The thunderous sound of hooves approaching, and seeing that the riders showed no signs of slowing down, Alan's mind raced through the worst possible scenarios. With urgency in his voice, he bellowed a warning to his comrades, "Watch out!! Raise your shields!!"

As the two groups collided, the air was filled with the sound of clashing metal and the heart-wrenching screams of pain. It was a chaotic and brutal melee.
