Chapter 2699 Storm

Heavy rain fell.

Standing on the city wall, the prince's heart was extremely heavy. Under the dark night, he could see tens of thousands of orcs wearing thick steel armor, holding spears and sharp knives, walking towards the fortress where he was. Although the walls of this fortress were strong enough to withstand any attacker's attack, he still didn't have the slightest sense of peace of mind.

"my friend."

At this moment, another man came up to the prince.

"You seem disturbed."

"indeed."

Hearing Eichenbrand's inquiry, the prince nodded and clenched the sword hilt at his waist.

"To be honest, I don't know whether we can win this war, but in any case, we will not surrender."

As he spoke, the prince looked towards the city wall, where the army of elves was lined up neatly, and they arrived at Helm's Deep before the sun went down. I have to admit that this is a boost to the Rohan army stationed in Helm's Deep. They no longer expected to receive assistance from all sides. After all, Gondor was too busy to take care of themselves, the elves could not live in seclusion, and the dwarves also had their own troubles to deal with.

It can be said that now everyone is sweeping the snow in front of the door, and don't care about others.

Under such circumstances, the elves were willing to abide by the ancient covenant and send an army to fight side by side with them. Facing these evil half-orc army really made them breathe a sigh of relief.

But this is not enough.

"What did the gentleman say?"

"He said he needed to think about it."

"Really……………"

Hearing the prince's answer, Eichenbrand sighed, and then patted the prince's shoulder.

"I know what you are thinking. If that gentleman is willing to help, with the power of his huge metal chariot, the orcs here are not to be feared at all."

"Yes……………"

Facing his friend's inquiry, the prince had a weird expression.

"It's just that I found out after I came back that we forgot one thing..."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"...that gentleman's metal chariot...seems to be moving very slowly..."

"Uh……………"

Hearing this, Aikenbrand's face changed slightly, and he remembered that when they left the forest together, he and the prince also praised Fang Zheng for his huge metal chariot. And the gentleman at the time did say that "this is the fastest it can go on the ground"

And at that time, they were just trotting forward...

"...Well, it seems that we really have nothing to hope for."

As he said that, Eichenbrand also silently drew out his long sword. At that speed, he wanted to reach Helm's Deep—by that time, he didn't know if it would be too late!

At this moment, the army of orcs has come under the walls of Helm's Deep Fortress.

War is imminent.

At the same time, just as Eichenbrand and Prince Rohan thought, the Lightning slowly moved forward along the hillside at a speed that did not match its name.

"Couldn't it be faster?"

Ling sat on the chair, twisting and turning. She stared at the map on the screen, showing some dissatisfaction.

"Since we set off to now, we have had lunch and dinner, played games for a while, and took a shower! The result is still climbing... how long will it take?"

"It will take at least six to seven hours."

Tio calculated the time, and then replied helplessly.

"Why is it so slow!"

"There is no way around this. After all, when we originally designed it, it was just in case. And considering the size of the Lightning and the terrain here, we still have to find a relatively gentle path to move forward..."

Tita also spread her hands helplessly. As she said, as a space battleship, the Lightning does not have ground off-road capabilities. The reason why the ground and water accessories are equipped is just in case. Not to mention that although most of the places where the Kingdom of Rohan is located are plains, the places near Helm's Deep are basically mountains and hills. It would be really bad luck if the Lightning broke into two pieces directly.

"You can go to sleep again."

Fangzheng said with a smile.

"When it's time, I'll call you."

"okay………"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, the little girls hesitated for a moment, and then nodded. After all, the children themselves go to bed early, and they are tired after all the tossing around. At first, they were excited for a while because they were going to participate in the war, but soon, the speed of the lightning like a turtle completely extinguished the enthusiasm of the girls.

As for Yuli and Qianhu, they have already gone to bed, they really have no interest in war at all.

"Then I'm going to sleep first, big brother, you must wake me up when you get there?"

"Brother Fangzheng, good night."

"Good night, Mr. Fangzheng."

After saying hello, the girls left the command room one after another, and then the hatch closed and the lights dimmed.

"call………"

Looking at the closed hatch, Fangzheng breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he lower his head and look at the petite figure hidden under the table.

"Altina, they have already left."

"Huh?" (Is it?)

The prince swung his long sword and chopped down a half-orc climbing up the city wall, then looked at his companions and said loudly. From the beginning of the battle to the present, the two sides have been deadlocked for several hours, but the orc army still failed to capture the city wall. After all, this is the fortress of the Kingdom of Rohan. If it is only this level of attack, they can still hold on.

"Be careful, that guy must have other plans...!"

At this time, suddenly, not far from the city wall, a voice sounded.

"Shoot that orc!!"

