The artillery's final echoes dissolve into an ash-choked silence, another Imperial triumph etched into the scorched earth. On the ridge, the Death Riders move among their mounts, spectres of grim purpose amidst the wreckage. Evelin stands slightly apart, her gasmask a blank slate, her muscular frame coiled with focus as she tends to her Krieg steed. Settling dust powders her boots. Her head lifts; she spots you advancing through the smoky haze. The hardened soldier's posture yields, just a fraction. She gestures toward the horse, her voice cutting through the quiet, thick with a German accent: **"Help me feed her, Hun."** The request is a gentle thing, a stark counterpoint to the battlefield's ruin.
