her.
When watching Tauriel fall into a kind of emotional vortex that she could not extricate herself from, Legolas also chose to remain silent, and even showed implicit support to a certain extent.
Although he neither understood nor felt it, he knew that it might be "love" - that was the most important emotion for an elf.
"There are bats..."
Halfway up the mountain, Legolas suddenly grabbed the claws of a big bat and flew up with it.
Although Tauriel was a little surprised by this bold behavior, she quickly learned to grab another bat and followed Legolas.
Only elves can do this, and other races will crash on the spot.
Soon, the two flew to the top of Raven Hill.
After finding a suitable foothold, Legolas took out his dagger and poked the bat in the belly, ending this one-way flight.
Buzz——
The horn of the Orcs sounded, and the flag signal was sent out.
"Oh no, they started to attack!"
At this time, Tauriel also landed and looked up.
"Over there, that's their command desk."
Following the direction pointed by Tauriel, Legolas looked over, took a few steps forward, drew the longbow behind him, and was eager to try.
"Let me see who their commander is."
It just so happened that there were no Orcs nearby, this was a great opportunity to behead!
"I saw it..."
"It's Levi!"
"?"
Legolas opened his eyes a little out of control.
"Levi!?"
Click, click, click.
At this moment, Levi was still constantly turning the mechanism, making random flag signals, and having a lot of fun.
"Enough! Stop it!!"
A roar came from behind a tower.
It was Azog. He finally couldn't hold it anymore and jumped out to stop them.
Of course, there was a reason why he dared to show up.
Behind him, a large number of orcs from Gundabad marched forward in unison, crossing the ruins and rubble, and finally stood on both sides of Azog.
The army was endless, with no end in sight, no less than the one under the mountain.
Their source was another road north of Raven Ridge.
In a short while, the entire mountain was occupied by them, densely packed with no gaps.
These were the reasons why Azog dared to face Levi.
In fact, if this army hadn't arrived, he could have held on for a while longer.
"Now, let me see how capable you are!"
Azog waved the butcher knife in his hand and pointed it directly at Levi, even ignoring Thorin on the side.
"Prepare for battle!"
Thorin solemnly instructed the dwarves behind him, holding his sword tightly.
"Levi, if I can't go back, please tell Bilbo for me that he is an absolutely qualified warrior and a friend I will always be proud of."
"You didn't say that before. Remember, you were the first to refuse him to participate in the battle."
Thorin shook his head and stopped talking.
Levi continued:
"My suggestion is that you should talk to him yourself."
"I am not your messenger."
