You have to be willing to give up something to gain something.
If Party Ace wanted to get the biggest share of the spoils of war on this battlefield, they would have to invest a lot. Otherwise, why would the Maritime Alliance and the Blu-ray Party be willing to submit to them? A big fist could intimidate, but it could not convince people.
The War Mammoth that Party Ace had redeemed was purchased with the silver storyline badge given to them by Sauron, so it was not an ordinary War Mammoth. It had its own name, 'Eviltusk', a royal demonized War Mammoth!
This frightening giant's Defense, Attack Power, and HP were at least 1.5 times higher than an ordinary Mammoth. Moreover, it could accommodate 30 Mounts on its back. Most importantly, it had four unique tusks. Just by walking slowly, it was already very intimidating.
On the right side of Eviltusk's body was an obvious tattoo of a black snake and a red shield. These tattoos were drawn with the blood of the slaves captured by the Haradrim. Not only did they provide amazing magic defence, every time Eviltusk killed an enemy, the blood of the enemy would be used as a sacrifice to activate the vengeful spirit hidden in the tattoo to launch an attack.
When purchasing Eviltusk, it would also come with a bonus of 30 riders. These riders could be chosen by Party Ace at will. There were Shieldbearers, Javelin Throwers and Archers.
Shieldbearers specialized in guarding the back of the demonized War Mammoth's head and could heal it during battle. Javelin Throwers were very powerful. The javelins they threw could penetrate a knight's armour. Although the Haradrim Archers, who were good at moving and shooting, were slightly weaker, the strange poison on their arrowheads was very tricky to deal with. Even the Elves, who were familiar with the medicinal properties of various plants, could not do anything about it. The poison was like the breath of a Ringwraith. Only the herbs grown in the southern jungles could cure the poison.
Therefore, Party Ace did not need a single Javelin Thrower, but two Shieldbearers. The rest were all Archers. In the current situation, injuring the enemy was undoubtedly a bigger headache for the enemy.
More importantly, when Party Ace sat on the most important commanding position on the War Mammoth's back, he immediately felt an indescribable divine power of darkness permeating into his body. He felt as if he was mentally connected with the demonized War Mammoth. It was as though Sheyan could feel its pain and joy. At the same time, Sheyan received a notification:
"You are riding an Eviltusk Royal Demonized Mammoth Elephant. “
"Part of your innate ability will be given back to this giant war elephant. When you're not riding it, it will disappear."
"According to your innate ability, the Royal Demonized Mammoth Giant Elephant will be able to ignore 10 to 50 points of damage depending on the enemy's attack power."
Seeing this notification, Sheyan couldn't help asking his party members to try it out.
After Aziz sat on it, the Royal Demonized Mammoth Elephant received a Trueshot Aura, increasing the Archer's Critical Rate and Shooting Range by 10%.
After Zi sat on it, the range of the royal demonized mammoth's' Dark Roar 'ability was increased by 50%, and its MP consumption was reduced by 50%.
After Ronnie sat on it, he gave the Royal Demonized Mammoth Elephant a passive ability called Combo Attack, which gave it a chance to attack an additional time.
After Sanzi sat on it, the Royal Demonized Mammoth Elephant's buff almost made everyone's eyes pop out of their sockets. The Royal Demonized Mammoth Elephant could even court a female when it was not in estrus!
It was well known that animals usually had estrous periods and non-estrous periods. To be honest, creatures like humans who went into estrous period 365 days a year were very rare. Many solitary animals would only gather together when they were in estrous period. Once the estrous period was over, there was a high chance that they would fight when they met. For example, tigers, leopards, bears, and so on were all like this. The cubs were brought up by the mother, and the father would pull up his pants and run away after sowing the seeds.
However, the estrus period of female mammoths was only a short one month long. If a male approached a female mammoth during the remaining eleven months, he would be regarded as a playboy and suffer the strongest retaliation. Even if he was not strong enough, he would still fight back desperately. Therefore, for Eviltusk, the Royal Demonized Mammoth Elephant, the buff ability given by Sanzi was the most important.
Although Sanzi's buff was almost useless to Party Ace, the Royal Demonized Mammoth Elephant, Eviltusk, obviously did not think so. When it noticed that Sanzi was about to get down from its back with an awkward expression on his face, it roared angrily and protested its dissatisfaction by going on a hunger strike, banging its head against the wall and other non-violent and non-cooperative methods.
