The arrival of the dark lord, Sauron, in physical form and with great magical power is also felt by Talion's generals, especially Haleth and Idril.

Feeling this enormous magical pressure, Idril is frightened, as one of her goals is to defeat the dark lord in order to get revenge, she is also surprised by the gap between them.

But despite this fear that comes from her most primal instincts, she pulls herself together and understands that she will have to train even harder from now on.

Haleth on his side, valiant and noble, does not let himself be impressed by this frightening power, on the contrary, he is excited, his blood is boiling, this crazy fighter has only one desire, and that is to face this powerful foe that is Sauron.

Idril then turns to Talion and asks with clenched and trembling fists "Talion, was it ... Sauron right? Is he back for real?"

Talion, looking serious, eyes directed north towards Barad-dûr answers without looking away " I'm afraid so, I thought we still had time, but luck is not on our side and I don't intend to rely on such an unreliable variable, we'll have to be strong, all together, because with his return the war will intensify ".

Without answering, Idril stands there and watches Talion without a word, not knowing what he is thinking.

Haleth on his side speaks " I am sure we will be able to defend ourselves my king, I apologize but I must go and deliver these rings " he says bowing and running to his task.

Talion thoughtfully considered several options to stop the dark lord's plans.

Then he asks Idril "Idril, have you heard from Allen? I will have to prepare emergency measures to protect him and the ring bearer".

Hearing the voice of her beloved, Idril comes out of her thoughts and answers him by looking at him " According to our last exchange they are crossing Rohan, they were near Foldburg, a city located close to Isengard, they will then go up in the direction of Rivendell, it should take them about ten days "

"Very well, I will forge one or two artifacts that you will have to give them thanks to your teleportation " Talion answers satisfied with the progress of his diplomats.

As Talion and Idril discuss the progress of Allen and the diplomats, Dura, the orc in charge of food management, comes running at full speed.

Talion sees Dura running at full speed in his direction and realizes that something is up.

Seeing Talion, Dura shouts out loud "We are being invaded! Armies are landing by boat on the coast, we retreated to the city as soon as we saw them, but they will be here soon!"

Hearing this, Talion reacts immediately " Dura stays in the city, Idril prepares the city for an assault, I will send Haleth and the elite army to take care of it, how many ships are there ? " he asks looking at Dura

"About ten ships, I know this type of boats and if each one is full, it would mean that 2000 men are ready to attack us".

"I'm going to inform Haleth" Talion answers and runs to the training ground.

When he arrives, he sees Haleth facing a legion of 100 units.

After observation, Talion sees each soldier equipped with a ring, they are proud, straight and look noble.

Equipped with pristine white armor and various weapons, they look impressive.

Each one of them releases a very great pressure around them, symbol of their powers.

This army, trained for war is ready, and it is in this context that Talion will call upon them for their first mission.

"Haleth, you and your guard have your first mission, a force of approximately 2000 men will land on the coast near Nurn, go and stop them, you should be able to".

Haleth seeing Talion and hearing his mission then replies "Well, we're going now my king, this will be a great test and I ought to perform well, and..." Hesitatingly, haleth asks Talion " And if you'll allow me, I'd like to call my order the royal guard".

"As you wish, I don't care about these types of things, you must leave immediately" orders Talion

" As you wish ! " answer then the soldiers of the guard in unison before following Haleth in direction of the main gate.

But as they leave, explosions are heard in the lower city near the main gate.

Hearing these explosions, Talion does not change his plan " Haleth, follow the mission, I'll take care of these explosions ".

Listening to his king, he turns, nods and hurries towards the main gate with his guard.

Talion using his power teleports directly to the gate.

There, near the main gate, he sees Calil and a dozen soldiers fighting against enemy orcs.

Not really understanding the situation, Talion in a rush kills each orc in less than a second using one of his skills, spectral assassinations.

Then, as he turns to Calil, more explosions resound, again he propels himself at full speed into the city and reaches one of the points where the explosion was heard.

Once again, orcs are fighting, but this time with civilians who, although they are not trained for combat, are robust due to the heavy load, valiant and disciplined.

The latter, in spite of their fear, immediately regrouped rather than fleeing and tried to fight the twenty orcs present.

Talion directly on the spot neutralizes each orc and immobilizes some of them for interrogation before jumping on one of the roofs and joining another explosion point.

There again, twenty orcs are being decimated by Talion's soldiers.

Talion, seeing that the situation is under control, quickly returns to Calil.

When he reaches him, he orders in a loud voice " Calil ! I want you to find the reason for these explosions and the appearance of these orcs, we need to find the security breach quickly, or else we will have a big problem".

I"'m sorry Talion, I was careless in my task and they were able to infiltrate through a security breach" Calil said, bowing, disappointed in himself

"Today we have been infiltrated, I do not know how, but we must not neglect the possibility of human spies within our kingdom, that is why I have entrusted you with your very special mission, we will talk about it again in a more discreet place" said Talion, putting his hand on his comrade's shoulder.

"Very well my lord, I leave this moment to carry out your orders" answers then Calil

But as he turns to leave to do his tasks, he sees flying creatures not far from the walls.

The Nazgûls have arrived, sent directly by Sauron, they are a powerful force and are ready to ravage the city of Nurn to stop the expansion of the kingdom of light.

Immediately recognizing the enemies, Calil shouts "The Nazgûls are here! Quickly all to your post, defend this city at the peril of your life! " then blows in a special horn, this last produces a high, piercing sound and then transforms into a booming and heavy sound, this horn is the kingdom of light's horn, specially designed by Ilbar, it creates an exhilarating sound recognizable by all.

Talion, hearing his friend, immediately turns around and sees the Nazgûls as well.

'How is it possible, I didn't even feel them arrive, could it be that they have a magical camouflage or something to hide them?' thinks Talion, astonished that he didn't feel the Nazgûls, who are marked by Sauron's presence and can be spotted quickly.

Pulling himself together, Talion thinks of a plan 'Damn it, pull yourself together! The only way to protect everyone is to use this power, I was going to save it for later for a surprise effect but I have no choice'.

The Nazgûls who are getting closer simultaneously let out a frightening scream using magic.

*Screeeeeech*

Hearing the noise of the nazgûls, most of the soldiers cannot help but to cover their ears and scream of pain, only the most valiant of them are able to resist somehow, some of them use their bows and shoot arrows in the direction of the flying mounts, but these last ones are dodged without problems.

As for the citizens, they are all writhing in pain hearing these cries, some are fainting under this powerful scream.

Then the Nazgûls charge at full speed towards the walls, but, as they are approaching the defenders, Talion reacts.

Activating the light of Galadriel, he generate a powerful shield around Nurn that repel the Nazgûls with great success.

Finally using this strange power, he is able to protect everyone in the city.

Turning towards the Nazgûls, he see them being pushed back by some invisible wall and screaming.

Seeing them vulnerable, Talion leaps towards them, ready to stop them, once and for all.
