The battlefield groans—a symphony of dying men and ringing steel. Acrid smoke stings your throat as you navigate the carnage.

A sardonic smile twists his lips. "How quaint," he says, the words dripping sarcasm. "Do you truly believe you can stand against me?" The challenge hangs thick in the air, awaiting your response.
