Sauron's powerful magic power had covered the sky, preventing sunlight from penetrating to prevent the Orcs and Trolls from being harmed by the sun. Therefore, the colour of the whole world seemed to be gloomy and gloomy.
However, when the Rohirrim cavalry charged forward like a tide, the riders in the conical formation at the front were covered in a layer of pale golden light, as if they had been shrouded by the sunlight that had broken through the darkness. It was as if their morale and fighting spirit were comparable to the sunlight. They were determined to break through all the cages in front of them and change the colour of the great rivers and mountains!
Seeing this indescribable power, the contestants who were following closely behind the Orc army suddenly had a bad feeling. They even had the urge to retreat. The faces of Zi and Reef turned solemn. They all looked at Sheyan, thinking that he really had the foresight to place the party's battlefield here. Sanzi asked curiously, "That's right, the Orc army isn't going to be able to defeat the Orc army.
"Brother Yan, how did you know that the enemy's cavalry was so powerful?"
Under normal circumstances, there were quite a number of contestants who were good at close combat. In the previous siege and defence of the city, close combat contestants had always been heroes who were powerless, so it was only natural for them to hold back their anger. Once they got the chance to fight King Théoden's cavalry in close combat, they would surely rush to vent their anger. But now that they had the chance to fight King Théoden's cavalry in close combat, they would surely rush to vent their anger. This was human nature, but Sheyan was able to suppress the desire in his heart and calmly shrink to the back. If there was no reason for this, they would have no choice but to believe it.
Sheyan could only shrug his shoulders with a wry smile in the face of the expectant gazes of the contestants.
"If I told you that I didn't expect King Théoden's cavalry to be so strong, you wouldn't believe me either."
"Tch …"
"Middle finger …"
"I don't believe you."
"I despise you."
Sheyan sighed helplessly in the face of the collective backlash of the contestants.
"I really don't know how strong King Théoden is. I just don't think it's necessary to put our energy and spirit into a battle of this level, because there are battles ten times more tragic waiting for us …."
"More tragic battles? When the city was breached? "Aldaris could not help but ask.
Sheyan sighed and smiled without saying a word, because he was only pushing the overall situation towards his own intentions. Whether he could really achieve the vision in his heart was still because the most crucial step had not been taken yet, so he dared not make any guarantees. It was better to do it and talk about it later than to say it out loud.
But while Party Ace was still chatting and laughing, King Theoden's cavalry had already begun to enter the trap zone. A faintly discernible green glow could be seen on the bodies of a large group of cavalry at the front. That was the magic spell 'Elegance of the Wind'. Under the effect of the magic spell, the warhorses could leap and gallop between the traps very lightly. Although there were horses that fell to the ground with long neighs from time to time, the damage was far less severe than expected.
The next attack on the Orc slaves and laborers could only be described as unstoppable!
Moreover, the defeated slaves and laborers retreated and turned back to attack the main formation of the orc army! The so-called first and second line of defense could be said to be as weak as a piece of paper in order to disrupt the battle formation that was on standby!
Only the third line of defence formed by the orc army put great pressure on King Theoden's cavalry. The orc army's offensive could be said to have been contained until now, but it was only contained. This meant that the contestants' previous plan to face the scattered and exhausted cavalry was very naive!
What they had to face now was still the ferocious charge of the organized cavalry!
If one looked down from the sky, they would see a huge torrent of cavalry charging brazenly into the sea of orcs in front of them! Logically speaking, all rivers would flow into the sea, but this torrent of cavalry was advancing with indomitable will, brazenly piercing through the sea of orcs! What kind of imposing manner was this?!
***
Sheyan sucked in a breath of cold air as soon as he passed through the trap zone. Although he had a good idea of how bad the situation would be, he never expected the Theoden cavalry to be so powerful!
When the cavalry broke through the orc slaves and laborers like a hot knife through butter, Sheyan said slowly and clearly.
"Sanzi, I think we're going to have to reveal another trump card today."
Sanzi was stunned.
"Could it be? Is it time for Kulutego to make his appearance? "
At this time, Kulutego still appeared as a mysterious masked earth mage. Although others knew that he was a creature controlled by Sanzi, they all thought that he was just a powerful earth mage who was more of a support type.
