He was held in the front line, dealt with three Zodasian's soldiers on his armor horse. Without second thought he ran his horse to the eye catching girl.
"I told you to bring her away from here!!" He was raging with anger when he approached Yoda in front of the horse stables.
Yoda was trying to cut open the padlock.
He startled when he heard someone snapped at him. He turned around and found Lieutenant Utara on his sturdy horse stared at him with a layer of anger on his eyes.
He knelt directly admitted his mistakes. He knew that he couldn't carelessly ignore his viper order.
Senja, who saw Utara berated Yoda tugged his trousers impatiently. Feeling there was something tugging his trousers he looked down only to saw Senja was pointing the padlock.
Utara alight from his horse. With brows knitted, he asked "You want me to open the padlock?"
Senja nodded vigorously. She was pointing to the dozens horses and to the soldiers who were retreating.
Her means was clear. She wanted to release all the horses as the way to escaped from here. If the soldiers were perceptive enough they would grab the horses and took this opportunity.
"Warned them." Utara said to Yoda who was still knelt on the ground.

"What happen with your voice?" He paused for a moment, gazing at Senja who kept silence with pale face "Don't tell me you are very scare until you lost your voice?" A silly smile appeared on his handsome face.
Senja glared at him when she heard his teasing voice. You prefer for me to lose my mind instead?
"Get on the horse."
Senja walked to the side of the horse and trying to climbed up its big and tall body, she stepped on the ladle but wasn't able to pull herself up, perhaps because she was too tired both psychically and mentally, she felt her body turned onto jelly.
Utara shook his head helplessly. Then he said apologetically "Sorry…" He grabbed Senja's waist and pulled her up.
After made sure she was steady on the horse, he drew his sword and with one strike the padlock split to two then he kicked open the stables door. All horses that rummaging inside rushed out from the door.
