The morning air was crisp, the cool breeze blowing south by southwest with a clear blue sky and the sun beaming down upon Jin as he rode out to the line of commanders at his disposal. "Sir, all troops are at the ready." The lieutenant bowed his head to Jin, who was in fact the general of his nations entire armies. The horse he rode wore black armor gilded with gold, his armor matching. Jin held the reins in one hand, his ancient tome of black magic in the other. "Stand at the ready. We march in twenty minutes." Sliding to his feet from the saddle, he walked over to the makeshift table the commanders had gathered at to formulate strategy. "Morning, commanders." All five bowed their heads, the closest of which responded first, "General Feras, we've received word that General Adams forces march from the east bank of Seris River. She seeks to flank us." His old friend that he'd grown up with, Amy, was at the head of the opposing army.
"We'll have plenty of time to form our lines and avoid that." Jin nodded as he spoke to the commander, still holding that ancient black tome covered in arcane markings. He pointed with his free hand to the map upon the table, continuing, "In the meantime, I want scouts sent here and here." The locations were a bit further east of their enemy's supposed location, "I don't want surprises and I don't want any more to die than necessary." The commanders nodded, one of them calling to a lieutenant who rushed off to a scout battalion after receiving his orders. "She's smart, so she's going to foresee us marching from here. Are the siege weapons ready?" The commander of the siege battalion nodded, "Sir. Say the word, and you'll have catapults raining death upon our enemies." Jin hummed his satisfaction, nodding and returning to his horse then pulling his sabre from it's sheath and pointing it skyward, "For the land of Natul, and our divine King Denarius. Forward!!"
