Chapter 106 The Grand Secret of Space

Fang Senyan had already obtained a lot of information from the Blue Light team, so he was repeatedly thinking and analyzing: For example, the information that killing an enemy's ordinary infantryman would yield one point of contribution.

Although it sounded like a casual sentence, thinking deeply, one could deduce many things from the exchange ratio.

One had to kill five enemy ordinary infantrymen to exchange for one orc. And what were orcs? They were just cannon fodder. No matter how many orc corpses there were, they could not fill the Minas Tirith's seven abnormal city walls! It could be said that they were the cheapest type of soldier.

And now it was a city siege!

Even if one was as strong as Fang Senyan, killing five ordinary human infantrymen protected by city walls was definitely not an easy task, let alone other contractors! Was it so difficult to exchange for an orc cannon fodder soldier? Was this battle a war between ranged contractors? Of course, that was impossible!

Therefore, from these details, Fang Senyan deduced that the people inside Minas Tirith might not just be defending! It was very likely that there would be very fierce close combat, and this would be the main theme of the war.

The best defense was offense. The best way to defend Minas Tirith was not to build ballistas in a tit-for-tat manner, but to directly rush out and destroy all the enemy's siege equipment! In this way, both sides would naturally have the opportunity to fight hand-to-hand!

From a small exchange, one could infer the specific tactics that the enemy commander would take...

Therefore, if one observed carefully, it was not too difficult for something like "observing a falling leaf and knowing autumn has arrived" to happen.

So, to put it bluntly, Fang Senyan carefully chewed and studied every piece of information, analyzing its advantages, disadvantages, gains, losses, successes, and failures.

Now, these abruptly appearing pieces of information were flooding in all at once, like stuffing a duck, making Fang Senyan feel like his head was about to burst.

He smiled wryly, shook his head, closed his eyes, took a swig of vodka, forced his mind to go blank, and savored the spicy taste in his mouth. His thoughts slowly calmed down, and his brain gradually returned to a clear and peaceful state.

Suddenly, Fang Senyan's nose caught an indescribable smell. It was a mixture of sweat, body odor, and a rotting smell, which slammed into his nose.

Even with Fang Senyan's calmness, he uttered a "gurgling" sound from his throat. He flailed his hands in the air and scrambled away a few meters in a disheveled manner before realizing that there was a Uruk-hai where he had been standing.

This Uruk-hai was very fierce and tall, wearing very sophisticated and heavy armor. Its nostrils twitched constantly, and its eyes looked at Fang Senyan's wine pot with extremely greedy eyes, obviously with ill intentions.

However, after it saw Fang Senyan's face clearly, it immediately became very frustrated. Obviously, this guy originally intended to rob him, but was deterred by Fang Senyan's terrifying 3 points of Legend and dispelled this idea.

Fang Senyan looked at Ronnie hatefully. Why didn't this guy remind him? He was needlessly fumigated by the poison gas!

Ronnie could only shrug his shoulders and make a helpless expression. After all, this was orc territory. This guy looked like an elite orc. What could he do if he came over to maintain order?

Fang Senyan took a few deep breaths, then walked over with his endless vodka and chatted with this elite Uruk-hai. However, he did not obtain any useful information. The only thing he knew was that this guy was a more powerful creature than the Uruk-hai elite, called an Uruk-hai Howler, with amazing strength. Of course, in Fang Senyan's mind, he could not assess exactly how amazing this strength was without getting specific combat data.

A person next to him looked at Fang Senyan's actions and couldn't help but sneer:

"Trying to buy information with a few bottles of wine? Are you kidding me?"

Ronnie immediately jumped up upon hearing these words, glaring fiercely at him with a hint of "a servant dies for his master's humiliation."

Fang Senyan, however, did not feel ridiculed by this guy's words, but felt that there was a lot to it. He directly traded a little contribution and said with great interest:

"What, has someone already tried it?"

