Chapter 5084-5087 [The decisive battle begins]

Although it was not the first time that they saw Xiang Nan cast a spell, the Gondor warriors were still surprised to see that the Ringwraiths were scared away by him.

"Okay, they probably won't dare to come again in the short term." Xiang Nan nodded.

"Thank you so much, Master Kili." Boromir didn't know what to say, so he could only keep expressing his gratitude.

"You're welcome." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Although we won this time, it can be seen that Sauron really made a lot of preparations for the attack on Minas Tirith. So now is not the time to relax. A larger-scale war may start at any time."

Boromir and Faramir both nodded.

This time, the orc army brought so many siege machines with them, including catapults, battering rams, ladders, etc., none of which could be made in a day or two.

It can be seen that Sauron has been planning and preparing for war all these years. Therefore, although they have won temporarily, they are still far from completely destroying the enemy and enjoying eternal peace.

"If only Frodo could destroy the Ring," Boromir sighed.

"Frodo? I have seen him." Faramir said immediately, "I caught him and Sam two days ago, but I let them go and they went to Morgul Valley..."

"You captured them, and you knew they had the Ring, yet you did not give them to our father?" asked Boromir in surprise.

Faramir nodded when he saw him asking this, "I know it is a dangerous and powerful force that no one can control except the Demon King, so I can only let them destroy it. I'm sorry, brother."

"No, you did the right thing." Boromir shook his head. "Faramir, you have a stronger will and a purer heart than I do. I am proud that you have such a brother."

……

Over the next two days, the orcs of Mordor attempted to retake Osgiliath.

But the orc army sent by Sauron was no match for Xiang Nan alone.

Every time tens of thousands of troops were sent out, they were easily resolved by Xiang Nan, which left Mordor helpless.

In a blink of an eye, it was dawn of the third day. The sky had just brightened and everyone was still sleeping.

At this time, there was a rumbling sound of footsteps. Without Xiang Nan's reminder, the soldiers woke up at the same time.

Then they looked towards the east and were all stunned with fear.

Then they saw hundreds of thousands of orcs standing on the plains in the east.

They formed into huge columns and were advancing towards Osgiliath in orderly steps.

"Oh my God, the end of the human world has come!"

Seeing this scene, even the warriors who had experienced many battles felt frightened.

Because the number of enemies is so great that it is almost impossible to count them.

"I feel they are filled with fear!" At this time, the Orc commander sneered, "Blow the horn, the time to attack has come! Let humans howl under our swords, that will be the grand movement of our victory!"

Then the orcish horns sounded together, and the deafening sound echoed throughout Osgiliath, even waking the citizens of Minas Tirith.

When they woke up and looked outside, they saw an endless army of orcs covering the mountains and plains for miles.

This made them all scream in fear and panic, thinking that the end of the world had really come.

As the horn sounded, hundreds of thousands of orcs rushed towards Osgiliath. "Everyone get ready~" Boromir shouted immediately, and then all the soldiers raised their longbows and drew their bows to draw arrows.

"Shoot!" Boromir gave the order, and arrows were shot out like a dense rain, hitting hundreds of orcs at once. Someone even shot through two or three orcs with one arrow.

But the death of hundreds of orcs was insignificant to the army of hundreds of thousands, so the orcs were not scared away, but attacked even more fiercely.

……

Seeing this, Xiang Nan immediately cast a spell.

In an instant, countless meteorites fell from the sky again with flames and long trails of thick smoke, hitting many orcs on the plain.

There are also countless orcs who were burned to death by the flames of meteorites.

But the number of orcs was still too large. Even if 10,000 died, there were still more than 90,000 orcs.

What's more, Xiang Nan couldn't use all his strength to destroy the orcs.

Because he needed to give Aragorn a chance to make merit.

With Xiang Nan's ability, let alone annihilating all the orcs, even destroying Sauron would be a piece of cake.

But then Aragorn would have no chance of making any contribution.

Without his tremendous achievements, how could he win the support of the people of Gondor, eventually ascend the throne of Gondor and achieve his return as a king?
Just from what Denethor shouted yesterday, you can tell that he is not someone who is willing to give up power.

If Aragorn fails to make tremendous achievements and win the support of the people, he will have no chance of regaining the throne.

Just like the archer Bard, if he had not shot the dragon Smaug to death with a black arrow, he would not have been elected as the leader of Lake Town; if Thorin had not led his people to retake the Lonely Mountain, he would not have been called the King under the Mountain.

So Xiang Nan could only hold back and fight.

……

After a round of meteor showers, Xiang Nan waved his hand again, and hundreds of fireballs flew out and hit the orcs. For a moment, the fire was blazing and the flames spread across the prairie... Thousands of orcs died tragically again.

But even so, the pace of the orcs' attack not only did not stop, but became more fierce. Some orcs had already pushed siege vehicles to the walls of Osgiliath.

Then the hook on the siege vehicle caught the city wall, and the orcs on the vehicle rushed down from the vehicle and started fighting with the Gondor soldiers.

Seeing this, Xiang Nan continued to cast spells, and countless lightning shot out, instantly knocking down a large number of orcs, but the orcs still continued to rush up the city wall and fight with the soldiers of Gondor.

Some orcs even crossed the Anduin River by boat and besieged Xiang Nan and his men from the west of Osgiliath, trying to cut off their retreat and completely trap them on the city walls.

"No, we can't hold on any longer. I suggest retreating." Xiang Nan shouted to Boromir, "The walls of Osgiliath are still too low to hold back so many orcs."

The walls of Osgiliath were only two feet high, while the walls of Minas Tirith were ten feet high, which was simply not an order of magnitude. Therefore, it was easier for them to defend Minas Tirith.

Moreover, they were really short of manpower. If they didn't retreat, they would probably be surrounded and killed by the orcs.

"Retreat, retreat, retreat to Minas Tirith!" Boromir shouted.

Xiang Nan then put up a protective shield to protect all the Gondor warriors. Then they rode on their horses, and under the protection of the protective shield, they broke through the blockade of the western orcs and rushed all the way back to Minas Tirith.

The swords wielded and the arrows shot by the orcs were completely unable to break the protective shield, allowing the remaining Gondor warriors to return safely.
