Chapter 576 The Intruding Dragon

When they were hundreds of steps away, the orc cavalry threw short spears, drew their bows and arrows, and shot at the heavy "tin cans".

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

A clear metallic sound sounded, and the arrow hit the dwarves' fine armor and bounced away instantly.

You must know that these are the most elite cavalry in the Alpine Kingdom. Even the goats under them are covered in thick armor, and ordinary arrows cannot break through them.

The dwarf heavy cavalry did not launch a counterattack. They just silently clenched their war hammers and charged, waiting for the close confrontation between the two sides.

"boom--"

In an instant, the steel torrent of dwarf heavy cavalry collided with the violent wave of orc warg cavalry and intertwined.

"Crush these dwarves!"

"Kill these tusked bastards!"

In order to facilitate reconnaissance operations, most of the orc cavalry wore light leather armor or even went bare-chested.

The dwarves, however, wore heavy iron armor and held war hammers in their hands, and their impact was far greater than that of the orc cavalry.

In just one encounter, hundreds of orc cavalry were crushed by leaping goats, and even their wargs were trampled to the ground by iron hooves.

Then, like a solid low wall made of steel, the dwarves kept charging forward, crushing all the orc cavalry in front of them.

"Crush them!"

Ed raised the war hammer in his hand high and smashed it down with all his strength.

"boom!

The ground in front of the dwarf king suddenly shook, blood and broken leather armor splashed everywhere, and the orcs and wargs flew out wailing.

"Orcs!"

"You have offended the wrong person! We, the shield dwarves of the Mountain Kingdom—"

Ed swung the war hammer again, drawing arcs in mid-air. A powerful hurricane suddenly set off, and countless sand and stones surged, forming a terrifying sandstorm.

"No--"

"Help!"

"Gruush, please, what is this?"

Suddenly, hundreds of orcs and wargs around Ed were swept into the sky by the strong wind. They howled and struggled feebly, but still could not break free from the shackles of this power.

The broken leather armor, missing scimitars and short spears of the orcs were also flying in the air in the sandstorm, cutting the orcs' bodies from time to time.

"Never, never bow to the dirty orcs! Never!"

Ed shouted loudly and suddenly swung his war hammer down. Everything in the air - the orcs, wargs and fragments suddenly fell down.

Those sharp gravels were like strong winds and rain, and like sharp swords falling from the sky, nailing the remaining orcs to the ground.

The offensive of the dwarf heavy cavalry was particularly fierce. They were like a heavy hammer, slamming into the battle formation of the orc cavalry, tearing a huge crack in the center.

But after all, there are only five hundred dwarf heavy cavalry, while the orc warg cavalry alone has nearly ten thousand people, and other miscellaneous troops number hundreds of thousands.

Soon, the charge of the dwarf heavy cavalry became more and more sluggish, and the goat's pace became more and more heavy.

Often dozens of orc cavalry surrounded several dwarf heavy cavalry. The dwarves waved their war hammers and fought hard, but they were still overwhelmed.

No matter how well-equipped and powerful their equipment is, they are still unable to cope with ten times or even more enemies.

Loud horns sounded, wargs howled one after another, and the orc cavalry harassed from different directions, dividing and surrounding the dwarves on the battlefield.

“Dirty Tusk, there are too many of them!

Where is the direction of the city wall of Avendeldan? Damn gravel, I can't see clearly! "

The dwarf heavy cavalry held a war hammer in his hand, gritted his teeth and looked around. The goats under him were walking in panic, and their hooves made a sound.

He saw the wargs galloping on the sand, circling the lone fighting dwarf, causing dust to fly on the ground, so that he could only see black shadows moving among them.

Suddenly, a huge black shadow descended from the sky, and the dwarf heavy cavalry did not even have time to turn around.

"Shua——"

The blood-stained double-headed ax blade flashed with light, and the dwarf felt his throat go cold, and his head flew up into the air.

The goat under him screamed in panic and tried to run away, but was cut in half by the rapidly rotating double-headed ax thrown by the orc.

The goat dragged the front half of its body and neighed in pain on the ground. The cross-section was quite flat, and its bloody internal organs were flowing all over the ground.

"The heavy cavalry of the dwarves. Nothing more than that."

Munch stretched out his hand, spread his fingers, and the double-headed ax flew over and landed firmly in his hand.

The black warg under his crotch greedily licked the warm blood of the dwarves and goats on the ground, letting out a soft whistle of pleasure.

"boom!"

There was another heavy roar, and the ground shook again.

Munch turned to look at the source of the sound, his face darkened.

——The dwarf was seen waving his war hammer, and dozens of orc cavalry suddenly fell into the air, being smashed into pieces by the rubble, and their lives were like grass.

"Ed Klein, the ruler of the Mountain Kingdom and the king of the shield dwarves, is indeed a troublesome guy.

but"

Munch's voice was low, but the corners of his mouth turned up involuntarily, and a fanatical smile appeared on his ferocious face with fangs.

