Chapter 138: The End of Isengar (I)

King saw the crossbowman who had been dragged out of the woods coming out of the woods, and the Rohan militia behind him handed him the weapons in their hands.

"I think this gentleman must have something to say to you, so I won't disturb your communication, and as for this Mr. Bieber, we will send him back according to the contract." Hu Bin slowly stepped back with a bright smile, and Lin took Bieber on the golden shoulder.

"You're fooling me!" King shouted loudly, and he began to panic a little at the sight of the crossbowman's eyes, which longed for his own death.

"No, no, no, I strictly abide by the requirements of the contract, look, this is just a dead grudge between the two of you, and it has nothing to do with me. So goodbye, Mr. Kim, oh, sorry, it's never again. Hu Bin leaned over and saluted Jin, and then withdrew from the outpost with his own men.

"Don't come here, listen to me, it's a misunderstanding, I can give you a lot of ......, ah......." The sound of chopping meat sounded along with screams, and then a crossbowman with a bloody face appeared in front of Hu Bin.

"Here's what was promised to you." The crossbowman let go of a blood-stained baggage.

"Very well, do you have anything else to say?"

"It's just a struggle in this damn space anyway, so it's better to end it sooner." The crossbowman showed a relieved expression, and as his words fell, his whole body became a little transparent, and finally turned into a wisp of fresh wind and drifted away.

"Get up when you wake up." Hu Bin stared at the place where the crossbowman dissipated for a long time, if the same faction numbered person killed each other, a large number of points would be deducted, and the result of insufficient scores would be such a wipe.

"Didn't you plan to let them go in the first place?" Bieber's voice came from behind.

"No, if the two of them don't play tricks, you can all survive with that contract, but that little selfishness has buried them. You should just walk back by yourself, I don't bother to give you a ride. Hu Bin picked up the burden on the ground with his feet, raised his hand without looking back, and left here with the others.

Bieber couldn't help but sigh as he looked at his bruised body, and when he saw Joe, he knew that the assassin was less than lucky. Kim's death was entirely self-inflicted, but after all, he paid the ransom for himself, and the crossbowman was completely sold by Kim, and it was reasonable that he ended up with Kim, and even Bieber didn't know what to think of Kim's actions.

"That damn guy, can't you just bandage me before you leave!" Bieber doesn't mind what Hu Bin did too much, and if they fall into his own hands, the methods may be more cruel. And the other party seems to be murderous, but in fact he still retains the final bottom line, if it were Jin, he would not let go of the prisoner's life.

Enduring the pain, he took out a tube of potion and drank it in one gulp, feeling the itch of the wound slowly healing, Bieber sighed again, the team was completely disabled, but he didn't lose anything, with his strength, as long as he wanted to go back, he could immediately pull up a team. But Bieber decided to leave the Saruman camp for a while and start over, the group of people I met today seem to have just arrived here, and the strength is really not good, and the days of the numbered people in the Saruman camp are estimated to be sad in the future, so it is wise to leave early.

"By the way, what kind of move did that Reed use?" Bieber, who felt a little better, stood up from the ground, pressed the wound on his chest and frowned, looking at his empty energy tank and wondering.

"Yawn!" Hu Bin sneezed, and his whole body trembled for a while.

……

"Haha, I killed seven strong orc bastards, and those guys only had to flee after seeing Lao Tzu, if it weren't for ......." Vicky boasted loudly about his achievements around the campfire, and the nearby numberers watched with interest as he played his tricks.

"Alright, Vicky, your wound is about to crack open again, and you don't want to change your medicine once." Hu Bin interrupted Vicky's speech and gagged him with beer and barbecue, and he would be involved in his hole cards if he continued to talk.

"Even if I die, I won't go there to change the dressing." Vicky shuddered, the medical officer in the camp was a muscular woman who was always willing to do anything when changing the dressings for the numberers.

