A loud explosion came from the main entrance of the fortress, and the fortified gate was blasted for two days under the astonished gaze of the orcs on duty, and even the walls and the orc tents that were relatively close to it were partially affected.

"Enemy attack!" Although the orcs looked a little flustered in this sudden explosion, they quickly calmed down, after all, no other force would do such an attack except humans, and if the opponent was a human, the orcs would not be afraid.

"It's great that this group of humans actually dares to take the initiative to step out of their turtle shells, and kill them with me!" An elite orc roared and rallied his men, but before the orcs could gather, a dense rain of arrows covered where they were.

The human army lurking in the camp began to attack, and they began to attack the orc army that had just stepped out of the tent before they fully reacted, and the elite orcs who tried to organize the orcs to gather were their primary target. The Icyrian rangers with excellent archery skills, but dealing with these orc elites who are not surrounded by guards is a matter of arrows.

But the number of Terran soldiers who infiltrated the fortress was too scarce, after all, in the face of ten times the number of half-orcs, although they had the advantage of sneak attacks in the early stage, they still let some half-orcs gather, and the half-orcs held their half-body shields under the command of the elite orcs, and began to unfold the envelope against these enemies who infiltrated the fortress in an organized manner, and the crossbowmen also began to counterattack the human archers sporadically.

But it wasn't just the human soldiers who infiltrated the fortress, a group of numbered ones stepped out of the array of archers. Rushing into the crowd of half-orcs who had gathered, although they had no rules and cooperation, but with their strong personal strength, they set off a bloody storm among the half-orcs, and the delicious and juicy mobile military feats of the half-orc elite were the targets they were vying for.

"Resist, resist, surround them for me, you idiots, can't you even beat a bunch of humans?" An orc commander roared angrily, trying to boost the morale of his soldiers. But it didn't change the situation of the rapid rout of the orcs. The originally vulnerable human beings were greatly surprised by his expectations, and they quickly defeated the troops he had organized and stood up when his own side had a numerical advantage.

"Fuck off, you useless bunches!" The orc commander saw that some humans had even killed him in front of him, and angrily pushed away the soldiers who stood in his way. Draw your longsword and prepare to take out the enemy yourself.

The numbered one, who had rushed into the depths of the half-orc, suddenly saw the large fish that he had been paying attention to for a long time rushing towards him. Overjoyed. Immediately abandoning the orc soldier who had been knocked down by himself and waiting to be replaced, he raised his weapon and slashed at the orc commander.

"Damn, you're rushing too deep. Come back and form a defensive line to protect me, and the orcs will be pressing down. Although Rainmus was loudly commanding his nominal subordinates, the numberers did not take his orders seriously in the face of the military exploits that were close at hand.

"Do you really think they're going to listen to you?" Vader gloated at Reynms's side, and after seeing the difference in strength between the numberers and himself, he dismissed the idea of mastering them, and even handed over the command to Reynms.

"If only Lord Reed were here!" Seeing that the group of mercenaries completely ignored him, Rainmus couldn't help but think of the time when Reed was there before, although he himself didn't have much affection for that elf, but after all, his strength could suppress these unruly mercenaries.

The previous numbered person gasped for breath with the blood-stained sword in his hand, half of the orc commander's body was at his feet, his dead eyes revealing a look of disbelief, while the few orc soldiers gathered around him were hesitant to step forward, their barren brains were conveying an emotion to them, that is, fear.

But there was a horn from the rear of the orc camp, and when the horn was heard, both the human side, including the numbered ones, and the orc soldiers on the verge of collapse on the front line changed color.

The orc soldiers who were still pestering the numberers in front of them suddenly went berserk and entangled the numbered ones like crazy, and then arrows from the rear covered them along with the enemy.

"Retreat!" I don't know which numbered person shouted, and the numbered ones who had made enough money retreated to the area where the archers were, facing the orc army that finally fully reacted, and then entangled with those half-orc soldiers who were not afraid of death.

