Chapter 112: Throwing a egg to a rock
Edmund watched the enemy cavalry intently, his heart still pounding in his chest, but this time, a smile began to creep onto his face. It was a small, tight smile—the kind worn by those who have stared into the abyss, accepted their fate, and now find every moment after to be a curious gift.
At first, just one rider moved, breaking from the ranks as if drawn by some irresistible force. Edmund couldn't tell if it was a proud nobleman looking for glory, or perhaps a mercenary hungry for loot, already eager to claim his share.
Does it matter? Edmund thought, his smile widening slightly. One fool is all it takes.@@novelbin@@
The knight galloped ahead, armor flashing in the sunlight as his horse kicked up dust. For a moment, he seemed like a lone predator, eager to snatch an early prize. But then, as if his impulse was contagious, another rider followed. Then another, and another, until the whole formation began to move like a rolling tide, sweeping forward to maintain their tight order.
Edmund's smile remained, though his pulse quickened. There it is, he thought. They're coming. Whether for glory or greed, they're coming.
What do you think?