This person was stunned. After all, one doesn't hit a smiling face. Considering the contribution, he patiently said:

"Our boss studied the habits and diet of orcs and Uruk-hai before entering. He exchanged hundreds of things from the space to cater to their preferences. And our boss's charm value is over a hundred. Even so, he only obtained seven pieces of useful information. You want to get information with a mere bottle of vodka. It's really a bit rash."

Fang Senyan's heart stirred. He knew that there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this space. It was quite difficult to break a hundred with charm value, because there were not many pieces of equipment that increased charm value. Judging by this, their boss's naked charm value should be at least forty points before becoming a contracted colonist!

At this time, Sanzai also came over. Fang Senyan saw that the expression on his face was a bit nervous and couldn't help but ask him to sit down and talk carefully. Sanzai walked over, sat next to Fang Senyan, and whispered:

"Brother Yan, I may have discovered a big secret of space!"

Fang Senyan said calmly in the team channel:

"Okay, I know. Tell me slowly and don't leave out any details."

Sanzai said:

"I suddenly received a related task. It is a special task given to the selected. The content of this task is already very harsh. The task says that when the Nazgûl ride Fellbeasts into battle, Gandalf will summon giant eagles that grow on the snowy peaks near Isengard to fight. And among these, three giant eagles are pregnant and about to lay eggs. My task is to obtain the eggs in the giant eagle's belly and tame them into mounts."

"Only these giant eagles in the bloody battlefield opened up jointly by multiple spaces may have natural supernatural powers when they grow to a high level. They can form a self-sufficient shield on the surface of their bodies and insist on flying for thirty seconds in any environment. In this way, when our Noah Space C is injured while traveling through the turbulent flow of time and space, I can ride a giant eagle to transport some materials to replenish and repair the space."

Fang Senyan listened carefully and then suddenly said:

"This task is very important!! If possible, we must do our best to help you complete this goal. The more you help the space, the more reluctant it is to let you die, and the more it can favor you within its authority! This is a big deal! Even a bias within the authority is good news for us."

Sanzai nodded, and then said seriously:

"The doubt I found is at the beginning of this task - the beginning of the task is written as, confidential document: Zhilie Era (Space 139th ~ Space 142nd calendar) selectee number 6513a."

Fang Senyan gradually sketched out a profile from the series of data that Sanzai said, and the original doubts were also explained.

Fang Senyan had always been wondering before, are these contracted participants in the Lord of the Rings the only ones in Noah Space C? Why aren't the stronger ones sent to help??

It is difficult to explain with just a hierarchical barrier. It is difficult to explain clearly with just the saying that "excellent people are restricted instead."

"The three words Zhilie Era are worth studying." Fang Senyan thought about it and said first:

"The word 'lie' (烈, meaning fierce) is usually difficult to combine with the word 'era', but in ancient China, when building large granaries, the eight words 'tian di xuan huang, yu zhou hong huang' (天地玄黄，宇宙洪荒) were also used to group the granaries. For example, 'tian' (天, meaning heaven) granary represents warehouse number one, and 'huang' (荒, meaning desolate) granary represents warehouse number eight."

At this time, Zi also came over and said in surprise:

"Then, you mean that 'lie' is actually a number, then the description that follows refers to the specific period of the Zhilie Era?"

Aldaris suddenly said:

"In my real world, there is a very famous basketball player named Kobe Bryant. He joined the NBA league through the draft in 1996 AD. In the same year, many famous superstar basketball players appeared. Therefore, people later referred to the basketball players who appeared in this year as the Golden Generation (96). This should be similar to the Zhilie Era."

Sanzai smiled bitterly:

"After hearing this statement, I thought of one class reading upwards at a time when we were in school. For example, when I graduated from junior high school, it was the class of 2000. The following will be added with a description (1997~2000)."

"Then that's right." Fang Senyan said seriously:

"At this time, we can almost judge the principle of how the space assigns battles to contractors. So, those who should be fighting us are mostly Zhilie Era contractors from the same period as us! Next, we will consider the barrier of strength - it's like forming a national football team. The first consideration is the 20-35 age group, and then consider whether to draw people from the Chinese Super League or the Chinese League One. In this way, we can ensure that the contractors from the same period are not pulled too far apart."

