The sieges1 continues.  The corsairs of Umbar are sailing to assist Y/n with a naval blockade.

Y/n coordinates a naval battle at Osgiliath to distract the Gondorian fleet. He sent the order as soon as the siege started.

The reason Y/n isn't going to let them escape this time, is due to food.   Y/n can use the dead to feed his army.   And getting supplies this deep into Gondor is problematic. 

The supply trains takes weeks to get there. 

Y/n hopes to take the fort before Rohan arrives. But he doesn't rely on it. 

He knows he has to be prepared for anything in this situation.   

Iris on the other finds herself in a stranger situation. One she wants to deal with as soon as she can. She took a few days to think about it. She finally came up with a potential solution. 

At night she went up to Vala's post.

Vala: Hello Iris.

Iris unhooked the chain from the pole and took a hold of the leash.

Iris: Follow me.

Iris lead Vala to her tent.

Vala: *flirting* And what are you going to do to me in here? 

Iris: Look.  I've never tried this before. So shut it.  

Vala: *sly smile* Do you want to take charge or should I?

Iris: Shut up! I'm in charge!

Vala: *smiles* Whatever you say. *flirting* Should I call you mistress too?

Iris: *blushes* Shut it.  Just...come here.

Vala approached Iris. 

Iris pulled her in without a word and began to kiss her.  Vala smiled throughout the kiss until they parted.

Vala: Satisfied?

Iris: I needed to see.  Now I have my answer. 

Vala: And?

Iris: I'll...share. 

Vala: I guess you should let Y/n know then.

Iris: I will. Stay here.

Iris left the tent.  She went to Y/n's and entered to see him sitting on his bed.

Iris: Y/n?

Y/n: Yes my love? 

Iris: I made my decision on Vala.

Y/n: And?

Iris: I want her to join us.

Y/n: Alright then.  Then I'm putting her under you're command. She reports to you.

Iris: Thank you my love.

The next day would bring an unexpected boon. The corsairs of Umbar arrived ahead of schedule.    They set up their naval blockade around the fortress.  

The admiral of this fleet arrived at the camp to meet with Y/n. 

The admiral walked into Y/n's comman tent where he was talking about the siege to his warchiefs and Vala.

Admiral: Excuse me.  Which one of you would be Y/n the general?

Y/n stepped up to him.

Y/n: That'd be me.

Admiral: I am admiral Dazom.  You sent the corsairs a message after taking Pelagir.

Y/n: I did indeed. 

Dazom: The Haradrim are allied with Sauron, as you might be aware.   But you are not Haradrim. 

Y/n: You are correct. My bloodline is from Gondor. 

Dazom: You will have to tell how you came to serve Sauron one day after this ends.

Y/n: If you wish.

Dazom: You just need my men to hold this blockade?

Y/n: Yes.  Don't worry about the ground, we have that covered. 

Dazom: We can handle that. 

Y/n: If we take this fortress. The ships of Gondor will have nowhere to go.  Remember that.

Dazom: If you take the fortress, the armies of  Harad  will flock to  support you.    The one general who single handedly done what we've tried to do for decades.

Y/n: I will welcome the support. 

Dazom: It'd be foolish not to. 

Little did they all know of the riders of Rohan. They weren't alone. The army of Arnor is with them.   Aragorn leading the  Arnor army.

Aragorn and the army of Arnor stays at Osgiliath and the riders of Rohan ride towards Y/n's position. 

However it will be some time till they arrive. And they may not even arrive in time if everything goes well for Y/n. 

The defenders of Dol Amroth find themselves in a even tougher position with the naval blockade.  

Y/n kept the pressure on them by coordinating artillery strikes on their food storages. He also had Dushrat run sabotage operations, destroying their ammo and poisoning their well. 

Y/n was expecting the riders of Rohan, but he didn't know when they would show up. He's gone too far into Gondor for them to not rush to aid Gondor.  It was the only logical thing to do.  Alone, Rohan stood little chance, especially against a still strong Mordor. 

He laid traps ahead of time. And made a plan to deal with them.

Little did the riders of Rohan know, they were riding to their deaths. 

The end of the war draw closer by the minute.  And the eye of Sauron knows who is to thank for this.