Facing the army of half-orcs who were approaching, Vader's face turned a little pale, although he and his father had exterminated the half-orcs together, and also killed the robbers who were also humans, it was by no means that he had never seen a bloody chick, but when so many half-orc soldiers pounced together, he still couldn't suppress the fear in his heart.

The sir who commanded the archers had been killed, he had been unlucky enough to be shot in the head by a stray arrow, and the Terran archers, who had lost their command and began to shoot freely, began to rout, and some of the orcs who had bypassed the numbered ones in front of them had begun to harass them.

"Rainmus, hurry up there and take over the archer troops, or they'll collapse!" Vader shouted, but Renamus seemed to be intimidated by the orc's onslaught, and did not react at all, still calling for help from the numbered ones. Vader didn't expect that Reynms, who usually looked very strong, would be so bold.

"It can't go on like this." Holding back the fear in her heart, Vader slammed her throbbing heart with her trembling hands before running towards the archers.

"Divide into two teams to cover each other and take turns to retreat, you idiots, won't you gather fire to attack the enemy in close quarters, where is the usual training, the country might as well feed your food to the dogs." Vader, who had been holding back a breath of anger, finally broke out under the torment of anger and fear, and her voice, which was still a little trembling, became more and more determined. Seeing that someone began to command, the archers calmed down, and Renamus did look like a nobleman, and at this time the soldiers did not care who was in command. With good coordination, the human troops in the fortress finally stabilized their positions and began to slowly retreat.

". Where is the support? One of the numbered ones shouted after cutting down the orc soldiers in front of him, but no one answered him, and the attendants beside him had already blocked the sword for him, and the other numbered ones were also caught in a bitter battle, and the previously planned support had not arrived.

Just as the numberers were about to hold on to the oil on the soles of their feet, a dense sound of horses' hooves came from not far away.

A half-orc soldier near the gap in the city gate heard the sound of horses' hooves, and subconsciously looked in the direction where the sound came from, and a war hammer flew towards his face, and the huge momentum directly tore the muscles in his neck, and the headless body flew to the side. Knocked down several nearby orcs.

Tadun led his berserkers straight into the fortress. The berserkers turned into a frenzied state, maintaining the last of their sanity under the soothing of the singer, trying to thwart the orcs' attempts to plug the gap.

And Lin quietly hid on the city walls, and a crossbow shot through the throat of the orc elite guarding the place. The orcs who were close to each other fell directly into a state of fighting on their own.

The orcs finally realized something. They waited for the city wall. But their movements were still a beat slower, and in the wilderness outside the city, a large number of human knights were attacking the gap at the city gate.

Tower Shield saw the cavalry coming from behind. He hid to the side with his retinue, and the berserkers who had fallen into a frenzy were not something he could recall, and when he chose such soldiers as his subordinates, Ta Dun had already realized that he had lost them.

The cavalry of the brigade passed through the gap at the fortress gate and charged at the unprepared orcs, the scattered array of which could not stop the cavalry's charge, and large swaths were slaughtered by the galloping knights.

"For the glory of Gondor." The knight at the head of the line shouted a slogan and rushed into the crowd of orcs, then fell into the middle of the battlefield, but his companions shouted the same slogan and continued the charge against the orcs.

Where did Hu Bin go at this time?

Hu Bin lurked in the Anduin River with a piece of water on his body, and the chaos in the fortress caused most of the orc guards guarding the harbor to be transferred, and this small group of orcs was very unlucky to be attacked by Hu Bin's group.

The holy sword slashed through the throat of the orc and brought out a bloody sword, the orc covered his wound and twitched twice before falling to the ground, the orcs who smelled the smell of blood noticed the situation here, and after seeing that there was only one human, they all yelled at Hu Bin in a chaotic orc language.

"Do you like group fights?" Hu Bin raised his sword and pointed forward, and Ted rushed out of the water with the others, and fought the orc guards.

After Hu Bin saw that the heroic knights gradually gained the upper hand in the battle, he no longer paid attention to the battle situation there, and began to concentrate on arson. In order to burn down the ships here, Hu Bin also deliberately brought a few barrels of fire oil from the Silver Moon in the space.

