If we can just buy some time, Hamlet isn't without warriors capable of confronting the Warwolves! Grendel, it could be said, had taken a great risk to protect the farm. Now, they could only trust her.
Outside Hamlet Town, on an open field, two teams of Cavalry in regular clothes were driving their horses to charge at each other, sabers wrapped in cloth in their hands. Despite the wrapping, the hits would still SMACK and leave trails of blood on their bodies, which wouldn't fade for several days without proper care.
Although muskets and cannons had appeared, Cavalry still remained the dominant military force in the world, at least until firearms evolved with innovations like rifling and breech-loading that improved accuracy, rate of fire, and range.
It wasn't firearms that truly ended the era of Cavalry on the battlefield but vehicles like automobiles and tanks.
