Although it has been confirmed that it is almost impossible for the other party to create another earthquake, Sauron's contractors have been repeatedly confirmed, and four contractors who are proficient in earth magic are arranged to monitor at any time, and then they will The ten newly exchanged heavy catapults were pushed out.
To be honest, Fang Sheyan was also very surprised that these guys were able to jointly exchange ten heavy catapults. According to the exchange price, even if a heavy catapult was purchased with various discounts, it would at least cost Worth 1,200 contribution points.
However, this thing pays back very quickly. Even if you throw it once and hit the city wall, you will have a guaranteed 5~10 points of contribution, and the boulder you throw also has infinite possibilities:
If it hits the corridor of the city wall, there must be more than one soldier casualty, and the collapse of the building will also reduce the excess contribution.
The lethality of the boulders thrown is also amazing, and all non-famous plot characters are instant kills. If you are lucky and hit an official among the plot characters, the income will be even more expensive.
In addition, if you can hit the trebuchet placed on the seven walls of Minas Tirith, you can basically recover half of the cost with just one stone.
In the absence of large-scale ground melee combat, the contribution of Sauron's contractors mainly comes from the exchange of world relations they have experienced before, but it is still too much to be able to make up 12,000 contribution points. more.
This can only show one thing, that is, the experience of Sauron's contractors in the world of Lord of the Rings is not only very rich. It can even be almost judged that the Blu-ray team may have some special opportunities. But since the space has launched this team as the leader, it must be given preferential treatment.
At this time, in front of the outer periphery of the city wall of Minas Tirith, there was an extra two or three kilometers long ground fissure depression, which looked like an arc-shaped elongated scar on the Paliano Plain.
It is precisely because of this extra ground fissure that the attacker is equivalent to being unable to set up siege equipment above the golden distance of siege, but is forced to retreat 30 to 50 meters. The stones thrown by it could have been The farthest covered area around the third city wall of Minas Tirith can only barely reach the area of the first city wall, and the defenders' catapults have a height advantage when counterattacking, so they don't care too much about these three layers. Ten to fifty meters away.
However, after entering the actual combat at this time, it was discovered that, if the five giant catapults hurriedly made by the orc side were added, a total of fifteen giant catapults bombarded indiscriminately, although about 30% of the stones were bombarded according to the order of the opposing alliance. It is estimated that it was because of insufficient throwing power that it fell under the first city wall of Minas Tirith, but the remaining 70% of the stones were bombarded on the area of the first city wall without exception! !
In this case, compared to the previous situation where the catapult attack area was not missed, it was evenly distributed on the first, second, and third walls of Minas Tirith, although the second and third walls were not attacked. Dangerous, the pressure on the first city wall suddenly increased! ! It originally only needed to withstand 33% of the fire bombardment, but now it has to withstand 70% of the fire bombardment.
And different from the scattered catapults thrown by Sauron's side before, the catapults belonging to the contractors have a common command, and more than a dozen giant catapults are concentrated on one point to bombard! Everyone knows that breaking the city does not mean knocking down all the walls, but only needs to make a hole in a complete section of the city wall. Therefore, Minas Tirith's defensive pressure also doubled accordingly.
To relieve this huge pressure, the only way is to attack against attack! ! The terrifying contribution points accumulated by the alliance side came in handy at this time! Jax immediately held a meeting. Since he knew that the other party had exchanged ten heavy catapults in one go, the Alliance exchanged twenty light catapults in one go (the heavy city walls would not fit on top of the city walls, and humans could not operate them), and concentrated The catapults fired at Sauron's side were bombarded indiscriminately!
However, at this time, the contractors on Sauron's side are strong individually, and the importance of the number of MTs is reflected! Among the rocks that hit like raindrops, MT's awakening skills were blessed on the catapults one after another. Although there were also situations where the protection was insufficient, only one heavy catapult was completely destroyed, and the remaining four Although the heavy catapult was damaged, it can continue to be used after hasty repairs.
Although Cosmo has a veritable pig's head, it is not a real pig after all. After seeing this situation, it dispatched a powerful ultimate force—the nine ring spirits began to ride on the snake neck wings Dragons fight!
