Chapter 8: A new general - Arc rise of the light kingdom
*******
POV Talion:
After arriving at my camp, I put a devastated Idril on one of the chairs in my tent and let go of the elf who immediately starts to complain.
"Why did you take us here? the fight was not over, we could defeat them!"
" So little elf, you're going to calm down, I'm not your friend nor your ally, I don't know who you are, nor where you come from, what I know is that you have an object that interests me and I'd like you to give it to me " I tell her interested by the object that she used to push back the nazguls.
Interrupting the discussion, I leave my tent and go to my army to start the operations. The elf following me doesn't give up and continues.
"For information I am Eltariel, I was sent under the orders of Galadriel to fight the Nazguls and this object is the light of Galadriel and I can't give it away, moreover I am your ally" she says while throwing me a cold glance.
"If you are really my ally, give me this light, with it I will defeat the Nazguls, I will even defeat Sauron" I tell her trying to convince her.
"No, only I can use it, we have to work together" she answers
Before continuing the discussion, my memories come back to me and I finally remember who she is, she is an elf, who with Celebrimbor betrayed Talion, leaving him to his death, to ultimately strengthen Sauron.
Thinking quickly, the best solution is to get rid of her, she is too much of a danger to me and my plans and I can't let her betray me, moreover if I absorb her item, I would become more powerful and could more easily stand up to the enemy.
Convinced that this is the best decision, I appear behind her with {Spectral Assassinations} and slit her throat before grabbing the pendant containing the light of galadriel and absorbing it. Putting my hands on the artifact I induce it with my magic and use the same ability as with the orcs when I dominate them. After some resistance I end up absorbing the artifact.
It now allows me to infuse my weapons with this light, which is the opposite of black magic and allows me to repel the Nazguls. I can also create a dome of light momentarily to protect myself and my servants.
Once the absorption is finished, I go to Golg to inform him of the beginning of the operations, and the gathering with my army.
Once this is done, I go back to my tent, I have to discuss with Idril.
*******
Arrived in front of Idril, this last seems to have calmed down a little, she is now in a reasonable state, for me to discuss with her.
"Idril" I call her to gain her attention
Turning to me she whispers "My father died, because I am weak, I-I did not manage to protect him, just like my mother and my sister"
Idril is a competent person, she is not yet strong enough to fight against enemy generals but her knowledge would be beneficial to me, she has been trained in the art of war and knows the tactics used by the Gondorian army. I can't be in several places at once, I can't fight and command my army at the same time, it's difficult.
Seeing her in this state, I made a big decision.
"Idril, would you like to help me, to fight against the mordor? Would you like to take revenge on Sauron, the killer of your parents? Don't you want to become stronger? Rise up, grab your sword and join me. Taking a deep breath I continue, "If you agree to join me, I promise you victory, freedom, and the well-being of the people you defend".
Listening to me, Idril wipes her tears, and realizes several things. Then after I had finished my speech, she remains in silence for a while, the time to think about my words. After a few minutes she stands up, grabs her sword and says to me:
"I lost everything, Talion, my family, my people, my city, my culture" then starting to cry again she continues "I-I, I don't want this weakness anymore, I want to get back what I lost, I-I want to take revenge for what they did! I accept Talion " She finishes, drying her tears and gaining a new resolution, her eyes glowing and ready for what is to come.
Smiling, happy with the outcome of this situation, I approach and put my hand on her head, then I use my power of domination but different from the usual, this one is softer, I concentrate more magic power and I impose a different mark on Idril, the mark of the general.
The process over, Idril changed physically, her face changed and became more feminine, her hair grew, and her eyes became brighter gaining a glow of lighter blue. Then a new power emanated from her, magic, she gained through this process, new powers, thanks to this mark she can also become stronger in battle and to a lesser extent, she can use some basic powers of Talion.
Kneeling, she shouts with a smile "My lord, I am now under your command".
"Good Idril, however I wish that you continue to call me Talion, now follow me" I answer her by leaving my tent before hearing
"Alright, Talion".
********
Once arrived at the center of the camp, I see my army, a thousand orcs ready to fight to the death, about thirty olog, some Graug (They are huge beasts, very powerful but they have no intelligence) but also dozens of captains. Among these captains 4 are fierce warriors, the first one is Golg the spearman, the second one is Luga, an assassin trained in Cirith Ungol before I dominated him, he is the head of an assassin troop and has done several important missions.
In third position we have Ar-Kaius, an Olog master of fire who is not affected by it, he is formidable and will be in the first line in charge of destroying the gate and burning the enemies, he is at the head of a troop of war ologs, equipped with heavy armor and powerful fighters.
The last one, Skar, is a mischievous marksman, leader of the archers and a long distance attacker, he is master of curses and machinery, he also takes care of the logistics and the equipment of the army.
The other captains are less powerful, but still formidable warriors, each one a master of a particular discipline.
In front of my army stands a platform, I go up on it accompanied by Idril then I make my speech
"Today we will attack Cirith Ungol, each of you is a formidable warrior and it goes without saying that we will win, the sun will rise on mordor and the lord of light will prevail!" followed by my speech I announce
"Our army has found its first general, Idril, she will lead you tactically while I will go to the front, don't forget, if you prove yourself, you too can become general!"
Finishing my announcement and speech I am cheered by my soldiers, then we leave in the direction of Cirith Ungol, to conquer my first fortress.
