Game In Middle Earth - Chapter 43.

On the esplanade in front of Aldarion, Adrin’s troops formed and they prepared to attack.

As Aldarion had thought, they did not attack with everything from the beginning and only a small part of the troops advanced towards the battle fronts. The rest of the soldiers remained in the rear prepared, waiting for the exact moment to leap on the army of the alliance.

When Aldarion saw the little army beginning the attack, he was in the stockade next to Duihir and Khm. The first would always be with him to protect him at any time, the veteran dunedain did not want to lose a leader again. While, the young dwarf captain had to be next to him to receive orders from Aldarion at any time.

While Aldarion saw how Adrin’s troops were approaching his death trap, he was delighted by the future result inside him. The enemy army approached the first mark and Aldarion, relaxedly, ordered his men to prepare to start firing arrows at the enemy.

His men raised their bows and they placed the arrows. Aldarion also prepared to fire, and the moment the enemy surpassed the first mark, he ordered to fire at will all his rangers, while he also fired.

Quickly, the arrows began to fall on the troops of Adrin and, even though more prepared than the first day, knowing what were the defenses of the allied army, many soldiers began to fall.

The rangers were very lethal, as long as they could aim, they would hit the target.

In the other two flanks, the battle was developing more or less the same as the first day. The elves of Feladrias were massacring the enemy troops with their arrows, while the dwarf iron phalanx stood firm against the enemy. Both the catapults and the ballistars had started firing as well, causing havoc among the enemy lines.

In the muddy terrain, Adrin’s troops advanced very slowly and they ended up very tired. Some soldiers slipped and fell to the ground, obstructing the other soldiers around them.

One soldier in particular, who had fought in the first battle and had managed to survive, slipped and fell at that moment. His companions almost ran over him and trampled him, but they fell right behind him and this saved him, the rest of the soldiers began to surround the bulk of soldiers on the ground.

‘Damn mud!’ – He cursed inside. Disoriented he got to his feet as best he could, still a little sore from the fall and he continued to advance across the muddy ground, with the wooden shield placed over his head to avoid being pierced by an arrow.

The soldier did not notice the difference between the mud of the first day and that day, much less the smell that it gave off. The mud they were moving through was very dark compared to the first day, with black tones.

The soldiers continued running and advancing despite their difficulties.
for visiting.

“Start the first phase of the Khm plan!” – When Aldarion saw that the enemy troops were beginning to approach the pit, Aldarion gave him the Khm order, of course, continuing to shoot arrows at any time.

Upon receiving the order of Aldarion, the young dwarf captain separated from him and went in search of a group of subordinates.

“Quick, set fire to the tents and start making noise. You make a lot of noise!” – When he found them, he started throwing orders at everyone while he also lit some fire.

Quickly, plumes of smoke began to rise in the camp on the northern flank. In addition, shouts and combat sounds were also heard.

The captains of Adrin’s army, seeing the smoke in the air, believed that the force sent the previous day through the forest had managed to reach through the forest, and attack from behind the camp on the northern flank.

“Quick, move forward! Slaughter those damn cockroaches who dare to resist the great Adrinu!” – Quickly, the troops in the rear began to advance by forced march. Half of the troops in the rear moved towards the flank of Aldarion, thinking that the flank was very weakened by the surprise attack, and the other half was to reinforce the attack on the other two flanks. They had to press on the other two fronts, otherwise they could send reinforcements to the weakened right flank.

The first wave had begun to reach the pit thanks to the fact that arrows were not raining. The first soldiers to arrive suddenly stood still, because they saw how the pit and the stakes were completely covered with a black liquid.

“Black and this smell…” – A soldier who stopped began to say, thinking what could be.

“Oil!” – Shouted surprised another soldier a few meters from the previous one.

When the other soldiers listened to him, everyone began to realize the danger that oil implied. Everyone wanted to turn around, but it was too late. The bulk of the army was already behind them and they could not flee against the tide of soldiers.

“We can not retire boys! The best we can do is go straight ahead and cross the pit quickly! The enemy is distracted while they fight with our allies! If we manage to get over the stockade, we will not have to fear the fire!” – An officer who was nearby, seeing that they could not retreat, elaborated the best plan that could occur to him.

It must be said that the officer was not wrong, it was not a bad plan. That, it was clear, if as he thought, the troops were distracted fighting inside the camp.

“Come on, we’re getting it! Almost ther…!” – By the time the first men began to climb the palisade, the officer, who was among them, was coming to the edge of it, and, thinking that he had already gotten rid of the worst, he began to cheer the soldiers. But… could not be more wrong, because he could not even finish the last sentence, when the first thing he saw when he reached the palisade was a large group of brave dwarves ready to fight.

From among dwarves, one approached the officer and stuck his ax in his chest. – ‘Are not you supposed to be in chaos? Where are our men?’ – The officer could not help asking those questions while he was bleeding to death on the ground.

More and more Adrin soldiers began to reach the top of the palisade, and Khm, who had just killed the first soldier who appeared, gave the dwarf war cry and his men began to kill the soldiers managed to climb the stockade.

Shortly after, Khm managed to get closer to see how the enemy’s rearguard troops were perfectly positioned to fall into the trap, so he ordered two trusted dwarves, who were next to him, to operate it.

Moments later, the pit began to burn, setting fire to all the soldiers who were in it, but the fire did not stop there and continued to the mud, where the surprised and frightened troops tried to flee.

While the troops ran for their lives, suddenly explosions of explosions, followed by shock waves, began to happen throughout the field of battle.
