Chapter 1140 1122. Cooperation and Persistence
The sound of gold coins collapsing from the golden mountain, which seemed to never stop, completely stopped at this moment.
The entire splendid treasure hall was silent.
Until——‘ding rang~’.
The long echo after the collision of precious metals lingers in this huge building.
Thorin stood up from the golden mountain.
He tore off the crown he had worn on his head since he drove out Smaug and threw it aside without mercy.
The crown of gold and iron was like an inconspicuous object in this mountain of gold and silver, sliding all the way down and rolling to an unknown place.
The cold air in the Lonely Mountain filled Thorin's chest, calming his mind that seemed to be bursting just now.
The dragon odor in the air, which originally caused physiological discomfort and was highly adhesive and permeable, now smells like dust and mold.
Thorin lowered his head and walked down the gold mountain. What was strange was that his movements were much crisper than before, but the gold coins that slipped and collapsed because of this were not many at all.
Thorin ripped off the luxurious cloak that he had taken from his grandfather's room, and threw it on the golden mountain and silver sea.
Under the cloak, he was still wearing the same light armor that was not clean but strong enough as he had been on his journey the previous year.
Going all the way to the door of the treasure hall, [Beast Biting Sword] Oakcrest leaned against the door quietly.
A few days have passed since I faced Smaug with it, but it has been leaning here and has never been touched again.
At this time, because the outside of the Lonely Mountain was full of orcs, this elf sword, which could sense the approach of orcs, had a warning blue light coming out of the scabbard.
Thorin grabbed the elven sword forged in the First Age as he passed by, and then left the splendid hall without looking back.
——
“They can’t hold on any longer!”
On Crow Ridge, Azog declared proudly and cruelly in black language.
He watched condescendingly as the space of the dwarves was compressed step by step, towards the closed gate of the lonely mountain.
Will that door open?
If these dwarves are allowed to enter the Lonely Mountain and fight a siege, it will definitely be very troublesome.
But the pale orc looked up at the gloomy sky.
As if intoxicated, he took a deep breath of the cold air.
In this land, at this moment, the power of darkness is spreading vigorously! And it brings about changes in the celestial phenomena and atmosphere.
The power of the demon wolf, the power of the orc army, and the remaining evil power of the evil dragon in the lonely mountain!
Farther away, there is a dark cloud approaching quickly. Those are the Gundaba orc troops dispatched by Bolger!
Azog just feels confident!
"Prepare to deliver the final blow to the dwarves! I will make it impossible for them to enter the Lonely Mountain forever!"
The savage and evil Black Whisper gave the order, and the orcs behind Azog blew their horns and used the changes of the flagpole to give instructions to the army below.
The pale orc, who thought he had finished dealing with the dwarves, had already turned his head and turned his attention to the direction of River Valley City on the side.
In that direction were not only elves and humans, but also four giant earth-eating insects that were flying and shaking the earth!
The giant earth-devouring insects have no vocal organs, but the explosion and roar when their huge and heavy bodies hit the ground is the most terrifying roar!
“Bang!!!”
The muscular stick-like body was raised and smashed down, and the surrounding ground seemed to have experienced an earthquake!
“Ah!”
The elves and orcs who were standing closer were thrown into the sky regardless of whether they were friend or foe, and then fell heavily.
However, considering the general body weight of elves, more orcs died in the process.
But obviously, the giant earth-eating worm has no brains to care about this kind of thing, and Zhaoge Luyin doesn’t care about this kind of thing at all.
It is now enjoying this 'unfair battle' created by it.
"The third time, dragon slayer!"
The blue demon wolf jumped up vigorously, stood firm on the giant earth-eating worm, and laughed loudly downwards.
Due to its high density, an airflow blade that has a significant difference in light refractive index from the surrounding air flew in its direction.
But the body of the earth-devouring giant insect, which was like a mountain, only arched a small section at will, blocking Zhaoge Luyin behind his body.
The airflow blade produced a bloody effect on the giant earth-devouring insect, like a saw cutting fresh meat, but it could not hurt the demonic wolf behind it at all.
Due to Zhaogelu's huge size, one claw could cover Lan En's upper body, but on the giant earth-devouring insect, it was as if he was running on flat ground.
“I admit that you are very powerful, but so what? Your swordsmanship defeated me three times and forced me back three times, but nothing happened to me! But what about you? How dare you let me? Did the minions touch you once?”
The demon wolf’s sneer was extremely unpleasant.
But Lan En, who turned his eyes and calmly observed the battlefield environment, was not even interested in responding to it.
The body crushed by the giant earth-eating worm looked like it had smashed down a small hill!
The shadows covering the top of the head, the smashed ground, the flying dust and gravel.
There are also the yellow lights that occasionally flash out from the dust and smoke. A pair of wolf eyes, always threatening Lan En's nerves with a cold sense of oppression.
The giant earth-devouring insects will also be like pythons, trapping their prey and then curling up their bodies to crush the enemy with their bodies that can dig through mountains.
Fortunately, these bugs are just pure wild creatures. Lan En was able to see through the inner muscle movements of their bodies in a very short time, so he was able to move first every time he was about to be surrounded.
However, the method of movement is limited to using [Acceleration] to dodge, plus jumping and projectile hooks. Come and get yourself over the mountain-like body of the giant insect.
