Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 68: Return! (3,000 words)
The spirit horse was extremely fast. As it galloped, Li Xia only felt the wind whistling past his ears, and the Oak that was blocking his way was instantly knocked away.

Simply by holding the spear at an angle, the speed of the galloping horse allowed the spearhead to slash the throats of many Oc.

So blood spurted out behind the spirit horse, forming a true 'blood trail'.

When the spirit horse finally slowed down, Li Xia simply rode on the horse, waving his spear around.

His temporary LV3 equestrian skill made him seem glued to the saddle, and from the air, two blank spaces appeared where the black gorilla and Li Xia had traversed.

Two towering ogres roared and swung their weapons, their chain hammers sweeping across with a whooshing sound.

Lingma cleverly took a few steps back, dodging the fierce attack.

Li Xia smoothly raised his spear, the shaft passing precisely through the gap in the chain, driving the chain hammer into the ground. Using the force of the ogre pulling its weapon upwards, he leaped into the air like a nimble bird.

Using the momentum of the fall, he thrust forward with his spear, which pierced the ogre's throat without hesitation. The ogre swayed and crashed backward, smashing down on a group of small orcs.

The spirit horse, incredibly intelligent, kicked the two orcs away with its hind hooves and trotted over to Li Xia. Li Xia saddled up and mounted the horse, joining the black gorilla.

Azog's location is between River Valley and Lonely Mountain, forming an equilateral triangle. This is not a coincidence, but rather a position that allows him to oversee both directions.

As the valley gradually opened up, Thorin could no longer break through; the flames cast by the mage earlier had long since gone out.

His forces were too small and his flanks were unprotected, forcing him to shrink into a large circle, enduring attacks from all sides, and being tightly surrounded by the Orks and wolves who had turned back.

If it weren't for the arrival of the Mad Knight, Bloody Mary, and others, Thorin and his dwarves would probably have collapsed long ago.

Even so, they were only barely maintaining the current situation.

The arrival of Li Xia and the black gorilla greatly alleviated Thorin and the others' predicament.

"You've finally arrived. I thought you were going to watch a show," the knight said, panting, leaning on his holy sword.

This skill looks powerful, but it obviously consumes a lot of energy. I was exhausted after just a short while.

The chimpanzee grinned and casually knocked over two orks: "I'm not the leader of the faction!"

Upon hearing this, several gazes immediately focused on Li Xia, who was riding a horse and wielding a spear.

The tip of the spear flashed a cold light in the moonlight, and the surrounding Orks collapsed limply. Many Orks looked at him in fear and muttered something under their breath.

Although the 'Bee Stinger' has not been formally designated as a title, it is clearly quite useful on the current battlefield.

"Alright, handsome young man. Our faction leader, do you have any ideas?"

The madwoman wore a rather daring dress resembling a nun's robe, except that the fabric at the upper half of her chest was missing, and her full, purple lips had a faint sheen.
"Even if I were bigger, I couldn't squeeze it out."

Li Xia paused for a moment, estimated the distance to Azog to be about 500 meters. If he were to force his way through, he might actually be able to kill him, but the risk would be quite high.

Just as he was about to speak, his gaze sharpened, and his monocle quickly zoomed in, revealing Azog raising his hand and suddenly waving it.

They actually led their guards and started charging towards this place!

I don't know why, but this is an opportunity!

Azog coldly extended his hand, letting his men help him put on his armor. The battle had far exceeded his expectations.

The remaining reconnaissance team relayed intelligence via flags: the eagles of the Northern Eagle Nest had been mobilized in full force and would arrive at the battlefield in half an hour.

Once these eagles arrive, his legion will be finished. The only way out is to defeat Thorin and seize Lonely Mountain.

He needed to provide his army with a strong sanctuary, so he had to go to war.

Azog's two small eyes, contorted with malice, gleamed with a sinister smile as he whispered:
"Get the Uruk (orcs) ready!"

"They're coming!"

Thorin's cries attracted everyone's attention. In addition to the knights and others, the other apostles also arrived one after another, including Robin Hood and others whom Li Xia knew.

It should be said that the entire elite of the apostles were concentrated here.

Is there such a good thing?

Five hundred meters passed in the blink of an eye.

Before many apostles could recover from this unexpected surprise, Azog and his guards had already rushed to their side.

The apostles gripped their weapons tightly, their eyes filled with madness, and their breathing became rapid. If they could kill Azog, it would be an absolute windfall of contribution points and contribution credits.

It's even possible that we could come in first!

As Azog drew closer, the apostles grew increasingly excited, silently calculating how much damage they could unleash. Many melee fighters prayed that Azog would get even closer.

Just then, a sharp screech suddenly came from the sky, and the apostle felt an unbearable headache in an instant.

[You have been affected by ultrasound (abnormal status), but no actual damage has occurred. Your resilience has taken effect, reducing the duration of the effect.]

Not only the apostles, but even the Orks on the nearby battlefield covered their ears and roared in pain.

