Alfred the sycophant is dead.
The more than 100 people in Changhu Town died.
The elf first took them to the Lonely Mountain, showed off their power in front of the gate, and then left. Let these people whose hearts are filled with greed rejoice in vain.
Although there were only thirteen dwarves in the mountain, these timid and greedy guys did not dare to face the king under the mountain alone, so they could only leave the lonely mountain with anger and curses.
Unexpectedly, halfway through, the elves decided to return north to fight the orcs.
These guys finally couldn't stand it anymore.
They would never dare to face those terrible villains and murderers. They would not even dare to face the thirteen dwarves. So, this group of humans decided to go home.
Although life in Changhu Town is not satisfactory, it is still better than being so worried.
They say so.
Although Alfred, the flatterer, was afraid that he would be criticized by the mayor and might even be thrown into jail if he returned empty-handed, he would never dare to stay alone in this cold and desolate wilderness, so this time he did not be opposed to.
Hearing that these ignorant fishermen were leaving, Thranduil did not make things difficult for them.
After giving these mortals some supplies, the two sides parted ways in Smaug Wasteland. At this time, they were only three days away from Lake Town, and not far from where Thorin and Bilbo landed.
Behind him, the lonely mountain stood gloomily. To the southwest was the kingdom of the Elf King, and to the south was the home of Changhu Town. Few thought they would be in danger.
But fate is so cruel.
These Lakeland humans, blinded by greed and gold, met the Orcs from the Misty Mountains a day away from home.
These terrible villains and murderers rushed out from the direction of the great green forest in the west and attacked this group of poor humans. There were so many of them that almost all the orcs Turka and the wizard met in the orc town deep in the Misty Mountains ran out.
They wielded machetes and short bows, hunting down this group of humans like rabbits.
In the wilderness, Alfred and the others had nowhere to escape. Soon these poor people were all killed by the orcs, becoming the first batch of innocent souls to be sacrificed in this adventure.
Bargeman Bud's original prediction came true.
Tauriel witnessed it all.
She and Legolas were in the north, separated at the entrance of the Great Green Forest and the Jungle River, wanting to return to the Woodland Kingdom to warn the Elf King.
But she found that she came back too late. Thranduil had already led his army to his kingdom, which he had left many days ago, and headed for the Lonely Mountain.
So she had no choice but to rush to the Lonely Mountain non-stop, and met this group of orcs a day's journey from Esgaroth.
Seeing the people being killed in Changhu Town, she was alone and unable to stop such evil things. They were also worried that the Elf King's retreat would be cut off by these evil guys.
Tauriel could only rush to the Lonely Mountain without stopping.
I hope I can warn the Elf King before this group of orcs.
Third Era 2941, October 4.
At sunset in the afternoon, Tauriel arrived first at the ruins of River Valley City, which was already involved in a fierce battle.
"His Majesty."
Tauriel found the Elf King who was killing the remaining Orcs in the city, and reported to him that a legion of Orcs was coming from behind, intending to cut off the elves' return. She said: "They are most likely orcs from the Misty Mountains. Humans have been slaughtered by them, and we will be next."
As we have said, Thranduil is a king who pays great attention to authority. His love for the elves far exceeds his love for other races in Middle-earth. So when he heard that the elves were very likely to be trapped in a two-front war, he was also very surprised.
The elf prince Legolas was fighting fiercely with the orcs at the main entrance. The elf's sneak attack really made Bolger panic. But when it saw that the Elf King did not take advantage of the situation to attack its rear formation, but occupied the ruins of River Valley City in an attempt to cut off its retreat.
Bolger immediately ordered the orcs under his command to eliminate the dwarf scum in the valley, and at the same time invest troops to hold back the hateful pointed-eared elf king.
Because it knows that help from its Western compatriots may arrive at any time, and victory will still be its own by then.
So Thranduil forgave the captain of the guard for ignoring his orders and sneaking out of his palace with the Elf Prince, and ordered her: "Go tell Legolas and ask him to detach a part of the guard to guard the stone bridge, and then lead The large force is moving to the west of the city, it's time for us to retreat."
Tauriel was shocked.
The Elf King is giving up the rescue of the dwarves and the remaining elves.
The female elf who has experienced the Battle of Karndum in the North and the Battle of Morannon is closer to reality than the passionate but simple elf captain in the original plot. On the one hand, she knows that Thranduil's decision is right.
There were too many orcs, and the elves were unable to deal with attacks from two directions, and they were left just waiting to die.
On the one hand, Tauriel has a deep love and compassion for life in his heart, and cannot bear to abandon those elves and dwarves like this. She asked the Elf King to allow her to stay and lead a small number of guards to hold back the orcs at the main entrance, so as to buy time for most of the elves to leave the battlefield.
Thranduil looked at her deeply and agreed to her request.
So, the elf's horn was finally blown.
However, this is an order to withdraw troops.
