Chapter 1 A Good Show Begins

Fang Senyan smiled and said:

"That's why taking a step back leads to a broader horizon. If we were to compete for Éomer, it would be a three-way battle, resulting in needless internal friction. That Éomer is unfathomable and we might not be able to kill him. Even if we could, we might not be able to snatch the loot. Aziz, let's go rest for five minutes first, then focus on checking on our commander, Gríma. I just hope his actions aren't as ugly as his face.”

At this time, because of Éomer's predicament, the situation on the battlefield nearby had been stirred up by him. He seemed to have become the core of a huge whirlpool, and his prestige among the Rohan cavalry was second only to the King. So, without a doubt, many elite members of the army had rushed over.

Increased pressure on that side naturally meant reduced pressure for Fang Senyan and his team. Therefore, it wasn't too difficult for everyone to reunite. After everyone gathered, the Blue-Ray Team and the Maritime Alliance began to hurl insults and accusations at each other, while their subordinates continued to attack without stopping. Fortunately, both sides were still able to maintain some restraint and didn't engage in mutual attacks.

However, after Fang Senyan and his team rested for five minutes according to their original plan, the situation facing the Blue-Ray Team and the Maritime Alliance became very bad. Because when Éomer grasped Guthwine, although his mobility was greatly reduced due to the loss of his horse, that intimidating aura, like a wounded beast, was completely unleashed! He seemed ready to tear people apart and devour them!

The first to suffer was the Maritime Alliance. Beastmaster Laxiri had spoken too confidently earlier, and hadn't anticipated that Éomer plus Guthwine would be so deadly. He persisted for a dozen seconds, but Éomer seized the opportunity and directly killed his pet, Heber, on the spot.

At this time, it was impossible for the people around him to sit idly by and watch Laxiri be killed, so the Maritime Alliance naturally rushed to help. In the chaos, the people from the Blue-Ray Team weren't pushovers either. They fiercely attacked Éomer, drawing him over. Just when those guys from the Blue-Ray Team were cheering about the fat meat that had run back to their mouths, Jakes dispatched his four MTs to rush up and hold the line...

Then,

Then they realized they couldn't hold.

But it didn't matter. Jakes never expected them to hold on their own. Otherwise, what would Fang Senyan and his team do? So, he had the four of them take turns holding the line. But at this moment, he noticed something: the first MT who rushed up couldn't retreat at all! Because none of the people he had chosen possessed the special ability of an MT to save their teammates: a resurrection skill!

With just a moment's hesitation, two of Jakes's four MTs died, and the remaining two were already terrified. Then they could only rely on a human wave and summons to hold the line. But this was a chaotic battlefield, which would lead to bad consequences. The more people who besieged Éomer, the lighter the resistance faced by the Rohan cavalry in other areas, and they would have more opportunities to brutally kill the Orc legions.

More importantly, Éomer was originally a banner on the battlefield, the focus of the soldiers' attention at all times. If he was besieged by a few people, the soldiers would feel that with his bravery, it would only take a matter of seconds to deal with them, and they would bravely fight the enemy. However, if he was besieged by dozens or hundreds of people, then the soldiers would definitely rush to save their lord.

So, there were advantages to having fewer people, and disadvantages to having more. Even if the Blue-Ray Team and the Maritime Alliance joined forces to attack Éomer at this time, the pressure they faced would definitely not be less than what Fang Senyan and his team would have faced if they had attacked Éomer together!

*

Taking advantage of the changing situation on the battlefield, Fang Senyan and his team had finished their rest. They only defended and didn't attack, crossing most of the battlefield to reach Gríma's location. At this time, the entire battlefield had become a mess. The Rohan cavalry's charge had indeed achieved amazing results, causing great damage to the Orcs. However, the Ogres that the Contractors had exchanged could stop the cavalry's charge. Only half of the forces were able to completely break through the Orc legions.

After King Théoden gathered this half of the cavalry and charged into the formation again, of the entire 8,000-strong army, King Théoden was only able to gather less than 500 people. It wasn't that the rest had all died in battle, but rather that they had lost that powerful impact force in the process of breaking through and had fallen into the melee. However, generals continued to break through the Orc formation, reorganize the troops around them, and then have several hundred people in a wedge formation charge back into the Orc formation.

