On a fateful morning, the tranquility of the kingdom was shattered by the sound of war drums echoing across the hills. Reports flooded in that a rival army had crossed the borders, launching a full-scale invasion. The time for preparation had ended; the battle was upon them.
Emperor Wu summoned the Crimson Shadows to the war room, where maps and strategic plans were laid out before them. "We must mobilize our forces immediately," he declared, his voice steady but laced with urgency. "We will not let them breach our defenses."
Xia stepped forward, her resolve unwavering. "We need to deploy scouts to gather intel on their movements. Knowing their strengths and weaknesses will give us the advantage we need."
Lin Feng nodded. "I can lead a team to assess their formation and tactics. We'll need to know how to counter their advances effectively."
General Liang took charge of organizing the kingdom's military forces. "We'll establish defensive positions along the border and prepare for a counteroffensive. Every soldier must be ready to fight for their home."