"It's really a lot of harvest this time, and many people want to exchange something from us, so the news here spreads so quickly." Joe asked weakly as he sat down on the barrel containing the wine.

"I also just found out that the guy named Jin we killed this time is a very famous pharmacist, and a lot of good things in the Saruman camp are from his hands, and even the tasks are released by him. We killed that guy, but it made the other side messy for a while, and there were a lot fewer people on the mission today, and no one dared to go to the outpost in the north until now. "Lin has received a lot of information, and women have an incomparable advantage in this kind of thing.

The spoils of war obtained from the captives have been divided among several people, in addition to a bottle of physique enhancement potions per person, Lin also got a rare level strong crossbow from the crossbowman, for which she paid a lot of price, and owed others a sum of gold, but it was all worth it, this weapon combined with Lin's concealment skills was a perfect match for sneak attack assassination. Joe, on the other hand, found a pair of boots in the Crossbowman's Legacy, which are not rare items, but have the ultimate stat of increasing movement speed.

Vicky didn't have anything to look at, the dwarves were very well equipped, and their natural resistance was not too cold to potions, so he only took a large amount of gold, according to his words, if those potions in bottles and jars could work, he wouldn't have to go to that terrible medical officer to treat his injuries.

The rest of the things were bought by Hu Bin in one go, and the potions in them were some primary potions that Jin Ping had saved, and the effect was strong and the side effects were quite obvious, Hu Bin looked down on these low-level potions, but the other numberers took them as treasures, and after a deal with the numberers of the same camp, Hu Bin got a military item that he had coveted for a long time.

"Captain Rohan's horn

Class: Rare (can be upgraded with military merits)

Attributes: Charisma +3, Will +1

Additional Skill Charge Horn: Morale +5 and Discipline +1 during cavalry charge

Additional Skill Warning: Nearby allies move 20% faster, 20% increased combat power

Introduction: For the sake of victory, charge. ”

Looking at the painful appearance of the squadron leader class numberer, Hu Bin felt very comfortable, this equipment just matched his heroic knights, turning on the charge horn when charging, and opening the alarm when he fell into a melee, it is worthy of being one of the top military items in the Rohan Kingdom, it is simply created for cavalry, but it is a pity that it can only be upgraded by a captain numberer.

The battle at the northern outpost was just a small episode in this confrontation between the numberers, and Kim's death made it much easier for the other side to take the mission. Early the next morning, the enemy poured out of the nest and carried out a sweep of the southern outposts, and the human camp gradually leveled the situation after suffering a little loss in the early stage, the two sides fought fiercely on that battlefield, and the recruited Terran soldiers and half-orc soldiers were consumed, but there were not many numbered people who really died there, once they were injured, they would call for others to support and cover, in this kind of battlefield, unless they were divided and surrounded or killed themselves, the survival rate of the numbered people was still quite high.

"This kind of battle is simply fighting for attrition, and it has no effect other than to wear down the strength of both sides." Joe dragged his tired body back to the camp deep in the forest, groaning in frustration that he and Lynn's soldiers had lost in today's battle.

In fact, the numberers on both sides hate such fights, but in the battlefield, they can't help themselves, and if they paddle the water, they may not only be pinched as soft persimmons, but also looked down on by people in the same camp.

With the restoration of the Saruman Orc Factory, the recruitment conditions of the Strong Orcs have also been lowered a lot, and these elite orc warriors have begun to appear in the opponent's cannon fodder, which has brought a lot of pressure to the human camp dominated by the Rohan militia, and it usually takes the numberers themselves to stabilize the battle.

Fortunately, although King Siyodon spent the main force on the battlefield to drive out the barbarians, he still sent several regular infantry regiments to support the Fagon camp, which made the numbered people who had more than enough military merit willing to buy a regular Rohan infantry, with these infantry to lead, the militia was more than a step more than improved in combat effectiveness. In the case of human soldiers, the greater the number of people, the stronger the average combat effectiveness, which is something that orc soldiers cannot do.