Soon, under the manipulation of Hu Bin's Flame Hand, the fire in the harbor began to grow larger and more uncontrollable, and even the nearby orc camp was partially ignited. Looking at the fire that was gradually spreading, Hu Bin looked a little overwhelmed, he completely underestimated the power of these fire oils.

"Master!" Ted returned to Hu Bin's side with a bloodstain, and after staying in the initial space for too long, he felt that his body was about to rust, but fortunately, the previous fight made him warm up and regain some of his previous feelings, and his tone was still full of strong fighting intent

"Let's go!" After seeing that the orcs here were killed by his men, Hu Bin led these people to the main battlefield.

When Hu Bin returned to the battlefield with his knights, he saw a massacre, although the orcs who had experienced the sneak attack had organized many armies, but they were not equipped with spears to deal with the cavalry, and there was almost nothing to do in the face of the knights who were sprinting at full speed.

Seeing Gandalf leading the rest of the infantry to take over the city wall, Hu Bin breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly began to search for Vader and Renams.

Because of the arrival of the main force, the soldiers and numberers who infiltrated the fortress also launched a counterattack, Hu Bin saw at a glance that Vader, who was in front of the archers, was directing the troops to attack, although it was a little strange to see that it was not Rains who was in command, but seeing that these two guys were still alive, Hu Bin was much more relieved.

The sparks in the orc camp have turned into a raging fire, and the cavalry is constantly interspersed with the half-orcs who are in a mess. Don't give them a chance to organize resistance. The small number of wolf cavalry and crossbowmen who threatened the knights were treated with great pride, so that they were killed by the fire before they could do anything.

After two hours of devastation, the orcs finally gave up their useless resistance and began to rout, some of them escaped from the fortress and fled in all directions in the wilderness outside the fortress, but they were soon chased and suppressed by the cavalry, while the other part tried to flee from the harbor to the east coast by boat, but soon found that the ships in the harbor had been burned by the enemy who had lurked at some point.

Dawn had finally arrived, but beneath the dark canopy Sauron had created. Sunlight is a real luxury for the weary human warriors. The waters of the Anduin River were stained red with blood. The corpses floating inside seemed to tell the horror of last night's battle. After the Kingdom of Gondor captured the fortress of Aufort, it quickly organized a large number of men to clean up the city. The corpses of the orcs were thrown directly into the Anduin River, while the corpses of their own were gathered and incinerated, and the ashes were brought back to the White City to be distributed among their relatives.

In the end, not a single orc survived, and the 5,000 troops in the fortress were almost completely annihilated. The human side recaptured the fortress after losing about 500 cavalry. In fact, from the moment the gate of the fortress was blown up. The fate of the orcs in the fortress was already sealed.

A large number of militias who had been drafted and armed were stationed in the fortress. But their greatest role was to repair the fortress rather than defend it. It is estimated that now the orcs have known the news of the fall of the fortress, and are speeding up to here, waiting for the main force of the orcs to wait for Gondor. The good news is that the orc's ship was burned by Hu Bin. This prevents them from attacking the fortress immediately.

Vader led a group of soldiers around the walls of the riverbank, and his heroic command was promoted by the soldiers to replace the previous knight as a true commander of the archer team, while Rainmus, who was with him, fled back to the White City in disgrace from the disdainful gaze of the others.

"Lord Reed!" Vader saw a sturdy figure crouching on the battlements of the wall, discussing something with the two human mercenaries beside him.

"Yo, Captain Vader." Hu Bin looked at the much more stable aristocratic young man and said hello, it is rare for him to be promoted several levels in a row to take over the official squadron leader military position, but his merits and performance are fully worthy of this position.

"What are you discussing?" Vader ordered the soldiers accompanying him to continue his rounds, while he himself saluted the other two mercenaries and stepped forward, not daring to underestimate the strength of the other two, who had blown up the gates of the fortress.

