Chapter 605 Rohan and Gondor

On the other side, on the pine tree next to the cliff, as the dwarves threw all the pine cones on the tree as incendiary bombs, they were once again in a desperate situation.

On the opposite side, the Orc leader Azog commanded his men to first put out the fire in the jungle, and then gathered his forces to surround the pine tree where the dwarves were.

Then, several huge wolves came forward and tried to knock down the pine trees on the edge of the cliff with brute force.

As the pine trees began to lean, the dwarves' situation was like this: there was no way up to heaven and no door down to earth.

At this moment, Thorin, who had no more hope, had made up his mind to die. He drew the ancient elven sword from his waist, strode down from the leaning pine tree, and walked towards Azog.

Even when this descendant of the royal family of Durin's dwarves died, he chose to die a "heroic" death.

I vowed to compose a hymn of courage for the end of my life.

Seeing that the orcs around were about to hunt Thorin to death, the orc leader suddenly called his men to stop and signaled Thorin to step forward.

"I take back what I said before. As the grandson of Thor, the King under the Mountain, your courage is indeed respectable. So as a sign of respect, I decided to chop off your head with my own hands..." Azog, riding on a tall wolf, looked at his desperate enemy with interest.

This is such a wonderful situation for it at this moment.

"kill!!!"

Thorin, who had already disregarded life and death and was fearless, did not think too much. He just wanted to "bite" a piece of meat from Azog before he died. It would be even better if he could drag the other party down with him.

But courage cannot eliminate the imbalance of strength. The fearless Thorin had just approached Azog when he was knocked down by the huge wolf under the other party.

Then the elven sword in Azog's hand was also knocked away by Azog's wolf-tooth hammer.

Just as the Orc leader was grinning and was about to cut off Thorin's head, who had lost his power to resist.

Bilbo, who had always had a weak presence, suddenly rushed out from the side and blocked the Orc leader's fatal blow with the Stinging Sword in his hand.

But before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, Bilbo was also knocked down by the wolf and his life was hanging by a thread.

"Your opponent is here~"

Thorin, who was on the ground, got a brief respite after being rescued by the Hobbits. He then climbed up again, picked up the Elf Sword and rushed towards Azog again.

As for Bilbo, without Azog's oppression, there was only a warg left in front of him.

The Hobbit's natural agility allowed him to temporarily deal with the wolf's attack.

Although it may seem like a long story, all these changes actually happened within a few seconds.

By the time the dwarves reacted, Thorin was already fighting Azog again.

At the same time, Thorin's fearless spirit also inspired the dwarves' endless fighting spirit.

"kill!!!"

"For the Dwarves of Durin..."

"..."

In an instant, with a huge roar, the dwarves raised their weapons and rushed into the battlefield.

With everyone working together, the situation on the battlefield underwent a brief change.

But as I said before, courage is not omnipotent in the face of a huge gap in strength.

As more and more orcs and wargs joined the battle, the adventure team was once again in trouble.

Even though Gandalf was very strong and could knock down several orcs with a single blow, he still couldn't guarantee the safety of everyone in the adventure team in such a melee.

Bilbo, in particular, was not good at fighting, and after dodging the bites of the wargs many times, he gradually became exhausted.

After falling down again, his hand slowly reached for the ring in his pocket...

It was as if a voice was telling the Hobbit: Put on the ring and you can kill all your enemies.

Just when the wizard felt powerless and Bilbo was about to accept the call of the ring, several dark shadows suddenly flew in the sky in the distance.

"唳~"

Following the sharp cry of the Giant Eagle King, the group of Giant Eagles that arrived in time swooped down, their sharp claws ruthlessly piercing through the orcs and wargs.

In a short while, the Orcs suffered heavy casualties and their formation began to become chaotic.

"Saved~"

Gandalf, who had a chance to catch his breath, smiled and nodded to the Eagle King, then summoned all the members of the adventure team and left on the giant eagle.

"roar~"

Seeing that the "fat meat" that was about to reach his mouth escaped again, Azog chased to the edge of the cliff and let out an unwilling roar.

……

The dwarves were lucky, as the giant eagles had been asked by the brown-robed wizard to help keep an eye on Gandalf and his companions.

