The battle for Isengar was not over so soon, and because the United Kingdom of Alicia had taken a fancy to Saruman's magical creature, the production base of the Orc Army, they did not agree with the Shepherd Treebeard's suggestion: to pry over the dam and flood Isengard!

Instead, it adopts the method of combining tree herders and tree beards, plus muskets and cannons to advance layer by layer, intending to gradually eat away at the enemy's living force and ensure the integrity of this strange creature manufacturing base to the greatest extent.

And when the combined forces of the Second Alician Legion and the Treants in Isengar began to tear down the high walls around the Orzek Mage Tower, and launched a raid on the base in the walled area of the Isengard Tower and cleaned the orc production base under the ground, here at Fort Horn in the Valley of the Rohan Helm in the southeast, the Hussar King of Xiyodon, who originally believed that the stone castle was impregnable, was once again slapped by reality!

The gunpowder pioneer, Saruman, who graduated from the magic class, and his strong orcs used a bunch of large cannons to blow up a section of the city wall, so that countless strong orcs instantly attacked the protective wall of Horn Castle!

Compared to the United Kingdom of Alicia, which can use those black powders rationally and scientifically, and use gunpowder and related technology to make muskets and cannons, the evil white-robed wizard Saruman and his strong beasts who can also make gunpowder and have become grainy are much more magical and unrestrained in their application!

Because, due to their poor steel and forging processes, coupled with the urgency of time, they gave up the kind of foot-skimming weapons that they imitated Alicia nets and made before, and when the technology could not break through for the time being, they simply made those particles of black powder into large iron bombs!

Then, they used the suicidal attack mechanism of the strong orcs to carry them with their flesh, and finally ignited them with human flesh, and they brutally destroyed the Horn Fortress, which the king of the Rohan kingdom called himself impregnable and dared to claim to have never been captured in hundreds of years!

Moreover, on the first night of the attack on Fort Clarion, when it was still dark in the morning, all the defensive fortresses and parapets on the perimeter were captured, and in one fell swoop they broke through to the gate of the last mountain fortress!

This made the nomads of the Rohan Kingdom, who were cowering at the top of Hornfort, and the remnants of the elven coalition who could only bend bows and shoot arrows and play handsome, feel the power of magical pseudo-technology for the first time!

It was those self-detonating cannon battles that made it only take half a night for the strong orcs to retreat into the last mountain fortress, losing all the outer walls and defensive arrow forts and other facilities, leaving only the main body of the mountain fortress and the last gate for the refugees to concentrate......

"Drink!"

"Drink!!"

Boom! Boom!!

At this time, in the hill fortress of Hornfort, except for Aragorn, who was still actively directing the battle, King Xiudon and some others were sitting on the ground with a sad face, listening to the excited shouts of the orcs outside the gate, and the violent crash that followed against the last gate.

"This fortress of Rohan, which is said to never fall, this magnificent horn fortress built by the kings of the past generations, is about to fall......"

"It's all coming to an end......"

After watching the dozen or so soldiers in vain with logs and weights, and even their own bodies against the cast-iron frame of the solid wooden structure, Hiudon knew that it might only be a matter of time before it fell.

"No more useless struggles, it's pointless!"

When the loyal commander of the guard bandaged his wounds, Heudon laughed at himself and said this to Aragorn, who was still desperately commanding his soldiers to hold the gate.

"Nope! Heyordon, you said that as long as there are people guarding it, this fortress will not be breached?! ”

After Legas hurried over, carrying a thick plank to continue the defense of the gate, Aragorn snarled dissatisfiedly at Siyodon, who was the first to be discouraged:

"As long as they are still defending and fighting to the death, we haven't lost yet!"

Now that life and death are at stake, Aragorn doesn't care about any etiquette, and he doesn't plan to give this Xiudon hussar king the slightest face, so he almost pointed at the other party's head and scolded him!

On that day, he was determined to abandon the capital city of Idoras and lead most of the nearby Rohan refugees to take refuge in the Valley of the Holy Helm to avoid a head-on battle with the Orc army! Saying how tough this fortress is, how impenetrable it is, is also his Xiyudon!

But the result? It's not dawn yet, it's only half a night, and the strong orcs have already attacked this last gate!

And these people, now they are all blocked here, and they have directly become a group of turtles in an urn, and they have nowhere to run if they want to! Once this gate is breached, after tens of thousands of strong orcs outside, they pour in, and no one here, whether they are men, women, young or old, humans, dwarves or elves, don't want to live alone!

