The Nazgul. Men?

[Legolas]

Gothmog's "assumption of command" also sounds exaggerated here. He did nothing more than "fling" the troops "into the fray."

He [Witch-King] now was destroyed; but Gothmog the lieutenant of Morgul had flung them into the fray; Easterlings with axes, and Variags of Khand. Southrons in scarlet, and out of Far Harad black men like half-trolls with white eyes and red tongues.

Also, I don't think Sauron ever imagined the Witch-King falling, especially to a chick and a hobbit. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
