"Hmm. "Well, if you're too stiff, you'll make the horse nervous.
Lieutenant Cheb, standing proudly between me and Awen, says so.
As he said, Awen's horse was breathing hard.
"You've got a good horse, sir."
"It will be. We have to break through the enemy lines before anyone else does.
The lieutenant looks ahead to the great army of the Duchy of Celestia.
It is led by the remaining two of the four generals, Walker and Tyrell.
Awen, do you see them?
One of them.
Tyrell is probably the one at the far end of the large army, inspiring his allies.
Walker is the cavalry commander. He must be in that army by now.
Even if you can't see him, you can be sure he's in the center of that cavalry."
Lieutenant Cheb was right.
In short, we were going head-to-head in the middle of the enemy lines with the cavalry, the most powerful force the Duchy of Celestia had ever boasted of.
"It's about time."
The lieutenant crouched down and prepared to jump out at any moment.
Awen and I follow suit and are ready to go. .......