"They're coming in!"

"Yikes!!"

"God is above, who can come and save us......"

After hearing the louder and louder slogans of the orcs and the banging on the door, the old and weak women and children hiding in the depths of the fortress began to scream and become confused, and from time to time there were bursts of children's cries and the prayers of some old people, and the scene became worse for a while......

If it was in peacetime, maybe there were officials or soldiers trying to maintain order? But now, when they are about to be breached to the last fortress, they don't want to care anymore. After all, once the gate is breached by the orcs, no matter how much they do, it will be meaningless!

When the time comes, none of them, from kings and nobles to commoners, women and children, will be able to escape the ultimate fate of being destroyed!

“……”

With a slight sigh in his heart, Xiyoton couldn't bear to pinch his head a little after glancing at those refugee doors. Perhaps, he, the hussar king of Rohan, will soon become the last king of Rohan?

What he never expected was that he Xi Youton, in the end, would fall into the name of a king of a dead country......

"Is there any other way for these women and children to escape first?!"

After watching the chaotic scene of the refugees for a while, Aragon hurried over to Siyodon and asked.

In fact, Aragorn has wanted to ask this question for a long time!

He thinks that as long as Rohan's previous kings are not stupid, there should always be one or two hidden back roads in this fortress, right? As long as there is a way back, he can safely continue to command the soldiers to resist, and then when the gate is breached, he can also run away without dying in this bullshit fortress built by the Rohans!

Aragorn believed that no one would build such a fortress with no way out, unless that man was a fool! What about the cunning rabbit or the three holes, let alone the person who can think?

No matter how bad it is, there should be one or two secret passages here that can be used to escape for your life in a critical moment!

“……”

“……”

As he asked, Aragorn, who was busy coordinating the soldiers guarding the door, turned back and saw the two silent and ashamed Rohan Hussars and the commander of the guards, he sighed in his heart and secretly screamed badly.

"Is there really no other way out?!"

After reinforcing his tone, Aragorn was almost half frightened to death by the reaction of the two!

These fools of the Rohanate, did they really build a fortress like a cemetery? They're so stupid that they don't even leave a back road for themselves?!

"There is a trail that leads to the mountains behind......"

"But neither we, nor these women and children, will not be able to escape! Those strong orcs, they are there too many! It won't be long before they catch up and slash us to the ground......"

Under Aragorn's questioning, the king's head of the guard finally revealed a secret passage.

It's just that the secret passage is too narrow and rugged to allow only one or two people to go alongside, and the horses will definitely not be able to get through.

In this case, how many of the thousands of refugees can escape? Even if they run away into the mountains, what good will they be? Those strong orcs all over the mountains, they don't even have to chase them from the secret passages, as long as they go directly over the mountains and mountains, they can easily catch up with them!

“……”

"Drink!" "Drink!!"

Boom~! Boom!!

Outside the door, the orcs were still shouting slogans excitedly and slamming hard against the gate of the last fortress that the Rohans relied on.

Because, they all know that in this mountain fortress, there are countless living human women and children! They crave to eat their sweet flesh and blood, and to listen to their screams and wails, and to use each other's blood, with bloody handprints, to stain their dirty armor red!

"Drink!" "Drink!!"

Boom~! Boom~!!

"That's a ......"

Damn it!

Aragorn looked at the soldiers who were wailing and clinging to the gate, and the gate that was becoming more and more overwhelmed, and he knew that with their two thin iron and wooden gates, he would not be able to hold out for long!

Now, the sky outside has begun to lighten, and perhaps, when the sky brightens and the first rays of the morning sun shine through the window, this place will be completely overrun by the orcs?

"Hurry up! Hurry up and strengthen the gate first! ”

Their time is running out, even if they want to retreat, they don't have much time, and if they run, they won't be able to run out of many people! When the time comes, it will become a hell of flesh and blood for humans, and at the same time, it will become a venue for the of the powerful orcs!

Bastard! What exactly is to be done now?

Aragorn's mind is beginning to turn sharply, and he is thinking hard about what to do, desperate to find a good way to break the current deadlock.

"It's useless...... We can't fight them now......"

Heudon had already begun to think that he would die here with dignity like a qualified king, not be on the run, and be beheaded like a lost dog by the orcs!

"Nope! We can actually rush out ......."

