The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-earth

Chapter 563 Lulong City is destroyed

Pulled by two giant mountain rhinoceros, the Hammer of Grond was slowly pushed forward by the giant troll. This thirty-meter-long heavy siege hammer can be said to be the first can opener in Middle-earth. It has a black The magical wolf-headed battering ram stole the show during the War of the Ring. On the battlefield, Grond struck the gates of Minas Tirith a total of four times. The first impact did not work, so the Witch King of Angmar recited a spell while impacting the next three times. The gate of White King City was eventually blown into pieces due to the dual effects of the battering ram and the spell...

It is conceivable that the gates of the powerful Gondor capital were smashed into pieces, and the situation of Lulong Fortress is probably not much better than that of White King City.

The heavily armored mountain rhinoceros gasped and pulled the Hammer of Grond, and the clanging arrows hit their bodies without even being able to hurt a single hair.

"Shoot those two giant rhinos! Don't let them get closer!" Renault frowned. If the Meteor Dragon Tower can't shoot the hammer of Grond, it can't shoot the monster that pulls the hammer?

"Bang! Bang!" Without any hindrance, the heads of the two giant rhinoceros exploded, and huge magic crystals rolled down from their heads. The protective fighting spirit of their high-level monsters was useless in front of the Falling Dragon Tower. The magic crystals shot by the Falling Dragon Crossbow The armor-piercing arrows shot through their war energy shields with almost no obstruction. With the death of the two giant war beasts, the Hammer of Grond slowly stopped.

"Well done! That's it, don't let that thing get close to us! We can still hold on to the outer city for a long time!" Lafitte Anthony waved his fist excitedly.

"Gan! I guess our wish will come true!" Luke Leopold shrugged helplessly.

Everyone took a closer look, okay, the war beast is dead, but the giant troll is not dead! A group of giant trolls hid under and behind the Hammer of Grond and pushed it forward. Although the speed was not fast, it did move.

"Tsk! Let everyone prepare to retreat to the central city!" Renault waved his hands dejectedly. The people who were unable to stop Grond from approaching could not protect the gate of the outer city fortress.

…

After about half a day, the Hammer of Grond finally arrived at the Lulong Fortress. As the giant troll tried hard to pull the siege hammer, everyone's hearts twitched.

"Boom!" The flame-burning Gerunde Wolf's head suddenly hit the south gate of Lulong Fortress, and layers of magical runes densely emerged from the gate.

"Buzz!" Like water waves, circles of magic ripples bloomed on the guardian magic on the city gate.

As if an eternity had passed, Geronde was finally lifted up again and hit the city gate for the second time.

"Bang!" A few fine cracks appeared on the shield, and the rest of the magic runes flickered quickly.

"Boom!" The third impact came, and along with the sound of the magic shield shattering, several layers of magic shields protecting the outside of the door had been penetrated.

If Roland could definitely scold him here, the Ringwraiths were smarter this time, and actually activated the magic spell of the Hammer of Grond as soon as they came up, and it was a critical hit...

"Boom!" Grond's wolf head hit the stainless steel gate of Lulong Fortress for the fourth time. The terrifying impact and the power of black magic directly made the thick city gate tremble!

"Cang!" A long metallic impact sounded. While the shield was still trying to recover, the fifth impact directly tore the thin shield and hit the city gate! The entire city gate suddenly sunk in...

"I can't hold on anymore!" Lafitte Anthony's eyes were in a trance.

"Order the rapid infantry and shooters to retreat first! All melee professionals will protect them from retreating! We are preparing to retreat to the central city." Renault's pupils shrank for a while.

"Damn it! Retreat!" Luke Leopold grabbed the rushing infantryman who had poked his red eyes and threw him behind.

"Retreat! Stop attacking!" Merck Leopold informed every soldier he saw.

Everyone silently put away their weapons and threw all the things that could not be taken away at the top of the city to block the orcs' offensive. Pots of boiling water mixed with wood and rolling stones were thrown down by the soldiers, and half of the people below were still struggling to climb. The orcs began to wail instantly. The half-orcs' offensive was caught off guard by the human outbreak, and was actually contained for a while.

"Boom!" By the sixth blow, the entire door had begun to twist and deform, the magic runes on it had begun to flicker, and the thin-to-transparent shield had begun to flicker.

"Boom~" The seventh blow! After holding on for seven times, the city gate exploded. The two fine steel gates fell weakly, and then hit the ground with a bang...

"The city is broken..." Renault gritted his teeth, took one last look, then turned decisively and stepped onto the suspension bridge.

"Close the passage! Seal the central city!" Renault gritted his teeth as he watched the orcs below pour into the city along the damaged city gate.

"Fortunately, we have blocked other passages!" Brothers Merck Leopold and Luke Leopold said with lingering fear as they looked at each other.

"The problem is that our front line has also been stretched! Now we have to defend the four walls!" Lafitte Anthony looked a little ugly. The orcs poured into the outer city, which directly caused the entire second-level fortress area to be under the control of the orcs. Within the attack range, overall, the area of ​​the defense zone has increased instead of decreasing...

"Then fight them to the end! The Hammer of Grond can't get into the fortress! They can't break down the gate of the central city!" There was finally a smile on Renault's face.

Because of the small area of ​​the fortress's internal passages, the direct ground passages between the middle city and the outer city do not allow Grong to hit his face, so the orcs lose the opportunity to smash the door. Moreover, due to the shrinkage of the defense line, the consumption of magic shields With the power reduced again, they can hold on longer!

"Count the casualties!" Renault said loudly as he looked at the bustling crowd.

The result made everyone very satisfied. Except for a few unlucky ones who were injured by arrows, most of the soldiers were intact. Even the injured were those quick-moving infantrymen who were red-eyed. (I was too excited and reached out of the shield's defensive range, and was shot in the arm by a stray arrow...)

"Okay, take the time to rest! It will take some time for the orcs to familiarize themselves with the situation! Hurry up and eat something to replenish your health!" Reno ordered everyone.

It's not that Renault looks down on those orcs, even if the fortress plan is shown in front of them, they have to carefully find their way for a while, not to mention the automatic defense system and other trap facilities in the fortress they just invaded are enough for them to have fun for a while. This period of time is just enough for the exhausted defenders to take time to rest and replenish their status and combat readiness.

Finally caught up, Chapter 2!
