Chapter 86: Additional Allies Great Eagle!
The situation on the battlefield is always changing rapidly. Being in it, Bilbo can feel the frightening danger even if he does not participate in the frontline battle.
Since he was on a higher ground, his field of vision was wide enough, and he could see many things that happened on the battlefield.
When the three-party coalition of humans, elves, and dwarves launched a charge, the orcs' military formation fell into some kind of panic. Just as the orcs changed their formation and prepared to face the offensive, the elves once again sent a larger number of troops to rush into the enemy's formation.
.
Many orcs began to retreat towards the river, trying to escape from this trap. The wolves in the orc army also rushed left and right on the battlefield like crazy, preparing to break out of the way.
Just when Bilbo, who saw all this, thought that victory was just around the corner, a frightening shout came from the top of the mountain in the distance.
At some point, an orc army circled the top of the mountain from the other side. Now these ferocious warriors were charging down the mountain with bared teeth, aiming directly at the rear and flanks of the coalition forces.
Faced with the enemy's sudden surprise attack, the advantage that the coalition had just gained was completely lost. The defenders could only resist the first wave of fierce counterattacks from the terrifying black tide.
Time passed slowly, and the orcs gathered in the valley again, followed by groups of wargs, followed by the imperial guards of the orc king Bogg. This group of imperial guards can be called the elite warriors among the orcs.
Each one is tall and holding a sharp blade.
Soon, night gradually began to cover the dark clouded sky, and huge bats were still flying above the heads of elves and humans, even greedily sucking the blood of the wounded. Bard's east slope position came under a fierce attack, and the defenders were forced to
Slowly retreat. The elves were trapped near Wuqiu's outpost, and the elven nobles stood guard around the king.
The next second, a melodious horn sound came from the entrance of the dragon cave - they had all forgotten Thorin! The protective wall at the entrance of the dragon cave rumbled into the protective pool under the operation of the mechanism, and the king of the country under the mountain rushed out of the dragon cave first.
hole, followed closely by his loyal companions.
They took off their cloaks and wore shining armor, with angry red light flashing in their eyes. On the dark battlefield, this group of dwarves looked like red-hot gold dazzling after the flames.
The orcs on the top of the mountain threw a large number of stones to attack them, but they still rushed down the hillside regardless of their safety and rushed to the battlefield. The formation of the wolf knights was completely broken up, and they were either hacked to death or fled in all directions. Thorin furiously
Wielding a battle ax, it seemed that no weapon could harm him.
"Everyone, come with me and charge! Together we will drive these cruel and evil beasts away from this land!" At that moment, the back of Thorin leading the charge looked so majestic, just like a real king under the mountain.
People respect!
Upon hearing Thorin's call, all the dwarves under Dann abandoned their original enemies and ran to Thorin's aid.
At the same time, many human townspeople also cooperated and shifted the focus of their attack targets to the direction of Thorin. The elven spearmen on the other side also launched a counterattack. The orcs were once again suppressed back to the lower ground, and the valley was full of people.
The dark corpse of an orc.
But the advantage brought by this charge did not last long, and was quickly blocked by the dwarf army that was mobilized.
At this time, many humans and dwarves had died heroically behind him, and many long-lived elves who should have lived happily in the forest also gave their lives.
As Thorin led his army forward step by step, fewer and fewer warriors followed him. Along the way, many warriors were defeated and destroyed by the enemy using various human wave tactics.
Soon, these chargers were besieged, and the generals who originally led the offensive were forced into a circular formation to withstand attacks from all directions. Orcs and wolves launched waves of merciless raids.
The Imperial Guards of the Orc King Bogg also howled and launched an active offensive at the same time. Thorin's weak front began to collapse like a sandcastle facing a big wave. The friendly forces outside the encirclement had no time to care, because at this time the Orcs The offensive was strengthened, and the defenders on the east and south slopes were attacked by more than twice their strength. The remaining elves and humans on both sides were completely suppressed.