A bat covered in red feathers descended from the sky, transforming in mid-air into a slender blonde beauty in a red dress, holding a slender sword in her hand, her pale skin as white as jade in the moonlight.

Her beautiful face was filled with ecstatic joy as she used the force of her fall to lunge straight at Azog.

The knight's expression changed drastically, and he roared, "Mary! Retreat!"

In the blink of an eye, two figures suddenly rushed out from behind Azog, their sharp canine teeth protruding from below and enveloping their upper lips. Their muscles were taut and twisted, making them look like steel.

She raised two enormous steel blades above her head, and in an instant, two flashes of cold light crossed. Suddenly, the slender figure in mid-air sprayed out a huge amount of blood, and fell straight to the ground as if frozen.

His entire body was broken into three pieces, and his beautiful face still bore traces of his previous ecstasy and the horror that he hadn't had time to react.

The apostles felt a chill rise in their hearts. Even Bloody Mary, who was among the top in the crowd, couldn't withstand a single blow.

Azog grinned maliciously, and the orcs behind him roared as they charged forward.

Thorin only had time to raise his shield before a loud 'clang' was heard, and the shield flew far away.

The king of the mountain looked on in despair at the giant axe raised by the orc.

[Note: Thorin Oakenshield has fallen. The leader of the dwarven faction will be Ironfoot Dain according to the order of precedence!]

[Note: Due to Thorin's death, the morale of both the dwarf and elf factions has been greatly weakened]

[Note: Bahrain has been defeated.]

[Hint: Duvalin has been killed in action]

[Hint: Oin has been eliminated]

The notifications from the Temple of Light kept refreshing like a flowing river, and in a short time, more than half of Thorin and his dwarf companions had been killed.

The apostle, who had been ecstatic, felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and he couldn't help but shiver. The situation, which had just been so promising, had deteriorated to this point in an instant.

Robin Hood, Adam, and Zorro, wielding their rapiers, barely managed to fend off the orcs' attacks. Robin Hood roared in despair:
"These are Orcs! Damn it, why are there Orcs here?! Didn't the information say that Orcs only appear in the Saruman storyline?"

The madwoman, her face pale, threw purple liquid at the orc, but this liquid, which could dissolve ordinary orcs, only burned large bubbles on the orc's body.

The orc roared in pain, his attacks becoming increasingly ferocious.

The knight swung his greatsword with all his might, barely managing to parry the orc's axe, shouting as if in a frenzy:

"This is the dynamic balance of the hall; it will only occur when one side's strength far exceeds the original setting!"

He jumped back a step and quickly scanned the area: "How strong must they be to get the temple to upgrade Azog's guard to Orcs?"

The chimpanzee had transformed back into human form, one of his arms missing. He lay on the ground, roaring, "Sha! Sha!! For Claude's sake!!"

"hiss----------!"

A sudden breeze seemed to appear, and the muddy ground burst open with a loud bang.

Sun Breathing: Complete Collection!
Veins bulged on Li Xia's forehead, and his hot breath exhaled from his mouth and nose, forming thick steam in the night.

"boom!"

He stomped his feet hard on the ground, and white smoke stretched into a long dragon. He transformed into a white light like an arrow, rushing straight towards Azog at an incredible speed.

This was the opportunity Li Xia had been waiting for—an opportunity that had even drawn away a powerful orc!

A smug glint flashed in Azog's small eyes again. Suddenly, the two orcs who had been crouching beside him stood up and held up two shields in front of Azog.

Bee sting?

As the leader of the orcs, how could he not know about the existence that suddenly filled the orcs with fear?

Li Xia acted as if he didn't see that the two shields had completely covered Azog. The muscles in his right arm, which was holding Night Silence, suddenly bulged, and he used the momentum of his forward thrust to stab forward.

"Dang!!"

The collision between the spear and the steel shield produced a violent explosion, and the spear shaft of the silent night underwent a huge deformation in an instant, bending into the shape of an arch bridge.

Both of their movements seemed to freeze at that moment. Li Xia slammed his right hand, which was holding the gun, down hard, and the butt of the gun hit the ground.

The immense force of the rebound ultimately couldn't withstand the earth, and it bounced back along the shaft of the spear.

The two orcs staggered backward under the force of the impact, and at that moment Azog's figure was finally revealed!
The infamous Oc's deformed face wore a mocking expression as he looked at the deflected spear and Li Xia, whose hands were now empty.

The stinger? Without the stinger—

"Pfft!"

The steel-forged armor was pierced as easily as tofu, and Azog's smile froze on his face.

He looked down and saw that Li Xia had suddenly produced a long black arrow in his hand.

[The black arrow has struck the heart of Azog, the leader of the Orc faction; instant death is imminent.]

[The verdict is passed; Azog is dead.]

The main quest "Battle of the Five Armies" has been completed.

[Returning]

Welcome back to the Hall of Light!
