Chapter 71: Mordor (2)
World of the Ring, Middle-earth, Mordor, Outside the Black Gate.
For three days in a row, the human army had been bombarding Mordor with catapults, and in three days the catapults had dropped one hundred and fifty carts of stone projectiles at Mordor's shield, thirty each, for a total of four thousand five hundred stone bullets. Every day there were fifty catapults, and after throwing all the bullets, the human team began to retreat.
And today is the fourth day, just when the orcs of Mordor thought that the human army would still be the same as usual, the formation on the human side was also arranged, but unlike in the past, in addition to the logistics personnel, the army of 500,000 had already been dispatched.
The front row of 100,000 cavalry was in the center, flanked by 100,000 infantry troops each, in the back row were 200,000 elven archers, and at the end were the 200 catapults. The fifty siege towers and the two siege vehicles Grund were distributed among the infantry.
At the same time, the reincarnators are also lined up at the front of the team, and the generals of Aragorn and Elon are all leading the generals of the two clans to stand at the front of the team, and it is already a picture of a decisive battle.
At this time, in the human camp, Li Nan did not attack with the team, and was staying in the base car at this time, he said to the Arden spear beside him: "Are you ready to attack?" The team has already been set up, and the signal has just come that it is ready to attack. ”
Arden's Spear nodded, then said, "The Solar Ray Gun is ready, and the Solar Core is fully charged and ready to be fired at any time." But the reflexing prism is not yet in place, and it is not yet possible to reinvent the troops. ”
Li Nan nodded, and then said: "Then prepare to launch the solar ray gun in a minute, after the previous calculation, thirty rounds of attacks should be able to break the shield, as long as the shield is broken, stop, and at the same time, you must also fill the energy as soon as possible, or you will need the support of the orbital attack later." ”
Then, Li Nan picked up the liaison device, contacted Zhan Lan under Gandalf's command and Zheng Zha, who was in the large army, and said, "Our side is ready, we will launch an attack in a minute, you can watch and do it." ”
"Roger." The other two sides of the liaison replied at the same time.
A minute later, thirty golden beams of light about ten meters in diameter shot up from the sky and then slammed down on the shield above the Black Gate. In an instant, the thirty beams pierced through the shield, and then fell into the thirty mage towers that maintained the shield, and the thirty mage towers were instantly punched out by the beams into a large hole, from the top floor to the ground. At the same time, the nodes of the magic array were also destroyed by the beam, and the shield disappeared without a trace at the same time.
The change came so suddenly, and all of Mordor was unprepared for the destruction of the shield. Before they could react, an attack from the mage group led by Gandalf followed. The strongest of the demigod-level magic of the fire type, Doomsday Judgment. A huge fireball with a diameter of five thousand meters fell from the sky and fell into the fortress behind the Black Gate.
......When the fireball landed, it instantly produced a huge explosion, and the high temperature of more than 10,000 degrees instantly evaporated everything nearby. Then a huge shockwave swept in all directions, and all the orcs in the fortress were swallowed up, and the orcs standing on the city wall were not spared. However, because the black gate and the city wall forged by magic iron blocked the shock wave, the human troops outside the city were unharmed. But most of the soldiers were also frightened by the shocking scene, and a huge mushroom cloud rose from the center of the huge explosion, and at the same time, the ground shook violently because of the explosion, and many human and elven soldiers were unprepared and fell to the ground in the earthquake, because this also caused thousands of wounded.
And when the earthquake stopped, the human army immediately launched a charge, and a large number of infantry pushed the siege towers to quickly lead to the city wall, and the newly acquired earth ability of the members of the Middle-earth team helped a lot in this situation, and one by one blessed these bulky siege weapons with anti-gravity magic. Even the heaviest two Gland were pulled by the five Kodo beasts with the blessing of anti-gravity. The infantry quickly occupied the empty walls through the siege towers, while the members of the Middle-earth team built several wide staircases on the other side of the walls, using the power of the earth system, leading from the walls to the grounds of the fortress.
And the Black Gate was originally opened by a large number of trolls, so the human army simply did not have enough strength to open it inside, but the two Grande had already been deployed outside the Black Gate, using Grande's words, with the speed of about five minutes, it would take about two to three hours to break through the Black Gate, mainly because the cavalry and catapults could not go up to the city wall through the siege tower, of course, in fact, the Middle-earth team could also build some slopes for them to enter through the slopes, But in this case, the two hundred catapults will also consume a lot of manpower and material resources, and for the follow-up strategy, it is necessary to open the black gate, because other troops will also arrive soon.
On the other side of the Black Gate, under Gandalf's magic, everything in a radius of nearly thirty kilometers in diameter was completely destroyed. Moreover, the place where the fireball exploded after hitting it directly formed a magma lake of about ten kilometers. With the location of this magma lake, it is just enough to defend against the counterattack of Mordor's troops. At the same time, the soldiers also began to build fortifications here, and the camp was very strong.
It's just the Black Gate, and it's still far from the Black Tower Barado where Sauron is. Of course, because the physical relationship has been restored, the evil eye at the top of the Black Tower is gone. And here in Libarado, there is still about a hundred kilometers to go, and if you march with all your might, you will arrive in about two days.
Because the Black Gate was broken, there was no danger to defend all the way to Balado, so Sauron also began to shrink his forces and returned to Balado to defend with the advantage of the city walls. And today, after using it once, it should be difficult for it to work again in Balado next time. After all, Sauron is also an old fox who has lived for thousands of years, and he has a lot of means, even in the face of such an orbital attack, as long as he knows, there should be a way to crack it.