"Then, at least at our current stage, the contractors between the eras should not be able to run around randomly. The Cardinal who forced us to be very embarrassed before should be the first batch of people to enter the Zhilie Era, and we should be entering at the end of the Zhilie Era."

Zi suddenly said:

"Then, what will happen when our group reaches the peak of the Zhilie Era?"

Fang Senyan smiled:

"Of course, we will graduate, go to a higher school. After finishing junior high school, we have to go to high school and enter the previous era of the Zhilie Era. But I guess we will definitely have extra preferential treatment, just like the promoted team from Chinese League One to Chinese Super League. They will always be taken care of."

Next, Fang Senyan and the others talked about the task related to Sanzai. At this time, the group was strong and powerful. They felt that this task might be difficult, but it was definitely not impossible.

While they were discussing and communicating, Fang Senyan and the others also received related tasks:

Contractor No. 1018, you and your team have obtained a promotable task: Extinction of the Country.

Task Brief: Destroy Minas Tirith's symbol: the White Tower!

Task Tips: Minas Tirith's city is built in a unique way. The city is divided into seven levels, each with walls and entrances, but these entrances are not in a straight line. This special landscape is partly the natural mountain and partly the ingenious workmanship of ancient craftsmen.

You must break through the terrifying seven city walls and seven city gates to reach the Saint Spring Garden in front of the executive hall and the White Tower. The towering and simple White Tower goes straight into the clouds for one hundred and fifty feet. The Regent's flag overlooks the great plain thousands of feet below the tower. Destroying the White Tower is the sign that Minas Tirith has fallen!

Note: This task is a promotable task. After executing the promotion task option, you will not be able to return to Nightmare Space even if you enter the Hall of Dark Origin. However, this task will be promoted to a gold main line task without increasing the difficulty!

Warning: You must make a choice within twenty-four hours of entering this world, otherwise the option to advance the task will disappear.

Warning: If the Hall of Dark Origin is captured, all friendly contractors still in this world will die.

Tip: You can get the following milestones in this world (including this world and extended worlds).

Legendary Bane: You participated in the battle to kill any two of Gandalf/Aragorn/Gimli/Legolas.

Title reward: 1 point of Legend.

Enemy of the Gate Lv1: You have destroyed at least one gate of Minas Tirith. This milestone can be upgraded. For each additional gate destroyed, the title reward will also increase. Theoretically, you can destroy up to seven gates.

Title reward: Damage to buildings increased by 100~700 (increased to the highest level)

Hedgehog: You have been shot by plot characters a total of five thousand times (arrows must hit and deduct blood), currently 0/5000.

Title reward: You will be exempted from 90% of the damage from the plot characters' ranged attacks

Chef Lv1: Because of the creation of siege equipment, there is a big problem with the orc's diet. They cannot find enough dry firewood to cook food, so please help at least five orcs on the stove to cook the food, currently helped (0/5). This milestone is refreshed every 12 hours and can be completed up to 3 times.

Title reward: Fire damage increased by 5/Chef Lv3 reward: Spell damage increased by 15.

Coolie Lv1: To capture Minas Tirith, it is far from impossible to use only stones and blood, so the current transportation power has become a big problem. Help the orcs transport ten portions of various wood and stones from the camp in the Anduin River back. This milestone is refreshed every 12 hours and can be completed up to 3 times.

Title reward: Movement speed increased by 1/Coolie Lv3 reward: Movement speed increased by 4

Rich and powerful: The total contribution you have exchanged exceeds 10,000 points.

Title reward: You can get the privilege of exchanging any creatures/props/equipment worth less than 1,000 contribution points for free in this world. You always get a 15% discount when trading.

