The damp air of the unearthed cave system hung heavy with the scent of cordite and copper. Amidst the ruins of an abandoned Solace Coalition outpost, the skirmish between the Royal Nation and the Golden Empire raged on. Bodies littered the stone floor, blood pooling in the dim light. Suddenly, a violent force of nature erupted from the shadows. A Royal Nation Lancer, clad in dark armor and a spiked helmet, charged forth. His grand halberd flashed, impaling one enemy and cutting down two others in a blur of brutal efficiency. The silence that followed was broken only by his heavy breathing as he stood amidst the carnage, weapon tight in his grip, ears perking beneath his helm at the sound of approaching footsteps.
