A torrential rain fell.
The prince stood on the city wall with a heavy heart. Under the night sky, he could see tens of thousands of Orcs in heavy steel armors, armed with spears and sharp blades, marching towards his stronghold. Although the walls of the stronghold were strong enough to withstand any attack, he still did not feel safe.
"My friend."
At that moment, another man walked to the prince's side.
"You look a little uneasy."
"Indeed."
The prince nodded and tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword.
"To be honest, I don't know if we can win this war, but no matter what, we will not surrender."
As he spoke, the prince looked at the city wall. There, the Elven army was lined up neatly. They had arrived at Helm's Deep before sunset. It was a great boost to the morale of the Rohan army stationed in Helm's Deep. They had already given up hope of receiving help from all sides. After all, Gondor was busy with its own affairs, the Elves were living in seclusion, and the Dwarves had their own problems to deal with.
It could be said that everyone was sweeping the snow in front of their own door.
Under such circumstances, the Elves were still willing to abide by the ancient covenant and send an army to fight side by side with them against the evil Orc army. This was a great relief to them.
But this was far from enough.
"What did that gentleman say?"
"He said he needed to think about it."
"Is that so … …"
Hearing the prince's answer, Eikenbrand sighed and patted the prince's shoulder.
"I know what you're thinking. If that gentleman is willing to help, with the power of his huge metal chariot, the Orcs here will not be a threat at all."
"Yeah … …"
Hearing his friend's question, the prince's expression was a little strange.
"But when I came back, I realized that we forgot one thing … …"
"Huh? What is it? "
"… … That gentleman's metal chariot … … seems to be moving very slowly … …"
"Ugh … …"
Eikenbrand's expression changed slightly. He remembered that when they left the forest together, he and the prince also praised Fangzheng's huge metal chariot. At that time, that gentleman indeed said that "this is already the fastest it can go on the ground."
At that time, they were only trotting forward on their horses …
"… Well, it seems like there's really no hope for us."
As he spoke, Eikenbrand drew out his sword. At that speed, it was uncertain if they could make it to Helm's Deep in time!
By now, the Orc Army had arrived at the bottom of the walls of Helm's Deep.
War was on the verge of breaking out.
At the same time, just as Eikenbrand and Prince Rohan expected, the Lightning crawled forward at a tortoise-like speed that did not match its name at all.
"Can't it be faster?"
Ling sat on the chair and kept fidgeting. She stared at the map on the screen and showed some dissatisfaction.
"Since we set off, we've already had lunch and dinner, played some games, and took the time to take a shower! But he's still climbing … How much longer do we have to climb? "
"It'll take at least six to seven hours."
Tio calculated the time and replied helplessly.
"Why is it so slow!"
"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, we designed it just in case. Considering the size of the Lightning and the terrain here, we have to find a relatively flat path to move forward …. "
Tita spread her hands helplessly. As she said, as a spaceship, the Lightning did not have the ability to cross the ground. The reason why it was equipped with the ground and underwater parts was just in case. Not to mention, although the Kingdom of Rohan was mostly plains, the area near Helm's Deep was basically mountainous and hilly. Under such circumstances, they had to take a detour. Otherwise, if they failed to cross the mountains, the Lightning would break in half. That would be really unfortunate.
"You can go back and take a nap."
Said Fangzheng with a smile.
"I'll call you when we're there."
"Hmm … Okay …."
The girls hesitated for a moment when they heard Fangzheng's words, but they nodded. After all, children slept early, and they were tired after such a long journey. At first, they were excited about participating in the war, but soon, the Lightning's tortoise-like speed completely extinguished the girls' enthusiasm.
As for You Li and Chiho, they had already gone to bed. They had no interest in the war at all.
"I'll go to bed first, big brother. Remember to wake me up when we get there, okay?"
"Good night, big brother Fangzheng."
"Good night, Mr. Fangzheng."
After saying their goodbyes, the girls left the command room one after another. The cabin door closed, and the lights dimmed.
"Phew …."
Looking at the closed cabin door, Fangzheng breathed a sigh of relief. He lowered his head and looked at the petite figure hidden under the table.
"Altina, they're gone."
"Huh?" (Is that so?)
Altina raised her head and stared at him. At the same time, her head was still moving back and forth slightly.
"Yeah, I didn't expect you to do something so bold. Fortunately, they didn't find out. Otherwise, I don't know what would have happened."
"Huh, huh, huh, huh … Woo!!" (Because I want the instructor's ….)
Before Altina could finish her sentence, her whole body trembled violently. Her fair neck trembled uncontrollably. After a while, she reluctantly opened her mouth and licked her lips with her tongue. Then, she let out a long sigh of satisfaction, and her eyes became blurry. Upon seeing this scene, Fangzheng smiled and extended his hand to gently caress Yaltina's tender cheeks.
"What a greedy child. But it looks like you haven't eaten your fill yet."
"Hmm …."
Upon hearing Fangzheng's question, Yaltina nodded. Then, she extended her arms, hugged Fangzheng's neck, and sat on his lap.
"Instructor … Please let me eat my fill …."
"Haha, okay then. I'll treat you to some hot milk today …."
In response to Yaltina's request, Fangzheng's hands moved down from her shoulders, then grabbed the girl's slender waist and pressed down hard.
At the next moment, along with Altina's sudden growl, a fierce battle unfolded in the silent command room.
At the same time, another equally fierce battle was going on in the Divine Helm Valley.
