This overnight fierce battle was a great test of the will and military strength of both sides, and they both suffered very heavy losses. However, judging from the number of casualties, although the number of casualties on Sauron's side far exceeds that of the Alliance side, it is actually Sauron's side that occupies the majority. Advantage.
Why? Because the strength of the defenders is so different from Sauron's side, even a ten to one battle loss rate is not enough for the alliance with only 6,000 defenders, and when the casualty rate of an army exceeds When it reaches 40%, it will be almost completely destroyed—the current defenders are quite close to the bottom line of collapse. If it weren't for the support of the Jazz and the others, they might have collapsed, and it's hard to say.
So now both sides are competing for endurance, who consumes more energy, and who can endure more!
The sticking point now lies in who can break through the city first. Once a hand-to-hand battlefield is created, Sauron's advantage will be brought to the extreme. The seven-story city wall sounds awesome, but as long as it is broken through the first If there is a hand-to-hand battle with a city wall, then the time to break the city will hardly be too far away.
Time passed by every minute and every second, and after only taking a breath for less than an hour, the red-eyed Cosmo ordered to fight again, and the target was the gate of Minas Tirith! Because even though Grund's battering ram had been destroyed, before it was destroyed, it had already slammed into the city gate of Minas Tirith three times!
The power of these three impacts was astonishing, and it had already left a terrible scar on the city gate of Minas Tirith. Three clear dents appeared in front of people's eyes like engravings, as if they had been attacked by a giant wolf. The sharp teeth bit the general.
At least five or six people can lie down in each dent, and there are two deep cracks on the city gate, which are twisted in the shape of an X, and the city gate can even be seen from the deepest crack. The scene behind.
Obviously, the city gate of Minas Tirith, which has been destroyed like this, obviously will not have much defensive power, so the pig-head man Cosmo, who has gone crazy, began to aim at the city gate at all costs launched a mad attack.
However, under the desperate resistance of the defenders, even ordinary battering rams could not be transported to the city gate. Because there were so many corpses, at the beginning, the defenders poured oil on fire to burn the corpses. Later, when they found that these corpses forced the half-orcs to carry the battering ram forward, they simply ignored it. Asked, let these corpses become a natural obstacle.
At this moment, under Fang Sheyan's instruction, Sanzai was forced to drink Greema · Whispering Potion with a bitter face, and then suggested a very simple action to the pig-headed brother Cosmo:
That is the negative soil barrier city.
Although the city gate of Minas Tirith is majestic, it is still no more than 20 meters long. During the battle in the city gate area, there were human corpses falling from the tower and thousands of orcs who died in battle. The corpses and the ruins of Gronde's battering ram lay there, at least to a height of more than ten meters.
At this time, San Zai's suggestion was based on the cruelty of this corpse.
He asked that the ring spirits continue to focus on harassing the extremely dense enemy troops around the city gate. In order to avoid the danger of the ring spirits, he asked them to just dive and scream, so that the people on the city wall were afraid and confused, and at the same time let the orc soldiers and orcs rest. Instead, the orc laborers and slaves who were lacking in combat power each carried twenty catties of soil in rattan baskets to fill the city gate. If it went well, it would take less than an hour for the moat to become flat.
After this plan was put forward, although Cosmo did not express his opinion, he immediately got the support of all the orc generals.
Because Sanzi's proposal freed their soldiers from the unnecessary bloody charge, although it also determined that those humble orc slaves and hard laborers would risk their lives, but this kind of thing would not be taken seriously Up.
The following developments were jaw-dropping. At this time, although only two-thirds of the soldiers in the army were left, and the rest were exhausted, the orc slaves and orcs were the new force. Compared with the soldiers, They are still full of energy, and there is no technical content in what they have to do, which is to rush over, dump the soil, and then run back.