"That's right! You can rush out with me! Even if it is just to fight for the women and children for that slim glimmer of life? ”

This is also a silver lining for Aragorn!

As long as they mounted their horses and rushed out condescendingly along the gates and the stone paths, unexpectedly by the enemy, perhaps they would have a chance to break through the army of the powerful orcs outside who were eating the corpses of the dead in battle.

Anyway, it's better than waiting here to die, right?

"Woo~Woo~~~!"

At this time, when the sky was about to dawn outside, a long sound of trumpets faintly came in, which was particularly pleasant in this pre-dawn moment.

"Who the hell could it be?!"

Hearing the strange sound of the trumpet, all the people, including Aragorn, Hiudun, and the other soldiers and refugees, ran quickly to the row of castle windows, and began to crowd together, trying to see who had come here.

Because, they knew, that strange and crisp trumpet sound, it was definitely not the war drums of the orcs, or the terrifying terror of the wolf howl, nor the bull horn of the Gondor Kingdom, nor the elves, dwarves, or any other force they were familiar with!

"...... that?"

"That's Alicia ......"

Then, facing the faint light of the rising sun, Xiudun saw that at the mouth of the valley of the Holy Helmet, there were two huge white vulture banners with gold on a red background rising from the edge of the sky, and they were being held high by two cavalrymen in red armor, and appeared at the mouth of the valley directly behind the battlefield of the Valley of the Holy Helmet.

In the palace of Idoras, the likes of Heydon and Aragorn, who had the privilege of seeing this banner, quickly recognized it!

When the two red-armored cavalrymen holding the huge banners stood still, a beautiful figure riding an unusually tall and majestic white unicorn, wearing golden armor and a red cloak, finally trotted into the middle of the two flags.

"Is that her?"

"That's really the United Kingdom of Alicia......"

Aragorn, who was about to convince Heudon to rush out of the imminent Horn Fortress and engage in a decisive assault with the orcs, saw this surprise from a distance for the first time.

"Queen Orfina ......"

Heyudon pronounced the name, and he remembered it well.

They, the army of the United Kingdom of Alicia, which he was not very optimistic about in the first place, they really came here as promised? It's just that they can really beat the tens of thousands of strong orcs who are besieging inside and outside the Horn Castle?

In this regard, while Xiyoton is lucky, he also has a faint suspicion.

……

"Huh? It looks like there are a lot of people, but what's the use?! ”

Looking at the mixed force in the distance, which was densely packed with strong orcs and a small number of Denland barbarians, Orfina felt that the number of people placed here by the other party was at least thirty or fifty thousand, right?

It's a pity that the other party is so stupid that they didn't even send basic guard troops, and they crowded all these troops into the Holy Helmet Valley, and they blocked the back road all of a sudden, there is nothing more stupid than this!

"Kelly, you immediately lead three hundred musketeers and all the lark lancers to block that little gap slope on the left."

"Today, none of these monsters want to run!"

With a smile on her face, she pointed to a steep slope further down the valley of the Holy Helm, and Orfina spoke coldly.

"Take a detour now, now!"

Then she gave an order to a female officer who had followed her and had caught up on a war horse.

Orfina felt that the terrain of this Holy Helmet Valley was very good, it was all grassland, the terrain was flat, the field of vision was wide, and there were no boulders or trees to cover it, which was very suitable for their musketeers to exert their full strength!

Moreover, the situation is even better at the moment: in this valley of the Holy Helm, the only way out of this valley is to escape from it, except for the entrance that he is now blocking and the mountain castle that has not yet been completely breached, and there is only a very steep and not too wide small gap in the distance, in the upper left near the castle?

Now, as long as she sends a few musketeers to block it condescendingly, Orfina believes that even a hundred thousand strong orcs will not be able to rush easily, right?

"Yes! My Majesty! ”

Kelly understood the importance of the steep gap at a glance, so she knew that the task was important, so she didn't say much, and rode away as soon as she turned around.

She was going to lead three teams of musketeers and two teams of 'lark' lancers, a total of more than 500 people, to set out at once, and defend the place until the orcs discovered the importance of the gap!

This is just like what their queen just said, today, the tens of thousands of strong orcs here in this Holy Helmet Valley, they are already real turtles in the urn, one counts as one, and no one wants to run!

"Herald: 'Wrath of the Goddess' musketeers, step forward a hundred yards, five lines, and begin to line up!"

