Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1074 1056. Attack!

Lan En watched with interest the arrows that shattered before his eyes and bounced away.

Although this hand shooting skill is still not as good as Elrond's initial glimpse, there is no doubt that it is a miraculous skill.

 At least ordinary humans would not be able to use it in an emergency situation in their lifetime.

 So the shooter is indeed not a human being.

 There was a crashing sound in the tall trees.

Many vigorous and light figures suddenly appeared from various places.

 They have long, silky hair, with pointed ears peeking out from under their long hair.

Lan En, who was sitting on the horse, looked around. It was similar to the scene when he met the tree spirits in Broklon Forest.

Even those young saplings that should not be able to hide people according to their thickness, inexplicably emerged from behind a living elf.

This is indeed consistent with what Radagast said when he introduced this forest: this is a forest mixed with many magics.

 The magic of the elves, the magic of the woods themselves, the sorcery of Dol Guldur

 Leading the group were two elves, a man and a woman. The man had light golden hair and his face was handsome even among the elves. The woman has red hair. Among them, men are obviously dominant.

 “It’s a very good horse.”

While many elves were drawing their bows and aiming arrows at strangers, a male elf with light blond hair walked over with a bow and said.

 His face had an expression of admiration and "good luck".

 “You are also an extremely good archer.”

 Lan En bowed slightly gracefully on the horse.

The male elf nodded. He seemed to appreciate how Lan En remained calm and composed despite so many elven archers pointing at him.

But it's hard to say how much it has to do with Lan En's face being more beautiful than most elves.

“I didn’t intend to hurt this horse. It was an accident.”

 The male elf explained, Lan En nodded.

"I can see it. The trajectory of your arrow clearly shows your intention."

“Oh?” When talking about this, the male elf narrowed his eyes slightly and raised his brows. Most of his previous friendliness was gone.

 The handsome face looked sharp.

"You mean you can see through my arrow clearly? Is that what you mean?"

"Legolas." The red-haired female elf behind patted the male elf's arm and reminded him in a low voice, "This man is very unusual. Don't get too close."

Legolas tilted his head and looked.

Flannel Ball was standing on the saddle on Lan En's back, with a serious look on his face.

And the blue-purple crystal-like horn of the unicorn was dangling in front of Legolas.

  “As a traveler, it is very unusual.”

 He paused and spoke in a routine manner.

“Please tell me why you broke into the Woodland Kingdom? Who are you and what is your purpose?”

 “I didn’t want to, nor did I know that I had broken into the woodland kingdom, this elf master.”

Lann soothed the unicorn's mane, making it relax.

“I just wanted to go to Lake Town to find a group of dwarf friends. I fell behind a little during the journey. I was just passing by.”

 “A group of dwarves?” Legolas chewed on these words and called the red-haired female elf behind him. "Tauriel."

 The two elves came together and whispered something in Elvish.

Lan En sat on the horse and looked left and right, as if he didn't understand.

But on his retinas, Mentos was playing the dialogue in subtitles.

Legolas asked in a low voice: "Dwarves? Are there any dwarves passing through our territory?"

"I don't know." The female elf frowned and said, "The patrol doesn't know either. If this is true, then someone must have led this group of dwarves through the dark forest. An extraordinary and fearless person Magical people in the forest.”

 “A wizard, or holding some kind of treasure.” Legolas asserted. "But that can be put aside for now. A group of dwarves. This may explain why there are so many orcs in our territory suddenly."

“The orcs hate the dwarves as much as the dwarves hate the orcs. They both want each other to die without a burial place, no matter how painful the price is.”

 “These orcs who boldly wander into our territory are killers chasing the dwarves!”

"Now these evil creatures are getting bolder and bolder." Tauriel said to Legolas worriedly.

“The descendants of Ugoliant, those giant spiders dared to wreak havoc all the way from Dol Guldur into our land, and now even the orcs have come to wreak havoc.”

“If you continue to leave the source unchecked, something big will happen sooner or later!”

Legolas also had worry on his face, but facing Tauriel's earnest gaze, he just tilted his head away and sighed.

　　"These matters ultimately depend on the father's decision. It's useless what you and I say."

Tauriel also fell silent.

Lan En listened unintentionally from the side. It seemed that the Elf King of the Woodland Kingdom was a conservative person.

 In the current situation, the threat from outside flowing into the kingdom is increasing day by day, but his strategy seems to be limited to domestic settlement.

 Without any intention to solve the fundamental problem outwardly.

"That strange human being" What else did the two elves want to discuss, but at this moment, Lan En's face suddenly turned to one side.

 There was a sharp friction sound, and the witcher's hands clenched into fists and stopped in front of his face.

