Therefore Camorak drew up his remaining warriors in line of battle to wage their last war, and they stepped forward over the crisp bones of old, unburied armies. No sentinel defied them in the gate, no arrow flew from any tower of war. THEREFORE CAMERACK DREW UP HIS REMAINING WARRIORS IN LINE OF BATTLE TO WAGE THEIR LAST WAR AND THEY STEPPED FORWARD OVER THE CRISP BONES OF OLD UNBURIED ARMIES NO SENTINEL DEFIED THEM IN THE GATE NO ARROW FLEW FROM ANY TOWER OF WAR
nd at last they marched on still because it seemed better to march on than to think. For many years they had wandered and had fought with many tribes; often they gathered legends in villages and listened to idle singers singing songs; and all the rumours of Carcassonne still came from the South. And then one day they came to a hilly land with a legend in it that only three valleys away a man might see, on clear days, Carcassonne. Tired though they were and few, and worn with the years which had all brought them wars, they pushed on instantly, led still by Arleon's inspiration which dwindled in his age, though he made music with his old harp still. All day they climbed down into the first valley and for two days ascended, and came to the Town That May Not Be Taken In War below the top of the mountain, and its gates were shut against them, and there was no way round. To left and right steep precipices stood for as far as eye could see or legend tell of, and the pass lay through the city. NGER AGAINST FATE AND AT LAST THEY MARCHED ON STILL BECAUSE IT SEEMED BETTER TO MARCH ON THAN TO THINK FOR MANY YEARS THEY HAD WANDERED AND HAD FOUGHT WITH MANY TRIBES OFTEN THEY GATHERED LEGENDS AND VILLAGES AND LISTENED TO IDLE SINGERS SINGING SONGS AND ALL THE RUMOURS OF CARCASSINY STILL CAME FROM THE SOUTH AND THEN ONE DAY THEY CAME TO A HILLY LAND WITH A LEGEND IN IT THAT ONLY THREE VALLEYS AWAY A MAN MIGHT SEE ON CLEAR DAYS CARCASSINY TIRED THOUGH THEY WERE AND FEW AND WORN WITH THE YEARS WHICH HAD ALL BROUGHT THEM WARS THEY PUSHED ON INSTANTLY LED STILL BY ARLEON'S INSPIRATION WHICH DWINDLED IN HIS AGE THOUGH HE MADE MUSIC WITH HIS OLD HARP STILL ALL DAY THEY CLIMBED DOWN INTO THE FIRST VALLEY AND FOR TWO DAYS ASCENDED AND CAME TO THE TOWN THAT MAY NOT BE TAKEN IN WAR BELOW THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN AND ITS GATES WERE SHUT AGAINST THEM AND THERE WAS NO WAY ROUND TO LEFT AND RIGHT STEEP PRECIPICES STOOD FOR AS FAR AS EYE COULD SEE OR LEGEND TELL OF AND THE PASS LAY THROUGH THE CITY
