Under the bright sun, a gentle breeze blew.
CLIP-CLOP, CLIP-CLOP, CLIP-CLOP...
"HYAH!"
Two women in black riding attire galloped swiftly across the fields outside the city on two bay horses.
The woman in the lead was in her early twenties, young and pretty, with a neat, short haircut. Her figure was slender, and she had a dashing air about her.
The woman a step behind was in her forties, a gracefully aging woman with a well-defined figure.
As she followed closely behind the lead rider, a faint golden Spiritual Light would flash in her eyes from time to time, scanning her surroundings. She only relaxed slightly when the tall city gates appeared ahead.
As the two women approached the city gates, they tugged lightly on their reins. Their mounts, understanding the command, began to slow their pace.
Soldiers stood guard at the city gates. One of them, a new recruit on his first day, saw the two women preparing to ride into the city.
