Chapter 138: The war never stops
Distance!
Black clouds were slowly pressing.
The wind and the flying dust filled the earth, and the sun also avoided it.
It was daylight, but it was like night.
"Open the gates!"
"Open the city gate~!"
The heavy and massive gate opened awkwardly, revealing only a small slit, but it was enough for the knight to gallop in unimpeded.
"Mordor's army, fifty miles away!
The Scout Knight roared all the way into the city, and the news that Mordor would come sooner or later could be said to be well known, so there was nothing to hide from this kind of news, but when the news of the enemy getting closer and closer kept coming, a kind of tension still spread in Horn Fort, and the air seemed to become serious.
The guards on the city wall are fully armed, holding the war contradiction card and looking into the distance, there is a person standing behind one of their wall battlements, the flag is under the strong wind, hunting and hunting, the city has almost become a military city, countless soldiers are busy, they are constantly carrying war materials, thanks to the preparation of several years in advance, the reserve of war materials in Fort Horn can almost be described as a sea of smoke, not to mention anything else, Fort Clarion will definitely not run out of ammunition and food.
The city was busy, the serious air spread all around, countless trebuchet positions were densely packed on the positions facing the outside world, and as the round tower-shaped horn fort continued to rise, in the observation hall at the top, the air here was a little more leisurely.
The empty hall was extremely quiet, and the few knights of the Guards were dressed in ornate knightly armor and delicate silky cloaks, their shields were behind their backs, and their hands held ornate war spears made of pure steel, and on the silver-white barrel was a wide spear blade that emitted a snowy glow, and they stood quietly in their seats like sculptures, as if they were completely integrated into the environment.
Lelouch wore a silver-black monk's robe, which was almost a slim-fitting robe of pure tones except for a very simple decoration.
At this moment, Lelouch looked at the sky in the distance, after capturing Fort Horn and becoming the master of Fort Clarifolia, Lelouch would come here every night to look into the distance, the direction of the official capital of Mordor, the direction of the Magic Tower, looking at where the fiery red light was brighter day by day, and then day by day the black clouds went out, but there was a dark cloud that never left, he grew stronger and stronger under the nourishment of the fiery red light, until it was so big that it could not be increased, and finally broke away, and then, drifting towards Fort Horn.
Lelouch knew that Mordor was coming.
Mordor, it's really here!
The battle of the White City is a fart for Mordor who has been cultivating for a hundred years, 100,000 orcs are just a number that can be discarded at will in the population of Mordor, with the help of the entire Middle-earth, how many half-orcs can Mordor have in a hundred years? 100,000? That's just a fraction of what is dispensable.
The wind, gentle here.
The solid stone pillars are sparsely arranged in the city circle, and the gaps between the stone pillars allow people to see the world in the distance unimpeded, and the gentle wind is hovering between the stone pillars at this time.
They raised the corners of Lelouch's robes slightly.
The weather is a little dry and cold, but it is also dry, the silky robe wraps the body, the comfortable touch, enough to make people feel relaxed, Lelouch has been standing here for a day today, he has witnessed the return of the herald knight, feeling the tension and busyness of the beings under his feet, he has done everything he can.
The sound of crisp footsteps sounded on the smooth marble floor, and there seemed to be only one voice in the huge hall and corridor, and the footsteps stopped outside the main hall, slightly hesitating:
"My lord, Mordor will arrive tomorrow. ”
Wang Zifeng stood quietly at the door, where was Wang Zifeng still wearing a gorgeous monk's uniform at this time, and his whole body was already wrapped in armor, as the leader of Horn Fort in terms of religion and internal affairs, Wang Zifeng should play a leading role, there is no concept of literati in Middle Earth, a warrior is not necessarily an official, but an official must be a warrior.
Wang Zifeng's armor is completely different from the infantry and knight armor of the garrison, but a kind of armor redesigned by Lelouch, after all, a lot of games have been played in later generations, one or two sets of gorgeous and practical religious-style armor, Lelouch still thinks of it:
This is a set of pure white armor, the armor is extremely strong, the outside is stainless steel plate armor, and on the inside, he also wears a close-fitting chain mail, in addition to the short placket cloak on the back, in the arms and joints of the first half of life, there is also a white decorative cloak, the helmet is similar to the infantry helmet, but the winged wings are changed to a golden cross, and the fully enclosed helmet is matched with the cross, so that these already tall priests look even more superior.
