In front of the gate of Hornburg.

The battle is raging.

rear.

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty..."

"Your Majesty, are you okay..."

In the crowded passage behind the gate of Horn Castle, several elite warriors covered in blood and in wretched shapes gathered around King Théoden, asking with extremely nervous expressions.

"call..."

"call..."

Théoden gasped and immediately raised his hand with difficulty: "It's okay!"

"I can't die yet..."

Théoden leaned against the stone wall behind him, covering the wound on his left arm with blood that was constantly gushing out from under his shoulder with one hand. He looked at the warrior leaders in front of him with a pale face and said immediately: "Go, send someone to put pressure on him."

"Morgan and the others are still fighting..."

"You must seize the time to strengthen the door, and you must guard the door at all costs!"

"We haven't lost yet..."

"Ahem..."

Théoden kept breathing heavily and speaking in a slightly heavier tone. Blood immediately poured out from the wound on his shoulder, making Théoden look even paler.

"His Majesty..."

"His Majesty!"

"Send His Majesty to the inner city for treatment quickly!"

"quick..."

The leader of the Guards immediately ordered.

At this time, a tall figure wearing exquisite armor and several soldiers quickly ran down from the fortress above the gate of Horn Fort.

"grown ups!"

"grown ups..."

As soon as Éomer, the third marshal of the Kingdom of Rohan, appeared, the leader of the Guards and the surrounding soldiers immediately shouted.

"His Majesty!"

Without enough time to pay attention to the salutes of the surrounding warriors, Éomer rushed over immediately after seeing King Théoden's weak appearance and spoke nervously.

"I'm fine..."

"Probably still alive."

"The war situation is urgent, Éomer, listen..."

"Yes, I'm listening..."

"The door must be guarded. When necessary, you must obey Morgan's command!"

Théoden gasped and said, scarlet blood gushing out from the shoulder wound again.

"Yes, I understand, Your Majesty."

"I must obey Morgan's command..."

"Quickly, send His Majesty back for treatment, quick!"

Éomer saw off the king and immediately turned to the soldiers beside him and asked: "Where is Morgan now?"

"Fighting in front of the gate!"

"Are the lumber for repairing the door ready?"

"It's being made urgently, it will be ready soon."

"Okay, I leave those to you, you must be fast!"

"Everyone else, follow me..."

"Quickly..."

After Éomer yelled, he quickly rushed towards the gate with the soldiers behind him.

In front of the gate of Hornburg.

The originally spacious passage was now covered with corpses.

Black and red blood flowed all over the floor, and blood would splatter if you stepped on it.

"boom..."

Morgan held the shield in one hand and raised his hand to block the incoming attack. The long sword in his hand kept stabbing at the crazy orc with red eyes on the side.

"Pfft..."

The elf sword penetrated the gap in the upper body armor of the strong orc in front of him with incomparable accuracy, directly penetrated deeply into the strong orc's body and subconsciously used force to stir it.

The orc's attack, which had been pierced but still looking frantic to attack Morgan, dropped sharply, but its tenacious fighting spirit drove the orc in front of him to kill the human in front of him no matter what.

Morgan moved too fast, and the still-dead Orc still waved his weapon and chopped down at Morgan who was close at hand.

But Morgan reacted faster. He was so experienced in fighting enemies. He immediately raised his foot and kicked the orc in front of him.

This kick made the strong orc unable to hold his nerve.

Originally only relying on the leader's order not long ago for support, he immediately felt that his body was rapidly weakening and powerless, and then his vision went dark and he fell to the ground completely.

Morgan did not look at the fallen orc for a second time, but quickly held up a steel shield in front of him to welcome the attack from the orc again.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

In an instant, several heavy attacks fell like raindrops, making the steel shield clang.

Feel the tremendous pressure coming from the shield.

Morgan did not stick out his head rashly, but stood firm on his lower body, took a sudden step forward, and suddenly pushed out the shield in his hand with force with his arm.

"Bang bang bang..."

Several strong orcs in front of him were immediately kicked up by Morgan with his shield and rolled backwards.

In an instant, two strong orcs accidentally rolled down the dozens of meters high mountain path under the stone arch bridge in front of the gate. They didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

Next to Morgan.

Aragorn waved his sword in his hand and was also fighting fiercely with the orcs who were charging madly.

The other side is slightly behind.

The dwarf Gimli panted heavily and swung the battle ax in his hand until he couldn't stop at all.

Legolas supported the three friends and acted as a firefighter, shooting arrows wherever there was danger.

The bow of the Galadhrim in his hand was being drawn continuously.

Every time an arrow was fired, a strong orc fell to the ground dead.

Although the four-person hero team was powerful, their tacit cooperation quickly stabilized the situation at the gate of the Horn Castle that had collapsed.

But the number of the strong orc army is basically endless, and they can't be killed.

