A couple of miles from the Zizhu Prefecture army, General Sun sat atop a pure black steed, his gaze firm and commanding as he surveyed the landscape ahead.
"How long will it take for us to reach their border?" he inquired of the commanders riding beside him.
"At this rate, we should arrive at their border in three to four days," one of the commanders responded promptly.
Suddenly, from the distance, five soldiers rode their steeds swiftly toward the army, kicking up clouds of dust in their wake.
They arrived in front of General Sun and dismounted from their horses, their faces grave with urgency.
"General, the enemy cavalry are approaching us as we speak," one of the recon squad reported, his voice tinged with concern.
"How many are they?" one of the commanders asked calmly, though the tension in the air was palpable.
Even though they were taken aback by the enemy's swift response and their apparent courage, the commanders maintained their composure.
To them, it was rely another challenge to overco.
"Twenty to forty thousand, sir," the soldier replied, causing a collective gasp to ripple through the ranks.
"What!" exclaid one of the commanders, his expression shifting from calm assurance to deep concern.
The gravity of the situation was clear—if the enemy's cavalry numbered in the tens of thousands, what formidable force lay behind them?
"Dispatch the Blue Cavalry," General Sun commanded, his voice cutting through the tension like a blade.
"Aye!" responded one of the commanders with a solemn voice, imdiately relaying the order.
In a matter of monts, twenty thousand cavalry separated from the main army, their steeds thundering forward to et the approaching enemy.
Commander Mu, at the helm of the Blue Cavalry units, radiated anticipation and pride as he led his troops into battle.
"Rember, we must kill them as quickly as possible to show General Sun we're the strongest unit," he shouted.
His words echoing across the field as he spurred his black and white striped horse onward.
The tension in the air was palpable as the soldiers surged forward, their weapons drawn and their hearts pounding with adrenaline-fueled determination.
Suddenly, the thunderous reverberation of thousands of horse hooves echoed from the distance, signaling the approach of the enemy.
In the distance, a line of horses erged, initially no more than a speck on the horizon, but steadily growing larger as they drew nearer.
The two sides locked eyes for the first ti, the anticipation hanging heavy in the air as they braced themselves for the impending clash.
The fate of the battlefield hung in the balance, and the mont of truth had finally arrived.
The first commander of the Celestial Forte cavalry unit smiled, his face filled with anticipation.
After their battle with the Blood Whisperer, they had been confined to skirmishes and minor conflicts in the barren lands.
Now, finally, they had the opportunity for a true test of their skills.
"Now we can stretch these old bones a bit," he thought to himself with a grin.
"Triangle Formation!" he bellowed, his voice ringing out across the field.
Instantly, the montum of their horses surged, their hooves pounding against the earth as they picked up speed.
In perfect synchronization, the cavalry unit shifted into formation, forming a tight triangle with precision and grace.
Commander Mu was stunned by the speed and coordination of the Celestial Forte army.

Yet, as he watched their movents unfold before him, he found himself at a loss for words, humbled by their skill and determination.
The sight of the Celestial Forte cavalry unit charging forward with unwavering resolve sent a shiver down his spine.
He forcefully swallowed the lumps in his throat to calm his nerves, his heart pounding with anticipation as he surveyed the battlefield before him.

"Charge! Kill without hesitation!" he shouted, pointing his sword toward the enemy forces.

The wind seed to still, and every sound faded into the background.
The First Commander locked his gaze on Commander Mu, a playful grin curling at the corner of his lips.
It was a challenge, a silent dare to see who would erge victorious in this clash of titans.
When they were only a couple of ters from each other, the First Commander shouted, "Ten minutes!"
At once, the Celestial Forte army set their Spirit Comms tirs to a ten-minute countdown.
One of the upgrades of the Military Spirit Comms was the countdown clock, an essential tool for both training and battle strategy.
With their preparations complete, Commander Mu gave the final order, his voice ringing out with determination.
"Kill!" he commanded, and with a thunderous roar.
