Chapter 81 The Battle of the Five Armies (5)

The coalition of humans and elves successfully retreated to the River Valley City. When the gates closed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, at least they had the opportunity to rest for a while now.

But the feeling on the dwarves was even worse. They tried their best to approach the main gate of Eribo, so that the orcs would not attack their team from behind, but the losses were still expanding, expanding, and expanding again.

Especially when the main army of the orcs withdraws from another battlefield and enters the dwarf battlefield, the situation becomes even worse. A large number of strong Gundabad orcs and tall she-cannibals all attack the dwarf's battle formation, and the already exhausted dwarf battle formation was instantly shattered.

The situation was moving in a direction that Dai Yin absolutely did not want to see. The dwarves were surrounded by orcs, divided and then fell one by one.

Although the dwarves had excellent armor, although they had sharp axes, and even though they had outstanding endurance, they were just fighting alone.

They killed at least twice their enemies, but there were still orcs coming from behind.

"They can't die here! They are the backbone of the Iron Hills, and they are all my brothers and sisters!" Dai Yin was extremely anxious.

One group of dwarves was exhausted, so another group was replaced. This group was exhausted again, and the next group was supplemented again, until the sheep broke through everything and completely divided them into "isolated islands".

"We need to retreat, we need space!" Dai Yin was trembling all over in a hurry.

Even if he could kill more orcs, so what? His army has been dispersed. If he doesn't do anything, Tie Hill will lose its military strength. How can they fight against the Lunren and the northern orcs?

Of course, there are more than just those people in Tieqiu, but you must not think that the combat effectiveness of the army is absolutely related to the number of people. In fact, the combat effectiveness of the army is absolutely important to the veterans.

A team with veterans will develop combat power very quickly, while a team of recruits will need to be repeatedly beaten and tempered to be called a powerful soldier in a hundred battles.

If all the dwarves in Iron Hill were lost in this battle and the king was killed in battle, it would probably be difficult for Dai Yin's son to ascend the throne.

"Where is Solin? We need support! Solin! Cousin!" Dai Yin yelled.

Space, the space where the dwarves need to deal with, and the huge and complex Eribo dungeon just meets this condition. Moreover, these dwarves are particularly familiar with the structure in Eribo. So many dwarves who go in to fight guerrillas may even be able to turn the tables against the wind.

But Eribo's main entrance was blocked by stones, with no sign of opening.

"No, Dai Yin..." Duvalin wanted to jump down anxiously.

They and Dai Yin are all relatives, and Dai Yin is also their younger brother in terms of seniority. How could they not feel sorry for them? However, Solin did not agree to open the door to Gushan.

Bahrain was in the King's Hall to persuade Thorin: "Outside, our relatives, your brother, and Dein! What are you thinking?"

Thorin sat dumbly on his throne, his eyes full of endless confusion. He was fascinated by this boundless wealth, but he knew that he could not lose his close relatives.

He looked at the mountains of gold piled up in the hall and said with tears in his eyes: "This is Eribo, but our Eribo who has made countless efforts is Eribo full of wealth. It cannot be lost..."

Bahrain looked at his king in shock and said in surprise: "How can you say such a thing?"

"It's been more than once... to Changhu Town, to the Elf King, to Master Ronan, to Gandalf, to Bilbo, but I didn't expect you to be the same with Dai Yin..."

Bahrain took a long breath and said with courage: "Sorin, you are sick and very sick, just like your grandfather."

Thorin seemed to be slapped in the face. In his heart, his grandfather failed. He ruined the reputation of the dwarf and Gushan, the king of the dwarf. But now, he has received another evaluation of "You are like your grandfather."

"How dare you speak like this?" Thorin was furious. "Aren't I your king?"

Bahrain smiled self-deprecatingly, "You are indeed my king, you have always been, but Thorin..."

Bahrain couldn't speak and walked out straight away. He had made up his mind that if Thorin didn't come to do this, then as the second highest-ranking person among the group, he would start.

"Set out and support our compatriots!"

The dwarves at the door cheered deafeningly, but Thorin in the hall fell into a long silence.

"What the hell is wrong with me?"

Thorin collapsed on his throne, looking at the empty inlay, remembered the Aken gem, and his bold ambitions.

"Has I really changed?"

The deep stone palace just repeated his questions over and over again, but never answered them.

Thorin Oak Shield didn't need an answer. In this situation where his relatives were betrayal, he finally realized his true heart.

I recalled the teachings of Ronan and Gandalf along the way, and the last sentence of Ronan, "We will settle the score well if we have the chance." Well, I really angered the public.

"Well, the best way to correct mistakes is to not make mistakes, and secondly, to correct them from now on... It seems that I am going to set out again, I wish me good luck."

