Chapter 167 Smaug (12)

The war started so unexpectedly.

The dwarves were clearly outnumbered, and the valley city behind them was in ruins and had no strategic location to defend.

Even the dwarves were not prepared to fight the orcs.

The orcs, on the other hand, had the advantage of numbers and the first-mover advantage that they had planned without realizing it.

In addition, Azog's command ability is outstanding, which is far better than Thorin and Dain who can only charge mindlessly.

If the dwarf soldiers' equipment and quality were not far superior to those of ordinary orcs, the dwarf army would probably be completely dispersed in the first place.

But even so, the dwarves fell into the disadvantage of being constantly consumed.

Zheng Zha killed an ogre with one sword, and then swung his sword to kill a group of orcs.

He did not put all his energy into this war. The orcs were just a minor issue. The real target had not yet appeared, so he had to save energy.

But just relying on his body and tiger soul, he alone completely defended the west side of River Valley City.

The Lonely Mountain team led by Thorin and Dain's army fought the orcs head-on on the east side.

Under the command of Azog, an army of Orcs encircled the Lonely Mountain from the rear. Once the encirclement was completed, the dwarves would be completely cut off from survival.

"Hurry, hurry!" Thorin roared, and had to lead hundreds of dwarf heavy infantry to block the hole in the rear.

He was surrounded by the dwarves of the Lonely Mountain team, and even Bilbo took up the silver sword to kill the enemy.

But Azog had anticipated the dwarves' response. Although the progress on the west side was not satisfactory, he had already mobilized the dwarves' formation and loopholes appeared in the defense line.

"hold head high"

"hold head high"

"hold head high"

As the battle flags changed and the horns sounded, the reserve Orc soldiers rushed directly to the center of the Valley City, separating the dwarves in the front and back.

This "center blooming" move completely plunged River Valley City into chaos.

There were orcs everywhere, arrows everywhere, and spears everywhere.

The dwarf's heavy infantry completely lost their formation and could only be drowned by the countless tides of orcs.

It won't be long before the dwarves are completely wiped out.

Just when Azog was already imagining using Thorin's head as a wine jug to enjoy fine wine in Lonely Mountain.

A suffocating pressure quietly descended.

A low and dull roar came from the depths of Lonely Mountain, as if it was the sound of the gates of hell slowly opening.

Everyone felt an indescribable fear rising from the bottom of their hearts.

Fear spread rapidly like a plague. Dwarves and orcs all stopped moving. Every soul could clearly feel that a terrifying beast was awakening.

Zheng Zha stopped swinging his sword and turned to look at the lonely mountain, his expression more solemn than ever before.

Thorin almost fell to his knees, leaning on Bilbo with his sword in front of him, his eyes filled with fear as he murmured, "It's Smaug! Smaug!"

The orcs were frightened by the dragon's roar and dared not attack again. The dwarves got a chance to catch their breath and the entire battlefield fell into an eerie calm.

Roar--

Suddenly, an even more terrifying and clear roar was heard.

Then the earth began to shake violently, and thunder-like rumbling sounds echoed all around.

The huge and ferocious figure of the evil dragon Smaug slowly emerged from the shadow of the Lonely Mountain.

Its huge body was like a dark cloud covering the sky, blocking the sunlight and plunging the entire battlefield into darkness in an instant.

Smaug spread his wings, which were beyond imagination, and a strong wind blew up, blowing sand and rocks, and blowing the orcs and dwarves to the ground.

The dwarves' eyes widened in horror, and the blood instantly drained from their faces.

Many of them were old dwarves who were driven out of the Lonely Mountain by Smaug. When they saw the evil dragon again more than a hundred years later, their hands holding their weapons began to tremble, and the courage in their hearts collapsed in the face of Smaug's terrifying aura.

The orcs' original arrogance was extinguished in an instant, and their ferocious faces were now filled with fear.

Smaug doesn't seem to be here to help.

It was as if he treated them like a dish, just like the Flame Demon.

Smaug's eyes, burning with rage, scanned the battlefield, and thick smoke billowed from his mouth.

It showed no mercy and attacked ruthlessly.

It opened its huge mouth and a stream of flames poured down like a torrent.

The flames instantly swept through the ranks of dwarves and orcs, and screams rang out one after another.

Many warriors were instantly engulfed by the flames, reduced to ashes. The scorching heat distorted the air, and the smell of burning filled every corner.

Smaug swung his powerful tail, lashing at the crowd like a huge whip.

Wherever it went, dwarves and orcs were swept away and smashed into rocks or trees, breaking into pieces.

With a casual swing of its sharp claws, it can grab a group of warriors and throw them into the air.

These poor lives cried out in despair in mid-air, and finally fell heavily to the ground, turning into a pool of flesh.

With a flap of its wings, dozens of dwarves and orcs were crushed into bloody foam alive.

The screams became louder and louder. The dwarves and orcs had completely collapsed and began to flee. But Smaug's attack did not stop at all. Like a ruthless destroyer, he caught up with the fleeing people and began to slaughter the ants that disturbed him.

