Chapter 562 Legion War
Between the Misty Mountains and the White Mountains is a long, narrow valley known as the Gap of Rohan.
Connecting Isengard and the Kingdom of Rohan.
Between the gaps, there is the Eisen River flowing from the north. The Eisen River is fast and only becomes gentle at the gap, making it suitable for crossing the river.
So this is also called the Essen River Ferry.
Because the other side belongs to the territory of the white-robed wizard Saruman, Rohan does not pay much attention to the defense here.
It's just that the Horn Castle has a distant echo, mainly to guard against the Dark Barbarians who may come back.
However, as everyone knows, the Dunlions have already pledged their allegiance to Saruman. In addition, the orc army secretly created by Saruman is ready to go on the other side, and has a force far exceeding that of Rohan nearby.
Just as the Fellowship of the Ring was heading south in this direction from Lothlórien in the north.
On the land on the side of the Essen River near Isinger, a huge army has been assembled.
A dense mass of darkness.
Saruman had spent many years concentrating his energy, cutting down forests and smelting weapons to create an army of powerful orcs, together with the Dark Barbarians who had a feud with Rohan.
In their command camp, in addition to the strong orc commander Lutzi and the leader of the dark barbarians, there were three other figures.
One of the three people is wearing a traditional robe from the Floating City, while the other two are mechanically transformed and the other has a foreign body implant. Their painting styles are quite obvious.
Three pioneers without a doubt!
Saruman claimed to have captured a group of pioneers, but at this time these three people appeared in the commander's camp openly, and they were still vaguely in the C position.
The two unruly commanders, the strong orcs and the black barbarians, were actually in a position of obeying orders at this time.
In front of their desk, there is a large green screen locator.
It looks like a very retro pixel style display.
But being able to achieve relatively precise positioning purely by relying on willpower without satellites and base station systems is already a very high-end product.
Looking at the light spot on the monitor that moved closer to the designated area, Puzi, who was wearing a white robe from the floating city, also showed a smile.
"We have arrived at the designated position. Send an order to the entire army to launch an attack. The entire Rohan garrison at the ferry will be wiped out in one day."
"I've been waiting impatiently for a long time."
The leader of the Dark Barbarians smiled sinisterly.
As the first strong orc, Lutezi roared in response.
Before Saruman left, he temporarily handed over the initiative to the three of them. This can be said to be an extremely luxurious 'trust'.
After the commanders of the two tribes left the tent and began to command the army.
The guy who looked like a lizard man and seemed to have the blood of the dragon lizard family said, "Master Puzi, now that they have started to take action, should we also find a way to save ourselves?"
While saying this, he unconsciously reached out and touched the white collar around his neck.
Not only him, but all three of them, including Puzi, had the same necklace around their necks.
With this, Saruman can control their life and death at any time.
"To put it lightly, once this thing leaves the other party's control, it will directly kill us. Now we just need to satisfy him first. Hum, these local natives are really too unruly."
Puzi's face looked a little gloomy at this time.
He came with such sincerity and brought so much information, but he was still subject to such restrictions. This really made him a little unhappy.
However, he heard that the group that went to the Dark Land did not get a good deal, which made him feel a little more balanced.
"There was news before that the 'Eight-Armed King Kong' seems to have entered this world, and according to the intelligence, he is suspected to have become a boundary breaker."
The lizard man sighed softly, his mood a little complicated.
Boundary breaker......
The dead ancestor was just a boundary breaker. The current head of the family relied on continuously piling up resources, and now he still has a shortcoming. He only used his trump card to gain the strength to deal with the boundary breaker, and he barely stabilized the situation.
When I learned this information, I was really shocked.
Even though he knew that the 'Eight-Armed King Kong' had potential and knew that his future was limitless, he never expected that it could be so fast...
I heard again that he was already a big shot that needed to be looked up to.
Born in an outer city...
"What suspicion? He is undoubtedly a boundary breaker, and he is not considered mediocre among them."
Puzi couldn't help but sneered when he heard what the other party said.
Different status and channels lead to completely different information gaps.
But when he told the news, he was also filled with jealousy.
This must be the top resource package provided by the Sun family.
A mere mud-legged person from outside the city really has no virtue or ability.
In this case, maybe the other party will join the grandson's family!
Thinking of Miss Sun's appearance, Pu Zi couldn't help but feel a deep jealousy in his heart.
"Hmph, but it's a pity that you boarded a sinking ship at the least time you should have..."
Puzi sneered in his heart.
Unlike the two guys next to him who were obsessed with saving themselves, Puzi came here on his own initiative although he was very angry about being captured.
This is all according to plan!
Bringing them together is just for cover.
If something goes wrong, there is still room for maneuver.
"Don't think about this kind of thing. Even if the Eight-Armed King Kong is a boundary breaker, he will have to do somersaults in this world if he is not careful. Let's do our own thing first."
As the horns began to sound outside, the three of them also walked out of the camp, and then saw the dark coalition troops swarming directly towards the gap in Rohan.
And when they attacked, the orcs who were already very strong seemed to have received some unique blessing. Along with bursts of black light, their bodies could not help but expand a lot.
The overall momentum also seems extremely violent...
…
Theojed was the prince of Rohan and was ordered to garrison the Gap of Rohan.
In fact, when Essinger began to gather the strong orcs and dark barbarians, he was also detected by scouts.
Although he was surprised by the direction of the attack, Théojed made preparations immediately and gathered his troops.
Rohan is famous for his cavalry, and he also has an elite cavalry team specially used to defend against the Dark Barbarians.
