The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"Elf?" Kellie sitting on the side of the chariot suddenly asked, "Dyne, do you see which elf it is?"

"I didn't see it, the battlefield was too chaotic, I couldn't see them clearly."

Thorin stood up and rode on the goat and pointed his sword at Crow Hill.

"No time, let's go!"

There are not many orcs near Crow Ridge. Most of the orcs were sent to the battlefield by Azog. During the raid, the counterattack of the coalition forces caught him by surprise, so that he had to let more reserve teams into the battle. This left him with only his own guard and a group of goblin mercenaries. It didn't take long for the Demon Hunter to break through the defenses below Crow Ridge. These Guards Orcs have a larger size and better equipment, but their proud physique and weapons do not have much meaning in front of Zelin. The ebony blade can easily cut through these metals, and only in terms of size, the oppressive power of these orcs is not much higher than that of some monsters.

"Go this way!"

Bilbo led them up the ruined steps of Crow Ridge. There are remnants of the past valley city everywhere, and the top of Crow Ridge is connected to the nearby frozen river, making this area even wider. Without Bilbo's leadership, they probably wouldn't find it so easily. Unsurprisingly, when the Demon Hunter and Legolas began to fight Azog's guards, the sound of the horn at the top disappeared.

"We have to hurry up, Azog must have escaped!"

These goblins are shorter than dwarves. If orcs are compared to humans, then goblins may be dwarves in the evil camp, but these goblins are far from the tough and brave dwarves. When the demon hunter fought with them, they almost knew that these goblins would be left here. These small mercenaries are wearing iron armor, but their strength is not even as good as the wolf. They were stayed in Crow Ridge not because they had a strong combat effectiveness and could protect Azog, but when Azog encountered trouble, it could allow these large numbers of goblins to come and delay the invaders.

"We are here to stop them." With each hit of Legolas' arrows, a goblin warrior can fall to the ground. He will even turn around gracefully and drew the arrow from the corpse next to him. Re-shoot another enemy’s head. "Find Azog, and after I kill these goblins, I will go to the nearby mountain to watch for you." Legolas turned and kicked down a brother who was trying to sneak attack from behind. Brin, the arrow in his hand that hadn't hit the string directly pierced the goblin's neck like a short spear.

"Remember, when Polger's army arrives, no matter what, we must retreat!"

"I will remember."

When they came to the top of the mountain, as expected, there was no one on the top of the mountain, only the wooden stakes and wings used by the orcs to command.

Looking at the empty command post above, Zelin half-squinted his eyes, looking for the possible place where Azog might exist. There is no doubt that the pale orc escaped, and the demon hunter used his own perception to find its trace, but Zelin's ears only heard the whistling wind. The cold wind howling over the wasteland covered many things, and this wind could also blow away the scent of the orcs.

"I found the trail!"

But not everything will be buried. The cold caused the snow that fell yesterday to pile up on the ground, and there were messy footprints left by the activities of the orcs, but this did not prevent the demon hunter from finding the traces of Azog. This is much easier than finding a thief in a noisy market.

"Bilbo, keep up!"

Chapter 773: Ambush and Chaser

The footprints of about five orcs stretched from the stakes at the top of Crow Ridge all the way to the bottom. There is not much snow, and the footprints are relatively light. It took a while to make sure that this was indeed a trace of Azog, and not a trace that an orc who came to report would leave on the two goblins, but Zelin did not waste it. , He stood beside Azog's command bone wing, waved the ebony blade and chopped off the wooden stake that erected the bone wing.

"Look, the banner of Crow Ridge has fallen down!"

In River Valley City, the sentry standing on the sentry tower and staring at the distance shouted to the militiamen below, "They succeeded. The king of the orcs has been eliminated!"

"Let's keep attacking!" Bud was glued to the blood of many orcs. They had just retaken this street and wiped out the hundreds of orcs entrenched in it. Those who have weapons and are not afraid of death, follow me and let us defeat the orcs!"

There are not many militias under him, and the next battle will surely kill many militias, but this is the only good opportunity to destroy the orcs. As long as the orcs' troops fall into a rout, they will be able to win. The disintegrated army is no more than a group of running cowards.

Few people know what happened on Raven Hill, but their eyes can see that Azog's command flag fell, and no new command horn appeared after that. The orc's front line began to waver, and even the reserve team that had not yet entered the battlefield stopped behind. The front was the disintegrated unit, and the command behind was nowhere to be seen. Orcs are bloodthirsty, but they like killing, not being killed.

