The war, at long last, had finally stopped.
The delegations from both sides had spent months haggling at the negotiating table; as for the specific details, a small fry like Fang Hao naturally had no clue.
In any case, the final result was that the Great Qin Empire withdrew its troops, and the Mingling Empire tacitly accepted the small advantages the other side had seized at Black Wind Canyon. It was a mutual step back, a temporary cessation of hostilities.
Once the siege of Iron Rock City was lifted, the tense atmosphere dissipated instantly, like a receding tide.
The garrison in the city took time to rest and reorganize, or swapped shifts as needed.
The three Nascent Soul Great Experts and the elite imperial troops who had come from the capital didn't stay long before returning to the capital.
After all, the capital needed them to hold the fort; they couldn't just keep wandering outside.