Although the defenders on the city wall are already trying their best to snipe, the effect is not good. Because of the disadvantage of the number of defenders, they can't get rest, so they are already tired, and the characters in the plot are shooting with bows and arrows Yes, even if the quality of human fighters in Middle-earth is far superior to that of Earth people, after a night of fierce fighting, repeated bows and bows exhausted their energy. At this time, their shooting was already weak and exhausted.
More importantly, it was the cunning screams of the seven ring spirits swooping down. This kind of behavior without substantial lethality will greatly affect the accuracy and morale of shooting.
Therefore, at ten o'clock in the morning, as the last basket of soil was sprinkled, the huge hill-like mound in front of the city wall was formed, level with the first city wall of Minas Tirith, and The city gate of Minas Tirith, known as the iron wall, was buried deep below!
The moat has become a thoroughfare! !
Following the dive of the seven ring spirits, the selected elite trolls in four-headed armor with huge chains and hammers began to rush towards the filled passageway, followed by a large group of ogres Yelling wildly, the red-eyed orc was almost constipated!
The defenders who were still trying to resist on the city wall were terrified, but before the elite ogre could rush in, they were directly annihilated by a large number of spears and hand axes thrown violently by the orcs behind.
Looking down from the top, one can see the tide-like black army pouring fiercely into the first city wall of Minas Tirith, although they can still be killed condescendingly through the six city walls above. But at this distance, the trebuchets were already difficult to function, and the defenders were also exhausted, and their morale was also severely depressed. As for the gates of the other six city walls, maybe even a troll can break them alone!
However, the raging fire burst into flames all of a sudden! !
The orc army that rushed into the first layer of the city wall of Minas Tirith suddenly found that their surroundings seemed to become a sea of flames in an instant! This turned out to be a tragic act of burning everything together!
At night, the Jazz and the others must have expected that the first layer of the city wall would be difficult to defend, so they specially set up a death trap there, and together with the houses, they became the medium for ignition.
This trick is not poisonous!
Everyone could only watch helplessly as the monstrous fire raged, and the black smoke billowed, as if it was about to point straight to the sky! Thanks to Jax's strong organization at this time, the contractors and orc vanguard troops that rushed into the city retreated back in time, so they only lost a small half.
However, they could only wait for the fire to go out automatically, and by the time they could go to fight again, it was already close to two o'clock in the afternoon.
A ferocious self-mutilating flame bought nearly three hours for the opposing alliance!
But Minas Tirith has a total of seven walls, even if one has been breached at this time, there are still six full walls waiting for them to break through! It also means that the other party can light six fires! Each fire can at least buy them close to two hours, here is a considerable twelve hours.
What's more, the contractors on the opposite side can hold on to each city wall for at least half an hour. If you calculate it this way... It can only be a fantasy if you want to break Minas Tirith before the Rohan cavalry arrives. !
At this time, two more news came from the Anduin River, one good and one bad.
Fang Sheyan has been wondering about the mystery before finally revealed, that is why the skull with which he had a secret agreement before seems to have evaporated. Only now did he know that Noah C space also released two special missions, It was to snipe at the two reinforcements that were attacking Minas Tirith.
Among them, the first reinforcement was the cavalry of Rohan. However, this reinforcement failed. Instead, the reinforcements sent by the alliance would speed up and arrive at the battlefield at three o'clock this afternoon.
However, the skull is in the team that sniped the protagonist Aragorn!
At this time, the protagonist Aragorn obtained the reforged holy sword, Anduril, which symbolizes the power of the Emperor, from Elf King Ailon! At this time, he is going through the way of the dead with the elf prince Legolas and the dwarf warrior Jinbo, going to the dead country where the mountain people live, and recruiting them to fight for him.
And the skulls showed their talents in this sniper team. Although the entire team suffered heavy casualties, even the most pessimistic estimate could at least delay the arrival of Aragorn's undead army by twelve hours or even twenty-four hours. Hours.
If these twelve hours are extra, it is really likely to be the deciding factor!
