A loud creaking noise was heard and the gates of Isengard opened, everything was still for some moments, until the sound of boots echoed in the distance. A company of fifty heavy armoured orcs was marching out of the White Wizard’s land. They were walking in two lines side by side, each one was consisted of twenty five orcs and the captain was to the left, next to the third line from the end. The dark brown orc was looking proudly at his soldiers, holding his trusty whip in his right hand. His head raised and turned left and right the moment he stepped out of the gates, the tall orc sniffed the air and growled delighted, his time has come!
He raised his right hand and lowered it once, violently, letting the whip crack and fall on the dirt, rising a cloud of dust, that was the sign for the company to start jogging, North. “Run!” growled the Captain and started running beside them, back to the left so that he could see them all. The orcs started running, showing how disciplined they were, or how much they feared that whip. Their strong legs ran, leaving their heavy tracks on the ground. Their armour was clanging as they ran; their left hands were on the hilts of the swords, for those who had swords, so that their weapons made as less sound as possible.
The night was getting old when some of the drunken orcs started to show that they were tired, one stumbled and almost tripped the one in the front, that orc managed to keep its balance but stop, causing all those behind him to stop. His right hand rose, forming a punch, but before it was released the sound of the whip meeting skin sounded. The drunken orc fell to its knees and groaned in pain, slowly looking at the captain with eyes full of hatred. “Run!” growled in a low pitch the captain, showing that he was serious. The mere tone of his voice made the orc stand up and they continued..
The course they took was Northeast, and then North along the line of the mountains, so that the trees and rocks and the high hills conceal them from the eye as they pass through Dunland and Enedwaith. It’s the first company that’s sent North.
