Chapter 120: The Battle of the Final Alliance
When Hu Bin woke up, he found that he had changed his bed and the wounds on his body had been rebandaged, and the style of the tent he was in was definitely something that only the upper echelons of the elf clan could have.
"Are you awake?" A warm voice sounded from the side, Hu Bin turned his head to look, he swore that the elf in front of him was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen in his life. However, the female elf seemed to misunderstand Hu Bin's stupid eyes, and hurriedly rushed out of the tent, and after a while, Hu Bin saw the male elf he had seen before.
"Looks like you've replied well, my people." The elf, dressed in a gorgeous military uniform, strode close to Hu Bin, and then stood in front of Hu Bin's bed.
Hu Bin believed at this moment that there was really something called Wang Ba (tyrant) in the world, and he really felt that sense of oppression, although that momentum was deliberately hidden, but with Hu Bin's strength realm, he could still catch a trace, and it was this trace that made him creepy.
"This guy is definitely a guy above the master level." Hu Bin pondered in his heart.
"I know the sadness in your heart, but now we need warriors like you." Seeing that Hu Bin didn't speak, the elf thought that he was still immersed in the pain of the fall of the legion.
"Your name is Hans, isn't it, you belong to the Third Frontier Guard Regiment of Rivendell, and you've only been a member of the Legion for sixteen years, it's unbelievable, and it looks like we've all looked at you blindly. Our army needs people like you who have survived the battlefield, there is a legion waiting for you to command, don't let hatred cloud your sanity, although the power of hatred is indeed strong, but only a sane legion leader can kill orcs more effectively. ”
"Legion Commander? I? How is this possible? Hu Bin was a little confused, he just went to the battlefield to cut down a vote of orcs, and then he was directly promoted from a soldier to a legion commander?
"I said you can, you can, it's Jill Garrard's order." The elf affirmed, and then stepped out of the tent.
Hu Bin tried to move, and found that the injury was much better, and then he got up and tried to think about what NB character the guy named Gilgalad was, and then came up with an incredible answer.
"I actually just met the Elf King." Hu Bin was very excited, and silently recited the goddess of the moon several times before he was relieved.
Elenian Gil Garrard, one of the only two remaining Elven Royalty, is his aunt, the famous leader of the Water Elves, Galadriel, who was tempted by the Supreme Ring to pass the test and rise to the demigod level Elf Queen.
"If it were him, he would really be the commander of the legion." Hu Bin thought of this, and was sure that he was lucky, and being in charge of a legion would definitely improve his survivability in this big war.
The previous female elf brought a new armor into the tent, the patterns on it were more intricate and exquisite, presumably a sign to distinguish the soldier from the legion commander, and the helmet had flying wings on both sides, although it was a bit ostentatious, but Hu Bin liked it very much.
At this time, Hu Bin noticed that the female elf was actually wearing a suit of armor, this detail made Hu Bin very surprised, you must know that the general elf army does not allow female elves to join, originally Hu Bin thought that she was a full-time doctor who treats the wounded, but he didn't expect to wear a battle robe as well.
An ominous premonition came to his heart, and Hu Bin, who was neatly dressed, walked out of the tent and found that the elves around him saluted him, including many female elves in armor.
The war with the demon lord Sauron was protracted, and even the powerful elves had to let the female elves join the war, and it is conceivable how the elves who were second only to the dwarves in their stubbornness had reached the point of exhaustion, and if this decisive battle was lost, then the glory of the elves would be gone forever.
Not only is the strength stretched, but the excellent commanders of the elven clan have also sacrificed a lot, and the leaders, including the elven prince, will fall in this cruel war, not to mention the other elven leaders, they are the primary target of the orcs on the battlefield.
Because the decisive battle is approaching, Hu Bin needs to quickly find his subordinates and do his best to integrate with them in the shortest possible time. However, when Hu Bin found his legion, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
The legion given to him by the Elf King is definitely an elite legion, as the commander of the legion appointed by him personally, there is no doubt about it, but Hu Bin does not think that he has any qualifications to command this legion.
