The Lord of the Rings Chapter 4
The Variags were quickly approaching the castle at Orthanc; this castle had grown much since the War of the Ring. It now had three rings surrounding the tall black obsidian tower in the middle. All the surrounding forts were taken by Variags and Rhudaur hill men, they were planning on mounting an attack on the fortress.
The 3000 strong Numenorean defense quickly prepared for the assault on Orthanc. They put ballistas all around the battlements, Archers were placed at the walls and swordsman to protect them. Early in the morning two days after the Numenoreans started preparing for the attack, the Variags showed up. The Variags launched volley after volley of stones and arrows into the fortress. Soldiers fell everywhere, some having their limbs ripped off by the stones, and others having arrows go through their eyes. Then came the main assault. Variags blew up the gate with suicide bombers. Then wave upon wave came through the gate. The Royal Knight Battalion was in the inner most ring defending it. A small group of Numernorean soldiers tried to defend against the onslaught, but they were quickly ripped apart. Then the Variags reached the second ring where they met stronger resistance, suddenly the Arnorians launched incendiary grenades into the ranks of the ranks of the Variags, the flames spread like wildfire throughout the ranks of the Variags. About 300 were wounded by the fire and another 600 killed by the flames. The Variags made quick work of the second ring defenders. Finally the Arnor Royal Knight Battalion swept through the ranks of the Variags before they encountered Karon, all soldiers stopped.
"This is the best that the great Kingdom of Arnor has to offer me, this will be easier than I thought." Karon muttered. He then set to work killing off each one mercilessly, finally the Royal Battalion surrendered Orthanc to him. Yet, he still ordered the execution of all the survivors. The survivors were hung then crucified.
"Watch out Aravast, I'm coming for you."
"Hiccup, I think we should go ack to Burk for help." Astrid suggested, "With our dragons, we'll be able to help these people, maybe we might even find a nice home here, you know that Burk is overcrowded and if sickness breaks out it will be all over the island."
"I know, I know, but will the citizens want to leave. But we have to do something. I'll go speak to Aravast." Hiccup said, Astrid pulled him into a long kiss.
"King Aravast, I believe that Astrid and I are ready to go back to Burk for help. What's wrong?"
" The Variags have entered Arnor, they took one of our castles, Orthanc, Karon was there every soldier died." He said slowly.
"I'm going to leave right away so that I can bring reinforcements." Hiccup said
"Go, please help us!"
"Citizens of Burk, there is a nation on the edge of the Northwestern Sea called Arnor, they need our help desperately, please don your armor and bring your dragons! Please, I'm begging you!" Hiccup called to the village.
"You don't need to beg, grab your armor villagers, let's go!" Shouted one villager.
The army of Vikings from Burk wasn't huge, but it was still very large, they set off with Hiccup to head to Arnor. When they got there, Aravast was amazed.
"This is amazing, I've never seen so many dragons before now. You really want to help, do you?" Aravast said.
"Yes, I do." Hiccup responded.