"Nothing! What's the matter? "Hu Bin is actually discussing the whereabouts of the numberers of the hostile camp with Lin and Ta Dun, and according to the intelligence of the other numberers, they have not been found in the fortress of Aocheng, but these things cannot be explained to Vader.

"Your Excellency Master Gandalf has told you to come to him!" Vader didn't pay much attention, he just asked casually, he had tried to recruit the three to work for his family, but later found out that it was just a luxury.

"Gandalf? I'll go. Hu Bin touched the space ring on his finger, and after the series of tasks of recruiting numberers, protecting the two nobles and sneaking up on the port were completed, the magic book that Gandalf promised him was put inside, although it was a little incompatible with his own spell system, but it could also be touched. In his eyes, Gandalf is a good old man who gives prestige and equipment, although sometimes he will pit himself once, but the reward after that will definitely satisfy him.

Hu Bin had just wanted to get up and go to the camp, but he suddenly stopped and looked across the river, where he felt a strong sense of unease, which was all too familiar.

"It's the Ringwraith, they're coming." As soon as Hu Bin's words fell, a terrible chirp came from a distance, and a ring spirit wrapped in black armor appeared in the sky sitting on the body of a flying dragon.

With this roar, blurred figures appeared on the horizon, and then quickly covered the land in the distance. The huge torque trebuchet slowly advanced under the drag of the trolls, and more often it was the tall siege towers and siege ladders, but these did not move Hu Bin, but the desperate army of orcs really scared Hu Bin.

An army of 70,000 and a half orcs was displayed on the other side of the river, and after receiving the defeat of the fortress of Ojo on the front line, they quickened their march, and finally reached the banks of the Anduin River at 8 a.m. and set up camp, across the river from the humans in the fortress, and blatantly cut down the surrounding trees to make boats to cross the river.

When Hu Bin came to Gandalf, he found that Boromir was also there, and the faces of the generals around him were a little ugly, after all, what he heard and what he saw were completely different things, and when 70,000 and a half orcs really appeared in front of them, the blow to morale was not a little bit.

Without waiting for Hu Bin to ask, Gandalf took out a piece of information that seemed to have just been opened and handed it to Hu Bin.

"Is this an urgent message from the Northern Line?" Hu Bin finally knew what the numbered people in the fortress of Aocheng were doing, and after they captured the fortress, they went directly to the northern defense line, and assisted the Runians to repel the guerrillas of the dwarves and elves there, so that nearly 20,000 Rune troops and all the war elephant legions were liberated from harassment and rushed towards Baicheng.

"The army in the north has been recalled by my father, and there are not enough fortifications there to withstand the attack of the Rune, which means that we will face an enemy of more than 100,000 men in three days, and if the lords of the south are defeated by the desert people, this number will only be more." Boromir pointed to the map and explained the current situation to Hu Bin, and then looked at Gandalf.

"The Rune forces are outnumbered, but not a big threat, but their army of war elephants is a big problem. However, according to the information sent back by the Icyrian Ranger scouts there, the war elephants in the legion put great pressure on the supply lines of the Lune, and the Luhns also knew that their supply lines were very important, so they sent heavy troops to guard the supply routes, and also gathered a group of mercenaries to follow the supply convoy to protect it. The Icylian rangers have organized several raids, all of which have failed due to the obstruction of these mercenaries. Reed, I need you to reassemble a group of mercenaries and cooperate with the rangers there to carry out at least one raid on the Rune's supply lines, so that the number of war elephants they can dispatch will be much smaller. Gandalf hesitated at this point, but continued.

"The situation here does not allow me to give you additional support, and the ranger forces there have suffered heavy losses after two defeats, but there are several lords who are willing to send troops to help with this mission, but I am not worried about them. Reed, I want you to get there to take over that Ranger force and lead them on this mission. (To be continued......)

PS: I'm sorry, I've been on a business trip for the past two days, and the news I got was relatively sudden, so I left without saying a word to everyone, and I apologized here, and I will make up for the update as soon as possible.