Bilbo was helpless and could only sadly watch this tragedy happen in front of his eyes. He and the elves guarded the position of Uqiu. Part of the reason was because the chance of escaping from there was relatively high. If he had to die on the battlefield, he would rather Fight alongside the Elf King.
At the same time, Gandalf was sitting aside and looking at his old wand, as if preparing to activate some desperate final spell.
This decisive battle that will determine the fate of many races present is about to reach a critical moment!
"It's all coming to an end soon!" Bilbo thought: "The orcs will soon capture the dragon's lair, and we will either be massacred or captured as slaves. After all the adventures I have experienced, this scene is still sad. Makes me want to cry. I would rather that evil dragon be alive and guarding that damn treasure than watch Thorin, Balin and the other good dwarves die without a burial place.
The same goes for Bard, the townspeople of Long Lake Town, and the elves. I really wish this battle had never happened. Unfortunately, this is all delusion. Maybe today, we will all die here together."
The dark clouds were swept away by the strong wind, and the afterglow of the setting sun illuminated the west. Under this rare light, Bilbo took the opportunity to look at the situation on the battlefield. He shouted, and an exciting sight appeared in front of him: a group of noble black figures. Appearing in the distant light...
"Look! It's the eagle. Our eagle friends are here!" Bilbo Hospital recognized the huge figures of the eagles: "The leader seems to be the Eagle King!"
Speaking of eyesight, Bilbo is obviously very good as the snitch in the team.
Even though the eagles are huge, there are still only small black dots in the sky far away from the ground.
Perhaps this is why the big eagle did not attract the attention of the soldiers from all sides who were fighting bloody battles on the ground when it first appeared in the sky.
It wasn't until Bilbo's shouting voice sounded that many elven warriors around him raised their heads excitedly. Compared to Bilbo, the elves who had been living in the mountains for the past hundreds of years were not interested in being active in the misty mountains and the mountains. The big eagles in the mountain range are naturally very familiar.
Knowing that they could obtain such a group of powerful and brave beast allies in such a hard-fought battle, even the elf warriors who were very proud of their martial arts were very happy.
"Everyone, get down, the eagles are ready to rush down!" Bilbo shouted, waving his arms.
On the noisy battlefield, the chopping sounds of various weapons could be heard all the time. In comparison, the sounds made by the short Bilbo were not so easy to attract the attention of others.
Fortunately, the elven warriors around Bilbo had been paying close attention to this little hobbit snitch, so as soon as they heard Bilbo's reminder, the curious eyes from the elves around him followed Bilbo and looked up at the sky, and soon
Many elves and other dwarf warriors saw the figures of big eagles soaring down from the sky.
After confirming the authenticity of the news about the arrival of the giant beast allies, Bilbo no longer needed to bother to remind him. Soon many elves, dwarves and human warriors were shouting for their companions to prepare to avoid the attacks from the friendly eagles.
Huge waves may cause casualties when coming down.
"They're coming, they're coming! Get down!" Bilbo shouted again. At the same moment, a huge and heavy stone was smashed down from the top of the mountain. This shock wave hit Bilbo.
Bo's head.
With a bang, the unlucky hobbit fell down and lost all consciousness.
.....
When Bilbo regained his consciousness, he was really alone. He was lying on the ground of Wuqiu. There was no one nearby. The sky above his head was cloudless, but it was a bit cold. He was shaking all over and felt as if he had fallen.
He felt as cold as in the ice, but his head felt as hot as if it was on fire.
"I wonder what happened?" He said to himself: "At least, I did not become a hero who died heroically, but it seems that there are many opportunities!"
The hobbit sat up in agony, and the shouting and killing sounds around him before he fell into unconsciousness had become very faint and inaudible.
Looking around, the orc army that once filled the valley was reduced to a pile of wreckage, with ownerless swords scattered in all directions.
After a while, Bilbo, who was sitting there, seemed to have regained his energy and eyesight. He could vaguely see elves walking around beside the rocks below.
At this time, the gate of Longxue was quite busy with people coming and going.
The dwarves seemed to be busy demolishing the city wall, but there was deathly silence everywhere.
