The new year's eve of the 905th year of Black Iron Calendar arrived too early. After returning to Blackwater Base for 3 days, the last day of the 904th year of Black Iron Calendar had slid away unconsciously...
After heavy snow overnight, many provinces in Peacewest Military Region had been covered with snow. The east side and the west side of Helan Mountain Range were both covered in heavy snow. Even the flowing Weishui River had been frozen with thick ice.
Due to the dull weather, people couldn't see the Faerie-Dragon Star that rose from the east. However, the loud drumbeats that drifted from Xuanyuan Fortress last night cheered these Hua knights up and reminded them of the arrival of a new year.
Besides knights who executed routine inspection and performed tasks, all the knights in Xuanyuan Fortress and the other bases welcomed a rare 2-day leave since they entered the Western Theater of Operations.
