Now the army of Rohan was on its way to Gondor. After half the way, a young rider appeared in front of them to bring the request of assistance. So the riders speeded up because time was valuable. A short time later the king noticed that they could not reach Gondor in time, so he asked the Druadan, which dwelt in the woods round the great Mindolluin (the mountain where Minas Tirith stood) for a shortcut and they showed the Rohirrim ways, they had never known. So the army of Rohan reached Minas Tirith in time and the battle began.