At the same time, after successfully occupying the Black Gate, Li Nan asked the Arden Spear to retract the solar ray gun arranged on the synchronous track. After all, even Li Nan, a fourth-order high-level, had the means to attack synchronously, let alone a fifth-order Sauron. Of course, Sauron himself was only a demigod at most, and the reason why he was able to reach the fifth order was mainly because of the ability of the Supreme Ring.
Soon after, a large army was turned to the rear of the human camp, led by King Heydon of Rohan. These are the troops that had been left behind before, and they were jumped here through the leaping prism of the spear of Arden, and after resting, the troops would set out with the whole army in Balado.
On the other side, Saruman, who was controlled by Northern Sauce, had returned to Valado, and at the same time brought back the news of Kuromon's defeat. Of course, Sauron already knew this, after all, he was also watching the whole battle remotely. Along with Saruman, there is also a young cat lady, but strangely, all of Mordor's troops, including orcs, strong orcs, trolls, and even the Ring Spirit, did not find her, in fact, even Sauron, as if they did not discover the existence of this cat lady.
In this way, the cat lady followed Saruman and entered the city of Sauron in the open. At this time, Cat Niang's special ability reduces her sense of existence to zero, that is, when Cat Niang activates this ability, even if she stands in front of you, you will not feel her presence. Of course, this is just a situation where she doesn't do anything, and if she's holding a knife or something, or when she's ready to attack, this ability will be ineffective. And the strength of the cat lady itself is very weak, probably only about the second order, in this world, even if you want to assassinate a third-order officer, of course, poisoning or something is another matter. So this ability was favored by Saruman, who wanted to train her to be an excellent spy. But after several years of training, this cat lady can't even learn the simplest introductory knowledge, and at the same time, even the progress of learning the two magic and fighting spirit is quite slow. Of course, even if she doesn't have this knowledge of espionage and superhuman force, with her ability, she can become a very good spy officer. This ability to stand in front of you and you can't see it is so terrifying that even Saruman himself is afraid.
And Cat Lady is a wandering orphan that Saruman accidentally discovers, who was with his younger brother at the time, and his younger brother is a genius compared to Cat Lady. Saruman trained him as a dead soldier and helped him with all sorts of shady tasks.
And Cat Lady accepted Saruman's task, which was to use Cat Lady's brother as a bargaining chip, saying that as long as Cat Lady can complete this task well, she and her brother will be able to set her and her brother free.
However, poor Cat Niang didn't know that when the Supreme Ring returned to Sauron's hands, because Sauron's body had been destroyed, if he wanted to be in a new place, he could only change his body from a new one, and Cat Niang's younger brother, at the age of fourteen, had already become a fourth-order high-level powerhouse, and he was only one step away from the strength of a demigod. In the first place, Sauron has been in love, so in the mission of the cat lady, she has been secretly sent to Barado by Saruman, and now her brother's body has been occupied by Sauron, and of course, the soul has also been absorbed by Sauron as a tonic.
This made Li Nan later find the information from Isinger, and then sorted it out and showed it to the cat lady, because she lost her only relative, so the cat lady looked like she was being played.
And Li Nan promised to help the cat lady take revenge, but let the cat girl listen to him, enter Mordor with her ability, and arrange it according to his arrangement. So, in this way, the cat lady entered the fortress of the Black Gate through Saruman's teleportation array, and then infiltrated Sauron's lair with Saruman.
At this time, Cat Lady was looking at Sauron, who had taken possession of her brother's body, and he was coming out to greet Saruman. At this time, Sauron did not know that Saruman had been controlled. However, Cat Niang also hid farther away, because she knew the flaws of her ability, and if she couldn't keep her mind calm, her ability would be invalid. And now when she saw Sauron, the hatred in her heart couldn't be suppressed at all, and in order to avoid being discovered, she took a few looks, then trotted away from the previous place, and then hid in a dark corner, taking a deep breath to calm her mood. After several years of training, only this cat lady is the best to learn, and after less than two minutes, the cat lady has calmed down her mood and entered a new state of no existence.
Then Cat Lady found a dilapidated warehouse in the city and hid, and withdrew from the state of non-existence. Although this ability is very strong, the duration is limited, and it can only maintain this state for twelve hours a day, so the cat lady has always been used to it, as long as she can not enter this state, she will maintain the appearance of an ordinary state to save the time of use.
But there was one thing she couldn't figure out, she was in a state of no existence, even the demigod Saruman and the fifth-order Sauron couldn't discover her existence, but Li Nan was able to discover her. Because in the previous mission, every time she used her ability to eavesdrop on a meeting or conversation, it seemed that every time Li Nan looked at her with a strange look. Of course, this is just a feeling, but Li Nan really discovered her, so he hypnotized her.
Came to the corner of the warehouse and sat on the dirty floor, but at this time the cat lady didn't care about this, just held her knees with her hands and buried her face in her laps, her shoulders twitching. Tears kept streaming down my eyes. She could see clearly, Sauron's face was his brother's. Regardless of his appearance, his figure is the same as that of his younger brother. Originally, there was a glimmer of hope, and besides his brother, there were other people who were chosen. However, when she saw Sauron's appearance, she was left with nothing but despair.
It was five hours from noon until dark, and the cat lady stopped crying. Then she took out a liaison from the storage bag, which was given to her by Li Nan, and it also contained the things she needed for her mission.
The cat lady turned on the liaison according to the method that Li Nan taught her, and after a while, the projection of Li Nan's appearance came out of the contact.
"Are you crying?" Seeing the appearance of the cat lady, her eyes were already red and swollen at this time, and it seemed that she had been crying for several hours: "It seems that the worst has happened." ”
"Yes, Sauron, he has taken possession of my brother's body." The cat lady whispered, and her expression became sad when she had calmed down.
Li Nan sighed, and then said; "Okay, you can rest for a night, the task will be talked about tomorrow, what I promised you will definitely be done, Sauron is dead."
