Dragonborn from Lord of the Rings

Chapter 83 Elf and the Elf Kingdom

Bilbo had never seen a dragonborn in battle before, until this day.

Turka swung Aeglos, and the huge blade directly cut through the ugly body of a big spider, starting from the mouthparts to the disgusting abdomen.The armor-like hard shell couldn't stop Aegloth's sharp spear blade at all.

Then he swiped again, and several hairy spiders were cut flat, and the disgusting juice and some organs immediately flowed all over the ground.

He wanted to take a breath of dragon flame and reduce these chilling monsters to ashes.

But I was afraid that the fire would spread to the sky and affect the dwarves and hobbits.

These little guys are not like him who are not afraid of flames. If the fire spreads in the forest, they have nowhere to hide.

Therefore, he could only suppress the fire-breathing urge, waved his spear vigorously, and slaughtered these spider monsters that Nahal said were closer to wild beasts and did not have much wisdom.

The only thing Turka is fortunate about now is that thanks to the gaps on both sides of the Elven Road, otherwise the Aeglos spear would not be able to perform well in such terrain.

He let Nahaldo maneuver around to protect the poor dwarves and hobbits, while he himself held Aegloth and rushed through the spider swarms.

"Kili!"

As the only archer among the dwarves, the young Kili played the role of support. He drew his small bow and shot an arrow at almost any dangerous place, piercing the eyes of the spiders.

Several times, he rescued the duller dwarves like Balin and Bumbur in time.

The hobbit stood with him, trembling, gripping his short sword.

There are too many spiders, at least hundreds of them.

Although Turka and Nahar fought hard, and a large number of spider corpses covered the ground, there were still a few spiders that broke through the defense line of the surrounding dwarves, jumped into the center of the crowd, and went straight to Bilbo and Kili.

Beorn's ponies were frightened at once, a few of them ran away from the dwarves, and soon these ponies were caught by the spiders' webs and bound into white cocoons.

Kili was thrown here by a spider the size of a calf, and the little bow fell to the side;
Bilbo screamed, and the dagger pierced into the chilling mouthparts of a hideous and terrifying giant spider, making the spider scream in pain.

"He stabbed me! He stabbed me!"

Perhaps because he was carrying the One Ring, Bilbo understood the spider's hissing sound. With a pale face, he stabbed hard and thrust the dagger into the spider's mouthparts, resulting in this scary monster head.

"Stinging Sword? That's a good name."

Bilbo murmured, and a trace of blood came to his pale face.There is both the excitement of fighting the enemy bravely, and the fear of almost being buried in the spider kiss.

He pulled the dagger out of the spider's body, and slashed at the one that felled Kili.

"Go away, disgusting monster! Otherwise, I will let you taste the power of my stabbing sword!"

He, Fili, and Groin killed the spider with swords and axes at the same time, and rescued Kili.

"Maybe I should say thank you." Kili picked up the bow and nodded to him, without too much nonsense: "But let's fight back these monsters first."

I don't know if it's because of getting used to it, or if the act of ending a life with his own hands just now made him completely enlightened.The hobbit's hands didn't shake anymore, and his feet didn't go soft anymore. He followed the dwarves, led by the brave cousins ​​Thorin and Duvalin, and yelled excitedly, killing one spider after another.

But there are so many enemies, even though the ground is already covered with dead spiders, the dawn of victory is still far away.

At the end of the battle, even Bilbo's head was in a daze, and there was a chorus of shouts, and the thumping of knives and hammers, and the sound of bowstrings -- and he was terrified.

Qili's small bow and arrows have long been exhausted, where is the sound of bowstrings coming from?

"Kill the spiders."

A word of Elvish came out of the forest.A sharp arrow silently hit one of the big spiders in the head and shot it down from the tree.

The spiders were taken aback.They hissed and looked around.

Woo!
woohoo~~
Bilbo heard what he most wanted to hear.

It was the horn of the elves.

They come from the depths of the forest, blowing through the treetops and grass, through the valleys and streams, inspiring.

"Elves! It's elves!" Bilbo jumped up excitedly, and was inexplicably surprised to see a large number of elves in green cloaks and gray tights jumping out from the trees and from behind the bushes.

