Chapter 1 The juan tu

Even though it was confirmed that the other side was almost impossible to create another earthquake, the Sauron contractor still repeatedly confirmed and deployed four contractors proficient in earth magic to monitor at any time before pushing out the newly exchanged ten heavy catapults.

To be honest, Fang Senyan was also very surprised that these guys were able to jointly exchange a full ten heavy catapults. According to the exchange price, a heavy catapult, even with various discounts, would cost at least 1,200 contribution points.

However, this thing pays for itself very quickly. Even if a single throw hits the city wall, it will have a guaranteed 5-10 contribution points, and the boulders thrown are full of infinite possibilities:

If it hits the corridor of the city wall, the casualties will definitely be more than just one soldier.

Collapsing buildings will also have excess contribution point reductions.

The boulders thrown are also surprisingly lethal, instantly killing all non-famous plot characters. If you are lucky enough to hit an official among the plot characters, the income is even more considerable.

In addition, if you can hit the catapults installed on the seven walls of Minas Tirith, basically one stone can recover half of the cost.

And in the current situation where there has not yet been a large-scale ground close combat, the contribution points of the Sauron contractors mainly come from the exchange of world relationships experienced before, but being able to raise 12,000 contribution points is still too much.

This can only indicate one thing, that is, the experience of the Sauron side's contractors in the Lord of the Rings world is not only very rich, but it can even be judged that the Blue Light team may have some special opportunities. However, since the space pushes this team out as the leader, it must have some preferential treatment.

At this time, outside the city walls of Minas Tirith, there is already a ground fissure depression as long as two or three kilometers, which looks like a curved, elongated scar on the Pelennor Fields.

Because of this ground fissure depression, the attacking side is equivalent to being unable to set up siege equipment at the golden distance for siege, but is forced to retreat thirty to fifty meters. The stones they throw could originally cover the third level of the city wall of Minas Tirith at the farthest, but now they can only barely reach the first city wall area. The defenders' catapults are not too concerned about this thirty to fifty meter distance because they have a height advantage when counterattacking.

However, after being put into actual combat at this time, it was found that with the five giant catapults hastily made by the orc side, a total of fifteen giant catapults bombarded wildly. Although about 30% of the stones, according to the estimation of the opposing alliance, fell under the first layer of the city wall of Minas Tirith due to insufficient throwing force, the remaining 70% of the stones were all concentrated on the area of the first layer of the city wall!

In this way, compared to the previous situation where the catapult attacks of the catapults were not empty, but were evenly distributed on the first, second, and third walls of Minas Tirith, although there was no danger of the second and third walls being attacked, the pressure on the first wall suddenly increased! It originally only needed to withstand 33% of the firepower, but now it has to withstand 70% of the firepower.

Moreover, unlike the scattered throwing of Sauron's catapults before, the catapults belonging to the contractors have a common command. More than a dozen giant catapults are concentrated on bombarding one point! Everyone knows that breaking a city does not require destroying all the walls, but only needs to open a hole in a complete section of the wall, so the defense pressure of Minas Tirith is also doubled.

To alleviate this huge pressure, you can only use attack against attack! The terrifying contribution points accumulated by the alliance before came into play at this time. Jax immediately convened a meeting. Since he knew that the other side had exchanged ten heavy catapults in one breath, then the alliance exchanged twenty light catapults in one breath, concentrating their firepower on the Sauron side's catapults for a burst of bombardment!

However, at this time, the individual strength of the Sauron side's contractors was strong, and the importance of the number of MTs (main tanks) was reflected! In the hail of stones, the MTs' awakening skills were added to the catapults. Although there were also situations where protection was not enough, only one heavy catapult was completely destroyed. The remaining four heavy catapults were damaged, but they could continue to be used after a hasty repair.

Although Gothmog had a pig's head, he was not really a pig after all. After seeing this situation, he dispatched the powerful ultimate power - the Nine Ringwraiths began to ride on fellbeasts to fight!

