Chapter 433 - The First Battle Victory's Night

The camp was alive with celebration, the golden glow of countless campfires flickering like stars against the darkening sky. Soldiers laughed and cheered, their voices carrying through the air as they basked in the euphoria of their first victory. Hearty meals of roasted meat and fresh bread were passed around, their aroma mingling with the earthy scent of the forest. Dice games were in full swing, with men betting their modest spoils of war, their faces lit by both firelight and the rare freedom of a night without immediate danger. Music flowed from a small group of soldiers who had unearthed instruments, their tunes weaving joyfully through the camp.