Seeing her female bodyguard lead her troops on a detour, Orfina gave orders to the other remaining lieutenant.

Then, looking at Aragon from the window of Fort Clarrum, Theudon and the others were astonished to find that on the edge of the sky at the mouth of the Valley of the Holy Helmet, a large group of men and women without any armor or blades, but only wearing red tight-fitting cloth clothes, strange wide-brimmed denim hats, and strange iron rods, according to the strange beating of gongs and drums, stepped on neat formations and steps, and divided into dozens of neat square formations with five sparse battle lines of less than 3,000 men. Quickly and completely blocked the rear exit of the Valley of the Holy Helmet!

"Groyin! Immediately build an artillery position on a high place, unload those cannons, and aim the guns in the direction of the inside of the Valley of the Holy Helmet, and I will only give you ten minutes!" ”

This time, due to the hurry of coming, they only transported only thirty 'Nemesis' cannons in a carriage, but Orfina felt that this amount was enough to block the exit here in the Valley of the Holy Helmet!

If they wanted to, they could even bombard that Hornfort right here?

"Aha! Look ahead, Her Majesty the Empress Orfina! ”

As soon as Orfina finished speaking, a short old dwarf screamed and ran quickly backwards.

If it was to fight those human towns in the north, maybe Groyin might use some excuse to prevaricate, or maybe he was not very motivated or something.

However, if he fights strong orcs or half-orcs like he does now, then he won't have the slightest problem! He assured that under his professional command, those cannons would be able to fire quickly and accurately when they were fired!

Anyway, these high-performance cannons were created by the skillful hands of their dwarves, and he knew their data and various properties very well!

"The rest of the troops, immediately set up defensive positions in the rear, and keep a close eye on any enemies that may come from outside!"

It's not too safe here in the Rohan Kingdom right now, and there are small forces of orcs and denlanders everywhere! After all, the current Denlanders have all been driven to Rohan territory by them!

Moreover, on the way here, they had encountered small groups of orc raiders or wolf cavalry many times, so Orfina was not at ease with her rear.

Therefore, she ordered on the spot that the troops of the Dengdan cavalry, heavy infantry, rangers and militiamen, who had no combat mission, let the troops of more than 4,000 people be strictly guarded against any possible threat in their rear, and they only needed to hold the rear road.

"Yes!"

"Yes! Her Majesty! ”

After receiving the order, several noble generals, old and young, who were formerly members of the Free Council of Illyad, gladly took the order and left. They would be ordered to form a number of defensive camps and arrange their formations not far behind the main musketeers and artillerymen, which of course would take a long time.

“……”

"Is there no one in their kingdom of Alicia? How did even those delicate-looking women come into battle? ”

"What kind of weapon are they holding in their hands? An iron rod tied to wood? Why don't they even have basic armor? How can you play against those powerful, bloodthirsty orcs? ”

"No, their formation is too loose...... Moreover, the most elite armies of ironclad cavalry and infantry corps actually began to retreat? Does that woman really know how to fight? ”

At this time, after seeing the distant scene from the window of Fort Clarrum, some refugees or generals began to talk about it.

……

"Ahaha! Stupid humans! Even these less than 10,000 people dare to block our back road? ”

"You, and you! Those who take you, let me break them up immediately! Kill them all! ”

At this time, a strong orc leader who was naked, without a piece of armor, holding a large knife with a sharp hook in one hand, and gnawing on his arm in the other, stepped forward a few steps and kicked several small leaders who were grabbing food and gave orders.

"And you goddamn idiots, don't stop, keep attacking! Smash that broken wooden door for me! ”

"Did you hear that? Inside this castle, there are countless delicious meats! Those women are much more delicious and tender than these men outside! ”

After seeing several of his men run out of the city wall and into the troops behind them, and start shouting for the chaotic orcs to regroup and turn to the valley mouth that was about to attack the Valley of the Holy Helm, the orc general turned his head in satisfaction and shouted insults at the soldiers who were hesitating to continue banging on the door.

"Whew!"

"Woooooooo

After hearing the scolding and temptation of the generals, the strong orcs who had been stunned finally cheered again, and began to shout their slogans of unknown meaning again, intending to continue to hit the last gate of Horn Fort!

At this moment, outside the walls of Horn Fort, a trumpet and the shouts of the orc soldiers rang out.