The elves in the Lord of the Rings world are near-perfect creatures, they have a look and temperament that other races envy, as well as excellent archery and artistic talents, and are also very proficient in other fields such as magic and blacksmithing.
Elves can be killed by sword and fire, but no one can take them away from immortality, except themselves.
Excessive grief can make elves lose the blessings they have received and grow old like ordinary humans, and Hu Bin has such an army in front of him, a team of elves with a lifespan. What made them lose their hope of survival, Hu Bin didn't have to think about it, he finally knew why the elven king Jill Galad chose him as the leader of this legion.
In the eyes of the Elven King, they have the same experience as themselves, but they have not lost their minds, as the Elven King said, "Don't let hatred blind your reason, although the power of hatred is indeed very strong, but only a sane legion leader can kill orcs more effectively." ”
Death squads, Hu Bin thought of the word, he knew that his legion would definitely be placed in the most important position, because there was a group of elven veterans who were dominated by hatred, and he would be their commander.
The meeting with his subordinates went well, Hu Bin had the same experience as them, and this group of soldiers didn't care who became their commander, they only cared about whether they could go to the battlefield and then exchange their lives for a few more enemies.
The war never ended, and Hu Bin kept getting news that the entire front-line army was indifferent, and both humans and elves endured great sacrifices. But all this is not without value, the seemingly endless number of orc armies has finally been reduced to a point that can be accepted by the coalition forces, and the time has come for a decisive battle.
Still under the huge outer wall of the Balado Fortress, or on the rancid and rotten land, or under the gaze of that tall figure, Hu Bin once again came to this battlefield, but this time the situation was different.
The armies of the human race, led by their human emperor, poured into the positions in a mighty manner, and steely fronts were organized. The Númenoreans possessed a tall and robust physique, not inferior to the body of the orcs, coupled with superb swordsmanship and sophisticated weapons, as well as a large number, which made them firmly occupy the position of the main force in the coalition army.
Although the army of the elves is much smaller than the number of human soldiers, no one dares to underestimate this group of slender creatures with bows and arrows, their arrow rain can instantly cover a battlefield, leaving no living creatures here, and their martial arts are also quite terrifying, they can kill several times their own orc troops.
The Nasir Sacred Sword of the Human Emperor Elendil, and the Divine Spear Iros, the Elven King Gil Garrad, the two holy weapons shining their own light in these two camps, and countless warriors have set their eyes on the owners of these two weapons, and as they are pointed forward, the largest epic battle in the history of Middle-earth has begun.
It was not only these two races that rebelled against the Demon Lord Sauron, but the Dwarven Race, one of the guardian races of the continent, also sent a lot of forces to join the battle, and some other races also came to help.
The orc defenders in the distance blew their horns, and the gates of the fortress of Barado were slowly opened, revealing an army of orcs that made the hearts of the coalition side sink. Sauron misled them, and there were far more orcs left than they had imagined. However, it was not easy to gather such a huge amount of power, and if you gave up like this, there would be no chance to defeat the Demon Lord. No matter which race you are, you have to divide the victory and defeat with Sauron today, summon up confidence, and fight bravely to kill the enemy, and as for the victory, leave it to fate to decide.
In the distance, the dense army of orcs was eager to try, as if they couldn't wait to tear open the flesh and taste the warm blood. And the tall figure standing behind the beasts, the source of all fear, the Demon Lord Sauron!
"The whole army is ongoing." The order was transmitted from the center of the army to the flanks, and the large coalition front slowly advanced towards the fortress.
And the army of orcs who chose to devour people also unshackled at the sound of the trumpet, and rushed to the embankment forged by the coalition soldiers like a torrent.
"Shoot arrows, fire a salvo and shoot freely." Hu Bin didn't command his legion too much, and the dense orc army could shoot even with his eyes closed, so he adopted the method of free fire, taking advantage of the elven archers' rate of fire to kill and injure the enemy as much as possible.
