At the same time, the Dark Sage looked at everyone's shocked expressions, and at this time, he also spoke again: "Originally, if there had not been any previous accidents, when the number of contractors on both sides of us was about the same, the chance of us holding on to success would be at least half!" ”

"But now, not only are we less than one-third of the opponent in terms of overall numbers, but in terms of high-end combat power, we are only less than half of the opponent!"

"At present, in addition to me, there are only four top ten people in our space, namely the Intention Person, the Traveler, and the Imperial One!"

"So the next thing we need to do is to delay as long as possible for the orc army to reach the city of Minas Tirith!"

"And according to the information I just let my men hear, the bridgehead of Osgillias, which is being defended by the Gondor side above the Anduin River, has not yet been attacked by orcs!"

"Look here, everybody—the Osgillias bridgehead!"

As he spoke, he saw a holographic projection from the nightmare imprint of the Dark Sage again, and soon, the original city projection was replaced by a wider terrain projection.

I saw that the original city only occupied a small half of the topographic projection, and the place that the Dark Sage pointed to was the Anduin River, which was hundreds of meters wide and almost crossed the entire Middle-earth continent on the plain in front of the city.

And on this vast river, the only bridge that connects the two banks, is the Osgillias defended by the defenders of Gondor, and it is the ruins of a huge city that has long since been empty due to the frequent invasion of the orcs.

Only the thousands of Gondor defenders are still holding on here, because this is also the bridgehead for the Orc invasion of Gondor, and only here has a huge stone bridge connecting the two sides, which can be used by the Orc army to quickly transport hundreds of thousands of soldiers to the White City in the shortest possible time.

And if you want to rely on the rudimentary wooden ships on the orc side, then it will take at least nearly a day to transport these hundreds of thousands of orc troops!

Moreover, it is impossible to transport siege equipment such as large trebuchets and giant building carts in such rudimentary wooden boats, and if there are not enough siege equipment, then the difficulty of attacking the city has increased by at least ten times in vain with a large number of orc soldiers using flesh and blood and ladders and other tools!

And this is likely to result in tens of thousands of additional casualties among the orc soldiers!

As long as the Osgillias bridgehead is occupied, the orc army can not only quickly transport hundreds of thousands of troops to the other side, but also transport a large number of giant siege equipment.

Therefore, the strategic significance of occupying this place is naturally conceivable.

It's just that the defenders of Gondor are not stupid, and they can naturally see the strategic significance of this, so they have placed nearly a thousand elite warriors here, and at the same time, they have a large number of light trebuchets and archers.

And the width of the stone bridge across the two banks is only less than ten meters, which can be called a dangerous place where a man can not be opened, with a large number of archers and trebuchets of the Gondor defenders, even if it resists hundreds of thousands of troops, it can hold on for at least a few days.

Because on the ten-meter-wide stone bridge, at most a dozen soldiers can attack at the same time, so even if the orc army is dispatched, it can only use the tactic of refueling to consume the lives of the defenders little by little!

Therefore, for the orcs, the best way is to use a large number of wooden boats to transport thousands of orc warriors to attack the defenders of the bridgehead, but you must know that although the trebuchets deployed here by the Gondor are only light trebuchets, the stone bullets they throw are the size of basketballs, and it is almost difficult to build an effective bombardment on the city wall, but the simple wooden ships used to bombard the orcs are smashed one by one!

It can be said that a stone bullet can easily reimburse dozens of half-orc warriors on an entire wooden ship.

In fact, it is precisely because of this that in the plot, the commander of the half-orc side also used the double favorable weather of fog at night to successfully smuggle a large number of half-orcs to the bridgehead.

Therefore, then, I saw that the Dark Seer also told his blocking plan, that is, to send an elite team composed of contractors with summoning power and contractors with teleportation powers, to assist the Gondor defenders here in Osgillias to delay the attack of the orc army as much as possible, and for every day they delay here, the defenders of White City will have one less day to defend, and one more day to prepare logistics.

After all, for each additional day, the contractor could give the defenders more stones and timber for each additional day.

Whether it is for the besieging side or the defender, the materials such as wood and stone will never feel too much.

It is worth mentioning that the Dark Sage also clearly emphasized one point later, that is, the summoner sent out must be the kind with repeatable summoning power, not the kind of summoner that summons the beast dies in battle and is completely gone, but a summoner like the undead summoning of the night blade or the summoner of the elemental elf, even if all the summoned beasts summoned by his command are killed, as long as the MP value is enough at the end of the cooldown, the summoner that can be summoned again can be repeated.

After all, the purpose of assisting in the defense of the Osgillias bridgehead here is only to hinder the offensive of the orc army as much as possible, not to really fight a decisive battle here, so if those summoners are lost here when they are about to die and completely disappear summoning beasts, then in the subsequent urban attack and defense battles, these summoners will not only be able to stare dryly?

Although there is a personal grudge between Yefeng and the Dark Sage, after all, this is an important moment in the national war, and the personal grudge can only be put aside for the time being, after all, if it can't win this time, then all the contractors present will be wiped out by the angry C space.

Therefore, although this is a battle plan from the Dark Sage, Ye Feng also joined the support operation very decisively, but people like Fei Yuan, Jiang MM and others, of course, stayed here in Baicheng to complete various logistics tasks, and obtained as many contributions as possible to exchange for creatures to increase their own strength.

At the same time, they can also take the opportunity to complete milestones such as coolies and cooks, after all, it would be good to be able to increase their strength a little more before the decisive battle begins!

Finally, after some statistics, there were a total of twenty-three contractors who participated in the first support battle, including 8 summoners including Ye Feng, 10 water ice contractors and 4 earth mage contractors, and the last one was another top ten in addition to Ye Feng - Traveler!

