Chapter 92: Changes in the situation
Inside the city.
The eagles looked for a place to stay and rested in the ruins of the Valley City.
Radagast and Beorn jumped down from the eagle and ran in the direction of Gandalf.
“You’re here.”
Gandalf greeted them, and then he greeted the Eagles.
"Judging from the current situation, it shouldn't be too late for me to come."
"You are right. You have come at the right time, Radagast and Beorn."
Gandalf invited the two men to the city wall, and looking at the stone wall that Levi had just built at the foot of the mountain in the distance, he said, "Our plan has just encountered some obstacles, and you are here to help. This is a very appropriate time."
"That's good."
“But the situation still does not look optimistic.”
Beorn the Skinchanger spoke.
Although Levi and others successfully climbed up Raven Ridge, the army outside the wall did not decrease at all. They were still making various attempts. For example, the huge rocks flying in the sky never stopped.
If it were an ordinary wall, it would have been smashed several times.
"Trust Levi, they'll get it done."
"That human?"
Beorn murmured, "My wild instincts tell me that if I become his enemy, my best option is to flee."
"Perhaps he is indeed worthy of trust."
At this point, Beorn seemed to suddenly think of something, and he said, "Radagast, I remember you just said that you had something important to tell Gandalf."
"Ah, yes!"
Radagast slapped his forehead.
"I was just going to say that, Gandalf. I saw a host of Orcs coming down from the mountains in the north, towards Ravenhill."
"They're heading toward another entrance at the top of the mountain."
"not good."
Gandalf frowned.
"Thorin and the others are in danger."
"What about the human?"
"He's fine."
“But he may not be able to take care of everyone.”
Gandalf paced back and forth, looking at the Orc army that was blocking the city wall tightly, and for a moment he was at a loss what to do.
"We can go and provide support," Beorn offered.
Just at this moment.
Buzz——
The Orcs' command horn sounded again, and the army on the left marched forward to attack.
Hmm? Gandalf thought this was a strange move.
"shooting!"
But the defenders on the wall would not miss this opportunity.
Whoosh——
After several volleys of arrows and firework rockets, the advancing party soon lost all the standing Orcs.
Buzz——
The command desk issued another order, and a column of orcs kept retreating and collided with the army behind them. Then the wargs attacked, baring their teeth at the battlefield without enemies. Then there was the troll squad that hit the wall, the army that wandered around, and the logistics that stopped working...
There was chaos on the battlefield.
“What on earth are they doing?”
Everyone on the city wall felt a little confused.
"I remember there was a halfling traveling with you, but he doesn't seem to be here."
At this time, Beorn looked left and right, and suddenly said something.
"Oh, you mean Bilbo? Isn't he over there..."
"Um?"
"Bilbo?"
Old Gandalf looked at the empty city wall and became panic-stricken.
"Where's Bilbo?"
He quickly walked to the soldier he had instructed before and asked:
"Where is the hobbit I asked you to watch?"
The soldier lowered his head, pointed in a direction and said, "It's right there."
"where?!"
"Just..."
"Why is he gone?"
Bud noticed the unusual movement here and walked over quickly.
He grabbed the soldier and forced him to look up.
What caught my eye were two large swollen eye circles.
"Alfred?"
Bud frowned.
"Tell me, when did he leave?"
Alfred quickly replied, "I'm sorry, sir, I, I'm not sure either."
Gandalf felt a headache.
What a rotten thing! He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, ran to the city wall and shouted at the chaotic battlefield: "You stupid guy, come back here!!"
However, these words are destined to be heard only by a few people around.
The Hobbit has long disappeared.
The other side.
On the back of Raven Hill, a place that no one noticed.
Halfway up the mountain, two nimble figures were jumping on the rocks, climbing up continuously.
"We must hurry, Tauriel."
Legolas jumped up and said, "I didn't expect the army to arrive ahead of time. We are still a step behind."
"I hope everyone here is okay."
When the two elves arrived at Lonely Mountain, the army had already surrounded the city wall, which made them lose the opportunity to enter through the city gate.
So he had to change the route and rely on his own excellent conditions and skills to climb up the watchtower on the mountain.
"Yeah, I hope they're okay..."
Taoriel held tightly in her arms a small object given to her by a dwarf, and climbed up even faster.
Elves are always sensitive to changes in mood.
Legolas saw all the changes in Tauriel, but he chose to remain silent and said nothing.
As for Tauriel, the Elf Prince regarded her more as a reliable comrade who could be trusted with his back, or a role like a sister or close friend with whom he had a deep relationship.
Apart from this, there is nothing else to think about.
To a certain extent, Tauriel made up for the "family affection" that Legolas lacked since childhood.
For this reason, when Thranduil ordered Tauriel to be expelled, Legolas chose to leave with her.
When watching Tauriel fall into some kind of emotional whirlpool from which she could not extricate herself, Legolas chose to remain silent, and even showed implicit support to a certain extent.
Although he neither understood nor felt it, he knew that it might be 'love' - the most important emotion for an elf.
"There are bats..."
Halfway up the mountain, Legolas suddenly grabbed the claw of a huge bat and flew up with it.
Although Tauriel was somewhat surprised at such a bold move, she quickly learned to grab the other bat and follow Legolas.
Only elves can do this. If it were any other race, the plane would crash on the spot.
Soon, the two flew to the top of Raven Ridge.
After finding a suitable place to land, Legolas took out his dagger and stabbed the bat in the belly, thus ending this one-way flight.
Buzz——
The orcs' horns sounded and flags were signaled.
"Oh no, they're starting to attack!"
At this time, Taoriel also landed and looked up.
"Over there, that's their command post."
Legolas looked in the direction Tauriel pointed, took a few steps forward, drew the longbow behind him, and seemed eager to try.
"Let me see who their commander is."
There are no orcs nearby, this is a great opportunity to behead them! "I saw..."
"It's Levi!"
"?"
Legolas opened his eyes a little wide.
"Levi!?"
Click, click, click.
At this moment, Levi was still constantly fiddling with the mechanisms and waving flags, having a lot of fun.
"That's enough! Stop it!!"
A roar came from behind a tower.
It was Azog. He finally couldn't hold it anymore and jumped out to stop it.
Of course, there is a reason why he dared to show up.
Behind him, a large number of Orcs from Gundabad marched forward in unison, crossing the ruins and rubble, and finally stood on both sides of Azog.
The army was endless, with no end in sight, and was no less than the army below the mountains.
Their source is another road north of Raven Hill.
In a short while, the entire mountain was occupied by them, and it was so densely packed that there was no space at all.
These are the reasons why Azog dares to face Levi.
In fact, if this large army had not arrived, he could have held on a little longer.
"Now, let me see how capable you are!"
Azog waved the butcher knife in his hand and pointed it directly at Levi, even ignoring Thorin who was standing beside him.
“Prepare for battle!”
Thorin spoke in a deep voice to the dwarves behind him, tightly gripping the sword in his hand.
"Levi, if I can't go back, please tell Bilbo for me that he is an absolutely qualified warrior and a friend I will always be proud of."
"That's not what you said before. Remember, you were the one who first refused to let him join the battle."
Thorin shook his head and said nothing more.
Levi continued:
"My suggestion is that you talk to him yourself."
"I'm not your messenger."