Therefore, a few days ago, the Giant Eagle King brought the giant eagles to the middle section of the Misty Mountains.

This is also the reason why a group of giant eagles arrived shortly after Gandalf sent out his distress signal.

At this time, the dwarves, who had escaped the disaster again, had already flown over the towering Misty Mountains on giant eagles.

Looking at the vast world below, many dwarves couldn't help but sing the ancient songs of the dwarves while laughing.

At the same time, there were two eaglets with golden threads on their beaks in the group of giant eagles. After obtaining the consent of the Eagle King, they left the group and flew south.

……

"What you mean is that the King of Eagles led you to rescue Gandalf and the others just now. And you two came here specially to support me?" On a barren slope in the wild, Mike saw the young eagle brothers flying over in a hurry.

“Chi…Chi…”

The two young eagles nodded in a humane way, as if asking for credit.

"Okay, you still have some conscience. It's worth my kindness to you~" Mike touched the bird heads of Guan He brothers, then took out two large pieces of fresh meat from the space and fed them to the two eaglets.

Later, Mike learned from the two young eagles that the group of giant eagles led by the Eagle King would continue to stay in the middle section of the Misty Mountains to support the adventure team at any time.

Therefore, the Guan He brothers did not need to rush back to the northern highlands this time.

"You're planning to rely on me." Mike muttered, and then a smile appeared on his face.

Although Rohan was so close that it would be hard to walk there, it would be nice to fly there with two giant eagles as mounts.

So half an hour later, Mike once again felt the feeling of flying on a big bird and arrived at the border of Rohan.

Also, because there may be creatures like wind snakes in human towns that can threaten the lives of giant eagles, giant eagles generally do not go to unfamiliar human gathering areas.

So after arriving at the border of Rohan, the Guanhe brothers put Mike on the ground, and they flew thousands of meters high to continue following.

……

"The situation here doesn't look good~" As Mike walked into Rohan, the villages on the border were all ruined.

The farmland that should have been harvested is now overgrown with weeds due to neglect.

In some small villages along the way, most of them were empty, with almost no living people to be seen. Logically speaking, the Gondor Defense Line built by the human forces connected Rohan and Gondor, and no matter how weak the military force was, it would not make the rear of Rohan so desolate.

"Something must have gone wrong..."

Mike was silently calculating in his mind, and then when he passed by a ruined small village again, dozens of orcs riding on wolves suddenly rushed out from it.

This……

It seems that the situation is worse than Mike thought.

"Capture him and offer him to the leader as food..."

"Awoo, we haven't eaten fresh meat for a long time, why don't we stay and enjoy it ourselves..."

"Eat him...eat him..."

"..."

Perhaps they mistook Mike for an ordinary citizen of Rohan. After surrounding Mike, the orcs began excitedly discussing how to deal with him.

This also shows that most of the residents who disappeared from the village may have become food for the orcs.

"Death~"

Faced with the inhuman orcs, Mike had nothing to say. He condensed a longbow and instantly nailed them all to the ground.

"Come out, maybe I can give you some help..." After killing the orc team, Mike looked towards the direction of the village.

There was a person looking out from a hidden thatched hut.

"Stranger, Rohan is no longer a suitable place for human survival. You'd better leave quickly." An old man walked out tremblingly. He was a little shocked and a little pleased to see the group of dead orcs on the ground.

"Can you tell me what happened here?" Mike looked at the old man's weak appearance, as if he hadn't eaten for several days, so he took out some milk and bread from the space and handed them to him.

"It's a long story if you're interested. Let's find a safe place and I'll tell you slowly..." Perhaps because Mike was willing to share food, the old man regarded him as a good man.

Then he led him towards the village.

Then, the two entered the half-collapsed thatched hut. The remaining half was also filled with debris.

At first glance, this place doesn't look like a place where people can live.

"Grandpa, are you okay? Are all those monsters gone?" Just then, a piece of abandoned board on the ground was slightly lifted up, and a slight inquiring voice came from inside.

"Lily, Grandpa is fine. It's safe outside for now. Those monsters have been killed by the warriors around me. Let everyone come out and get some fresh air..."