Because the traveler has the ability to construct a teleportation magic array, although this magic array cannot teleport the contractor back into space, it can teleport the contractor from the bridgehead back to the White City.

It is worth mentioning that the ghost king of the Necronomicon and the ice warrior with the talent of the ice phoenix are also impressively listed, but the only pity is that the former Arbitrary Beast God did not enter this mission world because of the blood mist.

And when Nightfeng and the others went to the Osgillias bridgehead, at this time, under the advice of the Dark Sage's command, all the contractors with trap-type magic abilities will spend most of their time on arranging magic traps in the next time.

The words of the Dark Sage are also very clear, that is, before the orc army arrives in the city, a large number of magic traps should be placed on the plain in front of the city to kill and damage the enemy's living force as much as possible.

As for those who don't have magic trap abilities, they will each complete the logistics tasks in the city during this time, and try to get as many contributions as possible to exchange for creatures before the decisive battle begins, so as to increase their own defensive strength.

Subsequently, although the current contractors on the human side are one-third less than those on the orc side, and the high-end combat power is even less than half, in the end, the dark sage also gritted his teeth and transferred some elite contractors from the Necronomicony, plus some elite contractors who volunteered to participate, to complete the side quests.

It's just that instead of completing all 4 side quests, they only specialize in one of them, which is Side Quest B: Protect the protagonist Aragorn from successfully leading the arrival of Ghost Legion reinforcements.

It must be noted that among all the 4 side quests, only the success or failure of this one side quest can play a decisive role in the entire campaign!

Because of the biological characteristics of the Ghost Legion, they not only have a great chance of being immune to physical attacks, but also have an astonishing number of tens of thousands, and it is no exaggeration to say that these nearly 10,000 ghost soldiers can even wipe out hundreds of thousands of orcs at the beginning.

Therefore, for the contractors on the human side, the reinforcements on the side of the Ghost Legion are absolutely not to be lost, and the others, whether they are the cavalry of the Rohan Kingdom, the giant mammoth elephants of Haradlin, or the tens of thousands of Umba pirates, they can play a very limited role in siege warfare.

It is precisely because of this that even in the current disadvantaged situation, the Dark Seer still gritted his teeth and pulled out the elite troops to support the side quest of the Ghost Legion on the side of Aragon.

Not only does he want to ensure the successful entry of the Ghost Legion, but more importantly, to prevent the contractors on the Orc side from preventing Aragorn from getting support from the Ghost Legion, and even worst of all, killing the protagonist Aragorn and turning the Ghost Legion into reinforcements on the Orc side.

It's just that in a situation like this, the Dark Sage thinks it's impossible, with the strength of the contractor on the half-orc side, it's still possible to hinder the protagonist and others, but the probability of killing the protagonist is quite low.

After all, the strength of the protagonist Aragorn itself is not inferior to the combined strength of the two rings, not to mention the dwarf Golden Thunderbolt and the elf Legolas, the comprehensive strength of the three of them is equivalent to the combined strength of the entire five rings.

It is worth mentioning that the vicinity of the White City is a continuous mountain range, so mining stone is relatively easy for the contractor, but mining wood is much more difficult.

Near the entire White City was a huge and vast plain, and on top of this plain there were countless weeds at most, and as for the trees above a meter high, there were almost none.

As for the mountains near the White City, they were all bare, all rocks and no trees.

Therefore, if the contractors wanted to collect timber, they had to go to the Druadan forest more than ten kilometers away to extract enough timber.

It's just that in this era of basic travel, it is undoubtedly very difficult to travel dozens of kilometers back and forth and carry enough wood, even with the ability of the contractor, but considering that once the orc army arrives under the city, the contractors trapped in the city at that time, even if they want to mine, they will not be able to leave the city at all.

Therefore, no matter how troublesome and difficult it is now, the contractors can only grit their teeth and persist in doing it.

The words are divided into two ends, just when the contractors who stayed in the city were doing various tasks such as logistics and forging weapons, at this time, Yefeng and other elite squads also successfully came to the Osgillias bridgehead.

What caught their eyes at this moment was the ruins of the city, and there were almost no intact houses everywhere as far as the eye could see.

At the same time, as soon as they entered the ruins of the city, they were immediately discovered by the defending Gondor sentinels, and after a while, dozens of Gondor warriors surrounded Yefeng and them under the command of the officer.

But fortunately, when they revealed that they were the reinforcements summoned by Gandalf, these defenders also instantly showed admiration.

It can be seen that Gandalf's reputation in Middle-earth is also quite resounding, and in fact it is why he was able to take command of the city's defenders in place of Chancellor Gondor.

It is worth mentioning that Gandalf also cast the mark of Holy Light on the chest of each contractor, so the identity of Nightfeng was quickly confirmed.

Because the stone bridge above the Osgillias bridgehead can be said to be a dangerous place for a man to open, so the Night Blade and the others are not worried about the defensive force there, but directly come to the abandoned building on the bank of the river, because this is also the only place where the orcs land.

Because the elemental spirits summoned by the elemental altar have a certain duration limit, as for the elemental spirits, they only have a duration of a few tens of minutes.

Therefore, then, Night Edge also directly cast the ultimate ability on the undead suit - the door of the undead!

Open the door to the land of the undead, which will teleport a large number of undead creatures to assist you in the battle, depending on your will and effort.

The Gate of the Dead can be destroyed, giving it 100,000 health.

The Door of the Dead lasts for one hour, and the summoned undead creatures will not follow them out of the quest world after the Door of the Dead is destroyed or disappears, but will continue to stay in the quest world to assist the contractor in the battle until they die.
