late at night.
Changhu Town.
Clouds cover the crescent moon.
The night grew darker.
A group of hideous-looking orcs wearing armor quietly appeared on the rooftops at the edge of Changhu Town.
The ferocious orc, who was tall and strong, wearing steel thorn armor, and half of his head covered with black thorns, looked at the silent Changhu Town in front of him, waved his hand and said coldly: "Come on, find the dwarves."
As soon as the words fell, a group of orcs behind him immediately climbed up to the roof in front of them.
This orc team is naturally from the team that intercepted and killed everyone in the expedition team two days ago.
The leader is none other than the half-orc Borg, the son of the half-orc leader Azog.
One day ago, the orcs led by Borg chased and lost the expedition team on the edge of the Long Lake.
After hard work and long detours day and night, we finally arrived at Changhu Town.
A large number of orcs carefully climbed on the roof.
It's just that no matter how gentle the movement is, if there are too many, it will inevitably cause some movement.
What's more, these orcs are far from being so careful.
In a house with lights still on.
Bud's eldest daughter Snowge and youngest daughter Tilda were busy in the kitchen making midnight snacks.
Baan is trying to make arrows.
At this time, the sound coming from outside the house made Xue Ge look happy. He looked at his sister beside him and said, "Dad must be back. I'll go take a look."
After saying that, Xue Ge quickly walked to the door and opened it.
But it was dark outside and the surroundings were quiet. There was no trace of his father Bud.
Not finding his father, Xue Ge just took a brief look and planned to turn around and return home. However, when he inadvertently looked up, he saw an ugly and hideous monster standing on the roof diagonally opposite.
What was even more terrifying was that Xue Ge found that the monster was staring at him.
"ah..."
A subconscious scream.
Xue Ge slammed the door and immediately returned home.
"We were discovered by humans..."
The strong orc who was discovered immediately reported sharply to the leader Borg behind him.
Borg waved his hand coldly without raising his head: "Kill him!"
After speaking, he looked at the other orcs and immediately shouted in a low voice: "Move quickly, we must find those dwarf bastards!"
After receiving the leader's order, the little orc leader immediately called on the nearby orcs to quickly crawl towards the human house with lights on the opposite side.
"What's wrong?"
"What's wrong sister?"
Xue Ge screamed and quickly retreated into the house. Barn and Tilda immediately became concerned and asked.
"Hurry, hide quickly, I saw monsters on the roof outside, a lot of monsters!"
Xue Ge spoke in panic with an uncertain expression, and his sister Tilda was immediately stunned for a moment. He still didn't know what monster her sister was talking about.
But although Ba En also looked panicked, he was still a boy, and he immediately calmed down slightly. He immediately stood up and asked Xiang Xue Ge: "What kind of monster?"
"There are just ugly and scary monsters. There are many of them, and they are all on the roof."
Xuege took Tilda with her and hid under the thick dining table at home.
After listening to this, Barn quickly ran to his bed and took down a short bow given to him by his father Bard. He also picked up a quiver of arrows that he usually made, and walked quickly behind the thick dining table.
At this moment, there was a sudden and obvious sound from the roof.
Xue Ge trembled when he heard the noise, and immediately whispered: "Those monsters must be coming."
"Don't be afraid, dad will be back soon!"
Baan felt a little panicked, and while he opened his bow and set the arrow, he forced himself to calm down and comfort his sister and sister.
"boom!"
Suddenly, the door of the house was kicked violently from the outside.
Two ugly and ferocious monsters immediately appeared at the door.
Snowge and Tilda under the table were frightened and screamed at the same time.
Barn, who was standing behind the wooden table, was also startled. He loosened his fingers nervously and fired the arrow immediately, hitting the eye socket of a terrifying monster that was the first to squeeze through the door, killing him with one arrow.
The first monster was killed, and the second monster rushed in immediately, shouting and waving a black dagger.
The two sisters Snow, Song and Tilda were frightened and screamed repeatedly under the dining table. Barn quickly loaded his arrow and shot another arrow in a hurry.
It's just that the arrow was a little crooked and failed to hit the orc that was charging fiercely in front of him. Instead, it hit the head of another orc that appeared at the gate again from behind.
The orc behind him fell to the ground.
The orcs in front rushed forward ferociously. Before Barn could open his short bow, he raised the sturdy wooden stool beside him and smashed it.
"boom!"
The strong stool suddenly hit the orc's head, and the orc immediately stopped, became unstable and fell to the ground.
At this time, two orcs appeared at the door again and jumped down from the roof above.
Just as the monster was yelling, he was about to rush into the house.
"Whoosh..."
There was a muffled sound.
