Chapter 190 Green Wall
Chapter 190 Green Wall
Although they were infected with the virus, these guys didn't seem to be much different from when they were alive. They were still ugly and disgusting, strong and terrifying, and disciplined... If there was any way to distinguish them, it was the very unpleasant stench of decay emanating from them, and their pale eyes that looked lifeless like dead fish. The zombie orcs in the front row all raised their shields and advanced steadily. Large-scale skills hitting these steel shields that were strengthened by dark magic and were nearly five centimeters thick could only cause a few small sparks, not to mention instant death.
Just when everyone was having a headache, a huge rock weighing more than ten tons suddenly fell from the sky and smashed directly into the zombie orcs, then began to roll forward. Wherever the rock passed, there was a deep bloody trench more than three meters wide and more than ten meters long... With just this one strike, at least twenty zombie orcs were crushed into meat paste. The solid tower shield was no more effective than a piece of thin paper in front of this huge rock that was completely out of its weight class.
Before everyone was shocked, hundreds of huge rocks fell like rain, instantly clearing out a large area of clearance for the zombie army following closely behind.
Lin Yu had not only seen this type of attack not long ago, but had also personally experienced it. Yes, this was exactly the boulder throwing method used by the tree herders. And this seemed to be the reinforcements that Lin Yu and his men had been waiting for. It had to be said that this was quite powerful...
Under the cover of the Ent Treeherders' boulders, they finally managed to retreat to Helm's Keep. And after escaping from danger, there were naturally more important things to do, such as... First check whether the current environment was really safe.
After taking in the surroundings, everyone who came to Helm's Keep for the first time, including Lin Yu, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"This is awesome!"
It was definitely not the miserable shelter with only dilapidated stone walls in the original movie, because from the beginning, Lin Yu accepted Grima Qiaoyan's advice and renovated and reinforced Helm's Deep, especially the drainage channel that could cause the collapse of the city wall, and carried out a comprehensive transformation...
It has to be said that Lord Grima Wormtongue, besides being a treacherous official, was unexpectedly an outstanding military strategist. But this is not surprising. In the original movie, he was the only one who found the fatal weakness of Helm's Deep and took advantage of it. It can be said that half of the last refuge of Rohan, which had stood for thousands of years without being breached, was destroyed by his mouth. Moreover, the combat strategy of Saruman's orc army was basically set by him in advance, but Saruman did not give him any real power... A talent was buried in vain.
After mobilizing the huge manpower and material resources of the "Sea God Temple", this huge project that originally would have taken several years or even decades to complete was completed by 80% in just a few months. As for the remaining parts that were not completed in time, they were no longer a problem at all...
The majestic tree herders in the movie no longer have the advantage they once had against the biochemical orcs, but they are still one of the strongest and most powerful intelligent races on the continent.
Due to Saruman's wanton destruction of Fangorn Forest, hundreds of "original tree herders" who had not been transformed, ravaged, or destroyed by Lin Yu, walked out of Fangorn Forest with anger, just like in the original movie. However, unlike the original movie, after knowing that they could no longer defeat the white-robed wizard alone, they did not rashly attack Isengard, Saruman's lair, which was like a demon castle, but chose to join their foreign elder, Lin Yu. This is undoubtedly a gratifying result, and it also brings the total number of Ent tree herders in Lin Yu's hands to about two hundred.
Nearly one hundred tree shepherds, about ten meters tall, are now rooted in front of the "Deep Brook Wall" of Helm's Fort. "Rooting" is a racial talent skill of the tree shepherds, which requires three seconds of preparation time. After the skill is completed, the tree shepherd will be unable to move, but its physical defense and all-attribute defense will all increase by two times, and the damage it receives will be restored at ten times the normal speed, and it will not be affected by attacks such as knockback and knockdown. Moreover, the basic strength of the rooted tree shepherd is also three times that of before, and it can throw several tons of stones to a distance of six hundred meters. It can be said to be the most powerful "trebuchet" in Middle-earth. It is no exaggeration to say that every rooted tree shepherd is an indestructible turret fortress.
However, unlike the Elven Treeman buildings in the Warcraft plane, the Ent Treeman is also proficient in a variety of natural magic, such as "summoning wild treemen". These treemen, which are directly created by ordinary trees with natural magic, look almost the same as treemen in appearance, but they are far less intelligent and powerful, and cannot cast any natural magic. The only advantage is... a large number. Before this, the treeman had summoned all the century-old trees within a radius of 100 kilometers into wild treemen, and ordered them to move to Helm's Keep. Together with the treeman, they are now rooted in the corner of Deep Creek Wall.
The green walls formed by the Ents and Wild Treemen, plus the poisonous thorny vines summoned by natural magic that entwine back and forth among the trees... From a distance, Deepbrook Wall seems to be surrounded by a forest, with a natural style of an elven castle. With this layer of green protection, plus the seemingly narrow but actually bottomless moat in front of the wall, the defensive power of Helm's Keep is definitely strong enough.
In order to welcome Lord Rohan, who is also the greatest pope of the "Temple of the Sea God", the largest religion in Middle-earth, Lord Lin Yu, almost all the people with more status in the city rushed out of the city gate to meet him. And the person who ran in the front with an extremely excited expression was Grimma Qiaoyan. This traitor who was cunning and hated in the original movie, but ultimately had a tragic fate, has now been thriving after he joined Lin Yu's men. Compared with the Prime Minister of Rohan who "held the emperor hostage to command the princes" in the movie, his current power has not decreased at all, but has become more amazing with the crazy expansion of the scale of the Temple of the Sea God. In addition, he met Lin Yu, a hands-off shopkeeper, so it can be said that his current power is not inferior to the leaders of the major camps or even the races. This is an ending he never dreamed of.
