Chapter 163: Attack and Defense of the White City (3)
After successfully retreating to the third layer, Hu Bin and his party breathed a sigh of relief for a while and began to observe the current situation, Hu Bin had never seen how strong the lord-level numbered person was before, and today he finally saw it.
The three lord-level numberers were worthy of being in operation in Gondor for more than a year, and the total number of troops under them was about 800, and the number of numberers and their subordinates who were called to stay there by them made the strength of more than a thousand people. However, most of these troops were cannon fodder of the militia class with weak constitution, they were not members of the militia group in the White City establishment, and all the weapons and equipment had to be shared by the numberers, and some even had only an inferior horn bow.
However, before leaving, Hu Bin still left the remaining arrows under his command to the Hebrews, so that their militia archers who were on the verge of running out of ammunition could hold on a little longer, but these archers were fine against the orc soldiers, and they were really no threat to the cunning numberers.
The soldiers under the three lords are slightly better, at least fully equipped and have undergone professional military training, but they are still not the main force to resist the numberers, their role is only to occupy the terrain advantage to resist the large number of half-orc soldiers, and the elite monster trolls and many hostile faction numberers are dealt with by them who are also numbered.
"Resist, resist!" At the gate on the second floor, a group of Gondor soldiers were holding the gate under the command of the captain, and two trolls were constantly bombarding the gate with hammers outside the gate, seeing that the gate was about to be opened, and the Hebrews also came to the gate at this time.
"Those who have ultimate, prepare their ultimate, and those who don't have take out their crossbow arrows, and it's time to brush up points!" The wild wolf roared loudly at the front of the array, stimulating the most primitive ** in the hearts of many numberers. Everyone knows that behind the door are full of orcs and numbered people.
"Give up the door! Retreat, retreat! Seeing that the numbered ones were ready to meet the enemy, the aboriginal captain immediately retreated with his men, and the gate was opened in two bombardments.
An ogre rushed in by inertia, and found that the damn gate had finally been opened by himself. He yelled excitedly, and then saw a group of humans looking at him with a greedy look on the other side. Even the troll, which had a little brainless brain, knew that something was wrong, and it tried to take a step back, a move that brought it a catastrophe.
A terrifying-sounding bowstring sounded, and a dense stream of crossbow bolts covered every inch of the troll's front, and the huge body was violently knocked back two or three steps. Then the trolls let out a scream and fell to the ground, and the blood flowed to the ground in a few moments.
But the orcs behind didn't care about what was happening in front of them, they stepped on the huge corpse of the trolls and rushed over, and then they were hit even harder.
"Alchemy Bomb!" "Withered Touch!" "Arc light!" "Weakness!" ……
Colorful mid-range and long-range physical and magical attacks instantly covered the small space at the city gate, and the orcs first enjoyed the taste of weakening magic, and then took a bath in various attack methods such as corrosive flames, frozen cuts, etc. In the end, he was killed by an unknown number of explosives. Based on the principle of quick and slow hands, the numberers used practical actions to tell the orcs the fact that the power of greed is endless.
Even several numbered people from the dark camp were killed in this round of attacks, they didn't expect that they would be ambushed by the numbered people on the opposite side just now when they reached the second floor of the White City, they thought that they could rush in and kill them as soon as they opened the city gate, but they didn't expect to bury their lives before they could react.
The violent spell fluctuations in front of them made the dark camp numberers waiting outside pause, but the orc soldiers had no scruples. Their mission is to charge and charge until there is no more enemy in the White City. Another trolls rushed in with heavy armor, and the orcs hid behind it and slowly advanced. But less than five meters away, the trolls stepped into the footsteps of their previous kind, and soon fell to the ground with a crossbow bolt in its arms. With the blessing of various energy combat skills, the volley power of the crossbow arrows of the numbered ones has reached a qualitative level, and the iron armor on the trolls has not had the effect it should have at all.
