Antonis was a noble lord who ruled the Lamedon region of the Kingdom of Gondor.
Most of his family members are known for their boldness and fearlessness, and most of their rulers are mountain people with tough temperaments.
Because they have been fighting against the Orcs who live in the White Mountains all year round, their bravery far exceeds that of their neighbors.
That is, the residents of Gondor in the Blacksource Valley and Ringgro Valley.
Of course, although the lords of these two areas did not react as quickly as Antonis, after settling the matters related to the territory, they also took their soldiers along the southern road of the Kingdom of Gondor towards Minas Tirith.
Depart from here.
During the march, this force also fought off a small pirate squad near the Donier River that was preparing to rob nearby residents.
After they arrived at Laibenning, they met Antonis who was stationed nearby and prepared to repair themselves before continuing to White City.
"Eagle Eye" Dude, the lord of the Black Source River Valley, leads 600 archers. There are many prey in the valley, so there are many hunters.
The lord of Lingro Valley, "Kang Gai" Drake, led 400 infantrymen with various equipment.
There is a small mineral vein in the mountains near Lingro, so Drake's family has rich iron ore to arm its own infantry.
The place where they were originally stationed was dozens of kilometers away from Pelagir, and they couldn't observe what was happening here at all.
But when the Swan Knights were breaking through, a small group of cavalrymen got rid of the wolf cavalrymen who were entangled with them, but found that their position seemed to be closer to Antonis's station.
So he took it upon himself to cross the Siris River with his few men and went to the west of Pelagir to seek help from the Gondor army stationed there.
Pelagir is the main city in Benning. Whether it is the Southern Road that runs through Gondor or the Harad Road that connects to Yinsilion, they all converge in Pelagir.
Not to mention that this port city also guards the river leading to the White City and Osgiliath.
After receiving the news, Antonis certainly knew that the main city could not be lost, so he immediately led his own troops and the local militiamen from Benning, preparing to advance towards Pelagir along the Southern Avenue.
As for Drake and Dude, it is naturally impossible for them to continue repairing.
At this time, on the battlefield outside Pelagil City, in addition to the family guards of the three lords, the ones charging at the front were the militiamen from the Lingro Valley.
Behind these soldiers were thousands of militiamen who came to Benning to organize themselves.
The people of Gondor never lack the courage to fight against evil.
Although their number cannot be compared with the army led by Angmar, they only amount to over two thousand at full strength.
But their goal is very clear, which is to quickly eliminate the Uruk army under the city wall, and then enter the city to help the defenders hold on and wait for support from Baicheng.
This part of the army was led by "Kang Da" Drake. After approaching the battlefield, they bravely charged the enemy.
And Antonis led the swan knights who asked for help, plus all the cavalry they could muster, and rushed towards the dozens of trolls.
The "fearless" Antonis did not expect his cavalry to be able to kill those terrifying monsters.
He just hoped that his cavalry team could attract the attention of the trolls and slow down their pace of supporting Uruk.
This gave Drake time to lead the army, clear out the scum gathered under the city wall, and then enter the city smoothly.
"Eagle Eye" Dude led the archers at the back of the team. His sharp eyes were always calculating the distance between himself and the enemy.
"Stop and line up!"
Following the voice of "Eagle Eye" Dude, the six hundred archers stopped running and quickly lined up in three rows.
"Raise the bow, raise the bow arm above your head and punch twice, aiming at the enemy directly in front."
As Dude shouted, his order was conveyed to the entire team by his followers.
After more than ten seconds, Du De let go of the bowstring in his hand and shouted at the same time.
"Fire the arrow!
"
Following the order, a dense rain of arrows directly shrouded Uruk's head, and a large section of its easternmost team was shot down.
With the help of the moonlight, Dude, who had sharp eyesight, could clearly see the effect of this shooting.
Then he immediately issued his second order, and Drake did not have much time left for him.
"Punch and a half above the head, shoot."
Another dense wave of arrows fell directly in the center of Uruk's dispersed formation, but the damage caused by this wave of arrows to the enemy was not as good as the first wave.
In addition to the enemy's dispersed formation, most of the Uruks also noticed that arrows were coming towards them and raised their shields to cover their vital positions.
At this time, the infantry unit led by Drake, after two waves of arrows, approached Uruk's somewhat loose formation due to avoiding the arrows.
"Kill them!
"
With a loud roar, Drake waved the ax in his hand, directly chopped down the two Uruks in front of him, and led the infantry behind him into the enemy's camp.
The human infantry who came for support soon fought with Uruk under the city wall.
Faced with this situation, it was naturally impossible for Dude to let his archers continue shooting.
"Everyone, draw your swords and charge with me."
Following the order, Du De also rushed forward with the archers.
The first wave of contact between Antonis and the trolls led by the cavalry had already ended long ago.
Although he inserted the spear in his hand fiercely into the troll's thigh, and relied on his extraordinary courage and good horse control skills to successfully escape the troll's counterattack.
But the cavalry who followed him were not so lucky. After completing the attack, most of them were knocked out by the furious troll with a stick, including both men and horses, and then lay in the lake of flesh and blood.
There was no movement on the ground.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Under such an attack, there is no possibility for ordinary humans to survive.
Most of the cavalry who were able to successfully attract the attention of the trolls and escape smoothly were Prince Doamroth's swan knights, but they actually only accounted for a quarter of the cavalry team, and the rest were all
Died at the hands of a troll.
But their deaths were not in vain, as most of the trolls were successfully attracted by the galloping cavalry.
Following the cavalry led by Antonis, they ran towards the bank of the Anduin River.
