Chapter 46 Siege and Bloodshed
Minas Tirith!
The densely packed orc army stretched as far as the eye could see, and all the guards on the city wall turned ashen-faced at the sight.
The million-strong army spread out almost to the heavens and the earth!
Looking around, almost all that could be seen was that black tide of steel.
Gandalf had arrived in Minas Tirith by then. He stood on the city wall, looking at the scene before him with a very solemn expression.
This time, the power of darkness has been amplified like never before!
As far as the eye can see, there is an army of nearly a million!
Even if Polomir had gathered all the troops in the country in advance to defend the city, there would only have been a mere 10 men.
The nine Ringwraiths hovered freely in the sky!
As the leading Angmar Witch-King roared, raising the Demon Cave Longsword, the orc army below, which had been lined up and waiting, charged forward like a tidal wave.
The catapults behind them began to unleash their power, hurling massive stones at the city walls.
The enormous ogres pushed cloud carts toward the city wall.
Meanwhile, dozens of trolls and giant unicorns pushed and pulled massive wolf-headed battering rams toward the gate.
The opponent launched a fierce attack right from the start, without needing to probe at all.
A million-strong army could be piled up and wiped clean!
The Ringwraiths hovered in the sky, trying to destroy the catapults on the city walls.
However, they were all shot down by the heavy crossbows that had been deployed beforehand, preventing them from lowering their flight altitude.
Boromir had anticipated this, and even went so far as to spend a great deal of money to take some magical materials from the national treasury to install arrows on these heavy crossbows, specifically to deal with the Ringwraiths in the air.
Boromir brandished his longsword and shouted, "Quickly switch to ordinary heavy arrows and aim at those towers!"
The order was executed swiftly, and the heavy crossbows were quickly installed and aimed at the towers.
whoosh-
With a whistling sound, the arrow flew out and pierced directly through the iron armor on the front of the towers.
The arrows pierced the orcs inside, turning them into rows of candied hawthorns.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Ringwraiths circling in the sky suddenly swooped down, letting out a piercing scream.
In an instant, most of the defenders on the city wall covered their ears and knelt down in agony.
The catapults and heavy crossbows also lost their control.
Boom—
The Ringwraiths swooped down and instantly destroyed a large number of catapults and heavy crossbows.
The orcs attacking on the plain quickened their pace. Seeing this, Boromir became anxious and personally went to a heavy crossbow.
After ordering the guards around him to nock arrows, he aimed at one of the Ringwraiths and pulled the trigger.
But the arrow grazed his head!
This greatly angered the Ringwraith, who immediately turned around to look, and after confirming that it was Boromir,
It swooped down at an extremely high speed!
Seeing this, Polomir wanted to continue winding the bow.
But the Ringwraiths were already upon him, and Boromir could only awkwardly dodge to the side.
The towers were already close to the city walls. As the iron gates were lowered, a dense army of orcs surged onto the walls and began to fight.
A massive orc army surged onto the city walls and began to fight.
However, the well-rested defenders, already inside various fortifications, thrust out from every corner with their long spears, blocking most of the gaps in place.
Within minutes of the outbreak of the war, it instantly escalated to a fever pitch!
Boromir even sent men to light the beacon fires, despite his father, the regent, opposing it...
He and his brother immediately placed him under house arrest!
Meanwhile, Frodo, who was on his way to Mount Doom, was filled with extreme regret!
Gollum deceived him, causing him to drive away his good brother.
Now he's even going to Mount Doom all by himself!
All his supplies and weapons, even the Light of Elandil, had been lost during the pursuit by the Spider Corpse.
All that remained of her body was the ring on her chest and the elven cloak she wore.
"I'm sorry, Sam!"
After feeling remorse and self-reproach, Frodo turned around and prepared to climb the steps.
But a dark shadow flashed by, and in a flash, his consciousness was plunged into darkness.
The giant spider Shiro easily fell from the stone wall above, quickly wrapping the fallen Frodo into a mummy.
Just as they were about to lead it back to its nest, they discovered that someone was blocking their way.
Sam held the Light of Elandil in one hand and a laser gun in the other.
They were all aimed at the spider corpse.
Frodo had mentioned the laser gun to him along the way.
Although I've never used it before, at least I have it in my hand and know how to operate it.
Shiro looked at the dwarf who had just been wrapped up like a mummy, and then began to wander around with disdain.
So what if they have these weapons? Didn't they just take down that little dwarf?
The next second, it suddenly sprinted forward!
But Sam wasn't going to let that slide. He backed away and started pulling the trigger on his laser gun with all his might.
Five consecutive pulls of the trigger sent five crimson beams of light striking Shiro's face.
The attack came so suddenly that Shiro, who had let his guard down, had no time to react.
It punched five charred holes in his head.
The immense pain caused him to howl in agony, which only fueled his frenzied charge.
He's going to kill this little dwarf!
Sam pulled the trigger a few more times, and when he found no attack, he immediately threw away the laser gun and pulled out the spiked gun!
Shiro, enduring the light of Elandil shining on his wound, charged forward in agony, but Sam nimbly dodged, incidentally stabbing Shiro in the wound he had just inflicted.
This further enraged Shiro, who tried several times to knock him down with his poisoned needles.
However, Sam dodged all of them and even took the opportunity to inflict a serious injury to Sam's abdomen with a sword.
Seeing the spider unwilling to retreat into the darkness, Sam hurriedly ran towards Frodo, who was lying on the ground.
The gates of Gondor have been breached, and countless orcs have stormed into the city.
Gandalf himself rode on his white horse to command the front lines, along with Boromir and Amir, leading the defenders in battle against the orcs.
He even personally chased away a Ringwraith who wanted to come down and capture Boromir!
This scene further solidified his prestige among all the soldiers!
The nearly 10 troops in the city, along with the militia, auxiliary personnel, and able-bodied men, all took up arms.
The number is approaching 12!
For the sake of their homes and loved ones, the soldiers launched a desperate charge against the orcs.
The narrow and rugged layout between the cities meant that even with a massive orc army outside, they were unable to launch a devastating offensive.
But the orcs, with their numerical advantage and reckless human wave tactics, are about to push the battle line to the last city wall.
Beyond that, there's the palace!
woo-
Just then, a bugle call sounded in the distance!
Some people standing on high ground, facing the sunrise, looked towards the direction from which the bugle call sounded in the distance.
Under the golden light, countless cavalrymen appeared on the hilltop.
Gandalf's face immediately lit up with a smile: "Our reinforcements have arrived!"
Upon hearing this, Boromir raised his longsword and shouted in high spirits, "Reinforcements have arrived!"
