Chapter 696: Deploying Troops
As the sun began to rise over the battlefield, a tense atmosphere enveloped the camp. Soldiers were bustling about, preparing for the upcoming confrontation. The clattering of armor and the murmur of voices filled the air, each soldier focused on their role in the impending clash.
In the command tent, the leaders of the alliance gathered around a large map spread across the table. The dim light flickered as torches flicked against the canvas, casting shadows on their determined faces.
"From what we've gathered, the enemy is planning a major offensive," the general stated, pointing to a section of the map. "We need to reposition our troops strategically to counter their advancements."
Whispers of agreement rippled through the room as the commanders exchanged glances. Each one understood the gravity of the situation.
"We should fortify the eastern flank," suggested a young commander, his eyes scanning the map with intensity. "If we can hold that position, we can repel their forces effectively."
The general nodded, considering the proposal. "And what of the cavalry? They could serve as a distraction while we fortify our positions."
A seasoned veteran chimed in, "The cavalry must be deployed at the right moment. If we send them in too early, they'll be overwhelmed. Timing is crucial."
After a lengthy discussion, a plan began to take shape. The leaders marked their troop movements on the map, outlining their strategy with precision. Each commander left the tent, their hearts heavy with the weight of responsibility yet filled with a sense of purpose.
As they stepped outside, the sun had fully risen, illuminating the camp in a warm glow. The soldiers readied themselves, their faces set with determination.
With a final glance at the horizon, the general rallied his troops, his voice booming across the field. "Today, we fight not just for our lives, but for our freedom and for the future of our people! Stand firm, and we will prevail!"
Cheers erupted from the soldiers, their spirits lifted by their leader's words. The time for battle was drawing near, and each soldier was prepared to give their all.
As the enemy forces approached, tension crackled in the air. The stage was set for a confrontation that would determine the fate of many. Each side braced for the clash, knowing that only one would emerge victorious.