The dwarves and orcs were powerless to fight back against it and could only wait for death in fear and despair.

In just a few tens of seconds, the damage Smaug inflicted on the dwarves and orcs far exceeded the damage the two sides had previously inflicted on each other on the battlefield.

finally come!

Smaug finally appeared.

"I'll go deal with Smaug!" Zheng Zha shook the blood off the knife and said concisely.

Kill Smaug, then kill Zhang Jie, it's that simple.

"What?! You are strong, but that dragon is a moving scourge, you are no match for it." Unexpectedly, the first person to speak was not Bilbo, but Thorin Oakenshield, who had always been at odds with him.

Zheng Zha smiled at his companions who had walked with him along the way. This was the first time he had smiled in so many days.

"Everyone, take care."

Evil dragon.

Smaug.

The root of all evil.

A descendant of Ancalagon, a former subordinate of Morgoth, and the most powerful dragon in the Third Age.

At that time, the legend about the wealth of Gushan was widely circulated and reached the ears of the evil dragon.

Without warning, the evil dragon Smaug descends upon the Lonely Mountain.

Before long, the entire kingdom was destroyed.

The nearby valley lay desolate, and Smaug entered a great hall, lying on a bed of gold.

In recent years, the evil dragon has not received any orders from the Dark Lord Sauron for a long time.

As a fallen Maia, it sensed that some profound and strange changes had taken place in the world, something more evil than darkness.

This made it very uneasy. To vent its anxiety and fear, it descended on Changhu Town a few days ago and turned it into ruins.

But the dragon never imagined that one day a group of dwarves and orcs who came from nowhere would make a lot of noise and fight at his doorstep.

This made it, which was already in a very bad mood, even more furious, and it roared that it would teach these ungrateful and lowly creatures a lesson.

The evil dragon's entire body shone like a golden iron plate, and scarlet dragon flames burst out of its mouth, forming a long dragon-like column of flames that wantonly burned those humble things.

The overwhelming momentum disrupted the airflow, and violent elements jumped in the air, their breath expanding.

From afar, it looked as if countless celestial fires had descended from the sky, bringing down upon the world God's punishment. Blood, death, and terror.

In this doomsday scene, the huge figure of the evil dragon Smaug, like a collapsing mountain, became the eternal nightmare of all dwarves and orcs.

When Azog on Eagle Ridge saw the evil dragon coming out and killing people indiscriminately, he knew that this war would never succeed.

What is wrong with this world? Why can't we work together to contribute to the Demon Lord's cause?

Why do orcs have the lowest status among the dark forces?

Azog roared towards the sky, as if he wanted to spit out all the frustration he was feeling.

"Gushan, I will come back!" He took a last look at Gushan, threw down his sword, and turned away.

He had to go back to Mordor to see what had happened to his master Sauron and why he didn't even care about the dispute with the elves.

And Smaug, standing in the center of the battlefield, was intoxicated by the madness of dominating his own destiny.

The ants crawled humbly before it, too scared to even escape, which meant that it was still the master of darkness and the abyss of fear.

As Smaug raised his noble head and enjoyed the feast.

Suddenly, a huge force hit its long neck directly.

Frightened, it let out a sharp dragon roar, but when it looked around, it found it was just an ordinary stone.

For a moment, the embarrassment of being humiliated by an ant made this dragon, like a natural disaster, furious.

It lowered its head and stared fiercely at the man who dared to attack it.

"Ants", "Evil Thieves", "Revenge"

Smaug's evil words, as if they penetrated people's hearts, echoed in Zheng Zha's mind, but he was not affected at all. He just looked at the dragon in front of him calmly.

This is a real Western dragon.

A huge dragon with dragon horns, dragon scales, and dragon wings, with a body length of about 140 meters and a wingspan of nearly 300 meters.

Not only does he have a physique that looks extremely terrifying, but he also has the status of a Maia in the world of The Lord of the Rings, and has the aura of looking down on all spirits and dominating the world.

It is enough to make ordinary people feel terrified and desperate from the genes and souls.

Of course, Zheng Zha did not feel the slightest bit of fear, as he had faced a demigod vampire prince of the same status before.

When he saw Smaug, he opened his genetic lock and completely released his instincts.

He used Tiger Soul to pry up a huge rock and smashed it directly at Smaug's neck.

Of course, the boulder was smashed to pieces under the hard dragon scales, without even a speck of dust getting on it.

However, Zheng Zha saw that when the boulder hit Smaug, a protective layer that was imperceptible to the naked eye emerged from its body surface.

Perhaps, this is what Zhuang Bosch called the fourth-level spiritual light.

Perhaps it was a similar magic or the nature of a demigod creature.

The dragon is indeed a great creature in mythology and should not be treated in an ordinary way.

Facing the ants in front of him, the angry Smaug opened his huge mouth that could swallow the sky, and billowing smoke and surging flames gushed out like a torrent.

In an instant, River Valley City turned into a sea of ​​fire, and the scorching heat seemed to be able to melt everything in the world into ashes.

The flames were like a raging beast, devouring everything around it.