Hearing this voice, the prince turned his head to look, and saw not far away, a ranger was standing by the city wall, pointing down anxiously. And below him, a half-orc who looked like he was holding a torch was rushing forward desperately. Hearing the ranger's order, an elf hurriedly bent his bow and set an arrow, and shot it out. However, the half-orc didn't intend to stop at all, and still rushed forward sullenly.

what is going on?

Seeing this scene, the prince suddenly felt a chill in his heart. The half-orc was not holding a weapon, but for some reason, he felt some kind of extreme danger and fear from that half-orc!

"Shoot that orc, quick!!"

At this time, the ranger's voice became more and more anxious, and the prince rushed to the city wall in a hurry, raised his longbow and aimed at the target, but before he could shoot an arrow, the next moment, the half-orc rushed under the city wall in a pothole.

Afterwards, deafening explosions erupted from the ground, and at the same time, the originally solid city wall also burst open.

The huge impact brought by the explosion caused both sides to fly backward involuntarily, and the soldiers standing behind the city wall were also stunned by this sudden scene. Soon, as the explosion subsided, the half-orcs roared and rushed into the gap created by the explosion in the city wall. They brandished their weapons and rushed towards the soldiers in front of them.

"Everyone get ready! Block them!!!"

Inside the city wall, Rohan's soldiers were also ready for the first time. They raised their spears and pointed them forward. However, those half-orcs were fearless. Facing the spear, they did not dodge or dodge, and rushed straight up.

"...Why are they doing this?"

Seeing this scene through the monitor, Yuli and Qianhu were stunned. They watched those half-orcs rushing directly in front of the soldiers without dodging or hesitating, and let their bodies be pierced by the spears in their hands. And those soldiers didn't stop their movements. Facing the weapons wielded by the half-orcs, they were also not afraid of death, roaring and rushed forward, and then were knocked down to the ground.

"Aren't they afraid of death?"

Looking at the live broadcast of the battlefield in front of him, Qianhu couldn't understand it at all. Obviously, we have seen so many people die, and so many people are still dying, why don't both sides plan to stop?

"Because they believe they are all fighting for something worth their life."

Fangzheng stared at the screen, and replied in a low voice. At the same time, he glanced at Altina who was lying on the chair beside him, closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep, smiled, reached out and stroked her hair . Under the light, you can see that Altina's lower abdomen is slightly bulging... Well, probably because she ate too much.

"Is this war?"

"This is war."

Fangzheng answered Qianhu's question firmly, and then looked at Ling.

"How much time do we have?"

"There are still fifteen minutes to enter the battlefield."

"Very well, get ready."

"Yes, big brother!"

The torrential rain is still falling.

At this moment, the defenders in Helm's Deep could no longer hold on.

"We must retreat!!"

The prince grabbed the old king and shouted loudly. The latter glanced at the lost city wall and gritted his teeth.

"Retreat immediately, retreat to the fortress!"

"Okay, immediately..."

"Boom, boom..."

However, at this moment, suddenly, the ground began to tremble slightly, and for a moment, both sides in the battle stopped involuntarily. Nobody knows what happened, was it an earthquake?

But at this moment, the prince standing on the tower looked into the distance, but his expression brightened.

"Father, look over there!!"

While shouting, the prince stretched out his hand and pointed to the back of the orc army. The old king raised his head and looked in the direction pointed by the prince. Then, he saw a scene that he couldn't imagine.

In the hills to the right of Helm's Deep, a dark, shining metal object appeared there. It had eight wheels in total, and looked like a huge siege engine. And this weird thing is quite huge, even almost as tall as its own fortress.

Seeing the appearance of this monster, the Orc Legion and the soldiers of Rohan all stopped at the same time and looked at it suspiciously. No one knows what this is, is it a new weapon of Orcs?

However, at this moment, the strange chariot that climbed the hill suddenly shone brightly. At the same time, a strange, cold female voice sounded, echoing throughout the battlefield.

"MCV reporting in."

"Ready for deployment."

"Building the Soviet Empire."

Accompanied by this icy sound, the huge metal chariot suddenly began to deform. The steel plates on both sides of its body slid down and turned into a building like a city wall. At the same time, the entire chariot body turned upwards. Lifting, the steel tumbles, twists, shifts. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a strange-looking building.

In the middle of it is a large silver-white sphere, and below it is a pillar. Surrounding this weird sphere, there are four smaller spheres beside it.

What exactly is this?

Before everyone could react, a rapid siren sounded, and at the same time, the entire building shone bright red.

"Warning, lighting storm created."

"Boom!!!"

Thunder roared.

Lightning erupted from the clouds and turned into silver snakes hitting the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the entire battlefield outside the fortress was bombarded by lightning from the sky, and countless lightning and silver snakes whizzed down, turning the entire canyon into a silvery white.
