PS: It will be on the shelves next Friday at the latest, and when the time comes, I will ask for recommendations, collections, and subscriptions, comrades.

The orcs' offensive began to slow down, and their morale fell quickly after a long period of attack, and the numbered ones in the human camp began to play their greatest role at this time, and the strong orcs who climbed up from the siege ladder were killed one by one by them waiting at the head of the city as if they wanted to deliver food. The relatively narrow walls allowed the human forces to be concentrated, and with the numbered ones to escort them, the archers could rain arrows undisturbed.

But the castle also had a fatal weakness, that is, the gates of the inner fort were only reinforced with iron bars, far from the strength of the outer walls, which had been pierced by battering rams and were now barely supported by wooden plank brackets and filling. The orcs had invested quite a few troops here, but due to the narrowness of the suspension bridge and the archers' focus on the area, they were slow to break down the door.

If nothing else, the orc siege may end here, and once it reaches dawn, they will encounter the Rohan cavalry who have arrived to support, and the humans will be able to crush the orc army if they only need to work together.

After an arrow eliminated an orc attached to the siege ladder, Hu Bin retreated from the battlements, and the whole three pots of arrows were shot by him, and he had to rest for a while with his physical strength before he could draw the bow again. The elves' ammunition was already running out, and Hu Bin had to give them most of the extra arrows in the space ring, and with their archery skills, almost every shot would be rewarded.

"Don't these guys know they're tired!" Hu Bin leaned against the low wall and complained about the madness of the orcs, there was already a layer of corpses piled up at the foot of the inner wall, but the orcs were still attacking, and from time to time the orc's crossbow bolts hit the outcropping archers on the city wall, which was also the only means they could use to consume the defenders now.

Hu Bin's neighborhood actually had a numbered person there to put cold arrows, that guy was actually a numbered person of the dwarf camp, he used a wooden box to cushion himself, put his head out of the city wall, and aimed for a long time before he was willing to shoot an arrow at the city, but obviously did not hit the target, and scolded and drew an arrow again. When he stretched out his head again, a crossbow bolt slashed through his helmet, and the numbered person immediately jumped off the wooden box, and then leaned against the low wall like Hu Bin, and wanted to take off the helmet with trepidation, and then found that the crossbow bolt was pinned to his hair, and he couldn't take the helmet off.

Hu Bin laughed dumbly, there are so many orcs in the city, this guy didn't shoot, this guy is also a talent, this guy's archery skills have not been started at all, get rid of it Don't learn to play remote, no, I was startled by the orc's strong crossbow.

In fact, this is the performance that ordinary numberers should have, most choose melee mastery, choose specialization according to their best weapons, and when their own safety is not guaranteed, few people develop long-range means. Just like now, the better numberers relied on equipment and other items or their own energy skills to harvest the attacking orcs, and almost had to pick a bow and arrow left by the dead to kill the enemy by luck. And Hu Bin found that part of his kill count could actually increase proportionally according to the number of kills of his subordinate elf soldiers, and he was the only guy like Hu Bin who could have a legion to help him brush up his scores.

Hu Bin watched with interest as the numbered man tried to pull out the crossbow bolt stuck in his helmet, but unfortunately he tried several times without success, and finally had to break the crossbow bolt and break the ballast.

"Hey man, my name is Gadmunstedich, you can just call me Vicky." The numbered man, Vicky, noticed that Hu Bin was looking at him, and he was not embarrassed by the performance just now.

"Reed, you can call me Reed."

"I've heard your name, you're the only one of the numbered people of the elven camp in this fortress, you're the focal point, and there aren't many alien numberers like us." Vicky secretly stuck his head out of the wall to shoot another arrow, but quickly retracted his head.

"Damn, are those guys crazy, sending so many orc crossbowmen so close, is it because their commander has (harmony) in mind? I just picked up a bow. Vicky yelled and threw away the horned bow in his hand.

Hu Bin suddenly felt that something was wrong, the archers on the city wall should be limited in their attacks on targets that threatened them like orc crossbowmen, how could they let so many crossbowmen get close to the city wall? He hurriedly straightened up and looked out, only to find that the orcs had indeed made a strange move, and Hu Bin, who had eagle eyes, saw at a glance that the orcs were escorting a guy to the main entrance of the castle. Although the guy was wearing orc armor, he looked like a human in terms of height and size.

"It's wrong, that's the numbered person of the dark camp, focus on him, don't let him get near the main entrance." Ignoring the fatigue of his arm, Hu Bin decisively drew an arrow and shot at the numbered person, but it was blocked by the heavy tower shield in his hand. Several elven soldiers nearby also paid attention to the suspicious numbered person, but they were soon killed by the ensuing crossbow arrows, and Hu Bin immediately lowered his head to escape when he saw that the situation was wrong.

Hu Bin found out a little too late, the numbered person of the Saruman camp seemed to have some kind of powerful means, and after a period of preparation at the city gate, he suddenly made an explosion. If Hu Bin could see the city gate below, he would see that the city gate now seemed to have been pierced by cannonballs, and the wooden frames and fillers that supported it were hit everywhere, mixed with some fragments of human warriors who defended it and flew to the inside of the castle.