No matter how powerful Morgan's four-man team is, they will never be able to withstand the endless attacks of the orc army.

Fortunately, the passage at the gate is narrow compared to the endless army in front and cannot accommodate too many soldiers.

The tacit understanding between the four Morgans can keep the Orcs out of the gate.

Otherwise, if they were dragged to the battlefield under the outer city wall, their team of four would have been overwhelmed by the orc army by now.

The reason why Morgan dared to jump off the city wall alone to prevent the Orcs from blasting the drainage outlet was because he had the special skill "Any Door" in hand, which allowed him to escape at any time if the situation went wrong.

Otherwise he wouldn't do such a risky thing.

Behind Morgan's team of four, surrounded by Rohan's elite warriors.

Some of them were also seizing the time to repair the door, while others were holding bows and arrows and following closely behind the four-person team to kill the enemy.

at this time.

The Guards soldiers led by Éomer rushed up from the passage behind the gate.

Looking at Morgan at the front.

Éomer rushed over immediately.

"Bang bang..."

Quickly rushing to the city gate, Éomer raised his hand to block the attack from the orcs in front.

Blocking several blows in succession, Éomer accelerated his steps forward, quickly slashed out the long sword in his hand, and a helmeted head with blood spattering immediately rolled to the ground.

Morgan on the side only noticed Éomer appearing next to him.

"How is King Théoden?"

Seeing Éomer later, Morgan asked immediately.

"My shoulder was injured, but it shouldn't be a big problem..."

Éomer dodged the attack from the front again, and said immediately after piercing the helmet of the orc on the opposite side with his sword.

"That's good..."

Morgan nodded, and slapped the orc with the shield in his hand, making the orc unsteady, and stabbed out with the sword in his other hand.

"Pfft..."

The elf sword pierced the orc man's neck deeply, and he raised his foot to kick over the orc man's body.

With Éomer's support.

Morgan quickly glanced back at the door behind him.

I saw that the door that was originally smashed into pieces was quickly repaired.

As soon as he turned around, he saw an attack coming towards him. He ducked sideways to avoid the attack. With just a slight bow of his head, Morgan quickly thrust the long sword into the orc's belly.

After dealing with the enemy in front of him, Morgan immediately looked at the figure not far away who was almost killing him and shouted: "Aragorn!"

"You can retreat..."

"Eomer, Gimli..."

"The gate is repaired and ready to retreat."

Morgan called to his companions behind him, preparing to retreat together.

At this time, the orc army still had a big advantage.

Morgan and the others relied solely on tacit cooperation and strong strength to suppress the orcs outside the gate and not allow them to enter.

At this time, you must be cautious when letting go and retreating.

Otherwise, when the orcs with crazy attacks see the enemy retreating in front of them, they will definitely come forward with force.

When the situation that we have been maintaining with all our strength is destroyed in an instant, it will be over.

Morgan and others began to fight and then retreat.

Finally, when they were approaching the gate, a loud roar came from the gate behind.

Morgan immediately yelled: "Let's go!"

After saying that, he immediately turned around and rushed into the thick door that was about to be closed again.

Aragorn and Éomer Gimli did the same, rushing into the gate closely behind Morgan.

At this time, the orcs outside were chasing after him like crazy.

The next second.

Dozens of arrows were immediately shot out from the gap where the door was about to close, turning the fiercest orc warriors who were chasing them into hedgehogs.

But the strong orcs at the rear would not be frightened by this and continued to rush forward crazily.

At this time.

With a huge roar.

The huge city gate, made of thickened and sturdy wood and repaired with a large number of thick iron spikes, slammed shut.

The fastest charging beastman immediately hit the thick city gate.

The city gate was closed instantly.

The surrounding soldiers immediately swarmed forward, and the huge thick wooden boards each held in their arms were placed behind the city gate, and then thick and long iron nails were hammered into the gate.

Just a few breaths.

The Rohan warriors, who obviously had more experience, nailed the gate into an iron barrel.

At this time.

"Bang bang bang bang bang..."

The sound of huge hammering doors began to be heard from the door.

Morgan and Aragon Gimli were standing behind the city gate, gasping for air as they looked at the repaired and stronger gate.

"It should be fine now..."

Jin Lichu held the battle ax in his hand and looked at the patched door in front of him and couldn't help but say something.

"It would be nice if it were that simple..."

Morgan let out a long breath, stood up straight, and said in a deep voice: "The defense of the gate is only temporary. More depends on the top."

Morgan said, pointing to the top of his head and continued: "As long as the attack can keep up, those strong orcs will be as unable to get close to the gate as they were at the beginning."

The words just fell.

"Bang bang..."

Two loud noises came from outside the gate.

Immediately afterwards, the knocking on the door by the strong orcs stopped abruptly.

Morgan's expression changed slightly and he immediately looked at Éomer.

