LIKE PIECES IN A CHESS GAME, the cities along the coast fell one by one under the relentless march of Jieun and Riki's forces. Their smaller armies, led by the loyal knights Jay, Jake, and Sunghoon, wreaked havoc and struck fear into the hearts of those who stood against them.
As they moved swiftly through each city, a mixture of fear and relief gripped the inhabitants. While there were instances of bloodshed, the commoners, burdened by heavy taxes under Jungwon and Lord Kim's rule, found solace in Jieun's arrival. Whispers of hope spread like wildfire, as tales of justice and liberation from the oppressive regime reached the ears of the people.
They sang the Song of Jieun, a melody that carried the weight of a nation's aspirations. It spoke of her courage, her vision, and her indomitable spirit. With each verse, the people bestowed upon her a title befitting her remarkable journey.
Jieun, known as the Dragon's Heart, led her forces with determination, fuelled by the fire of justice and the desire to restore balance to the realm. The Song of Jieun proclaimed her as a symbol of hope, a leader who had emerged from the shadows to guide the people toward a new era.
The streets echoed with the chants of support and gratitude, as Jieun and Riki's forces were hailed as liberators. Those who openly opposed Jieun's claim were quickly silenced, their dissent quelled by the swift and decisive actions of her forces. The common folk, who had long suffered under the rule of Jungwon and Lord Kim, found new hope and dared to dream of a brighter future under Jieun's leadership.
With each city captured, Jieun and Riki's influence grew stronger. The conquered territories became strategic bases, securing their foothold in the East and facilitating their ultimate goal of reclaiming the throne. The momentum of their campaign was unstoppable, fueled by the support of the people who yearned for change and restoration.
As Jieun and Riki's forces continued their advance, the final destination, the Old Citadel, loomed on the horizon. The ancient stronghold held symbolic significance, a bastion of power that had long stood against Jieun's rightful claim. It was here, within the walls of the Old Citadel, that the culmination of their struggle awaited — a reckoning that would determine the fate of the East and solidify Jieun's path to the throne.
