Three of the seven city walls had been breached. Party Ace had now reached the bottom of the fourth city wall.
A person's character could make them endure, retreat, or even give up, but the human alliance, which had already retreated to the top of the fifth city wall, could no longer retreat. If they retreated any further, they would have to prepare to enter their own graves.
At this distance, both sides were within shooting range. After Aziz, who was lurking in ambush, killed seven ordinary soldiers in a row, the human alliance had no choice but to order a halt in their regular patrols. They had to fight elites with elites.
They were already in a terrible situation, so they could not afford to lose any more soldiers. It must be noted that the loss of every soldier would not only bring about a decrease in the strength of the human alliance, but would also be converted into contribution points for the enemy, which would greatly increase the enemy's strength.
In the face of Party Ace's aggressive offensive, the human alliance had no other choice but to mobilize personnel for emergency repairs. After all, apart from the first city wall, the rest of the city walls of Minas Tirith were large holes that had not been seriously filled in for hundreds of years. Would it be useful to make a last-minute effort? Of course it would! But it was hard to say how useful it would be.
At this time, Eviltusk had once again donned a thick armour from head to toe. It wobbled up to the top of the city wall. Although it was a very "hurtful" act to charge at a solid city wall with its flesh and blood, it was not like Eviltusk had never done such a thing before. Besides, they had at least three MTs on their side to buff it before the impact.
Therefore, after about an hour of recovery, and under the temptation of "being able to court a female even when she is not in heat", Eviltusk soon reappeared in high spirits. It came to the bottom of the fourth city wall and was ready to start its run-up.
The fourth city wall was mottled with marks and even traces of smoke and fire. These marks were left behind by the people who had lived in Minas Tirith for hundreds of years. The clear cracks were also quite obvious.
At the very least, under the protection of the first city wall, this place had enjoyed peace for far too long. The people who lived here treated the inner city walls as the walls of their houses, as well as the walls that supported their furniture. The walls were only made of stone to keep out the dirty water and the cold … So, the damage that time and the residents had done to the inner city walls had accumulated over several hundred years. Now, it was time for them to pay their debts.
Eviltusk's heavy footsteps shook the earth. Another violent collision caused the fourth wall to creak horribly, and then shattered rocks rolled down. These building materials might have been indestructible a few hundred years ago, but after the tireless baptism of time and space, they could no longer withstand the destruction of metal and monstrous strength.
Of course, the Human Alliance could not sit back and watch this happen. In an instant, they began to pour their firepower in this direction. Once the fourth wall was destroyed, it would mean that the city was under siege!
In fact, after the enemy succeeded, if they wanted to attack the fifth wall from the bottom of the first city wall, they would have to travel a short distance of no more than 400 meters. If the city wall was still intact, they would have to travel several kilometers along a curved path to achieve the same goal.
Now was the time to test the endurance of both sides. The Corsairs of Umbar and the redeemed Orcs served as the best fillers on both sides, absorbing the enemy's attacks with their bodies. It took Eviltusk a total of six collisions to break through the fourth wall, which took about half an hour. For this, Party Ace paid a huge price of 200 Corsairs of Umbar, 180 Orcs and four Trolls.
What happened next was the usual night battle. Darkness may have no effect on a monster like Legolas, but for most archers, darkness was still an unavoidable enemy.
The first to attack was none other than Sheyan, who had lurked under the city wall at some point in time. Although he lacked long-range attack capabilities, the 'Atypical Virus' that had spread everywhere had successfully infected a large number of defenders on the city wall. Coughs and cries of pain rang out incessantly. The remaining two Ringwraiths continued to dive down from the sky and harass the defenders on the city wall with their terrifying howls. The combination of the two Ringwraiths had suppressed at least one-third of the enemy's combat power!
While the defenders were in a panic, the terrifying Eviltusk had already rushed out and slammed into the fifth wall!
The decisive battle of Minas Tirith began at this moment.
There was no doubt that this was a bloody battle. This was a battle where neither side had much room for retreat.
The intensity of the battle could be seen from one point alone. Sheyan had been knocked into a state of near death three times! But every time, he managed to escape by relying on the 'Life-link' between him and Reef.
