Chapter 34 Open Conspiracy
That bastard Zeus, after hearing Phineas's divination, actually planned to lure the main force of the Rohan army towards Gothmog. "I didn't agree with this, so I broke with them. I ruined their plan, so of course there won't be any reinforcements," Aziz said calmly.
Fang Senyan and Reef both gasped after hearing Aziz's words.
Who was Gothmog? The commander of the entire two hundred thousand Orc legion! Although he possessed the passive and perverted ability of a commander: when a soldier willing to fight was beside the commander (within one hundred meters), even if there was only one soldier, he would not fall, and his life would be permanently resident in his body by virtue of the power of Sauron and the Nine Ringwraiths!
However, from the unique ability he possessed, it could be seen how important this guy was. Historically, there were many cases where the death of a commander led to the collapse of the entire battle! If Gothmog were to fall, it would be difficult to say that the Orc legion would not immediately collapse.
In the original plot, the Orc legion was indeed a very remarkable and powerful army. The casualties in the age of cold weapons exceeded at least 40%, but they were still fighting bravely and refused to withdraw from the battlefield. However, with Gothmog's death, the Orc legion collapsed, so Fang Senyan's speculation was definitely not groundless.
In fact, it was not necessarily the case that Zeus and the others deliberately betrayed Gothmog, after all, the commander's ability was very perverted.
The purpose behind their actions was actually very simple and easy to understand. They wanted to use the powerful guards around Gothmog and the amazing strength of the remaining seven Ringwraiths to hold the enemy back, causing a stalemate, and then, in the chaos, lure out the high-ranking generals of Rohan and surround them. In this way, it was equivalent to the Lightbringer team exchanging their strong for the opponent's, but they could seek huge benefits from it.
However, Zeus and the others were too confident. To put it bluntly, this was playing with fire, engaging in a huge gamble! While calculating others, they were actually exposing their own most vulnerable and vital areas!
It should be known that according to the direction of the plot, the Witch-king of Angmar, the leader of the Ringwraiths, would fall in this battle - or to be precise, in a few tens of minutes - at the hands of Princess Éowyn, and Gothmog would soon be jointly killed by Gimli, who had summoned the army of mountain men's souls, and Aragorn!
For Gothmog and the Witch-king of Angmar, this was a fate-like arrangement, and as their allied Contractors, they should do their best to avoid this from happening. However, the Zeus team, for their own selfish purposes, was trying to lead the battlefield in this direction! Once they were used by the other party's Contractors, it would be extremely dangerous.
Aziz's motives were also very clear at this time. Since Gimli and Aragorn had not appeared, he lurked and waited for the best opportunity to fire a shot, regardless of everything, to injure Éowyn. This was to prevent fate from happening and to allow Éowyn to leave the battlefield as much as possible to avoid the fall of the Witch-king of Angmar.
It was impossible to know how much his efforts would achieve, and Aziz was taking his own life as a bet!
After joining the Ace team, even Aziz, who was knowledgeable and experienced, couldn't help but be shocked by the sudden surge in hit points and magic points, and couldn't help but say disgruntledly:
"...This is too unfair. Sailor, your team bonus is so perverted! No wonder it's so difficult to kill one of you!"
Zi snorted coldly in the team channel, unconvinced:
"I completely merged the Illuminati into the Ace team, otherwise, how could the team level be so high?"
Fang Senyan smiled but did not reply, because the battlefield was not a good place to chat and reminisce.
At this time, Éomer, like a roaring golden lion, charged towards them. He raised his steel spear high and slammed it down! At this time, Reef raised his shield without fear and met it!
Reef would definitely be able to take this blow, Fang Senyan had no doubt about it, but how much damage this blow could do to Reef was directly related to whether Fang Senyan and the others could kill this guy.
Although Fang Senyan and the others were a double-tank configuration, strictly speaking, Reef, with his shield, was more suitable to rush up and absorb damage against this kind of boss with huge single-target damage. He was undoubtedly the main force. If Éomer's ordinary attack made Reef struggle, then there was no need to fight next, it would be better to retreat as soon as possible.
With a loud "clang," dark gold light splashed and scattered. Éomer's blow had slammed hard on the side of the shield and then been deflected to the side, deeply embedded in the soil.
When Reef blocked, he didn't stupidly raise the shield flatly and brace it hard, but instead exerted force to lift the shield diagonally, acting on the side of the spear to change the direction of the force, which had the flavor of using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds in Tai Chi.
After this blow, Reef immediately said happily in the team channel:
"It only deducted one-sixth of my health, we can try to take him down."
Fang Senyan said calmly:
"Well, then let's retreat first, this guy's legendary sword hasn't been unsheathed yet, and he hasn't used any cavalry skills, so we can't be too optimistic. However, if we want to kill him, we must first get rid of this guy's mount."
