The horde made swift progress, and by the third day, it had come within sight of the great city of Eastwood. Urgon had seen it before, but to many of his people, it was a symbol of Human might. Adding to the scene was the large army of several hundred that the earl had assembled. Definitely not as large as the Orc host, but still impressive. Urgon stared at Human warriors as he and his friends marched past.
“They are an imposing sight,” noted Urzath.
“Yes,” replied Urgon. “Even though they are fewer in number, they make up for it in armour. Had we such protection, we would be unstoppable.”
A group of cavalrymen rode past, grabbing their attention, if only for the moment.
“I should not like to meet the likes of those in battle,” said Urzath. “I wonder if our Ancestors ever rode horses?”
