Chapter 251: Uneasy

When the Ringwraiths' momentum was held back and the soldiers recovered, the Orcs' offensive quickly fell into decline again. It was clear that if they continued like this, they would be consumed sooner or later.

But the Ringwraiths didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and they didn't seem to care at all about how much damage their side had suffered.

Orcs and trolls continued to fall, but the Ringwraiths did not continue to issue orders, as if those soldiers were not their own people.

On the city wall, their figures disappeared and retreated backwards.

"He is not here."

After leaving Gandalf's perception, one of the Ringwraiths spoke up and expressed his opinion.

"If that person was here, he would have come out and cleaned everything up."

"agree."

'He' is not the kind of person who likes to hide behind the scenes and watch his men fight to death.

"That's all for the test. Where did you dig those things up?"

"Under our feet."

"They are afraid of the light and aura within the city walls and are unwilling to approach."

“It’s been hard enough getting them here.”

"Then attack directly."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud rumbling sound from underground, as if a switch was touched.

The city walls continued to tremble and the ground began to collapse.

Crash——

A certain place close to the outside of the city wall suddenly became concave, and some huge monster suddenly drilled out from the ground. As soon as it came out, it opened its mouth wide and crashed into the city wall next to it, swallowing the stones that made up the city wall and crushing them into debris in an instant.

Large pieces of earth and rock debris splashed everywhere, covering the faces of the surrounding soldiers.

The night sky was covered by the huge body, and the territory was dark.

"Earthworm!"

Balin recognized the object.

"But why wouldn't they have been better off digging in with those orcs at the outset, outside the wall?"

No one could answer his question. At this moment, everyone was frightened by the sudden appearance of this huge creature.

"What the hell!"

A soldier subconsciously slashed at the giant monster in front of him with a sword, and the twisted and wriggling monster that seemed to have no end immediately let out a cry of pain, and shrank back in an instant, returning the light of the stars and the moon.

At the same time, it also made way for the gap in the city wall that was crushed by its steel-like fangs in the cavity.

"attack!!!"

The terrifying roar filled the entire place, urging and lashing the army like a barbed whip, causing them to rush towards the gap in succession.

The ogres charged forward, facing the iron golems that came running after hearing the noise.

It’s a pity that the territory was established in too short a time, and not many minerals were brought in such a hurry. When Levi left, he only summoned a hundred or so iron golems.

They were not strong enough to stop the attack of tens of thousands of troops and giant beasts, especially the giant beasts.

The trolls are similar in size to the iron golems, and the two are evenly matched, but in front of those giant beasts that were born from unknown creatures, the iron golem has to raise its head just to see their full appearance.

"Hold the walls!"

Gandalf ran down shouting, charging forward with Glamdring in hand.

The hard skin that could be cut by ordinary swords was like paper in front of this sword. Gandalf swung with all his strength, and each sword could cut deeply into the trolls' skin, causing them great damage. The giant beast's feet were also stabbed by him, and its body was unstable.

Behind him were the courageous soldiers who formed an iron wall, firmly blocking everything out.

It was blocked, but another group of people became anxious.

The temporary city wall repair team rushed over, but seeing the situation they didn't know where to start.

"There are too many entities. The city wall cannot be repaired at all. Think of a solution quickly!"

They spoke some technical terms that only their own people could understand.

"The bugs are gone."

"It's our turn."

Outside, three Ringwraiths saw the opportunity to join the attack. The pressure suddenly came, and even Gandalf felt a little anxious.

Boom!

Under the targeted attack of the Ringwraiths, an iron golem fell to the ground, leaving behind a few iron ingots and a bright red flower. However, when the iron golem rushed over with heavy steps, it could only catch a glimpse of its afterimage.

They are not affected by fear, but are limited by their own attack methods and speed, as well as the constraints of the surrounding army.

When the Ringwraiths tore open a breakthrough, all the giant beasts gathered and followed closely behind, squeezing in one after another.

