Ride Out with the Rangers

Nalant also felt this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The enemy rangers appeared in small units, making it perfect for tempering Quick and the others.

After all, if they encountered the Northern Principality's main army, their safety would become impossible to control. One wrong move, and his little cavalry unit of barely twenty men might be wiped out entirely.
