Wondering what was going on, I feared that they had discovered his ambush troops (our very small, small scale of rohirrim). Occupied with shooting with arrows, I heard Roran over skype suddenly making a sound. Perhaps slowly, but every enemy that was shot down, meant an enemy less that we would need to face in close quarters later.Īs the enemy noticed that Roran was having an unit of soldiers with guns, they used their hand mortars. This might have likely bolstered their morale, not caring as my archers kept whittling down their numbers. They had the advantage in numbers and superior units. With returning fire bravely, the enemy slowly kept advancing. I however seemed to have forgotten about one unit, that bravely stood and answered the enemy's hail of arrows with that of their own. Hoping to catch them off guard and thus in range of my archers. Already the enemy 's fire rockets made some impressive impact as I had to withdraw one unit of archer in order to lure out the enemy fire rockets. With the enemy on one position, Roran worked on moving his hidden troops while I tried my best to keep the enemy occupied with my archers. It seemed that our men were fond of surprising us with having our castle some canons to fire back at the enemy! Not that they are too accurate or demolishing the morale of the enemy soldiers, we were more than happy with them anyways. Then the sounds of cannons made me and Roran look up surprised. Not to hide them, but to avoid the enemy from firing easily on them, if at all.

With this scenario, we decided together to just draw their fire on my archers and keep our soldiers with pikes and swords hidden behind the castle. But unlike the brave defenders of Rohan, we wouldn't be relieved by a large allied force of cavalry that would swoop down and save us all.

It gave me the same feels for a moment as one would have spotting a large army of Uruk Hai in front of their Helms Deep. The enemy had gathered their armies together in one spot.
