The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"Outflank them and block their way back!"

A group of cavalry dispersed from the main force, riding horses and whips, bypassing an arc, rushing to the back of the orcs, trying to stop them in front of the gate, and kill the enemy as much as possible outside the fortress.

Siyoud led the guard to chase down the enemy. The prince's breastplate was stained with blood, and the battle armor covering the forehead of the horse was also darkened with blood. This is not his blood, it's all the blood of the enemy. Scattered corpses were scattered on the ground, and the raised dust contaminated the weeds with blood, changing the color of the ground.

Suddenly, a low gully appeared in front of Isengard's gate.

Several half-orcs crawled and escaped the gully, one of them tripped over a stone on the ground and fell directly into the gully.

The cavalry at the forefront pulled on the reins, and the horse jumped up, trying to jump over the gully and attack the fleeing enemy.

Suddenly, a spear pierced from the gully and directly pierced into the unprotected abdomen of the horse. The horse neighed in pain, lost his balance and fell to the side, throwing the rider out of his back. The other parts of the ravine also held spears, and with the help of the strong orcs squatting in the dark night, stood up at the same time, stabling the unsuspecting Rohan knights with spears one after another.

Many horses were stabbed, the riders fell to the ground, and the strong orcs holding axes and hammers pounced on them, destroying them before the Rohan stood up. The riders behind noticed the changes ahead, and they quickly slowed down. Some people wanted to rush to rescue their comrades. But after the hussars lost their speed, the remaining strong orcs gushed out of the gully, holding their spears, and platooning. Kill the rider in front of him in a dense formation.

The remaining knights turned to avoid the gullies and spears. But the strong orcs did not chase them out as they expected, but retreated back into the gully again, and put their spears on the mound formed during the excavation to resist the possible impact of the knight.

"Why stopped?!" Siyoud looked at the cavalry retreating from the front: "Why retreat?!"

"His Royal Highness, there is a trench in front of us, and an orc pikeman stands in front of us!" a horseman shouted to the prince.

"Fall arrows, shoot arrows!" Xiyoude ordered: "Break them out!"

The archers behind hadn't caught up yet. The cavalry had gone far when chasing the deserters, and the infantry in the back were still chasing along the river bank. The riders in front can only take out the bows and arrows hung on the saddles, stand on horseback at a distance of more than 20 meters from the gully, and shoot arrows at the strong orcs hiding in the gully. Most of the arrows fell on the mound in front of the ravine, or flew over the head of the strong orc, and plunged into the flat ground behind. When the arrow flew by, a strong orc stood up and threw a javelin at the rider. From time to time, the rider was hit, or the horse was stabbed, and fell together with the rider.

"Where is the army behind?!" The strong orc leader asked in a muffled voice. He pinched a half-orc by the throat and pressed it to the ground. The strong orc's body seemed to have endless strength and anger: "Where are the soldiers who outflank the humans?!"

According to the plan, the charge of the Dunland Savage will give the Rohan an illusion, making them think that this is Saruman's attack. But there is no doubt that those half-orcs and Dunlanders who are used as cannon fodder can't stop Rohan Hussar from attacking. By the time the cannon fodder flees to Isengard's gate, the strong orcs who are truly the main force have long been in ambush with the help of the orc slaves, and have established a defensive offensive.

When the horsemen chasing the deserters are out of touch with the infantry behind them, it is the moment when the wolf cavalry hiding in the forest on both sides of Isengard outflanks.

Before a strong orc stood up and prepared to throw the javelin, he was hit by an arrow in his unprotected throat and fell back into the gully.

In the rear, the archer company holding the torch was already within sight.

"Where are the wolf cavalry?!"

"I, I don't know, I don't know!" Before the throat was chopped, the half-orc barely squeezed out a few words: "I don't know!"

The next moment, the sudden burst of fire made the strong orc with the white palm emblem on his face raise his head, and his line of sight went over the gate of Isengard, and he saw a fireball burst out of the crack in the underground forge, instantly illuminating the whole of Aixin. In the square, the night is like day.

The fireball rolled upwards and disappeared in the rising billowing smoke.

The rift in the entire forging factory seemed to go straight to the abyss of hell, where flames burned, thick smoke rushed into the sky, and many orcs who were knocked down by the explosion lay on the ground and hid among the corpses, too scared to move.

Standing on the wall opposite the dam, Saruman firmly held the magic wand in his hand, the other finger hidden in the sleeve of the white robe was twisted into a fist, his eyes widened with anger and hatred, staring at him. It is an underground forging factory in a sea of ​​flames. Only flames remained in the crack, and the smoke was accompanied by the wailing of orc slaves who could not escape. Everything inside was shrouded in flames.

At this time, a huge beast spread its wings, slashed across the sky, flew over the observation tower next to the exit under the light of fire, dived straight down, and disappeared under the crack in the ground.

"No..."

Within a few seconds, the Griffon spread its wings and flew out of thick smoke. There was a figure on its back, and another figure held its paws and flew toward the smoke-filled sky.

"No!!!"

Saruman howled in pain, he raised his wand and pierced the end of the wand into the sky as if venting. A ball of fire flew to the sky, but the griffon had already flown into the sky, and the fire ball disappeared in the distance without a trace.

The 2413th chapter the battle of Eisen River

The Griffin carried the two who flew away from Isinger and landed on the clearing not far from Isinger. Before the Griffon landed, Zelin released his hand, and the boots rolled forward as soon as they hit the ground to relieve the impact of the fall.

After Zelin stood up, the Griffin had landed, and Altarel jumped down from above.

