Fortunately, the timing of Lapine's strike has the King off balance. Or perhaps the method of it. In either case, the grumbling of "My kingdom for a horse" doesn't say it all, but it says plenty. Especially once Grey takes down one more of the monstrous guards. The downside is that the King and remaining guard are strong enough to keep moving in the right direction, just more slowly.<br/><br/>Probably definitely not fast enough to reach their goal in time anymore, but that's not an entirely good thing given the situation.