To be honest, at first Lelouch did not have much expectation of these warriors, in Lelouch's opinion, these monks were at most equal to the combat power of ordinary knights, but after a drill, this idea was completely changed, you can't believe that when a group of heavily armed monks held a huge hammer printed with a cross, regardless of the scene of charging towards the knights, that side shouted the holy name of the Son of God and the Lord, while fanatically wielding the hammer, completely indifferent to their own losses, after being rushed to the first two rows by the knights, these tall and mighty warriors first hammered the horses, and then shocked the knights with a hammer, the whole action was clean and neat, so not hesitate。
I have to say that Lelouch was correct when he first designed the church knight armor for the church, that is, the church has a certain ability to forge the body, and these martial artists are proof of it! (In fact, ancient China on the earth had forging technology, which is not very perverted, but it can exceed nearly half of the combat power of ordinary people!)
In addition to the thickness and practicality of the armor, the warriors can almost be said to be extremely luxurious, in addition to the silver white, the entire armor is only noble golden yellow, this combination makes the monks particularly conspicuous and eye-catching, in the battlefield this will undoubtedly reduce the survival rate, but for the monks, on the battlefield can not die in battle, it is simply a blasphemy against God.
Wang Zifeng's armor is specially made, much more refined than ordinary armor, coupled with the magic power and the cultivation of the church regardless of blood, the main style of this set of armor is not far behind, but it is extremely expensive and perfect, this set of armor is not forged by Leluxiu's garrison, but forged by the elf master invited by the church, although the elven armor is not suitable for large-scale mass production and maintenance, but it has to be said that the quality of their single piece is the best in terms of comprehensive performance.
After all, not any armor has the privilege of adding an expensive and scarce material like Mithril.
After Wang Zifeng brought the latest information, he quietly waited for Lu Luxiu's instructions, there was only one day left, and it could be said that it had reached the last moment.
Lelouch took one last look at the clouds in the distance, and finally spoke:
"How many people are here in Mordor?"
Wang Zifeng returned without hesitation:
"Preliminary estimate, 300,000!"
Mordor is indeed ready to move in earnest, the 300,000 heavily armed army is almost incapable in Middle-earth, even the current second-strongest country elves, they dare not face each other head-on, but right now, this 300,000 Mordor legion is coming to attack Fort Hornhorn, how can this not worry Lelouch?
Although the preparation has been prepared for a long time, but when all this is about to come, Lelouch will also hesitate and be timid.
Lu Luxiu calmed down his inner apprehension slightly, and turned to look at Wang Zifeng:
"Go ahead, follow the plan in advance, and spread the news throughout the heaven-sent land!"
If you want to win, it is impossible to win only by relying on the garrison, no matter how Lelouch calculates, the best situation is just a stalemate with Mordor, for Mordor it is just a main army that cannot be transferred elsewhere, but for Leluxiu, it is completely cut off from the possibility of development, and without the residual strength of those nobles behind him, Lelouch can only find a way to keep his own one-third of an acre, in this way, Lelouch has really become the watchdog of the God-given land?
So if you want to win, Lelouch has to use the power of the entire God-given land, he only needs to withstand the strongest attack in the early stage, and then he can use the noble alliance of the God-given land to go out of the city to repel the enemy, although even then the odds of victory are only five or five, but it is already the best situation that Lelouch can calculate.
....
The news of the comeback of the Mordor army swept the entire heaven-given land in an instant under the propaganda of the church, especially when they learned that Mordor had dispatched an army of 300,000, it swept the fear into the entire heaven and earth, and many people with a way have begun to drag their children and daughters along the Dragon River to migrate towards the Elven Forest of Angres, although the elves will not accept them, but at least here, even if it is only outside the forest, Mordor will not come over.
However, those who have a way are often only a few, and more people can only wait helplessly, and the nobles and lords above their heads still don't know what to do, let alone those of them who have never even stepped out of the grassroots peasants ten miles away from the village.
And the more at this time, the more empty the spiritual world is and needs to be redeemed, and the easier it is for the church to control a person at this time, so under the intentional traction of the church, the entire heaven-given land is actually very miraculously not frightened by Mordor, or rather, it is frightened and desperate, and begins to eat back!
Rabbits are in a hurry to bite people, let alone people.
Honest people generally don't get angry, starting a fire is not to die, under the propaganda of the church, peace is impossible to be peaceful, Mordor came this time only for the purpose of that is, to completely erase the human race, although Mordor is not this plan, the church actually does not know, but this does not prevent the church from saying so, after all, it is not clear whether to kill the Terran church, but it is certain to kill the church that is integrated with Lelouch!