Thorin kissed his crown, then landed it on the king's throne, lifted the beast and bit his sword and rushed towards the gate.

"Dwarfs, take up weapons! The descendants of Turin, take up weapons! Du-Baka!"

Bang! The stone wall was destroyed from the inside, and the damaged stone door just filled the deep moat.

The twelve warriors rushed out of the wall and then rushed out of the main gate hundreds of meters. The dwarves of Turin saw the feat of their king and were all shocked by their courage.

"For the King! Follow the King!" Dai Yin yelled and led his personal guards to guard Thorin's side.

The dwarf with revived morale caught the orc off guard, but the gap in hard power is an objective gap, which cannot be solved by a Thorin Oak Shield.

So after the organization was restored, the dwarves began to withdraw into Eribau.

Azog was anxious. He knew very well about the structure of the Dwarf dungeon. Ordinary cities are already easy to defend but difficult to attack, but the Dwarf dungeon is even more so.

Except for the Fire Demon and the Flying Dragon, there is no record of other dungeons being forcibly breached.

It is difficult for the army to unfold when entering such a place, let alone the large creatures like siege beasts. They neither fly nor have solid armor, nor have the ability to spray flames. Entering is to find abuse.

So the orc commander sounded his horn again, which was a signal to launch an attack.

"Charge! Charge! Be sure to leave them on the land in front of Erebo!"

“Woo--!”

The orcs gathered under the leadership of the battlefield command Borg and charged again, trying to bite the dwarf's retreat.

However, the dwarves' intention to retreat was very firm. The dwarves' personal guards with Thorin Oak Shield as the core led the last elite to hold back the orc's forward. The still-surviving dwarves and sick and dwarves finally entered Eribau's city.

The orcs were silent, but they didn't expect that the Thorin Oak Shield would have such a good motivation effect on the dwarfs.

Azog cannot give up. Eribo is the core of their strategy for this trip. This fortress must be taken down. Now is its weakest time, and the price of attacking it is the smallest.

Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, Azog ordered the orc troops to launch a general attack, so the orc army, like the black tide, rushed in from the main gate.

They explore every corner of the city with their own numerical advantage, vowing to catch every dwarf and kill them one by one.

The dwarves fought guerrilla wars with orcs based on their geographical location, and each time they could cause considerable losses.

Overall, the dwarves are still retreating step by step, but Eribo is a dungeon that can live for hundreds of thousands of dwarves. Its scale is amazing. Even if they retreat one by one, they can still fight for a long time.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Eribo's loss is a matter of time. After all, the strength of the dwarf side and the orc side is too different.

"What should we do?" Dai Yin asked.

"Let's wait." Thorin said.

"Wait? Who can we rely on?"

“Elf and human.”

"Are you crazy? We almost opened it to them. Will they be kind enough to save me?"

"You don't understand this," Thorin smiled and said, "I don't have confidence in them, I don't have confidence in Gandalf and Ronan, but they still want to settle the score with me!"

At this time in the outside world, the blasphemer Azog was commanding another battle to siege the River Valley City.

The remaining orc army advanced south under the command of Azog, and then surrounded the River Valley City. Stones of all sizes hit the city walls and made a bang, bang sound, and arrows fell like rain.

The defenders on the city wall looked at the orcs under the city wall with a nervous look. While pulling their bows and fighting back, they stocked up materials to defend the city on the city wall. There were not many rolling wood, but there were a lot of used buildings in the city, and some were falling rocks.

But at this time, the coalition commander was thinking about not how to defend the city, but how to fight back.

"Strike back? Haven't we suffered enough losses?" Serandury was the first to object.

Their team is called a coalition, but in fact, the forest elves are the absolute main force. Most of the losses on the battlefield today were his soldiers, so of course they felt sorry for them. At this moment, the old habit of fighting was broken again.

Bud had no objection, but Ronan and Gandalf firmly demanded the dispatch of troops.

"Seran Doy, I still recommend that you put your last reserve team on the battlefield and we will fight back to the foot of the Lone Mountain."

"No, the Valley City is also besieged, and we should use the only troops on hand to guard our last fortress."

"So be aware and see what kind of orcs outside the city walls are. Most of them are half-orcs in the foggy mountains. What cities can they capture? If the dwarves are allowed to be encircled and annihilated, that would be a real big problem."

Of course, Thrandun understood this truth, but he just couldn't hold back his face. Why should he let him come up to help the dwarves? Are they making keys?

Legolas firmly suggested: "Let's send troops, at least if the grudges can be settled and the evil can be stopped, I'm willing to give it a try."

OK, Serandury has been a great evil man today, and everyone opposed it. Fortunately, he really understood this truth and just needed a step to go, so he agreed.
