Chapter 16: Expedition

3rd POV

Domeric stood at the gates of Dreadfort as he gave his aunt a goodbye hug, who was hugging him tightly.

Behind him were several Human soldiers, who wore armor similar to those of Gondor, but completely black, there were also Uruk-Hai Warriors, Goblins, Half-Trolls, and Trolls fully equipped and armed.

2 Builders among them would help in the creation of the Fortress Beyond the Wall, where it would be the "Meeting Point" of the Giants who would be recruited by Domeric.

After a series of farewells from Barbrey, Domeric mounted his Dire Caragor and began to go with his soldiers marching right behind him.

The march caused the ground they stood on to shake, and a force of 1,750 fully armed people marched with one goal in mind.

Of course, to feed that many soldiers, Dimeric prepared more than enough provisions to last for the duration of the Expedition, until the Stronghold he wanted to build was finished.

When the Stronghold is built, Domeric will send food and other necessities besides weapons and armor there, in addition to paying a certain amount of gold to the Night's Watch to let their supplies go to the Stronghold.

The Night's Watch Commander Jeor Mormont wanted to let the supplies pass for free, but Domeric, who was in his "Good Lord" mantle, didn't accept such a deal, which earned him some more points with Jeor Mormont( which were already enough in quantity).

It had been a few weeks since Domeric left his lands to go on his expedition, he passed through various territories of other Houses until arriving at Castle Black.

When he arrived at the gates of Castle Black, he was personally greeted by Jeor Mormont who had a small escort behind him.

"Lord Bolton, the Night's Watch welcomes you," Jeor said respectfully as he offered his hand to shake.

"It's an honor to meet you, Commander" Domeric said also respectfully as he shook his hand.

After this exchange of pleasantries between the two, Domeric ordered the troops to rest before departing Beyond the Wall.

Domeric was given a room to sleep in, as he was an important guest for the Night's Watch.

He slept peacefully, luckily there was wine offered to him, Domeric drank every bottle that was offered to him and fell straight into bed.

The next day, Domeric woke up with laziness in his body, but he had to wake up quickly, as he had to find the ideal place for the Stronghold.

He went to the camp where his guts were resting and told everyone to get ready for departure.

Domeric then mounted his Dire Caragor and went to the gates of the Wall, when the gates were raised he rode forward along with the troopers close behind.

During the march, nothing happened, not even an attack by wildlings as Domeric had expected, but he noticed that a crow was following them after a while.

Domeric was doubting that they were being watched by a Shaman from some Tribe.

//AN: I'll call the GOT Wargs Shamans, so I don't have any future problems //

The shaman who was controlling the crow stopped abruptly and was breathing heavily, what she saw was a fully armed and equipped army that could easily destroy her tribe.

'I need to talk to the Chief' she thought to the Shaman as she left the place where she was and ran to where her Chief's tent was.

Returning to our protagonist, Domeric found after a long time an ideal place for the Fortress, he had one builder build an Isengard Fortress, while the other builds a Fissure.

While this was happening, the Human soldiers were amazed by this, those of the Cult of Sauron even knelt and began to pray and some spoke that Domeric was the Chosen of Sauron to the other soldiers.

The Commissioners who went with Domeric and who saw this tried their best to contain themselves and not to kneel too, as they needed to ensure that there was no mess between the troops.

A Female Commissioner who was an extremely fanatical person to Sauron and Domeric saw all this wonder in front of her, and then looked at Domeric.

Domeric didn't care about that, just focused on the Stronghold that was being built, when the construction was finished, he would start the other buildings.

He wanted this Stronghold he was created to be fully fortified, in addition to having permanent troops in place, which he would later name the Overlord of that Stronghold through a duel between the Uruk Captains.

After Isengard Fortress was finished, Domeric ordered the builder to build the Walls that would encircle the entire site.

"M-my Lord, what should we do?" she asked the Female Commissioner as she bowed her head to Domeric in awe and reverence.

"Send a few groups to patrol around the Stronghold, if they see any Wildlings or a Hostile group, they should kill ALMOST everyone, they should leave one alive for interrogation" Domeric said seriously while his back was still to the Commissioner.

The Commissioner nodded and went to give the orders, but she looked at Domeric with a strange glint in her eyes before she left.

So the construction started, and the walls were already starting to appear and surround the entire Fortress, the troops also already set up the tents and lit some fires to keep warm.

The wagons were unloaded and all supplies went into the Isengard Fortress building, just as Domeric was heading there.

Unlike the game, the building was really big, including a Great Hall, where the future Overlord would be.

When Domeric saw the throne that was in the Great Hall, he temporarily took it for himself, when he was named Overlord, he would give him the throne of the Fortress, until then, it's him alone.

Domeric, who was sitting on his throne, was thinking about what he should do next, this mostly involved the Original Giants that exist Beyond the Wall.

There are only 2 Paths for them, Submission or Annihilation, but he couldn't think straight so he looked at the Troll and the Uruk who were at the entrance of the Great Guard Hall.

"Have someone bring me wine" Ordered Domeric while waving his hand and dismissing the guards, the Troll and Uruk bowed and started running to get wine.