Use arrows and long swords to shoot and stab the spiders to death.

The spider's formation was suddenly disrupted.

They hissed in bewilderment.I don't know whether to turn around and face the elves, or continue to attack the delicious pastry in front of me.

This gave the elves an opportunity.

And there were so many of them, almost as many as the swarm of spiders.This ended the fight incredibly quickly—almost helping Turka and Nahar a lot.

"These Murikundi come at a good time," said Nahal, pausing.Its huge golden hooves had just crushed the ugly head of a spider.

Merikundi, the elves who have not seen the light of the Two Sacred Trees, are also called dark elves to distinguish those Karakundi on Aman who have seen the light of the Two Sacred Trees—that is, the light elves.

"On this continent, the starlight of Elentári is our eternal love, my lord." A very handsome tall elf jumped down from the tree and landed on Turka and Nahar. come forward and say.

Elantari, after the stars, also known as Varda and Elberis, is the most revered Vala by the elves.

Nahal nodded, accepting his words.

"Legolas!"

Turka stuck Aegloth on the ground and embraced the elf passionately.

The spiders finally collapsed, and they were either driven or killed by other elves. A large number of spiders were wiped out in this battle, and the corpses even spread out of the valley.

"Elves!"

Thorin pulled Oakrist out of one of the spiders with an ugly look on his face.

Because he believed that he encountered this ambush entirely because the elves deliberately let the spiders run rampant in the forest.

And he thought the timing of the elf's appearance was too ingenious, and it was unfair to the dwarves who had been fighting for a whole field before the elves appeared until all the dwarves were exhausted.

The other dwarves felt that it was a lucky thing that someone came to save them. They sat down on the ground, thankful that they escaped unharmed.

As if aware of Thorin's anger, Turka let go of Legolas, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "You guys came in time, and if I was a little later, I couldn't help setting fire. You know, it's very important to me. It's not difficult."

A smile appeared on Legolas' face. "Yes, this is indeed worthy of gratitude." He said: "Let's leave the wrath of Draknis (another elf name for Dragonborn, which means: Dragon's Fire) to the mountains, and let the elves continue to own the forest."

Then the Elf Prince came up to Thorin, and said: "May your beard grow still, Son of Thrain, Thorin Oakenshield, King of the Kingdom Below the Mountain."

Sorin's expression was just a little bit nicer.

He scowled and snorted.

"The ears of the elves are still sharp, and they can always sense everything in the forest. You came in time, elf, in time I thought you had some spies around me."

"Sorin!" Balin interrupted the harshness of the dwarf king in a timely manner. He bowed deeply to the elf prince apologetically, and said, "Thank you! Thank you for the timely appearance of the elf! May the friendship between the dwarf and the elf be like green pine, Everlasting prosperity!"

"I hope so," said Legolas.

Then turn around and leave.

Thorin's face was livid when he was angry.

Turka shook his head, really not knowing what to say.

Perhaps the relationship between the two races has eased due to the war ten years ago, but it is obvious that the inner gap between the two still exists.

The elves of the Woodland Kingdom are not like the elves of Rivendell and Linton. Thranduil has the most direct hatred and conflict with Thorin. If you want to resolve it, it will not be healed overnight.

Especially, with Thorin's temper... hmm.

Legolas first chatted with other elves for a while - Turka saw a familiar figure, Tauriel, the captain of the King's Guard of the Woodland Kingdom, also came.

Then came over.

"My lord." He sent an invitation to Turka: "Perhaps you can go to the kingdom of elves to recuperate."

Legolas glanced at the distraught dwarves and the fleeing ponies, and said with a little bit of sympathy: "It seems that you can't continue your journey now. And my My father also asked me to invite you to go, it seems that there is something I want to tell."

Turka froze.

"Is there anything the Elf King wants to discuss with me?" he asked.

He had met Thranduil years ago.But to be honest, he has only normal feelings for this famous elf king.It's not that there's anything wrong with him, but he's more like a human king than Cirdan and Elrond.

"Father didn't say it, but I think it should be very important." Legolas said seriously: "Because when he came out, he asked me to invite you back."

Turka frowned.He looked at Thorin with gloomy expression, then at the weak and almost collapsed dwarf and our master snitch, and nodded slowly.

