"The city of Lothnir in the south has also been fighting with the Orcs' vanguard wolf cavalry. The battlefield has even extended to the foot of Lothnir." Thorin handed the letter given to him by White Wing and others to Bard who was sitting next to him.
"It seems that the orcs are going to attack from both sides?" Bard sighed. The orcs' conspiracy made the situation of the coalition forces, which were already small in number, even worse.
"Have arrangements been made for the people of Valley State?" Thorin changed the heavy topic.
"Well, I have arranged for them to seek refuge in Erebor. I will have to trouble you later." Bard nodded and thanked him. After all, the dwarves allowed humans to seek refuge in Erebor in this time of crisis, and Bard had to accept this favor.
"Dwalin fought with the Orcs' vanguard again yesterday. We won and lost against each other. I am very confused as to why this Orc army has been staying in the north of Lonely Mountain and not making any progress." Thorin said with a headache.
"Perhaps the last war left an indelible fear in them, causing them to fear the Lonely Mountain?" Bard guessed.
"Who knows, but I always feel uneasy." Thorin sighed. He didn't know where the uneasiness in his heart came from.
"The situation in the south is not much better than ours, and the quality of their army is worrying!" King Dai of Tieqiuling walked into the hall and said loudly.
"How is it? Did you find anything?" Thorin said to Dain who had just returned from the city of Lothnir.
"Well! They found an elven army from somewhere. Apart from this elven army, the quality of other troops is worrying." Dain told about what he saw and heard in the city of Losenniel.
"Dain! The elven army? Are they the woodland elves?" Thorin frowned. Although he didn't want to fight alongside the elves, they couldn't abandon the northern defense line and go to the south!
"No, they have sky-blue hair, and I've never seen banners or armor like them before." Dain spread his hands. This was what puzzled him most. According to Thorin, the city of Lorsaenir had only been established not long ago. Where did this elven army come from? He was completely puzzled.
"Forget it, let's not dwell on this issue. The elves have nothing to do with us. We have to think about how to annihilate the orcs in front of us." Thorin's eyes flashed with wisdom.
…
"Boom~Boom~" The heavy footsteps shook the hearts of all the sentinels on the city walls of Losenniel. On the horizon not far away, orcs were surging from the south like a tide.
"Hurry...hurry up and sound the alarm! The half...orc army is coming...coming!" The militia guarding the city were at a loss, and their hands and feet instantly turned cold as they looked at the moving black tide.
"Ding ding ding!" The crisp sound of bells broke the silence of dawn, and the entire city of Losenniel moved in an instant.
"What's going on?" The garrison knight Maple Leaf Purple grabbed a panicked militiaman.
"Knight... Sir... My lord, the half... half... half-orcs are coming!" The militiamen were so frightened that they danced with joy. The surging "black tide" in front of them seemed to be able to swallow everything, bringing despair to the group of civilians who were temporarily armed.
"Asshole! Look at how cowardly you are! Are you a child of the wilderness? Are you a citizen of the kingdom? Are you a soldier of the tribe?" Maple Leaf Zi was so angry at the cowardly look of the militia in front of him that his hands and feet turned cold.
"Look here! The king is with you! I am with you! The elven army is with you! We have no way to retreat! Our families are behind us!" Maple Leaf Zi roared angrily, and in an instant the chaotic city wall slowly calmed down with him as the center.
"What's going on?" Bai Yi hurried over and saw the city wall that was successfully suppressed by Fengye Zi. Everyone was preparing to meet the enemy in an orderly manner.
"The orcs are coming!" Maple Leaf Purple pointed at the approaching orcs.
"Hmm! Are you finally here? Light up the beacon tower! Tell King Roland on the other side that the orcs are attacking!" Iovia walked out from behind Bai Yi with a scimitar slung over her shoulder.
"How do we fight?" Bai Yi raised his head and asked for Iovia's opinion. After all, this guy had participated in the Battle of the Last Alliance and had much more combat experience than himself.
"The walls of Losenniel are too low. We can't let them climb up to the top of the city. You know we are short of warriors. We can't waste our precious ranged troops fighting the orcs in hand-to-hand combat." Iovia didn't want her people to exchange blood with the orcs. It would be too much of a loss.
"Are you planning to send the elven army to suppress them directly? You won't hold back any tricks?" Bai Yi asked curiously as he saw Iovia planning to send the elven army to attack with a rain of arrows.
"Just hide Peter. The Star Dragon Knights will be enough to give them a hard time." Iovia said casually while looking at the giant ogre mixed in with the orc army.
"Okay, then you take command." Bai Yi decisively gave up the command. No one knew how to command a war better than Iovia.
…
"The Orc army is coming!" Roland felt uneasy when he saw the thick smoke rising from the other side of the river. Why the hell are you doing this to me so early in the morning?
"Caslo! Call everyone to the meeting!" Roland walked down the city wall with a dark face.
"Ding Dong! The main quest is released: The Second Battle of Lonely Mountain. Victory conditions: River Rapids is not breached and the number of civilian deaths is less than 50%. Rewards are 500 random soldiers, 1,000 civilians, and 5 random rewards. Hidden victory conditions: Kill Azog (reward 100 Lagran heavy cavalry), kill Borg (reward 10 Elnino rangers), 3. All allies are not eliminated (reward 5 priests). Killing rewards: Reward for the coalition to eliminate 25% of the total number of Orcs (recruitment configuration equipped with fine steel longswords), reward for the coalition to eliminate 50% of the total number of Orcs (Human Holy Shield Eliar), reward for the coalition to eliminate more than 75% of the total number of Orcs (Knight's Second Holy Ring, Ring of Mercy)." The system suddenly popped up.
"This... System, you're my real daddy..." Roland took a look and tears immediately flowed from his mouth. Not to mention the random soldiers and items, just the heavy cavalry, the Elnino Ranger, and the Holy Shield and Holy Ring! He was so jealous!
"Azog, Borg, and all the lovely orcs, please stay alive! Contribute to my cause!" Roland thought happily.
"Hahaha~" Roland laughed loudly and walked through the street, leaving behind a group of dumbfounded civilians and soldiers.
…
"So they built a city here! Haha! The darkness will eventually devour you! Warriors! The opportunity to drink the blood of the dwarves has come! Kill! Break through the city! Kill everyone! Roar!" Azog rode a white wolf to a place ten miles away from the city of Losenniel.
"roar!"
"kill!"
“Ah!”
More than 10,000 orcs pressed towards the city of Lothnell, mixed in with ogres carrying thick battering rams and running towards the city of Lothnell with heavy steps.
"Two miles away! Shoot! Arrow of the North! Release!" Iovia roared as she drew the elven scimitar from her waist.
"Bang!" The sound of vibrating bowstrings echoed on the top of the city wall. The elven archers and rangers instantly shot out the North Wind Arrow in their hands at a 45-degree angle.
"Swish~" The shrill sound of the wind tore through the sky.
"Elf Archer!" Azog's face changed.