After hearing this news, Sheyan pondered for a while, took a deep breath and said:
"This afternoon is going to be a bloodbath."
…
At this time, all the equipment that can be exchanged in the Hall of the Dark Fountain has been refreshed, and there are as many as three pieces of legendary equipment!
The first piece of legendary equipment is the ring.
The origin of this ring is also well-known. After Sauron forged the Lord of the Rings, he also forged the Nine Rings of Humans and the Three Rings of Elves. These rings were all quietly influenced and tempted by the Lord of the Rings, so Sauron separated them. Presented to other races.
These rings possess powers that would fascinate even kings and heroes, and few can resist the allure. Human beings who have accepted the Nine Commandments of Humanity are, without exception, famous heroes and powerhouses in Middle-Earth, Emperor Yingwu. However, while these nine human beings are indulging in the power of the ring, they are corrupted by the Lord of the Rings. Fall, this is the origin of the Ring Spirits.
In the battle of Minas Tirith, two Ringwraiths fell. Because Gandalf played a decisive role in killing them, the drop of the Ringwraiths was not good. The two Ringwraiths he wore The human legend ring was also taken back by Sauron.
The legendary ring that can be exchanged at this time was once held by the fallen Ringwraith: Adenafell the Quiet!
Its name is: Ring of Valor!
In order to induce human kings to wear the nine human rings, Sauron not only endowed the rings with powerful power, but also named the nine rings according to the nine human virtues, which are humility, honor, sacrifice, Heroic, compassionate, noble, honest, spiritual, just.
The king who wore the nine precepts was addicted to this power at first, and he actually disciplined his behavior according to the name of the ring. But the problem lies in this place. After wearing the Nine Precepts of Humanity, what is required is the execution of virtue in the absolute sense!
For example, after wearing the ring of honesty, under the magic power of the ring, you will be unable to tell lies, and you will even be unable to refuse to answer. There is a process of bottoming out.
The king was once on the battlefield but was rudely ridiculed by the enemy and asked him how many women he could do every night... The king was already in his fifties at the time and couldn't do what he wanted. He can only be honest... well, since then he has been ridiculed as the impotent king, and since then his temperament has changed drastically, and after accumulating anger, he has gradually fallen into darkness.
Therefore, people who wear the Ring of Bravery will tend to behave viciously and viciously. If a poisonous snake hides in the dark, it has nothing to do with bravery.
In addition to strengthening all attributes of the wearer.
Its first attribute is obscurity.
When the person holding this ring is not exposed to the sun, he will get a 33% absolute dodge bonus (including dodge magic, physical attack), and make the attacker's hit rate bonus all invalid.
Under the sun, the absolute dodge bonus disappears, but the dark power that makes the attacker's hit rate bonus completely invalid still exists.
Its second attribute is infiltration.
When the person holding this ring is not exposed to sunlight, when using a long-range attack weapon, they will get the special effect of increasing the range by 100%, and this effect will disappear under sunlight.
When the person holding this ring is not exposed to the sun, when using a melee attack weapon, he will gain the special ability of range attack. The dark attack will be attached to your attack, and it will also affect the enemies near your attack target. Also deals damage equal to 50% of your attack damage.
Its third attribute is the active ability: Nazhigol's wrath. The explanation is very simple. After executing this option, you will become a loyal servant of Lord Sauron, the Dark Lord, and become Na'gol who walks in the world and the nether world.
Only the wearer can see its detailed properties.
…
The second piece of legendary equipment is a weapon.
The origin of this weapon is even more bizarre.
In the plot of the movie, when the powerful Witch King of Angmar was about to kill Éowyn, Merry stabbed the Witch King's knee ligament with a sharp legendary sword, causing the Witch King to fall to the ground. Eowyn took the opportunity to stab between the Witch King's crown and cloak, eliminated the Witch King, and also confirmed the oath that no man could destroy the Witch King of Angmar, but the blade of Merry's sword also melted away.