In response to Sanzi's question, Sheyan nodded decisively.
"Yes, and I suspect that even if Kulutego goes all out, we may not be able to hold them off. It's also possible that I'll have to go all out."
Zi was surprised when she heard that.
"Are these cavalry really that powerful?"
Sheyan narrowed his eyes.
"The strength of this cavalry is not beyond our expectations. It's just that ….. our men seem to have miscalculated something. Since our men can set out to intercept Aragon's group, then the other side can also send out reinforcements to intercept us!"
After hearing Sheyan's analysis, Ronnie immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.
"You mean to say... our reinforcements, the Haradrim who can control the incomparably powerful War Mammoths, are likely to arrive late?"
Sheyan nodded.
"Yes. This means that after King Theoden's powerful cavalry has dealt a devastating blow to the orc army, Haradrim's War Mammoth Corps will arrive late. At that time, King Theoden may even join forces with the defenders of Minas Tirith! The supplies in Minas Tirith are more than enough to replenish them, and the wounded and archers in King Theoden's army can also be replenished into Minas Tirith! "
While Sheyan was talking, Kulutego had already begun to display his innate ability. The ground in front of Sheyan and the others slowly bulged up, eventually forming several thick stone walls that were interlaced with each other. The stone walls were not high, only about three meters tall, but they were also more than three meters thick and about ten meters long.
The appearance of these stone walls definitely couldn't stop the surging cavalrymen like a dam. However, cavalrymen weren't armored troops after all. Horses were also intelligent creatures. Under the encouragement of their masters and their training, they could trample over their enemies without hesitation. However, they wouldn't be so foolish as to ram their bodies into stone walls in front of them.
Therefore, these crooked, seemingly messy stone walls could be like reefs in a turbulent river, allowing the tide to go around them from the left and right. At the very least, they could reduce the speed of the enemy's charge.
After Kulutego had used up all his power points, he roared in a low voice. His whole body swelled up as if he was being inflated. He quickly transformed from a tall, thin man wrapped in a brown robe into a burly monster. When the transformation stopped, he had turned into a terrifying two-headed monster more than four meters tall. His skin was dark brown, and his muscles were bulging. Every muscle on his body had a vortex-shaped battle scar on it!
A supreme majesty exuded from Kulutego's body. This was the natural oppression of a superior creature towards a inferior creature. Kulutego bent down and plunged his left hand deep into the soil, almost reaching the level of his shoulder.
This posture looked very much like a fisherman catching fish in the water. When he pulled his hand out again, the earth was shaking violently. Kulutego had pulled out a terrifying rock club from his muscular left hand. The end of the rock club was bright red, and red magma was dripping down from it from time to time!
Almost all the contestants who had not been attacked by Kulutego were looking at them. When they sensed Kulutego's powerful strength, they could not help but gasp. No one had expected Party Ace to still have such an amazing trump card hidden up their sleeves!
Some of them even became vigilant. Such a powerful prehistoric legendary creature had almost reached the peak of a Temperer in terms of combat power. The strength it could display in a siege would definitely not be inferior to that of a giant trebuchet. Yet, the leader of Party Ace was able to resist the temptation to use this card to reap greater benefits. How could they not be amazed by his shrewdness?
By now, King Théoden's cavalry had broken through the Orc army and even the contestant parties in front of them. They were charging towards them like a crazy tide. Fortunately, Sheyan had chosen a very good position. He had cleverly avoided the arrowhead of King Théoden and positioned himself on the flank, almost at the left edge of the arrowhead. From this position, the chance of encountering an elite was very small. Of course, the pressure they faced should also be the lightest.
Even so, when Sheyan stood atop the thick and heavy stone walls and witnessed the cavalry charge, he could still feel the ferocious sharpness assaulting his face. As long as the entire cavalry charge was in formation, it would give off the impression of a vast ocean; an overwhelming pressure that could blot out the sky and cover the earth! It was as if everyone who witnessed this scene would have to take the brunt of the eight thousand horsemen's charge by themselves!
However, when these cavalrymen were about 50 meters away from Kulutego, the horses suddenly reared up, neighed, and slowed down. Obviously, they had sensed the pressure of this terrifying creature. Originally, these warhorses had been blessed with various divine spells, but after entering Kulutego's tyrannical domain, they were strongly affected and affected by his aura.
