Wizard: This witcher is not doing his job

Chapter 262 Quick Rescue

Early the next morning, after a short rest, Wayne set out for Lonely Mountain.

In yesterday's Orc war, although the Woodland Kingdom won a victory, it also suffered a lot of losses. The total number of Orc troops that came to attack them was about 5000 people. Even with the advantage of the terrain, Mr. Wayne is a fool. Despite the heavy efforts, the two sides still suffered casualties of seven to one, with more than 2000 elven warriors injured.

More than half of them need a long period of training before they can move normally. More than 500 people have become permanently disabled. The other 500 people gave their lives to protect their homes.

The number of these more than 2000 warriors accounts for almost one-third of the Woodland Kingdom's army. Excluding the soldiers who must stay at home to protect their homes, even if King Thranduil ignores his past grudges and is willing to send troops to help the dwarves of the Lonely Mountain, At most, he could only send more than 2000 soldiers to support.

But the premise of this kind of support operation is that the dwarves of Gushan are still alive and the kingdom under the mountain has not fallen. Otherwise, the so-called support is meaningless.

Therefore, Wayne's early departure also has another mission, which is to find out the current situation of the Lonely Mountain and tell it to King Thranduil.

Only in this way can the Elf King decide whether to take risks with his people. He is also a racial leader. Although he is kind, he cannot let his people die in vain for meaningless things.

Wayne set out before dawn the next day. There was no room for any delay at this time. Last night was mainly due to the serious consumption of magic power, which prevented him from continuing to control the flying carpet for a long time. He had to rest and recuperate. Otherwise, He may have acted overnight.

Lonely Mountain is not too far away from the Woodland Kingdom. After flying for about twenty hours, Wayne was already close to Lonely Mountain.

However, before he entered Gushan and was flying in the sky, he suddenly discovered that in the direction he came from, he saw a large number of people walking in the dark on the ground, without even lighting torches or carrying luggage. They supported each other and ran as fast as they could, looking extremely embarrassed.

Behind them, there was a group of people holding torches and riding on mounts who were chasing them. From time to time, they would kill some lone people and laugh wildly.

Wayne's heart moved, and he immediately controlled the flying carpet to descend, flying towards those who were chasing him.

Sure enough, when he got closer, he discovered that those who were lighting torches, riding mounts, and laughing crazily were all orcs riding on wargs, and those they were chasing were all dwarves who were running away.

Seeing this situation, Wayne did not hesitate at all and immediately started a mass killing mode, launching an attack on the pursuing Orc cavalry.

First, there was a round of artillery bombardment and alchemy bomb bombardment, letting the dwarves know that they had reinforcements coming, and at the same time, it also caught these orc pursuers by surprise.

Then came the burst shot of the Dragon Song Bow, but this time he used an ordinary bow and arrow. At the speed of one arrow in a few seconds, he hit the Orc pursuers in mid-air and quickly killed those Orcs.

After hearing the explosion, the dwarves who were running away also knew that reinforcements were coming to their side. They immediately stopped running away excitedly, began to pick up weapons, and started fighting with the orc pursuers.

When Wayne was killing the orc pursuers, he saw that the leader of this group of dwarf refugees was the old dwarf Balin and two other members of the expedition team.

After they also discovered that the reinforcement in the air was actually Wayne, their confidence immediately increased.

As companions who have been traveling together for several months, they know the strength of this adventurer very well. The orcs chasing behind him do not pose any threat at all.

So without saying a word, he picked up his weapon and started to counterattack in cooperation with Wayne.

The Orc pursuers were quickly defeated by Wayne's quick killings. Although the dwarf refugees suffered a few casualties, they also successfully eliminated the Orc cavalry who were pursuing them.

At the end of the battle, there were many wounded people on the dwarf side. The old dwarf Balin wiped the blood from his face. There was a wound on his face, and the flesh had been cut and turned outwards, but the old dwarf had no time to deal with it.

He walked quickly to Wayne and said in a somewhat urgent tone:
"Wayne, we are besieged by an orc army in the Lonely Mountain."

"Commanding this army is the Witch King of Angmar and the other four Nazgul."

"We held on for two days and one night, but this afternoon we lost."

