Chapter 167: Counterattack
With a "snort", the Witch King of Angmar was stabbed in half by Edward's star, and the inertia caused Edward to slam into his body, falling from the corrupt dragon's body along with the Lord of the Rings, and falling to the ground. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Let's die together! Edward Ephemian!" cried out the Witch King of Angmar frantically, the excruciating pain in the middle of his chest distorting his voice a little, and a massive dark aura spread out in all directions, blowing Edward's hair up.
The Holy Light is an attribute that specializes in restraining darkness, and the Witch King of Angmar, who was impaled by the Stars, knew that he would not be spared, and used his last strength to firmly grasp Edward's arm, trying to throw him to his death.
"You want to kill me? At this critical juncture, Edward remained calm. He glanced at the trajectory of Alan's flight, and a strong burst of holy light erupted from all over his body.
"I'll vaporize you first!" the Witch King of Angmar was drenched in this holy light, and the dark ghost in his armor evaporated outward at a speed visible to the naked eye, snorting like hot water meets ice. His armor seemed to have no support from the wraith, shrinking rapidly, as if it had been pinched by a powerful force, and in the blink of an eye, it was crumpled into a ball.
As the soul of the Witch King of Angmar evaporated, a heart-rending ghost cry rang out on the battlefield, and almost everyone couldn't help but cover their ears.
With a single force, Edward slashed out of his armor along his head, splitting the crushed clump of armor in two, and with his other hand towards Alan, the Divine Grip accurately glued to Alan's back, pulling him back onto Alan.
When the other ringlings saw that the leader had been killed, they immediately turned around and fled towards the north.
The battle over Minas Tirith ended in the blink of an eye, and Edward struck the head of the Ringwraith, Angmar, with a surprise blow, and won the victory!
The Witch King of Angmar was the only one of Sauron's men who was able to fight well, was proficient in command, and could rival Edward, and his death dealt a heavy blow to Sauron's army and demoralized. On Gondor's side, on the other hand, the soldiers roared and shouted, shouting Edward's name, and the spirit was full of energy, and the belief in victory was born.
They really couldn't think of what Sauron's army could do to break through the walls of Minas Tirith now?
However, Sauron's army still did not retreat, and Sauron seemed determined to capture Minas Tirith, and a steady stream of orcs continued to pour out of the Minas Cave and the Black Gate of Mordor, heading towards the capital of Gondor.
The fleeing Ringwraith, seemingly restrained by Sauron, slowly flew back, but did not dare to approach Edward above the city walls, and the soldiers circled in two ways, trying to attack the trebuchet in the castle.
In the fierce battle in the air, the Wind King Kwan Hyuk flew down and blocked the attack of one of the Ringlings, and Edward manipulated Alan to bite a panicked and fleeing Ringling. The other two Ringwraiths were powerless and left them to wreak havoc in Minas Tirith, destroying several trebuchets.
At this time, there was also a loud rumbling sound from the side of the city gate, and the orcs nearby shouted "Grande", and a huge battering ram slammed into the city gate. The battering ram, which bears the same name as the Demon King's weapon, had to be pulled by several trolls for each blow, and after only two hits, the gates of Minas Tirith were already crumbling.
"Don't let them break through the gates!Open the gates!Destroy the battering ram anyway!" Edward, who was skilled, gave an order as he chased a ringwraith and kept an eye on the direction of the gate.
As Grond prepared for his third strike, Minas Tirith's gates were the first to open, and the battering ram crashed into the air!
A line of paladins in silver armor led the charge against the orcs at the gates, and they formed a neat line, their bodies flashing with holy light, roaring and raising their spears, and fearlessly rushed towards the vanguard of the orcs, the heavily armed trolls.
The heavily armored trolls saw the gates open and were about to rush into them, when they were suddenly blinded by a dazzling burst of light, and then their massive bodies were picked up by the impact of the paladins and the spears of the holy light, blocking the gates.
The five hundred paladins who followed Faramir from the Demon Hunter Fortress used their holy light and courage to stop the orcs who were trying to storm the city. Not to be outdone, Gondor's soldiers fired arrows at the orcs at the gates from the rear and on the walls.
At this point, the focus of the battlefield has shifted from the walls to the gates, and if the paladins are unable to block the attacks of the heavy trolls, the gates will be lost, and the orcs will be able to drive straight into the city.
Just as a large number of orcs were surging towards the city gate, in the northern part of the Paliano plain, a trumpet suddenly sounded.
Edward was overjoyed to hear the familiar sound of the trumpet—it was the sound of the Rohanate's trumpet, and he had no idea that the Rohanate's army would arrive so quickly.
Sure enough, on a hill, a dense group of Rohan cavalry and demon hunter paladins were ready to go, and the banners that stood up indicated that this was a large force.
Bion, who had turned into a giant bear, stood at the front of the team as always, and on his back, there was actually a dwarf golden thunderbolt!
Hiyudon, Hiyud, Iome, Eomwen, Legolas, and Hardir all stood behind Bion and Golden Bolt on horseback, their weapons held aloft. And, of course, there are two hobbits on bantams, Merry and Pippin.
"Damn orc, you Uncle Jin Li is here, you should cry!" Jin Li roared, and a holy light bloomed from his body, which was a signal to accept Edward's command.
"Stupid, even if the commander could see it, his voice wouldn't be here. Bion scolded, then roared, and took the lead in carrying the golden thunderbolt and began to charge.
"Warriors, follow your king!" Siyudon was about to say a few words of encouragement to boost his morale, but when he saw that Bion could not wait to rush out, he could only roar and start charging.
Behind them, the Knights' armored bears, paladins, Rohan hussars, holy rangers, and elven cavalry each formed a phalanx as they ran, rushing towards the rear of the orcs like a hurricane.
The arrival of reinforcements from the Rohan Kingdom and the Demon Hunter Knights only surprised the large army of Sauron, but did not frighten them. But when an army appears again northeast of the Paliano Plains, be it a murderous orc, a simple-minded troll, or a barbarian from the East. Their hearts have fallen to a low point.
It was an army of dwarves and elves, at least outnumbering the reinforcements of Gondor, Rohan, and the Demon Hunter Knights combined. At the front of this team are King Elon and Glorfindel of Rivendell, Thranduil of the Woodlands, Celepon and Galadriel of Roslorion, Thorin Oakshield and Ironfoot Dane of the Lone Mountain Dwarven Kingdom, and several dwarves from the Battle of the Five Armies.
When these famous figures from Middle-earth appeared in front of Sauron's army, the battle officially entered the stage of counter-offensive!
