Chapter 134: War War
The war began suddenly, and Gondor took Isengard. The dwarves and elves ambushed the orcs. The coastal fleet in the south took the initiative and began to encircle and suppress the Amba pirates. In just a few days, the coalition forces of Middle-earth suddenly attacked. Gave Sauron's side a series of heavy losses.
On Gondor's side, in Lin Xuan's magic school. Maybe it's because of Jason's role model. All the children began to pay attention to the actual battle. Magical literacy is improving rapidly. Lin Xuan moved the school to the Osak Tower, on the one hand, to let the children feel more magical atmosphere, and at the same time, it was also convenient for him to explore the tower comprehensively.
The core of the tower is located in its central part. But it can't be seen with the naked eye. In Lin Xuan's perception, the burning fireball seemed to be in a sense of being in a spatial gap. It is to exist in this world, but also to be free from this world. It looks like some kind of security measure to ensure that the core can't be easily harmed.
According to Lin Xuan's analysis, this core itself needs to be manipulated by linking people's consciousness. But the original owner is long dead. After he died, he even turned his consciousness to the core, hoping to survive in another way. But as I said before, the whole formation is not complete. Almost, that's it. completely cut off the possibility of the other party's survival.
The core is not subject to the control of any outsiders. Perhaps his original owner had never thought that he would actually die. If you want to forcibly control it, you will need a lot of time to change it slowly. Lin Xuan postponed this plan because a full-scale war in Middle-earth was already on the verge of breaking out.
The whole of Middle-earth is currently caught up in a peculiar kind of propaganda. The Gondor Empire defeated the evil wizard, as well as his legions of strong orcs. How many soldiers fought bravely, and how many generals commanded like gods, but there was no mention of the slightest divine blessing in the words. Conventionally, the first sentence should be the standard thank you to the gods.
I don't know when the temples of Middle-earth began to fall into ruin. The state is constantly weakening the influence of the gods in the people.
It's hard to say this question, but it's easy to say it. Belief in the gods is only a spiritual sustenance. The poorer the person, the deeper this sustenance becomes. And well-fed people, as well as upper-class people, are often just a formality. When the state began to bail out the poor people in large quantities, exempt them from taxes, and even provide the necessary rations for the winter. All the people were praising the merciful and great king. As for the gods, did they give me a bag of rice?
This is not only a military battle, but also an ideological war. Lin Xuan said that the political propaganda war was brought to this world. And the rulers of various countries are quick to carry it forward. It turns out that political propaganda is an innate ability for all those in power.
When Sauron's evil eye once again enveloped Middle-earth, the war finally began. It's just that this time the form faced by the alliance is not as desperate as in the original book. Hope needs to be pinned on a few hobbits. At least Sauron failed to obtain the One Ring, which led to his inability to control the Nine Great Rings through the One Ring, and at the same time suppress the Three Elven Rings.
King Elon's Ring of Air, as well as Keltrelan's Ring of Water, plus Gandalf's Ring of Fire, are all powerful artifacts, but they suppress Sauron's power to a certain extent.
The city of Osgeria was Middle-earth's first line of defense against Mordor, where the war began and quickly became a meat grinder on the battlefield. Sauron's dark magic created a large number of dark clouds that provided a supporting environment for his own orc legions. But the wildfire in Osgeria City also directly gave the Mordor army a head start.
Even in torrential rains, wildfires cannot be extinguished. This alchemical item was originally made for war. On the battlefield, the miserable green flames formed an eerie beauty in the torrential rain. The first offensive of Mordor's army was disintegrated.
Wildfires are not endless, and the soldiers defending the city need to be used in a controlled manner. So after suppressing the number of enemies in a wave, the war returned to the original white-knuckle battle. Countless orcs, barbarians, and mercenaries of fallen humans carried huge ladders and began to attack the walls of Osgeria.
It was a battle even more tragic than the Battle of Isengard. The quantity, quality, equipment of the enemy are not of the same grade.
Bai Cheng had received information about the anomaly of the Mordor army three days ago. De Nehau immediately made the decision to aid Osgeria. But with the traffic conditions of this world, it will take at least five days for the world to reach. Osgeria will be alone for a short time.
"The Duke of Hill has cleared the sea lanes, and rushing through the sea can shorten the time of the day. Ostella was equipped with a large number of wildfires, with gunpowder. In a short period of time, even a large number of troops will not be able to take it easily. ”
"Can we bypass them and go straight to Sauron's base camp?"
"It's hard, Sauron's stronghold is shrouded in his dark magic. The air there was toxin-laden and the eruption caused the heat to blaze. Only the orcs, and the fallen who believe in him, can live freely. If we want to enter the scope of the Doomsday Volcano, we must rely on the protection of the Elven Three Rings. Otherwise, the soldiers would have lost their combat effectiveness as soon as they got there. ”
"What about the elves?"
"They're not done yet. Their habitats are so scattered that it will take a little time. ”
"In that case, Lin, I need your magic legion to get to Osgeria first. Assist in the defense of the city. But to reserve the strength, mainly to prevent Sauron from doing it himself. No one but you can stand up to him head-on. ”
"No problem, I'll go and prepare it right away."
Nearly a year has passed since the last Battle of Isengard. All the students have grown tremendously, although the individual strength is still not enough. However, under Lin Xuan's special cultivation, their combined magic had already begun to show its power.
Giant mutated trolls appeared on the battlefield, and the Osgerian soldiers had to use wildfire once more. Their gates could not withstand the attacks of these behemoths. And it's hard to kill these mutant trolls with ordinary weapons.
However, after the violent explosion and flames, a roar of pain came from the flames. The giant trolls actually survived the attack of the wildfire. Looks like Sauron has learned a thing about it. Enables it to withstand a round of wildfire without dying. The soldiers defending the city were shocked and hurriedly ordered a second round of attacks. But it was already a little late, and the ogre swung his mace again and slammed it into the already battered gate. A one-man tall hole appeared.
Hundreds of barbarians, orcs, took the opportunity to enter the city gate and engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat with the soldiers defending the city.
Osgerian soldiers have guarded the frontier for hundreds of years, and every soldier has been baptized with iron and blood. Even if the opponent is a strong orc or a barbarian, they are not afraid. But the number of the other party is too much. The fall of the city gates was imminent, and the officers defending the city had already begun to consider retreating to the inner city.
At this moment, a violent explosion sounded in the direction of the city gate. I saw a few strangely dressed teenagers standing in front of the soldiers defending the city, blocking the barbarian attack for them.