The Orcs roared and charged at the high wall. They set up iron siege ladders on the wall and launched round after round of attacks at the soldiers in front of them. The Elven archers stationed on the wall displayed their exquisite skills. Arrows pierced through the gaps in the Orcs' heavy armors and penetrated their eyes and throats. But that wasn't enough. Although the Elven archers had displayed their skills, the fearless Orcs continued to climb up the wall. For a moment, both sides fell into a stalemate.
"Saruman is only so-so after all!"
The prince brandished his longsword and cut down an Orc that climbed up the wall, then turned to his companions and said loudly. The battle had been in a stalemate for several hours, but the Orc army still hadn't been able to take down the wall. After all, this was a fortress of the Rohan Kingdom. If this level of attack was all they had, they could still hold on.
"Be careful, that guy must have other plans …!"
At that moment, a voice suddenly sounded not far away from the wall.
"Shoot that Orc!"
Hearing this voice, the prince turned his head and saw a Ranger standing near the city wall. The Ranger had an anxious expression on his face as he pointed downwards. Below him, an Orc that seemed to be holding a torch was desperately rushing forward. Hearing the Ranger's order, an Elf hurriedly nocked an arrow and shot it. However, the Orc had no intention of stopping. It continued to rush forward.
What the hell is going on?
Seeing this scene, the prince suddenly felt a chill in his heart. The Orc was not holding a weapon, but for some reason, he felt an extreme sense of danger and fear from the Orc!
"Shoot that Orc, quick!!"
At this moment, the Ranger's voice became more and more anxious. The prince hurriedly rushed to the edge of the city wall, raised his longbow, and aimed at the target. But before he could release an arrow, the Orc rushed into a pit under the city wall.
Then, a deafening explosion sounded from the ground. At the same time, the originally sturdy wall also burst open.
The huge impact of the explosion sent both sides flying back involuntarily. The warriors standing behind the wall were also stunned by this sudden scene. Soon, as the explosion subsided, the Orcs roared and rushed into the hole caused by the explosion. They brandished their weapons and pounced on the soldiers in front of them.
"Everyone, get ready! Stop them!!! "
Inside the wall, the soldiers of Rohan were also ready. They raised their spears and aimed at the Orcs. However, the Orcs were fearless. Facing the spears, they did not dodge at all. Instead, they rushed forward.
"… Why are they doing this?"
Watching this scene through the monitor, You Li and Qian Hu were stunned. They watched the Orcs rush to the front of the soldiers without dodging or hesitating. They let their bodies be pierced by the Orcs' spears. The soldiers did not stop moving either. Facing the Orcs' weapons, they were also fearless. They roared and rushed forward, only to be knocked to the ground.
"Aren't they afraid of death?"
Looking at the live broadcast of the battlefield in front of her, Qian Hu could not understand it at all. So many people have died, and so many more are still dying. Why don't both sides intend to stop?
"Because they believe that they're fighting for something worth sacrificing their lives for."
Fangzheng stared at the screen and replied in a low voice. At the same time, he glanced at Altina, who was lying on the chair beside him. Her eyes were closed and she had fallen into a deep sleep. He reached out his hand with a smile and stroked her hair. Under the illumination of the light, Altina's lower abdomen was slightly bulging … Hmm, probably because she ate too much.
"Is this war?"
"Yes, this is war."
Fangzheng answered Qian Hu's question decisively, then looked at Ling.
"How much time do we have?"
"Fifteen minutes to the battlefield."
"Very well. Get ready."
"Yes, big brother!"
The rain was still pouring down.
At the same time, the defenders of Helm's Deep could no longer hold on.
"We must retreat!!"
The prince grabbed the old king and shouted. The latter glanced at the fallen wall and gritted his teeth.
"Retreat immediately! Retreat to the fortress!"
"Alright, right away …."
"Rumble rumble rumble …"
However, at this moment, the ground suddenly began to tremble. In an instant, both sides stopped fighting involuntarily. No one knew what was happening. Was it an earthquake?
At that moment, the prince, who was standing on the tower, looked into the distance. His face lit up.
"Father, look over there!!"
As he shouted, the prince stretched out his hand and pointed to the rear of the Orc army. The old king raised his head and looked in the direction the prince was pointing at. Then, he saw a scene that he could not imagine.
On the hill to the right of Helm's Deep, a dark, shining metal object appeared. It had a total of eight wheels and looked like a huge siege vehicle. This strange object was quite large, almost as tall as his own fortress.
When the Orc army and the soldiers of Rohan saw the monster, they all stopped and looked at it in confusion. No one knew what it was. Could it be a new weapon of the Orcs?
However, at that moment, the strange chariot that climbed up the hill suddenly shone brightly. At the same time, a strange, cold female voice echoed throughout the battlefield.
“MCVreportingin。”
“Readyfordeployment。”
“BuildingtheSovietEmpire。”
Following the cold voice, the huge metal chariot suddenly began to change shape. The steel plates on both sides of its body slid down and turned into a wall-like building. At the same time, the entire chariot flipped up. The steel rolled, twisted, and shifted. In the blink of an eye, it had turned into a strange-looking building.
In the middle of the building was a large silver-white sphere, and below it was a pillar. Surrounding the strange sphere were four smaller spheres.
What the hell is this?
Before anyone could react, an urgent alarm sounded. At the same time, the whole building shone with a bright red light.
“Warning，lightingstormcreated。”
* Rumble! *
Thunder rumbled.
Lightning erupted from the clouds and turned into silver snakes that struck the ground.
In the blink of an eye, the entire battlefield outside the fortress was bombarded by lightning from the sky. Countless silver snakes of lightning whizzed down and turned the whole canyon silver.
