Overwhelming
Khan's uncompromising behavior set the army's hierarchy straight. No one loudly declared it, but everyone knew. Khan was the strongest and most important piece of the battlefield.
Naoo and Khan continued that domineering advance until they crossed all the soldiers. Naoo retook the lead, walking until the two reached the appointed location. The Thilku had to gain ground that day, so their starting point was beyond the gorge the previous big battle created.
The army slowly accumulated behind Khan and Naoo while the entire area darkened. The night was arriving, clearing doubts Khan didn't need to question anymore. The previous call had happened during the afternoon to limit the number of opponents, but the Empire was ready to go all-out now.