And this was when most of the enemy's attacks were long-range attacks, and Sheyan had the bonus of the 'Hedgehog' title. Even so, this did not stop the enemy from focusing their fire on Sheyan.
Whenever Sheyan got close to the city wall, the terrible effect of his' Virus Aura 'on the archers was enough to make them wish they were dead. If they could not drive Sheyan away in time, the impact on their combat power would not be negligible.
At first, it was because of their underestimation of Sheyan that the powerful Eviltusk had slammed into the city wall three times in a row. A huge hole had already formed in the wall. If it did it again, the city wall would definitely be destroyed.
Therefore, they had no choice but to come up with a countermeasure in advance. They used an ancient magic scroll to seal Eviltusk. Under the influence of Sauron's wrath, the seal would only last for less than two hours, and after it was sealed, Eviltusk would be in its strongest state.
This act of quenching thirst with poison meant that within two hours, the defending side had to repel the enemy's attack and inflict heavy damage on the enemy. Otherwise, the furious Eviltusk would cause a devastating blow, and they would have no choice but to retreat to the sixth wall! But if they retreated, the morale that they had worked so hard to raise would be gone. More importantly, even the fifth wall could not be defended for half a day. How long could the sixth wall last?
Therefore, in the following bloody battle, both sides threw in all their strength. The battle was incomparably fierce. Often, in the process of charging the city wall, at least five or six soldiers would fall in the charge. However, if they succeeded in climbing the city wall, then a soldier of the Dark Coalition could kill at least three archers who lacked close combat ability.
The bloody battle lasted until dawn. The human alliance had reached a consensus that the key to this battle lay in the only thing that could threaten the city wall, the Demonized War Mammoth, Eviltusk. Therefore, after the fifth wall collapsed under Eviltusk's attack, the human alliance, who had been gathering their strength for a long time, launched a counterattack instead. They had to concentrate their strength to kill the Demonized War Mammoth at all costs!
Under Sheyan's instructions, the Dark Alliance became even more unyielding and brazenly countered attack with attack. The final outcome of the battle was something no one had expected!
Eviltusk was successfully killed by the Terran Alliance. More importantly, none of the main storyline heroes of the Terran Alliance were killed. Even the contestants suffered very few casualties. On the contrary, the Terran Alliance even managed to kill a Ringwraith. Even several of Percival's subordinates died.
The reason why the Human Alliance was able to achieve such a result was not because the people of the Dark Coalition suddenly short-circuited their brains, but because they used Eviltooth as bait and focused their main attack targets on the ordinary soldiers. From the beginning of the attack plan, the Human Alliance had intended to use these soldiers as cannon fodder!
Therefore, in the early stages of the battle, the human alliance was still complacent, thinking that the dark alliance had been caught unprepared. But in the later stages of the battle, even though the human alliance clearly knew the intentions of the other side, they could no longer stop! Could they give up on the half-dead Eviltusk and retreat when the battle had reached such a stalemate? Could they leave the Ringwraith, who had lost a leg, resolutely?
Therefore, when dawn arrived in Minas Tirith again, blood had already dyed the top of the fifth wall like a river. There was only one word to describe the scene – corpses were everywhere.
It could be said that the Pan-Human Alliance had succeeded. Not only had they achieved victory as planned, but they had also gotten rid of Eviltooth, which was the greatest threat to the city walls. They had also obtained additional benefits. In terms of statistics, they had achieved their goal of 130%.
However, the price they paid was unbearably heavy!! At least two thousand and five hundred ordinary Royal City Guards had died in this ambush! Their deaths were not in vain. They had bought a lot of time for the main force to launch their surprise attack. However, if they could do it all over again, the Human Alliance would rather have Legolas and Gimli die together than lose these two thousand five hundred people!
Because the total number of defenders left …. was only three thousand in total!
The relationship between the strong and the soldiers was very much like the relationship between a tree trunk and its leaves. It did not matter if a few hundred leaves withered, because the branches were the foundation of the tree's support. However, if all the leaves on a tree fell off, it would be useless no matter how intact the trunk and branches were. The tree would only wither and die!
Sheyan's thinking was still very clear, and that was the exchange. He carried it out so thoroughly that he did not hesitate to exchange his elite units for the enemy's ordinary units, which seemed like a loss. (To be continued.
