The enemy forces initiated their advance towards Elvendom, braving the unending labyrinth of trees and formidable landscape. A contingent of soldiers was designated as the vanguard to lead the way.
From the expansive array of troops stationed beyond the forest's fringes, a select ten thousand were meticulously identified.
These chosen few bore the responsibility of spearheading the march towards Elvendom, shouldering the mission to clear a path for the main force and establish a crucial encampment within close proximity.
An air of arrogance surrounded these soldiers as they thought of the main force that was nearly a hundred thousand soldiers, stationed at the forest's outskirts.
Despite the fact that the full-scale invasion had not yet commenced, their demeanor carried an air of assuredness, hinting at a silent confidence in an impending victory.
