Introduction: No matter how high the martial arts are, you will be knocked down with a stick. ”

This is a pure attack weapon, simple and violent, suitable for those with a more force-type number, if anyone puts this weapon on their shoulders, the deterrent effect must be very high. The other numberers were already speechless, some clever guys had already guessed that Hu Bin had been to the Moriath Mine, thinking that Hu Bin had a close relationship with the members of the Ring Guard, and it was highly likely that Hu Bin had joined the Ring Guard. Thinking of this, the numberers looked at Hu Bin differently.

It's a pity that the weapons and equipment that Hu Bin collected from the elves and Lambas are very popular, but the precious two items, "The Heart of the Water Sponker" and "The Big Stick of the Trolls Leader", are not cared for, but everyone just opened their eyes with saliva in their mouths, and did not plan to exchange other items.

Hu Bin thought about it and understood, at this time it was the time of the war, and it was estimated that some of the precious enchanted items were the respective hole cards of the numberers, and they were unwilling to expose them to others. The equipment of the "Trolls Leader's Stick" seems to be powerful, but it actually requires a lot of strength attributes, and judging from the strength of the current numberer, this weapon cannot be equipped with a shield and is not suitable for this siege battle. And the "Heart Tendon of the Water Sponker", a life-saving consumable, is purely too valuable, and the numberers can't exchange anything good for a while.

Hu Bin, who had figured it out, was about to take back the two items, but when he saw that there were suddenly a few more items in the exchange list, he glanced at an inconspicuous numberer next to him in surprise, and then saw an item that made him happy.

"Potential-inspiring scrolls

Grade: Rare

Attributes: After use, there is a chance for followers to break through their own limits, and it is limited to expert warriors and below

Introduction: I was born to be useful. ”

Hu Bin decided that he must take this item, he was still worried that Fenrir and Ryan's strength would not be able to keep up with his growth, but he did not expect to encounter such a turnaround.

After secretly whispering to the numberer, Hu Bin and him set a location for the private transaction, and after seeing that the other numberers had no intention of continuing to buy, he pretended to be disappointed and decisively put away the stall, took the cloak and walked out of here.

"What do you want to change?" Hu Bin secretly met with the previous numberer in a corner.

"I want that tendon if I could."

"Unless there's extra potential to inspire the scrolls, your bid isn't enough."

"Two tickets, there are no more, I can add 10,000 gold coins."

"Deal." Hu Bin did not hesitate and immediately made a deal with the numberer.

"Why don't you have to be on your own retinue?" Hu Bin didn't understand what the numberer was doing, and in his opinion, this kind of scroll that could increase the strength of his followers should be used as soon as possible.

"Look at you and you have a retinue with high potential, do you think everyone can get such an entourage, besides, this kind of reel can't guarantee the success rate, and the investment is disproportionate!" The numberer seemed to be very satisfied with the transaction, and revealed some inside information to Hu Bin, and Hu Bin could not go back on the end of the transaction anyway. After leaving the contact information, the numbered person quickly disappeared around the corner, and Hu Bin touched the two scrolls in his hand, wondering if he would buy a large number of such props after the mission was over to quickly improve the strength of his followers.

The day passed quickly, and the atmosphere in the Valley of the Holy Helmet also became solemn as the strong orcs approached, and after the last wave of scouts and numbered people entered the city, the dragon slaying stone was directly put down. Women and children were placed in shelters, while conscripted militiamen marched to the city walls armed with weapons. The regular garrison of the Valley of the Holy Helmet initially numbered about 300 men, but after gathering a lot of reinforcements along the way, it expanded to 500 men, and with the addition of the Elven Expeditionary Force and the conscripted militia, it barely exceeded the number of 1,000 men. But in terms of specific combat effectiveness, except for the elven soldiers and a few regular Terran soldiers, no one else can compete with the strong orcs one-on-one.

Fortunately, there were about forty numbered men in the fort, and with their retinue, it was possible to organize a strong battle group to resist the attack.

Hu Bin and his elven legions were placed on the outer wall as the most direct long-range fire to weaken the enemy's offensive, while Hardir led another legion to garrison the inner city wall, which could support the battlefield with projectile fire. Jin Li and Legolas were also placed in Hu Bin's army, while Aragorn stood by Hu Bin's side and waited quietly for the enemy to arrive.

