Chapter 241 The Killing of the Orcs
·
Jing Shen Tian Si
"That...maybe a coincidence." Aaron slowly raised his right hand, "Don't forget, the omens are not only visible to dwarves."
Hearing this, both Gandalf and Thorin calmed down.
"What happened?" Thorin asked coldly.
Gandalf looked solemn, "We are being hunted."
"We have to get out of here," Devlin said.
"No way, we don't have ponies." Oli ran over and said, "They ran away."
"Then we can only fight to the death." Aaron took a deep breath, "I have twelve arrows here, which can destroy twelve enemies.
With the addition of a dozen fighters and two wizards, they might be able to fight a bloody path. "
"That is a bad idea," said Gandalf. "We may kill the Orc scouts, but what about the host after that?
It is impossible for us people to be opponents of an army, so we still have to find a way to escape. "
"I'll lure them away," said the brown-robed wizard Redagast.
"Those are the Wargs of Gundaba, and they'll come after you." Gandalf didn't quite approve of the proposal. If anything happened to the brown robe wizard, it would be a great loss to Middle-earth.
"How about I go?"
After the words fell, everyone turned their attention to Aaron, and the woods suddenly became extremely silent.
"No," said Bilbo at once. "It's too dangerous. You can't outrun those wolves on two legs."
"You have to try." Aaron said with a smile: "If you are lucky, you can still escape."
"Now is not the time to believe in luck!" Redagast pointed confidently at his car, "These are Rabbits from Fort Rosegard, it's hard to say who will win."
......
Ridagest drove the sled pulled by the Rabbits of Rosegarborg, yelled loudly in the green field, and alone led away the wolf spies scattered in all directions.
The rest of the people hid behind a big rock, and when they saw the wolf spies being led away, Gandalf immediately led the crowd to detour from the other side.
But even so, it was extremely dangerous, because they were on a plain, and only irregular boulders could act as a cover, but once they moved, they would be exposed to the perspective of the orcs.
Redagast was very fast, leading a large number of wolf spies around the plain, but he did not distract all the spies.
A half-orc stopped on the way of pursuit. He drove the Gundaba wolf and kept sniffing, seeming to have found the trace of the expedition.
The warg led him to a boulder, then stopped, signaling to the orc dwarves on his back that they were nearby.
The half-orc pulled out the big knife on his back and looked around, searching for the target to kill.
Below the boulder, all members of the expedition team heard the heavy breathing of the warg, and they clung to the stone wall, not daring to make a sound.
It's not that they can't deal with this half-orc, but they are worried that making noise will expose their position.
But more than ten seconds passed, and the warg was still on it and did not leave.
Thorin realized that it was only a matter of time before the other party found them, and immediately decided to act first.
He gave Kili a wink and signaled him to use the bow.
Qili nodded slightly, pulled out an arrow from his quiver, and shot it on the head of the wolf.
The warg roared in pain, and the orc on his back was shaken violently by it. Kili immediately shot a second arrow, which hit the orc in the chest.
The warg and the orcs on its back dropped the boulder at the same time, and five or six dwarves swarmed up and killed them with the fastest speed.
But the screams of the wargs and orcs were particularly clear on the plain, and the warg spies led away by Redagast stopped and looked in the direction of the sound.
"The dwarf is over there." The leader of the half-orc immediately ordered, "Hurry up and chase after him."
The howling of wolves continued, and the sound of galloping was getting closer and closer.
"Run!" Aaron said immediately.
Gandalf also realized that something was wrong, "Follow me, quick."
After all, two legs couldn't run with four legs, and they were still four huge wolf legs. It didn't take long for a few wargs to appear in front of the expedition team, and a half-orc was staring at them.
More and more wargs came from all directions, and the warg spies formed a huge encirclement.
"Surrounded." Aaron let out a long breath, and pulled Bilbo behind him.
"Hold your position." Thorin roared loudly, and the dwarves spontaneously formed a circle, each took up their weapons, and nervously faced the slowly approaching wolf spies.
Bilbo drew out his short sword in a panic, "What should we do now?"
"Of course they were killed."
As he spoke, Aaron took out two arrows from his back and aimed them at the two nearest worgs respectively.
The two arrows were fired at once, and each arrow shot through the wolf's sky cap, and the orcs on their backs also fell to the ground.