Éomer was also looking at Morgan at this time.

The two reacted the fastest and immediately turned around and ran towards the stone stairs leading up to the fortress behind the city gate.

Aragorn also reacted at this time and quickly followed.

Legolas reacted equally quickly. He was about to follow but was grabbed by Gimli behind him.

"Why are you all running backwards?"

Looking at the few people running away without saying a word, Gimli immediately asked in confusion.

"Of course it's to better deal with those guys outside."

"Don't you see that?"

Legolas broke away from Gimli's pull, asked a question, and then ran back.

"Every one of you is just like Gandalf, saying things you don't understand."

"How would I know..."

Seeing Legolas running away quickly, Gimli murmured and had no choice but to follow him.

When Morgan and Éomer quickly rushed to the upper fortress where the city gate was, several warriors were carrying a huge stone and throwing it down.

Obviously, the loud noise just now was caused by these huge rocks.

Morgan walked to the edge of the fortress.

"Whoosh..."

An arrow shot up from the orc battlefield below.

Morgan turned his head slightly to avoid the arrows, and quickly looked at the entire battlefield.

First, resistance on the outer walls continued.

The orc's attempt to blow up the drain was foiled by him.

Without the drain hole, the orcs could only forcefully attack the outer city wall.

And there are the most elite elven warriors from Lothlorien, plus the largest collection of Rohan's elite soldiers.

The battlefield on the outer city wall was obviously the most intense.

Even though the commander Morgan on the outer city wall was not present at this time, the two human and elf leaders, Maren and Haldir, still had firm control of the outer city wall.

Except for the outer city wall.

The most important thing is naturally the lower city gate where the fortress is located at the foot of Morgan.

But because of the height of the terrain.

The city gate is connected to the wilderness ground by a long curved bridge.

If the Orcs want to break into the Horn Castle, they must pass through this bridge.

However, the width of the stone bridge is limited, and the orc army cannot all squeeze onto the stone bridge.

This is an important reason why the gate of Hornburg is difficult to attack.

At this time, the orcs crowded on the stone bridge had already filled the bridge deck and continued to attack the repaired city gate.

The soldiers on the tall fortress at the city gate had learned from the previous breach of the city gate. Although they were much more cautious at this time, the attack did not weaken at all.

They also thought of ways to deal with the orcs below who wanted to attack the city gate.

That is to push down the boulder to block the city gate.

But the orcs will push away boulders blocking the way.

But this is exactly what the soldiers are thinking.

It's a pity that the stone bridge in front of the city gate is too strong. It is difficult for such a huge stone to break the stone bridge. Otherwise, if the stone bridge is broken, the orcs will not be able to attack the city gate again.

Except for these two places.

This is where the orcs attacked.

However, because the terrain here is too high, it is the highest location in the entire Horn Castle.

It will be very troublesome for the strong beasts to come up.

But they still have a way, which is a huge steel ladder that has been lengthened many times.

At this time, such a ladder was being quickly assembled by the army below.

"What do we do next?"

Looking at the seemingly deadlocked situation in front of him, Éomer, who was standing next to Morgan, suddenly spoke.

Although somewhat surprised that Éomer would ask this question.

After thinking about it, Morgan said in a deep voice: "Keep going, I believe a miracle will happen."

Such a decision immediately stunned Éomer.

But he quickly reacted and asked with hope: "Morgan, do you mean we still have reinforcements?"

"Reinforcements..."

Hear the word.

Morgan turned his head and looked east.

It was a huge sloping terrain.

Such terrain suddenly reminded Morgan of Lonely Mountain.

To the east of the dwarven kingdom of Erebor.

It also has similar mountainous landforms.

Faced with Éomer's words, Morgan did not answer, but looked eastward with deep eyes.

"It's already the fifth day..."

"Can Gandalf make it in time?"

Morgan thought to himself.

It was already late at night.

At this time, there was a sound on the stone stairs.

Morgan turned his head and saw Aragorn, Legolas, Kingli and several other companions following him.

this night.

It was destined to be an extremely difficult night for the Kingdom of Rohan.

The war continues on the battlefield of Fort Horn.

Helm's Deep stayed up all night.

Early the next morning.

When the first ray of dawn in the sky shines on the earth.

Horn Castle, in front of the ruined city gate.

The four-man team led by Morgan is fighting hard against the crazy orc army coming from the front.

At this time, the sharp-eyed Gimli suddenly pointed in a direction and shouted excitedly to the four friends not far away: "There!"

"Look there!"

"Who is that!"

Morgan held the shield and smashed the orc in front of him, raised his bloody and tired face and looked in the direction of Gimli's finger.

Just to the east of the Horn Castle, you can see the huge and vast mountain slope.

A white figure rides a pure white horse.

At this moment, I am standing under the golden light that has just risen, glowing...