As night fell, heavy dark clouds gathered in the sky, a trace of rain soaked Hu Bin's clothes, and then thunderstorms and rain invaded the entire Holy Helmet Valley.

The rain seemed to take away the last trace of warmth, leaving Hu Bin with only a cold and damp feeling, the rain entered his eyes and blurred his vision, but Hu Bin did not leave his bow.

A low horn sounded, and the footsteps gradually became clear, which looked very oppressive against the backdrop of heavy rain. The defenders' breathing began to heavily, and the enemies pouring in from the mouth of the valley sent their hearts to the bottom. Armed with heavy armor and spears, the enemy marched into the battlefield with a calm pace, and a leader of the orcs stood on a protruding hillside and commanded the other orcs, and with his command, the orc army remained in formation about three hundred meters from the city wall.

Hu Bin felt his scalp tingle as he looked at the dense enemy below, and couldn't help but clench the weapons in his hands, while the other soldiers were even more nervous, constantly swallowing saliva.

With the howl of the orc commander, the other orcs began to beat their chests with spears or fists, replacing the war drums with neat beatings, so that their own morale continued to build, and the eyes of the fierce and ferocious orcs began to glow red, while the defenders on the walls quietly put their arrows on the strings.

"Raise your bow!" Aragorn shouted, and the hundred-man elven archers on the city wall quickly placed their bows and arrows in front of him.

"It's time to start!" Hu Bin silently recited a sentence, and also used a slightly urgent action to hold the weapon.

A nervous Terran archer's hand slipped in nervousness, and he released an arrow in advance, which skipped the battlefield in front of the city wall and shot into the throat of a strong orc.

The orc slowly knelt down with a look of disbelief, and finally fell to the ground clutching his neck, dying.

"Don't shoot arrows!" Aragorn hurriedly shouted the order, and the elves were not affected by the accident, they quietly waited for the enemy to enter a better firing range.

The battlefield became very quiet in an instant because of this accident, and the atmosphere between the two sides became more and more solemn, and then the orc army boiled, and the angry orc leader gave an order, and the orc army with high fighting spirit began to charge. At this moment, the Battle of the Valley of the Holy Helmet began.

"Ready!" The crowd raised their bows and arrows and pointed them at the surging enemy.

"Their weakness is in the head and wrists." Legolas reminded in a loud voice.

"Put!"

Hu Bin could clearly see that his arrow, which had been attached to the Wind Arrow Technique, pierced the head of a strong orc, and then the second and third. The human archers also fired a volley, followed by the elves led by Hardir who began to curvilinear throws. The orcs who rushed first were covered in a torrential rain of arrows and fell like cut wheat, but the soldiers behind followed them closely and rushed to the bottom of the walls without fear.

"Watch out for the ladder!" Aragorn roared, and the experienced elven soldiers stopped firing after releasing a round of arrows, their bows on their backs, and their hands resting on the hilts of their swords.

"Draw your sword!" There was a sound of swords unsheathed, and the orcs were under the walls.

Hu Bin received the bow and arrow into the ring, and the holy sword appeared on his right hand with his thoughts, and the light energy filled all over his body, and a sense of fullness of increased strength soothed his nervous mood.

The siege ladder took the orcs to the head of the city, and the hand-to-hand battle immediately broke out here, and the strong orcs who pounced in an instant made the defenders at the head of the city a mess, although they had been prepared, but the difference in single strength still made them pay casualties at this moment.

Hu Bin struck the orc who had just landed at the head of the city with a sword, slicing open his abdomen, and the internal organs flowed out of the abdominal cavity in the next moment, and were thrown under the city with his fall. Soon, however, an enemy appeared on the ladder again, and they were constantly storming the city's defenses, constantly weakening the defenders here.

Hu Bin struggled to block the enemy's frontal attack, then leaned down and wounded the orc's leg, finally killing the enemy completely as he fell to the ground. Hu Bin just wanted to straighten up, but a wave of killing intent hit the back of his head, and he hurriedly dodged, and the blade slashed over his head. Turning around and hitting the orc who attacked him with the flying knife on his waist, Hu Bin found that the elf lieutenant who was still by his side had fallen off the city wall, and the situation of the others was also very critical.