However, the orcs achieved their goal, as they rushed out of the troll's side the moment it fell, taking advantage of the opportunity of the opposing enemy to wind up the crossbow arrows, quickly closing the distance between the two sides, trying to draw the numbered ones into a melee situation.
The Hebrews had thought of this happening before. Their solution was very simple and crude, and that was to delay time with the lives of their soldiers. Large numbers of human soldiers took the place of the numbered ones and rushed to the front, forming a wall of flesh and blood at the gates of the city, dragging the orcs to their feet, while the numbered ones retreated with small troops. It seems that he wants to take advantage of it and run.
"Lawrence, the Hebrews and their men are about to run away, don't you have any ideas?" A numbered man in heavy black armor muffled, the armor enveloping his body so that no one could see the expression on his face.
"Mind yourself, Jack!" A numbered person, burder than Jack in armor, walked up from Lawrence and stood in front of him.
The black-armored numbered man named Jack confronted the person standing in front of him for a moment before he spoke: "Lawrence, don't think that you can walk on my head because you have incorporated that group of mourning dogs, your little cleverness is useless in the face of absolute strength, fight passively here, and wait until the Witch King comes here, see how you explain." Jack then turned and walked towards the gate with his numberers, not wanting to miss the opportunity to hunt the numberers on the other side.
"Bieber, thank you!" Lawrence, who had been silent, suddenly whispered at this time, and the burly numbered person turned his head, he was Bieber the Ripper who had been defeated by Hu Bin in the Fagon Forest before, and it was obvious that he had returned to his old job as a bodyguard this time, and the image was Lawrence.
"It's nothing, it's just a reward for taking us in, I've long seen that Jack guy is not pleasing to the eye." Bieber said lightly. But it still didn't retreat behind Lawrence.
"Hey!" Lawrence knew what Bieber meant, and every time he stood beside him in silence like this, he had something to ask himself. "Hebrew is not the kind of person who gives up easily, I know more or less about the main quest of the Gondor-level numberers, since they have sent so many troops, they must be planning something. Maybe it's a little showdown between us and them, since Jack wants to go, no one can stop him, but it's impossible for him to pull us into the water. ”
"I knew you wouldn't agree to him, but there were so many orc soldiers here, and trolls to help. Wouldn't it be a disadvantage to Gondor's side, they were already reluctant to resist just by resisting, what could they do against us? Bieber glanced back at the eager numberers who were slowly entering the front line, and seemed to think that there was nothing wrong with Jack's actions.
"I don't know!"
"Don't know?"
"I don't know if I don't know!" Lawrence didn't care about Bieber's more confused expression, and pursed his lips and stopped talking.
"One more thing I want to warn you!" Bieber temporarily put away the doubts in his heart and raised his head and said, "I don't know if that guy came to Gondor's side, but you have to be careful of a guy named Reed. ”
"Reed? It seems that the name has been heard somewhere. Lawrence muttered as he hid most of his face in the shadow of his hood.
"Offense. Kill these crumbs in my way, and don't let the cowards on the other side run away! "Jack poured into the battlefield with a large group of numberers, causing a wave of blood among the Terran soldiers, and after the already slightly stronger orc soldiers received reinforcements, the speed of clearing the miscellaneous soldiers became easier and faster.
"I'll come back and settle accounts with you when I kill these numberers, Lawrence!" Jack slashed the Gondor militia standing in his way in two with a single sword, blood spraying on his pitch-black armor. And the armor seemed to come to life to absorb the blood, and Jack's movements after that seemed to be a little faster.
Bloodfiend Jack, one of the strongest numbered in Sauron's faction, has the terrifying skill of Bloodthirsty Mania, and he didn't know that he had obtained the matching Bloodthirsty Demon Armor in that world. In battle, whether it is the blood of the enemy or the blood of his companions, even Jack's own blood can trigger the blessing of the state of Bloodthirsty Mania, which greatly enhances his three main attributes in addition to knowledge accidents, and the Bloodthirsty Demon Armor can absorb the enemy's blood to store bloodline energy, and can also supplement the energy consumed by Jack's Bloodthirsty Mania while increasing armor defense. Make him a real killing machine on the battlefield.
