The life-and-death showdown between the two kings has ended. The two races, which have regarded each other as mortal enemies for thousands of years, each of their kings have decided the final battle on this lonely and cold ice.

of victory or defeat.

This battle was not witnessed by anyone, but their result was already obvious. Gao Yuan walked at a gentle pace and came to the body of the Orc leader Azog lying on the ground.

The armor on his chest had been smashed to pieces by a hammer, and his body was covered with large and small scars. Even his only healthy right hand had been cut off by a knife.

From these large and small scars, we can see how fierce the showdown between the two was.

However, these were not the real reasons for his death.

The real cause of Azog's death was that he was decapitated and killed by Thorin Oakenshield with that sharp beast-biting sword.

His head fell not far from his corpse. Gao Yuan used the Blade of Evening Star to gently move Azog's bodyless head.

Its eyes were as big as two copper bells, and its face was full of shock and disbelief. I'm afraid it didn't expect that it would die at the hands of the dwarf it despised the most today.

This terrifying war initiated by Azog can be concluded with his death.

Although, the occurrence and affected areas of this war were only limited to the area covered by Gushan, and at most, the areas such as Long Lake and Woodland Kingdom were added.

In the vast territory of Middle-earth, this is just a small area in the east, but its tragedy and subsequent scope of influence will probably not be smaller than the subsequent War of the Lord of the Rings.

In fact, the number of races and personnel participating in this war far exceeded that of the famous battle that took place in front of the White City of Gondor, the Battle of the Pelennor Fields.

Gao Yuan cannot predict what kind of impact it will have in the future or how much changes it will bring to the future plot.

However, in the foreseeable future, those orcs who suffered heavy losses in this battle will definitely be inactive for a long time.

There are also those evil dragons hiding in the dry wilderness. After this tragic lesson, I am afraid that even if Sauron personally begged them to come out of the mountain, the evil dragons would not be willing to step out of the Gray Mountains.

Sauron has lost one of his capable men, and the nine Nazgul no longer have the Witch-King of Angmar. They will no longer be a threat to the free people.

Gao Yuan slowly walked to Thorin Oakenshield, and looked "side by side" with him at the rapidly reversing situation below. Neither of them spoke a word.

In the western sky, the afterglow of the setting sun is spreading to the land of Gushan without leaving any room, as if to make up for the lack of sunlight for a long time.

Thorin Oakenshield's cousin, Iron-footed Dai Yin, was fighting side by side with Thranduil, the king of the woodland. The two cooperated very well. Together, they led their own people and humans to kill the orc army to pieces.

Do not stay.

The originally neat and orderly army formation of the Orcs quickly broke into chaos, and a large number of fully armed Orc warriors panicked and began to flee in all directions.

If there are still commanders giving orders to them now, these evil orcs may be able to reorganize and fight against the coalition forces.

It's a pity that they haven't received instructions from their commander for a long time.

An army without military command is nothing more than a pile of scattered sand. What's more, they are still exposed to the sun at this time, and their physical strength, strength and fighting will are greatly weakened.

The evil dragons that posed the greatest threat to the coalition soldiers had either been killed by the Eagle King who came from the Misty Mountains for support and led his people; or they saw that the situation was not good and fled the battlefield in a hurry while taking advantage of the chaos.

The trolls, under the sunlight, were all turned into stone sculptures standing in the center of the battlefield.

The Rivendell army that rushed out of the river valley city, together with Beorn who transformed into a giant bear, blocked the retreat of the orc army on the bank of the rushing river, and was engaged in a massacre.

Countless orc corpses floated on the surface of the rushing river, and the dark brown blood turned the river black. Those dirty corpses flowed down the current, and then blocked the icy river downstream, and piled up.

up a hill.

All signs indicate that this time the dawn of victory for the coalition forces has finally arrived.

The sunset, as bright as blood, shines on Gao Yuan and Thorin Oakenshield. Their backs look so majestic to Gandalf and Bard.

"We have already won this war." Gao Yuan said slowly.

Thorin Oakenshield turned his head to look at Gao Yuan standing beside him, a bright smile appeared on his face. This smile was so warm under the reflection of the sunset.

"You are right, we won this war, finally..."

Before Thorin Oakenshield finished speaking, he could no longer support his body. The beast-biting sword in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and his body fell down.

Fortunately, Gao Yuan caught Thorin Oakenshield's fallen body in time. At this time, his whole body had lost all strength, and he was lying in Gao Yuan's arms like a puddle of mud.

"Thorin!"

Gandalf and Bard, who were originally standing behind them, shouted and surrounded them. Gao Yuan untied Thorin Oakenshield's clothes and began to check his injuries.

When Gao Yuan took off the severely deformed armor from Thorin Oakenshield's chest, a shocking bruise was exposed in front of everyone.

Thorin Oakenshield lay in Gaoyuan's arms, spitting out a mouthful of dark red blood. This was a phenomenon that only occurred when the internal organs were damaged.

After checking Thorin Oakenshield's physical condition, Gao Yuan looked at Gandalf aside and shook his head helplessly.

Thorin Oakenshield's body suffered serious internal injuries. At this time, a large amount of congestion had accumulated in his abdominal cavity. He did not know what kind of organ damage Thorin had caused, and he was still losing a lot of blood.

At this moment, Thorin Oakenshield used his last bit of strength to grab Gao Yuan's hand and said:

"Bilbo... help me find Mr. Bilbo Baggins. I hope I can apologize to Bilbo before I die."

"I want to take back from him...the things I said and did to him on the city wall...ahem..." Thorin Oakenshield was only halfway through his words when another mouthful of blood fell from his mouth.

Spit it out from the mouth.

Blood stained his clothes and the ice beneath him.

"Ahem... If I fail to persist until he arrives, Mr. Gao Yuan... I hope you can convey it to him on my behalf... Just tell him that he has done what a friend should really do, and forgive me.

"

Gao Yuan hurriedly stopped Thorin Oakenshield from speaking before he died: "You have to keep this to yourself and tell him in person. I will take you down to find him right now."

"He is now in the river valley city below us. I will take you to find him."

Gao Yuan picked up Thorin Oakenshield's body, and then said to Gandalf and others: "Gandalf, you also help Thorin find traces of Bilbo. If you see Bilbo, tell him I

Wait for him with Thorin in Riverdale City and ask him to come over quickly."

"I'm taking Thorin to Riverdale City now. My friends in Rivendell may be able to save him. Even if they can't save him, they can at least help him wait until Bilbo arrives."