Following the old man's answer, there was a brief discussion under the board, and then the board was lifted and a timid child climbed up.

Then a dozen more people, also covered in dust and dirt, climbed up.

Even though these people knew that it was temporarily safe outside, they were still very careful in their actions and did not make any big noise from beginning to end.

After everyone came out, the old man distributed the food he had just obtained to everyone.

Mike also noticed that the old man was obviously very hungry but had not touched the food before, it turned out that there were so many people waiting here.

"You're welcome, I still have plenty of food here..." Looking at how carefully everyone treated the food, Mike shook his head and took out a large amount of food from the space.

This time, it was specially matched with a lot of soy products and some meat that can be stored for a long time.

"Thank you, thank you so much." Seeing so much food, the old man was moved and thanked again.

At the same time, he was also wise not to inquire into how the young man in front of him stored the food.

The dozen or so people at the back also thanked Mike out loud.

Then Mike observed that even with enough food, these refugee-like villagers did not eat much at one time.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. You can ask me anything you want to know..." After chewing half a piece of bread carefully, the old man came to Mike again.

"Where have the young people in the village gone, and why are there orcs here?" Mike asked the doubts in his mind.

He also observed that the dozen or so people here were all old people and children, and there was not even a young person among them.

"This story begins when the greedy and foolish Vanzhel became the King of Rohan..." The old man's cloudy eyes were filled with reminiscence.

Rohan, as the second largest human kingdom and close to the most powerful kingdom of Gondor, also had a glorious history.

At that time, Rohan, which had the most elite cavalry regiment, built an iron wall on the allied defense line and suppressed the Orc army outside its territory.

It won a stable living environment for the people of Rohan, and the hardworking people of Rohan also fed all the troops of the kingdom with their own hands.

If this virtuous cycle continues, even though Rohan is close to Mordor, it can become a paradise.

But all this changed when the incompetent and greedy Vanzhir became King of Rohan.

The king, who only cared about his own enjoyment, plundered the people's wealth without restraint in order to satisfy his own selfish desires, while being stingy in allocating funds to the army.

Over time, people's lives became unbearable and the army gradually lost its combat capability.

What followed was that the Orc army could break through Rohan's defense lines at will and invade inland, making the already miserable country of Rohan even more miserable.

A large number of defenseless people were massacred by the orcs, and the survivors, seeing no hope in life, fled far away from their homeland to Gondor.

This situation also caused the population base of Rohan, which originally had a population of over one million, to decline rapidly.

This time, the Orc Warg team led by the Orc leader Azog crossed the Rohan defense line and went to Moria to pursue Thorin and others.

The food along the way should come from the people along the way in Rohan.

"This guy named Fanzhel really deserves to die." After listening to the old man's explanation, Mike had a general understanding of the current king of Rohan.

To sum it up in one sentence, it is stupid and evil.

"I'm going to visit Gondor next. Do you want me to take you with me?" Mike had originally planned to visit Edoras, the capital of Rohan, but now he has no interest at all.

He now only wanted to go to Gondor to see the situation first. If it didn't work, he could only wait until he returned to Rohan again to kill King Vanger and then re-establish a new king.

As for being the king himself, Mike doesn't have the patience or the time.

After all, he still had to reach the Lonely Mountain before the dwarves.

"No, no, we are worthless people. We may not survive even if we escape to Gondor." The old man declined Mike's kindness and continued, "Prince Seger of Rohan is an ideal successor to the kingdom. Because he couldn't stand his father's stupidity, he went to Gondor to study alone..."

"Perhaps it won't be long before the Prince of Rohan returns and overthrows Vanzhel's rule. By then, our lives will be a little better."

It’s a helpless reality, and also very cruel.

Whether the people can survive depends entirely on the character of the king.

Michael didn't have any good solution for this. He never thought that as a king, he could help these dozen people in front of him. Could he save all the people in Rohan one by one?

Then who can guarantee that the situation like that of Rohan will not happen to Gondor or even other human kingdoms?

"I'm really not cut out to be a saint~" Mike, who was unable to devote himself to others and was afraid of trouble, gave himself a fair evaluation in his heart.

Then, after leaving a large amount of food for the dozen or so people in front of him, he set out for Gondor.