Seeing that the Iron Golems were about to fail and the soldiers would soon be the next in line, Balin knocked on the heads of the Orcs who were about the same height as him and said, "Ringwraiths, behemoths, trolls, and Orcs, their attack is too fierce. Gandalf, what should we do now? Should we continue to block them?"

We can definitely stop them. Although the enemy is fierce, the soldiers in the roadside fort are also elite, and they are very tenacious and difficult to kill.

At least this gap cannot be breached until the Ringwraiths kill all the iron golems and turn their attention to other places.

Hey! Old Gandalf chopped down a troll with all his might, and gasped for breath and replied: "You should ask the person who is most familiar with this territory. I am not the one who was appointed to lead the army."

ah--!!

This answer was instantly drowned out by the scream that almost tore the eardrums.

"We still have a record."

Farodan rushed over and answered, then quickly turned around to organize each team to take corresponding actions.

"Retreat, retreat, leave the gap!"

Although I don’t know the meaning of this order, a good soldier is one who obeys and executes orders unconditionally.

So the people in front immediately retreated, as if they didn't care about this place anymore.

Seeing that the enemy seemed to have given up the fight, Oak, who had just squeezed in, pointed at their backs and cursed and laughed at them.

But they don't know yet that behind all sudden and incomprehensible actions there are usually some other things hidden.

The Ringwraiths noticed something was wrong, but did not warn them. They just let the Orcs rush in, while they quietly retreated and stood there observing.

"Maintenance team, get ready. Demolition team, wait for instructions—"

"put!"

Sizzle——

Whoosh——

Boom!

A huge noise appeared along with white light and fireworks particles, which completely covered the gap.

In an instant, the orcs that were still trying to squeeze in were physically shattered to the ground.

Even the ogres and behemoths could not escape. They were swayed from side to side by the dense explosions and finally fell to the ground with their skin torn and flesh exposed. They were then attacked by the Fire Arrow Archer Brigade. If they were not dead yet, they would have to face special execution by another armor-piercing team.

Under the bombing of the blasting team, an empty area appeared at the gap in the city wall for a moment. The maintenance team seized the opportunity and immediately went forward to build an interception line with wooden boards.

As long as the attack from outside can be temporarily blocked, even if it's only for a dozen seconds or even a few seconds, the subsequent engineering team will be able to react, bring in stronger materials, and carry out further repairs.

As the city walls and terrain were quickly repaired, this wave of offensive was declared a failure.

"Hold it?"

“I guess so.”

Farodan climbed up the city wall again and said:

"Actually, what I want to say is that defense and the like have always been the weak points of the soldiers at Roadside Fort, although people don't usually think that way."

After all, given the conditions of the roadside fort, especially the wall in the center with countless layers of obsidian, I'm afraid even ten earth worms wouldn't be able to bite it.

As for breaking through from underground, forget it. Most of Levi's important facilities and some things that are inconvenient to display are built underground. Not to mention the earth worms, even if Sauron dares to dig there, he will have to cover his head and run away after a while.

The roadside fort is considered to be impregnable, largely because of its inherently strong defenses.

As for the soldiers guarding there...

What they would definitely like to do more is go out and hit the enemy hard on the head.

The new round of attack failed. All available means were used, but the Orcs did not retreat. They just continued to make some seemingly meaningless attacks.

For example, they could send the few remaining ogres and behemoths to carry siege weapons and attack the city walls. The repair team would repair wherever they hit the walls. Even if they paid a huge price to break through the originally solid walls, they would find new walls behind them.

As for if they still intend to hit the new wall, that would be terrible, because a bucket of magma would be poured down immediately from above to sterilize and remove fleas from them.

The riverside fort was temporarily held.

The Ringwraiths did not make any new moves, but just kept changing their positions and quietly observing the overall situation of the battlefield.

This feeling of absent-mindedness that surrounded them from beginning to end...

It's quite disturbing.