Legolas, who was fighting at the main entrance, was very surprised. Then he saw a female elf whom he hadn't seen for a while suddenly appear, so he asked her: "Tauriel, what happened? Why did father order the retreat?"
The female elf took a deep look at Legolas. The elf king's son and Tauriel, who was born as a Silvan elf, had formed a certain relationship over the long years. However, due to factors such as their origins, the relationship between the two leaders Having children is not the last step.
Seeing that it was very likely that we were going to the palace of Mandos today, the heroic female elf couldn't help but said: "Legolas, listen to your father. A group of orcs are attacking, and they are preparing to cut off our return. Continue Staying here is a dead end.”
Only then did Legolas understand what was happening.
Hearing that she wanted to stay here, he decisively refused the king's order.
He said: "No one is more noble than anyone else. If you really want someone to hold these disgusting guys back, let me be the one." He drew the bowstring and shot an orc to death with one arrow.
Then he looked at Tauriel with affectionate eyes and made a vow of love: "Elves may be immortal, but their hearts are also lonely. I can't imagine the years without you, Tauriel. Elberis's Starlight witnesses, I love you! I don’t want to lose you. If we really have to go to the palace of Mandos, I hope that neither you nor I will be alone on the way."
The elves nearby were moved by the love between the two.
Tauriel is even more so.
She looked at Legolas in surprise and affection, her inner feelings finally breaking through, and she responded to Legolas's feelings. "Me too!" she said.
Thus, a sincere and steadfast love was forged on the war-torn battlefield.
Thranduil was extremely angry when he heard that the Elf Prince refused his order and made a love vow with a Silvan Elf.
But he loves his son more.
That was the only thought his wife left for him. The elf's immortality is also a kind of shackles. Every emotion will accumulate in the elf's heart forever, until his heart is overwhelmed.
This is the fate of firstborn children.
Therefore, Thranduil could only order others to retreat, and he stayed to fight the orcs for a life-or-death showdown.
But the elves of the Woodland Kingdom also loved their king. They refused Thranduil's order and stayed to accompany the elves to death.
Everyone knows the rest, the orcs from the Misty Mountains arrived on the battlefield and began to attack the ruins of Riverdale City occupied by the elves.
In the valley, the mountains and plains were full of orcs, and the elves and dwarves were locked in a bitter fight at the same time.
"Kill them! Whether they are elves or dwarves, cut off their heads! I will dig out all their hearts and livers! Pull out all their intestines! Everyone, it's time to counterattack!"
The pale orc laughed proudly.
Thinking that victory is certain.
As a result, Beorn, the skin-changer, arrived.
He originally just wanted to see how the ponies borrowed by the dwarves were doing, but he didn't want to see such a fierce battle.
Out of hatred for the orcs, the bear quickly joined the elves.
He suddenly appeared from behind the enemy's formation and exploded into the center of the battle group like a thunderbolt. His roars were as earth-shattering as war drums and blazing guns. He picked up orcs and wolves in his path and threw them away as if they were just straw and feathers. The thick fur is his natural armor, and even the swords, guns and arrows of the orcs cannot cause him harm.
Beorn dashed through the orcs, disrupting their formation.
The elf got a brief respite.
Thranduil ordered everyone to retreat to the ruins of the church in Riverdale City, intending to hold on there.
It was at this time that Turka Aracano returned from the east riding the dragon Smaug.
"Roar!"
A roar that contained endless anger and sounded like a bolt from the blue came from the sky. The elves, dwarves, orcs, and Beorn all shuddered, and huge fear surged into their hearts.
Everyone couldn't help but turn their heads and look to the south, only to see a huge black shadow with evil winds flying from the sky and heading towards the ruins of River Valley City.
"Dragon! It's Smaug!"
Bilbo was so shocked that his legs trembled and he almost fainted.
But the elf's sharp eyes noticed the figure on the dragon's back.
"Praise Ilúvatar!" Legolas, who had fired all his arrows and started melee combat, shouted in surprise: "It's Lord Turka! He's back!"
At this time, the last rays of the setting sun fell on Smaug's back like a miracle - to be precise, it fell on Turka Aracano.
The light above and below Gushan is golden!
"Roar!"
In the eyes of the orcs who were extremely horrified, the elves who were inexplicably surprised, and the dwarves who were frightened and frightened, a magnificent dragon flame fell from the sky, clearing away the orcs who were besieging the south of the ruins of River Valley City like a plow and sweeping holes!
This was not over yet. After this huge dragon flame, which was like a horse, another slightly smaller but equally powerful blazing dragon flame sprayed towards the orcs below from another direction.
This directly destroyed the morale of all the orcs present.
"The nemesis of the Dark Lord! The nemesis of the Dark Lord! Run away, the fire-breathing human is here again!"
"The real king under the mountain is back, run for your life!"
In the valley, outside the ruins of River Valley City, countless orcs discarded their helmets and armor, rolling and crawling, crying, pushing and rushing toward the majestic mountains in the west without looking back.
"The emperor controls the power of the dragon, returning from the east, bringing the light of hope!"