Of course, Party Ace would not hold back. Zi's' Force Collision Wall ', Aldaris's' Psionic Storm ', and so on were all unleashed. The cavalry at the front faced resistance, but the cavalry at the back did not slow down in the slightest. The riders at the front immediately became obstacles in the rear and were trampled on. It was with this terrifying and merciless charging force that the cavalry was able to advance courageously on the battlefield!
Under the inertia of the cavalry's charge, Kulutego's pressure was not omnipotent. No matter how panicked the horses were, they could only be swept forward by the tide. At this moment, the sturdy stone walls, or more accurately, stone ramparts, that the contestants had painstakingly built previously, played a very important role.
The granite rampart was more than three metres tall and four metres wide. It was almost impossible for the cavalry to break through, so it served as a great deterrent to the cavalry. Party Ace could rest comfortably in the open space between the stone ramparts and wait for the exhausted cavalry to arrive.
Of course, the dark side contestants were not fools. This method was not difficult to come up with. If Party Ace could think of it, so could the others. Building a few similar stone walls did not require too much earth magic power.
It was not difficult to build a few similar stone walls, but the key was that when King Théoden's cavalry spread out, they had a charging range of several kilometers. In the face of the general situation, building a few similar stone walls was actually of little use. More importantly, there were also some amazing people among King Théoden's cavalry. These stone walls might be able to stop the horses, but for those high-ranking cavalry generals, it would only take them a few seconds to break through with their combat qi or a charging skill.
In the blink of an eye, the small area of the battlefield was covered by a thick, pale green mist. Party Ace was still playing the role of a loyal support, throwing out potions first. Ronnie, on the other hand, was like a fish in water. He took advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters. From time to time, a scarlet light would flash out and reap the lives of the Théoden knights.
Suddenly, a Théoden knight slowed down his horse and circled around the stone wall to the side.
Even the ordinary Théoden knights had a strong personal style. Their horses were covered in leather armour, which served as a good defence against bows and arrows. Of course, the high-ranking generals would make their skirts out of slightly heavier fish scale armour. A wooden shield inlaid with iron would be hung from the left saddle of the knight. In the centre of the shield was the symbol of the Théoden royal family. The weapons they used were mainly long-range javelins and close-range axes and swords.
In order to avoid adding extra weight to their horses, the knights often had their upper bodies heavily protected. Iron helmets and hard leather armour inlaid with iron on the chest and other important parts of their bodies were standard. However, the protection of their lower bodies was not as strong.
When the Theoden knight saw someone, he instinctively wanted to urge his horse to speed up, but an invisible wall slammed into his face. Tears and snot immediately flowed down his face. Even his mount let out a shrill neigh as it reared up on its hind legs.
Although he could not see anything, he could smell the stench of a Troll. The knight instinctively raised his shield and blocked a chain hammer from Big Nose, but the sturdy shield shattered into pieces! Their mounts also staggered backwards.
The knight's whole body was sore and numb, but when he felt a sharp pain under his ribs, he was horrified to find that all the strength in his body seemed to be flowing out from under his ribs. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a ghostly figure retreating with a dark red glow. The knight, who was on the verge of death, was about to summon up the last bit of courage in his life to launch a final blow when a pale blue lightning bolt fell from the sky and killed him!
This was the way Party Ace killed the Troll like an assembly line. First, they would use Zi's long-range bombardment to reduce the impact of the Troll's attack, then use the barbaric Trolls to break through the Troll's defence. When the Troll was at his weakest, Ronnie would fully unleash his high attack mode and deliver a fatal blow. Finally, in order to avoid the Troll's dying counterattack, Aldaris would harvest the Troll with long-range attacks.
The Trolls had to bear the most laborious blow, so every time they swung their heavy chain hammer, the next Troll would take their place.
This arrangement could only be described in three words:
Efficient, ruthless, and mechanical.
This was the killing plan Party Ace had formulated. Party Ace, Party Ace, Sheyan, Kulutego, Reef's servant No. 7, Ramtas, and the two Trolls were left behind as his trump cards. They were enough to deal with any unknown situation, even if it came from his own people. Therefore, under his command, Party Ace was like a meat grinder, rapidly harvesting the lives of King Théoden's knights. The contribution points of these guys were not low. Sheyan was shocked when he first killed them. Even an ordinary knight could get 10 to 15 contribution points!