Just as the Anti-Sauron Alliance is also divided into several factions such as the Kingdom of Lohan and the Kingdom of Gondor, the dark camp where Jack is located is naturally divided into several factions, such as the extinct Saruman faction, the faction under the Seven Rings led by the Witch King, and the faction directly under the Demon Lord Sauron. among these factions. Only Sauron's direct faction has few numbered people, and the most trusted under Sauron's command are still a large number of elite orc commanders, and the other two factions have become the main belonging of the dark faction numberers, and among the existing Ringwraiths, Lawrence and Jack are representative figures.
Where there are people, there is strife, but because of the distance between them, there is no competition between the two factions of Saruman and the Ringwraith, so there is a strife within the faction. Lawrence and Jack had restrained themselves before, one of them was operating in the area of the Rune, and the other followed the main force of the orcs to attack the fortress of Ojo, and there was not much where the two forces could clash in peacetime. However, due to the loss of the fortress of the Olympic city, and the defeat to Lawrence in the battle for the remnants of the Saruman camp, Jack, who was originally superior, was chased by Lawrence, forming a situation of one mountain and two tigers, and then the two fought openly and secretly in various fields, and finally found that they could not deal with each other for the time being, and then formed the current standoff situation.
However, Jack had suffered a lot from Lawrence's calculations before, and gradually lost his original high position among his own numberers, and he was unwilling to try to save some face in this operation, and he could also use the reason of fear of war to find trouble with Lawrence from the Witch King.
Seeing the prey on the opposite side running farther and farther, Jack was a little irritable, although the surrounding Gondor militia did not pose any threat to him, but his strength had not yet reached the point of invulnerability, and Jack, who was annoyed by this group of lowly soldiers, finally broke out his signature skill bloodthirsty mania.
The blood flowing on the ground turned into repeated blood under the traction of inexplicable power, and was absorbed by the black armor, and the original black armor turned into a dark red color. And as the surrounding killings and the absorption of blood and qi became more and more vivid.
Jack's bare eyes were already glowing with an eerie red light, and his attacks opened and closed widely, becoming more lethal and faster, and under his lead. The surrounding orc soldiers also tried their best to avoid where Jack was, for fear of being cut down by this terrible fellow as an enemy.
The numberers of the other dark factions also used various consumable energy combat techniques to speed up the killing, and they were afraid that the numberers of the Gondor faction would run into the three-story wall, which would make it very difficult to catch them again.
"Daile, it's up to you!" The Hebrews saw that the opposite numberer had fully intervened in the battle that followed. He said to his companion beside him.
"You and the wolf will be paid when you remember!" Lord Dale took out a tube of potion from his chest, and handed the bottle of bright red potion with residual warmth to the wolf beside him, and the wolf couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and carefully took the piece of the potion, and walked to the enemy on the opposite side under the protection of a team of numbered people.
As a female numbered lord, compared to the other two. Dale's presence is not too high, and the number of numberers under her is not very large, and most of them are regarded as Hebrew vassals by others in the Council of Lords, but only Hebrew knows Dale's role.
In order to complete the task of the Orc Killer in the side quest, the numberers of Gondor formed a team to go to Isenger to farm the Orcs, and as the initiator of this campaign, Hebrew met Dael, who was also a lord, during that operation. And apart from being amazed by her charms, Hebrew found nothing else remarkable about Lord Dale.
The hunt was a success, and Saruman, who had not yet shown his ambitions, was still the speaker of the White Council, and he thought that the small group of numbered orcs who had hunted the orcs was the work of a more cunning bandit group, and then sent more troops to keep the vicinity of Isengar safe. And when Saruman was ambushed by the numbered ones and tried to retaliate in anger, the numbered ones who had completed their intended goal had long since dispersed, and the black cauldron was planted on the kingdom of Rohan, which was closer to Eichinger.