Two orcs who were trying to squeeze into the house side by side were shot through their heads with an arrow and immediately fell backwards.
"dad!"
"dad!"
Just when the three brothers and sisters inside thought it was their father Bud coming back, they shouted loudly.
A female elf wearing a green robe, brown leather armor, a tall and well-proportioned figure, a fair and cold face, and delicate pointed ears suddenly appeared at the door.
After glancing at the three brothers and sisters in the room, the female elf was about to turn around and leave.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang.
Two orcs broke through the wooden roof and jumped down.
Before they could stand still, they immediately screamed and rushed towards the three brothers and sisters in the house.
The female elf who had just taken a step immediately stepped back, opened her bow and nocked an arrow, and shot one of the orcs to death with one arrow. She immediately put away her bow and arrows, drew out the dagger from her waist, and stepped into the house.
"Pfft..."
After stabbing the last orc in the room to death with a sword from the neck.
The female elf looked at the three brothers and sisters, who looked nervous and pale, and hesitated slightly before asking, "Have you ever seen a group of dwarves?"
Facing the beautiful savior in front of them, Xue Ge and Tilda's eyes lit up and they were about to speak.
Suddenly a voice came from the door: "I've seen it, they have already gone to Gushan."
Bud said and immediately saw that his three children were intact, he was immediately relieved.
"dad!"
"dad..."
The three brothers and sisters in the room immediately shouted excitedly.
Tilda immediately ran out of her sister's arms and threw herself into her father's arms.
The female elf asked again: "Have you seen the human in the dwarf team?"
"The human in the dwarf team? Is it Uncle Morgan?"
Before Bard could speak, Tilda, who had beautiful amber eyes widened, spoke immediately.
"You're talking about Morgan, of course I've seen him before."
"He went to the Lonely Mountain with the dwarves, just this morning."
Bard put down his little daughter, looked at the female elf in front of him who had saved his three children, and said with a smile.
The female elf who got the news she wanted didn't speak. She nodded to Bard and walked towards the door.
Bud quickly said from behind: "Thank you for saving my child!"
The female elf paused for a moment, then quickly walked out of the door and disappeared into the darkness without saying anything.
The female elf is naturally Tariel, who has traveled thousands of miles to find her husband.
Follow Morgan's footsteps from Long Lake to Long Lake Town.
It's just a step slower every time.
Morgan seemed to be getting further and further away from her.
"Tauriel!"
Just after walking down the two-story building, the elf prince Legolas waiting below immediately spoke.
"Where are those orcs?"
"Still ahead."
"Walk!"
...
The ruins of Dol Guldur.
The sky was dark and filled with dark clouds.
There seems to be no day or night here, always shrouded in shadow.
"quick!"
Gandalf, holding the staff, led the short Thorne to run quickly on the dangerous and dim path full of thorn traps.
A little further behind, a group of orcs riding on gray wargs were chasing after them.
The leader was Azog, the tall, strong, and hideous orc leader.
"catch him!"
"Kill him!"
Azog, who was walking away from behind, waved his sword and hammer, pointed at the figure in front and shouted.
One after another, the fierce and grinning wargs rushed out from the dark paths that extended in all directions, and madly pounced on the two men, one tall and one short, who were running on foot in front of them.
"quick..."
Seeing Thorne starting to slow down, Gandalf grabbed Thorne and strode towards the stone bridge at the exit in front.
Closer, closer!
Finally, as soon as Gandalf and Thorne ran out of the dim path, he immediately turned around and waved his staff towards the towering black tower-like building above the path.
"Bang..."
A dazzling white light suddenly burst out from the top of Gandalf's staff.
The light waves of spell energy visible to the naked eye immediately spread rapidly toward the building above.
"Bang bang bang..."
Wherever the spell energy light wave passed, the cold black building immediately exploded inch by inch with a muffled sound.
Just a breather.
The entire spire-like black building suddenly collapsed and fell downwards.
Gandalf led Thorne quickly to avoid the stone bridge ahead.
"Bang bang bang..."
The huge spire-like wall fell off and hit the stone bridge below.
Most of the stone bridge was immediately broken in the roar.
At this time, the ferocious wargs and orc cavalry from behind arrived.
Looking at Gandalf and Thorne separated by a broken bridge dozens of meters away, Azog shouted angrily: "You can't escape!"
Seeing that the orcs couldn't catch up behind him.
Gandalf gasped and fled forward immediately with Thorne.
Just as the two of them rushed out of the broken bridge, out of the ruined spire, and onto the last long bridge leaving Dol Guldur.
A huge energy storm suddenly swept from the front towards Gandalf and Thorne who were running wildly.
