The sun has set and the tired warriors are resting. An enemy spy is lurking in the shadows, patiently waiting for everyone to fall asleep. There it is! He walks away, making careful, silent steps. Once he is outside the camp, he runs as fast as he can, to get back to his commander.
The military machine receives the news and decides – it is time to attack! Towards the hill! The warriors assume an attack formation, their armor is rattling and the earth is rumbling beneath their feet. Strictly disciplined, they all march in step to the beat of the drums and the sound of the flute. They do a short break, then they continue. Soon after, they reach their destination.
The sky to the east is softly turning pink by the rising dawn, but it is still dark. The company at the top of the hill is asleep, and they have no idea of the approaching danger. The enemy wastes no more time and strikes! A terrifying battle follows after which the legionnaires are defeated and retreat.
The brave defenders descend the hill towards Mirkwood, where they can take cover from the enemy eyes. There they will celebrate the victory.