The lords who had met the number of orcs killed when clearing their territory also became the first numberers to complete side quests, even before the numberers of the Rohan faction. The Hebrews were decisive in allocating those twenty temporary attributes to strength. And to his surprise, Lord Dale actually assigned those attributes to knowledge.
But Lord Dale not only did so, but also bought some items that increased his knowledge attributes from the numberers of the Gondor faction, which made Hebrew curious about what the lady wanted to do. After the establishment of the Lordship Alliance, the numbered lords were generally suppressed and excluded by the White City. Due to the lack of resources, Lord Dale found Hebrew, who was on good contact at the time, and revealed a secret to him. By sharing this secret, Lord Dale became Hebrew's most loyal ally, and Hebrew began to fully support Lord Dale.
"Orc Frenzy Potion Recipe
Attributes: After being learned, three vials of Orc Frenzy Elixir can be produced according to the recipe.
The number is required to have at least the formal qualifications of an alchemist or apothecary, and a knowledge attribute of 40 points or more.
Synopsis: A by-product recipe that the white-robed wizard Saruman stumbled upon while developing the Orcs.
Orc Frenzy Elixir
Grade: Elite
Attributes: Causes creatures with orc blood within a certain range to fall into a state of frenzy, greatly increases the combat effectiveness of the target while causing the target to lose all reason, lasts for twenty minutes, and the target will fall into total exhaustion after the frenzy state is over, and has a certain chance to trigger the lethal state.
Introduction: Failure products, use with caution! ”
The recipe that was supposed to have been disposed of by Saruman somehow appeared on the body of a strong orc, and was obtained by Lord Dale, who accidentally killed him. The shrewd Lord Dale had momentarily thought of the importance of this item, but the demands of its use were desperate.
At this stage where the numberer generally lacks energy attack means, the energy ceiling added by an extra twenty points of knowledge cannot increase much combat effectiveness, even a guy with many spell means like Hu Bin will not be willing to squander these attribute points on knowledge, and in the case that there is no force to ensure his own safety in the early stage, the increase in combat power generated by this is completely disproportionate.
The main attribute has always been the foundation of the numberer's survival in the mission world, and in the early stage of the lack of magic means, in order to improve their combat effectiveness faster, most of the numberers choose the force-sensitive route, and only a small number of numberers with different talents can choose the charm route, but few people have any expectations for the knowledge attribute. Although the series of bonus effects on spells in the attribute description are eye-catching, but thinking of the difficulty of obtaining spell skills, except for some guys who think they are geniuses who have invested a lot of attribute points into it, everyone else is not very interested in this attribute. And it turns out that those guys did not become the first division, but lost their competitiveness in the punishment of failure in mission after mission.
The lesson of blood kept flashing through Dale's mind, but the twenty-point temporary attribute bonus gave her a wonderful opportunity, and after spending a lot of money to acquire a batch of items with knowledge attribute bonuses, her knowledge attribute finally exceeded 40 points. For a long time afterward, Dale spent time in the White City Apothecary Association, and in order to become a full-fledged apothecary, she even stopped the development of her territory, and all the resources released were invested in the study of potions, and after receiving the support of the Hebrews, her progress in pharmacy reached the extreme, and every day she was in a race against the arrival of the orc army.
After a large amount of resources and her own efforts, Dale finally completed her studies as a pharmacist and became a junior pharmacist with spatial identification, and after failing to sum up her experience when configuring the Madness Elixir for the first time, she successfully produced two bottles, and one bottle was secretly consumed to test the effect of the potion, and the last bottle is now in the hands of the wolf.
"Hey, I'm here to surprise you!" With a hideous smile, the wolf threw the flask in his hand with all his might under the protection of a group of companions, and the bright red potion crossed a long parabola in mid-air, fell into the battlefield ahead, and shattered on the helmet of a half-orc.
