Chapter 1606

The smoke of war gradually dissipated, but the hearts of Gu Yi and Zhao Yun were not calm because of this. They stood at the peak of victory but felt an unprecedented emptiness and confusion. Those comrades who once fought side by side with them were now either sleeping underground or disabled and retired. They could not help but ask themselves, what was all this for?

At the celebration banquet, Gu Yi raised his glass and said to Zhao Yun, "General Zhao, although we won, the price paid was too great. Sometimes, I can't help but think, what is the significance of this war?"

Zhao Yun was silent for a moment and also raised his glass to clink with Gu Yi. "General Gu, war is never a beautiful thing. It only brings pain and sacrifice. But we must believe that everything we do is to guard this land and the people. The spirits of those departed comrades will forever inspire us to move forward."

Gu Yi nodded, a trace of firmness flashing in his eyes. "You are right; we cannot let their sacrifice be wasted in vain. We must continue to work hard to create a peaceful future for this land and the people."

The two looked at each other and smiled, drinking the wine in their cups in one gulp. They knew that although the war had ended, new challenges and missions were still waiting for them.