These ghostly creatures walking in the world have no joy or sorrow, and can only obtain great pleasure from killing. The dark creatures they ride flap their wings vigorously, using the buoyancy of the air to quickly circle in the sky and swoop down towards the huge and magnificent city of Minas Tirith. The dark and turbid armor of the Ringwraiths and the scales of the fellbeasts have a dark and heavy light, which is a sign that they are starting to cast spells silently at the same time!

The claws of the fellbeasts can grab at least five human soldiers at a time, and then throw them down from hundreds of feet in the air. The screams of these human soldiers during the fall are a fatal blow to the morale of the defenders.

But what hurts the defenders the most is the terrifying howl from the deep and dark mouths of the Ringwraiths. These sounds are not transmitted through the eardrums at all, but directly act on the enemy's heart, arousing their deepest fears. That feeling is as if death is about to come in the next second, and the Ringwraiths can draw strength from the enemy's fear and become even more powerful.

After a Ringwraith swoops down, it often causes the defenders of an entire section of the city wall to boil like thin porridge, at least confusing half an hour. What makes people feel even more entangled is that the alliance's embarrassing situation of lacking high-end combat power is fully demonstrated. In front of the Ringwraiths who come and go like the wind, even if multiple contractors join forces, it is difficult to give them a heavy blow! Even Gandalf's light can only temporarily drive them away!

Three minutes, hesitating for only three minutes, these monsters called in the songs of the bards: riding the shadow of dragons, turned into winged Nazgûl (Ringed Nazgul) destroyed a full seventeen light catapults. Whether it was their claws or their powerful wings, once they came into contact with the wood and metal used to build the catapults, it would inevitably cause devastating damage.

However, as Jax gritted his teeth and gave an order, a large number of contribution points were gathered together and exchanged for equally powerful Great Eagles as air support. This creature is a powerful monster living in the Misty Mountains. In the team-building mission of the ace team, Fang Senyan had dealt with one of these creatures and was well aware of their power.

However, although the Great Eagles of the Misty Mountains are powerful, it is almost impossible to defeat the Ringwraiths one-on-one. Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is necessary to use a two-on-one method to ensure that the Ringwraiths are driven away steadily - which means exchanging a terrifying eighteen Great Eagles! Such an astonishing amount of consumption can be said to have squeezed out all the extra contribution points gained by the alliance!

But so far, the advantage is still on the side of the alliance!

Because it is very simple, the first day of the siege is about to pass, and the dirty orcs have not even touched the first layer of the great Minas Tirith! Not to mention climbing it. It is hard to believe that this is the glorious achievement achieved when the Sauron side has the advantage. Thinking of this, and considering the aid of the Rohan cavalry in twenty-four hours, the momentum of victory and defeat on both sides is about to be completely reversed, and the alliance is also excited, looking forward to that day.

But at this time, Grima Wormtongue's potion played a huge role! Sauron's ten giant catapults have been tirelessly attacking and have recovered a lot of costs, so they bought a copy of Grima Wormtongue's potion and gave it to the diplomatic envoy specially cultivated in the Blue Light team to persuade Gothmog.

Sauron's remaining twelve giant catapults are simultaneously retreating to the rear. When those guys on the city wall self-righteously think they have achieved a great victory, these twelve giant catapults begin to bombard the muddy land in front of the city wall of Minas Tirith, throwing not other things, but a large amount of pebbles and river sand transported from the Anduin River!

The purpose of this catapult is to fill the muddy area, and the boulders thrown on it can also form natural shelters to avoid shooting from the city wall. Perhaps the alliance thinks it is okay to organize manpower for a mud technique once, but under natural conditions, even if the mud technique can take effect, the effect is not good. More importantly, it is easy to be detected when many earth mages cast spells together.

Although the contractors of the Sauron side do not have an advantage in number, their individual abilities are very strong. It should be difficult to interrupt the opponent's magic circle, but it is very simple to interfere or weaken the strength of their magic from a distance.

Because in the final analysis, the mud technique still needs to mobilize the earth elements in the area. The more earth elements, the better the effect. Then, use a large number of methods that consume earth elements in the target area in advance, such as summoning dozens of earth elementals, so the effect of the mud technique must be pitifully low before the earth elements in the area are naturally replenished.
