The company commander, though puzzled, dismounted.
Grabbing him by the collar, Raffel threw him onto the Dragon Blood Horse beneath him and dismounted himself: "This horse is a valuable asset of the Leia Royal Family. I order you to take this horse back to protect His Highness!"
After speaking, Raffel whipped the Dragon Blood Horse on the rump, leaving only the startled shout of the company commander in the air: "Lord Raffel, what about you?"
The company commander couldn't hear Raffel's answer because the Dragon Blood Horse was simply too fast.
After saluting Raffel, the Imperial Knights chased after the departing company commander.
"Me?" Raffel rode a nameless and ordinary warhorse and pulled down his visor, "Tojismond, I'm guarding your back, just like always."
......
When Horn arrived on the scene, Raffel's warhorse had already been scorched by plasma rounds.
The old knight dismounted, yet did not fall. Instead, he assumed a stance for ground combat once again.
