A few days later, Edge's scout team detected the orcs.Edge, who was on guard, of course knew that the orcs were coming and relying on the way to open caves underground to march this way.Under the arrangement of the Demon Lord Sauron, the armies of orcs and wolves were assembled in an orderly manner under the leadership of Asog.Moreover, there are quite a few goblins and trolls in the team.In fact, in Middle-earth, goblins are also a type of orcs, but a subspecies of different branches.There are also many different subspecies of half-orcs among the orcs because of different regions, like their leader, Asog is a Gondbada half-orc, and his body is taller than other orcs, and his IQ is also much higher, so he is the leader.Before, Aitch burned down Goblin City and made a feud with the goblins, so the goblins also sent an army, plus a group of trolls raised by the goblins, Asog's confidence is now greatly increased, and he believes that he will be able to eliminate the dwarves of the Lonely Mountain and the humans of Longlake Town in one fell swoop, and if it is convenient, then the elves of the Dark Forest will also be eliminated by the way.These dark creations are basically the work of Morgoth, which means that these creatures hate sunlight, but not to the same extent.Tall orcs can walk freely in the sun, but they get tired easily and find the sun more disgusting.Elves (goblins) are very uncomfortable in the sun, which is why Elf City was built underground.As for the most powerful trolls, they die at the sight of the light, and even with the corresponding armor and some ointment created by the elves, the trolls will not survive long in the sun and will petrify.So, as a good commander, Asog will of course choose to attack at night or on cloudy days.In the original book, Assog attacked on a cloudy day, and this time Assog had the same idea.At night, though, orcs can hide from the nasty sunlight.However, because this time it is a unified battle between orcs, wolves, goblins, and trolls, if you can't see where your teammates are, it's easy to accidentally injure your allies.In addition, the team is large, and Asog needs to command in real time, and it must be ensured that Asog can see the battle situation at any time, and the army can also see Asog's command at any time, so it is still necessary to attack during the day.So, although Asog came quite quickly, he was waiting for the best time for a cloudy day, so he was delayed for some time.The five hundred dwarves in more costumes led by Dane had arrived at the Lonely Mountain, and Thrandui had brought more than 2,000 elves to Longlake.Because Thorin is not at odds with the elves now, and no one outside is worried about his gold, so, unlike in the movie, the front of the lonely mountain is deserted.The inhabitants of Long Lake still live in Long Lake (Smaug was killed before he could destroy much), and the army is stationed outside Long Lake, as are the elven army.Therefore, Thorin did not block the gate of the lonely mountain, and after his cousin Dann arrived with his troops, he was directly greeted warmly into the lonely mountain.Now that Thorin has obtained the Akon Treasure Diamond, coupled with the blood relationship, he is already recognized by the dwarves as the rightful king of the land.Most of the dwarves confessed to death, and after acknowledging Thorin's status, Dane did not have any other thoughts.If it were a human being, I am afraid that at this time, I would have to lead someone to snatch the Arkan Bao diamond and establish himself as the king.Thorin wrote to his cousin to bring troops because he was insecure, and Aitch had warned that there would be an orc attack, so Thorin continued to defend the mountain with a group of troops.Moreover, after that, Thorin had to gather the dwarves scattered all over the country to return to the Lonely Mountain, which was in great need of people during this time.Dane was of great help to Thorin at this point.Inside the pile of gold, Thorin is still under the influence of greed.However, after being scorned by King Edge, and losing all of his Mithril, Thorin was still a rare calm and less paranoid.Anyway, Aitch didn't expect the dwarves to participate in the exhibition, as long as they were a good audience.And Edge's side, who was in the hall, was easily discussing the strategy with a group of people: "Now the location of the orcs has been roughly confirmed.Today was cloudy, and it seemed that some of Sauron's power was radiating and obscuring the sun.So it's almost certain that the orc attack is about to begin. ”The Elven Lords had already seen the demonstration of Edge's thermal weapons in the past few days, so they were not worried, and Thranduy said, "If there are only more than 20,000 orcs, I believe that with your weapons, you should be able to easily repel them."
The elves I brought with me can also be dispatched at any time. ”Aitch replied nonchalantly, "If it's just to repel them, this operation will be a bit of a failure."
This time, it was to kill the orcs as much as possible, and let their elite be killed and wounded all at once.In this way, Middle-earth can be peaceful for decades. ”Elrond agreed, having experienced the great battle at the end of the Second Age, it was not at all soft to kill the orcs: "So how do we arrange to be able to annihilate the orcs?"
”Aiqi pointed to the map: "According to their location, they are basically attacking the two directions of Gushan and Changhu Town.Dwarves aside, there aren't many of them on our side, and we can't outflank the orcs.Therefore, it is best to attract the orcs to a certain distance to prevent them from retreating before attacking.The main attack is best to be attacked by the thermal weapons of my troops, slaughtering the orcs as much as possible, and after they have broken up, the elven army will press down and harvest the lone orcs.When attacking, you also need Tony's help. ”Everyone present agreed to Edge's arrangement, and went down to start arranging, preparing to deal with the orc legions that might appear at any time.
