Noon, Imperial border, a plain about a hundred kilometers away from the Holy City, tens of thousands of Imperial cavalry clad in full silver armor were arrayed in battle readiness.
Leading them, Cardinal Nix looked towards those present and spoke solemnly,
"Gentlemen, according to the scouts' reports, two cities on the Empire's border have already been conquered by the Wizards. Those demonic minions ruthlessly slaughter and harm the Lord's believers, and now they have penetrated deep into the Empire's hinterland, preparing to spread pain, disaster, and death throughout the continent!"
"The apocalypse has indeed arrived! And behind us lies the Holy City; we have no path of retreat."
Under Nix's grievous exposition, tens of thousands of cavalry could not help but show fear, but soon Nix's voice grew more uplifting, resonating in everyone's ears like a great bell.
