CHAPTER FORTY
Lloyd was extremely concerned for his friend so he sprinted over to the building, to help him.
It was almost totally dark when he reached the building.
Lloyd saw that Orren and the five other horsemen weren't far off, and as a matter of fact, were so near that s he climbed up the stairs inside the building, he could hear Orren's order to his men, to bring him the head of the enemy leader.
Lloyd couldn't let this happen.
He finally made it to the balcony and he peered through the gaps in the rock railing as the horsemen dismounted and headed towards the entrance, below.
Lloyd couldn't bring Boyce to consciousness. Boyce had been hurt and
Lloyd knew that he was passed out because of the pain.
Boyce's entire left shoulder was bleeding through his armour.
Lloyd had to get Boyce back to the mansion and have him bandaged up there. First, however, he had to make the squad below him less of a threat. He drew his gun, leaned over the railing and started to fire down on them. He managed to kill two of the men but the rest retreated with Orren, out of range from Lloyd's weapon.
When they became calmed and after they regrouped, they charged the building but then quickly turned and retreated back to Halls.