Azog chose a good place. Standing here, Zelin could clearly see the battlefield of Gushan Yilubai and River Valley City. The coalition of dwarves and elves is pressing the backside of the orcs. After losing their command, the backside tends to become a complete defeat at any time. The battle situation in River Valley City is stalemate, but a large number of ogres have been mobilized on the front against the dwarves. After the only remaining orcs in River Valley City have no command, Zelin believes that Bud can command the militia to counterattack, and the militia does not need to retake it. In many cities, they only need to eliminate more orcs in the huge streets of River Valley City.

"Where does this lead?"

The vision of the demon hunter stared at the footprints closely, looking all the way down the footprints. Azog left Crow Ridge, but it will not run away because of being attacked. It will certainly not give up its attack on Gushan easily. Only the owner behind it will not allow it to give up. Besides, Bolger’s reinforcements On the way. Hide and observe the attackers, this is what Azog will do.

"The ruins of the towers." Bilbo panted. "It must be a fortress in the past of River Valley City that monitors the north. I didn't go inside when I came last time, so..."

"Are there other exits on that road?"

"No, it was a fortress. I heard Gandalf mentioned that Smaug destroyed it. Unless Azog wanted to escape from the frozen river."

"No, Azog will not run away." Zelin shook his head "Follow me."

The ruins of the tower group have been abandoned for nearly a hundred years. It is located among the rocks of Wuyaling. Today, these broken towers and the wind and frost have been smoothed and smooth, as if they were completely integrated into the rocks after the baptism of Long Yan. Only the cave has escaped the flames, and the well-preserved artificial traces are then shown to anyone who enters this place, what scale it had in the past.

The inside of the tower group was very crowded, and the aisle probably only allowed two soldiers to advance side by side. Perhaps this was the reason why the people in River Valley City had never expected to be attacked in the past. Some aisles are also stacked with dusty debris, broken ceramic pots and dirty rags. Zelin stood in the aisle, holding his breath. He listened carefully to the ruins, looking for any unusual sounds.

Some parts of the wall still have burnt marks. Smaug’s attack started from the north. The legend did not mention that the dragon attacked the valley city and the place outside the solitary mountain, but the traces left in the ruins made him imaginable. , How Smaug used flames to destroy this fortress. Nothing can withstand Long Yan, but fortunately, they don't need to think about Smaug's threat anymore.

"It makes me feel cold." Bilbo rubbed his hands. "It's too cold here."

Walking in the passage, Zelin stopped suddenly and Bilbo almost hit him.

"Give me this." The demon hunter took the crossbow in Bilbo's hand. There were not many arrows, and the rest could shoot two rounds. "Hold your breath."

Bilbo immediately closed his mouth and opened his eyes wide to look straight ahead where the demon hunter was aiming. He didn't understand what was there, everything seemed normal, cold, dust and cold rocks.

But at this moment, Bilbo suddenly felt a heat wave. The tunnel directly in front suddenly lit up. The light of the torch illuminates the corner of the tunnel, and it gets brighter and brighter over time. Someone was walking towards them holding a torch. They kept their feet low, or were waiting near the corner at all, Bilbo heard no sound at all.

Immediately afterwards, Bilbo heard the same footsteps coming from the tunnel behind them. He turned his head and saw the same fire light from the corner of the tunnel behind him. Obviously, the orcs were trying to surround them. This ruin is a trap.

Soon, the first orc appeared at the corner directly in front, holding a torch, howling and rushing over. It's just that its howling sound stopped abruptly the next moment, and the arrow of the crossbow just shot into its open mouth. Zelin raised his hand and stamped an Alderfa seal on the orc, and it made a gurgling sound in its throat, flew out and hit the two orcs that surged behind, and fell to the ground together.

Zelin didn't stop, he walked two steps forward, then turned around and gestured to the hallway behind to draw the symbol of Igni's sign. The orc who rushed out happened to hit the stream of flame head-on, and the tongue of flame was instantly attached to it like a tarsal maggot. The space of the tunnel is narrow, and the burning fireman just blocked the passage, making it difficult for the orcs behind to pass.

"It's an ambush!" Bilbo clenched the Elf sword in his hand and shouted, "Are we going to kill?"

"Azog must be here, find him!" Zelin shook his head, ambushed, and flanked back and forth. This is obviously a tactical behavior that the orcs can make under the command of the commander. "This is before the arrival of Polger's army. Last chance!"