With the gathering of the main force of the Rohan Kingdom, the barbarians on the border began to retreat, and the numbered people on that battlefield also came to the battlefield of Fagon Forest one after another, and brought the news that King Xiudon had begun to plan a counterattack on Isengard. Gandalf's subsequent camp mission also confirmed the news, due to the threat of flooding at the dam, the Rohan Kingdom could not attack Isengh in a big way, so three days later Gandalf would lead the Treants to attack Isengh again, the focus was on the northern dam area, and the mission content issued to the numbered was to ensure the safety of the Treants during the attack.

"Each tree man can be protected by up to four numbered people, plus the number of soldiers under his command, it is enough to form a small detachment, but this will greatly limit the strength of the tree people, and it will also cause the enemy's key attacks, my suggestion is to protect at most two numbered people, even then the number of our numbered people still cannot be distributed to all the tree people, but at least the success rate of the whole operation has increased a lot." One of the numbered rangers offered his own suggestion, and the others nodded.

After the release of the Faction Mission, several large groups of numberers invited the more famous teams and individuals in the camp to organize a rally, with the purpose of brainstorming and planning the Faction Mission.

"Great advice, but a lot of teams have regular teammates and some of us are not suited to play alone, so that's something to consider."

"The main threat to the tree people is the flames, whether we can take some fire prevention measures for the tree people, and the means to extinguish the fire should also be arranged."

"With our strength, controlling the dam is a bit unrealistic, and it's better to fight with the goal of destroying it first, but how can we ensure that the flood does not pose too much threat to us?" ……

A wide variety of questions were raised, and many suggestions were mixed in the presentations, and at the end of the number, some of the main problems were summarized and everyone was able to concentrate their efforts on solving them.

The numberers of Saruman's camp were also troubled by the flood, the wizard Saruman ordered the construction of a protective wall around the factory after Isenger was attacked by the Treants for the first time, and increased the thickness of the northern wall, half of the defenders were invested in the construction of the protective wall, and even delayed the commissioning of the strong orcs, but even this did not guarantee that the wall could withstand the impact of the flood.

The target of the dam is too big, and in the face of the treemen against the city-level combat troops, the possibility of destruction is still very high, which makes those numberers have to rack their brains to think about how to stop the attack of the treemen, fortunately, Saruman himself is an alchemist, a large amount of viscous fire oil and incendiary potions were distributed, and the numberers used these props to create improvised incendiary bombs, and even in the previous battle to destroy the outpost, there were these unstable combustibles, they believed that these treasures could effectively kill and injure the treemen.

The numberers of the human camp are busy, they have to coat all the participating treants with a layer of fireproof mud, and some of the frenzied numberers even equip their own treemen with steel plates in order to improve the defense of the treants, and these burdens have little effect on them anyway.

The Treants themselves have strong melee abilities, so the numberers decided to attach themselves to the Treants, using ranged weapons such as bows and crossbows to aid their attacks, and placing containers of water on the Treants. This will not only extinguish the place where the Treant is set on fire at any time, but also effectively avoid the danger caused by the subsequent flood, the only caveat is that the Treant may crush himself under him if he falls. In coordination with the numberers, a large number of Indigenous soldiers were incorporated into the combat crew, who could provide some assistance to the tree people and greatly compensate for the lack of numberers.

In order to keep the defenders of Isengar at bay, the numberers also collected a large amount of rubble for the Treants to throw, and Gandalf's feathering technique made the work go smoothly.

Three days is not a long time, and the numberers still have a lot of preparation work to complete, but the battle will not be delayed for these reasons, and they can only pray that the hasty preparations will allow the faction mission to be completed smoothly.

In the early hours of the night the battle began, the Treemen broke into the northern part of Isengard, and a large number of orc defenders gathered at the sound of the Treemen moving, only to be attacked by a large number of stone-throwing bombardments, which continued until the debris was exhausted after dawn.

