1:17:03
...lands we had thought safely ours.
1:17:12
The tide had turned still one more time...
1:17:15
...and this time, against us!
1:17:21
But behold!
1:17:22
As the flagship's standard broke the wind...
1:17:25
...it displayed the sign no lord
had borne for years...
1:17:29
...and which only one lord could bear:
1:17:33
Aragon! He who would be our king...
1:17:37
...had returned!
1:17:43
And the hosts of Mordor
were seized with bewilderment...
1:17:46
...and they fled.
1:17:50
That night we held council.
1:17:53
While Aragorn had the enemy on the run...
1:17:55
...he decided to pursue them into Mordor...
1:17:58
...across the Gorgoroth Plateau...
1:18:01
...and to the bastion of Sauron himself,
the Dark Tower of Barad-dur.
1:18:07
The shortest way would be
through the pass at Cirith Ungol.
1:18:11
But that is narrow and dangerous
to move an army through.
1:18:14
And so he decided to march
along the mountains, north...
1:18:17
...and then west...
1:18:19
...to the haunted pass of Cirith Gorgor...
1:18:22
...and the untold legions of the Black Lord.
1:18:26
Why so glum, Wizard?
1:18:28
Does the mere thought of Sauron's
vast forces overwhelm your spirit?
1:18:33
This war is without final hope.
1:18:36
Victory cannot be achieved
by force of arms...
1:18:39
...whether you sit here to endure
siege after siege...
1:18:42
...or march out to be overwhelmed.
1:18:44
You have only a choice of evils!
1:18:46
Then, if the choice be mine...
1:18:49
...I choose to march!
1:18:54
And for days and nights march we did.
1:18:57
But my spirit was leaden.
