Bab 34: Suprise Attack on Elstrand

The sun barely peeked over the horizon, casting long shadows through the trees as Kael's forces prepared themselves.

A heavy silence hung in the air, broken only by the occasional rustle of leaves or the distant whinny of a horse.

Three hundred of Kael's finest soldiers stood ready, their armor catching faint glimmers of the dawn.

This was no training exercise or simple patrol-this was a march for justice and dominance.

Kael rode at the front of the army, his chest tight with simmering anger.

The arrogance of the Elstrand family, sending troops into his territory and injuring his men, was an insult he could not let stand.

His knuckles whitened as he gripped the reins of his horse, his sharp gaze fixed on the path ahead.

The Elstrands thought they could push him around, but today, he would show them the price of such arrogance.
