Journey of the Infinite Wizard

This time, the army came to the city of Angband and lasted for three years. During these three years, the coalition forces of elves and dwarves did not storm Angband Fortress under Jiang Ning's order. Facing the cliff-like fortress and the moat-like terrain. No matter how many troops there are, it is difficult to attack the city of Angband in one go. For this reason, Jiang Ning just ordered the troops under his command to harass the Angband Fortress continuously. At first, hundreds of trebuchets were constantly bombarding with stones. Gradually, three years have passed, and the original hundreds of trebuchets have long since become hundreds. The "ammunition" for the bombing is to use nearby materials, digging countless stones on the Iron Mountain Range.

Morgoth, the enemy of darkness, was in Angband every day. He couldn't eat enough, and he couldn't sleep well. He was worried and frightened all day long. I am afraid that Angband Fortress will be captured one day, in order to ensure their own safety. Morgoth continued to cultivate more orc legions, and at the same time dispersed his own power into his legion. Moreover, with the inextinguishable fire contained in himself, he recreated the dragon and the Balrog. This made his already extremely weak strength fall into a weak situation again, almost losing the power of the "god".

And Jiang Ning's goal was also achieved.

Three years of uninterrupted bombardment of the walls of Angband destroyed many sections of the walls and killed countless orcs. He even once led an elite squad to the walls of Angband. This made Morgoth extremely frightened, and after a big kill, he pretended to be invincible and retreated. It made Morgoth think that Angband was still safe, and under the premise of besieging his lair, Morgoth accelerated the consumption of his own strength. Create more orc armies and a few more powerful creatures.

For Jiang Ning himself, except for Morgoth's fatal threat to him, other threats are nothing compared to him. After all, he has Ilphas, and with Vera's blessing, it is destined that it will be difficult for anyone to besiege him. No matter how many orcs there are, in his opinion, they are not terrible. A war, a confrontation, can not only be determined by the number alone to determine the final victory. 【】There are still many factors that are considered the most.

Only the Balrog and the evil dragon can decide the outcome of a war. However, the amount of both is sufficiently small. Even Morgoth, with all his strength and desperation, could make up for the number of seven-headed Balrogs. After all, the Balrog was born of a fallen alien being seduced by Morgoth. And the evil dragon was purely created by Morgoth with black magic and other unknown reasons. Although the latter is not as good as the Balrog, the "cost" of the evil dragon is undoubtedly very "cheap" compared with the Balrog. However, just like that, Morgoth only kept the number of evil dragons at about sixteen, and divided them into fire dragons and cold dragons.

Although the number of enemies seems to have increased, the pressure has also increased; however, Jiang Ning's main purpose has also been achieved. The evil creatures created by Morgoth, except for Balrogs and dragons, half-orcs are not immortal. The elves have plenty of time to consume them. However, this method does not work. The current elves are high elves from the first era. Far taller and stronger than their descendants. In fact, when the half-orc army faced the elves, unless the number was too large for the elves to win, otherwise, whether it was a one-on-one fight or a large-scale battle at the legion level, the elves would always win.

Half-orcs are always the loser. Any elf with a little training can easily defeat half-orcs. They are tall and strong, and they are always full of various strange abilities. Whether it is strength, endurance, explosive power or physique, it is far from what their future descendants can match.

Therefore, later generations call the elves in the first era, and they will always be called high elves! This is not unreasonable, besides, many weapons cast by the high elves can be preserved for thousands of years. 【】It is as bright as new, and its sharpness has never been worn out. This is a craft that later elves do not have.

The bombing that lasted for three years was over, and the coalition forces of elves and dwarves began to withdraw slowly, and hundreds of trebuchets also slowly followed the team to leave the gate of Angband.

Standing on the high tower, Sauron heaved a sigh of relief, and then he looked back at the dilapidated Angband Fortress. The anger in my heart was extremely strong. Although the fortress was saved, the damage inside the city was extremely serious. Moreover, many high cliffs of the city walls collapsed countless times under the three-year uninterrupted bombing by trebuchets. Angband's unbreakable defense system suddenly had a loophole! They also used trebuchets to fight back, but they were blocked by Jiang Ning every time. He asked the giant eagles under the command of Thorondo, the king of eagles, to take turns to grab kerosene and boulders and destroy Angband's trebuchets and other weapons . On the back of each eagle, there are also two archers sitting, shooting and trying to prevent the eagle from approaching. However, the bow and archery skills of these half-orcs were no match for the elf archers at all, and they were easily killed. The trebuchets in Angband were damaged countless times, and the Balrog and the ungrown dragon had to be dispatched to drive away the eagle.

