Art style: Cinematic Neo-Noir.
A shadowy goat trail winds through steep, wooded mountain slopes above the coast. A long line of Persian soldiers moves stealthily along the hidden path under fading dusk light, torches glinting. Dense pines cast deep shadows across the rocky terrain. Wide high-angle shot conveying secrecy and dread. The mood is sinister and foreboding, in deep forest greens, dusky purples, and flickering orange torchlight.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Cinematic Neo-Noir" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Cinematic Neo-Noir". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Cinematic Neo-Noir" idiom, not in any other medium.