Kili immediately replenished his arrows and killed the two orcs.
"Good shot," Dwalin praised.
"It's useless no matter how good they are, there are too many of them, several times our number." Aaron smiled wryly, "Kili, give me your arrow.
Concentrate on breaking through in one direction later, and I will try my best to cover your retreat. "
"Then what do you do?" Bilbo asked worriedly.
"I will catch up with you, these half-orcs can't kill me yet." Aaron said in a deep voice.
He doesn't know how to use magic unless it is absolutely necessary, but when it comes to that, he won't be merciful. If he kills all these wolf spies, no one will know his true strength.
"Where's Gandalf?" Oin asked.
"He left us," Devlin said.
The leader of the orcs rode a wolf and approached slowly. Seeing that the hunting targets were all here, he laughed triumphantly, showing his sharp and disgusting yellow teeth.
"It's really disgusting." Aaron curled his lips in disgust.
Ouli took out his slingshot and fired a stone.
The stone hit the warg on the head, but it didn't hurt.
call out!
Aaron shot an arrow, and the orcs at the head bowed down to avoid it.
But at this moment, Aaron's second arrow shot at the waist of the wolf, and the orc headed by the wolf fell to the ground under the violent shaking of the wolf.
"Damn bastard." The leader of the orcs roughly pulled out the arrows from the wolf's body, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll kill you first in a while."
"Catch the thief first and capture the king first." Aaron walked to Thorin and said in a low voice.
"This principle does not apply to these beasts. Regardless of whether the leader is dead or not, they will never give up hunting us."
"I know, but it's still important to lead.
When I kill him later, you charge the big guy and break out from his direction. "
Thorin took a deep look at Aaron, and was extremely surprised by the 13-year-old child, "How sure are you that you can survive?"
"Well... If there is no accident, you are all dead, and I can live well."
"Understood." Thorin nodded heavily, "I didn't expect that I would entrust the safety of the expedition team to a child.
Kili, give him your arrow. "
"Sorin, this..."
"give him."
"Yes."
Qi Li put the remaining less than ten arrows into Aaron's quiver, "We must follow here alive."
Aaron took a deep breath and quickly drew the bowstring.
An arrow shot at the headed orc at an extremely fast speed.
The head orc dodged immediately when he saw this, but was still shot by an arrow in his arm, and the spear in his hand fell to the ground while suffering from pain.
"what!"
The leading goblin screamed, but he opened his mouth when an arrow pierced his throat.
"kill!"
roared Thorin, and the twelve dwarves and Bilbo charged after Thorin.
At this moment, Gandalf's voice suddenly sounded, "Go this way, fool."
The pace of everyone's charge stopped instantly, and they were at a loss for a while.
Thorin turned around and saw that Gandalf was lying under a boulder less than ten meters away from them, and there seemed to be a cave hidden there.
"What are you doing in a daze?" Aaron said angrily, "Hurry up and run!"
"Hurry up, everyone." Thorin took the lead and ran over, and then guarded the entrance to cover his teammates' retreat.
Members of the expedition jumped into the cave one by one, and the wolf spies quickly surrounded them.
Thorin beheaded a worg that rushed over with a single sword, and after making sure that there were no omissions, he was the last one to jump into the cave.
Several half-orcs looked at the entrance. It seemed that the cave wargs couldn't get in. Even they could only enter one by one.
Aaron returned Kili's arrow to him, "Let's guard it first!"
The two shot arrows respectively, and the two half-orcs were shot to deter the other half-orcs from approaching.
Without the leader, the remaining wolf spies, although they have a numerical advantage, are helpless in the face of this easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack cave.
woo...
The sound of horns came from a distance, followed by the sound of horseshoes.
The sound of arrows piercing the air, the sound of sharp weapons piercing into flesh, the wailing of wargs and the screams of orcs mixed together made people curious about the situation outside.
Although it is not known which righteous man came to help, their crisis has been temporarily lifted.
Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the body of a half-orc rolled down.
Thorin pulled out a silver arrow from the corpse, and his face sank immediately, "Elf."
"The one above is an elf?" Aaron looked at Gandalf, as if he understood why the other party left the team halfway.
