The night is getting deeper.
Helm's Deep.
The biting cold wind howled wildly along with the wind and snow.
On the fierce battlefield at Hornburg.
Move the time forward a few minutes.
Just when dozens of steel ladders were put up on the tall and solid outer city wall, a large number of strong orc warriors surged onto the city wall but were continuously killed back, unable to achieve more results to change the situation of the battle.
The orcs were densely packed in the rear military formation.
Several strong orc leaders were gathering.
"Have you found the drainage outlet of the Horn Fort that the master mentioned?"
"I don't know, I've already given the order..."
"Then why don't you go find it quickly, you idiot?"
"All the ladders have been used, but the city wall still cannot be breached. What should I do?"
"Attack the gate, attack the gate of Hornburg..."
"The gate is more difficult to attack. It's heavily guarded by humans. It's difficult to even get close..."
"Idiot, then use your life to fill it up and let those dwarfs from Modo come..."
"Why do we need to attack the gate? Why don't you go?"
"I'm not going!"
"Because I've been unhappy with you dwarfs for a long time!"
"Because I have the final say here!"
"Die, you little bastard!"
A low and arrogant roar suddenly arose, and a tall, ugly orc swung his thorn mace and slammed it on the head of the relatively short orc facing him.
For a moment, the orc's brains burst open, and brains of various colors, black, red, yellow, and white, flew everywhere, splashing all over the faces of several strong orcs around him.
The orc who took action stretched out his tongue and licked the thick liquid on his face to taste it, then immediately spat it out with a sigh, and said in annoyance: "I knew this idiot's brain was unpalatable."
at this time.
A strong orc squeezed in quickly and said loudly: "Chief, we have found the drainage outlet, which is at the corner of the city wall."
"Then what are you waiting for? Why don't you quickly put in the things Saruman gave you?"
"I found it, but..."
"but what?"
"But it has been filled in with rocks and sand..."
"Idiot, this is not easy!"
The leader of the strong orcs looked furious and interrupted: "Then dig up the sand quickly and move the stones out!"
"yes..."
...
"Whoosh..."
The black spear shot out like a javelin, suddenly piercing the orc holding a burning grease torch under the city wall and pinning it to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Morgan felt slightly relieved, and felt a sneak attack from the orcs from behind.
"call..."
The long black sharp weapon with a hook suddenly struck Morgan's head.
Morgan immediately turned sideways to avoid the blow. The incoming Orc struggled to miss the blow and staggered. Morgan raised his hand and struck an elbow, which immediately hit the steel helmet on the back of the incoming Orc's head.
"boom!"
There was a sudden violent crash.
The steel helmet was severely smashed inward, and the incoming orc was also smashed to the ground, motionless.
Kill the sneak attack orcs casually.
Morgan looked under the city wall in front again and saw that another new orc took the torch from the orc who was tied with a spear and rushed towards the drainage outlet under the city wall.
Fortunately, Legolas, who had just been positioned further forward, obviously took Morgan's words seriously.
The arrows in his hands continued to shoot downwards, and one after another the orcs who tried to snatch the grease-covered and burning torches were shot to death, but more orcs continued to repeat the previous actions without fear of death.
Look at the scene where the strong beastman has no intention of giving up.
Morgan knew in his heart that this must be the weakness of Saruman's Horn Keep told by Grima, who was banished by Théoden from Rohan.
This also made those strong orcs desperately rush towards the drainage outlet of the city wall.
Speaking of which, regardless of Grima's notification or not, it is actually inappropriate to have a drainage outlet nearly two meters high on such an important wall of the Horn Castle.
Even though Morgan had forewarned it in advance and had obtained the command authority, he had already solemnly given the order. The drainage outlets had been blocked tightly, both inside and outside the city wall.
However, it is not too difficult for the orcs who want to break through the Horn Castle to find the drainage outlet.
After all, no matter how good the concealment is, as long as it exists, there will definitely be traces.
It is not difficult for the orcs who have obtained the information in advance to find this.
One is because there are enough of them.
The second reason is that the IQs of the strong orcs are not bad.
Perhaps a large number of low-level orcs may not be that smart, but the orcs who can take the leadership position will definitely not be stupid, and at least their IQ will not be worse than humans.
In this case, would Morgan's action of covering up the drainage outlet definitely be hidden from the powerful orcs?
Morgan wasn't sure before.
But now, he had to believe it or not. The Orcs had found the location of the drainage outlet of the Horn Castle.
And it is very likely that the gunpowder developed by the industrial giant Saruman has been used. This is the reason why the strong orcs desperately rush to the drainage outlet in the corner of the Horn Castle with torches in hand.
"Whoosh..."
Under the city wall, another orc holding a torch was shot to death by Legolas with an arrow.