These giant insects are controlled by Zhaogeluin. The demon wolf can run freely on them, but if Lan En dares to go up
The skin on the surface of these insects is small. The cracks are as wide as an average person's thigh. When you step in, if the bugs squirm and squeeze, it's no different from putting your foot in a rock hydraulic press.
It’s not like Lan En didn’t think about killing these four giant earth-eating insects first.
After all, they should be easier to deal with than demon wolves no matter what. But the giant earth-devouring insects are not only 'human shields' prepared by the demon wolf in advance and can be discarded at will, Zhaoge Luyin himself also knows their importance.
If Lan En mainly attacks the demon wolf, the giant insects will move their bodies and come up to block the blade exuding holy power.
If Lan En focuses on attacking giant insects, the demon wolf will be nearby, ready to take a bite at any time.
This is the battle plan that Lan En tried, but the result.
“Pah~”
A drop of bright red blood hit the dusty wasteland along the fingertips of Lan En's left hand.
The witcher's amber cat eyes glanced slightly to the side of his body.
On his left arm, a piece of flesh the size of an ordinary person's fist completely disappeared.
Not only the flesh and blood, but even the [Tendon Coil] steel cable covering the flesh and blood was missing a piece of it with an extremely smooth cut.
This is the corner that Zhaoge Luyin’s claws scratched just now.
The flesh and blood it dug out at that time was also involved, tearing away a piece of skin near Lan En's wound, exposing a lot of the inner steel cables.
But thanks to Lan En's use of Nergigante materials, the regeneration ability of [Tendon Coil] is good, and he also implanted [Belisarius Furnace] himself.
So this horrific wound is healing quickly.
The [Early Recovery Stone] worn around the waist is also constantly providing vitality.
After personally experiencing the special characteristics of Zhaogeluin's claws and teeth, Lan En has roughly confirmed the conjecture that he and Mentos had sorted out before.
But the problem is still not solved. A demon wolf and four giant earth-eating worms cooperate with each other. It is too difficult to kill!
Although as he fought with the demon wolf, the battlefield approached River Valley City, Lan En did not dare to call Qilin and Fongbuqiu to come over for support.
Because Qilin and Velvet Ball are actually wild creatures and have no other power in their bodies for protection. Lan En doesn’t know and doesn’t dare to bet on whether the demon wolf’s control over giant insects can spread to them. body.
On the other hand
“Breathe in”
Long and regular breathing began to be clearly audible from Lan En's mouth.
This kind of breathing method has been practiced in his bones for a long time. Logically speaking, no one can detect it at all. Now the breathing movement is getting louder and louder, which can only mean that his oxygen consumption is almost unsteady.
Although he is far from his former self, Lan En has completed several more surgeries and completed three Primaris procedures.
But in fact, these operations all increase the body’s output and energy consumption!
[Belisarius Furnace] is nothing more than accumulating energy on a daily basis and using it to quickly heal itself when injured.
Lan En's body was originally controlled by the [Gene Seed], and the balance between the super organs and the organs that had not been operated on was gradually approaching destruction due to this high-intensity and long-term battle.
“Bang!”
Another Zhaoge Luyin’s unscrupulous flying and swiping claws!
The giant earth-devouring insects also followed and pressed down!
Lan En didn’t want to be restricted by the demon wolf’s claws and be crushed to death later on. I don't want to have my body hollowed out by a claw.
So I had to move flexibly again.
The demon wolf also ran away at a touch, not staying in front of Lan En for even half a second.
Because it also knows that it must keep a distance if it wants to take advantage of its 'human shield'. The giant earth-devouring insect only greatly reduces the risk of being harmed, rather than completely protecting it.
The most appropriate tactic is to use your best killing methods to sneak attack Lan En from time to time.
"Gandalf! Do you have any idea?"
Lan En, who had just crossed the giant insect's body, shouted without looking back. This place was already very close to River Valley City. He had just seen a pointed gray hat on the city wall.
In fact, Zhaoge Luyin really wanted to move the battlefield between them towards River Valley City, because the giant earth-eating insects could easily crush this city that had been in disrepair.
However, under Lan En's exquisite and compact restraint and control, the Earth-eating Giant Insect and Zhaoge Luyin always had to stop here for his 'high-value target'.
“If you have no idea, I’m going to take a gamble!”
The elves and orcs beside the city wall hurriedly stayed away from this powerful and exaggerated battlefield, and were pushed to other parts of the city wall. direction.
And Gandalf on the city wall did hear Lan En's decisive and calm shout.
But his response was.
"Hold on! Lan En! Keep holding on!"
"What did you say?!"
Even with Lan En maintained a calm and rational fighting attitude in the face of Zhaoge Luyin and the four giant earth-eating worms. He also raised his eyebrows at this time.
I'm asking you about your response plan, are you giving me chicken soup?
"Yes Lan En, hold on!"
But for some reason, Gandalf's words at this time seemed extremely powerful. Not only Lan En, but also the militiamen on the walls of River Valley City near the battlefield suddenly felt a sense of courage and enthusiasm.
"As long as we persevere, there is hope! We have done everything we can do! Justice will respond to us!"
Lan En only feels that from the bottom of his heart, even the slightest fatigue and weariness are overwhelming. Disappearing like dust being washed away.
Instead, there is courage and persistence.
This is not brainless recklessness, but rather the persistence and courage of trying one's best in the face of difficulties and still not giving up, believing that one can find a way out.