The siege of Angband was the happiest victory for the elves and dwarves. Although the walls of Angband were not captured, it was a rare good thing for them to be able to watch Morgoth and his evil army slump. However, the mood of Sauron and Morgoth was not like this.

Especially Morgoth, for the past three years, he has been worried all day long. He who has lost all his strength, except for his powerful physical body that is different from ordinary people, can hardly display the abilities belonging to Vera. Moreover, the Lord of the Rings in Jiang Ning's hands and the radiance of the Twin Sacred Trees contained in Kunguhar were always released by him from time to time, which dealt a very strong blow to the evil camp to which Morgoth belonged.

In addition, for the sake of his own safety, Morgoth, who lost his power, accelerated the cultivation of half-orcs and various armies. This also led to a sharp depletion of his strength. If he is trying to restore his own strength, then there is no way to restore it without a lot of cultivation.

Moreover, the inextinguishable fire inside his soul seemed to have dimmed a lot. This made Morgoth's current spirit extremely poor, and his temper became even more violent and irritable. Even Sauron, when meeting him, was cautious, for fear of offending the dark master with a violent temper!

After leaving Angband, the combined elves and dwarves returned to the west. The Noldor continued to maintain their defenses, and the Dwarves also helped them to forge weapons and armor. This three-year alliance has improved the relationship between elves and dwarves, two different races, by more than half.

However, it wasn't them who improved their relationship.

In Dorias, Jiang Ning and the Eswell elf cavalry he brought also repaired in Dorias. This time, an army of more than 20,000 people was integrated, which not only dealt a severe blow to Morgoth's arrogance, but also lifted the suffocation that the elves and dwarves had been holding back for a long time. Let them have this opportunity to feel proud.

More importantly, Morgoth's power was consumed in advance. After all, for Jiang Ning, Morgoth was the only one who could pose a threat to him. As for Sauron, he hasn't paid enough attention to it yet, although in Angband, Jiang Ning felt the faintly stronger power of Sauron.

At that time, he had guessed that Morgoth should instill his power into Sauron's body. However, even so, he just paid attention to it, Sauron hadn't fully grown to the point where Morgoth was. His strength has yet to pose a serious threat to him. After all, the treasures in his hands can completely restrain all dark forces, the endless brilliance and vitality of the Two Sacred Trees plus the canonization of Manwe. The power contained in the Silmarillion is already extraordinary.

Although this time, they failed to capture Angband, which made the elves including Elu Thingol feel sorry. However, they also understood that if they wanted to capture the huge and majestic castle of Angband, it would definitely not be possible for the more than 20,000 troops in front of them to capture it. Moreover, they have no way of knowing how many troops are hidden in Angband. Although they knew that there were many half-orcs, they didn't know how many there were. In addition, the majestic and steep Iron Mountains are doomed to capture the Angband Fortress, and it is bound to pay a very painful price. Moreover, this final result may not necessarily be the same as what they thought in their hearts.

However, this time the action was not completely fruitless. At least, the practicality of Angband's encirclement is fully guaranteed. In fact, during the siege of Angband this time, Morgoth was too frightened to appear at all. Together with his army, they stood on the walls of various places, and did not take the initiative to attack at all.

Maybe it's because he is afraid of the Silmaril in Jiang Ning's hands, maybe his army is not yet fully mature, or maybe he's not ready yet, or maybe he's brewing a new conspiracy. In short, there are many possibilities, but the second possibility is the highest. His army has not yet fully matured, especially the evil dragon army he has given high hopes for. The scale armor has not yet fully matured, and it cannot be compared with the mature invulnerability. Moreover, Jiang Ning's act of shooting and killing the three-headed dragon made Morgoth dare not act rashly.

Therefore, out of various considerations, Morgoth chose to continue to besiege Angband.

At this time, when there were many undercurrents and turbulent tides, a new ethnic group had quietly entered the western land. The second son of Iluvatar, humans have arrived in the west. .
