chapter 20.

Y/n lays siege to Minas Tirith.   He expects this siege to last for a long time. He expected Osmond and co to be in Minas Tirith. But he was wrong.

Scouts reported Osmond and co going towards the lands of Elves, presumably to meet up with the joint force of Elves and Dwarves. 

This only made the siege easier for Y/n. Minas Tirith will receive no supplies from anywhere. And they had a larger population than normal because of refugees from Pelagir.  

The siege was held for weeks before the combined forces would march to Minas Tirith. 

The elven archers take the front.  Just as Y/n hoped.

Y/n knew his archers were outmatched. And his artillery were busy countering Gondorian siege equipment.  

So he had to get the first volley off.  

He mounted his archers on caragors and sent them in. The archers harassed the elven archers and ran from enemy cavalry.

Eventually the Elves and dwarves charged full force.  

Y/n could see Osmond and co charging alongside the Elves and dwarves.

Y/n ordered most of his men to charge at the enemy army. 

Y/n and his warchiefs rode into battle alongside the others. The armies clashed and chaos ensued. 

If the armies of dwarves and elves lost here, this would mean that Y/n's army could march through all of middle earth with no problem. 

Sonimar slashes his way through grunts with his axe.  

Iris appears with grunts at her side.

Sonimar: Iris! 

Iris: Hello Sonimar.

Sonimar: This is the end.

Iris: I know. Either you kill me here, or I kill you. 

Sonimar: I'm sorry it has to be this way.

Iris: I do too. You were always kind to me.  I would offer you surrender, but you'd never give up.

Sonimar: *chuckle* I guess you're right.

Iris smiled.

Iris: Back off boys. He's my fight.

The grunts backed off and went to help other grunts.

Iris drew her blade.

Sonimar charged for Iris and went for a swing, Iris ducked under the swing and rolled away.  

Sonimar went for another swing, this went one for some time. Iris couldn't get close enough for a stab. 

She eventually found an opening, instead of ducking under the attack. She jumped over it and plunged her blade into Sonimar's chest. They both fell to the ground with Iris on top.

Sonimar: *weakly* O...oh well.  I won't complain. I get to...see...my family...again.

Iris: Go to them, Sonimar. I couldn't save you're family. But at least you will be with them again.

Iris pulled the blade out of his chest. Sonimar closed his eyes and accepted his death.

Myhlan finds himself in a stickier situation.  He is surrounded by orcs with nobody to help him.  

Suddenly he blocks a knife being thrown at him. He looks to see it was Vala who threw it at him. 

Vala: Pity that you blocked that. It was a good throw.

Myhlan: You will have to try harder than that.

Vala: As you wish.

Vala charged at Myhlan. Both of them have seen combat over the years.

Both were almost evenly matched. But one thing made Vala better than Myhlan. Craftiness.

Myhlan went for a swing which  Vala blocked.  

Vala pulled out one of her knives and stabbed it into Myhlan's throat. He gurgled blood as he fell to the ground.

Eltariel and Osmond fought side by side. Until they heard a familiar voice.

Y/n: Eltariel, Osmond!

They looked at Y/n.

Y/n: Which one of you wants to die first?!

Eltariel went for a shadow strike on Y/n who blocked it and kicked her away.  Eltariel jumped over Y/n and went to slash his back.

Y/n dodged and punched her in the face.  She stumbled back until the unexpected happened.

Y/n slashed downwards and cut off her arm, unfortunately for Eltariel that same hard had the hand that the ring was on. She screamed in pain before Y/n finished her off.

Y/n turned and looked at Osmond who looked unfazed. He drew his sword.

The two didn't say a word and charged at each other.  They clashed and started trading strikes.

They were neck and neck. Both warriors giving this final bout their all. 

Osmond knocked Y/n's sword away and went for a stab. Y/n dodged and extended his wrist blades. Y/n slashed at Osmond who blocked it and backed up.

They walked a small circle around each other before Y/n lunged at Osmond.    Osmond dodges and goes for a slash which Y/n rolled away from.

Osmond went for a thrust, Y/n dodged the thrust and returned it with his own, stabbing Osmond through the gut with both sets of blades.

Y/n pulled the blades out and Osmond fell to his knees.

Osmond: F...Finally, it's over.

Osmond falls backwards and dies. 

Y/n in head: I avenge you Norsko. And you too Ishmoz. 

The battle was turning in Y/n's favor. The Gondorians got daring and charged out of the city at Y/n's army.

But once again Y/n was prepared.  This is what he wanted.   
The rest of Y/n's army counter charged.  And now the Gondorians were locked in combat as well.

The Dwarven and  Elven armies kept fighting. But there was no way for them to win.

Pockets of them get encircled and killed until there is none left standing.

And when they fall. The Gondorians don't stand a chance.   The Gondorian defenders are wiped out.  

Minas Tirith had almost no defenders. And surrendered.  In exchange the lives the remaining Gondorians would be spared.

Y/n took Eltariel's ring as a prize.  But didn't wear it.

Y/n's army marched through middle earth almost uncontested. Pockets of resistance remained but were stomped out.

But Sauron would not rule middle earth.  The one ring was still destroyed and Sauron was defeated by  the fellowship of the ring. 

While they stopped Sauron. They couldn't stop Y/n. 

Y/n had the respect of Mordor. And they accepted his rule.  

Y/n got more power than he could ever hope for. He was an emperor now. The emperor of middle earth.   He thinks his journey is over. But it's not.
