Journey of the Infinite Wizard

Chapter 504: Soldiers Arrive at Angband

The almost endless Inglin Mountains (Iron Mountains) surrounded the solid Angban Fortress on three sides. The tall and continuous Iron Mountains were steep and towering, and there were almost no places for people to climb. On top of it stood the solid and majestic fortress building of Angband. From a distance, it seemed that the entire endless mountain range had already been integrated with the fortress.

Moreover, the majestic gate of Angband almost blends with the mountains on both sides. This shape alone is doomed to capture the Angband Fortress no matter how much manpower is required. Therefore, Jiang Ning just led the army to Angband to have a look, and set out in Angband City, and all kinds of siege weapons were pushed over. Afterwards, the trebuchet bombarded the Angband Fortress violently!

The army that came to Angband this time totaled more than 20,000 people. There were more than 2,000 cavalry from the Jiangning headquarters, 3,000 cavalry from Elu Singol, 1,000 cavalry from Cirdan, and about 8,000 troops from the sons of Ferno and Fingolfin. In addition, the dwarves, allies of the elves, also brought an army of nearly 8,000 men.

Although the army of more than 20,000 people could not break through Angband. However, Jiang Ning's purpose this time was not to capture Angban. He wanted to test with his own eyes how strong the defense of Angband's fortress was, and he also wanted to see how confident Morgoth was. Then, he can make some deployments according to the specific situation.

The arrival of the allied elves again frightened Morgoth who was hiding in the Angband fortress. He hastily called Sauron to inquire about his detailed situation, and at the same time thoroughly inquired about the army he was cultivating.

Sauron said: "Don't worry, my king, Angband Fortress is extremely strong, and the allied elves have no chance of capturing Angband Fortress. Please rest assured, my king."

"I heard that the elf coalition this time is led by that damned elf, Yinenville." Morgoth said through gritted teeth, and subconsciously touched his shoulder. There was a sword wound there, which I didn't usually feel, but this time I was touching it. But I felt a burst of hot burning sensation.

"Yes, my king." Sauron continued, "Although the allied army of the elves is Yiningville, his army is not sufficient. With the allied army of elves and dwarves, there is no way to capture Angband Fortress."

At this moment, a series of uninterrupted muffled and shaking sounds sounded, and Morgoth, who was sitting firmly on the throne, also felt that the throne under his buttocks seemed to be shaking slightly. And above the top of his head, dust was constantly falling down. Morgoth turned pale with fright, and he rebuked Sauron angrily, "This is the strong fortress you said, the stronghold of Angband that cannot be captured?" He was furious, startled and frightened, "What is going on? The Elves are attacking us, and they are throwing stones upon the walls of Angband's stronghold, and they are attacking here."

Sauron was also a little confused, and he immediately said: "Please be safe, my king, and I will go out to check." After finishing speaking, he left the hall with Morgoth's impatient wave and walked to Angband's watchtower. Observe from the tower. Then,

He saw densely packed, coalition forces of elves and dwarves, almost endless, densely packed, black and densely packed with human heads. Moreover, he was still in the army formation and saw hundreds of trebuchets continuously throwing huge stones towards the city wall of Angband. And those dwarf and elf craftsmen are still making and transporting trebuchets and countless stones. Sauron's eyes were slightly condensed. He didn't understand the elves' intentions. He really thought that the elves and dwarves joined forces to capture Angband Fortress in one fell swoop. Moreover, he also saw the figure that made him grit his teeth with hatred, the figure that brought him endless humiliation, Yiningville.

The trebuchets bombarded the Angband fortress continuously in turn. A densely packed army of more than 20,000 people lined up in a neat phalanx team, arrayed outside the safe zone, watching their own trebuchets continuously bombard Angband Ban Fortress. The blood in his heart surged, and he wished he could set up a ladder and attack the Angband Fort right now.

And a group of elf princes and dwarf lords gathered around Jiang Ning, looking at the Angband Fortress that was constantly being bombed by catapults. They chattered around Jiang Ning, wanting him to order an attack on Angband Fortress. However, Jiang Ning ignored them, sitting on Ilfas's back, looking calmly at the Angband Fortress in front of him.

"Yiningville, should we take advantage of Angband's attack and take the lead in attacking the city?" The one who said this was naturally Fingolfin, who had a hatred for killing his father and brother against Morgoth. The blood in his heart was already welling up at this moment, although they didn't use up all their troops this time. However, an army of more than 20,000 people is also an epic army. What's more, with the continuous bombing of hundreds of trebuchets, coupled with the intensive production of siege weapons by the dwarves and elf craftsmen in the rear, this posture, no matter how you look at it, is an attitude of wanting to capture Angband. Therefore the sentiments of the Noldor were most fervent.

Fingolfin's words naturally represented the attitude of all the Noldor. These elven princes and nobles looked eagerly at the only elder in their hearts!

