A group of soldiers sneaked out of the White City, this is already the fourth group of troops to be transferred from the secret passages outside the city, they will join the first three groups of soldiers to the northern hiding point, and then continue to wait for the manpower of this operation to be assembled.

In order to confuse the orcs, instead of increasing the defense, the White City side also slightly reduced the number of guards patrolling.

One of the guards of the White City wandered leisurely around the city walls, occasionally looking at the wilderness outside the gates, but when he turned his back to look inside the city, he gave a secret signal to the troops below.

The inside of the city walls was already a different scene, a large number of citizens and militia were organized, and they were organizing their outgoing troops in an orderly manner, and in the process they tried to keep their voices as low as possible, contributing to the surprise plan.

The numbered people who received the task also gathered in the square and waited to leave the city, but they still had a look of disbelief on their faces.

Previously in the warehouse, when the first numberer passed the screening, the other numberers also launched tests, Hu Bin's fireball technique can be broken on the way with only a few accurate sword strokes under the full attention of the numberers, and the numberer with agility can completely dodge spells without follow-up guidance with speed, of course, this is the result of Hu Bin's release of water.

But despite this, there are still many numbered people who still fail to pass the test, and the final number of people screened out is only 32, which is enough to exceed the requirement of at least 30 people in Hu Bin's mission.

After seeing that no one else joined, Hu Bin released the specific content of the task, and the numbered people who accepted the task were really surprised when they saw the introduction of the mission, although they had guessed in advance that the Gondor side was going to prepare a big operation, but the plan to surprise the Aocheng fortress was really unbelievable, this is simply the rhythm of meat buns beating dogs, is it possible that the high-level leaders of the Gondor Kingdom are collectively brainless.

Unfortunately, the mission has already been taken, and if they give up halfway through, they will receive a lot of prestige penalties. The numbered people who felt that they had been brought to the thief ship threw angry eyes at Hu Bin, who initiated this mission. Hu Bin, who had long expected this situation, finally appeased a group of half-believing numberers, and went back to ask for the wishes of the two aristocratic youths. But after seeing the strength of the numberers, these two nobles can no longer be proud, but they still have the command of this temporary mercenary squadron, although in the eyes of the numberers, everyone is the same, anyway, they can't really completely obey the command.

After completing the recruitment, Hu Bin, who was physically and mentally exhausted, could not prepare for the battle with peace of mind, and the second link of the task given to him by Gandalf was to protect the safety of the two noble youths in this surprise attack. But the final reward of the mission is very tempting, and Gandalf even takes out his magic notes to lure Hu Bin into the pit. And Hu Bin decisively jumped into the pit after a difficult choice.

"Isn't it just two chicks who haven't been on the battlefield, it's a big deal to let them go through the motions." Hu Bin looked at the two guys who were still intriguing and fighting for command, and comforted himself.

Fortunately, although the two guys are a little proud, they are not stupid, of course they know how dangerous this battle is, so they spare no effort to win over the numbered people in this team, but they really let them fool a few numbered people to promise to protect them, plus the private soldiers they brought from the family to protect them, which made Hu Bin feel a lot more relieved, at least there were enough cannon fodder to block the knife for them in the battle.

Lynn and Ta Dun are also on this team. Unlike the other numberers, however, Gandalf gives them a lot of leeway, and perhaps their prestige to be supported by their own soldiers in battle. Their participation also added a layer of security to Hu Bin's bodyguard mission.

The numberers who remained in the White City to rely on the Regent's forces were not many, and they were not the bosses who had previously obtained the status of lords. Aside from the small number of troops accumulated in previous missions, there are few additional troops to replenish, which is also the embarrassment of the Gondor faction, which has many enviable special classes to recruit. However, the threshold for recruitment is too high to stop most of the numberers, and in general they are not as good as those numberers in the Rohan camp, and they can at least recruit some Rohan militia.

However, the numbered person who can enter the world of the Lord of the Rings still has a bit of capital. Although the number of numberers in the team is less than 40 people, many of them themselves have some of their own retinues and troops, and there are three hundred people in total, although most of these soldiers are not strong cannon fodder, but this is still beyond Hu Bin's previous expectations, he originally thought that the size of the team would not exceed 150 people.

"It looks like these guys have brought out all their housekeeping capital!" Hu Bin secretly thought that it seemed that other people still lacked confidence in this surprise attack mission, but this was not something that Hu Bin could care about.

"Your Excellency Reed, let's go!" Vader reminded him that his attitude towards Hu Bin was not as arrogant as that of the others, on the one hand, because of Hu Bin's elf status and high prestige, and on the other hand, among these people, Hu Bin's men were the most well-equipped, and the nearly thirty heroic knights were too conspicuous.

"Okay, Mr. Vader, but I'd say that you'd better decide with Mr. Rainmes who will be in command as soon as possible, after all, I can't keep giving orders in your place." Hu Bin has a bit of a headache, the competition between the two nobles is fierce, and they would rather let Hu Bin command temporarily than let the other party seize the command, but Hu Bin is a little unjustified after all, although those numbered people can accept the command of the aborigines because of the task, it does not mean that they will accept his orders.

"So you're willing to support me?" Vader said that he really wanted the elf's support so that he could hold on to Reynmus.

"I was only commissioned by His Excellency Gen Gandalf to assist you." Hu Bin couldn't stand Vida's entanglement, and directly moved out of Gandalf's name and rejected him.

