Second Year of Great Xia, April 28th
As night fell, a large group of people streamed out from the gates of the Wushuang Giant Stone Camp. They were all armed, with a few wearing iron armor. Upon walking out, they looked at the people of Great Xia with eyes filled with gratitude and emotion.
In the crowd, someone was the first to turn back and bow towards the iron gate. Seeing this, the others followed suit and respectfully bowed before leaving.
Inside the iron gate, Qiu Peng observed the actions of the Long Mountain and Zhaoyang families from the Earth-digging Realm, a trace of a smile emerged on his face as he spoke to Xia Chuan with a light chuckle:
"After all, people's hearts are made of flesh. The leader was right; these people have been saved twice by Great Xia. Now we've returned all their weapons and equipment and let them all leave. One way or another, they'll somewhat remember the favor from Great Xia."
"It's more than just a little..."
