The
host
passed
through
the
breach
and
halted
on
the
sloping
sward
above
.
They
now
learned
to
their
joy
that
Erkenbrand
had
left
many
men
to
hold
Helm
's
Gate
,
and
more
had
since
escaped
thither
.
'M
aybe
,
we
have
a
thousand
fit
to
fight
on
foot
,
'
said
Gamling
,
an
old
man
,
the
leader
of
those
that
watched
the
Dike
.
'
But
most
of
them
have
seen
too
many
winters
,
as
I
have
,
or
too
few
,
as
my
son
's
son
here
.
What
news
of
Erkenbrand
?
Word
came
yesterday
that
he
was
retreating
hither
with
all
that
is
left
of
the
best
Riders
of
Westfold
.
But
he
has
not
come
.
'
'
I
fear
that
he
will
not
come
now
,
'
said
Éomer
.
'
Our
scouts
have
gained
no
news
of
him
,
and
the
enemy
fills
all
the
valley
behind
us
.

'
I
would
that
he
had
escaped
,
'
said
Théoden
.
'
He
was
a
mighty
man
.
In
him
lived
again
the
valour
of
Helm
the
Hammerhand
.
But
we
can
not
await
him
here
.
We
must
draw
all
our
forces
now
behind
the
walls
.
Are
you
well
stored
?
We
bring
little
provision
,
for
we
rode
forth
to
open
battle
,
not
to
a
siege
.
'
'
Behind
us
in
the
caves
of
the
Deep
are
three
parts
of
the
folk
of
Westfold
,
old
and
young
,
children
and
women
,
'
said
Gamling
.
'
But
great
store
of
food
,
and
many
beasts
and
their
fodder
,
have
also
been
gathered
there
.
'
'
That
is
well
,
'
said
Éomer
.
'
They
are
burning
or
despoiling
all
that
is
left
in
the
vale
.
'
'
If
they
come
to
bargain
for
our
goods
at
Helm
's
Gate
,
they
will
pay
a
high
price
,
'
said
Gamling
.

The
king
and
his
Riders
passed
on
.
Before
the
causeway
that
crossed
the
stream
they
dismounted
.
In
a
long
file
they
led
their
horses
up
the
ramp
and
passed
within
the
gates
of
the
Hornburg
.
There
they
were
welcomed
again
with
joy
and
renewed
hope
;
for
now
there
were
men
enough
to
man
both
the
burg
and
the
barrier
wall
.
Quickly
Éomer
set
his
men
in
readiness
.
The
king
and
the
men
of
his
household
were
in
the
Hornburg
,
and
there
also
were
many
of
the
Westfold-men
.
But
on
the
Deeping
Wall
and
its
tower
,
and
behind
it
,
Éomer
arrayed
most
of
the
strength
that
he
had
,
for
here
the
defence
seemed
more
doubtful
,
if
the
assault
were
determined
and
in
great
force
.
The
horses
were
led
far
up
the
Deep
under
such
guard
as
could
be
spared
.
The
Deeping
Wall
was
twenty
feet
high
,
and
so
thick
that
four
men
could
walk
abreast
along
the
top
,
sheltered
by
a
parapet
over
which
only
a
tall
man
could
look
.
Here
and
there
were
clefts
in
the
stone
through
which
men
could
shoot
.
This
battlement
could
be
reached
by
a
stair
running
down
from
a
door
in
the
outer
court
of
the
Hornburg
;
three
flights
of
steps
led
also
up
on
to
the
wall
from
the
Deep
behind
;
but
in
front
it
was
smooth
,
and
the
great
stones
of
it
were
set
with
such
skill
that
no
foothold
could
be
found
at
their
joints
,
and
at
the
top
they
hung
over
like
a
sea-delved
cliff
.