Gandalf immediately pulled Thorne back to his side, and the top of the staff he held immediately emitted a pale white transparent energy shield to protect the two of them.
The pale white energy transparent mask trembled violently, but at least it withstood the energy storm.
When the energy storm disappeared, Gandalf and Thorne quickly looked up and saw a huge black shadow more than ten meters tall, as black as ink, with teeth and claws suddenly appearing in front of them.
The moment the huge black shadow appeared, Gandalf immediately felt an incomparable evil spreading around the black shadow.
Even the surrounding space was immediately polluted by the black shadow, constantly emitting traces of dark and evil mist.
"There is no light..."
A hollow, cold, evil, hoarse sound that makes people feel very uncomfortable just hearing it suddenly emanated from the huge black shadow more than ten meters tall in front of him.
Seeing the terrifying black shadow that suddenly appeared in front of him, Gandalf's expression changed drastically. He immediately held his staff in front of him and immediately protected Thorne behind him.
When the dwarf Thorn saw the dark and terrifying scene in front of him, his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.
"There is no light that can defeat the darkness...the wizard..."
The huge and terrifying black shadow with its fangs and claws bared continued to make evil sounds.
Thorne held one of Gandalf's arms, looking at the black shadow ahead with increasing fear in his eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "He's coming... He's really coming..."
Gandalf was struggling to support himself with his staff.
Yes, even if the black shadow in front of him didn't attack at all, just by appearing in front of him, Gandalf would have to fight hard to stand firm.
"Tell Thorin..."
At this time, the dwarf Thorne, who seemed to be aware of the danger he was about to face, suddenly looked at Gandalf beside him and said loudly: "Tell Thorin that I love him..."
"Can you help me tell Thorin that I love him?" Thorne said urgently with a trembling face.
While resisting the powerful power of the black shadow in front of him, Gandalf looked at Thorn beside him and said loudly: "You will tell him yourself..."
After the words fell, the huge black shadow made a roaring sound again: "You have no chance..."
After he finished speaking, the huge black shadow suddenly surged tens of meters, and immediately rushed towards Thorne beside Gandalf from both sides at an unparalleled speed.
When Gandalf came to his senses, Thorne was screaming miserably and was instantly snatched away by a huge black shadow.
Gandalf was immediately furious. He took a step forward and swung his staff towards the black shadow in front of him.
An extremely dazzling white light group immediately expanded rapidly with Gandalf as the center, and quickly crushed the huge black shadow in front of it.
In an instant, the huge and terrifying black shadow was immediately suppressed by the dazzling white light curtain and trembled violently on the stone wall behind it, as if it was about to burst.
But it was only for a moment.
The huge and terrifying black shadow that originally seemed to be defeated by Gandalf immediately let out an angry roar.
The extremely evil black mist immediately surged to a height of tens of meters, and then rushed towards Gandalf in the white light curtain like an overwhelming force.
"Ho..."
Gandalf's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and raised his staff high to support the dazzling lights around him.
But the light curtain continued to shrink under the impact of countless black mist.
The dead branches of the black trees around the long bridge and the long stone bridge in front were all shattered and exploded in an instant under the sweep of black mist and light curtain.
The extremely turbulent magic energy seemed to flood the entire space.
"Ho..."
Gandalf looked pained and tried his best to hold up his staff to support the white light shield that was getting smaller and smaller around him.
At this moment, countless black mists attacking Gandalf suddenly quickly gathered back and shrank into a ball, and rushed towards Gandalf again.
"Bang..."
The white protective light curtain shattered instantly, and Gandalf was immediately thrown to the ground.
But Black Mist did not take the opportunity to continue attacking but suddenly shrank back.
The next second.
An "eye" exuding endless fire and heat suddenly appeared in the center of the huge black mist.
The "eyes" quickly grow in size as soon as they appear.
In the blink of an eye, it turned into a humanoid figure whose whole body was burning with flames, whose face and gender were unclear.
The moment he saw the flaming figure in the black mist ahead, Gandalf immediately got up from the ground, raising his staff with both hands to try his best to resist the endless, overwhelming and terrifying evil power around him.
Only when Gandalf faced the black mist and could barely hold on did he face the figure burning with endless flames in front of him. The staff in his hands immediately turned into ashes at the speed of his eyes.
Even Gandalf himself was easily rolled up by the black mist, fell hard to the ground, and then was easily pushed up the black wall ten meters high behind him.
Gandalf, who had no power to resist, was severely pressed against a wall more than ten meters high that was covered with ferocious thorny thorns. He watched helplessly as the flaming figure in the black mist in front of him gradually became clear and solidified into a black figure wearing armor, and he cried out in pain. : "Sauron..."