"I will never accept Thranduil's charity!" Thorin jumped up, the first to express his objection.

But both Bahrain and others persuaded him to agree.

"We need to rest." Bahrain said out of publicity: "There are also a few ponies missing. If we can get supplies, it will be beneficial to the next journey, and we should not refuse."

"I can't walk anymore." Bomber muttered, "And I'm tired and thirsty. If the elves are willing to entertain, then why not? Let it be their compensation."

But all this inspired Thorin's inner stubbornness. He said: "If you want to go, go, but none of my subjects is begging for mercy from the elves of the woodland kingdom!"

This made Turka couldn't help scolding: "Don't be stupid, dwarf!"

The dragonborn even used a bit of magic power, the loud and majestic voice shook the forest canopy, causing butterflies and insects to fly.The surrounding trees are set off like a sea of ​​colors.

The dwarf trembled from the shock of the magical scolding, with a look of bewilderment.

The elves also looked at each other in surprise, with awe in their eyes.

"It is wise to recognize the enemy and ourselves and stop the loss in time." Turka accepted the voice of the dragon, and said with some helplessness: "Aren't we going to the Lonely Mountain before Turin Day?"

He persuaded: "But if there is not enough food and horses, how can we arrive on time?"

Thorin's face was ashen, but in the end, he nodded slowly.

Immediately thereupon the dwarves gave a cheer.

Bilbo also collapsed on the ground with a tired face.

But soon, he was moved aside by Turkala and said something in a low voice.

It can be seen that our Master Baggins was very surprised, but he nodded awkwardly facing the majestic vertical pupils of the silver-white king.

So they turned north and set out on the Woodland Kingdom.

Because of the leadership of the forest elves, the adventure team was able to move forward quickly from some unknown trails. They passed through a large expanse of firs and crossed endless oaks. After walking for nearly a day, they came to a huge mountain range.

Here is the Black Forest Mountains called Emyn Duil. A swift river winds down from the northern foot of the mountain, flows north into the Jungle River, and flows into Esgalos, which is also known as the Long Lake. town.

The palace of Thranduil, the kingdom of the woodlands, is located in a huge cave somewhere surrounded by the jungle river.

There are countless small caverns in this huge cavern, which stretches to the far underground, and there are many passages and wide halls in it.

After entering the cave, you can see many winding tunnels lit with torches, these tunnels are not too deep, and the air is relatively fresh.

The king's throne is in a hall somewhere in the cave, and the columns of the hall are carved out of stone.

Obviously, Thranduil built this palace with reference to Menegroth (meaning Palace of Thousand Grottoes), the capital of the Kingdom of Dorias established by the Sindar elves in the first era.

Considering that Thranduil once lived in Doriath when he was young, it is not surprising that he has this act of reminiscence.

The main gate of the palace was cut on a beech-covered hillside. This gate is magical, and once anyone enters, it is impossible to leave easily.

And the dense forest river flows right in front of the gate, and a long stone road connects the palace of the Elven King and the dark dense forest.

woohoo~~
Seeing the return of the tribe, the guards guarding this kind of palace immediately opened the main door to welcome their prince and distinguished guests.

The dwarves looked at this majestic underground palace with curiosity and scrutiny, and said with a little 'disgust': "Compared with the kingdom under the mountain, this palace of the Elven King is far worse."

"This palace was once one of the masterpieces of the dwarves. The elves asked the dwarves for help and built this palace."

But in reality, as we all know, this is simply not possible.

Because the architectural style here is completely different from the thick and majestic architectural style of the dwarves.

The architectural style here is more exquisite, complicated and integrated with nature.

It is basically the same as the home of the dwarves.

However, Legolas and the others did not pierce the ridiculous self-esteem of these proud and arrogant dwarves, but warmly invited everyone to enter this exquisite underground palace.

bang.

As everyone entered the sacred realm of the woodland kingdom, the magic gate was closed, and a gleam of light flashed in Turka's amber vertical pupils.

Hope things don't turn out the way I imagined.

he thought.

Behind him, our master Baggins looked around nervously and curiously, with a look of embarrassment.One hand couldn't help but put it into the pocket, caressing the ring inside.
