Chapter 195: Even Death Is Impossible
“It won’t be long before his head and soul fire will be placed before you.” Soran’s tone was extremely vicious, like a poisonous snake ready to attack at any time.
Although Galadriel was full of confidence in Lin Yu, the bloody head of Lin Yu still emerged in her mind. She began to regret why she had provoked Sauron and brought danger to her beloved. At this time, Galadriel's strength was firmly imprisoned by Sauron's dark evil power. Now she was almost the same as an ordinary human woman and could not do anything, so there was no one to watch over her. Her momentary quick words made Lin Yu the primary target of Sauron's hatred, which was definitely not what the Elf Queen wanted. Galadriel, who was full of guilt and regret, suddenly rushed to a half-orc guard leader not far away, and her towering chest collided with the rusty and crude sword in the hand of the half-orc.
Orcs are good at killing and eating people, but they are very dull in emergency response, judging the situation and observing people's words and expressions. Under the conditioned reflex, this powerful orc leader instinctively stabbed Galadriel with the rusty sword, and the blood-stained blade penetrated from front to back, completely cutting the queen's heart in half.
This change happened so fast, so fast that it was beyond everyone's expectations, and no one could react in time. As the queen's eyes slowly closed and her life was about to leave her body, she suddenly heard a roar that resounded through the world.
"No! You will never leave me! Galadriel, you will always be my plaything!" Along with Sauron's roar that echoed in everyone's soul, the evil eye on the tower suddenly emitted a purple-black light, which shone directly on the body of the elven queen like lightning. Galadriel's "corpse" gradually floated up in the light, and at the same time, the elven magic ring that had been worn on her husband's hand actually flew up by itself and was once again put on the queen's slender finger.
Just like the previous scene, Sauron's huge evil power was directly injected into Galadriel's body through the Water Ring Nanya, but this time he did not "blow" her up directly like he did to Celeborn before. However, the queen's complexion became paler and paler, as cold and lifeless as ice and snow, and a trace of cold and evil aura began to slowly emerge from her body. About a quarter of an hour later, the blazing evil eye on the black tower had become dim and could be extinguished at any time. Galadriel, who was floating in the air, suddenly opened her eyes, and two purple-red evil lights shot out, like two strange spirit lamps in the dark night. At the same time, a thick and seemingly indissoluble evil smile quietly bloomed on the woman's purple-black lips.
On the walls of Helm's Deep, the treacherous minister, Grima Wormtongue, who had already taken control of the military power, was shouting at the top of his lungs to command the battle. Although he had outstanding military talent, it was the first time in his life that he had commanded a battle of this scale. Facing the army that was rushing towards Helm's Deep like a mountain and sea, endless tension and excitement hit his heart like a tide, causing his heart to beat faster and faster to the point of almost paralysis.
Although the opponents are dead bodies, they are by no means the kind of brainless zombies that act only on instinct, but are closer to the undead army controlled by the necromancer, a real army. The first to launch the attack were the zombies that acted as cannon fodder. Most of them were the food debris left after the high-level zombies "feasted". Basically, each of them was missing arms and legs, and there was little meat left on their bodies. These zombies moved slowly and had low combat capabilities. They posed almost no direct threat to the city walls, but they could not be left alone, because the debris they left behind would destroy the moat. If a large amount of them were piled up under the city walls, it would not only reduce the height of the city walls in disguise, but also pollute the water source and even spread a terrible plague.
The walls were full of Rohan archers. Rohan was known as a country on horseback, and its soldiers were good at fighting on horseback but not good at archery, but that was relatively speaking. For a country that was always at war, bows and arrows were like toys for children and tools for adults, and were close companions for every man throughout his life. Although they could not hit the target with every shot like the elves, the shooting of Rohan soldiers was also very accurate, and the power was no less than that of firearms. A volley of thousands of archers could knock a large number of zombies to the ground.
Although zombies are already corpses, they will still die completely if they are hit directly in the head, which is no different from the zombies in the Resident Evil plane. The large triangular heavy arrows used by Rohan soldiers are enough to tear the entire head of the zombies. However, the tree people who are rooted under the city wall are the ones who really cause devastating damage to the zombie group.
"Vine Entanglement" is a racial skill of the Ents. They can grow strong and tough vines from their bodies, with a maximum of thirty vines. The strength of each vine is equivalent to 10% of the Ent's basic strength. The length of the vine cannot exceed three times the height of the Ent. This skill can only be used after the Ent has "taken root".
Long before the war began, a large number of giant rocks had accumulated within the range of these tree shepherds' vines, some as big as cars and some as small as basketballs. These vines quickly rolled up the rocks like flexible tentacles and threw them out with amazing force. The direct impact of the rocks and the subsequent rolling turned the landing points into a bloody mess, and the scene was as shocking and bloody as scrambled eggs and tomatoes.
More than two hours later, in this one-sided massacre, the zombies finally disappeared. When the last zombie was shot in the head by an arrow from the Elf Prince Legolas, tens of thousands of corpses were piled up within 500 meters in front of the Deep Creek Wall. The black blood soaked the ground, and the stench was extremely pungent. The archers' fingers were already red and swollen, and their arms were so sore that they couldn't lift them.
This time, the animals that rushed towards Helm's Deep were mainly zombies, zombie cows, zombie horses, zombie dogs... Various domestic animals and wild animals that were slaughtered by the zombie army continued to charge on the corpses of the previous zombies. Some of them were huge in size, with hard bones, and were difficult to be shot to death by bows and arrows; some moved very fast, and with their small size, they rushed to the bottom of the city wall in an instant. The most troublesome thing was that there were a small number of lickers mixed in with these cannon fodder zombies. These guys, who were already mutants, were not only incredibly fast, but also had terrible climbing abilities. To them, the city wall was like flat ground, and the speed of climbing the wall was almost the same as the speed of running. If it weren't for the tree people blocking them, I'm afraid the city wall would be difficult to save. Even so, the guards on the Deep Creek Wall suffered a large number of casualties in the battle.
