3. Battle Again
Gothmog was surprised to see more warriors coming to Gondor's aid. They were strange warriors: They wore no real armour, only their shields and helmets protected them, and every one of them wore a crimson cloak.
Now they were marching towards the Orcs in a disciplined battle formation.
Then they stopped and positioned their shields in front of them, their spears above them.
With an angry scream Gothmog gave the sign to attack these strange newcomers. If they had a death wish, who was he to deny them? What could a mere 300 do against Mordor's vast armies?
---
The dark fighters charged the Spartans who stood their ground.
"Push!"
With their shield they pushed the foremost enemies away and killed them with their spears. On Leonidas' command, the Spartans spread and advanced.
With spear, shield and sword they fought. They showed no mercy, they showed no hesitation. They were Spartans. They were born to fight on the battlefield.
The Spartans fought bravely, but the number of the enemy was very great and there was not much hope for victory.
The Spartans were pressed upon hard and gave their best, taking many Orcs and Haradrim down.
Some of Leonidas warriors fell, but their deaths only seemed to make the rest of the 300 fight harder.
Just when Leonidas thought the battle lost, he could hear clear horns ringing over the battlefield. A fresh breeze came out of the south and he could see a great banner being unfurled upon a nearing ship. A silver tree with seven stars and a crown upon a black field. He did not know what this banner meant, but the defenders of the city rejoiced at seeing the standard, therefore he deduced that it could not mean anything bad.
"Spartans!"
Upon his command the hoplites renewed their effort and threw themselves into battle with newfound vigour.
Between the new attack from the south, the defenders of the city and the Spartans, the armies of Mordor didn't stand a chance.
One by one the Orcs fell victim to the Spartan spears or turned and fled.
Finally, Leonidas gave the sign to stop and the warriors fell into position behind him.
The king stood tall and proud in front of his men and waited for the other leaders to approach them.