Antonis would lead his cavalry around a corner there, and after getting rid of the cannibals pursuing him, he would join the infantry under the city wall and enter the city.
When the time comes, there will naturally be ballistas on the city wall to deal with these scum.
As for Berylach, who was directing the soldiers to fight, the moment he saw the reinforcements, the light of hope in his eyes suddenly brightened.
While he was slashing the Uruk with all his strength, he shouted loudly to the deputy beside him: "Quick!
Gather an elite force to support them."
Soon, a small but well-equipped and fierce-looking infantry group gathered at the gate of the city.
They still need to wait for an opportunity.
When the infantry unit led by Drake is completely entangled with the Uruks, it is naturally the best time.
The elite infantrymen who had been prepared for a long time rushed out from the south gate of Pelagir. Amidst the screams, together with the infantry led by Drake, they attacked the enemies below the city from both sides.
At this time, Uruk, who was snatching the city wall, not only had to face deadly weapons thrown from above, but also had to deal with attacks from the left and right.
In the process of panic, they actually started to fight independently without unified coordination.
Faced with such a favorable situation, after Du De led the archers to arrive, the human troops actually surrounded the Uruk army, which was about the same size as them.
Suddenly, on the local battlefield under the city wall, the human condition actually improved.
But now the Witch King of Angmar on the hillside in the distance is not in a very good mood.
If the blazing anger in his heart had any heat, it would definitely burn those pirates who wasted food alive.
Because they asked for benefits but did not work, they did not follow Angmar's orders at all, and entangled the human troops stationed in Benning, allowing this support army to destroy his siege plan in one fell swoop.
Originally, Uruk's army had already scaled the city wall. As long as they could entangle the humans on the wall and allow the trolls to smoothly advance to the southern gate of Pelagir, then the battle would be over.
That door without mithril and without magic could not withstand the attack of the trolls.
As long as the gate is blasted open, there are trolls clearing the way in front, and coupled with the dense orcs behind them, it is impossible for Pelagir's defenders to withstand such an attack.
However, all this was interrupted because of the human support army.
What Angmar didn't know was that the Umbar pirates who were originally going to plunder Benning set out from near Pelargir and soon joined forces from the Gray Port at the mouth of the Anduin River.
The elf fleets collided together.
After the two sides tested each other, the ferocious and cunning pirates knew that with the performance of their own ships, they could not defeat the smaller elven fleet in this vast sea area.
Their own ship could not catch up, and the range of their bows and arrows was not as good as that of the elves. The only small ballistae that could pose some threat to the elves was also because it was at night, on the dark sea, and their eyesight was simply not as good as that of the elves.
.
The pirate who controlled the crossbow only saw a vast expanse of white, and was killed by a crossbow arrow fired from a distance, including the man and the cannon.
What's the point?
Knowing that he could not defeat the pirates on the opposite side, he ran away towards the south in a hurry, without even returning to Pelagir.
If Angmar launches a battle tomorrow, they should get the news.
Angmar, who didn't know all this, was very angry, but that was only because of his unreliable allies.
He still has full confidence in the battle in front of him.
Especially when Angmar discovered that Pelagir's solid door was actually opened by humans who didn't know whether to live or die.
This kind of thing immediately turned Angmar's originally angry heart into cruel pleasure, because he had already thought of a more convenient plan.
I saw him waving the steel sword in his hand, driving the black horse under his crotch, and started to rush towards Pelagir.
And gave the order for the entire army to charge.
The large number of orcs who stayed there without any mission were originally regarded as a reserve force by Angmar, and were planned to be left to charge when the city gate of Pelagir was broken by the trolls.
But now that the war situation has changed, it is natural that all efforts need to be invested.
As Angmar quickly approached the battlefield, the dark aura emanating from his body fluctuated strangely.
Then he looked up to the sky and let out a howl that was so piercing for the orcs that even the Uruks who were fighting threw away their weapons and covered their ears.
And when this cry reaches the ears of humans, it is not just harsh. It is as if they have seen the thing that scares them the most. The terror and despair arise from deep in their hearts, and even make them...
Muttering unconsciously, he threw away the weapon in his hand.
Even the "fearless" Antonis fell into a brief trance at this moment.
The entire battlefield fell silent for a few seconds as Angmar screamed.
Then, the half-orcs who were resistant to dark power reacted quickly, picked up the weapons on the ground, and chopped down the human warriors around them who were at a loss or running away with their heads in their arms.
The form of the battlefield changed at this moment, and the gate of Pelagir was also occupied by Uruk who reacted earlier. They had already rushed into the city. In a short period of time, the city was ablaze.
soaring.
Angmar tasted the fear that filled the entire battlefield and smiled with satisfaction. This was exactly what he wanted, this was exactly what he expected.
The owner will be very satisfied.
However, the evil leader of the Nazgûl immediately sensed the presence of the other two troops.
It was as angry as fire and as elegant as the wind.
Those were two auras that were incompatible with the current atmosphere, and they suddenly appeared in the north and south of Angmar.
There was simply no time left for the Witch-King of Angmar to think and wonder, after waves of horns sounded like a storm.
A cavalry unit with distinctive armor and stomach rushed directly from the west side of Pelagir.
The fastest among them was a knight whose armor shone like silver in the moonlight, and he was followed closely by twenty heavy cavalry in armor and riding gear.
More human assault riders were some distance behind this team, and their target was the orc army behind Angmar.
Angmar watched as thousands of mighty human cavalry rushed towards him under a flag emitting white light.
But he could clearly feel that the knight in shining armor rushing at the front was coming towards him.
