The war was far bloodier than any other battle. The blood kept staining the walls of Helm's Keep red, slowly sliding down and forming a stream of blood like a stream.
As time went by, the strong smell of blood filled the entire valley, and the corpses of orcs were covered under the walls of Helm's Keep, like hills.
The siege on the first day was just a test. Although Ashgar ordered the orcs to attack, he did not put all his strength into it.
The orcs suffered considerable damage under the fire of bows and arrows, and more than three hundred people lost their lives. However, when spears were thrown as cover, the momentum was suppressed.
The spears thrown with great force penetrated the bodies of many archers on the wall and were directly nailed to the top of the wall.
Suppression prevented them from launching unbridled arrow attacks, and also allowed the orcs' siege ladder to lean against the city wall.
Once the distance is close, there is no way to throw it. With the orcs' armor, the threat of bows and arrows is greatly reduced.
Moreover, the Rohan people in Helm's Keep face another problem, that is, they have to deal with the orcs who have climbed up, which is something that is inconvenient for bows and arrows.
So the hand-to-hand combat began.
The orcs are powerful and fearless of death. When they climb up the wall one by one and start to attack, the threat they pose is huge.
The orcs were dying and wounded, but the people of Rohan also began to suffer heavy casualties.
On the first day, more than a thousand orcs died, and more than a thousand Rohan died.
On the second day, Ashgar slowed down his offensive a bit. The orcs suffered more than 800 casualties. The Rohan Kingdom ran out of bows and arrows and fought tiredly, with about 2,000 casualties.
On the third day, all the people of Rohan fell into extreme fatigue, and including all the wounded soldiers, there were only more than 2,000 people.
Siyod was covered in blood and had straps on his shoulders. He stood on the wall with his brows furrowed and a worried look on his face.
"Hold on one more day, and the king's army will come on the third day."
He took the lead and killed many orcs, and finally persisted until the third day.
Although there were heavy casualties, as long as they survived today, it would be time for their Rohan Kingdom to counterattack.
"Prince, the orc offensive has been suspended!"
At this time, a loud shout rang out, and Siyod's expression tightened, and he immediately came to the city wall. Sure enough, the orc army had stopped its offensive.
"Have our reinforcements arrived?"
The deputy general also knew that there was something wrong with the sudden stop of troops, but then he thought, today is the third day, reinforcements should have arrived.
Excitement flashed in his eyes. If the reinforcements arrived, then as soon as the reinforcements launched an attack, they would rush out from inside and cooperate inside and outside, and these damn orcs would all die.
However, when he looked at Siyoude, he suddenly found that Siyoude's face turned as pale as white paper.
"Dong dong dong"
The sound of heavy footsteps came, and he suddenly looked towards the valley outside the city wall. His pupils shrank rapidly, and a look of fear flashed past, and then a chill hit the sky.
"Trolls, he, they actually have trolls!"
The orc troops were slowly moving out of the way, and three tall, terrifying trolls were walking towards the valley with heavy steps.
They are about seven meters tall, with dark skin and bulging muscles. They are covered in steel armor. The thickness of the armor is one or two centimeters, which protects the whole body tightly.
In their hands, they held a huge meteor hammer. The whole body was made of metal, and the head of the meteor hammer was full of blunt thorns. It was more than one meter in diameter and looked no worse than a siege hammer.
The three trolls strode towards Helm's Keep, each step seeming to step on the hearts of the Rohan soldiers.
Fear gradually spread among the army.
Even if it was the first day, it would be better for Ashgar to directly use the trolls that day than to show up now.
Seeing such a monster at the end of Qiangnu is a nightmare for all warriors.
"Shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow!"
Thyod ordered loudly, but the soldiers at the top of the city were silent and said in a sad voice: "Prince, our arrows were all used up yesterday, and all the rolling stones and rolling logs were used up."
They were defending in a hurry and had no way to stock up on more defensive supplies. They had already prepared all the food.
Needless to say, there was no time to make and prepare the equipment for city defense.
Although Ashge deliberately delayed time, he had no intention of actually paddling.
The siege was a real siege, consuming the supplies in Helm's Keep. This was also his plan.
Soon, the trolls strode to the front of the orc army, only a few dozen meters away from the city wall.
Thyod knew that he and Helm's Keep were on the verge of life and death, and he almost screamed.
"Throw your spears, throw your spears out, don't let that thing get close."
"Whoosh"
Thyod almost used all his strength to throw the spear in his hand.
How he hoped that this spear could penetrate the troll's body and kill the troll.
If that was the case, morale could be boosted, and Helm's Castle would be able to hold on until his father arrived.
However, there was a soft ding sound, and the spear fell on the troll's armor, leaving only a little mark, and then fell down weakly.
All the Rohan Kingdom's city-defending soldiers almost did the same thing, sparsely hitting the troll's body with their spears.
Most of them were unable to break through the armor's defense. Occasionally, some fish that slipped through the net were pierced into the arms of the shemale.
The next moment, the troll, who was in pain, pulled out the "thorn" and threw it back, sinking it into the wall.
For a troll with such a huge body, unless it specifically hits a key location like the head.
Otherwise, if you want to kill him with ordinary attacks, you have to grind slowly.
And now, do Thyod and the others still have time to kill a powerful troll?
I watched helplessly as the troll walked through the winding corridor and came under the city gate.
"Block the door, seal the door!"
Seal the city gate, this is Thyod's last order, but in Ashgar's opinion, it is just a useless effort.
"attack!"
The orc troops launched another attack, and this time the entire army pressed forward. The remaining six to seven thousand orc troops joined the siege sequence in a dark and dense manner.
"boom"
The troll began to hit the city gate, and the huge meteor hammer it swung, with unparalleled power, hit the city gate hard.
With just one impact, the city gate flew sawdust, shook hard, and made a loud noise.
The troll's power is so great that this city gate can't bear it.
The three trolls took turns to smash the door, one after another, and the city door began to break through, revealing the embarrassed soldiers behind and in front of it who were blocking the door.
On one side were the embarrassed soldiers of the Rohan Kingdom, and on the other side were the fanatical orc warriors. The shouts of killing almost resounded through Helm's Keep.
Ashgar did not take action himself. He held the dark ring devoutly and knelt on the ground. The black power spread around the entire Holy Helm Cauldron, invading the ground like a root system.
"The great mother tree of war, accepts the call of the great master, and I offer sacrifices and descends here."
The ground rumbled, and dark tree roots suddenly emerged from the ground, writhing like a python, and then took root wider and deeper. A mother tree actually grew here.