Looking at this series of milestones, Fang Senyan first set his sights on "Hedgehog"! The attribute of exempting 90% of the damage from plot characters' ranged attacks is indeed a great temptation for MT! Especially Fang Senyan's talent ability supports, it is likely that those arrow attacks only force one point of damage and cannot break the defense, which can be said to be unique.

For all magic contractors, the chef title must be obtained, and the coolie title is a good thing for all ages. No one will dislike running faster when escaping or chasing.

At this time, the Hall of Dark Origin finally became much free. Fang Senyan had previously obtained a method to check his contribution, so he deliberately waited until now and walked directly to the Eye of Sauron in the center of the hall. He saw that no one around was paying attention, and then asked the people in the team to surround him and put his hand on the crystal ball.

A sharp and evil voice suddenly sounded in Fang Senyan's mind:

"My powerful warrior, my dark equipment, my powerful secret medicine accumulated for thousands of years cannot be directly distributed to a waste, so you must pass my test.......Ah!!! A powerful soul! I like a powerful warrior like you, um? And such an extraordinary legendary experience... Um, very good, you have obtained my recognition and can distribute full contribution to you."

Fang Senyan suddenly understood Sauron's intention. He estimated that he would get a lot of contribution, but at this time, the contribution he got was not obtained through war, and this contribution could be exchanged for Sauron's warriors and secret treasures for real money. Therefore, Sauron wanted to test it himself to avoid wasting his efforts.

This is like a young man in his twenties being suddenly parachuted to a high position at the hall and bureau level. The direct leader will inevitably feel uneasy in his heart and must first interview him before daring to delegate power.

"Contractor No. 1018, due to the current camp reasons, I must regret to inform you that your servant: Mu Ge. Sunstrider and its related forces cannot be summoned and enter this world. Therefore, according to your various special experiences in the previous Lord of the Rings world, you will receive an initial additional contribution reward of 871 points."

"You have passed the baptism of the Eye of Sauron, and the additional contribution reward of 871 points will be fully distributed!"

"871 points!!" Fang Senyan's heart was also shocked. A terribly abnormal troll that required the Fellowship to deal with only needed an additional contribution of 380 points. Converted, this would almost allow him to have two trolls as soon as he came out!

Although two trolls do not seem to be helpful for the siege at present, according to Fang Senyan's speculation, there is absolutely no possibility that there will be no hand-to-hand combat. Then, such a degree of preferential treatment is really almost the same as having a powerful AMP land mech at the beginning of the Pandora world.

But at this time, extremely violent explosions suddenly sounded outside!!!

When Fang Senyan and the others rushed out, they saw seven or eight craters with a diameter of two or three meters around the camp. The craters were very shallow, but they were the kind of splash-type incendiary bombs that landed.

The area within a few hundred meters had become a sea of fire. Many orc shacks were ignited, and thick black smoke was emitting. There were also many orcs with fire on their bodies.

However, even in this case, the attacked orc sub-camps all appeared well-organized. The orcs on fire who were panicking and calling were quickly knocked down by the other orcs and splashed with water. As for the burning flames, several orc wizards grabbed a few toads as spell media. Soon, in their spellcasting that seemed like they were performing a puppet show, a large amount of viscous and stinky white foam appeared and quickly extinguished the flames...

More importantly, after realizing that the enemy possessed such ranged ability, Gothmog gave an order, and the entire camp, which was not very dense, expanded again and became sparser!

At this time, the participating contractors were all hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Soon, someone determined that this range of incendiary rocket attacks was launched using self-propelled rocket artillery vehicles. The cost of launching was estimated to be at least 2,000 universal points. However, it only directly killed six or seven orcs at the point of impact. If used during the siege, the harvest should be at least ten times, which would be a big loss!

This probing attack stopped quickly, but it definitely did not mean that peace had temporarily descended.

With the彤云 (tong yun, rosy clouds) stacked in the sky, the sky quickly dimmed at only about four o'clock in the afternoon.

