Chapter 1

The Attack on Rhuin's Mountain Fortress.

Eleven years have passed since Steele Black was crown high king over all Middle Earth and under his reign peace have insure across the region. However, during those years Harad and Rhuin both fell into civil war and would've continue to fight and destroy one another if King Black didn't send Marshall Lancelot and 12 thousand men to broker a truce. Peace insure in both kingdoms Marshall Lancelot remain with a force of Dalesmen and Silvan Elves which number close to 6,000 the lands of Rhuin and Harad are ruled by stewards and the Marshall is there to help keep the peace but let the steward rule their subjects they all swore an oath to High King Black. However, during those 11 years the Orcs have been growing stronger and now the Spawn of Sauron is sending his chief lieutenant the Voice of Sauron to attack and take Rhuin's Mountain Fortress which Harad fell to take numerous times along with the rebels during their civil war.

The Voice of Sauron knows the Mountain fortress would be a perfect place to continue to breed an Orc army and to make weapons for the coming war against the peoples of Middle-Earth. His troops consist of Orc Band, Orc Raiders, Orc Maulers, Uruk Halberds, Uruks, Sauron's Will, Numendorian Shield Guard, Uruk Bodyguards, Temple Berserkers, Mountain trolls, Morgul Chosen, Olog-Hai. Uruk Archers, Numendorian Shadowguard, Orc Fellers, Orc Marauders, Orc Halberd, Witch-Realm Scourge Raiders, Guardians of Carn Dum, Gundabad Guard, Witch-Realm Pike-men, Black Uruks of the Mountains, Goblin Band, Witch-Realm Hammerguard, Snow trolls, Witch Realm Black Guard, Trolls of Gundabad, Snaga archers, and Witchers. The commander of the Mountain Fortress only has 3,500 men while the Voice of Sauron is bringing 10,000 Orcs with twenty trolls to take the fortress/mine. The Voice of Sauron forces consist of orcs which were from Mordor, and Gundabad which of course most of the Spawn of Sauron units are originally from including those from the Misty Mountains. The forces of evil marc for 8 days before the mountain comes into view the commander of the fortress has no idea what's coming until it's too late. His forces consist of Clan Warriors, Clan Guard, Loke-Gramp-Rim, Loke-Scion Rim, Varig Warriors, Loke-Flag-Rim, Brotherhood of the Axe, Dragon's Wrath Guildsmen, Dismount Varigs, Loke-Near Rim, Shadowhunters, and 2 ballista and catapult to defend the fortress/mine. The commander knows they'll attack from the two gates he sends his only cavalry force to get help but they'll arrive too late to save the units inside. On one side, he places his pike men in front of the gate with swordsmen and archers behind he places a ballista further back protected by spears and some more archers and one unit of Loke-Flag Rim. On the other side, basically the same thing. The gates are breech by a battering ram and Orc band, raiders, fellers, Marauders, Halberds charge for the gate closely followed by Morgul Chosen and Temple Berserkers on one side and on the other Black Uruks of the Mountains, and Witch-Realm Hammer Guard. Several Mountain trolls and Snow Trolls are sent in as well. Rhunic Archers attempt to help but get a lot of friendly fire so their commander orders them to hold fire and use them when there are more enemies through the gates. They hold the gate for 5 minutes and began to fall back. As they fallback Rhunic archers unleash a hell storm of lead a ballista fires as well adding more death. Clan Warriors and Clan Guard charge in trying to buy time for the others tor retreat and to give their archers time to rack up kills. However, 12 Olog-Hai are sent in. they help the orcs to break through. After they fell back from the gate the Orcs take the first area from Rhuin at least on one side. It hard fought for the troops of Rhuin. Some of the Orc units are broken/routed but others refuse to break. Many Orcs have been slain but they keep coming. Rhuin is forced to retreat on all fronts. More orcs continue to push into the fortress. Archers continue to rack up kills but the Orcs are advancing onto them soon they'll be forced to retreat. Several Uruks rush one group of Loke-Near Rim archers they get off 3 volleys before they must fight in melee. A group of Witch-Realm Black Guard attacks them too causing them to fallback. The mountain fortress is falling to the Spawn of Sauron. A catapult gets off several volleys scoring several hits the ballista the same before the orcs overrun them and the troops trying to defend the artillery. Only a few holdouts of Rhuin are left. The Spawn of Sauron gave orders for none to be spared. The orcs surround the commander and his bodyguards and after a good struggle they finally slay commander and his bodyguards are killed along with his second in command. The fortress falls to the enemy. The battle ends just 60 minutes after it began. The bodies of the dead Rhuin soldiers are being gone through and the orcs are chowing down on their bodies. The weapons of the dead are gathered which will be use to armed the Spawn of Sauron's orcs. The Voice of Sauron chooses one of the few remaining Black Numendorians who pledge their allegiance to the Spawn of Sauron to command the fortress while he take majority of the new units back to join his master. However, before the Voice of Sauron could leave a force of 500 Uruks arrive to help reinforce along with some Temple Inquisdors, and Warg Riders. They informed the Voice of Sauron that a Rhuin Cavalry unit warn a nearby Rhuin and Harad stronghold and they have sent troops to reclaim the mountain.