Hu Bin and his legion were arranged at the forefront of the second echelon, in addition to the legion responsible for long-distance support of the first echelon, the more important task was that once the forward was broken through, they had to quickly engage the orcs, and then try their best to contain as many orcs as possible, leaving time for tactical adjustment for the legions behind.
The Orcs were attacking more fiercely than expected, and although the soldiers of the Forward Legion were not the most elite, they were overnumbered and were broken through by the Orcs before they could hold out for ten minutes.
"Charge ready." Hu Bin's last note was resolute, he had just shot and killed an orc who had hit the head, then put away his bow and arrows, and pulled out the long-handled elven sword he was carrying behind his back, and the murderous aura behind him was instantly much richer with the sound of the blade unsheathed.
"Steady." Feeling that his soldiers were a little impatient, Hu Bin had to suppress his killing intent and shout loudly. The number of orcs who broke through was still small, and their own long-range precision shooting could still cope with it. But if you rush forward like this, you will lose many opportunities for the archers of other legions to output.
"Steady!" Hu Bin shouted again, the orcs had already widened the gap that had just opened, roaring and charging against the rain of arrows, and Hu Bin's subordinates were a little unable to hold back when they saw the enemy's appearance. But this is not the time for them to appear, because the gap has not been completely broken, and the long-range support in the rear has also begun to focus on taking care of the orcs at this point, Hu Bin has to observe whether the legions on the front line have the ability to make up for this gap by themselves, after all, on the battlefield, every strength must be used carefully, and it must be used in the most suitable place.
However, the orcs did not give the front-line warriors a chance to fill the gap, and they mobilized elite combat forces to further expand the gap, and the three trolls flew away the nearby stubbornly resisting coalition soldiers, opening a large enough gap for the orcs before being shot dead by the sharpshooters, and the first front was declared to be breached.
"Forward." Hu Bin pointed his weapon forward and shouted the order, and the burning gazes of the soldiers behind him almost drove him crazy.
As the agile figures skimmed over Hu Bin, the strong wind slightly brought up the long hair of the sideburns, and he felt a sense of relief, although he had just given the order to send his subordinates to death, perhaps only death in battle could give these wandering elves a little comfort.
The battle was more fierce than any before, both the coalition and the orcs were throwing in their hands without limit, and the sight of grinding meat on the battlefield would normally break any determined soldier, but the two sides who killed mad had no intention of reining in, attacking with their hands, feet and teeth when their weapons burst, and resisting with flesh and blood when their armor penetrated.
Hu Bin's legion was lucky, the orcs opened another gap in other directions, so that Hu Bin would face a lot less pressure, after losing half of the troops, Hu Bin reluctantly recalled a small half of his subordinates, and retreated to a later position for a short rest under the cover of others.
The first front is no longer visible, the line of fire has been pushed to the second front, Hu Bin's army is one of the few regiments that can have a chance to leave the battlefield for rest, and the others who are caught in a protracted war, Hu Bin can only wish them good luck.
"Rest on the spot and wait for orders." Hu Bin sat on the ground with his buttocks, the armor with a missing piece of the cuirass was stained with blood, but they were all orcs, and he didn't know where to throw the helmet as soon as the battle started, which also made his hatred in the eyes of the orcs reduce a lot, although his identity can be seen from the armor of the legion commander, but don't expect those orcs in the war to maintain such intelligence.
"Got a life back!" Hu Bin clearly remembered that he was hit by a hand axe, but fortunately, the quality of the cuirass was passable, and the blade of the axe did not penetrate deep into the flesh. Untied the armor that was on the verge of shattering, Hu Bin saw that the wound was above the heart, and if he went deeper, it would be where the heart veins were. Bandaged it briefly with the torn off lining, Hu Bin looked at the surviving subordinates around him, their appearance was only worse than Hu Bin, but the hatred in his eyes did not diminish by half, and those elves who did not return to the team probably died with the orcs with the consciousness of death.
