Heavy rain is coming.
Standing on the city wall, the prince felt extremely heavy-hearted. Under the dark night, he could see tens of thousands of orcs wearing heavy steel armor, holding spears and sharp blades, walking towards the fortress where he was. Although the walls of the fortress were strong enough to withstand any attacker's attack, he still did not feel at ease.
"My friend."
Just then, another man walked up to the prince.
"You seem disturbed."
"indeed."
Hearing Eikenbrand's question, the prince nodded and tightened the hilt of the sword at his waist.
"To be honest, I don't know whether we can win the war in the end, but no matter what, we will not surrender."
As he spoke, the prince looked towards the city wall, where the elven army was lined up neatly. They arrived at Helm's Deep before the sun set. It must be admitted that this was a boost for the Rohan army stationed in Helm's Deep. They had originally stopped expecting help from all sides. After all, Gondor was busy with its own affairs, the elves were secluded, and the dwarves had their own problems to deal with.
It can be said that now everyone should mind their own business and not worry about other people's problems.
Under such circumstances, the elves were actually willing to abide by the ancient covenant and send an army to fight alongside them. Facing these evil orc armies, they were really relieved.
But this is far from enough.
"What did the gentleman say?"
"He said he needed to think about it."
"Really..."
Hearing the prince's answer, Eikenbrand sighed and then patted the prince on the shoulder.
"I know what you are thinking. If that gentleman is willing to help, with the power of his huge metal chariot, the orcs here will not be a problem at all."
"yes……"
Faced with his friend's question, the prince had a strange expression on his face.
"It's just that after I came back, I realized that we forgot one thing..."
"Hmm? What's up?"
"...That gentleman's metal chariot...seems to be moving very slowly..."
"Well……"
Hearing this, Eikenbrand's face changed slightly. He then remembered that when they left the forest together, he and the prince also praised Fang Zheng's huge metal chariot. And at that time, the gentleman did say "this is already its fastest speed on the ground."
At that time, they were just trotting forward...
"...Well, it looks like we really have no hope."
As he spoke, Eikenbrand silently drew his sword. At that speed, he wanted to reach Helm's Deep - by that time, he didn't know if he would be in time!
At this moment, the Orc army has arrived at the walls of Helm's Deep fortress.
War is about to break out.
At the same time, just as Aikenbrand and Prince Rohan had thought, the Lightning was moving slowly along the hillside at a turtle-like speed that was completely inconsistent with its name.
"Can't it be faster?"
Ling sat in the chair, twisting and turning. She stared at the map on the screen, showing a bit of dissatisfaction.
"Since we set out, we've already had lunch and dinner, played some games, and even took a shower! And yet we're still climbing... How long will it take?"
"It will take at least six to seven hours."
Theo calculated the time and answered helplessly.
"Why is it so slow?!"
"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, when we first designed it, it was just a precaution. And considering the size of the Lightning and the terrain here, we have to find a relatively flat road to move forward..."
Tita also spread her hands helplessly. As she said, as a space battleship, the Lightning does not have the ability to cross the ground. The reason why it is equipped with ground and water accessories is to be on the safe side. Not to mention that although the area where the Kingdom of Rohan is located is mostly plains, the area near Helm's Deep is basically mountainous and hilly. In this case, they still have to take a detour. Otherwise, if the mountain is not climbed over, the entire Lightning will be broken into two pieces, which is really unlucky.
"You can go back to sleep."
Fang Zheng said with a smile.
"I'll call you when I get there."
"Well... okay..."
After hearing what Fang Zheng said, the little girls hesitated for a moment, then nodded. After all, children go to bed early, and they were tired after all the hard work. At first, they were excited for a while because they were going to participate in the war, but soon, the turtle-like speed of the Lightning completely extinguished the girls' enthusiasm.
As for Yuri and Qianhu, they had gone to bed long ago. They really had no interest in the war.
"Then I'm going to sleep first, big brother, please wake me up when we get there, okay?"
"Brother Fang Zheng, good night."
"Good night, Mr. Founder."
After saying hello, the girls left the command room one after another, the cabin door closed, and the lights dimmed.
"call……"
Looking at the tightly closed cabin door, Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he lower his head and look at the petite figure hiding under the table.
"Altina, they've already left."
"Huh?" (Really?)
Altina raised her head and stared at him, while her head was still swaying slightly back and forth.
"Yeah, I never thought you would do such a bold thing. Fortunately, they didn't find out, otherwise I don't know what would happen."
“Hmmmm…Hmmmm…Ugh!!” (Because I want the instructor’s…)
Altina hadn't finished her words yet, and then her whole body trembled violently, and then the girl's white neck kept shaking. After a moment, she reluctantly opened her mouth and licked her lips gently with her tongue. Then she let out a long breath of satisfaction, and a hint of confusion appeared in her eyes. Seeing this scene, Fang Zheng smiled slightly, and reached out his hand to gently touch Altina's tender cheek.
"What a greedy child you are. But it looks like you haven't eaten enough yet."
"Um……"
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Altina nodded, then she reached out, put her arms around Fang Zheng's neck, and sat on his lap.
"Instructor...please let me eat my fill..."
"Haha, okay, then I'll treat you to some hot milk today..."
In response to Altina's request, Fang Zheng stroked her shoulders down with both hands, then grabbed the girl's slender waist and pressed down hard.
The next moment, accompanied by Altina's sudden low moan, a fierce battle broke out in the deserted command room.
At the same time, in Helm's Deep, another equally fierce battle was taking place.
