Chapter 253 Victory?
What is despair?
The omnipresent darkness, the terrifying roars, the endless enemies coming from all directions, or the drowned light? Perhaps these are enough to make people feel terrified, but they are not enough to explain despair, because people still have the strength to fight, and even if the light no longer appears, they will not necessarily fail.
The ones who felt desperate at this moment should be the Orcs who were still attacking outside the city.
Wilderness, plains, cavalry versus infantry, raids.
This is the situation now.
In the darkness, a faintly flickering silver torrent pierced through the army of tens of thousands of Orcs right in the middle, drowning out their screams with the rumbling sound of horse hooves.
Even the three pale green light balls faded under this attack, and the three of them retreated quickly to avoid being affected by this torrent.
It's just that sometimes, when faced with some existence, retreating is obviously useless.
"Bud, reorganize the formation and charge again!"
Leaving behind an order, the figure at the front broke away from the team and rushed straight towards the three conspicuous black shadows emitting a conspicuous dim light.
In some cases, making your presence known can instill fear in your enemies.
But in another case, doing so will only bring greater terror to oneself.
Whoosh——
The three Ringwraiths all mounted their terrifying black skeleton horses and decisively chose to retreat, especially away from the person who was chasing them.
The situation has been decided. There is no need to struggle anymore.
"Reorganize the formation!"
On the other side, after a round of charge, the cavalry turned around and pointed their weapons at the battlefield again.
Bard opened his eyes wide, trying to distinguish the positions of his own side and the orcs.
It was so dark here that even though Bard was known as a master archer and had eyes as sharp as an eagle, he could only see the outline of the things in front of him.
Fortunately, the standard armor in the territory is brighter in color, otherwise it would be a disaster to fall in this environment.
"rush!!"
The formation was quickly arranged and the second round of attack was heading towards the center of the battlefield.
As for the Orcs, they seemed still in a daze, and no one gave any orders.
The first raid by the Cavalry Corps came without any warning or news, and there was no time to even turn around, let alone organize a corresponding formation to deal with the impact. Almost at the first moment of contact, the Orc army immediately collapsed.
Now that cavalry army has reorganized its formation once again, facing the impending second attack. It seems that as long as they respond in time, they can reduce the losses a little and the situation can still be slightly controlled.
Unfortunately...
The Ringwraiths are being chased by someone.
As for the command of the Orcs, the new leader, like the other Orcs, had no idea what he should do. He was filled with confusion and fear.
"charge!!"
So they were drowned by the flood amid their shouts.
“Fight back, fight back!”
As if he finally knew what he should do, the Orc leader shouted frantically and issued the few orders he knew, but it was all in vain. The army could no longer be reorganized, at least the Orcs were no longer able to fight back.
Only a small number of ogres whose skin was hard enough to bounce off knives or even produce sparks when chopped had some resistance. They could just stand there and stop the momentum of the charging horses, or even knock over both the horses and the people.
The few remaining behemoths also showed the same trend, but after all, most of them were killed in the siege, and there are not many left, so they cannot pose much threat.
Seeing several more people being blown away, and both the people and the horses falling to the ground dying, Bard turned around, accelerated, raised the extremely sharp spear in his hand, and charged at the giant beast.
roar!!
The giant beast raised its arms, which were thicker than trees, and was determined to give this ignorant human a lesson that would hurt him to the bone.
Just as the two sides were about to exchange blows, Bard held his breath and suddenly threw the spear forward !
A cold light flashed in the air, and in an instant it crossed a distance of dozens of meters and pierced straight into the chest of the giant beast.
call--
Bud quickly lay down on the horse. The huge arm whizzing towards him brought a gust of wind, blowing his hair into a mess.
The giant beast staggered and fell in the direction of its arm.
That blow obviously hit its vital point.
“Well done.”
On the city wall, Farodan couldn't help but applaud.
"He's always got great aim."
Gandalf echoed.
"You know him?"
"Of course I know him. He is Bud, the manager of the River Valley. I am even more surprised that you don't know him?"
Gandalf looked a little surprised.
"He came to the Roadside Castle party last time. Didn't you see him then?"
“I was looking at the stars.”
"Uh, two of you."
Balin interrupted their conversation and said, "Never mind the stars. Should we go out and help now?"
"That's right."
Boom!
The stones blocking the city gate were knocked open, and the soldiers rushed out roaring. Their excited looks and thunderous shouts made people's blood boil.
Apparently, after seeing the return of the lord and the charge of the cavalry corps, these guys were all exhausted.
Defense has never been the strong point of the people of Roadside Castle, and they will prove it to their enemies.
"Come back, you guys!"
Whoosh——
The sound of fireworks rang out, and Levi put on his elytra and rushed forward, blocking the Ringwraiths directly. The moment he landed, he immediately changed back into the nether alloy armor to avoid overturning.
