Um, Commando, are you aware of the fact that the sea of Nurn is basically the only place in Mordor the orcs were allowed to keep. So when you say his forces rallied and were sent into Nurn, do you mean something else? Because it seems like they would have already been in Nurn.

Meanwhile, in Mordor...

As the Orcish force (it can't be a very big Orcish force, there aren't many left) marched out of the Nurn region, none of them noticed any of the three Mirkwood scouts that were posted just outside of Nurn. Nor did they notice any of the dozens that they passed on their way. As soon as Eureka rose to power, he had enlisted many Silvan Elves to aid in the spying of Mordor. There were hidden underground bases and posts for the Mirkwood scouts. Given that Eureka helps defend the Eastfold of Rohan, as well as having defense posts and patrols in Emyn Muil, Eastern Ithilien, Nindalf, and even Dagorlad and the Dead Marshes, it wasn't any surprise that he would have spies in Mordor. He wasn't colloquially known as "The Guardian of the East" for nothing. And so it was that information of the Orcs traveled faster than the Orcs themselves, and so it was that Eureka Enderborn knew of the army and their destination before they even reached it.

At Kheled Arnin...

The High Elf envoy in Kheled Arnin received the news as well, then brought it to the throne of Ered Nimrais. They told Glosur of this news, and urged him to tell the other Dwarven clans. Elven messengers appeared at Minas Tirith, Hobbiton, Eriador, and Forochel. Eureka himself appeared before King Eomer of Rohan (he always had a fondness for the Rohirrim), and all carried the same news. Ready your men, and stay vigilant. Mordor is on the move.