"He is qualified to be my opponent, and his head will become the most perfect sacrifice I offer to God the Father."

Gruumsh is a god who takes pleasure in war and is always looking for territory for his people, and his believers also follow the will of their father.

There is no word for "peace" in the orc language, only a guttural curse that roughly means "a temporary cessation of conflict."

"Dwarf! I will take off your head and sacrifice it to the great father god Gruumsh!"

Monk laughed wildly, riding the huge black-backed wolf and galloping towards Eddard, with a scarlet light shining from his one eye again.

Eddard also noticed the orc vanguard not far away. He turned around and looked solemn.

As the ruler of the Alpine Kingdom, he had read a lot of intelligence and knew that there was such an orc who was favored by the one-eyed god.

"This is the Eye of Gruumsh."

The dwarf king did not act rashly, but clenched the war hammer in his hand, prepared to fight and waited for the opportunity.

"Ah--"

The wolf let out a long and sharp howl, then jumped up, and Monk also raised the double-headed axe on the wolf's back and chopped it down vertically.

Eddard looked at the aggressive orcs with a steady look, and held up the heavy hammer when the axe blade was about to fall.

"Bang!"

The gravel flew everywhere, and sharp rocks rose from the ground, piercing the huge wolf on the spot, causing blood and internal organs to flow out.

The heavy hammer blocked in front of Ed, and it resisted the orc's double-headed axe with a crisp sound.

"Dwarf! Your fortress will be captured by us! Your kingdom will be occupied by us! Your subjects will become slaves of the orcs!

The blood in Monk's one eye surged, and he kept swinging the axe, and the blood-stained axe came like a storm.

"And this time, even the gods can't save you! This is the power of the father god Gruumsh!"

Monk's veins popped up all over his body, his expression was extremely ferocious, and he spit out a fishy breath from his mouth. He chopped down the axe with all his strength.

"Bang! "

A clear metallic sound rang out, and a strong air wave spread rapidly, almost raising a dust hurricane.

But the iron hammer still blocked the blow, and the dwarf king holding the hammer did not even take a step back.

"No, you are wrong."

There was a coldness in Ed's eyes under the metal mask, and his voice was extremely firm, and every word was clear.

"Even if we fight alone, even without the protection of the gods, we shield dwarves will drive you back to the north!

"This is my promise to all my subjects!"

Ed shouted angrily, exerted force in his hand, aimed at the orc's double-headed axe and hit it suddenly, and unimaginable power broke out from the short and sturdy body.

"Bang!"

Monk was caught off guard and flew backwards with his battle axe.

The powerful and solid force was transmitted to his body along the axe handle, causing him to spit blood and look very embarrassed.

Monk in the air suddenly had an extremely dangerous premonition, and the illusion of the orc being pierced by a sharp stone appeared in his one eye.

Not good!

Monk was in awe. With his strong physique, he twisted his body in mid-air.

At this moment, the stone spike suddenly rose from the ground and pierced the orc's heart, but he twisted it away in mid-air and pierced his chest.

Ed followed closely, raised his war hammer with both hands, and smashed it at Monk with all his strength.

Monk quickly laid the double-headed axe horizontally and held it in front of him, ready to take the dwarf's attack.

"Boom!"

The earth trembled again, and dust rose all over the sky, covering the battlefield, making it unclear.

When the smoke dissipated, a huge pit with a diameter of nearly ten meters appeared on the ground, and in the center of the huge pit, the battle continued.

Ed held the war hammer in his hand, with an angry face, and kept pressing down. Bright yellow light overflowed from the war hammer - that was the power given to him by the dwarf god!

"Dirty orc, a monster that lives on killing, you don't deserve to live in this world!"

The orc Monk was lying on the ground, clenching his teeth, his face twisted, and blood flowing from his mouth.

The rough hands trembled slightly, and the handle of the double-headed axe was about to deform.

"Ahem, dwarf"

Suddenly, Monk grinned, and then shouted hoarsely: "Look straight at me!"

Ed subconsciously looked over, but found that the turbid one eye was shining with scarlet light again.

It's a trap!

The dwarf king's expression suddenly changed, and he felt a chaotic and violent force surging from it, like a bloody beast, about to devour his mind.

"Buzz--"

A sharp roar sounded beside his ears, and Ed only felt that there was a sea of ​​blood and corpses of dwarves and elves in front of him.

And at the top of the bloody hill, an extremely tall orc turned around, and a terrifying light shone from his only remaining one eye.

Gruumsh!

It was the Never Sleeping One, the One-Eyed God Gruumsh!

Even the fearless Eddard was shaking violently at this moment. The fear from the soul pressed on his heart, making him breathless.

And it was this brief moment of distraction that made his hands loosen, and gave Monk, who was pressed under him, an opportunity to knock the warhammer away.

"Go to hell!"

Accompanied by the orcs' grim smile, the axe blade tore through the air, carrying endless blood, and chopped towards the head of the dwarf king.

"Dang--"

Monk's face was horrified, and the helmet that had been passed down in the mountain kingdom for thousands of years finally showed its power.

