Chapter 118 Dulin’s light disappears

Not everyone in Middle-earth can have a nickname. In fact, nicknames are very rare.

You can't give yourself a nickname casually, and then ask others to admit that it is a serious matter, such as traveler or wizard. These are not nicknames, they are just professions and will not be placed after the name as a surname.

Townsend Traveler?

No one would call it that.

But Oak Shield, or Mithril Hammer, will become a nickname that will follow a person throughout his life. When the deeds here spread, when others hear Salin's name, they will know that this person is Salin Mithril Hammer.

With a giant hammer, she forced a formation of more than twenty dwarves to pierce through an army of thousands of Orcs, Spiders, Wargs and Trolls. She fought from noon to dusk, killing the enemy.

Countless, covered in blood, never retreating.

There is no doubt that she is the hero of the Durin dwarves.

Even humans or elves have to recognize her deeds. She can meet any king directly and even receive courtesy. This is fame. Like blood, it occupies an extremely important social position in Middle-earth.

"Hey, I like this nickname." Shalin rubbed the mithril hammer that was stained with blood. Her face was covered by the visor, but Tang Sen could completely feel her happiness.

"It's a pity that this mithril hammer doesn't belong to me yet."

"It belongs to you now." Tang Sen said directly.

"Really?" Shalin almost jumped.

"You deserve all this, and starting from tomorrow, the situation may become different." Tang Sen didn't say anything more, just said: "Now is not the time for small talk, the sun is going to set soon, we have to climb up

."

In fact, the Oaks have never stopped attacking. Although most of them are exhausted, they do not have the curse of immortality, but the command from the depths of their souls prevents them from stopping.

The stairs up the mountain were too narrow, only shoulder-width apart, so the formation could not continue. Thorin walked at the front, leaving Tang Sen in the middle, while Shalin stayed at the end to resist the Orcs until the last dwarf.

After reaching the stairs, she climbed up.

The huge mithril hammer could not be deployed on the stairs, so she could only hold the hammer pole horizontally and rely on the mithril armor to bear the attacks of the Orcs who surged up the stairs.

And those giant spiders finally had a stage to perform. They spun silk, shuttled and crawled on the giant sculptures, and even laid webs after webs in front of the stairs, trying to stop the progress of the team.

Thorin chopped the spider silk without saying a word. He had to show his strength to maintain the position that was almost taken away by Sarin.

"Traveller, beware!"

At this moment, Sharda, who was guarding Tang Sen, exclaimed. He saw a black shadow covering the sunset, and the three ferocious beasts rushed over again. This time, Tang Sen was no longer surrounded by the dwarves.

There were only two dwarves in front and behind him who could stop the ferocious beast, but they still let a ferocious beast get close to him.

The beast's sharp claws clawed directly at Tang Sen.

Tang Sen's heart beat faster, but he still made the right decision. He pressed against the rock wall next to the stairs, then squatted down, huddled up, and pointed the spiked side of the armor at the ferocious beast.

The ferocious beast grabbed Tang Sen without any doubt. The huge impact caused Tang Sen's back to hit the rock wall hard, followed by a scream that almost made people's eardrums tear. Those claws had nowhere to go.

He tried hard, but then retreated due to the stab wounds caused by the sharp thorns.

"Ouch! That must have hurt!"

Sharda was surprised and then overjoyed, and breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Tang Sen would be captured at the last moment, and all the efforts of the dwarves would be in vain.

"Fortunately, the traveler had the foresight to change into such a strange armor."

Tang Sen was not in such a good mood to joke. He looked at the horizon and saw more small black dots flying over.

"More ferocious beasts are flying over! We have to speed up, it's too dangerous on the stairs!"

Not every time you have such good luck in escaping from the ferocious beasts, the purpose of the spiked armor is to catch you off guard. If the ferocious beasts want to capture you regardless of your injuries, then the spikes are meaningless.

Obviously, the ferocious beasts are not incapable of doing this.

"Speed ​​up!" The dwarves also realized this and shouted towards the front.

But the speed did not increase. Although Thorin tried his best, the spiders caused many obstacles, which made the dwarves become anxious.

There is a comparison in everything, and the dwarves will unconsciously think that if the Mithril Hammer is opening the way ahead, it will definitely do a better job than the Oak Shield, right?

It's useless to be anxious, the team is still climbing up at a slow speed, and those ferocious beasts are already flying close.

Five, no, six ferocious beasts, plus the three that were already there, this is almost the majority of the ferocious beasts in Mordor. They flew all the way from Mordor just to bring back the Supreme Lord of the Rings.

This is their best chance.

Multiple shrill screams sounded, and the ferocious beasts attacked overwhelmingly.