This weapon, which was exchanged for the contractor, was the sister weapon of Meili's razor-sharp legendary sword!
These swords are Tom? Bombardier obtained them from the tombs of Tomb Mound, and he distributed the weapons to the hobbits.
The swords were made by the Dundans of Arno, and they were made against the Witch-king of Angmar, and they were cast with spells against the servants of Sauron. They may also be called long broad daggers, with red and gold serpentine patterns, and black scabbards and gleaming blades, inlaid with shining gems.
This weapon was originally worn by Pippin the Hobbit, a member of the Fellowship of the Ring. As a result, the unlucky boy was hit by a stone thrown by the giant catapult exchanged by the contractor, leaving no bones. Because the contractor who killed him was out of luck (if he could hit this hobbit gift bag in a black light, his luck would probably be exhausted), so he didn't explode Pippin's side weapon.
So this lost and unowned thing happened to be discovered by a half-orc, and he devoutly enshrined it to Lord Sauron immediately.
Sauron took it out without hesitation to boost morale.
Sword of Western royalty.
Its first attribute is to destroy evil. When encountering creatures or environments that are unfavorable to the owner, it will emit a soft light, and when the holder is attacking (not necessarily using the sword itself) dark creatures Sometimes there is a high chance of one-hit kill, even if it encounters a creature that is immune to one-hit kill, after triggering this special effect, it will still cause amazing damage.
Its second attribute is tolerance.
When the owner who holds it is attacked by a malicious spell, it can absorb 70% of the damage of the spell attack, up to three times, and then it will fall into a saturated state.
Its third attribute is imprisonment.
Whenever this weapon kills an enemy, you can choose whether to imprison his soul into the blade, then when you use this weapon to make that hungry soul devour enough souls, you can use Temporary manifestation of its soul to aid you in battle.
For example, if you kill the Iron Blood Elder with this sword, you can imprison his soul, and then you can summon him after killing enough enemies and accumulating enough anger. Kill the girl and imprison her soul... Of course, the stronger the soul, the more demanding the summoning requirements will be.
Only the wearer can see its detailed properties.
…
The third piece of legendary equipment is a shield.
The origin of this legendary piece of equipment is a bit strange. After the Gronde battering hammer was destroyed, it was in ruins under the city gate. After the first city wall of Minas Tirith was successfully broken, the orc slaves He and the hard worker dug out this thing and continued to worship.
Why did this happen, because the name Gronde actually belonged to the special weapon of the ancient demon god Morgoth, the giant hammer of Gronde! Moreover, Sauron was once the younger brother of Morgoth. Visually speaking, Sauron is Chen Haonan, Ge Longde is Jiang Tiansheng, Sauron is Bao Heizi, and Ge Longde is Di Renjie.
More importantly, no one knows that when casting this battering ram, it actually failed many times. In the end, Sauron had no choice but to put in it what was left over from the destruction of Grond's giant hammer. The fragment was the core, and it was successfully casted. In order to describe its strength, Gronde's name was named on it, just like the naming of the "Raptor" fighter jet, the "Bismarck" battleship, and the "Nimitz" aircraft carrier. Way.
At this time, Sauron tried to repair the destroyed Gronde battering ram, but in vain, but he found that the fragment of the artifact that was put in when the battering ram was cast back then had undergone a mutation. During the long years at the core of the German siege ram, countless capitals were broken, and it was covered with the blood of countless people. It even imprisoned the wraiths of seventeen kings, and finally became a piece of legendary equipment alone.
However, because the fragment of the Gronde giant hammer is actually located on the handle of the hammer, it is often used for parrying and blocking, so this fragment, which could be regarded as an indestructible artifact, has turned into a strange shield!
—Gronde's stubbornness! !
This is an indescribably strange shield. Its appearance seemed to be distorted and perverted like steel that was half smelted and then suddenly thrown into the water. The reason for this result was that Morgoth was defeated by Vera in the battle of wrath at the end of the first era.
