The residents of Green Valley Town, trembling in fear, discovered that the "Rebel army" was far more amicable than they imagined. Not only did they refrain from looting and burning, but they also did not engage in forced buying or selling.
The officers who procured supplies from the town's merchants spoke gently and amicably, even settling accounts with real silver coins—more reasonable than when the official army was present.
The mayor of Green Valley Town proactively gathered a batch of wine, meat, and flour and delivered it personally, along with several town representatives, to the camp outside the town.
Having won the battle and enjoyed an extra meal, the atmosphere in and around the Iron Peak County New Army's camp was filled with joy—except for the Central Army Tent.
Inside the Central Army Tent, there was a deathly silence.
The guards and clerks didn't even dare to breathe deeply, because Winters Montagne was contemplating the map.