"I can't stop it!" Sharda's face turned pale under his mask. He really didn't have the confidence to protect Tang Sen under the attacks of so many ferocious beasts.

Tang Sen also felt a chill in his heart. He had made all the preparations he could, but the timing of these ferocious beasts' attack was too coincidental, and they happened to be stuck at the point where everyone was landing on the stairs.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of whooshing through the air, and the beast that had almost touched Tang Sen tilted its neck and hit the rock wall directly.

An arrow penetrated the side of its neck.

"It's an elf!"

A dwarf shouted excitedly, and Tang Sen looked down in shock. Outside the dense group of Oaks, a group of elves wearing golden armor and red cloaks were bending their bows and aiming at the rocks on the rock wall.

The beasts shoot.

While the dwarves were fighting, they were not idle and kept trying to lure the Oaks away. However, the Oaks' target was Tangson after all, and most of the dark army was attracted back by the dwarves.

But the elves did not take the opportunity to escape, but followed the Oaks to come to the rescue.

The elves' precise arrows effectively alleviated the precarious situation, but the beasts did not want to give up. These dark creatures were not without intelligence. They could see that they would never let the dwarf team successfully get out of the stairs.

So, they braved the rain of arrows and launched another attack.

"The road ahead is clear!" Thorin yelled in front of him. He finally took the last step of the stairs and came to the wide platform on the edge of the cliff.

The dwarves at the rear quickly followed up, but Tang Sen, who was in the center of the team, was obviously too late, and those ferocious beasts were right in front of him.

The dwarves even threw their weapons in an attempt to hinder the beast's attack. This was indeed effective, but it did not stop them for long, and was eventually attacked by a beast in front of Tang Sen.

Tang Sen gritted his teeth and forced himself to calm down. He kept recalling the swordsmanship that Tom had given him in the previous world. The moment the vicious beast approached, the rapier in his hand stabbed the beast's neck fiercely.

The sword blade collided with the thick skin of the ferocious beast. Tang Sen only felt his hand shake, and the force unconsciously bent it.

Miso——

The sword blade scraped across the beast's neck, leaving a bloody wound, but not fatal.

"Oops!"

Tang Sen didn't have time to think more. A pair of sharp claws had already grabbed Tang Sen. The spikes on the armor penetrated deeply into the claws. The beast let out a miserable cry, but did not let go of Tang Sen.

He spread his wings and prepared to take Tang Sen off the stairs.

At this time, everyone was already close to a hundred meters away from the ground, and all the dwarves felt chilled when they saw this scene.

"No!" Thorin roared. He could foresee that the dwarves' journey would come to an end. They would completely fail at the gate of Erebor. The dwarf king, the lord under the mountain, and Erebor's huge wealth would all be lost.

I have nothing to do with him anymore.

So he threw the ax in his hand, but in his anger, the ax fell against the beast's body.

Then, he watched as the traveler's feet left the stairs and was about to be carried into the air by the vicious beast.

For a moment, despair enveloped the dwarves.

At this moment, a silver-white figure suddenly jumped out from the stairs. She almost crossed a distance of nearly five meters, accurately hugged the beast's neck, and hung on its body.

That was Sha Lin, the female dwarf who always had her feet on the earth. She put down her mithril hammer and threw herself into the sky with a gesture of risking her own life.

The iron fist hit the beast's wound hard, and the beast made a whimpering sound. It shook its neck crazily and tried to throw the unexpected guest off, but Sarin held it tightly and even turned over.

Above the ferocious beast.

"Sarin!"

The dwarves shouted loudly, but they could no longer reach the ferocious beast flying in the sky.

The last rays of the setting sun were about to disappear, and they watched as the ferocious beast, driven mad by the pain, spread its wings and flew upwards.

"We have to find a way to save them!" Sharda yelled: "Thorin, think of a way!"

"No! We have no time!" Thorin ignored him, but quickly searched on the rock wall: "They are hopeless. The only thing we can do now is to find the door to enter Erebor."

"The last light of Durin's Day will shine on the keyhole!"

He muttered like a madman: "Where is it? The sunset will disappear soon. Where is the keyhole?"

"Thorin!" Salda shouted angrily: "Thorin has been captured! The traveler has also been captured! Now is not the time to do such a thing!"

"We have to find something we can throw and smash that thing down. They are immortal and will definitely not be thrown to death!"

"Shut up!" Thorin turned his head sharply, and the tone transmitted through his mask made all the dwarves tremble: "There is no time to waste!"

"Are they more important than the wealth of Erebor!"

"Come quickly and find the keyhole. We have come such a long way just for this moment. We must not fail because of these stupid little things!"

The dwarves remained motionless, looking at their king in disbelief.

And the sunset finally sets completely.
Chapter completed!
