"Have you heard? The Dark Cavalry is nearby and they'll send someone for us soon!"
"Dark Cavalry? Really?"
"Of course it's real! I saw a scout from the Dark Cavalry enter our camp last night. Miss Vera even greeted him personally!"
"So, are we safe then?"
"Of course, with the Dark Cavalry nearby, do you think the Trolls have the guts to attack?"
...
Similar conversations were taking place in every corner of the camp.
The tense atmosphere vanished entirely, replaced by a sense of excitement, of surviving against the odds.
It seemed as if the term 'Dark Cavalry' possesses some magical power. Their presence nearby represented absolute safety.
The reason was simple.
The Dark Cavalry was the most formidable force of the Empire in the North Territory!
Yes, the most formidable indeed, unmatched by any other.
The troop was not very large; it only consisted of fifty thousand men.
But, it was an army made entirely of cavalrymen!
