1403 Backup Party (1/2)

To handle ene that had to be done was naturally to dig trenches The trenches did not have to be too deep - a foot would suffice – but they s cavalry hated theholes worked too

To dig holes was actually more simple The soil of the fertile Pelennor Fields was round at an angle of 70 to 80 degrees, pull it out with force, and it would scoop the earth up, leaving behind a pit about 30cm deep If a horse's hoof dropped into the pit in the allop, the horse's foot would surely break due to the terrifying forward inertia of the sprint

Such hard labour was, of course, left to the Orcs labourers Moreover, considering how famous the battle of the Rohirrim cavalry on Pelennor Fields was, Jax was naturally prepared for it Everyone knew that the charge of an entire host of cavalry was deadly, but they also knew that if the cavalry were forced to slon, they would not be er than infantry

What's more, Sauron's army had also made preparations to counter these reinforcements that were, truthfully, not unexpected, in the form of the Oliphaunt ar as the infantry could hang on for a short period of time, these monstrous southern beasts would be able to easily destroy the cavalry's charging forathered to tally the contribution points they had

Sheyan did nothing but sleep last night, but thanks to his prestige in the party, everyone still handed in all the contribution points they had gained without secretly keeping any for personal use The only funny thing was that Aldaris actually traded his contribution points to Zi with an indignant snort, letting Zi hand theether with hers He used such an obvious, roundabout way to show that he was still Zi's supporter and not Sheyan's subordinate

Party Ace initially had nearly 1300 contribution points, but after the e held by Jax, they knew that they were currently in a dire situation, and a loss in the ould be terrible news for them too, so in consideration of the overall situation, they contributed 1000 contribution points to the alliance

Of course, these 1000 contribution points were not given for free Together with over 800 points given by another party, they had redeeenerated by the heavy trebuchet would be distributed back to the two parties in a 6:4 ratio

However, the heavy trebuchets e rate, so it was hard, almost impossible, to earn back the investment in them They were like the military weapons of a country Most of the tiain, but a country could not do without thes like Pippin, of course, but the chances were so sli the lottery

Party Ace had invested 1000 points but only got back less than 500 points in return It was a loss which they had no choice but to bear as one of the backbone parties If they did not, their side would have no chance to breach the city Fortunately, after a night's hard work, Party Ace had earned back more than 1100 points, so they now had a total of over 1500 points

1100 points did not sound like a lot for one night of battle, but it was actually already quite considerable Based on the exchange rate, this a et that the opponent had the terrain advantage If they could not be immediately killed, they would often be rescued away by their comrades Moreover, when the soldiers that were hired by eneave half the normal contribution points

Sheyan proposed that they use the 1500 contribution points to redee their party - Black-Ear, Big-Nose and Limp The normal price of a Troll was 380 contribution points, but to specify the Trolls to redeem in this ould surely incur additional costs

But the Trolls redeemed in the normal ere all ordinary Trolls, and they would start with zero experience points On the other hand, as Sanzi? A professional summoner He had already found out all the detailed stats of Black-Ear, Big-Nose and Lienerals in the LOTR story who had their own naer than those without, so were the Trolls Specifically, their base attributes were about 10-15 superior to the redeemable ordinary Trolls

Second, these three Trolls were experienced, tried-and-tested soldiers Black-Ear had the th, while Lie of evolving – in other words, his experience bar was already over 95 Big-Nose and Li already exceeded 80

In the end, for the sake of hiring the three Trolls, Party Ace paid more than 1200 contribution points! And that was the the price after a 30 discount thanks to Sheyan's Legend Level +3! But of course, you get what you pay for After the three Trolls put on the horrifying armours specificallyas three blocks of steel htening

What's her base attributes than ordinary Trolls, they were able to sustain the additional weight of the Earth shi+eld that Kulutego bestowed on the in full ar slowly around their bodies likethem with additional protection They could even control these rocks with theirthem at the enemy!

When all the preparations had been made, it was time to choose the party's position on the battlefield This was of the uth the Pelennor Fields was a plain, there was a slope on its western side which extended for more than ten miles The Rohirri over such a long distance, so unless the commander's brain was filled withadvantage of the slope to boost their momentum

The Orc slaves and labourers had unshakeable faith, so their morale would only collapse under the most extreme of circumstances Therefore, they were perfect as front line cannon fodder

Although the contestants on Sauron's side had already laid down a large nu Théoden, which galloped unhindered across Middle Earth, would surely not be so easily dealt with, so the cannon fodder's purpose was only to slon the cavalry with their body After the cavalry's momentum was halted, what awaited them would be the ferocious counter attack of the real army of Orc and Uruk-hai!
