The combat effectiveness of ordinary skeleton warriors may not be strong, and neither Zhang Ziyu nor Death intentionally gave them greater power.
But their huge numbers, zero wages and zero food consumption are enough to give them a higher status, such as serving as security guards for various villages in Rohan.
They can't take care of any big things, but with a small team of orcs, they can patrol and monitor a large area.
Therefore, under the discussion of Saruman, Ashgar, and the Bone King of Angmar, a large number of ordinary skeleton warriors replaced the original garrisoning orcs.
More orcs from Isengard, West Folde to East Folde were liberated and sent to the front line to complete the replacement of Ashgar.
The number of the orc army increased from just over 10,000 to 20,000 within a few days.
The army continued to attack the land that had not yet been conquered by the Rohan Kingdom. This time, they were also attacked by the undead army of the Bone King of Angmar.
With the Witch King of Angmar as the leader, thousands of elite bone cavalry as the core, and a total of 30,000 to 40,000 ordinary skeleton warriors, no one in Rohan is a match for such a force.
In less than seven days, the entire Rohan Kingdom was completely recovered, and Zhang Ziyu became the supreme leader of this land.
At this time, Saruman, Ashgar, and the Bone King of Angmar gathered at Nindorf's position.
Nindorf is located on the lower reaches of the River Ent, at the end of the White Mountains, at the junction between Gondor and Mordor.
To a certain extent, the land of Rohan should have a certain border with Mordor.
Gondor controlled the area below Nindorf. By coincidence, it was directly bordering Mordor, which somewhat isolated Rohan.
Of course, such a small distance is not a problem at all. As long as Ashgar wants, they can attack and bring this place under the control of the orc troops.
However, they would not do that, because they discovered an interesting thing. Mordor did not retaliate against them, but was attacking Gondor.
The attack on Gondor has been going on for a whole week, and a large number of Orc troops are attacking the capital of Gondor, the white city of Minas Tirith.
Within a week, Gondor gathered a large number of troops, and battles broke out with the orc troops again and again. Corpses were everywhere. The capital city guarding the city had fallen. Now the orc troops are besieging Minas Tirith.
"Boromir, the black sword, killed thousands of orcs by himself and was the greatest hero in protecting Minas Tirith. I don't know when such a figure appeared among humans."
In Nindorf Fortress, Saruman, Ashgar and the Bone King of Angmar are sitting in the main hall, with their triangles facing each other, reading information from the Dark Eagle.
After the giant eagle was thrown into the Beast Mountain as one of the mother bodies, after a period of slow gestation, there was already a small team of about 20 eagles.
They were not invested in the construction of the air force, but instead became air scouts under the leadership of Saruman.
They are not simple giant eagles, but powerful creatures with Maia blood. Although they can only be regarded as dark demigods now, they already have extraordinary strength, wisdom and communication skills.
They hovered over the mountains and lands of Gondor, bringing the latest news to Saruman and the others.
"The power of darkness, the Prime Minister's son, is not an ordinary person."
"Bone King of Angmar, what do you feel?"
On the battlefield, the Bone King of Angmar's perception and premonitions were much stronger than those of Saruman.
As luck would have it, the land of Gondor was filled with the smell of death, and the killing caused by Sauron's tens of thousands of troops was far more terrifying than imagined.
"The Dark Ring Messenger, he is just like us."
The cold voice of the Bone King of Angmar came. When Saruman heard this answer, he frowned slightly and said: "Impossible."
"If he is really our companion, then he will not guard Gondor alone, but join the master, unless..."
Ashgar took over Saruman's words. He rubbed the ring on his hand and said, "Unless he has not fully accepted the power of the dark ring, just like the elves, dwarves and the Lord of the Rings."
Completely accept that integrating the body and mind with the dark ring is completely different from using the power of the dark ring alone.
"I'm going to Gondor."
Angmar Bone King's cold voice sounded. The corpses and flesh there are excellent nutrients. I will recruit some powerful soldiers. I took a look at the Black Sword Boromir.
Saruman nodded and added: "If he really masters the dark ring, then lead him to the right path."
"I will, for the glory of the master."
After the short meeting, Ashgar and Saruman stood still and continued to build a stronger and larger fortress in Nindorf.
No matter what the situation in Gondor is, this is a front line at the junction of the three countries and relies on the important Ent River. There is nothing wrong with building a front line fortress.
The Angmar Bone King followed his decision and set off from Nindorf on his own bone dragon, directly across the tall Amundin outpost and flew towards the capital of Gondor.
------------------
Gondor, in Minas Tirith.
Soldiers wearing armor stood on the wall one by one, holding weapons in their hands, constantly attacking the orcs who climbed up the wall.
This was an extremely brutal battle. Under the walls of the White City, the corpses of the orcs had piled up into a "black wall" stacked along the walls.
Boromir held a sword in his hand and moved quickly at the top of the city, when a large number of orcs rushed to the top of the city.
The dark ring in Boromir's hand immediately surged with dark energy, covering his sword and even half of his body.
"Men of Gondor crouch"
Upon hearing his order, the soldiers of Gondor immediately crouched down, and then saw Boromir slash out with his sword, and the black light split the orc into two sections.
Boromir's eyes were dark. He charged quickly, and at the same time, his sword light attacked the siege ladders set up on the wall one by one.
The sharp sword blade cut down these siege ladders, and countless orcs on these siege ladders fell down wailing.
The offensive at the top of the city slowed down instantly, the orcs slowly receded like a tide, and the temporary attack was over.
"Boromir!"
"Black Sword!"
The soldiers of Gondor were chanting his name. In the roar like a wave, the darkness gradually retreated into the Dark Ring, and Boromir returned to his original appearance, breathing heavily.
"Brother, take a rest first."
Faramir felt sorry for his brother, but he didn't have that much power, so he could only rely on his brother to repel the orc troops.
Boromir nodded and said: "You watch here, I will go find father, we can't sit still and wait for death."