"Drink! Hi! ”

"Drink! Hi! Hi! ”

It didn't take long for the already chaotic orcs outside Hornfort to finally form a fairly neat phalanx of spears or swords and shields again under the kicking and insulting of their respective officers.

Each brandished an extra-long spear several yards long in their hands, or those iron shields and large knives, and began to shout neat slogans, rushing in the direction of the mouth of the Holy Helmet Valley, towards the strange enemies.

"Huh? Dense phalanx, still steadily advancing? ”

"Do you want to break through my musketeers with these strong orcs of less than 10,000 men? This kind of tactics has long been backward! ”

Riding steadily on top of her white unicorn, Orfina looked at the army of strong orcs who were slowly breaking away from their large army and slowly pressing towards her side like a black ocean, and then began to drive the unicorn under her feet with disdain, and ran to the middle of the first battle line in front of the musket phalanx.

Today, she Orfina is going to personally command this battle!

She's going to slaughter these orcs, and then let the Rohans in the Valley of the Holy Helmet take a good look at the strength of their Alicia United Kingdom!

She wants to let the Rohan people in the Valley of the Holy Helmet understand that when the time comes, they Rohan only need to be honest and be a subordinate country!

"Foolish orcs, get ready to enjoy the baptism of the 'Wrath of the Goddess'!"

Here, she has nearly 3,000 of the most elite 'Goddess's Wrath' Minnie musketeers, and the battle line they form is not something that these 10,000 or so strong orcs can easily break through!

In the past, when Orfina was besieging the city outside of Issinger, their Minnie rifles, which had an accurate killing range of nearly 600 yards and an effective killing distance of up to 1,000 yards, had withstood the test of actual combat!

When the strong orcs on the other side, their crude and relatively thin plate armor could not withstand the 17.8 mm large-caliber cone bullet of the Mini rifle!

"Huh! Come on, come closer......"

After waiting for a long time in front of the battle, it was not until she saw that the strong orcs had approached their battle line and approached a distance of about four hundred yards, and at the same time, she had already smelled the thick stench emanating from the other party's body, and then she sneered and pulled out the golden sword pinned to her waist and slowly raised it above her head.

Today, here, Orfina plans to first annihilate these 10,000 strong orcs who have escaped from the attack of the large army!

She's going to put them three hundred yards away and start shooting and firing! When the time comes, whether the other party continues to move forward, or turns around and runs away and retreats, there is only one dead end!

"That woman, that distance is still there, what the hell does she want to do? Don't...... Are they all crazy? ”

The hussar king Heyudon looked at it for a while, but he couldn't understand it. The opponent's current tactics and command are different from anything he knows or has experienced!

“……”

"I'm sorry, Sheydon, I don't quite understand what they're trying to do that......"

In Fort Horn, Aragorn and Theudon looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Whether it is the battle-hardened hussar king Heudon, or the former high-ranking general of the Gondor Kingdom, Aragorn does not understand! They didn't understand, what the woman was doing that, for? What was it that gave her that inexplicable confidence?

Look at the hordes of orcs, who are already close to their formation for nearly three hundred yards, and are about to speed up and charge!

And they, until now, their strange soldiers with iron rods in their hands, are still indifferent? Not only are they still lined up in that ridiculously sparse battle line, but they still haven't fired a single arrow? Those people, what the hell are they doing?

If they weren't mistaken, there were at least one or two thousand elite heavy cavalry and plate infantry in their rear, right? But what about the armies now? Why don't you send them to the front line to withstand the orcs? On the contrary, send those ridiculous soldiers with iron rods and cloth armor?!

"Hey! I said, is there anyone who can help me? Or, who can tell me: what's really going on out there!? ”

"What the hell are you talking about? Is it that Alicia's guy who came? What did they do? ”

While the others were huddled around the stone window to watch the excitement and start talking to each other, the dwarf Jin Li was jumping to his feet in the back of the crowd.

Actually, it's not that he can't squeeze in, it's just those damn stone windows, their height everywhere doesn't match his height, and even after squeezing in, he can't see anything outside!

In Jin Li's opinion, these damn Rohan people, they are too unconcerned about the international spirit! Didn't they also build some shorter, more humane windowsills for their dwarves when they built castles?!

"Humph! Attention everyone, get ready! First Row ...... Fire!!! ”

When the enemy's phalanx finally approached within the predetermined attack distance of three hundred yards, Orfina's sword-holding right hand finally swung it at the strong orcs whose hideous faces could almost be faintly seen!
