Seregost - Arc rise of the light kingdom

*****

Nurn, Fortress, Conference Room

In the conference room of the fortress, Talion and his allies plan the next steps of the war in Mordor.

In this room, around a long and imposing table, are the orc warlords. Talion's ring has strengthened them over time, and they are now more intelligent and thoughtful than they should be.

There are also the leaders of the men Baranor and Aldamir, and Idril at Talion's side.

"First Seregost, then Minas Morgul and finally Gorgoroth, we will take Sauron's strongholds one by one, we will strengthen ourselves, and then we will hit him with all our strength" Talion said looking at the people in the room.

"We don't have enough strength to assault Minas Morgul and Seregost at the same time, we can't afford to split our troops" replied Baranor.

"We can always ask Gondor for help, can't we? They will be more than happy to take back their old territory".

"They abandoned us at Minas Ithil, Aldamir" Idril replies "We can't trust them anymore, and it's dangerous to involve them"

"What do you propose then?"

"You will prepare the assault on Minas Morgul, we must strike hard and all together, train the men and loot the trade routes of eastern men for food and armor, I will take care of Seregost " I said to all of them

"You want to attack a fortress alone? This is madness Talion, we must call upon Gondor" Aldamir insists

Talion gets up, then Idril follows him, and he says before leaving " My decision is final, you prepare the assault, I take Seregost "

Following the war meeting, Talion immediately goes to Seregost.

Once in the region, he begins the creation of a new army with the domination of orcs and especially captains.

He infiltrates different outposts and dominates a maximum of soldiers. Different military cities are present around the fortress.

One by one, he attacks them, killing some orcs, dominating others. After 3 days, Talion now has 4 military cities, and a dozen captains. After fighting the Nazgûls and the Balrog, it is now much easier for Talion to dominate orcs.

He is able to take on the fortress alone and win. But he doesn't want to destroy it, he wants to conquer it, so he needs soldiers to populate it, and to control it.

Moreover, part of the forces of this region will be reassigned to the assault on Minas Morgul.

****

After a few days of intensive work, the army is now ready, the soldiers equipped, the captains have precise instructions. The rams and siege towers are mounted, the assault can be launched.

The armies advance, the orcs sing and shout in honor of their sovereign. The ram approaches the gate, the attacking forces behind it ready to storm in and destroy the defenders.

While marching to the gate, Talion forces are greeted by a rain of arrows, assault towers and ladders are set up on the walls and the orcs storm the walls. The troops swarm the enemy, and the battle begins.

The battering ram smashes the door and the ologs charge forward blowing away everything in their path. The captains lead the troops to the assault and execute the instructions of their lord. They split up, the archers harassed the troops, the savages smashed the lines followed by the long shield bearers who entered the fray.

The captains specialized in fire and bombs shoot missiles and ignite part of the opposing army.

The warriors approach and push the front, gaining more and more ground and driving out the dark lord's troops.

Meanwhile, Talion assassinates the enemy captains as quickly as possible, teleporting and running around the battlefield. He sees a captain, he runs and decapitates his head, he dodges a bomb from another enemy, turns and shoots an arrow at him, which explodes, taking his life.

After having assassinated many captains and facilitated the advance of the troops, he moves towards the supreme leader.

Without waiting, he enters the room and shoots icy projectiles at the orc who, not very sensitive to cold, only gets a few scratches.

Furious, he rushes at Talion, equipped with a long thorny chain, he strikes towards Talion who easily avoids it. Then Talion concentrates his magic around his hands and summons two black, burning flames. The temperature of the room heats up, the heat of these flames is such that the air bends around them.

Talion shoots orbs of flames towards the orc, these orbs spin at a lightning speed, the orc cannot react and is immediately hit. These black flames touching his skin, immediately burn him and melt him. The heat of these flames is so intense, it transforms him into ashes in a few seconds.

The power of these flames is such that the black stone floor of the mordor where the orc was is melted.

Talion, not having finished his demonstration of power, leaves the room and the tower, and returns to the battlefield.

Once there, he finds that his troops are close to victory, partly due to the absence of many captains who have been decimated.

Using the same process, Talion curves his magic around each of his hands, in his right hand a powerful icy power is released, the surrounding air freezes, this biting and intense cold freezes the oxygen atoms present in the air.

In his left hand, he summons a black and fiery fireball, using his two powers, Talion gradually turns them into an orb and stabilizes them.

This process takes time due to its complexity, but Talion's abilities in this field are prodigious.

These two orbs once formed both have a formidable and concentrated power, they do not affect the environment anymore, no power escapes from them.

Then Talion uses magic once again, he creates several magic filaments that he attaches to each orb, then he pushes each orb towards the other while chanting magic formulas.

These spheres like the two poles of a magnet push each other away, but Talion doesn't give up and continues to push harder and harder, applying more and more magic, then finally the two spheres merge and from this fusion a new power is born, a flame possessing the two attributes, it freezes and burns at the same time. This flame has the best of both elements and Talion can now use it.

He turns to the army of defenders, then he shoots this flame towards them. It approaches the army at high speed and then makes contact with them. After contact, the whole army is frozen, then the frost turns into flame and burns them, melting them, the ice and fire merge and both properties are triggered at the same time, destroying the body of each orc, leaving nothing behind.

"I've finally done it, the magic in this world is amazing," Talion says breathlessly from the intense process.

'I'll have to master this new element, for now I can only use this power once, it's too taxing and takes too much time to use it in battle against powerful opponents, I'll have to become even more powerful to use it freely'.

Finishing these thoughts, he turns to his army and finishes the conquest of the fortress, then he organizes the distribution of troops and territories to the different captains before appointing a fortress chief.

Then after some time, he forms a new army and sends it directly to Nurn, warning Idril of the imminent arrival of this reinforcement.
