Adar's army finds the watchtower abandoned; Arondir destroys the tower, collapsing it onto the Orc army. Having retreated to Tirharad, Arondir hides the broken sword and professes his love to Bronwyn. The ensuing battle in Tirharad begins well for the villagers but they discover that many of the enemies are traitorous villagers disguised as Orcs. The main Orc army then attacks hugging many and severely wounding Bronwyn. To save Bronwyn, Theo reveals the location of the broken sword to Adar. After journeying across the sea, the Númenórean army arrives at the village and routs Adar's army. Adar gives Waldreg a task before attempting to escape but is captured by Galadriel and Halbrand. Under interrogation, Adar reveals his origins as one of the Moriondor or Uruks, Elves corrupted by Morgoth, and claims to havehuged Sauron. As Halbrand is hailed as the King of the Southlands, Theo realizes the broken sword they recover from Adar is a decoy. Waldreg has the real sword and plants it into a mechanism that opens a nearby dam. The water rushes through the Orc tunnels towards Orodruin and clashes with magma, resulting in a phreatomagmatic eruption and a pyroclastic flow that approaches the village.
