"The Northern Kingdom has fallen! The final rebel, Jacob Rosas, died unexpectedly while surrendering his arms!"
"Extra! Extra! Lord Ramp declared the collapse of the North was a choice of history, of the people..."
"Marshal Dolores gave a congratulatory speech, praising the soldiers for their bravery, showcasing the might of the Ashen Kingdom, and the spirit of the Red Dragon's Kin..."
The newsboys shouted on the streets, which were crowded with people.
The war had ended.
The Ashen Kingdom was celebrating nationwide with fervor.
Despite this, work could not be stopped, and real rest did not exist.
After the war, soldiers spent lavishly, squandering their spoils, leading to a surge in domestic demand. Orders flowed in like snowflakes—all factories even started working overtime for large-scale production.
This not only brought exhaustion but far higher pay than usual.
Prosperity was everywhere.
People were both suffering and rejoicing.
