"They are coming! What should we do?" Liara whispered, her eyes wide with panic.
Ren's expression darkened. He tugged at the reins, urging his horse to move faster. "Don't look back. Keep moving."
Liara had only learned to ride horses in less than two days, after theoretical teaching from Ren, so she found it difficult to move.
Ren didn't move ahead; instead, he helped her by dragging the reins and forcing her horse to ride after his.
The sound of horses galloping towards them grew louder and louder by the second. Even though Ren tried his hardest not to panic, his heartbeat raced.
Luckily, he had secured his wife and daughter beforehand, sending them away to a nearby village where his wife came from.
Now, he just had to save Liara and her people. Even if he died after that, without seeing his family again, he would be able to rest in peace.
"Over there!"
