Chapter 1 A Hunter's Prey

There were very few prey that escaped Aziz's sights.

Especially when this prey was afflicted by the gaze of Mother Earth, causing every step, even on solid ground, to feel like wading through a swamp?

Not to mention, this prey had already suffered a round of focused attacks.

Three cold bullets flashed, chasing closely. They seemed unremarkable, lacking any magical enhancements, but possessed two key features: incredible power and astonishing speed.

DH wore a helpless, bitter smile. The first bullet had already sent him flying, the second followed closely, bringing him to the brink of death, and the third directly blew him into a cloud of blood mist!

Aziz, having struck successfully, showed no emotion on his cold face, as if carved from granite. In his heart, this was just one of the many prey he had hunted, nothing more, nothing less. No extra joy to be found.

After posting the loot in the team channel, he dropped it in the team shared space and vanished into thin air, never to be caught by anyone.

DH dropped a silver plot cloak: the Malfoy Family's Invisibility Cloak. It didn't increase any basic attributes or attack power, but could be equipped at any time.

The description of the cloak read: Draco Malfoy finally discovered the secret of Harry Potter's Invisibility Cloak, so he blamed all his failures on it. At his strong request, his father found him an Invisibility Cloak that was in no way inferior to Harry's.

Use: Makes you invisible, immune to reconnaissance spells, and unable to be targeted by long-range attacks. However, your movement speed is reduced by 3%, and your detection range is reduced by 3%, lasting until you leave the invisible state.

DH's death was like the first domino falling, triggering a violent chain reaction within the mixed team. The two tanks' powerful incursions and disruptions had completely shattered their remaining confidence. When they faced the frenzied attacks of the dark side contractors head-on, the clear difference in strength between the two sides crushed their morale, causing them to flee in droves. The remaining people pursued and killed, reaping great rewards.

Fang Senyan and Reef were unwilling to give up. They had originally planned to take advantage of the situation to pursue the retreating forces and see if they could strike straight at their headquarters! However, Jazz was a steady person after all. Although he had sent out six or seven tenths of his contractors, he had exchanged for an astonishing number of archers.

At this time, they were already frightened birds, and they knew that Fang Senyan was an extremely abnormal guy, so as soon as they got close, they immediately unleashed a barrage of arrows. Who knew that Fang Senyan, who was usually good at assessing the situation, would actually go against the norm and lead the Ace Team in a fierce attack. They only retreated after ten minutes, and then came back with another wave of attacks. Fortunately, Jazz didn't relax at all, and managed to hold on safely.

Looking at the Ace Team's behavior, Jax snorted coldly and said:

"This sailor isn't much, is he? Just a brave fool! It's obvious that Jazz was prepared, and all kinds of backup plans haven't been used. Relying on the summoned archers can make him return in defeat, but this guy still insists on charging to his death. I think he's just stubborn."

Not only Jax, but even Percywen and Laxili felt a little surprised:

"This sailor's head is broken. Why waste the team's combat power at this time?? Are Aziz and that Reef also messing around with him??! We're under so much pressure here. If you have the ability, come and help us share some of the burden. Why are these Rohan cavalry so tough?"

As the Ace Team retreated, the magnificent counterattack came to an end. Almost all the contractors were once again engaged in a bitter battle with the Rohan cavalry. The Ace Team quietly re-entered the battlefield and began to fight, but the other contractors looked at them with a mixture of their previous scrutiny and a bit of awe... This was also natural.

No one who could enter this battlefield was a fool. No matter who it was, anyone who could fearlessly charge into the enemy formation under those circumstances and throw it into chaos deserved such a look! Although the battlefield was cruel at this time, it was like a great wave washing away the sand. It couldn't be said that Fang Senyan and Reef were the strongest tanks, but! It was almost certain that the two tanks who could watch out for each other and share life and death were probably only them! It was too difficult to find such a combination again. What was even more closely related was that, seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, no one dared to guarantee that they wouldn't encounter danger, and it was hard to say that there wouldn't be a time when they would need Reef's Holy Grip to save their lives in the future if they had a good relationship now.

