The darkness before dawn had yet to retreat, and the basin lay like a closed giant bowl, quietly waiting for its prey to fall inside.
Five thousand fully armed Heavy Knights charged down the slope at Kaelin's roar.
It was a torrent of force that could not be ignored, with lances and longswords held high, like a steel forest advancing forward.
Kaelin rode at the forefront, his cloak billowing behind him.
He could feel his blood roaring in his ears, his chest filled with an almost suffocating excitement.
Crystal Rock City lay ahead; as long as they charged through, the heart of the Federation would stop beating this morning.
"Accelerate!" His order was swallowed by the battle cries.
"For the Empire!"
Five thousand knights roared in unison, their voices echoing repeatedly in the basin, as if trying to tear the night sky apart.
However, when the force reached the lowest point of the basin, nothing expected appeared.