It's just that compared to before, there are no war cries here, and there are no hymns to celebrate victory. The air is full of sadness.
"If I read it correctly, we won! Most of the orc army was killed or driven away by us!" He touched his painful and swollen head and said, "It's just that the atmosphere is so dull. How are everyone doing?
Already?"
While mumbling, Bilbo noticed a tall figure climbing up the rock, and the broad shadow of the fat dwarf Bombur enveloped him.
"Bilbo, so you are here!" The man lowered his head and looked at Bilbo and said, "We have been looking for you for a long time, but we really didn't expect you to be sitting on this crack in the stone. Let me see your head.
It seems like something hit your head and your head is bleeding."
"It shouldn't be a big problem." Bilbo said, "The only bad thing is that I'm a little dizzy, but I should be fine after a while."
"Come on, I'll take you to a place. Thorin is waiting for you there!" Bombur picked up Bilbo with some difficulty, and Bombur seemed to look a little sad.
Even though he was obese, Bombur still walked very fast.
Soon, Bilbo was sent to a camp in the valley; Gandalf stood there with his arm bandaged; not even the wizard could escape unscathed. Almost everyone nearby was holding a weapon.
When Gandalf saw Bilbo, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Bilbo, you're still alive!" he shouted, "I'm glad to see you alive and well in front of me. I have to say that the war just happened.
It's really scary. Forget it, let's not talk about these useless things for now. Come on!" He said solemnly. "Thorin is waiting for you!"
With that said, Gandalf led the hobbits into the camp.
"Thorin!" he said, "I brought him."
Thorin Oakenshield, covered with wounds, lay in front of him, his broken armor and broken ax lying on the ground.
As if sensing Bilbo entering the camp, Thorin, who was seriously injured, couldn't help but raise his head.
"Farewell, Master Bilbo Baggins! As a Hobbit Snitch, I have to say you did a good job." He said: I want to take back what I said and did to you at the cave door.
You are a loyal friend and an extremely brave and wise companion. During the adventure along the way, I regret that I did not realize this earlier. I have never solemnly thanked you. Regarding this,
I'm very sorry."
Bilbo grabbed Thorin's outstretched hand sadly, "No, Thorin, I thank you too." He said, "Thank you for allowing me to go on this adventurous journey with you. This
It will be the most beautiful memory in my life. I am honored to be able to walk with you, the well-deserved king under the mountain!"
"Thank you, Bilbo." Thorin said: "It is also an honor for me to have your friendship. I hope you will not be too sad. At least, I think after this battle, the elves and humans must also realize your wisdom.
and greatness. I wish you all the best in your future journey. Now, I think it is time to say goodbye to you. I will return to the embrace of the ancestors and gods. Goodbye, Bilbo!"
Bilbo turned away secretly, wrapped himself in a blanket and found a corner to sit down.
The sadness of losing Thorin made him start to cry loudly like many of his dwarf companions around him. The crying ended until his eyes were swollen and his voice became hoarse.
In fact, it was not until a long, long time later that Bilbo completely let go of this sad past.
...
During the rest time, Bilbo was not idle either. He learned about the entire process of the war from the mouths of his dwarf companions who had personally experienced the battlefield and survived to the end.
The reason why the giant eagles were able to arrive on the battlefield in time to rescue everyone was thanks to the giant eagles paying attention to the movements of the orc army early on.
Therefore, as soon as the big eagles smelled the atmosphere of war, they immediately flew in groups led by the Eagle King to help out. They attacked the orcs on the hillside, causing them to fall off the cliff, or rush into the enemy screaming.
In the formation; soon after, they drove away all the enemies on the lonely mountain. The elves and humans on the slopes on both sides could finally join forces to support the battle in the valley.
Even though the great eagles joined the good side and extended a helping hand to the coalition forces, the evil orcs still had the upper hand with their huge numerical advantage.
Until the critical moment, Beorn, a skin-changer who had had a happy friendship with the dwarves, joined the battlefield. He appeared alone in the form of a giant bear. Under the horrified eyes of the orcs, his figure seemed to become more...
