"We're losing the war, Commander!" one soldier cried, his voice shaking with fear.
"Where are the additional troops that Emperor Kairos promised?" another demanded, his tone laced with desperation.
"Commander, why don't we call back our soldiers until they arrive? We can't stop the Rebel Emperor unless our Emperor intervenes personally!"
Inside one of the enemy watchtowers, panic and despair gripped the Imperial officials as they watched their forces crumble under the might of the Rebel Emperor.
The watchtower commander furrowed his brows, his patience wearing thin. "Shut up, all of you!" he barked. "Don't act like cowards. I've received word that Emperor Kairos will personally lead the reinforcements this time. So quit your whining!"
The officials exchanged relieved glances, their panic subsiding.
"Really? Thank the heavens!" one exclaimed.