Morgan turned around and cut off the head of another sneak-attacking orc with his sword. Looking at the two orcs who had just jumped down from the steel ladder in front of him, his footsteps immediately accelerated forward. For a moment, his body turned and moved, and the sword in his hand quickly slashed horizontally.
"Bang bang..."
Two bloody and ferocious heads immediately flew up and rolled to the ground.
Morgan walked forward quickly and looked down at the city wall again.
At this look, his expression changed drastically, as if he was constantly being blocked. Four orcs holding grease torches appeared in the crowded orc army formation, and they were quickly approaching the drainage outlet in the corner of the city wall.
Standing on the edge of the city wall, Legolas shot arrow after arrow.
But perhaps because of the long period of high-intensity continuous bow shooting, his accuracy was obviously much worse than at the beginning.
Two orcs holding torches were shot to death one after another, but more orcs took the torches without fear and continued to rush forward.
It seemed that the more obstruction on the city wall, the more energetic the orcs below became.
Seeing the rapidly changing scene, Morgan reached out and touched the longbow on his back.
But the moment he touched the long bow, he immediately thought that with the posture of the strong orcs below, they would never give up on attacking the drainage outlet.
In order to cut off the drainage outlet that is the biggest weakness of the strong orc attack on the Horn Castle.
The only way now is to go directly under the city wall, go to the strong orc army formation and destroy the things in the drainage outlet. This is the most effective way to stop it.
Otherwise, he and Legolas would take turns blocking and killing the orcs, and no matter how many orcs they killed, there would still be a steady stream of orcs rushing towards them.
As long as there is one caught fish, the entire wall of the drainage outlet section will be blown to pieces.
As long as one city wall is blown open, the entire Horn Castle defense line will be quickly torn apart by the dense orc army below, which is as dense as a mountain and a sea.
Once this strongest line of defense is breached,
The orc army far exceeds the number of human warriors.
The fall of the Horn Castle is only a matter of time.
Although Morgan was powerful at this time, it was far from enough to stop such a war involving thousands of troops.
He was able to achieve the feat of single-handedly killing the opponent's leader in a large army, but he was unable to withstand the pace of the orc army.
He knew this very well.
Now if he wanted to prevent the drainage outlet from being blown up, he had to go down and destroy it himself.
And the dense orc military formation below was a complete escape from death.
But that's for other people.
For Morgan, although it is also very dangerous, it is by no means a death situation.
And based on his understanding of the urinary properties of his body's system over the years, his involvement in major plots in this world seriously affects the world exploration progress on his data panel.
Therefore, this risk was completely worth the risk for him.
Thinking of this quickly, Morgan once again dodged the orcs attacking from the front. He chopped off the opponent's head with a sword and shouted at the tall human figure who was fighting hard not far away: "Aragorn!"
Aragorn immediately turned his head when he heard the sound.
Morgan then shouted: "The command is left to you!"
Aragorn's expression changed drastically as he immediately understood the meaning of Morgan's words, and he immediately looked carefully at Morgan's whole body.
However, Morgan didn't have time to say anything to Aragorn at this time. After explaining, he immediately strode forward, held the sword in both hands and slashed the orcs blocking the way in front of him with great ferocity, and quickly rushed towards the end of the corner of the city wall.
Legolas once again shot the orc holding a torch to death with an arrow in front of the corner of the city wall in time.
The torch in the hands of the orcs who were shot immediately fell into the dug waterway below and was extinguished, leaving the surrounding orcs who were about to help out.
Such a scene made Morgan, who had just stood on the city wall, feel lucky in his heart.
At such a close range, if another strong orc takes over, not only will the drainage outlet be blown away, but Morgan standing above the drainage outlet will also be blown into the sky.
Without any time to think, Morgan rushed to the corner wall and jumped straight towards the orc army below.
This scene made Legolas look horrified and shouted hurriedly: "Morgan!"
At this time, the black and dense orc army outside the outer wall of Horn Castle was like a mountain and a sea.
Dozens of steel ladders were set up on the outer wall, and a large number of strong orcs continued to climb up the city wall and were killed again.
The battle is raging on this side of the outer wall.
The battle in front of the Horn Rock Fortress where the gate of Horn Castle is located was equally fierce.
Several steel ladders filled with strong orcs, longer and larger than the outer landing wall, were constantly climbing up to the higher wall above the fortress.
The orcs who were unable to climb the wall took heavier and more powerful crossbow arrows and fired at the fortress.
Group after group of strong orcs with shields on their heads were approaching the gate carrying huge heavy equipment for attacking the gate.
So before the battlefield.
Morgan's behavior of jumping from the six to seven meter high outer city wall to the Orc army formation below was tantamount to seeking death in the eyes of others.
