The remaining steppe riders were responsible for protecting the military formation, with their main objective being to guard Henry.
Once Henry's army spotted the long column of torches, they immediately halted their advance and concealed themselves in the woods.
The soldiers concealed themselves in the night, seeming to melt into their surroundings as they awaited the approaching enemy.
Henry sat on his horse, his gaze piercing the darkness, observing the Mercenaries' movements. As the enemy gradually drew near, he could see the faint glow of their torches flickering in the distance.
The soldiers held their breath and tightened their grip on their weapons, their eyes locked on the approaching enemy.
The archers tightened their bowstrings, the infantrymen adjusted their shields, and the Cavalry gently stroked their warhorses' manes, calming their spirits.
