[A very traditional Western-style epic fantasy, I personally think it is a bit suitable for the Internet era of 20 years ago]
A young general, desperately trying to protect the empire
However, a decadent country will inevitably burn out its last afterglow.
When the cavalry from the ice fields shattered the plains of the empire
When the shadow of the Southern Cross looms over the sea
The long night is coming
The general sent away his beloved girl
draw the sword
With the last warriors of the empire
Guarding the last afterglow of the empire
(No magic, no defiance, just a serious fantasy)