Hu Bin was a little dazed, he didn't expect the strength of the strong orcs to be so strong, even the elven soldiers who had a defensive advantage would be difficult to fight against. The situation on the walls gradually shifted to the side of the orcs, who relied on their distant forces to constantly squeeze the elves' energy, making it difficult for them to breathe.

The orcs obviously focused on attacking this section of the city wall, Hu Bin knew that it would not work like this, these elf soldiers could not be consumed like this, but other city walls were also attacked by the orcs, and they could not support here quickly. The order to retreat came to Hu Bin's lips, but seeing that Aragorn and the others did not have the slightest posture of wanting to retreat, Hu Bin had to endure the injuries of the soldiers and persevere.

"Come with me to grab points!" The numbered people who roamed the inner walls of the city noticed the danger and waited for the city's head to come to their aid, and the greater number of orcs here meant that each of them had more chances to kill their enemies.

Hu Bin breathed a sigh of relief, and then arrived here Haldir came to support with the remaining elven soldiers, completely eliminating the orcs who rushed to the head of the city, as the siege ladders were knocked down, the orcs still did not break through the city wall after paying a heavy price.

Hu Bin's legion was withdrawn, and this time it was their turn to support the city head with projectiles under the city walls, but Hu Bin did not follow the soldiers down, and in order to kill enough orcs, he insisted on staying on the dangerous city walls.

The numbered ones who rushed to the city wall began to show their powers, attacking the orcs under the city with a variety of long-range weapons, but the orcs also had long-range attacks to fight back, and it was difficult to pay attention to these orcs armed with crossbows in the chaotic battlefield, and many unpaying elven soldiers and numbered ones were injured in their hands.

The toppled siege ladder was erected again, and the orcs persevered to climb the ladder and braved the rain of arrows from the defenders to attack the city, while the orcs at the main gate attacked the city gate with a battering ram, but the main gate where the dragon slaying stone was laid down was basically the same defensive power as the city wall, and the orcs attacked for a long time to no avail. The battle gradually turned into a stalemate, with the orcs exerting all their strength but unable to break through the walls, while the defenders stabilized the situation and gradually regained the morale lost at the beginning of the battle.

But the enemy will not give up, a group of orcs covered several orcs to move in the direction of the waterway, Hu Bin saw at a glance what those orcs were carrying in their hands, undoubtedly the secret weapon of the orcs this siege, the high explosives refined by Saruman. Some of the numberers noticed the orcs and poured fire on them without hesitation, but with the protection of the human wall, the explosives gradually approached the mouth of the waterway.

Suddenly, a group of numbered people rushed out of the mouth of the waterway, and they quickly defeated the nearby orcs with slightly stronger strength, and then moved two explosives into the city, and completely sealed the mouth of the waterway with props.

"Hmph, I already knew that you would use it as a breakthrough, how could we numberers not be prepared." One of the leading numbered people looked contemptuously at the helpless orcs.

"Stop them!" Hu Bin and the numbered man at the head of the city both shouted loudly, trying to warn their companions at the mouth of the waterway, but unfortunately the distance was too far for the fellows to hear.

Saruman had six explosives instead of two. Although Hu Bin and the others tried their best to stop the second wave of orcs transporting explosives, the pressure of the frontal battlefield made it difficult for them to take care of it, and before the numbered people at the waterway could react, a terrifying loud noise shook them.

The four explosives were detonated at the same time, causing a large hole to be opened in the wall, and although the mouth of the waterway had been reinforced by the numbered person with special means, it still could not withstand the force of the explosion. Seeing that the orcs had taken the opportunity to break into the gap, Hu Bin gritted his teeth and led the elven soldiers under the city wall to hurry there, while the numbered ones who stayed on the city wall looked at each other and decisively followed behind them.

The numberers at the aqueduct did not know how to reinforce that section of the wall, so that although the mouth of the aqueduct was blown out, the wall did not collapse, and the gap was much smaller than expected. The numbered people in the vicinity came to their senses and hurriedly called out to the others to block the influx of orcs.