But soon, the time came again when Hu Bin was needed to fight.
The Terran army on the left flank of the battlefield was attacked by orc crossbowmen on the high slopes, but the Terran archers were unable to fight back effectively, and after losing a lot of manpower, they sent a signal for help to the elves on the right flank.
The elven race, which was already short of troops, had no reserve troops on hand for a long time, and now they are only barely holding the battle line and will not collapse, how can there be additional strength to support the human race. However, the Elven King had to spare some of his forces to support the Terrans, because once the morale of the Terran army collapsed, the entire frontal battlefield would be an avalanche of collapse.
The order was sent to Hu Bin himself, and Hu Bin, who had just rested, immediately went to the Terran side to support.
Along the way, the Terran legions gave way to their half-crippled teams, and the orcs on the high slopes also noticed the movement of the coalition forces, and concentrated their fire on Hu Bin and them. But under the sacrifice of the Terran soldiers, those orcs were still included in the limit range of the elven archers.
"Cover shot." Hu Bin took an arrow and shot at the enemy on the high ground, but unfortunately due to the distance, this one only injured an orc, but his goal was achieved. The elves who have reached the firing position begin to suppress the fire, trying to reduce the threat to the follow-up troops until all the elves are in place.
"Salvo ready, put!" The rain of arrows was a little sparse, but quite effective, and the orc crossbowmen on the highlands suffered heavy losses and fled one after another.
Hu Bin's legion was later taken over by the upper echelons of the Terrans, and they were placed in a fairly safe position to act as archers, always on guard against the orcs who appeared from time to time on the high ground, and at the right time to support other places, and were never sent to the front again.
Sauron's orc army was gradually disintegrated, and he underestimated the tenacious fighting power of the coalition army, and the orcs consumed a large amount of living force in the continuous attack, and finally only a few escaped back to the fortress. The Coalition took advantage of the victory and launched a siege, but the tall and sturdy walls of the fortress caused great problems for the Coalition forces.
Hu Bin and his men returned to the elven camp, and their job was to snipe the orc garrison above the city walls, while the Terrans and dwarves slowly pushed forward with huge siege engines.
Eventually, after a four-hour siege, the gates of the fortress collapsed, and the allied soldiers swarmed into the fortress.
Hu Bin also rushed into the fortress with the army, and he found that there were still many small fortifications inside the fortress of Balado, and the orcs were constantly attacking the invading coalition forces with crossbows and bows, and there were ballistas on the hill not far away.
Hu Bin, who ran out of luck, was targeted on the way to capture the ballista battery, and a thick crossbow bolt cut off one of his legs, and soon fell into a coma under the dual effects of painful blood loss and physical fatigue.
Hu Bin woke up from his bed for the third time in the Lord of the Rings world, and the pain in his lower limbs caused him to wake up from his coma and find a female elf wearing a bandage of himself changing the dressing for his wounds.
There was an atmosphere of sadness throughout the camp, and the trajectory of history was not deviated. Demon Lord Sauron lost his One Ring after his finger was cut by the Terran prince Essidor with the severed sword of Nasir. The Elven King Gil Garrard and the Human Emperor Elendil both fell in the process of fighting Sauron head-on, although the Demon Lord Sauron was defeated, but the One Ring was not destroyed, and it was finally obtained by the new Emperor Essidor and left on his finger as a national treasure.
With the death of the only royal family qualified to be king, Jill Garrard, the elves of Middle-earth, who had lost their elven king, split into three kingdoms, the water elves, the mountain elves, and the jungle elves. The elves, who had lost much of their strength, abandoned most of their territory and retreated to their respective places of refuge to begin a long period of recuperation.
The war had left too many elves without their companions, and no one in the returning party of the mountain elves noticed the sudden disappearance of an elven legion leader named Hans.
The words "Mission Completed" appeared in Hu Bin's space panel, and after he finally got rid of the disabled body and obtained a temporary charm bonus of 10 points, he finally wanted to use his identity to start an adventure in the Midway Continent.