Vera punched the Iron Crown into a collar, burned the giant hammer of Grund with his endless anger, bound Morgoth with the Angenor iron chain, and ruled that his soul was driven out of the gate of night , into an endless void, never to return.
The burned Grund Hammer exploded violently, but a fragment of the hammer flew out during the explosion, but fell into the magma. The heat of the magma neutralized Vera's anger, making the original Such a fragment was left behind by the Great Hammer of Grond, which would be completely wiped out.
Sauron discovered it when he was casting the Ring at Mount Doom.
The first attribute of Gronde's obstinacy is fury.
When the holder suffers any damage, it will be affected by Gronde's stubborn rage, and the damage will be reduced forcibly. The reduced damage value is (the holder's physical strength minus the attacker's physical strength). If the attacker's stamina is low, the damage will be reduced by at least 25 points. (Its method of calculating damage is equivalent to Fang Sheyan's sigh of death, but the priority cannot be compared with it).
The second attribute is the source of pain.
Pain degrades, but pain also excites!
Whenever the holder suffers damage, Grund's stubbornness will recall the moment of being damaged by Vera's anger, so it will give the holder additional protection. Every time the holder receives damage, it will provide an additional 3 points of defense and an additional point/second of life value recovery, which can be stacked up to 15 times! The duration is thirty minutes!
The third attribute is active ability: Ge Longde! !
This shield is a fragment of the ancient artifact Gronde's giant hammer, so it still has the majesty to reproduce the terrifying power of the ancient giant hammer! At the cost of 2,000 points of life, the user summons the phantom of the ancient artifact Grond to launch a terrifying bombardment within a range of 30 meters in front.
This attack comes with the terrifying special effects of the four powerful destruction spells of "Destruction", "Barrier Breaking", "Range Force Field Deflection", and "Wave of Exhaustion", causing a bloody storm among the enemies!
At the same time, the total amount of damage you caused in this blow will form a powerful dark shield on the body surface to protect yourself. The life value of the dark shield is equal to the damage you caused by this blow. It exists for one minute or until it is broken.
If any life is lost in this blow, then your life value consumed by the awakening skill will be replenished.
Only the wearer can see its detailed properties.
…
It is undeniable that legendary equipment also has strengths and weaknesses, just like the temperers also have their own strengths and weaknesses.
Obviously, among these three pieces of legendary equipment, none of them can be compared with the Kungunir that Sheyan has seen before.
But the most powerful of these is Ge Longde's stubbornness. Leaving aside the perverted bonus that can rival Sheyan's talent, it is the first piece of equipment that Sheyan has seen that can restore vitality. It is the best, not to mention that this thing is a fragment of an ancient artifact after all, and it might be possible to re-promote the artifact. This is like a reason that even if a billionaire is bankrupt, his chances of becoming a billionaire again are much higher than ordinary people.
In addition, it is the Heroic Ring of the Nine Commandments of Humanity. Needless to say, for any long-range attacker, the extra 100% extension of the range is an absolute artifact attribute. There is almost nothing more important than this, and an inch is an inch. Strong, distance determines life and death! What's more, there is an active skill that can transform into a ring spirit? Not bad if you think about it.
The Sword of the Western Royal Family is the weakest weapon, but once this weapon imprisons a great soul, then Xianyu may turn around and become the first! And it is very targeted and has miraculous effects on dark creatures. If it is used well, it should not be too easy to spawn monsters in certain worlds.
But what is the exchange price of these three pieces of legendary equipment? ? ? According to the instructions after the query, if you want to see the specific price, you must hold at least half of the contribution of the price! Such a threshold setting is quite weird, but it also shows that it must be expensive.
At this time, it was only more than an hour before the arrival of the Rohan cavalry, and the contractors also stopped their unnecessary offensives and began to rest instead, and exchanged the contribution points obtained after the fierce battle for a targeted exchange. You know, fighting cavalry on this plain is a very disadvantageous thing.