"There are too many enemies, and the Ringwraiths also use magic. Thorin and Dyne refuse to choose to escape."

"They brought other warriors to rear for us, and ordered me to take the dwarf civilians to retreat first."

Wayne's brows raised. The two important characters Thorin and Ironfoot Dain did not choose to escape, and Kili and Fili were not seen in this team. Do they want the Turin clan to be cut off? "How are Thorin and Dyne doing now?"

Wayne's expression was also a little serious. Thorin was his most important investor among the dwarves, and he still had several high-level tasks that needed to be delivered to him in order to get rewards, and he had to stay alive.

Dyne Ironfoot is also very important, and is even related to the future Fellowship of the Ring.

If possible, it is best to save these two people.

Balin's expression was very heavy. As an old dwarf who was loyal to the Turin family, he would rather stay behind.

"His Majesty Thorin and Dyne are very resolute, saying that they will not escape from the Lonely Mountain for the second time. They will live and die with the kingdom under the mountain until the last soldier is left, and they will also kill more orcs. "

"Before I left, they took the remaining troops and chose to advance towards a narrow secret passage inside the Gushan. They probably wanted to use those small spaces to limit the number of enemies."

"We escaped using a secret passage, but when we were halfway through our escape, we were chased by some orc cavalry. We didn't meet you until now."

Wayne nodded, but then frowned. Thorin and the other dwarves could choose a narrow place to drill into, but his death claws couldn't do it. Such a large body was not suitable for drilling holes.

Although he was very confident in Robin's strength and believed that the orcs should be unable to defeat this doomsday beast, the dwarves had already been defeated, so he had no choice but to worry.

"How is my deathclaw? Did it stay in the Lonely Mountain, or did it escape with you?"

Hearing Wayne mention the Death Claw, Balin couldn't help showing an expression of emotion on his face. His height could only reach Wayne's waist. He reached out and patted Wayne's thigh and said:
"Speaking of this, it's all thanks to your battle partner Robin. If it hadn't been for his bravery in fighting, he helped us guard the city wall on the Lonely Mountain, and also held back the Witch King of Angmar and most of the Ringwraiths. Our warriors There is no way we can last that long under the attack of the orcs.”

This is not surprising. With the strength of the Death Claw, let it help the dwarves defend the city. Unless they choose to take a detour or use large siege equipment, it is difficult for the orcs to break through the defense line of this giant beast. Only on the battlefield In general, Robin's combat effectiveness is even much stronger than Wayne himself.

It is estimated that if the Orcs did not have the Witch King of Angmar and the four Ringwraiths on their side, it would be difficult for the Orcs to attack the city wall of Lonely Mountain, no matter how many warriors they had, unless the city wall was destroyed directly.

No wonder Thorin and others were able to persist for two days and one night under the siege of the orcs.

With a hint of pride on his face, Bahrain said:
"Wayne, don't worry, we dwarves are not ungrateful people. When we chose to divide our forces, we had already let Robin leave on his own. We saw it fleeing the battlefield with our own eyes. No orcs dared to pursue it."

"Looking at the direction it left, it should have gone to Changhu Town."

After listening to Balin's explanation, Wayne nodded. He patted the old dwarf on the shoulder and said:
"You continue along this road and take refuge in the direction of the Woodland Kingdom!"

"The orc army not only attacked you, they also attacked the kingdom of the woodland elves, but we have defeated that orc army."

"King Thranduil has decided to bring reinforcements to support the Lonely Mountain early tomorrow morning. You go and meet them, tell them the information you know, and make arrangements for the refugees you brought."

As he spoke, Wayne responded to Balin and the dwarves beside him with firm eyes, and said:

"I will head to Lonely Mountain now."

"Regardless of whether Thorin and the others are still fighting, I will try to rescue them. When the Elf King's troops arrive, we will definitely smash the conspiracy of these orcs and destroy the dark forces in the entire north."

Wayne's words were sonorous and powerful, and they immediately aroused the resonance of the surrounding dwarf refugees, and they cheered one after another.

If it were not for the continuation of the race, if it were not for the forced orders of Thorin and Dyne, the new kings under the mountain, these refugees would not choose to escape at all.

They are all descendants of dwarf warriors, and they all have the determination and courage to die with the orcs and die on the battlefield.