"I can't see where the passage leads, do you want to go?" Dwalin noticed the light in the depths of the cave, turned around and asked everyone.
"Of course I have to go." Nuoli said directly, this is the only way, and I can't do it if I don't want to.
"That is wise," said Gandalf, smiling.
"You know where this road leads?" Aaron asked.
"Well... you will understand when you arrive."
Everyone walked through a narrow and steep path that could only accommodate one person, and stopped at the exit.
"It's... so beautiful here." Aaron looked at the river valley in front of him, and couldn't help but widen his eyes. "If Shire is suitable for retirement, then this is definitely a resort for vacation."
In the middle of the valley was a beautiful city, with pines on the upper reaches and beeches and oaks on the lower.
Several waterfalls fall from the mountain wall, injecting vitality into the city, and finally flow into the river below.
"What is this place?"
"Imlatri Valley." Gandalf explained with a smile, "that's what the common people say..."
"Rivendell." Bilbo couldn't help saying the name of the place.
"you know?"
"This is the territory of the elves. The book describes it as a fairyland. I really didn't expect that I could see it with my own eyes."
"Here is the last refuge of the Eastern Sea," continued Gandalf.
Thorin walked up to Gandalf impatiently, and said in a questioning tone, "You have been planning to lure us here to seek refuge from our enemies."
"Your so-called enemy saved us just now?"
"Who knows if they have ulterior motives."
Hearing this, Aaron was speechless, and Thorin's resentment towards the elves was really deep.
"You have no enemies here, Thorin Oakenshield, the only hostility in the Vale comes from you," said Gandalf.
"You think the elves will bless our expedition?" Thorin shook his head. "They will try to stop us."
"Of course, but we have questions to answer."
Thorin was speechless for a moment, the map his father left him had a way to enter the Lonely Mountain, but not many people could interpret it, and there happened to be one in Rivendell.
He regarded the elves as enemies, and he would naturally feel humiliated in his heart to ask the enemy for help, but he had to do so if he wanted to unlock the secrets of the map.
"You need to use your wrists to succeed in this matter, respect." Gandalf looked at Thorin meaningfully, meaning that when we arrive in Rivendell, please calm down and don't cause trouble.
"It also needs a charming charm, so I will be in charge of the negotiations."
"Charming charm?" Aaron curled his lips in disgust, "You are really thick-skinned, can you change your clothes before you say this?
To be honest, if you go in with an empty bowl now, you may come out with a full load. "
"Gaius." Gandalf rolled his eyes at him, "I remember I said that you still need to understand the most basic manners."
Walking down the river valley along a rugged path, and passing through several narrow stone bridges, everyone came to a wide platform.
Two elf warriors stood at the entrance of Rivendell holding swords. They were almost indistinguishable from humans except for their pointed ears.
"Mislanda."
A male elf came down the stairs and saluted Gandalf.
"Linde." Gandalf greeted with a smile.
"Your name is Misranda?" Aaron asked.
"Don't worry, this is what some elves call me." Gandalf shrugged, then looked at Linde, "I have to talk to King Elrond."
"King Elrond is not here."
"Not here? Where is he then?"
The voice fell, and the melodious sound of the horn came from behind.
Hearing this voice, Gandalf seemed to understand something, and turned around with a smile.
An elf cavalry returned to Rivendell through the stone bridge. Seeing this, Thorin thought that the elves were going to attack them, and immediately asked everyone to gather for battle.
The thirteen dwarves took up their weapons vigilantly, and without any explanation, they protected Bilbo in the middle. He was at a loss and looked confused.
Snapped!
Aaron patted his forehead and turned his face away speechlessly.
What about respect?Still want to ask for help with this attitude?
As soon as he came back, you acted as if you were facing a big enemy. Is this different from provocation?
And could it be a little wiser?
This is someone else's territory, so even if you are upset with the elves, you should pay attention to the occasion!
Gandalf was also quite depressed. Fortunately, he was in charge of negotiating. If it was someone else, he would definitely be kicked out as a bad guest.
Hearing this, both Gandalf and Thorin calmed down.
"What happened?" Thorin asked coldly.
Gandalf looked solemn, "We are being hunted."
"We have to get out of here," Devlin said.
"No way, we don't have ponies." Oli ran over and said, "They ran away."