This original elf, the elder who led the elves forward long after the ancestors of the elves awakened from Naquivier can. Also, one of the leaders of the Elves when they moved westward to Valinor. Not to mention, the elder in front of him is so powerful, and he is also the first legendary elf to create the Silmarillion. Thinking of the Silmarillion, they looked into the weapon slots on Ilphas's armor. There, there is an elegant sword-Kunguhar! The Elf Silmarillion inlaid on it shines with nebula-like brilliance from time to time.

"It's not yet time!" Jiang Ning ignored everyone's desire to fight, and looked at the Angband Fortress calmly. The Angband Fortress built by Morgoth stands on a high cliff, a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Surrounded by towering mountains on three sides and backed by the sea, it is also a cliff. There is only the position of the gate, and there is only one road built on a steep cliff, but this road is too narrow. It is impossible for the army to spread out completely.

With such a steep terrain, it is doomed that any army that wants to attack here must face a terrain that can choose to attack. And in this way, even in the city of Angband, no matter how small the army is, Morgoth can resist ten times or a hundred times the enemy's attack with a small number of troops. Because the other city walls are completely impossible to climb, they are all steep cliffs, and only a road in the middle can lead to the gate of Angband. However, on both sides of the avenue, there is an endless abyss, how can this be done?

Not to mention the era of cold weapons, even the era of hot weapons, such a terrain fortress is difficult to conquer. The only way to capture this place is to fill these moats and ravines with human lives. However, Jiang Ning would naturally not consider such a method, he had his own plan in mind. The purpose is still to test. Of course, if he sees a good opportunity, he will definitely choose to take the opportunity to attack here.

It didn't take long for Jiang Ning to see rows of half-orcs standing on the crenels of the Angband Fortress, and the enemy's trebuchets also began to counterattack on the towering watchtower and high ground.

"Pay attention to concealment, be careful of boulders!"

The face of the army on the other side changed slightly, officers at all levels began to shout, and all the elves and dwarves looked at the approaching boulder with slightly changed expressions. At this time, Jiang Ning held up his right hand, and the magic ring on his index finger shone with a huge nebula-like brilliance. The next moment, the nebula suddenly turned into a barrier to block all the approaching boulders. Afterwards, Jiang Ning ordered the army to retreat to a place where the trebuchets on the Angband fortress could not attack.

"The effective range of the opponent's trebuchet is higher than I expected!" Jiang Ning muttered in his heart, and he began to observe the evil army on the Angband Fortress. The hideous faces were half-orcs. In addition, you can also see huge black spiders climbing on the mountains. However, he did not see the figures of the Balrog and the evil dragon.

He thought for a while, and then told Fingolfin and the others, "You wait for me here, and no one is allowed to attack without my order, or you will be shot to death!" After speaking, he chanted a spell, and the magic ring on his hand was trembling , Nebula-like brilliance rose up immediately. Immediately afterwards, a resounding eagle cry sounded in the sky, and a huge and mighty eagle flew rapidly from afar. The god deer Ilfas under his crotch ran immediately, and the dazzling white light on their bodies lit up, and then, Ilfas suddenly jumped in the process of running at a high speed. Thorondo, the king of the eagles, swooped down immediately, and Ilfas's four hooves immediately stood on Thorondo's back. The latter immediately flapped its wings and flew towards a high place, and then flew directly to Angband Fortress.

Seeing this, Sauron, who was standing on the tower looking out, suddenly changed his expression, and he ordered the horn player to blow the horn. Immediately, countless half-orc archers raised their bows and shot at Thorondo. However, these rainy arrows were intercepted by a nebula-shaped barrier. Afterwards, Ilphas jumped off Thorondor's back, and with his hooves wrapped in silver, shining with white light, he trampled on the wall of Angband. Kunguhar was in his hand immediately, Irphas ran and moved quickly, and Jiang Ning waved the divine sword in his hand, constantly slashing and killing the dense army of orcs. Sauron's face immediately changed, and then, inside the fortress of Angband, there were several powerful roars, and Jiang Ning's sharp elf eyes followed.

Then, he saw six Balrogs walking out one after another surrounded by raging fire, followed by more than a dozen evil dragons flying down from the mountain cliff. Leaping straight at him, he took off his strong bow, and then took out three huge arrows about 1.6 meters long from the weapon slot on the left. Kunguhar inserted into the weapon slot, grabbed three special arrows with his right hand, put them on the bow, and aimed at the three-headed dragon flying towards him. With a sharp release, the black arrow pierced into the heart of the three-headed dragon in an instant like an off-string arrow! At this time, they were not yet fully mature, and their scales were not yet fully hardened. They faced the strong bow forged by Aoli and the Kelong black arrow carefully prepared by Jiang Ning. Before the three-headed dragon could show its power to the world, it died completely, howled and fell to the sky, smashing hundreds of orcs to death.

And Jiang Ning also retreated immediately. He called Thorondo, the king of eagles, and with the help of Thorondo, he left the Angband Fortress safely!
