Chapter 115 Worm Attack
On the battlefield of Gushan.
The elven and dwarven armies, being ancient rivals for thousands of years, were very familiar with each other's fighting styles and cooperated seamlessly.
The dwarves repelled the first wave of Orc attacks, and the elven soldiers quickly filled in, with both sides cooperating and taking turns to defend.
Beorn, who harbored a deep-seated hatred for the Orks, charged directly into the Ork's ranks in the form of a giant bear, engaging in a frenzied battle.
The giant bear's thick fur and powerful defense allowed it to ignore the Orks' weapons, and wherever it went, Orks were smashed and killed.
The most eye-catching of all is the dragon Smaug.
Although the dragon was temporarily unable to fly, its destructive power was still terrifying. With a gentle sweep of its tail, which was as hard as a battering ram, it was like the scythe of death, reaping the lives of a large number of orcs around it.
Even more terrifying is the dragon's flames, whose scorching heat can melt even the hardest steel, let alone the flesh and blood of the Orks.
Wherever the dragon's flames reached, Orcs turned to ash, and the earth became scorched earth.
All the Orks dared not face the dragon and fled in terror, which led to chaos in the Ork army.
The dragon Smaug seemed to be venting all the pent-up frustration of the past few days, unleashing a frenzied fire-breathing attack.
They used the Octopus as a tool for venting their frustrations.
Meanwhile, Dui was battling giant bats in the sky.
The number of giant bats is in the hundreds. They blot out the sun, mainly to block out the sun so that the Orc army below can move around during the day.
Dark creatures are naturally at odds with the sun; orcs feel discomfort and pain when exposed to sunlight, while trolls are instantly petrified.
Therefore, Sauron specifically bred giant bats to compensate for the Dark Army's weakness during the day.
The giant bats are so large that they can easily grab an adult. If there are only dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of them, Dui is confident that he can handle them with ease.
But facing hundreds of bats, Dui simply couldn't kill them all.
He could only cast a magical barrier on himself to block the giant bats that attacked from all directions.
Thousands upon thousands of bats densely surrounded Dui, making the area completely impenetrable and obscuring even a sliver of light.
What's more troublesome is that the bats also know how to attack with sound, emitting ultrasonic waves together.
The ultrasonic waves emitted by a single bat are not very powerful, but when thousands of bats gather together, their power becomes terrifying!
Fortunately, when he sensed something was wrong, Dui immediately cast a soundproof spell.
Otherwise, we'd really be in for a serious fall.
"Hmph, you think your voices are so powerful? Today I'll let you taste the sound of mandrake!"
Dui took out the mandrake from his spatial bag, plucked it out of the pot, and stretched it outside the soundproofing spell.
The mandrake was suddenly awakened from its slumber. Filled with resentment and looking aggrieved, it immediately opened its mouth and let out a deadly, piercing cry.
"Loud and loud!" Dui added a sound amplification spell to it.
Instantly, a loud and piercing cry rang out from high above.
Like ordinary bats, giant bats have extremely sensitive hearing, and even rely on hearing to determine their location and obstacles.
The cries of the mandrake are even more deadly to them.
Wherever the cries of the mandrake reached, the giant bats in the sky seemed to be frozen in place, their bodies instantly stiffening before they rapidly plummeted to the ground.
A large number of giant bats fell, even tearing a hole in the sky to let the sun's rays shine onto the ground.
Upon being irradiated, the Oc immediately lost its fighting ability and let out a painful howl.
The troll was instantly petrified into a giant statue.
Countless giant bats fell, like a barrage of cannonballs, crushing and injuring the Oc on the ground.
Dui simply took the mandrake as a weapon and chased after the area where the giant bats were densely packed.
Huge swarms of giant bats fell continuously, tearing through the dark sky and causing secondary damage to the Orks on the ground.
"Take out the Mogul Arrow and shoot him dead! Kill that wizard in the sky!" (in black)
"Borg roared in terror and rage!"
At the command of the Orc messenger, rows of giant crossbows were set up on the hilltop.
These arrows were engraved with dark incantations and exuded an aura of dark magic.
They waited until Dui appeared before taking out the weapon, which was clearly prepared specifically to deal with him.
"put!"
Mogul's arrows rained down on Dui in the sky, giving him absolutely no room to dodge.
Seeing the arrows coming at him, Dui frowned and quickly rushed to higher ground to avoid them.
These Mogul arrows possess anti-magic power, and ordinary protective spells cannot stop them.
These Orks really went to great lengths to deal with him, firing so many Mogul Arrows at once as if they were free.
Seeing the threat of Mogul's Arrow, Dui was temporarily unable to approach the Orc Command Camp.
They immediately changed direction and flew straight to the location of the dragon Smaug.
Smaug was currently frolicking and spewing fire everywhere, and when he saw Dui appear, he instinctively wanted to breathe fire as well.
But upon realizing what was happening, he immediately shut his mouth in terror, only thick black smoke billowing from his nostrils, choking him.
