Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth...

"The black-robed wizard! (in black language)"

Azog looked at the suddenly appearing Dui with great apprehension.

Seeing him appear here safely, but not seeing the other Oc team, his heart sank.

"Is this what you're looking for?"

Dui threw the head of the leader of the Ok team in front of Azog.

"I've already sent those Oc to hell. You probably won't live to see them."

"Or I could send you to meet them... to be smashed to pieces!"

Villains die from talking too much. Although Dui didn't consider himself a villain, he still attacked without hesitation, adhering to the principle of a quick victory.

If we kill Azog, the orc leader, here, the orcs will be temporarily leaderless, and perhaps the subsequent pursuit and the Battle of the Five Armies on Lonely Mountain will not happen again.

Dui's magic was fast, but Azog's reaction speed was not bad either.

Orcs value strength above all else, and Azog's leadership was achieved by eliminating countless competitors.

With his superhuman strength and reflexes, Azog dodged Dui's curse, and for those he couldn't dodge, he simply pulled one of his men next to him to use as a human shield.

Seeing that he was at a disadvantage, Azog raised his good arm and shot a hidden dart from his wrist.

Those were Mogul's arrows inscribed with dark spells.

Dui was on guard and immediately used a levitation spell to control a piece of pine wood to block in front of him.

But this also gave Azog an opportunity. He grabbed an Orc from a dire wolf, got up, and ran away.

The other Orcs and Dire Wolves also fled in disarray.

"Duir, don't let Azog get away!" the dwarves shouted anxiously.

"Don't worry, he can't escape." Dui watched Azog fleeing calmly, as if he had been prepared all along.

The next second, Azog and the dire wolf, who hadn't run far, plunged headfirst into the mud, into a swamp that had appeared out of nowhere in front of the trap.

The Orks and the War Wolves followed behind, struggling in the muddy swamp.

Azog did not give up the struggle. He stepped on the dire wolf to climb out of the swamp, and then ruthlessly used his subordinate Ork's dire wolf as a stepping stone to leap high to the other side of the swamp.

"Wizard, I'll remember you! You will be my mortal enemy!" Azog stared intently at Dui, his greatest threat now shifting from Thorin to this wizard.

His response was a dazzling curse.

"Thunderous explosion~"

The massive explosion blasted the mountaintop open, triggering a landslide.

"Ah, the mountain is collapsing!" the dwarves screamed in terror, for cracks had appeared in the cliff they stood on, and it was about to crumble at any moment.

"Don't panic, our giant eagle friend is here!" Gandalf told everyone the good news.

No sooner had the words been spoken than a loud cry of eagles rang out in the sky, and more than a dozen enormous eagles flew toward the group, snatching them up and carrying them away amidst their gasps of alarm.

Dui was also spotted by a giant eagle. Before he could react, the eagle pounced on him, grabbed him, and threw him onto the back of another giant eagle.

The thrilling scene caused Du Yi to gasp in surprise.

As everyone was carried into the sky by the giant eagle, the mountain peaks and cliffs below could no longer support them and quickly collapsed, causing all the orcs and dire wolves to fall and be crushed and buried by the boulders.

"Huh? He's still alive? Is he that tough?" Dui had only taken out the True Knowledge Crystal to check if Azog was dead out of concern, but he was surprised to find that he was still alive.

It turns out that when the mountain collapsed, Azog used the iron hook attached to his severed arm to catch the cliff face, thus avoiding being killed by the fall or being crushed.

Is this the villainous boss's luck? Why doesn't he die until the very end?

Dui doesn't believe it.

He patted the giant eagle beneath him: "Brother Eagle, can I discuss something with you?"

"Could you please take me downstairs first? I'll go kill that Azog before I leave, okay?"

The giant eagle let out a loud cry, and before Dui could react, it plummeted downwards.

The immense feeling of weightlessness made Dui's heart leap into his throat.

Azog's side.

Having survived, he looked at his men buried by the landslide and let out a furious and resentful roar.

"Wizard, I will make you pay for this in blood!"

"Is that me, Azog?" A mocking voice rang out from above.

Azog was horrified. The moment he looked up, he saw Dui flying down on a giant eagle.

Realizing the difference in their strength, he tried to run away without saying a word.

But Dui didn't give him another chance to escape; "Crush him to pieces!"

The spell struck Azog instantly.

With a scream, Azog's body was covered in cracks, like shattered porcelain, and black blood kept gushing out.

Even so, Azog still had a breath left.

"You're really hard to kill, Azog," Dui sighed, his eyes filled with coldness. "But no matter what, today is your death day!"

"Torn apart!"

Azog's expression froze, his blood-red eyes gradually dimmed, and he died completely.

Looking at the dead Azog, Dui took a deep breath.

"Azog is dead, the trajectory of fate has changed, and who knows if the Battle of the Five Armies will ever happen again?"

"Duir".

Gandalf flew in on a giant eagle, followed by the others.

When the dwarves saw Azog's body, they cheered, celebrating the death of their mortal enemy.

Gandalf was also very pleased and impressed.

"Duir, you have killed Azog, the King of the Orks. This news will soon spread from the Orcs throughout Middle-earth. You truly deserve the title of 'Enemy of the Orks'!"

"However, in return, you will become the enemy of all the Orks, and they will do everything they can to get rid of you. You should be prepared."

"I understand, thank you for reminding me, Gandalf."

Dui nodded, but he didn't feel any pressure about it.

After killing Azog, the group did not linger and flew away on their giant eagles.

The giant eagles are messengers of Manwë, the king of the Valar. They are enormous, intelligent, and can speak human language. They are responsible for informing Manwë of news from all over Middle-earth and assisting the free people of Middle-earth in their fight against evil.

Gandalf is also one of the Maiar who belong to Manwë, so he has a good relationship with the Eagle Clan and can summon eagles to help him.

The giant eagle was very fast, and the group flew over the Misty Mountains on its back, stopping only at Karl Rock on the Anduin River.

As for why they didn't fly directly to Lonely Mountain, one reason is that the giant eagle lives in the Misty Mountains and is mainly responsible for monitoring the orcs in the mountains. It is unwilling to go too far away from the Misty Mountains.

For another reason, similar to Gandalf's, the giant eagles are not allowed to interfere too much with the forces in Middle-earth; their main role is to assist in the fight against evil.

Dui could only offer a speechless response.

Isn't this just like in Journey to the West, where everyone has to go through 108,000 miles and all sorts of hardships, instead of having Sun Wukong somersault to the Western Paradise to retrieve the scriptures?

After dismounting from the giant eagle's back, as Gandalf bid farewell to the eagle king, Dui looked at the eagle king's crest and suddenly had an inspiration, quickly saying:

"Gandalf, the core of your wand has been missing for a long time. Perhaps a feather from a giant eagle could serve as the core!"