Seeing that the battle was becoming more and more heated, casualties began to appear. Although the members of the Dark Alliance were trying their best to protect Gothmog and the Witch-king of Angmar, of course, they did protect them, but... Princess Éowyn finally began to erupt!! At this time, they realized that the potential for such an eruption of plot characters was like a period, even if it didn't come on Monday or Tuesday, it would come on Friday or Saturday. It could only be delayed, but it couldn't be suppressed!

Therefore, although the Witch-king of Angmar was safe and sound, two more Ringwraiths became Princess Éowyn's victims. They died very miserably, their armor all over their bodies twisted and deformed as if it were made of paper, as if it had been kneaded by an invisible hand, and finally black air blew out from the armor, and the armor was kneaded into a ball of scrap iron the size of a pumpkin.

So the result of everyone's careful efforts was one for two.

The Witch-king of Angmar traded for two Ringwraiths. Strictly speaking, the Witch-king of Angmar's strength was only worth at most one and a half Ringwraiths, so in reality this deal was a loss. More importantly, in the process of killing the two Ringwraiths, King Théoden of Rohan, who would have died in the hands of the Witch-king of Angmar, did not die, but was only disabled in both legs and was estimated to be unable to fight.

However, whether or not Théoden died had a huge impact on the morale of the Rohan cavalry. If Théoden was killed and Princess Éowyn was also unconscious, the morale of these knights would probably drop by half, but now that Théoden was alive and the princess was still alive, the morale would continue to rise instead!

However, in the midst of this epic and exhilarating battle, no one noticed that Fang Senyan had stopped and first looked at Reef, and then at Zi. There was a silence in his eyes like a farewell, but there was a provocation-like unruliness, and then he slowly disappeared into the crowd, leaving only a few lingering words:

"During the recent charge against the walls of Minas Tirith, my Hedgehog Milestone has been completed, so, calculating the time, it's almost time to execute the plan."

"After I leave, you must accumulate enough contribution points as soon as possible, and everything will be carried out according to our previously agreed plan. Remember to prioritize exchanging for those designated props."

"Although my task this time is arduous, the threat to me personally is not very great, but you must remember to take care of yourselves!!"

"..."

Thirty seconds later, Blue Light Team leader Jax suddenly received news, and he was immediately shocked:

"What? That Fang Senyan suddenly disappeared on the battlefield? Did he leave the team or was he killed?"

"He disappeared suddenly. One second he was still standing next to Reef chatting, and the next second he evaporated directly into the air."

"How could this happen?? What is this idiot doing disappearing now? Damn it, our war elephant reinforcements are coming soon, right? Could this guy have gotten the news and gone to intercept the reinforcements? By the way, where are the other members of their team?"

"Apart from Aziz, who is elusive and unable to be located, everyone else is there. The latest news is that although one of the ogres exchanged by the Ace Team died in battle, the remaining two have advanced. One can beat the war drums, increasing the combat power of friendly forces while weakening the combat power of opponents. The other has become a ranged attacking axe thrower, with a range no weaker than archers, and can throw two weapons at a time, with extremely powerful power."

"He's the only one who left the team... then ignore it. A monk can run away, but the temple can't! Keep an eye on the other members of the Ace Team. I estimate that the mammoth war elephant legion reinforcements from the south should be arriving soon. Whether or not we can break through Minas Tirith will depend on the upcoming battle."

*

Fang Senyan had indeed left the battlefield at this time, and he was using the "Malfoy Family's Invisibility Cloak" dropped by DH, so he left so silently and was good at disguise.

However, this thing was just the icing on the cake. With it, Fang Senyan could walk more easily. Without it, Fang Senyan's plan would not fail.

The direction Fang Senyan was heading was exactly the opposite of the battlefield. His destination was the longest river in Middle-earth! Anduin!

And Fang Senyan's target was the last wave of reinforcements sent by the Dark Lord - the combined fleet of the Umbar Corsairs!!

This fleet included about 5 large ships and countless small ships. These pirates used ancient sailing ships and sloops with large triangular sails. Because they had to attack the port city of Pelargir in Lebennin first, they arrived the latest.

However, their ending was the most tragic. When they were advancing along the Anduin River, they unfortunately ran into the protagonist Aragorn. They laughed triumphantly at the trio, and then the army of the dead swarmed up and destroyed them, and used their ships to get to Minas Tirith more quickly.