The scene looks somewhat comical.
"Master, what are your orders?" Smaug asked somewhat nervously and obsequiously.
Dui didn't pay attention to his earlier actions, landed on his back, and pointed to the command camp of Oak on the distant hilltop.
"Borg is hiding there. Destroy him with your dragonfire."
"Your will is my direction!"
"Smaug said, and then led Dui on a rampage toward the distant mountain.
Smaug's scales are incredibly strong, and even Mogul's arrows cannot harm him.
With Smaug as the toughest human shield, Dui didn't need to do anything; Mogul's arrows couldn't reach him, and he quickly approached the location where Polgar was hiding.
"Sir, that dragon is charging at us!" (in black language)
"Occo the Herald cried out in alarm."
The surrounding Oc was also thrown into a panic.
If not for being intimidated by Borg's imposing presence, they would probably have already fled in panic.
A flicker of panic and fear flashed in Polger's eyes, then his expression hardened.
"Attack the dragon with earthworms! (Slang)"
"Once the dragon is dragged underground, it will pose no threat whatsoever!" (Slang)
Dui rode his dragon, sweeping and crushing everything in his path, turning all the Orks in his way into a pile of mud.
Just as they were getting close to where Polge was.
The ground suddenly shook, and then a worm suddenly emerged from the ground, its sharp, dense fangs biting into one of Smaug's legs, trying to drag him into the ground.
Smaug, in pain, bit down on the worm's head and tried to pull it out of the ground.
But the worm seemed to be rooted deep underground. No matter how hard Smaug tried to tear and drag it, the worm could not be pulled out. It still held onto Smaug's leg tightly, trying to drag him into the underground tunnel he had dug out.
"Heart-piercing!" Upon seeing this, Dui on the dragon's back launched an attack directly at the earthworm.
The earthworm was instantly in pain, its massive body writhing and emitting a low hiss.
Taking advantage of the moment, the dragon Smaug pulled back forcefully, and a worm about 100 meters long and 75 meters wide appeared intact on the ground.
The earthworm looks quite unique and terrifying. Its body is cylindrical and covered with a rough and hard shell. Its overall color is a dark brown, similar to the color of soil.
Its head is huge and flat, without eyes, only a round, sharp mouthpart. These mouthparts are closely arranged like serrations, which can easily crush rocks and soil and dig tunnels.
The worm, pulled out and exposed to the air, looked very agitated and tried to burrow back into the ground.
Smaug the dragon was very unhappy with the insect that had ambushed him, and naturally he would not allow it to have the chance to escape back underground.
He immediately unleashed scorching dragon flames at the earthworm, roasting the giant worm alive.
The earthworm emitted a low, painful wail, its body twisting and turning as it tried to extinguish the dragon's flames.
The ground trembled violently from the enormous commotion, and countless Orcs were also affected.
But how could dragon flames be extinguished so easily?
Soon, an unpleasant meaty smell wafted out.
"Smaug, don't be careless, there are definitely more earthworms underground!" Dui warned solemnly from the dragon's back.
He remembered that there was more than one earthworm that had dug a tunnel directly through the ground.
Sure enough, before long, two earthworms of the same size suddenly emerged from the ground.
Smaug reacted swiftly, dodging a worm that was biting his neck, and spewed a burst of scorching flames at it.
The worm, in pain, quickly retreated back into the ground.
But another earthworm bit Smaug's tail and forcefully pulled it into the underground tunnel.
"Avada Kedavra!" Dui unleashed a killing spell, striking the earthworm. The earthworm instantly froze, releasing Smaug's tail, and lay lifeless on the spot.
Dui was delighted.
This was the first time he had successfully killed someone with the Killing Curse; it was truly remarkable!
The third time is the limit. The first two attempts to kill with the Killing Curse failed, which made him lose much confidence in the Killing Curse.
Now, they've finally achieved their first kill.
After dealing with two ground worms, the remaining one seemed frightened and did not emerge from the ground to attack again.
But Dui did not dare to be careless.
Worms are kings underground. If Smaug were dragged underground, the outcome would be uncertain.
The ground shook again the next second.
Just when Dui thought the earthworms were about to launch a sneak attack, things turned out differently than he expected.
The ground worm's target was actually the two dead ground worms. It quickly dragged the two ground worms into the ground, leaving only two bottomless huge holes, and then it was completely silent.
Seeing this, Dui and Smaug ignored it and continued their advance towards Borg.
The defeat of the earthworms greatly dampened the morale of the Orc army, and all the Orcs who saw the dragon Smaug and Dui scattered and fled.
"Lord Borg, even the earthworms can't stop the dragon and that wizard. We're no match for them! Let's retreat!" (in black language)
"The Ocherd said in terror, his eyes filled with fear."
Polger's already ugly face grew even uglier as he smashed the messenger's head with the mace in his hand.
Then, taking a deep breath, he commanded:
"Retreat into the tunnel!"