This ratio sounded terrifying. The combat strength of an ordinary knight was actually comparable to that of more than ten ordinary soldiers. But in fact, it was about the same. Considering the current situation, King Théoden's 8,000 cavalrymen had already turned the Orc army of at least 150,000 into a mess even when they were on guard. Even if the 8,000 cavalrymen were not as strong as the 150,000 Orc army, they were not far behind.
However, if 80,000 ordinary human soldiers were to fight the 150,000-strong Orc army, they definitely wouldn't be able to achieve such a result. In fact, there would only be one outcome — annihilation!
Therefore, if the contribution points of killing an ordinary knight were converted into 10 to 15 contribution points, it was definitely not a high price. How big of a risk was it to pounce on and bite off a piece of meat in this torrent of flesh and steel?
In less than ten minutes, the corpses of 34 cavalrymen had fallen near Sheyan. Smelling the strong stench of blood, the barbaric nature of the big-nosed monsters, whose bodies were fully covered in steel armour, flared up. They roared excitedly, dragged the corpses of the horses over, opened their mouths, and chewed on the blood and flesh. They were very savage and delighted.
Sheyan noticed that as the monsters ate, some of the wounds on their bodies healed rapidly. It was clear that these monsters were indeed natural warriors. They were a classic example of nourishing themselves with battle. With this ability, as long as they did not die on the spot and had sufficient food, they could quickly recover their combat strength.
Probably noticing that the offensive on this side had been blocked, a cavalry general wearing a chain armour woven from plate armour rushed over. This guy was a size bigger than the rest and had a grey cloak that symbolised his status behind him. More importantly, he had a horn on his waist. Behind him were more than a dozen obviously elite knights.
Sheyan's eyes flickered when he saw the horn. According to his investigation, King Théoden should have at least two legendary equipment in his possession.
The first was his sword, 'Herugrim', which was a simple and unadorned sword. Its scabbard was inlaid with gold and decorated with emeralds. Because it was tempered in dragon's blood, it had a great deterrent effect on all kinds of creatures.
The second was, of course, the big horn that had just appeared.
After the big bugle horn sounded, there were hundreds of smaller bugles that responded, covering the entire army with the power of the big bugle horn. For this guy to be able to control a small bugle horn, he must be someone with some reputation in the army.
When the cavalry commander charged over, he was exceedingly cautious. From afar, he commanded his subordinates to draw their bows and shoot arrows like a rain of arrows. Such an attack could be said to be coincidentally striking the weak spot of the contestants – ever since Brother Black met with his misfortune, their long range attacks had always been the weakest link.
Moreover, the arrows were shot from the sky, so they could avoid the obstruction of the stone walls. Kulutego was hit by more than a dozen arrows in a row. These arrows were specially made and could even penetrate the skin of the Ultralisk. He immediately howled in pain.
Sheyan immediately looked at Reef. The two of them had been through thick and thin together for a long time, so there was no need for words. They simply nodded in understanding!
At that moment, Kulutego roared in pain. A huge rock with a blazing flame on it appeared in his hand out of thin air. He hurled it at the cavalry.
This throw was very fierce, and after the flaming rock flew out, it shattered into several pieces. Immediately, several elite cavalrymen were thrown off their horses. They let out mournful cries, and their faces couldn't help but reveal a look of horror.
The cavalry general reacted very quickly. As soon as he felt the rock being thrown at him, he immediately made the most correct response. He was riding on a horse, and the retreating speed of the horse could only be described as that of a turtle, so he had no choice but to advance. He immediately crouched down on the horse's back, squeezed the horse's belly with his legs, and dashed forward.
For the sake of preserving his life, he was definitely running at full speed, fearing he would be too slow. Nevertheless, he was extremely cautious, and had always maintained a distance between himself and the contestants. Even after sprinting forward with all his might, he had only galloped 30 to 40 metres. Seeing that he was still 30 metres away from the enemy, he felt that something was wrong, and was about to turn his horse around to flee. Suddenly, he saw the tall and sturdy shield-wielding man looking over, and pointing his right hand towards him … …. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at qidian.com.
