[Vernge County]
[Artemis]
The midsummer sun baked the earth, with only the azure river waters providing a rare sense of coolness.
Gentle blue smoke wafted over the river, while the lush reeds gave off a rich, fresh scent.
On the serene and majestic banks of the Anya River, there were... naked young men everywhere.
Considering that the troops hadn't had a single day of rest since setting out, Montaigne, the Civil Guard Officer, waved his hand grandly and granted everyone half a day off.
The soldiers, finally getting some personal time, left the camp and headed to the river to wash clothes and bathe, under the envious glares of the unlucky ones on duty.
Everyone knew that as long as the Blood Wolf subdued the remaining towns of Vernge County, the Iron Peak County Infantry Regiment would return in triumph.
Thus, the Anya River was filled with laughter and joy.
