A/N hey guys what's up, I am here posting my new chapter of Lord of the Rings Uprising.
Mordu walked down the hallway, he was in the Arnorian fort in Rhudaur that was taken over. He had been part of the attack force, he was never a violent hill-men, he preferred the quiet life. There was one soldier who was trying to protect his family, Moran hesitated, then a berserker killed everyone. It was the worst part of his life. As he walked, he saw lingering corpses that the hill-men hadn't bothered to move.
"SOLDIER! Get a move on, were shipping out to go besiege Amon-Sul, there sending the worst of the worst to test out the defenses, its better than it used to be, also the Arnorians have guns, so watch out." An officer yelled
"Yes, sir"
"Commander Carthaen, we have word that the rebels are going to attack Amon-Sul, also there has been some stirring in Khand." A messenger announced.
"Koran is at work here, push up the defenses three-fold at Amon-Sul. Get me the head of the Mounted Sergeants Battalion." Carthaen replied
"It will be done."
"You wished to see me Commander." Arathorn said
"Yes, I want you to take a position up at the hill surrounding Amon-Sul. There's going to be a siege." Carthaen told him. Once Arathorn left, Carthaen went down to the throne room where King Aravast remained.
"My liege, I have sent a detachment of cavalry to relieve the defenders. Also, there has been some word of rebellion in Khand, deep in the Khand mountains. I fear Karon is coming. So far I'm the only one who knows this, but there is a stirring in the North Sea, I traveled up there to see some old friends, I went fishing, I went too far and I saw a dragon, it had armor on and there were several ships filled with men. I went in for a closer view and I saw the dragons burning down a village while the people were there. Then I heard, "For Drago Bludfist", Carthaen reported
"I want you to send scouting parties to the North Sea, I want eyes up there 24/7(I don't exactly know the lord of the rings time schedule, so I just used the one I use.) Tell them whatever they do, don't engage." Aravast told Carthaen
"Yes, my liege"
The defenders of Amon-Sul had prepared for the hill-men coming from the east, they had doubled defenses and made sure the Arnor Royal Knight Battalion was included in the garrison, these soldiers were the best soldiers and were only in the most important settlements. They had stronger armor than the average soldier, they were taller, and they had fully metal plated armor pads.
"Launch the catapults!"
Flaming munitions and huge boulders flew from the attacker's catapults, they hit the walls with such gravity that they went straight through the walls killing or maiming all defenders that got hit by the flaming missiles. The Arnorians, in retaliation, shot there rifles killing any who got hit, thus thinning the ranks of archers, spearmen, and gunners of Rhudaur.
"get the battering ram up there"
The rebels brought up two battering rams in resemblance to Grond, just not as big. They brought them up to the stone gate. The defenders poured oil on them but new rebels just replaced the dead ones. Then finally, the Arnor Royal Knight Battalion came forth, they went to the battering rams, mercilessly chopping off the rebels' heads, there was so much blood, several wounded rebels went blind from everything flying around. The rebels sent their famous Black Guard, consisting of three hundred well trained berserkers, they were always the troops sent in last to take care of what was left, but they really needed them out there.
The Black Guard didn't stand a chance, they were instantly cut down by their much better trained rivals. Limbs were all over the floor, only twenty-three royal knights had been killed or mortall wounded in the skirmish, the rebels then began to retreat seeing that their best unit was just cut down in minutes; there was then a horn, two hundred sergeants from the Mounted Seargent's Battalion came and ran through the rebel's lines, four thousand hill-men died or were injured that day, roughly two hundred Arnorians died or were injured; three hundred hill-men were taking prisoners.
Today was a great major victory for the Arnorians defenders. They had won against a rebel force nearly three times their size. This was a day to celebrate.
