Chapter 252 Charge!
"Sir, we can't capture that city."
At the rear of the army, the Orc leader ran to the Ringwraiths to complain.
"That wall is too strong. Even if it is broken, it will be repaired quickly."
"Their materials are endless, but our soldiers will be used up sooner or later."
At this moment, the few remaining behemoths and a group of ogres had been recalled in advance by the Orc leader and were waiting for orders in the rear.
Even Oakhead could see that it was unwise to continue wasting time like this.
There really is no hope of victory.
"The siege ladders are useless. Their reserves of arrows and those weird fireworks are more numerous than the sand on the river bank. Our people will be attacked by concentrated fire as soon as they get close."
The Orc leader looked up eagerly at the several Ringwraiths in front of him who showed no reaction to the battle report, and asked tentatively:
"Sir, do you want to retreat?"
"No, keep attacking."
Finally, when the Orc leader proposed giving up, one of the Ringwraiths contradicted him.
"So what should we do next?"
"Just attack."
"But our attack is ineffective. If we continue like this..."
"I'll let you attack."
The Ringwraiths seemed a little impatient.
"My Lord, I'm afraid that's not possible. You have to come up with a solution, otherwise all the orcs in our army will be given away in vain..."
Gah——
Just as he was speaking, the Oak leader's neck was suddenly grabbed and lifted into the air.
"Who gave you the courage to go against my orders?"
"I just think that your order...is unreasonable..."
The Orc chieftain struggled to squeeze out these words from his throat.
“You should execute, not question.”
Seeing that the orc had been strangled to the point of foaming at the mouth, the Ringwraith loosened his grip a little.
Then he heard something that made him regret doing so:
"You are not our master."
"Including your master, that is just your master. Our master is much stronger. He is great, fiery, and comes from underground..."
Crunch.
Before he could finish his words, the Oak leader's neck was crushed into pieces by a huge force.
Pop.
The neck hit the ground first, followed by the unsupported body.
The other two Ringwraiths had no reaction to his behavior.
The Orc leader died quietly, and the Ringwraith who strangled him immediately grabbed a passing Orc soldier and said, "You, take the position of leader."
"Me, the leader?"
The Oak, who was missing an eye and didn't look very smart, pointed at himself, somewhat unbelieving.
"Yes, it's you."
The Ringwraith looked at him and nodded.
"Now go lead the army to attack."
"Yes, sir!"
The orc immediately lowered its head and half-knelt on the ground in response.
Obviously, his intelligence and size were not enough for his brain to think about complicated things.
"kill!!"
The new leader shouted and rushed forward, bringing new orders to the army.
And the Ringwraiths did not just stand there and watch.
"Let's launch a general attack."
One of the Ringwraiths suggested.
The sooner you finish your work, the sooner you can go back.
The other two Ringwraiths nodded, and the one who spoke the least stepped forward, looked up at the sky, and raised his hand.
There was a ring shining on it.
He was the only Ringwraith present with a ring on his hand.
Boom!
Thunder exploded in the sky, the starlight slowly disappeared, and a dark cloud was drawn in by some force, shrouding the entire earth in shadow.
At this moment, except for the riverside fort, everything outside the city wall became invisible and fell into pure darkness.
Only the vague outlines of movement could indicate that something was indeed moving outside.
The defenders on the wall drew their bows, not knowing where to attack or whether an attack was coming.
Inside the city, the light from lanterns and torches flickered and could no longer travel as far as before.
The three Ringwraiths emitted a sickly evil green light, and standing there, it was as if they were three rising evil green suns.
Panic spread like a disease.
Amidst the darkness and the sickly green light, a bright fiery red light suddenly lit up.
"Don't be afraid, their powers haven't been enhanced in any way, those are just illusions!"
Gandalf raised his staff high, and the flickering light on it dispelled some of the darkness around him.
It also illuminated the siege tower that had been erected.
Boom! The Orcs swarmed over the walls like creeping insects, and the soldiers rushed to meet them, fighting them in a tangle.
"Fight back! Fight back!"
Gandalf ran back and forth with his staff in hand, driving away patches of darkness.
Bang! Balin kicked an orc and couldn't help but sigh: "They have so many tricks. If it were any other territory, it would have fallen long ago."
"Fortunately, our main enemies back then came from the Misty Mountains, and fortunately, no Ringwraiths participated in the battle."
"Of course there won't be any Ringwraiths."
Gandalf then struck down another Orc with his staff, saying:
"You should thank Elrond and Lady Galadriel, as well as Saruman, for they drove away the Ringwraiths and the Great Enemy together, so that these things did not appear on the battlefield."
“This is the first time I’ve heard of…”
"Whether you've heard it or not, it's time to end this."
call--
Gandalf took a deep breath and said to Farodan on the other side, "Leave these dark magics to me. Watch for my signal later and prepare to command a counterattack!"
"good."
indistinct--
Just as he finished speaking, a blinding light suddenly appeared from the end of his sight in the north.
Fireworks, a white firework exploded in the air, briefly illuminating things in the distance.
There, a man stood on the high ground. He drew out a long sword emitting a blue glow and pointed it towards the battlefield.
Behind him was a large number of silver-white cavalrymen that seemed to have no end.
The brief glow of the fireworks faded, darkness returned to the earth, but the panic was gone.
Yes, perhaps no matter how brightly the bonfire burns, it can never illuminate the entire night.
But now, the sun is rising in people's hearts.
"oh!!!"
The soldiers were no longer confused, and all of them seemed to have an endless supply of strength. At this moment, not to mention the orcs that were as numerous as cockroaches crawling in front of them, even the three Ringwraiths in the distance that were emitting a terrifying aura no longer looked so scary.
The shadow hanging over the sky was broken by some power that burst out from the heart.
Farodan could not help but praise: "Your signal is really effective, Gandalf."
Gandalf, who still held his staff, froze.
"I didn't do this."
Boom…
In the darkness, a great noise came from the north, and the Orcs looked around in confusion, wondering what new changes had taken place.
Now, it is they who are in the dark.
"charge!!"
There was a deep blue sword in front, followed by a vast expanse of silver-white cavalrymen, who raised their weapons and pointed them at the dark mass of Orc army in front of them. They rode on armored war horses that could run at a speed of over 70 kilometers per hour.
"Rush towards darkness, rush towards despair!!"
"kill!!!"
