(First of all: horses cannot mantain a gallop for an entire day, or even a few minutes. A trot sure, but a gallop, no. A horse, mantaining a sustainable march, would travel at five miles per hour. Second of all, even if we go with the Whiterun being a week's march from Riverwood, you still can't reduce seven days to one. Going through rough terrain can significantly reduce speed, but not by a factor of seven. And no army is so efficent it can mobilise in less than a day, particularly in an enviroment without telecommunications.)

(About Luciun hating the poor: he doesn't oppress them, he just holds them in low regard. He sees the benefits of helping them and keeping them healthy and fed, in a similar way that he thinks cattle should be healthy and fed. Not uncommon in the medieval society Elder Scrolls is (loosely) based on.)

"Your archers will be powerless against mangonels," Luciun said. "Unless you surrender, this battle is inevitable. I beseech you to stand down and accept defeat."