Éomer missed his blow and was a little surprised. This blow of his was a mixture of human and horse power. Since then, even trolls have found it difficult to resist. At this time, he was about to pursue when suddenly a threat struck, and he immediately blocked his face with his backhand. His palm hurt, and a bullet had hit his hand armor, then exploded and burned, and even his palm began to burn!
In pain, Éomer looked up, and his one eye was immediately blood red. It was that little bug that had injured his sister first, and then taken his left eye. He immediately roared and spurred his horse to chase after him.
However, Aziz was fighting alone before. He couldn't afford to make mistakes and was chased to the point where he didn't even have a chance to breathe. Now that he had the protection of an extremely powerful double-tank, and also knew that Reef's Holy Grip and Fang Senyan's Awakening Skill survival mark could give him strong protection, it was equivalent to having plenty of opportunities to breathe, and even if he made a mistake, someone could help him clean up the mess, so of course the effect of the retreat was different.
While Fang Senyan was retreating nervously, he said in the team channel:
"Wait for my command, all of you stop and only passively defend. Do not attack proactively."
Undoubtedly, Ronnie, who was full of murderous intent, was the most surprised and immediately couldn't help but say:
"Why?"
Fang Senyan sneered:
"Remember the eye demon that Zi killed? I bet that although the battlefield is a mess now, at least the Blue Light team and the other Sea Alliance must be paying attention to the overall situation. Éomer is the cavalry commander of Rohan. Killing him must be extremely profitable. And he has now been lured out of the main cavalry force of Rohan by Aziz by accident. How could those two teams sit idly by and watch this piece of fat?"
A cold light flashed in Zi's phoenix eyes:
"Are they going to rush to encircle and kill Éomer?"
Fang Senyan said lightly:
"I would do the same if I were them. It doesn't matter, if they want it, let them have it! The overall situation is the most important thing! Their attack on Éomer will inevitably attract the attention of most of the Rohan cavalry nearby, and we can also free up our hands to say hello to Zeus and the others. Gothmog must not be lost!"
Speaking of this, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of Fang Senyan's mouth:
"More importantly, in the original plot, Éomer survived and was crowned King of Rohan. This guy's legendary sword, Gúthwinë, hasn't been unsheathed yet, but he's already so fierce... To be able to survive from this meat grinder-like battlefield, hmph, I'm afraid his strength is definitely not as simple as it seems. Just relying on the mediocre MTs of those two teams to intercept this guy? Dream on, don't even think about it without filling it with dozens of lives!"
Fang Senyan guessed correctly, at this time, whether it was the Blue Light team or the Sea Alliance, the focus of their attention was all on this side.
"These two guys are really powerful. No, it should be said that Reef is indeed powerful, easily parrying Éomer's attack, and the timing of his Holy Grip to save Aziz was also chosen perfectly."
The speaker was Percy of the Sea Alliance. He looked at the scene on the battlefield, and the light in his eyes flickered constantly, as if the hard drive light was jumping and flickering after the computer opened three full-effect Crysis 2s at the same time.
"Um, Boss Laxili, do you think you can handle Éomer? This is crucial, and I hope you evaluate it conservatively."
Laxili stared at Éomer charging around on the screen, as well as Reef and Fang Senyan, and said disdainfully:
"Of course I can't."
As soon as this sentence was said, the faces of the surrounding people changed, but Laxili sneered:
"But if you add Heber, it couldn't be easier. What these two clowns can do, can't I do it?"
Laxili was a Beastmaster MT, and he and his pet were originally one. Percy was relieved after hearing this and said with a relaxed smile:
"Then there's no problem. Since this Ace team has given us such a great gift, then of course we can't miss it! I have already discovered that Éomer's mount is very powerful, and he obviously cherishes his mount very much. I have even discovered several times that Éomer would rather be injured himself than let his mount take the attack, then, we only need to kill his mount or inflict heavy damage on his mount, and naturally we don't have to worry about him chasing after us! Although the battlefield is chaotic, isn't this a great opportunity for our thief team to move out?"
At the same time, Jakes of the Blue Light team gave a more neat and tidy order:
"Gather all the manpower we can spare, there's a big job to do. Muse, Harry, Doss, Lehman, you four get ready. All the potions and props in the team warehouse will be given priority to you. In five minutes, I want you to stand in front of me in the best condition!"
"I don't expect you to be as powerful as Reef and Sailor, but my requirements for you are very simple. When there is really no way to avoid casualties, one person goes up to take an attack, that's okay! The four of you take turns, and we have dozens of brothers to assist you in attacking. Can you do it?"
The four people named by the Blue Light team were the MTs they had specially trained.