The orcs roared and rushed to the high wall. They set up iron siege ladders on the wall and launched round after round of attacks on the soldiers in front of them. The elven archers stationed on the wall also displayed their exquisite skills. One arrow after another shot into the gaps in the orcs' heavy armor, piercing their eyes and throats. But this was not enough. Although the elven archers had demonstrated their skills, the fearless orcs continued to climb forward. For a while, the two sides fell into a stalemate.
"That's all Saruman can do!"
The prince swung his sword and chopped down an orc who had climbed up the wall. Then he looked at his companions and said loudly. From the beginning of the battle to now, the two sides have been deadlocked for several hours, but the orc army still has not been able to capture the wall. After all, this is the fortress of the Kingdom of Rohan. If it is just this level of attack, they can still hold on.
"Be careful, that guy must have other plans...!"
At this moment, suddenly, a voice sounded not far from the city wall.
"Shoot that orc!!"
Hearing this voice, the prince turned around and saw a ranger standing by the city wall not far away, pointing down anxiously. Below him, an orc who looked like he was holding a torch was desperately rushing forward. Hearing the ranger's order, an elf quickly bent his bow and shot an arrow. However, the orc had no intention of stopping and continued to rush forward.
what is going on?
Seeing this scene, the prince felt a sudden chill in his heart. The orc was not holding a weapon, but for some reason, he felt some kind of extreme danger and fear from the orc!
"Shoot that orc, quick!!"
At this time, the ranger's voice became more and more anxious, and the prince rushed to the city wall, raised his longbow and aimed at the target. However, before he could shoot an arrow, the next moment, the orc rushed into a pit under the city wall.
Then, a deafening explosion sounded from the ground, and at the same time, the originally solid city wall also exploded.
The huge impact of the explosion caused both sides to fly backwards involuntarily, and the soldiers standing behind the city wall were also stunned by this sudden scene. Soon, as the explosion subsided, the orcs roared and rushed into the gap caused by the explosion in the city wall. They brandished their weapons and pounced on the soldiers in front of them.
"Everyone get ready! Stop them!!!"
Inside the city wall, the soldiers of Rohan were ready at the first moment. They raised their spears and pointed them forward. However, the orcs were not afraid at all. Facing the spears, they did not dodge or evade, but rushed forward directly.
“…Why would they do this?”
Seeing this scene through the monitor, Yuri and Qianhu were stunned. They watched as the orcs rushed directly in front of the soldiers, without dodging or hesitation, and let their bodies be pierced by the spears in their hands. And the soldiers did not stop their actions. Facing the weapons wielded by the orcs, they were also not afraid of death, roaring and rushing forward, and then being knocked to the ground.
"Aren't they afraid of death?"
Looking at the live broadcast of the battlefield in front of him, Qianhu couldn't understand it at all. He had seen so many people die, and so many more were dying, why didn't both sides intend to stop?
“Because they believe they are all fighting for something worth dying for.”
Fang Zheng stared at the screen and answered in a low voice. At the same time, he glanced at Altina, who was lying on the chair beside him, closing her eyes and falling asleep. He smiled and reached out to touch her hair. Under the light, Altina's belly was slightly bulging... Well, probably because she ate too much.
“Is this war?”
“This is war.”
Fang Zheng answered Qianhu's question decisively, then looked at Ling.
"How much time do we have?"
"There are still fifteen minutes to enter the battlefield."
"Very good, get ready."
"Yes, big brother!"
The heavy rain is still falling.
At this moment, the defenders in Helm's Deep could no longer hold on.
"We must retreat!!"
The prince grabbed the old king and shouted loudly, while the latter looked at the lost city wall and gritted his teeth.
"Retreat immediately, retreat to the fortress!"
"Okay, right away..."
“Boom boom boom…”
However, at this moment, suddenly, the ground began to tremble slightly, and for a moment, both sides of the battle stopped involuntarily. No one knew what happened. Was it an earthquake?
At this moment, the prince standing on the tower looked into the distance, and his expression lit up.
"Father, look over there!!"
While shouting, the prince stretched out his hand and pointed to the rear of the Orc army. The old king raised his head and looked in the direction the prince pointed. Then, he saw a scene that he could hardly imagine.
In the hills to the right of Helm's Deep, a dark, shining metal object appeared. It had eight wheels and looked like a huge siege vehicle. This strange object was so huge that it was almost as tall as his fortress.
Seeing the appearance of this monster, the Orc Legion and the soldiers of Rohan all stopped and looked at it in confusion. No one knew what this was. Could it be a new weapon of the Orcs?
However, at this moment, the strange chariot that climbed up the hill suddenly shone with light. At the same time, a strange, cold female voice sounded, echoing throughout the battlefield.
"MCVrepin."
"Ready for deployment."
"Building the Soviet Empire."
Along with this cold voice, the huge metal chariot suddenly began to deform. The steel plates on both sides of its body slid down and turned into a building similar to a city wall. At the same time, the entire chariot body flipped up, and the steel rolled, twisted, and shifted. In the blink of an eye, it turned into an extremely strange-looking building.
In the middle of it is a large silver-white sphere, with a pillar underneath. Surrounding this strange sphere are four small spheres.
What is this?
Before everyone could react, a rapid alarm sounded, and at the same time, the entire building flashed with bright red light.
"Warning, lightingstorm created."
“Boom!!!”
Thunder roared.
Lightning burst out from the clouds and turned into silver snakes that struck the ground.
In the blink of an eye, the entire battlefield outside the fortress was bombarded by lightning from the sky. Countless silver snakes of lightning whizzed down, turning the entire canyon into a silver-white color.
