they close in on the livestock, their herders and escort

the herders manage to move the animals forward as the escort hold off the raiding warriors ...

the raiding warriors get very close to the animals ....

but the escort gets the upper hand over the raiders and keep them at bay ...a couple of raiders try to drive off the goats ...

but have to turn to deal with some warriors who have come out to help from the settlement ....

the escort is still holding back the other raiders ....

one of the raiders attempts to attack the cow herder, who as the warrior rushes in, dodges and with a well aimed blow of his herding stick knocks him out cold...
