Volume 12 [Creation! The Death of the Terminator!] Chapter 26: Grond

Although the Alliance did not know the intentions of Sauron's side for a while, what was the use of using precious trebuchets to fill the soil during such a critical period of time - even if it was to fill the muddy area, so what? If the city wall is not broken, is the reputation of the mainland's strongest city in vain? Were they trying to fill the first wall with orc corpses?

However, the Alliance also knows very clearly that now that every second passes like gold, it is absolutely impossible for the contractors on Sauron's side to do things in vain, so they are still sniping desperately. The giant catapults below - although these catapults only aimed to bombard the front area of ​​the city wall, they have already retreated from Minas Tirith.

outside the bombardment range of the catapults on the city wall.

But at this time, the Jazz ordered to sniper the operator of the giant catapult. Although the Orcs were rough and thick-skinned, if they couldn't drop one shot within seconds, they would send two snipers together. If two people couldn't drop within seconds, four would be on them. One hit kill.

This kind of attack undoubtedly made Sauron's contractors bleed in their hearts, but what could happen after they were shot and killed? You can only spend a lot of contribution points and grit your teeth to push it forward. Finally, on the eve of sunset, the muddy ground outside Minas Tirith was covered with a thick layer of sand and gravel from the Anduin River.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of orc slaves rushed forward, each carrying a plank on his head. Using the boulders thrown outside the city as cover, they paved a road to the gate of Minas Tirith with planks! ! !

As a fortified city on the mainland, Minas Tirith's gates are certainly extraordinary and are divided into three levels:

The first layer is made of the body of Grondos, the oak demon wood that is as famous as Treebeard, and is immune to any fire attacks!

The second layer is made of adamantine mixed with lead, and almost all ranged attacks will be absorbed in this layer.

The third layer is made of thirteen-year-old hazelwood boards mixed with mithril threads. Legend has it that the thirteenth-year-old hazelnut tree can make the most powerful wands, plus mithril threads that are highly sensitive to magic. , the four major magics of "renewal", "self-healing", "deflection field" and "advanced sliding" can be permanently fixed on it.

Therefore, it is actually a big mistake for the enemy to attack the city gate, because in terms of protective power, the city gate even far exceeds the city wall of Minas Tirith.

If a hundred huge boulders hit a place on the city wall of Minas Tirith, then it is likely that the city wall cannot withstand such an impact. However, if these one hundred boulders hit the city gate, everyone will be affected. But they can pat their chests and say that they will be safe and sound.

Therefore, the Wall of Minas Tirith is known as the "Unbreakable Wall". From the perspective of the defenders, if the enemy focuses on attacking the city gate, the defensive forces can be concentrated on one point, giving the enemies under the city more powerful and direct damage!

But there are exceptions to everything. There is no invincible city in this world. But after a moment, the orc defenders outside the city let out a deafening howl. The sound even reached the sky. , covering up all the noise.

They were shouting one word at the same time, and their voices were pious and believing, as if they were humble believers shouting for the omnipotent god! ! ! ! !

Ge, Long, De…….

Grond…….

Grond! ! !

When Modo's army, led by the Witch-King of Angmar, the leader of the Ringwraiths, was sweeping across the Middle-earth continent, the biggest enemy they faced was the terrifying gate defense of the kingdom's capital.

For this reason, under the personal intervention of Sauron, a huge and astonishing city-breaking hammer was built using black iron mixed with fine gold. Its length is as high as a century-old sacred tree. Shake.

The blacksmiths of Mordor have worked hard for at least one hundred and seventy years to forge this terrifying weapon. Its tip is shaped into the shape of a roaring wolf's head. It is ferocious, dark, and ferocious. The gaps between the teeth of the wolf's head are always on fire. The terrifying flames came from the high temperature of the lava of the Doomsday Volcano.

Sauron personally engraved dark secret patterns on it, permanently instilling the four powerful destructive spells of "catastrophe", "breaking barrier", "area force field deflection" and "wave of exhaustion". In order to commemorate the ancient Hellhammer, they named this city-breaking hammer Grond. Four giant unicorns slowly crawled out of the mire in the south, dragging it, surrounded by many orcs. The elite trolls from the mountains were responsible for the use of the entire device.