After some difficult bargaining, the two sides finally reached an agreement. Sanzi could choose not to ride Eviltusk during the battle, but after the battle, Sanzi must stay on Eviltusk's back and not move ….

Half an hour later, Eviltusk, wearing a heavy metal chain armour, slowly walked towards Minas Tirith! Every step of its huge hooves caused the earth to tremble slightly. It was surrounded by a large number of pirates and warriors. Although it looked like they had the advantage in numbers, they actually looked like a disorderly mob.
Their movements had already attracted the attention of the human alliance, but because most of the catapults had been damaged and the weather was bad, there was no way to use them. By the time the enemy passed through the broken gate and entered the first layer of the city wall, they had already entered the blind spot of the catapults and were completely useless.
Because the human alliance had retreated to the fifth layer, the range of ordinary soldiers could not reach Party Ace, but the battle between the contestants had already begun! Aziz was naturally the one leading the charge, but his brilliance was still overshadowed by the Elven Prince Legolas. The Elven Prince's Forest Arrows were so powerful that more than half of Party Ace's losses were caused by him.
When Party Ace saw the terrifying number of casualties caused by Legolas, he felt a headache coming on. He even regretted it a little. Perhaps he should have chosen Legolas as his hunting target? But to be honest, if they had to choose between Aragorn and Legolas, the former was more valuable.
While the two sides were shooting at each other, the demonised mammoth, Eviltusk, had already started galloping forward, dragging its heavy body with it. What was even more astonishing was that Eviltusk's head had been fitted with a ferocious steel armour with a large number of sharp steel needles. Amidst the slight tremors of the earth, Eviltusk slammed into the second layer of the city wall of Minas Tirith!
The impact was like an earthquake, causing the whole city to shake. Eviltusk's monstrous strength, coupled with the special equipment on its head designed to ram into the city wall, instantly caused a cloud of dust to rise up from the second layer of the city wall. Deep cracks appeared on the wall!
The main reason for this was that Minas Tirith had spent most of its energy on reinforcing the first layer of the city wall. The first layer of the city wall of Minas Tirith was indeed worthy of being called an iron bastion. If it had not been for the powerful Grond battering ram, it would have been almost impossible for the first layer of the city wall to fall.
However, because everyone believed that the first layer of the city wall was indestructible, the remaining six layers of the city wall became symbolic existences. Since the establishment of Minas Tirith, the first layer of the city wall had been repaired and maintained every year, but the number of times the remaining layers of the city wall had been maintained could be counted on one hand!
Eviltusk crashed head-on into the wall. Amidst the dust and smoke, Eviltusk was dizzy and staggered back a few dozen steps, but cracks and holes had already appeared on the city wall. While Eviltusk was resting, a group of Trolls hired by the contestants also swarmed forward with hammers and other heavy objects, loyally playing the role of demolition workers. Their actions not only allowed them to expand the results of Eviltusk's attack, but also allowed them to clear away the obstructing stones. They cooperated very well with each other.
It was worth mentioning that of the three Trolls hired by Party Ace, one of them, Black-Ear, had managed to survive and successfully evolved. Black-Ear was now charging at the front in full armour. He was very tired of commanding the Trolls, but he was still very energetic.
With the close cooperation of the two sides, and the limited attack range of the human alliance, the second layer of the city wall was breached in a short time. It was well known that the second layer of the city wall of Minas Tirith was on the rightmost side of the city wall, while the third layer of the city wall was on the leftmost side. Now that the second layer of the city wall had been breached, Party Ace no longer needed to take a detour when they marched in. They could now directly attack the third layer of the city wall!
Under such circumstances, Party Ace was not greedy. After Eviltusk knocked down the third city gate in one go, they immediately retreated. Party Ace was not a greedy person to begin with. If they continued to advance, they would enter most of the enemy's attack range. Besides, the next thing they would have to deal with was the solid city wall, not the simple city gate. Therefore, they might as well retreat and rest for a while before making further plans.
More importantly, Party Ace had now shown another trump card of his, and the power of this trump card had been fully demonstrated. The next ones to have a headache would be Knight and the others! If they could not find an effective way to deal with it, they could only wait for their deaths! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at qidian.com.