"The city gate has been destroyed, everyone come with me, resist this gang..." When a resting Terran warrior noticed the accident, he immediately organized his men to prepare for defense, but was shot into a hedgehog by the orc crossbowmen who were ready behind the gate.

"The city gate is lost, you, it's you, now I promote you to be the deputy commander, so that the others don't have to hold here, when I'm not here, you can judge whether to retreat to the castle according to the situation." Hu Bin shouted to an ordinary elven soldier next to him before setting off to support the city gate, since his lieutenant was killed, there had been various delays in his orders, after all, he had not mastered this legion for too short a time to command.

"Ha, it's finally time for me to play." When the dwarven numbered man named Vicky heard that the city gate had been lost, he drew two weapons that were huge for his size, and immediately ran excitedly behind Hu Bin and under the city wall.

Hu Bin had just shot an orc rushing in on the slope of the city wall, only to notice a familiar roar coming from behind him.

"Demacia!" Dwarven Vicky jumped directly off the city wall from the halfway point, holding a huge two-handed battle axe and a two-handed war hammer in his hand, and he quickly spun around his body and quickly set off a storm of weapons among the orcs. Originally, the whirlwind slash used by the warrior was used by Vicky to use the effect of a sledgehammer, because of the height of the race, this attack method is difficult to resist by the tall orcs, coupled with the unique lower plate slashing skills of the dwarves, many orcs have suffered knee injuries because of this.

Hu Bin's blood boiled when he saw it, he simply put away his bow and arrows and drew out the holy sword, one stepped forward to kill the nearest orc, and the other numbered people also came to support from all over the city wall, after all, if the inner fortress was lost, no one would be better.

In the melee, Hu Bin can be said to have unleashed all his conventional methods, he was still in mid-air, he quickly killed several enemies with his throwing knife, and then stepped on an orc as a cushion when he landed, and slashed the throat of the enemy with his holy sword at the moment of rolling forward to relieve his strength.

After getting up and squatting on the ground to stabilize his body, Hu Bin raised his sword to block a sharp blade that came down, stabbed the enemy's thigh with the flying knife in his hand, and then wiped off his head with a sword amid the screams of the orc, turned around and threw out the flying knife, killing another orc who was trying to sneak attack behind him.

Hu Bin's series of dazzling movements boosted the morale of the nearby human soldiers, and for a while, he actually pushed the menacing orcs back for a distance, but in the blink of an eye, he was killed by the orcs who had come back to their senses.

Hu Bin then killed two more orcs, and then held the dwarf Vicky who was a little staggering with one hand, it seems that this guy's whirlwind slash is not a skill recognized by space, and it can't get rid of the sequelae caused by too many circles. Seeing the orcs pouring into the city gate from afar, Hu Bin found that it was difficult for them to drive the orcs out, even if the defenders had the help of the numbered, but the difference in strength between the ordinary human soldiers and the strong orcs was still a bit big.

King Siyodon, who was on the inner platform, also saw the problem and reluctantly gave the order to retreat into the council hall, and then all the defenders gave up resistance and withdrew to the last line of defense. On the way to retreat, Hu Bin saw Hardir being supported back to the castle hall by Legolas, escorted by several numbered people, seemingly getting rid of the doom of his death in this battle, seeing the nervous appearance of those numbered people, it is estimated that eighty percent of them triggered some protection tasks.

After returning to the council hall with the other soldiers, Hu Bin saw that the door of the hall was quickly closed, and the orcs had rushed to the high platform after the retreating soldiers, and those soldiers who were still on the city wall did not hear the retreat order and resisted stubbornly estimated that they would not have a chance to return here.

Anxiety and frustration swept over the remaining soldiers, and when King Xiudon saw the number of warriors remaining, he hid his trembling right hand behind him, and due to the break of the Golden Bolt and Aragon, the Terran soldiers were left with more than forty men, most of them elite warriors, and as for the militia that had been temporarily conscripted, there were few left, long after the outer walls were breached.

The elven soldiers were saved by Hu Bin's previous order, while the warriors led by Hardir were all killed outside, and even he himself was seriously wounded. Such a large loss was only an extra hour of delay for the enemy, but because the orcs arrived early and attacked, all history returned to square one, and the defenders in the Valley of the Holy Helmet were almost in a desperate situation.

Hu Bin let go of the hand holding Vicky, and saw that the dwarf spun around on his own, and then fell to the ground with his butt, and then retched, and the two weapons smashed on the ground with two clanging sounds, which made people wonder how this small body picked up these two two-handed heavy weapons.

"Hehe, thank you, this is a skill I learned in the dwarves, heavy weapons dual wielding, you can raise two-handed weapons with one hand, and you can also reduce the power limit of equipment, how about it, not bad!" Vicky, the living treasure, didn't notice the gloomy atmosphere around him at all, and saw Hu Bin staring at his weapon, casually telling the mystery, and when he was in danger, Hu Bin pulled him, which can be regarded as a fateful friendship.

