The neatly dressed knights emerged, clad in well-maintained, full metal armor gleaming with metallic luster. Each donned a surcoat to distinguish their identity, commanding their high horses surrounded by escorts, exuding a majestic presence.
The ordinary soldiers watched the knights' figures with growing ambition and yearning, they too dreamed of achieving greatness and becoming knights.
Onlookers felt their hearts swell with excitement; with such powerful knights, what could possibly defeat them!
The Baron was not skilled at war, but he was adept at misleading the common people.
Although the situation outside was dire, news was tightly controlled, and most of the populace was unaware of what was happening outside; they only knew that the advantage was ours!
However, the knights appeared very serious, while the Baron returned to the manor after watching the troops depart, his public appearance of defiance gone, his expression filled with anxiety and unease.