When Hu Bin led the team there, the entourage of the numbered ones was almost dead and wounded, and even a few numbered people were besieged and killed by the orcs. The elven soldiers who followed behind did not need to be ordered, some of them drew their bows and arrows and continued to shoot at the orcs, while the other part followed Hu Bin with their swords to kill the gap. The rest of the numberers also regrouped after a short break, joined up with the other numberers who had arrived, and turned back to kill them.

Seeing the dense enemies in front of him, Hu Bin pulled out the ring and threw it forward, and the fully formed stone giant Ente appeared in front of him, and the huge body cast the shadow of death on the orc. With a roar, Ente picked up his massive blade and struck a group of panicked orcs away. But soon, more orcs attacked, and Ente's attack couldn't kill the strong orc soldiers in an instant, these guys in heavy armor had much stronger vitality than their close relatives, half-orcs.

A big man as strong as Ente was also caught in a bitter battle, some orcs bypassed Ente and fought with the elves and numberers, and the orcs in other directions launched a more fierce offensive in order to cover the place, and for a time the outer wall was in a hurry, and the casualties on the defender's side increased suddenly.

The order to retreat was finally given, and Aragorn, who rushed to support, fought for a while and found that nothing could be done, and finally gave up on his own initiative to defend the gap in the waterway, and the surviving elven soldiers and numberers retreated to the second section of the wall, while Hu Bin and Ente broke off with the Aragonese Golden Thunderbolt.

Beckoning Hardir and his men to withdraw from the outer city wall, Hu Bin suddenly saw that the explosives that had been snatched by the numberers were still on the side, and these things could not be put into the backpack, and were discarded here by the numberers.

"Let you taste the power of explosives, too." Hu Bin quickly ran there, hesitated for a moment, but put away one, and then ordered Ente to take the other one in his hand. Hu Bin ignited the fuse with the hand of flames, and then ordered Ente to throw the explosives out of the city.

Hearing a loud bang, the orc's attack suddenly stalled, and it turned out that the orc leader was killed in this explosion. Hu Bin listened to a series of prompts from the system, and his mood was particularly comfortable. However, soon an elite orc took over the fallen orc leader, and the enemy attack was once again launched.

Drinking a bottle of moon well water, Hu Bin took a slight breath and took the initiative to relieve Ente, due to Ente's delay, most of the still alive elf soldiers and numbered people successfully withdrew to the inner fort of the Holy Helmet Valley, but there were still many human defenders who were outflanked and trapped in the outer city wall, and Hu Bin could only watch them being swallowed up by the orc army that surged up.

The defenders of the inner city continued to cover the rest of the retreat to the castle with the help of tall walls, but quite a few were still overtaken and drowned by the orcs. The closure of the gate announced the complete loss of the outer wall, and the sporadic resistance was quickly extinguished by the orc army, and the number of orcs outside was still not smaller, but more than what had been seen before.

The main entrance of the castle was quickly attacked by the battering ram, and it was broken and broken in the continuous bombardment, but the human warriors inside fought to the death with their flesh and blood against the orcs outside, and for a while the orcs could not penetrate the castle.

Hu Bin suddenly saw a huge hook appear on the nearby battlements, and then a siege ladder was quickly erected by the ropes hanging from the hook, and more hooks appeared on the walls of the castle. The orcs continued their assault on the inner fort along the siege ladder that had been erected, in an attempt to end the resistance once and for all. However, their attempts were thwarted by the elves, who had his soldiers shoot the ropes at the hooks with precision, causing many siege ladders to collapse, while the strong attacks of the numbered ones eased the crisis throughout the walls, allowing the defenders to barely hold on to the orc advance.

Aragorn and Golden Bolt jumped from the side gate to the suspension bridge at the main entrance and slaughtered the orcs there. Their flawless performance gave the human defenders at the main gate time to reinforce the walls, and the two of them were then roped up to the top of the city, bringing the two sides to a stalemate once again.

Looking up at the sky, Hu Bin found that the heavy rain had not stopped, and under the lightning and thunder, the tide of orcs that continued to attack the castle was particularly terrifying, although he knew that at dawn, the reinforcements brought by Gandalf would arrive, but Hu Bin sighed lightly after shooting the arrows in his hand with a grim face, this night is still long.
