Morgoth the first dark lord wrote: Tybereous wrote: Morgoth the first dark lord wrote: The orc general on top of the outer walls, Crazag yells "Seems like we hit a day of a rebellion, hahah, less meat for us boys but it will be easier meat..." A shadow guard next to him replies "You orcs only think of meat...But truly, it seems like there are some internal incidents taking place today...The odds are with us..." That are the words coming from his deep but calm voice.

The battering ram continues to push and more and more orcs are in the outer walls along with some men.

The catapults continue firing on the inter walls now. The four thousand or so elves dispatch the men quickly, after realizing that they were being stabbed in the back, but take extreme casualties. Their numbers are reduced to about 2500, and they're separated and spread thin along the walls and in the courtyard. Some retreat through hidden back gates and are slaughtered by traitors. Others hold their posts and are killed by orc arrows or catapults. A small group of about 500 manage to organize and hole up in one of the large barracks separate from Utumno.

Meanwhile, underground. The gatehouse has been taken by traitors, and no operation to retake it has even been attempted. The armies inside Utumno are in complete disarray, with all but one of their higher officers assassinated. The one left alive is unconscious and almost dead. The capitol city's gatehouse, a stronghold by itself, has almost been taken by the traitors as well. With the help of some magic, the gate finally breaks and thousands of soldiers are going inside pushing forward to the second one. The catapults make enough holes in the second wall for some orcs get through them. (Well, where's Tybereous?) (There are two walls, then Utumno. The second still has pockets of elves defending it, but is crumbling and compromised in many places. And he's at the peak, like we said...)

Any surviving elves on the walls put up a decent fight, but have no chance against the endless hordes.