Seizing this opportunity, the Contractors in Minas Tirith also couldn't bear the loneliness and came out of the city to participate in the melee. So, at this time, looking down from the sky, the entire huge battlefield was like a pot of boiling porridge, and it was even stirred a few times. However, with the continuous emergence of Rohan generals organizing clustered charges, it was not difficult to see that the overall situation was still rapidly tilting towards the Rohan cavalry, and the collapse of the entire Orc legion was only a matter of time.

King Théoden's royal guards were like a sharp knife, wantonly cutting through the formation, until they, under Zeus's deliberate guidance, collided with Gríma and his surrounding Strong Orc legion.

At this time, it could be seen that Zeus and the others were besieging a Rohan general wearing the Evenstar Horn. Zeus still had some ability. In Fang Senyan's opinion, he was much more reliable than that Beastmaster MT. His gravity suppression awakening skill had been greatly improved, and he had a good understanding of himself, knowing where the limit of his abilities lay, and would not choose targets that were too high.

However, Zeus's biggest weakness was that he was too soft-hearted and trusted Metal Mentor Froya too much. Like this time, the idea of using Gríma was mainly Froya's idea. As for Aziz's reaction, Zeus first didn't expect it to be so intense. Second, he really felt that his ability was about to be unable to suppress this unruly guy. And there were faint rumors of Aziz colluding with people from outside the team, so at this critical moment, he hardened his heart.

Aziz was a sharp blade with all its edge exposed and no handle. To use him, one must first weigh whether one would be cut. And with Fang Senyan as a shining example, it was no wonder that Aziz didn't think much of Zeus.

At this time, those who could fight King Rohan's Royal Guards to a draw were naturally the Strong Orc legion around Gríma, as well as the assistance of the seven Nazgûl. Fang Senyan and his team had just arrived at the battlefield when they were attacked by a dozen Royal Guards in golden armor.

However, Fang Senyan and his team maintained an attitude of observation at this time, only defending and not attacking. These dozen or so Royal Guards attacked for a while under Reef's heart-wrenching roar and Fang Senyan's double effect of poison gas clouds, or rather, double nausea, and then dispersed. At this time, Kurutguo also recovered some of his abilities and began to quickly build stone walls. This thing was the best cover to prevent small-scale cavalry charges.

After observing the situation on the battlefield for a while, Fang Senyan suddenly said:

"Zeus's target... I know, it's that Hobbit!"

Zi, who knew Zeus relatively well, couldn't help but ask in surprise:

"Where did you see that? I didn't notice any clues?"

Fang Senyan smiled:

"I didn't see it from Zeus's arrangement, but rather from observing the people on the battlefield. On this battlefield, the weakest plot character is the member of the Fellowship of the Ring: Meriadoc Brandybuck. As a Hobbit who is not good at fighting, the difficulty of killing him is the lowest. More importantly, this guy will definitely have a powerful legendary weapon: the sword of the Western royal family!"

"If the plot develops normally, when Éowyn is about to be killed by the Witch-king, Merry uses this sword to stab the Witch-king's knee ligaments, causing the Witch-king to fall to the ground. Éowyn took the opportunity to stab between the Witch-king's crown and cloak, destroying the Witch-king! Although this sword was also corroded by the evil power of the Witch-king of Angmar, this has not happened yet. So, Meriadoc Brandybuck can be said to be the most cost-effective character.”

"But in the original plot, the relationship between Princess Éowyn and Meriadoc Brandybuck is the best. Would she sit idly by and watch all this happen?" Zi couldn't help but ask.

Fang Senyan took a deep look at Aziz and smiled:

"This depends on how much damage our Aziz has caused to the Princess."

Aziz said coldly:

"Ten hours, at least ten hours she can only exert half of her combat power."

Fang Senyan shrugged at Zi, then smiled:

"Metal Mentor's grasp of people's hearts is also getting deeper and deeper. If I guess correctly, Aziz's behavior of leaving the team to snipe Éowyn alone should also be within her expectations. In this way, the biggest obstacle to hunting Meriadoc Brandybuck is cleared. The negative effects of Aziz leaving the team are fully reduced to the minimum. After obtaining the sword of the Western royal family, with the lethality brought by this weapon, the loss caused by Aziz's departure can be compensated, and the hunting plan can continue to be carried out, hunting higher-level enemies."