Ouch——
The three black horses neighed, and they were instinctively afraid of the humans in front of them.
Li Wei pointed his sword forward and asked, "Who will come first, or come together?"
Can't avoid it.
The Ringwraiths looked at each other in silence.
It doesn't matter if I die once, the mission is completed anyway...
They dismounted and drew their weapons.
"It looks like they are preparing to come together."
hiss--
Three different screams intertwined and entangled, and the rune shield on Levi's body lit up, blocking the impact, but he was still affected by a poisonous buff.
There was no time for him to drink honey or milk, as three Ringwraiths had already rushed in front of him from different directions, swinging their poisonous blades. Two of them even activated their Aetherial ability, trying to go through the armor and hit his flesh directly.
Only the Ringwraith with the ring on his hand did not do so. Apparently he had some experience and knew that in front of the rune shield, all magical attacks were futile.
Boom! The amber light blocked everything out, and Levi quickly swung his sword, but the familiar nameless Ringwraith in front of him dodged it.
He condensed an axe and hammer, as if he wanted to force Levi to fight with a knife to gain an attack opportunity for his teammates, and Levi swung his sword as expected, as if he really intended to fight him head-on against the attacks of the other two Ringwraiths.
Just as the sword and the axe were about to clash—
Levi canceled the sword swing.
He switched his inventory on the spot, and a shield suddenly appeared in his hand.
Boom! The shield went into cooling mode, and the nameless Ringwraith who swung down the axe and hammer was surprised to find that his prepared combo was interrupted, and his hand was bounced back uncontrollably for a short time.
In just a short moment, Levi had cut back his sword and took advantage of this opportunity to stab forward.
Boom!
Flames rose, and the Ringwraiths fell to the ground screaming, their voices filled with pain.
The other two——
Just as Levi was about to deal with the remaining two Ringwraiths, a cry suddenly sounded in the air.
He looked up and found that a huge eagle had appeared in the sky in the distance at some point, and below the eagle, a golden figure on horseback was galloping towards this place.
He stopped on the high hill where Levi had stood before and shouted, "Allies, I'm here to help you!"
Then he raised the sword in his hand and charged downwards.
As he continued to charge, a dazzling light burst out from his body. In the eyes of everyone, his figure seemed to have suddenly grown much taller, or at least looked bigger than before.
Wherever his footsteps went, the dark clouds and illusions in the sky were forced back by the light from his body.
"This guy is really a big light bulb. Wherever he goes, he is the center of attention." Levi was a little helpless.
When that man appeared, the Ringwraiths seemed to be frightened out of their wits, and they immediately tried to hide in the shadows and escape from the battlefield.
It's just obvious that the people around them won't allow them to do so.
"Who gave you the courage to be distracted when facing me?"
A long sword pierced through the armor and set the Ringwraith on fire as he tried to turn and flee.
When a mortal fights a Ringwraith, the latter can make many mistakes, but as long as they can hit the mortal once, they can make him suffer so much pain that he loses the ability to fight.
The same applies if you replace the words in this sentence and use them to describe the current situation.
When the Ringwraiths fight Levi, Levi can make many mistakes, but as long as he can hit them once, he can set the Ringwraiths on fire and temporarily lose their ability to fight.
And if there is no other accomplice to help, temporarily losing the ability to fight in front of Levi is basically equivalent to returning to Mordor.
When the figure with dazzling light on his body approached, all the Ringwraiths had been killed, leaving only a pile of burnt and broken armor.
"Am I here in time?"
“It’s just in time.”
Looking at the elegant golden-haired elf in front of him with a faint glow on his body, Levi was speechless.
"Glorfindel, why are you here?"
Yes, this was none other than the powerful Elf Lord of the First Age who had been bathed in the light of the Two Trees, whose combat power was equal to that of a Balrog, and who had been living in seclusion in the valley since returning to Middle-earth.
In terms of combat power alone, he is probably at the same level as Levi now.
When this brave elf crossed the battlefield and came to Levi, the dark clouds in the sky also dissipated.
With the light of the reappearing stars and moon, the warriors were able to focus their attention on the entire battlefield, and they were able to strangle the Orcs more efficiently and move more freely.
"And the Great Eagle, when did the Great Eagle come?"
The soldiers' vision was clear, but Levi was confused.
"It was right behind you. Not long after you left with the soldiers, the big eagle arrived. It brought some news."
Glorfindel dismounted and said, "But since you guys are running so fast, I can only chase you from behind. You should know that not all horses can run that fast."
The full-speed horses in Roadside Castle are slightly inferior to the fine horses selected by the elves of the Valley.
"information?"
Levi got the point.
"Tell me more."
——All this happened before the outbreak of this war.
