The war came to an abrupt halt... It was a very laughable and illogical situation. Neither side even conducted any degree of peace negotiations, nor was there any written agreement for the exchange of benefits. The war just stopped naturally.
The Duchy tentatively withdrew their troops, and the Empire did not advance.
On the surface, this war resulted in heavy losses for both sides... Due to sudden changes, the Empire's nobles betrayed one after another. The losses and deaths among officials and the populace were countless.
As for the Duchy, they completely lost the elders of the Caesar Duchy within their country, directly losing a faction with considerable strength.
But in reality, both sides profited massively, and only the civilians were truly hurt.
...
The civilians... specifically referring to those without extraordinary blood and no chance to become professionals, their value was very small, so it was as if no loss at all.
This was the sorrow of the Extraordinary World.
