there are no evidence the outrider knights were sent to conquer lothric, if anything they act more like mercenary guards there. considering the amount of Lothric Knights and Winged Knights corpses lining up the streets in lothic, there are no Outrider Knights bodies, indicating that no battle took place between them and Lothric's soldiers, also considering the postions of Vordt, The Dancer, and the two Outrider Knights, they all seem to be guarding something, Vordt guards the entrance/exit of the High Wall, the Dancer guards the entrance to Lothric Castle, one Outrider Knight guards what appears to be a treasure/loot room with like 4-5 chests, and the final Outrider Knight guards the sorcery Soul Stream.

simply put they appear to be sent there to protect Lothric and prevent the Ashen One from getting to him.