At this moment of dusk, when darkness was approaching but had not yet arrived, Grond's city hammer was crushing heavily on the fertile land of Paliano Plains, and appeared in front of everyone as the King of Destruction dominating the world. .

The length of this giant hammer is even more than forty meters, and the height will never be less than ten meters. On the dark and green torso, there is a light like water shining on the mountain. At least thousands of strong orcs surround it. The one dragging it along was the dark unicorn, breathing heavily and letting out an angry and low roar.

A total of seventeen names are engraved on the torso of Grond's city hammer. These seventeen names, without exception, are all the last kings of the royal capital that were smashed by Grond's city hammer. When darkness comes, the ghosts of the imprisoned kings will appear around these names, wailing miserably. And their pain and fear will add huge power to Grond's battering ram!

Obviously, the attacking party also chose a very good time and opportunity. Relying on the speed of Grond's battering ram, when entering the range of the catapult on the wall of Minas Tirith, the sky just happened to be completely dark. Darkness has a great impact on the defenders who are good at using long-range weapons.

The Orc arsonists relied on the cover of darkness to reach the battlefield first. Wherever they went, there were flames and thick smoke everywhere, which made the defenders' shooting even more disturbed. The darkness and thick smoke, as well as the flickering light, at least reduced the accuracy of all enemy attacks by 10. For the Minas Tirith defenders who completely rely on long-range attacks to output damage, this is already a very remarkable weakening.

At this time, from the main formation of Sauron's army, the nine Ringwraith Knights took off again on the terrifying ceratosaurus. Both the Ringwraith Knights and the ceratosaurus are extremely perverted dark creatures. Since they are dark creatures, they will naturally not be affected by darkness!

However, the giant eagle that can restrain them during the day has no way to maintain a high level of combat at night!

Because vision depends on the visual cells on the retina, and the visual system of humans and birds is different. Humans have two types of visual cells, cones and rods. Cones are divided into three types in humans, red, green, and blue. The main function of cones is to sense strong light and color, in other words, to have vision and color perception during the day.

Rods mainly sense weak light, that is, to have light perception at night. However, most birds have only four types of cones and no rods, so they can't see at night. Obviously, the giant eagle is neither human nor has any blood relationship with bats and owls, so this is a natural defect of biological species, just like humans are born unable to breathe underwater like fish.

At this time, it can be seen that it is definitely not unreasonable for the Blue Light Team to be selected by the space to lead this battle.

The status and strength of the contractor are closely related. Because Reef and Aziz have shown their incomparable strength, their status has also risen, and it is also convenient to inquire about things.

Fang Senyan learned from the reef that the Blue Light team specially formed a staff group, and the offensive launched today was instigated by them, which was called a four-way attack. It can be seen that the appearance of Grond's siege hammer is one way. The Ringwraiths' strength remains unchanged at night, but the strength of the giant eagles from the Misty Mountains plummets, so they can also be the main force of the attack.

"Then the third way of attack...?" Fang Senyan pondered: "I should have inferred it!"

At this time, the excited shouts of the strong orcs suddenly came from afar. It turned out that it was not only the alliance that had powerful mages. Zeus was in the limelight at this time. His specialty was gravity control. After this guy joined the team against Grond's siege hammer, he directly reduced the gravity near the extremely heavy siege hammer to the lightest!

It is well known that the defenders will definitely fight to the death to disrupt the gathering on the section where the siege hammer is close to the city wall. After reaching the bottom of the city wall, the attack will not be so strong due to the shooting angle. Therefore, the section from the siege hammer into the enemy's range and then to the bottom of the city can be said to be the most tragic road to death. The longer the delay, the more people will die.

At this time, Zeus suddenly halved the gravity in the area near Grond's siege hammer, which not only doubled the movement speed of this giant? More importantly, all kinds of ogres, soldiers, etc. nearby became as light as a swallow, and could dodge better!

While most of Minas Tirith's attention was focused on the advancement of Grond's siege hammer, in the darkness, it seemed that something huge was squirming, and it was not until it calmed down that a little flame was ignited.

That was the brazier for igniting the oil bombs! And there were countless orcs busy beside it.

Beside the brazier, twenty-five giant catapults appeared in the shadows! !