After the artillery fire was prepared, the treemen launched a tentative charge, and the orcs, who had been baptized by stones for several hours, rushed up to try to stop it, the shouts and roars of the front line rang out, and many of the treemen's canopies were ignited by the defenders' incendiary bombs, and the people on the trees could not extinguish such a fire with water jugs alone, and after paying the price of a few treemen, the momentum of the treemen's attack slowed down.

"Attack those orcs with incendiary bombs with fire-attribute sword qi and rockets." Hu Bin shouted and prepared his magic on the head of a tree man, and after the fireball ignited an incendiary bomb in the orc's hand, it exploded violently, not only burning many nearby orc soldiers, but also many other incendiary bombs.

The size of the incendiary bomb is not small and it is very easy to identify, and those who see the effectiveness of this method have followed suit, focusing on the orc soldiers with the incendiary bombs, and the continuous detonation of the flames has caused the orc soldiers to suffer heavy casualties, and they have to distance themselves from each other, which greatly reduces the pressure on the tree people.

The treeman under Hu Bin roared angrily, grabbed a nearby orc in his hand, and then ran towards the nearby watchtower. Hu Bin saw that the orc had crashed into the watchtower, the orc soldiers on the tower screamed and fell, and the treemen hated the rockets of the orc archers very much, and destroyed the watchtower in various ways.

The orcs had a way to deal with the orc of martyrdom, a dozen of them took the attention of the treant, and then in groups of five they shielded the incendiary bomb and set him on fire when the treant was not looking. Although the numberers were able to spot the incendiary orcs in advance, they were unable to bypass the other orcs to attack the incendiary bombs, causing the treemen to be frequently hit and ignited.

"Three treants are in a group, covering each other's advances." One of the numbered men was quick-witted, and suggested that the tree man under him lift the large container of water and splash the water on the head of the burning tree man in front of him, extinguishing the flames on the treeman's head.

The three Treants cover each other to greatly increase their survival rate, not only can they use their own water to extinguish the fire for other Treants, but the warriors on their bodies can also gather fire to deal with some well-protected incendiary bombs, and the pace of attack has accelerated a lot with the application of this tactic.

"Prioritize attacking people in the trees." The successive explosions finally made the orc commander realize that the warriors on the Treants were more dangerous than the Treants, and the Orc Crossbowmen and Orc Archers concentrated their fire on them.

Although the Terran side has done enough protection for the Treants, they have forgotten their own safety issues, and it is difficult for them to dodge arrows and other attacks on the Treants, and after taking down the Treants' helpers, the Treants who are fighting alone only need an incendiary bomb to solve them.

The two sides fought back and forth, and the advantages and disadvantages were exchanged several times in a short period of time, but the death of their companions stimulated the peaceful treemen, who, regardless of the fire on their bodies, launched a suicidal charge at the orcs like burning monsters, and the orcs no longer cared about casualties, and carried a large number of incendiary bullets and crossbows to pounce on the enemy.

The treemen below Hu Bin followed closely with the large army, and he saw a treeman not far away who could not withstand the raging flames and slowly fell to the ground, and the two Rohan militiamen above fell screaming, and the corpses of the treemen were covered with the corpses of half-orcs.

"Rush, we're almost close to the dam, as long as we destroy it, Isinger will be finished." One of the numbered people on the head of the tree man shouted loudly, and the tree man under him roared forward despite the burns on his body, and then with a bang, the two guys were chased by the tree man behind him and splashed themselves with water.

The treemen at the front were already quite close to the dam, but the orcs guarding the dam fired waves of rockets, while the orc defenders on the ground used all their strength to climb the treemen's legs without incendiary grenades, slowing the treemen's advance with their flesh and blood. But nothing could stop the treemen, and although the water source had been exhausted by the time they arrived, they were still holding their feet in the face of the rain of fire, and the pillars supporting the dam were not far away, and it seemed that they were within reach.
