Warlords: Strategic Conquest
Throngs of shouting supporters energize your army as it leaves for the countryside. Your army stays in high spirits as it marches towards the steppes of Mongolia. Soldiers placate their hunger with white rice and small game, picking the occasional cherry tree lining the road.
Your spies report that the Mongolians still have not made preparations against your army. Their permanent state of disorganization means they have no chance of mounting any defenses whatsoever. You thank your diligent spies for the information and continue on your way. Your spies have never let you down.
The winding north road becomes a dirt path as it passes through the center of Clearbrook Forest. Suddenly, your second in command slumps over on his horse. You look over your shoulder and see an arrow through his chest. Looking behind you, you see more arrows flying toward your troops. You ascertain that the arrows are coming from the dense forest on both sides of the narrow path your troops are marching on. You cannot see where the enemy is however.
