Arthur's bane how absurd! Merlin had enough  chance to save Arthur this episode, all those wasted moments they didn't use to travel. If they had left immediately after they knew about the sword and put Arthur to sleep like they once did with Gwen (but now with magic and not a potion). Merlin could have summoned the dragon as soon as they lost the horses and I'm sure the 'most powerful' wizard ever can find more ways to transport Arthur than just by foot.

It was very clear the writers didn't want them to have a chance from the beginning.

Perfect acting, though