A familiar figure appeared in front of Eddard: it was a male dwarf with a broad chest, with hair and beard that seemed to be carved from gray stone, earthy brown skin, and silver fire eyes.

It was this illusory figure that helped Eddard resist this fatal attack.

That was Dumathoin, the descendant of Moradin, the main god of the shield dwarves!

And the armor Ed is wearing is a treasure that has been passed down by the shield dwarf clan for thousands of years - the secret treasure of the earth!

But at this moment, due to resisting the fatal blow, a crack appeared on the helmet.

Only then did Ed come back to his senses. He looked at the Lord God in front of him in astonishment, and then looked at Monk, with blazing anger in his eyes.

"Dirty orcs!

Your despicable methods have no effect in front of the dwarves! Go meet Gruumsh! "

The dwarf king swung his war hammer vigorously and struck straight for the orc's heart, but Monk relied on the ability of the "Eye of Gruumsh" to predict his attacks several times.

Ed's heavy hammer bombarded him wildly, but although Monk was not as strong as the dwarf, he was able to dodge and resist, and the two sides were in a stalemate for a while.

But with the sound of "click", the orc's double-headed ax was finally overwhelmed, and broke apart under the continuous heavy blows of the war hammer, with fragments flying everywhere.

Ed jumped up high and swung his hammer down. Several rock thorns around him rose up, occupying all Monk's retreat routes.

"boom!"

The earth trembled and the sound shook the sky.

Ed's hammer penetrated directly through Monk's chest, shattering his heart that was flowing with violent blood.

Munch lay flat in the center of the huge pit, panting heavily but not making any screams. There were shocking wounds on his broken body.

In that bloody ceremony, he had gouged out his eyes without saying a word, and now, even with his heart broken, he did not cry out.

Munch Broken Body is dying.

Ed pulled out the heavy hammer that had been smashed into the ground, stared into Monk's one eye, and said in a deep voice: "Orc, this hammer is for my subjects."

Although his life was about to come to an end, Munch burst out laughing and coughed dryly.

"Hahahaha, cough, dwarf, you are a strong man.

But do you really think that your mountain kingdom can win this war? "

Ed's expression changed suddenly, and he looked around anxiously.

Under the siege of the orcs all over the mountains and plains, there were not many of his most elite dwarf heavy cavalry left. Although they fought hard, they still could not change the situation of the battle.

The orcs crowded in front of the city wall again. They set up ladders and climbed up like a swarm of ants, eating away at the dwarf's fortress.

At this moment, the leading troops of the orcs had already climbed onto the city wall and were fighting with the garrisoned dwarf guards.

It turns out that this was Munch’s plan! At the cost of his life, he wanted to hold back this powerful "Lord of the Mountain" and buy time for the orc army to attack.

"No, it will never fall without Avendeldan!"

Ed suddenly turned pale, sweat broke out on his forehead, and he muttered to himself.

"I will receive eternal life in the kingdom of God the Father! And you, dwarf, you and your subjects will become slaves of the orcs for eternity!"

Monk behind him smiled mockingly. He used his last strength to shout hoarsely, and then died.

Ed gritted his teeth and raised the war hammer in his hand. The surrounding rubble condensed into a giant rock, suspended in mid-air.

There's still a chance!

As long as he puts all his efforts into it, he will be able to turn the tide and defeat the orc army!

"Prostrate yourself in fear and tremble before the One who never sleeps."

At this moment, a low, hoarse voice sounded, and several orc shamans were seen surrounding him, chanting incantations continuously.

The thick white bone staffs exuded a thick black mist, gradually condensing into dozens of chains, entangling Ed at the center, making him unable to move.

"Gruush again"

Ed was sweating profusely and trembling all over. Gruumsh's appearance appeared before his eyes again, extremely clear.

The dwarf king was about to crush his teeth, and blood oozed from his mouth. He raised his head and managed to maintain his sanity.

"Moradin.

Could it be that the millennium-old inheritance of the Mountain Kingdom and the ten thousand-year glory of the shield dwarf clan are about to be ruined by me? "

The sky was densely covered with haze, blocking out the sunlight, and horrific scenes constantly appeared in front of my eyes.

In the distance, more and more orcs climbed onto the city wall, and the dwarf guards fell one after another. Even Ed, who had always been as strong-willed as steel, felt a little desperate at this scene.

Who else can save them?

At this moment, a loud roar came from the horizon, echoing among the mountains, instantly drowning out all the noise.

"roar--"

The orcs and dwarves on the battlefield all raised their heads and saw a huge golden dragon with shiny scales appearing on the horizon.

The beast flapped its wings in a unique wave motion, almost as if it was swimming through the air, and fire surged from its massive maw.

Accompanied by a crackling sound, gorgeous, blazing fire spurted out, tearing apart the hazy sky.

Is that a golden dragon?

Looking at the sinuous golden beast, Ed suddenly looked pleasantly surprised, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes. (End of chapter)
