Chapter 5 TrailsThe Knights of the Rose calvary poured headlong into the Orc troops. The Orcs that surrounded Rollin broke and ran for cover. Some turned to engage the cavalry that descended upon them, but to no avail. The mounted riders were skilled at battle on horseback and the war horses trained to make the rider and mount one cohesive fighting machine. The riders hacked and slashed into the Orcs cutting a wide path through the army as a river cuts through the soil.
The knights made a circle around Rollin protecting the weary warrior from further attacks. Even if the riders had recognized Rollin as the Winter Dragon, they would still be honor bound by the code of the paladins to come to another warrior’s aid.
“Back to the wall, warrior,” one of the mounted riders yelled to Rollin.