The wind was blowing wildly on the plains. Fang Senyan wiped the sweat on his face comfortably in the wind and kicked the pile of wheelbarrows next to him. He shouted to the Uruk-hai officer in charge of counting, Hissko. Dog-ear:

"Hey! Idiot, count it clearly for me. There are three portions of stone and two portions of wood! Twenty-five contribution points. If you are short one point, I will skin you!"

The Uruk-hai, who was usually arrogant, showed an abnormal timidity when he heard Fang Senyan's rude threat, and said cowardly:

"Yes, sir."

Before the war, the most important thing was logistics. Whether it was the attacking side or the defending side, wood and stone were definitely not too much. Therefore, a high price of five contribution points was given for a portion of stone/firewood.

However, the defending Gondorians were not fools. The wood and stones near Minas Tirith, even the entire plain, had long been cleared. Therefore, one had to trek at least seven or eight kilometers to reach a place where there was an output of stones and wood.

Perhaps feeling that the number of people was insufficient, the Gondorians could only sit back and watch the orcs replenish strategic materials. However, the opposing contractors with a superior number of people definitely did not think so. Therefore, when the main plot forces on both sides had not yet taken the initiative to attack, a tragic small-scale battle had already begun in the distant Rosarnach Valley!

"We should be able to make a few more trips. The entire team's contribution can quickly break 1200 points."

Reef said excitedly:

With Hissko. Dog-ear's nod, twenty-five contribution points flowed into the team's account again. Compared with Fang Senyan's one-time acquisition of more than 800 contribution points, the contribution points obtained by the rest of the team were much less, adding up to only about 1,100 points.

However, although there is no way to kill people at the moment, it is not bad for the entire team to do hard labor together.

On the other hand, Aldaris couldn't help but said:

"There are also ten teams going to collect wood and stones. Eight teams have been attacked, and even the beast team that started later than us has been attacked once. I can't stand the smug look on those guys' faces... Why can't we pick up any leaks?"

Fang Senyan smiled gently and said:

"Although the beast team has just won a complete victory, the team has also lost two people. Of course, it doesn't matter to their team of twenty people. Perhaps the dead are still marginal figures, but this is just the beginning of the battle... More importantly, among the eight teams that were attacked, one team was wiped out! The number of contractors on the other side is several times ours, so we have to take a long-term view now. Don't be afraid that no one will kill. I'm just afraid that in the end, the enemy will not be killed cleanly. That's the most difficult thing."

Aldaris seemed to want to say something, but saw Zi looking at him coldly, and immediately closed his mouth.

Speaking of guys like Aldaris who are unruly and capable, there are not many team leaders who can use him well, but in the ace team, there are two people who can suppress him, and he is still willing to stay...

Fang Senyan signaled the four orc laborers to drag the giant wooden wheelbarrow that had become empty again, and then signaled to continue walking towards the Rosarnach Valley.

On the way through the camp, Fang Senyan saw the orcs in the shacks were lighting fires to cook - the so-called cooking was to throw everything that the orcs thought they could eat, such as chaff, bread, fur, meat, wild vegetables, leaves, rotten internal organs, dirty blood, etc. all into a big pot, and then make a pot of "fragrant and delicious" delicacies. Each orc was holding his own basin and drinking "su-lu-hu-lu".

Seeing this scene, Fang Senyan suddenly asked:

"Zi, Aldaris, have you completed your chef milestone?"

Zi and Aldaris both nodded. The team had specially given them two hours to split up and complete these milestones that were obviously given away. The group was talking while continuing to walk to the valley, looking very relaxed.

However, five minutes later,

On the road where the black smoke from the orc camp's cooking can be seen with a turn of the head!

Just four or five kilometers away from the orc camp,

The entire ace team was suddenly ambushed!!

Extremely violent ambush!!

The last time the ace team was ambushed was in the 2012 doomsday world. That battle was extremely tragic. Mogansha died! Reef, Zi, and Sanzai were almost all beaten into near death. If it weren't for luck, even total destruction would have been normal!

This time, they are facing a premeditated ambush again. What kind of response will they make??
