Bringing the MC system to Middle-earth

Chapter 12 Defending the City

"Did you hear that?"

"I heard it. There are wargs and noisy orcs."

The breeze carried the noise echoing across the wilderness.

However, there was silence within the city walls.

To be honest, even after making a lot of preparations, Levi was still a little uneasy.

Unlike the homeless people next to him, Levi had not seen many scenes. At this moment, he was still a little frightened when he thought that a team of Orc cavalry was rushing over.

One hundred orcs and dozens of cavalry may not sound like much, but forming a circle is enough to block a mere two people.

Looking at the five sets of iron blocks in his backpack, Levi regretted a little. He would have bought some pumpkins when he was in Bree, and he could have tried to summon iron golems.

"roar--!"

A beast roar sounded, causing Levi to raise his head in surprise.

"Here we come," Farodan said.

The two of them hid behind the city wall bunker and stared at the direction of the sound.

Crash.

"kill!"

The noise gradually approached, and a small shadow emerged from the trees, exposed to the moonlight. First, dozens of wargs rushed forward, lining up in a row, with orcs waving weapons above them, heading straight for the city wall, menacingly. , the speed is no slower than horses.

Seeing the enemy approaching a certain distance, Falodan picked up the bow he carried and drew an arrow.

brush--

An arrow accurately hit the warg at the front. The warg was killed on the spot. The orc riding on it fell down and ate a mouthful of mud.

Another arrow shot through the head of an orc, causing it to fall directly to the ground without any movement.

Under Falodan's precise shooting, by the time the cavalry team rushed to the city wall, three wargs had lost their riders, and two wargs died suddenly. However, the remaining cavalry were not afraid, but were aroused by the smell of blood. Their ferocious nature, coupled with the fact that there were only two people on the city wall, made them even more ferocious. Some of the orcs even laughed out loud.

Of course, even if there were only two people guarding the city, the smooth stone wall more than ten meters high would not be able to be climbed in one go. Soon the warg rider who rushed in front was defeated and failed to climb up after many attempts. They had to retreat and reorganize their formation.

"Damn it, the information is wrong, who the blind person said that wargs can just jump over!?"

"The last time I saw this wall, it was half as tall as it is now!"

The scout orc in the team quickly explained.

"You loser!"

Defeated in front of the city wall, this orc team immediately started a traditional art: internal strife.

Falodan tried to continue drawing the bow to output, but at this time the orcs were already wary and had already been on guard from above. Several archers aimed at Falodan's position and shot, forcing him to retreat for a while and turn to the wall. Inside, use the arrow holes prepared in advance to make a sneak attack.

However, after only a few more cavalry were defeated, these arrow holes were also discovered, and they soon became useless.

Levi quietly looked outside and saw that the team had all gathered under the city wall.

At this moment, the offense and defense were all at a stalemate. The offensive side couldn't attack, and the defensive side's output was not enough, so they couldn't attack at all.

The orcs outside the wall had no choice but to shout and curse, but these humiliations could not shake Li Wei at all. After hearing more, Li Wei even thought that these orcs were quite talented, and they were quite talented in cursing people. One sentence, all kinds of long and short sentences, rhetorical devices and metaphors are used.

However, compared with the coquettishness of the Internet buddies in Levi's memory, whose sentences were like poetry, their words were still too lacking.

"A bunch of scum!"

While cursing, a roar suddenly came from behind.

A strong orc, more than three meters tall and holding a large ax, led a large force to the city wall and easily pulled away the cavalry blocking the way. His strength was so great that he knocked the seated wolf and the rider to the ground.

"Aha, look what I found, a piece of trash that just hides behind the wall, little bug!"

However, the first thing the orc leader did after arriving was still to point at the city wall and curse.

"Coward, coward!"

"Coward, coward!" the orcs behind him shouted.

If it were a normal siege, if we did not organize a counterattack at this time, it would definitely damage the morale of the army.

But there are only two people on Li Wei's side. You have a hundred people to beat us two and say we are cowards...?

It’s kind of a one-on-one challenge!

Levi couldn't help but complain.

However, the Orc leader didn't care what they thought. After blocking a sneak attack arrow with his axe, he shouted directly to the back: "Bring it up!"

Boom!

In the midst of the commotion, several orcs struggled to lift a large mallet that was thicker than their bodies, but the strong orc leader, who was more than three meters tall, picked up the mallet with only one hand.

Then, he slammed towards the city gate.

Boom!

The wooden door cracked with the first blow.

Boom!

With the second blow, the wooden door deformed and was about to collapse.

The cheers outside the city wall had already begun in advance, and they were ready to rush in to kill, loot, and occupy the castle.

However, Levi was in a calm mood.

Boom!

With only the third hit, the small city gate composed of wooden fences and wooden doors was completely broken. However, just when the orcs were about to swarm in, they were dumbfounded.

Behind the wooden door, there was a stone wall three meters thick.

The orc leader's nostrils were filled with smoke as he glared at the two people hiding on the city wall.

"Want to come in? No way!" Li Wei popped up and shouted, and immediately seven or eight arrows came up to greet him, scaring him so much that he quickly retreated.

Seeing that the intelligence was wrong, the siege failed, and several wolf riders were killed, the leader cursed fiercely, and suddenly waved his hand and said: "Let's go!"

Then, he led hundreds of orcs back to the woods.

"Retreat now?" Levi was a little surprised. They gave up too quickly. They ran away when they found that they couldn't attack. He hadn't made a move yet.

"No... they didn't leave."

Faloddan came over at this time and pointed in a direction to signal Levi to look.

Boom!

There was a loud bang, and a tree fell to the ground and was slowly dragged away.

Not long after, there was another tremor, and several trees fell to the ground one after another.

Even though Levi was so slow, he realized at this moment that the group of orcs seemed to be... making something on the spot?

In the woods in the distance, there was a clanging sound.

"Ladder." Falodan said: "They are making siege ladders."

Levi seemed a little surprised.

On-site construction?

Farodan looked normal.

Levi knew that he lacked common sense in some aspects.

Obviously seeing Levi's doubts, Farodan explained: "Don't underestimate those orcs, Levi. Even though they are rude and evil, their armor and weapons are never inferior to humans. They can do what ordinary armies can do."

After all, the master behind them is the demon king, Sauron, who can make things like the Lord of the Rings and is proficient in forging.

"I see." Levi understood.

"No, I have to stop them."

"Are you going to leave the city?"

Levi nodded.

"I won't sit and watch those orcs make things."

"It's too dangerous. I don't agree."

Levi smiled.

Nomad, you know nothing about MC players.

"Don't worry."

Levi went down the wall, entered the castle, took out all the sulfur and saltpeter from the mineral box, and put them on the workbench with charcoal.

1 sulfur + 1 saltpeter + 1 charcoal = 3 gunpowder.
