Game In Middle Earth - Chapter 44.

While all this was happening, Aldarion had retired, along with his entourage of thirty rangers, to the edge of the forest, where their horses waited for them, watched over by a group of dwarves so they would not escape, and went to the other side of the forest.

This, they did from the moment they left the palisade, they did not even participate in the act of fighting in the camp. The enemy could not know that they had disappeared.

On the other side of the forest, Aldarion and his entourage did not show up, waiting on the edge just inside him.

From that position, Aldarion could observe the evolution of the entire battlefield. And also, he could see the enemy camp, which was his main objective on that day.

While Aldarion watched and waited for the exact moment to launch the attack order, his men were on high alert, concentrating and observing their surroundings, waiting for their captain’s order to initiate the plan.

Duihir had ordered, secretly for Aldarion, five dunedain of confidence that they were on a high alert, because they were going to enter the heart of the enemy army and Aldarion was going to be in such danger, that he did not think he could protect it. alone, so he asked for their collaboration.

Of course, dunedains accepted the order without question, indeed, for them it was a great honor to be the shield of their captain, and they were willing to give their lives for him.

This, made Duihir feel proud of them. In particular, these five dunedain were his disciples, so he wanted them as sons, so he trusted them so much.

‘Go home alive’. – He also cared a lot for them and their lives, which led him to think those words in the form of a request, but he did not dare to show his feelings. They were already accomplished warriors, but today’s battle would be very dangerous and the chances of dying were very high.

“In formation, prepare”. – Suddenly, Aldarion, who was still watching the battlefield, hurried to say.

That was the exact moment when Khm set the first fire in the pit, and the enemy soldiers began to burn. The fire also began to spread through the mud, and more enemy soldiers began to burn. Suddenly, what seemed like a clear victory by Adrin’s troops, turned out to be the opposite.

Adrin’s troops began to break their formations and to run in disarray to save their skin. Many of these soldiers were on fire. Aldarion compared the scene he had with himself to the memory he had in his head as a child and set fire to an anthill. Where the ants began to leave the anthill in all directions as they burned.

“BOOM!” – Suddenly, the sound of a large explosion sounded across the battlefield. Next, several explosions followed one another across the field.

If the captains of Adrin had the hope of regrouping their troops in the army’s rear, this made them lose even the last bit of hope they had left. Well, seeing their comrades die so cruelly, the troops were already completely scared, but seeing the force with which those explosions killed their comrades, finished breaking them and all of them began to flee in terror.

“Magic! They have a magician with them! Run for your lives!” – It is not known when, but a soldier started screaming and everyone started to run. Of course, the army of the alliance was not using magic, much less had a magician.

What the army of the alliance did was to spray the battlefield in oil to set it on fire and, to finish off the move, they buried barrels of oil throughout the battlefield, which would generate explosions when they set fire. All this, of course, was the idea of Aldarion who knew about the oil, used by dwarves, by Khm

The truth was, these explosions were not very big and did not do much damage, but they made a great noise and that scared even more Adrin’s troops.

The captains had no way to make the soldiers pay attention to them, and, if that was not enough, they did not want to be there themselves. They had seen how the soldiers closest to the explosions lost body parts, and how the rest of them had burns all over their bodies. To this you could add that there were cries of soldiers dying burned all over the battlefield. Those screams were terrifying, therefore, they also started to flee.

On the other hand, at the edge of the forest, after the first explosion, the horses of dunedains were frightened by the rumble, so they had to stop and reassure them.

“Listen to me men from the west!” – With his horse still nervous, Aldarion looked at his men and he called his men to form. – “Since we put the first foot on the road to Belegost a few days ago, we all started a path to carry out our revenge”. – When he finished this prayer, he paused and looked at each of the thirty dunedain in front of him. – “Revenge for our brothers!”

for visiting.

“Ahh!” – The rangers roared in response and raised their fists.

“We’ve been waiting for this day for too long. The fire of anger has been tormenting us these days, causing our insides to burn”. – Aldarion saw in the faces of dunedains as they remembered the suffering of seeing their brothers die.

“I only ask you one last effort, fan those flames, because they will grant us the strength to carry out our revenge”. – At that moment, Aldarion drew his sword and lifted it, pointed the point towards the sky. The rays of the Sun reflected on the blade of the sword making it stand out. Dunedains also began to draw their swords.

“Cast your fear! I call courage!” – Aldarion turned around and started to move slowly towards the enemy camp, where the self-proclaimed Lord of the North, Adrin, was hiding.

Advanced a few meters, he spoke again. – “Men of the West, my brothers! Let’s take our enemies to the abyss they should never have left! Let’s water the field with the blood of our enemies!” – As soon as he finished his speech, Aldarion urged Acan Dae, his mount, to gallop.

Followed by the fervor of their leader, dunedains also urged their horses to gallop and follow Aldarion into battle, while roaring at every moment.