The sound and movement suddenly turned the attention of Legolas and Tauriel to Lan. They both subconsciously held their longbows in a posture ready for battle.

The elves around him who had been pointing their bows at the witcher suddenly looked more dangerous.

It seemed like the arrow would be detached from the bowstring in the next moment, flying and piercing the target.

Lan En paid no attention to these dangerous looks and alert attitude.

“Is this also your arrow?”

In the center of the witcher's fist, a dark arrow with a twisted and rough arrowhead was being held in his hand!

Legolas reacted almost instantly. Without thinking, almost like a muscle reaction, he immediately judged the direction of the arrow.

 And followed the trajectory and returned an arrow.

 The elf's movements are smooth and flowing. Watching him shoot arrows is like watching dance and art.

Legolas didn't even have time to directly see the origin and trajectory of the arrow, but just by Lan En's interception action, the arrow released from his bowstring went all the way through the branches and leaves of the trees. .

With a ‘whoosh’ sound, he disappeared into the woods.

 Followed by "Ouch~poof!"

It was originally supposed to be a ferocious roar, but because the arrow penetrated the flesh, it relaxed at the end and turned into a dull dry cough.

The muffled sound of flesh hitting the forest humus came only a step later.

 “Enemy attack!” Tauriel, the red-haired female elf, shouted. "It's an orc's arrow!"

Legolas' arrow that returned along the trajectory only delayed the enemy's advance attack. Finally, an unpleasant roar came from the forest.

 “Kill them! Kill them all!”

It was an orc with a deformed sarcoma on his mouth. The sarcoma made his voice unpleasant and sharp.

 “Kill them all! Ugh!”

An orc arrow that had been shot out just now and then caught with his bare hands was simply accelerated by the projector, thrust into his ugly mouth, and protruded from the back of his head.

 “Temporary cooperation?”

Lan En, who had just put down his left hand, tilted his head towards the two elves below.

 “As you wish, stranger.” Legolas responded while shooting an arrow. His shooting speed was beyond the reach of normal people. "You'd better not let the elves save you anyway!"

 “Is this advice?” Lan En nodded seriously. "I remember."

In the distant forest, a large number of orcs with gray skin and dirty bodies, with simple armors spliced ​​with iron sheets hanging randomly on their bodies, and even torn animal skins and linen hanging on their bodies, came in large numbers!

"So many?" The bow in Tauriel's hand resounded, and the arrow she fired drew a huge arc, bypassing an elf and hitting the orc behind him who wanted to rush over and stab him. .

“There are at least three hundred here! Has Mirkwood turned into a sieve?!”

 “Fight first! Tauriel!”

 Legolas greeted, and all the elves began to use the terrain with great experience to fight against the orcs who had a numerical advantage.

 Their bodies are just as Elrond said, extremely light.

They can run as they please on the intricate trees mixed with dry branches, even easier than humans running on flat dirt roads.

Even the elf who just descended from the tree canopy could float up to the canopy seven or eight meters high by just running for two or three steps and then kicking on the trunk of the tree for two or three steps!

 Hands are not even used during the whole process.

Even a monkey climbing a tree seems slow and rude compared with them.

 Every elf is a master of archery, and Legolas is the master of masters.

With only a dozen of them, they completed a rain of arrows against more than 300 orcs!

There are dozens of orcs among them. However, these orcs often have no time to draw their bows and nock arrows. The elves’ experienced experience and sharp eyes have already locked onto them, and sent them to **** with accurate arrows.

Under normal circumstances, depending on the geographical location and their own strength, even if the elves cannot destroy more than 300 orcs, it is more than enough to ensure their retreat.

 But the current situation is obviously unusual.

 “Ouch!”*N

 The ferocious roars of wild beasts were heard, and the sound of fleshy claws treading the ground was menacing.

 All the elves’ expressions changed drastically at the same time!

 “Warg!”

They shouted, and behind the black mass of orcs, more than a dozen huge hungry wolves with shoulder heights even higher than the heads of ordinary orcs jumped nimbly between the woods and rocks.

Legolas observed the warg's progress and suddenly shouted as if he had thought of something!

 “Transfer! Jump away from the original tree!”

The huge mouths of wargs are enough to bite off branches as thick as a human arm in one bite. Their huge muscular bodies can shake a tree surrounded by a person with just one collision.

If it were in a dark forest, the big trees there would be extremely young, not to mention surrounded by two people. All are large trees with a diameter of more than one to two meters.

 It has no effect even if the wargs' teeth are broken or their heads are knocked unconscious.

 But this is not the Dark Forest!

This is just a small forest extending from the border of the forest!
