Enemy soldiers fell in droves, like wheat being cut down.
Crimson blood stained the valley floor.
The soldiers of the Big Sword Brigade followed closely behind, like tigers descending the mountain, unstoppable.
The broadswords in their hands gleamed coldly in the moonlight.
Every swing takes away a precious life.
Although the enemy forces were numerous, they were caught off guard.