"If you want to burn yourself to death, you can find someone to do it for you." The elf ranger frowned: "This is your plan? Rush in and set a fire, then escape?"

"How is this different from what we did in Mordor back then? Anyway, it is nothing more than poisoning, setting fire and then assassinating, all of which are the same." Zelin took a deep breath and patted the soot on his clothes: "I have always been very If you want to kill the dam, do you see where it was built? In a valley, if the dam bursts, the water flows directly into Isengard. Because of that valley, there is no other way for the water to go."

"Just now you should let it fly directly to Saruman. We can attack and kill it directly."

Altarel raised his finger to the Griffin, who was pacing around in a circle, staring vigilantly around. This kind of war beast can feel dangerous and chaotic instinctively.

"Don't take risks, instead of fighting for that little possibility, you can do more things alive and help more people. Maybe one day in the future, you will need to come forward." Zelin patted Altari Er's shoulder: "We have to go back to support the Rohan people as soon as possible. They must be in trouble on the battlefield."

"Why do you say that?"

Zelin moved a shoulder and walked towards the Griffin, and Altarel quickly followed. The demon hunter let the Griffin land temporarily because he couldn't break into the battlefield hanging from his paws.

"When we attacked, I thought I would be able to attract some of the orcs back, but in fact only the half-orcs in Isengard besieged us." Zelin sat on the griffon, and he reached out to the elf ranger. Paying attention to Zelin’s kindness, he jumped directly behind Zelin and sat firmly on it: “Well, I hope they can defeat Saruman’s troops, but if a white-robed wizard’s tactics are only to summon Pick up all the soldiers and start a charge...At least Gandalf was much smarter than him during the Battle of the Five Armies."

When Zelin arrived at the top of the battlefield riding a griffin, a small group of wolf cavalry collided with another group of Rohan knights. The Rohan knight threw the spear in his hand at the moment when he was in contact with the enemy, and hit several wolf riders in the front, but the wolf who lost the rider continued to rush towards them, and the wolf in the front jumped up and took a bite. Biting the war horse by the throat, he threw the war horse directly to the ground, and the knight and the war horse were overturned and pressed underneath.

But before the wolves had time to bite the rider, another rushing Rohan Hussar slashed his back with a knife, tearing open a deep bone scar on his back.

Under the cover of the archers who followed, more cavalry contracted in the sandbar camp. Some strong orc pikemen jumped out of the trenches to pursue them, and were soon shot to the ground by the archers. More cavalry rushed out, attacking the wolf cavalry who tried to attack the archer from the side.

In the chaos, Zelin found Siyud who was still in command of the battle. Altarel bent his bow and arrows on the back of the Griffin. But was shot in the head by an arrow. A wolf pounced on a warrior who had lost his mount, and was shot through the back in midair.

Siyoud led his guard behind the palace, Zelin controlled the Griffon to dive down, sweeping across the ground at low altitude, and rushing to a group of strong orc spearmen who were still advancing, a group of twelve strong orcs, all with their backs facing away. The Griffon is launching a charge in the direction of Xiu De. When the orcs behind heard the howling in the sky, the sharp claws of the griffon swept past like a blade.

In an instant, there were only stumps and broken arms left on the ground, and a few strong orcs who hadn't died on the sticky blood crawled forward painfully, until they lost their strength and life, they became unwilling to become a corpse.

"Hurry up!"

Altariel, who was about to put an arrow on the bowstring, heard this, but only clamped Zelin's waist with his knees, and the arrow in his hand kept on. The griffin climbed up suddenly, avoiding the stabbing spear. The light body of the elf was hardly affected. Two strong orcs who came up from behind and tried to throw javelins at the Griffin just raised their arms. One was shot in the face, and the other was shot through the breastplate by a sharp arrow. , Clutching his abdomen and fell down. Zelin held the reins with one hand, and drew the rune of Ignifa Seal with the other hand.

The stream of flames gushed out, and in the blink of an eye they swallowed the five orcs below. Altariel took the opportunity to stabilize the figure, and the remaining strong orcs who avoided the flames also died under the bow and arrow.

The remaining half-orcs were frightened by the sudden blow in the sky. There were no strong orcs, and the half-orcs infantry holding machetes and shields were not the opponents of Rohan Hussars at all. Some turned and fled, while the rest mostly died under Rohan's Sabre.

"Collect the formation, protect the archers, and retreat to the camp!"

Siyoud raised his sword and looked at the griffon in the sky: "Witcher, you made the flames in Isengard, right?!"

The demon hunter controlled the griffin to fall on the flat ground five meters in front of Xiyud, and the prince's horse was pacing back and forth in shock.

"Yes, I hope this will help you in your battle, Your Highness."

Zelin did not leave the mount: "How is the battle?!"

"Our first wave of offensive was successful. At least Saruman will need some time before calling up new Dunlanders to serve him!" Xiyoud looked at the griffon and looked at the beast of war in amazement: "But we There are not too many infantry, the orcs here are different from the ones we fought in the White Mountains before!"

"This is a strong orc, your lord, much stronger than ordinary orcs."

"But I will deserve this fight!"

"No, your lord, you must retreat and return to the camp!" Zelin waved his hand: "Isinger still has an army, these are just a group of strong orcs! And Saruman is mobilizing archers to the wall, you The troops are too close to the city wall!"

Zelin recalled what he had seen in the underground forging factory. In a quagmire, there were egg-like objects piled up one after another. Through the film covered by the mud, one could see what was going up and down inside: "Sa Ruman’s army is not just these, don’t go near the city wall, there are traps everywhere!"