Chapter 774: Orcs' Reinforcement

The fire loomed from the cracks in the broken walls of the ruins of the towers.

The sound of intertwined weapons echoed on the ridge of the howling cold wind. This is Azog's guard. Compared with other orcs, they are more ferocious and evil. In terms of size, these evil creatures are obviously not ordinary orcs. They have a larger size than ordinary orcs, and more fierce power. There are many ogres among the enemies of Raven Hill. This is a specially modified ogre. The limbs of the ogre have been chopped off and all replaced with metal hammers. Every time it swings its limbs, even its steps can be regarded as an attack. And its eyes were also gouged out, the empty eye sockets were chained, and an orc was sitting behind, driving the completely transformed ogre like a chariot.

The monster waved its arms and interlaced its hands. Two meteor hammers were connected to the severed arm. As the monster waved, it whizzed across the head of the demon hunter. The hammer hit the nearby rock wall, smashing the originally dilapidated stone tower into a hole again.

"Behind!"

Bilbo's warning reached the ears of the demon hunter. The invisibility of the Hobbit allows him to escape the swords of the orcs safely, but the invisibility will not make his shadow and voice disappear. After Bilbo issued the warning, he ran to other places immediately, and Zelin slammed the hand that had formed the Alderfa Seal rune to the ground at the moment he bends to avoid the ogre's hammer.

The gas explosion burst out in a circular shape centered on the demon hunter, carrying dust and snow on the ground, and knocking down the orcs who were trying to sneak attack behind him. The ogre with only two metal hammerheads underneath it shook twice, but it did not fall. Instead, under the control of the orc on its back, it lifted its modified leg and stepped it down in the direction of the demon hunter.

Bilbo has been hiding in the dark. As long as Azog attacks from other places, the hobbit can warn the demon hunter. It's a pity that his invisibility can't make the crossbow arrows in his hand invisible together, otherwise Zelin is willing to hand the crossbow arrows to him, so that the orcs don't know how they died.

But Zelin only saw Azog's guards. He slayed out of the tunnels of the ruins of the towers, and then encountered more monsters near the ruins of the towers and the frozen river beside Crow Ridge, dozens of them. But Azog did not appear in the monster. This fierce orc has a cunning head, it has been waiting, waiting in the dark, and will never show its head before it can or must appear.

In other words, what is it waiting for.

Facing the ogre who stabilized his figure and wielded the meteor hammer at himself again, Zelin turned from under the enemy’s legs and walked around behind the ogre. The moment he passed by, the ebony blade struck. Cut in the lower half of its leg. The metal collided, and a deep gap was cut in the lower half of the hammer handle. Before the orc riding on the back of the ogre could react, Zelin stepped up to catch up with another sword, losing support on one side of his body, and the remaining leg connected to the meteor hammer could not support the monster. The body, the ogre howl, crashed to the ground, just pressing the orc behind him to the ground.

The four orcs who were knocked down nearby regained their feet and attacked the demon hunter. After seeing Zelin's blade easily sever the metal on the ogre's body, their movements of waving their weapons slowed down a lot, and they tried to evade. Attack, avoid the black blade. The orcs wanted to wait for Zelin to attack first, then look for flaws in the attack, and win by numbers, but Zelin did not give them this opportunity.

He seized the opportunity and swung his sword in a thunderous manner. The head of the orc in the front flew directly upside down. The orc's corpse ran two steps ahead of inertia before it fell on the ice behind the demon hunter. On the surface, a spring of blood flows down the lines of the rock. The second orc swung its weapon with all its strength, but it only slashed into the air. Its throat was also cut open, and it fell to the ground and vomited blood. The third orc screamed and fell to the ground face down. It had a flying knife stuck in its unarmored neck. The knife was inserted very deep, and its trachea was pierced without reaching the hilt. , Suffocating gurgling sound in the throat ceaselessly. It was the fourth orc who successfully swung a sword, but the blade was slashed on a bright orange shield and bounced away. Then Zelin turned around with a sword, and slashed it with the breastplate from bottom to top. Chest.

The ogre on the side has no limbs. It cannot get up. After losing the orc it is controlling, it does not even have eyes to observe the surrounding situation. It can only wield the meteor hammer in vain and try to hit nearby enemies. But it failed to hit the demon hunter, but broke its own flesh. Zelin raised the ebony blade and thrust a sword into the head of the ogre. The monster twitched, then spread out, completely silent.