Among these four people, only Harry had the talent of an MT. The others could not be considered full-time MTs. This was because excellent MTs were often ambitious and unwilling to be inferior to others, and there was only one voice in the Blue Light team, that of Jakes. So his method was to use quantity to compete with quality. In this way, he didn't need to tilt too many team resources, and it was easy to control. He would never feel bad if they died, ran away, or betrayed him.
"Now there is only one problem left." Rollett said, "That muscular man seems to hate Aziz, because that guy crippled one of his sister Éowyn's hands, and then shot out one of his eyes. So he will chase after Aziz relentlessly. How can we get Éomer to attack us? In such a chaotic battlefield, we can't just go and find them."
"Of course I'm going to do this." Jakes said proudly. As he spoke, a large mass of darkness had appeared behind him, and then a ferocious head stretched out from the darkness. It was the mount of the Ringwraith! A Fellbeast! According to the strength of the Blue Light team, they did indeed have the ability to exchange for this powerful and perverted unit!
Rollett asked concernedly:
"Will it be too dangerous for you to go alone?"
Jakes said proudly:
"If Éomer can break through the power of my legendary equipment, then what does it matter if I die in his hands?"
At this time, Fang Senyan and the others had already seemingly escaped in embarrassment, and the location they escaped to was exactly in the center of the defensive areas of the Blue Light team and the Sea Alliance! Although the intention of doing so was already somewhat obvious, Fang Senyan was not afraid of the other party seeing through his intention at all! Because this was an overt plot, a conspiracy in the open. Even if the other party knew that they were being calculated, they would definitely do what he predicted!
With another loud "clang", Reef could not avoid it and could only take it hard again. The whole person was slammed seven or eight meters away by the spear. He rolled over and got up, spitting out the dirt in his mouth forcefully and said bitterly.
"Damn it. Boss, why aren't they coming to take over?"
Fang Senyan grabbed an arrow shot at Aziz with his backhand, while enduring three arrows with a calm expression. He said in an affirmative tone:
"They will definitely come. Big teams probably have more preparations to make, and I didn't make two preparations, did I? If it really doesn't work, I will go all out and kill this bull. It's not a bad thing."
It is worth mentioning that the cavalry of King Théoden were not fools who could only charge. They were a type of soldier between light cavalry and heavy cavalry, and were also good at riding and shooting like Genghis Khan's Kheshig. In the original plot, several Mammoth were also killed by arrows. One arrow could not even tickle the Mammoth, but everything had a process from quantitative change to qualitative change. If thousands of arrows and tens of thousands of arrows were fired, even the Mammoth could not bear it.
Of course, the most important thing was that Fang Senyan was still fighting Éomer at this time. Before, Aziz was focused on escaping and was wandering in the crowd, so most of the ordinary cavalry had no way to lock and aim at him. At this time, with the support of Fang Senyan and the others, the speed slowed down, so any skirmishers who had the ability to shoot would aim and shoot.
Reef had to deal with Éomer, so Fang Senyan naturally acted as a human-made bunker without hesitation. Obviously, for Contractors, the power of remote shooting of arrows was definitely far inferior to the charge and slash of cavalry after accelerating. In addition, Fang Senyan's talent had a natural restraint against this kind of medium-power damage, so the shooters were happy to shoot, and the shot were willing to be shot.
Up to now, Fang Senyan's progress in the title of Hedgehog had once again made rapid progress, approaching the mark of two thousand five hundred, which was close to half the level.
At this time, Fang Senyan suddenly felt the vision in front of him darken, but the perception did not warn him. He still turned his head to look, and suddenly saw someone in the sky swooping down on a Fellbeast. Although that person was wearing a skintight bodysuit like Spider-Man, he was holding a dark gold trident in his hand, and was about to swoop down with a roar.
Fang Senyan saw that the trident not only had a dark gold light, but the wandering light was also crystal clear and about to condense into substance. He immediately understood that this weapon was probably the same as his own Judgment, both being dark gold weapons with the potential to be promoted to legendary equipment. Although he could not see the person's face clearly, at this time, the only person who could exchange for a Fellbeast mount should be the leader of the Blue Light team, Jakes.
At the same time, Aziz suddenly glanced at Fang Senyan. This glance of his was very profound. Immediately, Fang Senyan immediately and naturally noticed that in the noisy battlefield and the vast sea of people, three people had appeared.
These three people looked very ordinary, and even wore the heavy armor of Orcs to hide their identities, but their speed of advance was extremely fast. They traveled through the sea of people, but it seemed that even dust, blood, and even air would not be stained in the slightest. Such a stealth technique was truly amazing. Although these three people were sometimes even leaving in opposite directions, Fang Senyan intuitively felt that their destination must be here!
Definitely!