Faced with such a powerful enemy, Zheng Zha's mind was filled with danger alarm bells. Relying on his extraordinary brain power and concentration, his figure shuttled lightly and agilely in the raging sea of ​​fire.

The basic lightness skills he had previously exchanged for were developed by his gene lock, and he was like a nimble flying swallow dancing in the flames.

The corners of his clothes were blown by the flames, but were blocked by the protection of the Buddha wheel on his horse.

His steps were not at all disordered, and each dodge was extremely precise.

[Although Smaug is physically strong, his agility is not high. I have the Buddha Wheel, so as long as I don't get hit by the dragon flames directly, I should be fine.]

Zheng Zha seized the opportunity and leaped high like lightning. The Tiger Soul Blade in his hand emitted a sharp cold light, and with the momentum of splitting mountains and seas, he slashed at Smaug fiercely.

However, Smaug's dragon scales, as hard as ancient iron, easily deflected this powerful blow.

Zheng Zha only felt a sharp pain in the palm of his hand, as if he was hit by a heavy hammer. The powerful recoil force almost made the Tiger Soul Sword in his hand fall out of his hand.

But the physical control of the third-level gene lock is so strong that Zheng Zha used the recoil force to flip gracefully in the air and landed on the ground as lightly as a leaf in the wind.

Seeing that Zheng Zha's attack had no effect on him, Smaug became even more arrogant and presumptuous.

It continuously spewed out raging flames from its mouth. The flames were like a surging tide, sweeping over in wave after wave, as if to completely submerge Zheng Zha in the sea of ​​fire.

Zheng Zha held the tiger soul long sword and rushed left and right in the sea of ​​fire. His body was like a lonely boat drifting in the storm, but he never capsized.

But his breathing became more and more rapid, and sweat fell like a waterfall.

The Buddha wheel can block the flames, but it cannot block the high temperature.

His physique is no longer immune to this high-temperature gas of over 100 degrees.

What was originally supposed to be a battlefield between orcs and dwarves has now given way to a man and a dragon.

Smaug was a huge man with scales like iron and flames spewing from his mouth.

Zheng Zha's body was as fast as lightning. While avoiding the flames, he swung his sword at the evil dragon.

Every time the crimson sword collides with the hard dragon scales, a deafening sound is emitted, and the energy overflows, causing the surrounding air to tremble.

"Thief", "idiot", "scum"

Smaug was still talking trash to disturb Zheng Zha, but when he saw that the dragon flame was not effective, he lashed out with his huge tail like thunder.

The attack was as fast as lightning, with a sharp whistling sound, as if it would split the valley city in two.

At the critical moment, Zheng Zha instantly fell to the ground, sticking to the ground like a snake to avoid the fatal blow.

The giant tail lashed the ground, causing the earth and rocks to fly, the ground to shake, and a bottomless pit to appear in an instant.

The impact force was like an earthquake wave, directly blowing the dwarves and orcs who had already fled far away away away away like fallen leaves.

But this attack also happened to expose its vital points. Zheng Zha keenly discovered a place on Smaug's abdomen that was not covered by scales.

He seized the opportunity and triggered the explosion. The blade light surged and struck the dragon's vital point fiercely.

boom!
An invisible layer of protection appeared to block the knife, as if it was chopping on a body of steel. After a crisp sound, a string of sparks popped out from the tiger soul and dragon scales.

Zheng Zha was stunned. Didn’t they say that as long as they could hit Smaug’s weakness, it would be right here?
Roar! ! !
Smaug roared angrily and raised his huge dragon claws to stomp hard on Zheng Zha.

Zheng Zha rolled sideways quickly and narrowly avoided the heavy blow.

He did not give up. The moment he stood up, he shot out from the ground like an arrow, intending to stab the vital point again.

But Smaug seemed to have noticed his intention, and he flapped his huge wings violently, generating a suffocatingly powerful airflow that blew Zheng Zha away.

Zheng Zha quickly adjusted his body shape in the air, flipped over and landed steadily.

As if sensing that the human before him was not as easy to deal with as he had imagined, Smaug flapped his wings and flew high, with a howling wind rising, in an attempt to break free from Zheng Zha's entanglement.

But Zheng Zha would not let it happen. He kicked his feet hard, jumped high, and grabbed Smaug's wings with his hands like iron clamps.

Smaug flapped his wings hard, trying to shake Zheng Zha off.

Zheng Zha's hands were bleeding and his muscles were tensed to the extreme. The instantaneous high G overload made him feel uncomfortable all over, but he still held on tightly without relaxing at all.

A dragon and a man flew into the sky.

Smaug was flying in the air at a high speed like a madman, rolling and twisting wildly, trying to throw Zheng Zha off.

Its wings flapped the air vigorously, creating a powerful air vortex that caused the surrounding clouds to become chaotic.

Zheng Zha's body swayed in the wind, as if he would be thrown off at any time.

But with his strong will and extraordinary sense of balance, he always held on to Smaug's wings tightly.

After a while of struggling, they soon flew over the ruins of Changhu Town.