"What happened to Essinger? Have the Dark Barbarians captured that place? Why didn't they receive a distress signal..."
Sioged's face looked a little solemn.
But then he also remembered that a summons seemed to have been issued from the other side of the valley, and the white-robed wizard Saruman might have passed by. Is this because passengers are unprepared?
Théojed has cavalry in his hands, and the number is not large. He can now choose to retreat to the Horn Castle and wait for support.
But retreating to the Horn Castle without knowing the enemy's situation at all was unacceptable to him.
Let’s attack tentatively first, to test the opponent’s strength...
"Command the entire army to mount their horses!"
Following Théojed's order, this group of well-trained Rohan elite cavalry completed their preparations at an extremely efficient speed.
Later, based on the news that the scouts kept coming, Théojed also chose a place for the battle about twenty miles north of the ferry.
The terrain there is flat, making it easier for the cavalry to use its strengths. Moreover, if they are unable to defeat the enemy, they have room to retreat and can retreat to the Horn Fort.
This is also the reason why he dared to take the initiative when his troops were at a disadvantage!
However, when he led the cavalry to attack, he was ready to seize the opportunity to seize the terrain advantage first.
But just before arriving at their destination, they saw a team coming from the north that looked dusty.
It's the Fellowship of the Ring...
…
"No wonder Saruman has always been so honest and controlled time."
Tao Yu stood on a higher ground, looking at the cavalry formation below and the orc army crossing the river on the other side, with a hint of surprise on his face.
Such a 'coincidental' encounter was obviously specially arranged by Saruman.
"Huh? Damn it, what did those guys do while I was away?!"
Saruman also came to the front of the team with a shocked and angry expression at this time, his face gloomy.
"What's going on?"
Gandalf bit his pipe and looked a little solemn.
The direction they came from was Saruman's territory. What were those things that were somewhat similar to orcs, but stronger?
"I also recently discovered that those dark barbarians must have taken refuge in the dark forces and mixed with a group of strange orcs who appeared out of nowhere, but they have never been very successful. I didn't expect to take advantage of my departure. He actually did something like this.”
Saruman snorted coldly, hit the ground hard with his staff, and then chanted some spell in a very high voice.
There was also a powerful aura exuding from his whole body.
As soon as he spoke the first word, the ground began to shake.
Then it became more and more intense!
The voice of his curse became louder and louder.
Rumble~
Roaring floods rushed down from the upper reaches of the Eisen River.
It was as if the orc army was about to be washed away directly.
But just as the earth shook, even the cavalry and horses panicked, and the coalition of strong orcs and dark barbarians also saw the swooping flood.
Suddenly, a little ice crystal appeared on the top of the peak.
Then the ice crystals crackled and spread rapidly!
The swarming flood was actually blocked by the entire ice, forming a glacier!
The glacier pushed the ground in front of it, and continued to move forward and spread for a certain distance.
Push all nearby trees flat.
But as the ice intensified, the speed became slower and slower, and finally stopped completely.
Like a towering ice city wall!
"Huh? There are also masters."
Saruman looked amazed.
Then he grabbed Frodo and said: "Our mission is to escort the Lord of the Rings. It is not appropriate to fight. Let's leave here first and let Rohan's cavalry block it first."
It can be said that Saruman's decisive choice was quite the 'correct' behavior at this time.
After all, there is no room for error in The Lord of the Rings.
At this time, Tao Yu glanced at the orcs who were crossing the river crazily and who were obviously not normal.
Did Saruman strengthen the orcs again, or did he cooperate with secret forces and form a strong alliance?
Now the strong orcs, who were already superior to the orcs, are obviously more difficult to deal with.
The number of Rohan cavalry is obviously not enough. If they don't intervene, they may not be able to last long.
"This should be Saruman's double act, but this is exactly where I can play."
Tao Yu was not surprised but happy. She had no intention of exposing Saruman. Instead, she said loudly:
"I'll help these Rohan cavalry repel them first. Don't worry, I'm professional in this area..."
As Tao Yu finished speaking, dark shadows began to gather in his shadow.
My own Balrog and Dreadlord, as well as those high-cost boundary-breaker-level cards, don’t need to see the light of day for the time being.
For the sake of digestion right now, just use the number of low-fee cards!
The shadow of Tao Yu was twisted and quickly connected with the shadow of the nearby woods, as if forming a whole.
One after another, the shadows are alien, dripping with ink and constantly rising from the shadows on the ground, with ferocious faces.
As for the painting style?
The painting style of using Wood Release was already terrible before, but now it doesn't matter at all!
Everyone in the Ring Guard team looked at the shadow alien summoned by Tao Yu.
Seeing the alien's ferocious appearance, disgusting mouthparts, and dripping ink, I once again felt a tingling sensation in my scalp.
Zoro's painting style is not like this...
Saruman felt even worse.
This is the powerful orc army that I have worked hard to build...
"All troops attack!"
Following Tao Yu's wave, a large number of shadow aliens, low-cost cards, swarmed forward like runaway hyenas.
Even the Knights of Rohan, who were originally friendly forces, felt a sense of fear and alert.
But after all, Tao Yu is not yet a one-man army, and the number of shadow aliens that can manifest in the real world is only a few hundred, so the scene is still a bit small.
Tao Yu felt that this was not enough, and quickly rushed towards Rohan's square formation.
"Come on, let me take command and add some BUFF to you."
As long as Tao Yu can gain command authority, he can use the War Bishop's ability to bless the Rohan cavalry!
The power of the battlefield still has to be left to the people on the battlefield...
