If Gondor is a fortress protecting Middle-earth, then Osgiliath is the last barrier between Gondor and Mordor.

However, at this moment, in Osgiliath, including the more than two hundred cavalry brought by Faramir, there were only more than two thousand Gondor warriors in full force.

It is simply unrealistic to rely on more than two thousand people to stop Mordor's orc army.

Looking at the dilapidated city walls and the depressed expressions on the faces of the soldiers, Faramir's mood also sank to the bottom.

Having been here for several days, after various inspections, Faramir learned that the situation here was worse than he imagined.

The walls here are vulnerable and the Gondor warriors here have no fighting spirit.

On this day, a team of adventurers entered Osgilias.

"What do you want, wealth, reputation or land?" Faramir said to the fourth-level adventurer in front of him: "As long as you can help me defend this place, I can agree to everything you propose."

Over the years, adventurers have become very famous in Gondor. As the second son of Regent Denethor, Faramir has also come into contact with some adventurers.

Faramir also knew very well the code of conduct for adventurers, which was nothing more than wealth.

In Faramir's opinion, as long as adventurers are given enough commission, they are willing to do anything.

Looking at the calm team of three in front of him, Faramir placed his hope of guarding Osgiliath on them.

Over the years, the adventurer team has a very keen sense of smell. It can be said that wherever there is war, there they will be.

Faramir knew that the three people in front of him were just representatives of the adventurer team, and there must be many adventurers outside Osgilias.

"I think you misunderstood, Lord Faramir." The fourth-level adventurer paused slightly and said: "My people have detected that Mordor has sent troops to Gondor. The number of people in the first wave exceeded one hundred thousand, and there will be more

The second wave, the third wave...

I’m here to remind you to leave here quickly. You can’t hold Osgiliath.”

Hearing that Mordor had sent one hundred thousand troops, Faramir's eyes showed a look of shock, but he quickly covered it up.

"I will not leave here. I will live and die with Osgiliath, even if I die here..." Faramir's eyes dimmed as he thought about the death order his father gave him before he came.

If Osgiliath is really lost, Faramir can imagine that he will be greeted with doubts, abuse and beatings when he returns to Gondor...

It is also very likely that he will be sent to the execution ground by his father, the regent of Gondor himself.

There is no doubt that as the unfavored second son of Denethor, the regent would do anything to appease the anger of the people of Gondor.

Thinking of all the possibilities in the future, Faramir would rather die in Osgiliath.

As a general, it may be a blessing to die on the battlefield.

"Unfortunately, your choice is not correct." The fourth-level adventurer shook his head and continued: "But I received a notice from above, asking me to try my best to save your life. So when the orc army comes, the adventurers will give

You and Osgiliath offer some help.

Of course, we will also choose to leave when it is strictly forbidden. Please understand~"

"Really? If that time really comes, you can leave at will." Faramir's face softened a little and asked: "However, I would like to know how much commission my father gave you?"

Hearing someone say hello to the adventurer, Faramir, who had never enjoyed a father's love, obviously misunderstood.

He thought it was his father Denese who hired these adventurers to help him.

It was the first time that he received his father's care, and Faramir was inevitably a little excited.

"We have not contacted the regent. You know, he has never welcomed our adventurer team." The fourth-level adventurer said: "But don't worry, even if Denese did not pay us a commission, we will help Oss this time."

We will not discount Gillias' actions."

"If it wasn't my father, who could it be..." Faramir recalled, who else in Gondor could have such boldness to hire adventurers.

Because of Denethor's dislike of adventurers, Gondor ministers rarely interact with adventurers.

In Faramir's subconscious mind, his eldest brother Boromir had died on the Anduin River. So he never thought that it was because his eldest brother had gained Abel's favor.

So, now he can get a little help from the adventurer team.

After thinking for a long time, Faramir could not figure out what was wrong. So he gave up thinking about the problem, changed the subject, and asked: "How many people are here this time?

Next, we can discuss in detail how to resist the orc army in Mordor."

"There are five thousand people, including three thousand archers, one thousand shield soldiers and one thousand sword soldiers each. The remaining more than one thousand people are free soldiers, including those who are good at assassination and those who are good at escaping. There are all kinds of talents."

The fourth-level adventurer didn't care about Faramir's changeable expression. He truthfully reported the adventurer's troop deployment here.

"You actually have so many troops~" Faramir said with a hint of joy on his face.

You must know that Osgiliath is located on the border of Gondor. It is a very small town and the conditions are difficult.

Adventurers can easily pull out a team of 5,000 people in a place like this. This makes Faramir feel lucky, but he also understands why his father is so afraid of adventurers in Gondor.

After calming down for a while, Faramir said: "Please bring all the adventurers to the castle. I will select some easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack places for you. I only hope that you will try your best to protect them if conditions permit.

The orc army stands outside the city of Osgiliath."

Rather than leaving important levels to Gondor soldiers who have no fighting spirit, it would be better to hand them over to adventurers.

Faramir also has some understanding of the combat effectiveness of the adventurer team.

With the joining of five thousand adventurers, Faramir gained a little more confidence in defending Osgiliath.

"Don't worry, the original intention of forming the adventurers is to maintain peace in Middle-earth. We will try our best to help you without touching the bottom line." The fourth-level adventurer looked at Faramir's eagerness to try and shook his head slightly.

Finally, he reminded: "If you have any thoughts of leaving Osgiliath, please tell us as soon as possible. We will escort you to a safe area."

Perhaps Faramir, who has lived in Gondor all year round, has no specific knowledge of the 100,000 orc army. But adventurers who have always been against the orcs know that the orcs are not that easy to deal with.

After the discussion, more than 5,000 level 3 adventurers, led by a dozen level 4 adventurers, entered Osgilias.

After entering the castle, the adventurers quickly became familiar with the terrain and divided a large number of people to repair the city walls and important levels.

Under the leadership of the adventurer, the Gondor warriors who stayed in Osgiliath also gained some energy.