These ghostly creatures walking in the world have no sorrow or joy, and can only get great pleasure from killing. The dark creatures they ride flap their wings vigorously, and use the buoyancy of the air to quickly swoop around the bend in the sky towards the huge In the majestic city of Minas Tirith, the dark and dirty armor of the Ringwraiths and the scales of the plesiosaurs have dark rays of light, which is a sign that they have started to cast spells silently at the same time!
The giant claws of the plesiosaur can hold at least five human soldiers at a time, and then throw them down hundreds of feet. It is a fatal blow.
But what hurt the defenders the most was the howling of fear from the deep and dark mouth of the Nazgold. These sounds were not transmitted through the eardrums at all, but directly acted on the hearts of the enemies, arousing their deepest fears. It feels like death is about to come in the next second. The Ringwraiths, on the other hand, can draw strength from the fear of their enemies and become stronger.
After a ring spirit swoops down, it will often cause the defenders of a whole section of the city wall to boil like gruel, causing chaos for at least half an hour. What makes people even more tangled is that the dilemma of the alliance's lack of high-end combat power is vividly displayed. In front of the ring spirits who come and go like wind, even if several contractors join forces, it is difficult to inflict heavy damage on them! Even Gandalf's light can only drive it away temporarily! !
Three minutes, just three minutes of hesitation, these are called in the bard's poem: Riding the Shadow Dragon, the monster who became Winged Nazgul destroyed a whole ten The seven light catapults, no matter their sharp claws or powerful wings, will inevitably cause devastating damage once they come into contact with the wood and metal that make the catapult.
However, as Jax gritted his teeth and gave an order, a large amount of contribution points were collected, and the same powerful giant eagle was exchanged for air support. This kind of creature is a powerful monster living in the misty mountains. During the team-building task of the ace team, Sheyan had dealt with a certain creature in this group of creatures, and he knew exactly how powerful they were.
However, although the giant eagle in the Misty Mountains is powerful, it is almost impossible to defeat the Ring Spirits one-on-one. Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is necessary to use a two-on-one method to ensure that the Ring Spirits will be firmly defeated. Spirit banishment—this means exchanging for the terrifying eighteen-headed giant eagle! Such an astonishing amount of consumption can be said to squeeze out the contribution of the alliance's extra gains!
But so far, the dominant side is still on the side of the alliance! !
Because it is very simple, the first day of the siege is coming to an end, and the dirty orcs have not even touched the first wall of the great Minas Tirith! Not to mention climbing it, it was hard to believe that this was a brilliant achievement when Sauron had the upper hand. Thinking of this, and considering that the cavalry of Rohan will come to aid 24 hours later, the situation of the two sides is about to be completely reversed, and the alliance is also excited, looking forward to that day.
However, at this moment, the potion of Gelima · Whispering Words had a huge effect! The tireless attacks of Sauron's ten giant catapults also paid off a lot of costs, so he bought a dose of Gelima · Whispering Words Potion, and after taking it for the diplomatic envoys specially trained by the Blu-ray team, he convinced Gus Mount.
The remaining twelve giant catapults owned by Sauron so far retreated to the rear at the same time. When those guys on the city wall thought they had won a huge victory, the twelve giant catapults began to aim at Mina. The muddy land in front of the city wall of Stiles started to be thrown violently, and what was thrown was nothing but a large amount of pebbles and river sand brought from the Anduin River!
The purpose of this catapult is to fill up the muddy area, and the boulders thrown on it can also form a natural shelter to avoid the shooting on the city wall. Maybe it is OK for the alliance to organize people to perform a mud spell, but if the natural conditions do not support it, even if the mud spell can take effect, it is not effective. More importantly, if many earth mages cast spells together, it would be easy to be detected.
Although Sauron's contractors do not have an advantage in number, their individual abilities are very powerful. It should be difficult to interrupt the opponent's magic circle, but it is very simple to interfere or weaken the strength of their magic from a distance. .
Because in the final analysis, the mud technique still needs to mobilize the earth elements in the area. The more earth elements, the better the effect, so use a large number of methods of consuming earth elements in the target area in advance, such as summoning dozens of earth element magic horses. If it comes out, then before the earth element in the area is naturally replenished, the effect of the mud technique must be pitifully low.
