"Sir Justin!" Sam yelled to the mounted knight above him.
"Sam!" Justin replied, pulling his horse to a stop next to Samuel Dawson.
"There are too many of them!" Sam yelled.
"We fight anyway!" Justin yelled back. He charged forward upon his horse and swung his sword downwards. It lodged in the head of a red soldier and he shook it loose.
"We fight or we die!" Justin yelled. He pulled Sam up onto the back of his horse and they raced through the fray.
"I'm worried that there are three more of those statues! Earl and Blue are having trouble with one of them!" Sam said, raising his voice to be heard over the sounds of battle.
Sam's leg shot out sideways and slammed a man in the face. His sword arm lowered and decapitated a red soldier.
Red soldiers came at the knights from all sides. When they managed to defeat some, more seemed to appear from an entrance elsewhere in the castle. Arrows still rained down from the top of the outer wall.
Sam realised with horror what was happening. The red archers were closing them in.
The arrows were raining down at the edges of the battle, driving people inwards. The red soldiers on the field pushed in from every side, boxing in the knights.
"Damn it, we're being herded!" Danny yelled. Sam spun around.
"Danny!" Sam yelled.
"Sam."
"How's it goin'?"
"Not bad. You?"
"Little busy."
"Yeah."
"This here is a problem."
Danny nodded in reply, then drove an armful of porcupine quills into a man's face.
"We may be about to die," Sam said.
Danny shrugged. "I had fun."
Knights fell around them. The red archers closed in.
Suddenly a figure appeared on the horizon. It was a large man on an undead horse.
"Justin's knights stand alone," Priest said.
Ozzy appeared on another zombie horse behind him.
"No... not alone," Ozzy said.
Grimm pushed past them on his own horse and charged into the battle below. Thousands of zombies followed.