A group of orcs below holding sharp spears screamed in excitement when they saw Morgan jumping down, and immediately raised their spears and stabbed Morgan.
Flying in the air, he looked at the ugly and excited strong orc below, and at the sharp spear full of blades.
Morgan didn't panic and immediately launched his special skills.
"Body of rock!"
At this moment, Morgan clearly felt the rapid changes in the skin on his body.
Immediately afterwards, Morgan fell into the forest of black spears.
"boom..."
"boom..."
"boom..."
Stabbing the crimson dragon scale armor on Morgan's body made a muffled sound like stabbing thick gold and iron.
The stabbing sound on Morgan's exposed face, hands and other skin was like a crisp sound like being stabbed on an extremely hard stone.
Continuous crashes sounded.
At this moment, Morgan didn't realize that he had been stabbed by multiple bullets.
"Morgan..."
Legolas, who was watching this scene from the top of the city wall, shouted anxiously.
Although he was surprised why Morgan would do this suddenly, but ever since Morgan asked him to shoot the Uruk holding the torch, he had sensed that Morgan seemed to have an ulterior motive.
At this time, Aragorn and Gimli, who heard Legolas's exclamation, immediately followed.
Aragorn could see the condition of Morgan on the city wall below at a glance, but Gimli couldn't see anything because of his height and could only worry.
"What's wrong?"
"What happened to Morgan?"
An ax hit the chest of the attacking orc, knocking him over. Gimli turned around and asked the two of them quickly.
Legolas had already seen the situation below. Looking at the intact Morgan, he immediately shook his head and said, "It's okay, he's okay."
Below the city wall.
Morgan is indeed fine.
After being greeted by the spear forest, Morgan covered his eyes and quickly hit a strong orc below, knocking the opponent to the ground.
With a backhand sword, he smashed the half-dead orcs, and the orcs around him immediately rushed up with strange screams.
Morgan, who had already planned to be besieged, quickly grabbed the broad shield from the hands of a strong orc he killed.
Then with a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, he immediately rushed towards the drainage outlet in the further corner.
At this time, the drainage outlet had been cleaned by the orcs until it was almost as it was before it was blocked.
All the stones and stones that were blocked inside were removed, and even the original water channel was dug out again.
The surroundings were even more densely crowded with a large number of Orcs, and now the Orcs were swarming towards the trapped Morgan.
Morgan held a shield and sword and opened fire with all his firepower. The heads of the surrounding orcs immediately flew around.
But there were too many strong beasts coming up.
Morgan had no choice but to use his shield to clear the way, supplemented by his long sword.
He was extremely powerful at this time, and he rushed forward with his shield in hand. He quickly overturned a large area and opened a path.
He quickly rushed out of the drain.
At this time, two orcs holding grease torches were seen rushing toward the drainage outlet one after another.
Morgan immediately stepped forward, swung his sword in his hand, and the first strong orc was immediately beheaded by the torch in his hand.
Just as he was about to rush towards the second one.
"Whoosh..."
Another arrow shot down from the city wall, hitting another strong orc torch bearer.
Morgan knew that this was Legolas on the city wall. He had no time to raise his head and take a second look, because the orcs surrounded him again.
"Bang bang bang bang..."
The sound of long swords clashing continued, and sparks exploded continuously.
Morgan killed several orcs in a row, and waved the shield in his hand to knock the orc beside him to the ground. He immediately turned around and rushed into the drainage outlet.
Then, he saw two huge round iron balls about half a meter in diameter placed together, with a long lead hanging from the small opening above the two iron balls.
Sure enough, Saruman is indeed the industrial pioneer of the entire Middle-earth world, and he even developed bombs.
Morgan complained in his mind, immediately put away his shield and sword, then turned around and walked out with two round iron ball bombs in each hand.
The defeated orcs once again surrounded Morgan.
But Morgan was very fast. He quickly walked out of the drainage outlet and threw the bombs in his hand towards the orc who was holding a torch not far away.
The first iron ball bomb knocked the unsuspecting orc to the ground.
The second iron ball bomb was not dead, and the orc who reacted took it and hugged it tightly in his arms.
At this time, the torch was beside me, and the long fuse of the iron ball bomb was naturally thrown onto the torch.
"Chichi..."
A familiar slight sound suddenly sounded.
Morgan, who had astonishing senses, immediately realized something, his eyes widened instantly, and he decisively launched his special skill:
"Any door!"
The next second.
A white light curtain door about two meters in diameter appeared in front of Morgan out of thin air.
He dove in without thinking.
The moment his body and the light curtain door disappeared together.
"boom..."
A shocking loud noise suddenly exploded in the crowded army of strong orcs.