Most of the numberers took the lead in retreating when they saw that the situation was not good, so the number of numberers in the field was still quite large, but despite this, there were only more than 20 of the original more than 50 numberers, and the casualty rate exceeded 50%, and the guys who survived were also in fear, and few were as calm as Hu Bin and Wei.

Hu Bin still has a lot of means that have not been used, he is very confident in his own strength, and he can still do it if he wastes the last chance to release his hidden legion and delay until dawn, so he is not worried about whether he will fail at all.

But the other numberers are different, in order to try their best to complete the side quests, they basically exhausted all kinds of means, even the retinue and accumulated soldiers are hitched. If they win the battle in the end, they can exchange some Rohan cavalry for their own losses in the Rohan Kingdom, but once they lose the battle, or let King Xiyodon die, then the Rohan Kingdom will fall into a fragmented situation, and their hard-earned military achievements will be in vain, and their lives will be threatened.

Most of the numbered people who chose to follow the cavalry to participate in the battle gave up participating in the defense of the city because they were afraid of such a situation, and most of them did not want to gamble their lives on it, although the military merit reward for defending the city was many times higher than that of later support.

The sound of the battering ram striking at the main entrance of the hall seemed to strike everyone's hearts. As a last line of defense, the defenders began to fortify the area after the outer wall was breached, so that the gate could hold out for a while. But everyone understands that when the gate is breached, it is when they are desperate.

"Aren't you afraid? Vicky. Hu Bin sat next to the dwarf and asked calmly.

"Hah! We're numbered people who have died once, and this life is no longer our own, so what are we afraid of? Vicky wiped his nose with a big grin, and his words were read by many of the nearby numberers.

Not all numbered people can see as much as him, even Hu Bin has a fear of death, but he is a little rebellious and impulsive in his bones, and he is stronger than others, so he can still face this situation calmly. "It's worthy of being an alternative who has been allocated to the dwarf camp by space, and this nerve is thick enough." Hu Bin could see that Wei Wei was telling the truth, and he was really not afraid of defeat at all, this bold guy aroused Hu Bin's interest, and he put forward a proposal for teaming up to act in the future.

It is said that people who have fought side by side will build strong friendships, and the dwarf does not mind acting with this guy who tastes him next, and the two of them talk on the side, which relieves the oppressive atmosphere in many halls.

Aragorn was suggesting to King Sheodon that the women and children retreat first, but the frustrated King Sheodon was silent, and the soldiers around him bowed their heads, knowing that no one would be spared.

"Rush out with me, rush out and face it all," Aragorn muttered, and King Theudon looked back at Aragorn in amazement, he saw in the ranger the unyielding spirit, and even the surviving soldiers looked at the two of them.

"For a glorious sacrifice!" There was a tremor in Siydon's words.

"For Rohan! For your people! Aragorn walked up to King Siyodon and said firmly.

A ray of dawn sunlight shone through the window into the hall, a hint of warmth dispelled the cold, and King Xieudon's next words dispelled the fear in the hearts of the soldiers.

"Good, good! The horn of the Hammerman of the Holy Helmet will sound, one last time! The King's voice was firm and powerful.

"Roar!" The surrounding soldiers roared in response.

The group led the horses out of the shelter, and the golden bolt rushed to the top of the hall, ready to blow the horn for a counterattack.

"This is our time to fight the enemy together, orc mongrels, let's die." King Sheudon came to the front of the cavalry and watched as the main entrance of the hall was torn apart by a battering ram.

"I want to meet this bloody dawn with full blood and incomparable courage!" With the king's announcement, the gate was completely slammed open.

The melodious and majestic sound of the horn resounded through the Valley of the Holy Helm, and the hideous orcs attacked the last line of defense of the human race, and the cavalry awaited them.

"Warriors of the Land of Hussars, charge!" With the king's order, everyone mustered up the courage to launch an indomitable charge.

King Heudon led the way, followed by the captain of the Guard, who was armed with the flag of the Kingdom of Rohan, and the cavalry caught the orcs by surprise, rushing through the broken hall doorway, down the corridors of the inner castle, and over the suspension bridge outside the main entrance of the castle. Fearless in the face of the mighty orc army, the orcs along the way were crushed at the slightest touch, driven off the suspension bridge by the cavalry, and fell into the deep valley.

Hu Bin seemed to be back in the world of warbands, the feeling of the breeze on his face was so comfortable, and the feeling of the blade cutting through the enemy made his heart boil. The Holy Sword of Prissis felt the excitement of its master, exuding a strange warm light, but it brought a cold killing force to the enemy.

Where the eastern sun was about to rise, a man in a white robe appeared on a white horse.

"The king is alone." Looking at the cavalry who were bravely attacking at the foot of the mountain, the man said in a loud voice

"He's not alone." Behind him, a knight rode his horse alongside him, and the knight drew his sword.

"For the king!" Countless cavalry roared down the hillside, and Rohan's reinforcements finally arrived in the Valley of the Holy Helm, and they launched a mighty charge against the orc army below, bringing hope to their compatriots in the valley.