"It's a pity, but please rest assured, Renams and I are still on point, and we will resolve the issue of the ownership of the command as soon as possible." Vinda is worthy of being a nobleman, and after seeing Hu Bin's impatience, he immediately put away the idea of soliciting, but whether he said this is under the idea of retreating is not something that Hu Bin can guess.

"I hope so!" Hu Bin led his troops into the secret passage first, while the others followed.

……

As night fell, bonfires lit in the orc camp. They ate the coarse black bread with clear water, and swallowed their own dinner with difficulty, because the supply lines had been harassed by humans, and the daily rations of ordinary orcs had been reduced to one meal a day, and it was all such inferior food that only some elite orc commanders could get a little meat and turbid wine.

The camp was built on the ruins of the fortress of Ojo, and instead of trying to repair all the fortifications here, the orcs simply cleared a decent garrison and simply repaired the walls facing the White City, because they did not believe that humans would have the courage to leave the city and wait until the main army arrived. There's no value in garrisoning here.

Fangs were in charge of the night's guards, and although he was given an extra half of the bread for it, the food was tumbling in his stomach, but it still couldn't counteract the hunger.

Suddenly, the beast fang asked for a familiar smell, it was the smell of humans, and he couldn't forget the smell of human flesh after he had first tasted human flesh after sacking a human caravan with his troops.

"It must be those pesky human mercenaries!" The beast fangs did not raise their vigilance because of this, and in the process of storming this fortress. A group of human mercenaries played a huge role. Although the beast fangs don't like those humans, they will not take the initiative to provoke those powerful guys, after all, their methods seem to be the same as the legendary mages, and they are not easy to mess with at all.

The beast tooth stamped his numb foot. He changed to a more comfortable position and leaned back against the city wall, ready to sneak a nap while the captain was not looking, but what he didn't know was that a dark shadow was secretly clinging to the city wall. Quietly approached him.

The shadow cautiously bared his head, startled at the sight of the beast's fang, but then noticed that the orc was snoring with his back to him. Immediately drew a short blade.

In his dream, he dreamed that he was gulping down human flesh, and the rich fragrance made him feel unbearable, but a piece of meat suddenly stuck in his throat, and although he tried to swallow hard, he never succeeded, and he finally failed to wake up, and fell silent in his nightmare.

The black shadow pulled out the short blade from the orc's throat and rubbed it against the orc's body in disgust, then used a special powder to mask the smell of blood, and beckoned to a blind spot under the city walls.

"Ready to go!" Ta Dun lurked in the shadow of the city wall, and after seeing Lin calmly climb the city wall to attack and kill the half-orc sentries and send a signal of safety, he decisively greeted the other companions behind him and moved together like the city gate.

Although Gandalf commanded the main army towards the exit of the secret passage in the northern part of the fortress, he still left some of his men to try to destroy the gate in front of the fortress to prepare for both sides, and if the surprise attack failed, they could also calmly retreat from the city gate. This was when Lynn and her thieves came in handy, and after clearing out some of the orc sentries, the rest of the men who were ambushed near the city walls carried a spiked tin can under the city gate, and then extended the fire rope into it, and then returned to the hiding place to continue lurking.

"Well done, Lynn!" Seeing Lin silently return to his position, Ta Dun couldn't help but admire, although the strength of this companion is not as good as his own, but his understanding of the assassin profession is quite profound, and he also has a group of special soldiers and followers who are also proficient in this way, if it is arranged properly, even if he doesn't pay attention, he may be assassinated by her, let alone the group of orcs.

The task that the two took over was originally given to Hu Bin by Gandalf, but Hu Bin was unable to protect the two nobles, and he was not worried about the ability of the other numbered people, so when he was struggling, Lin and Ta Dun took the initiative to take over the task, and with the means of the two of them, even if they were discovered by the orcs, they had a chance to escape.

"Now I'm waiting for the signal from Reed's side, I believe that this big firework can give a big surprise to those half-orcs." Ta Dun muttered as he watched the night grow deeper and deeper, and Lynn gave him a noncommittal look. It would be a lie to say that the two of them were not nervous, but after staying with Reed for so long, they found that they gradually developed a sense of dependence on that guy, which was not a good sign, so the two wanted to give it a try when Hu Bin received this task.

At the exit of the secret passage in the north of the Orc Fortress, Gandalf found the Icyrian Ranger survivors who were waiting to meet them here, and at the same time got the layout of the Orc camp, they also unexpectedly found that the Orcs had docked a large number of river crossing ships in the harbor of the Orc Fortress, perhaps because the Orcs felt that the ships were safe here and would not be attacked by the humans roaming nearby, but they may have miscalculated, because the humans were not only targeting the ships, they wanted to take the fortress back.

"The arrangement at the gate has been successful, Gandalf, we can begin." Hu Bin saw his communication rune flicker a few times, and learned that Lin and Ta Dun had succeeded, and immediately conveyed this message to Gandalf.

"Good!" Gandalf raised his head and said to the squad commanders around him: "Warriors of Gondor, everyone must know the importance of this operation, if we can't take this fortress tonight, then the main force of the orcs and siege engines will then appear under the walls of the White City without hindrance, and at that time we will really be in a catastrophe, when is the time of life and death, that is, now, for Gondor, act!"
