After nightfall, the temperature began to drop.

The nights in the North Territory during spring, are fairly cold.

In the camp, the soldiers lit bonfires to warm themselves, boil water, and cook.

At the same time, they also began to chat amongst themselves.

What their conversation centered on was of course, the daytime meeting between the two Marquises, Marquis Garcia's whip, and Marquis Charles's tears.

Knight Colin was discreetly mingling among these soldiers, listening to their casual banter.

Then he suddenly discovered that there was an unexpected shift in the soldiers' attitudes towards Marquis Charles.

Before today, these soldiers, especially those who had fled in defeat from the Mirror Lake battlefield, had an extremely negative attitude towards Marquis Charles.

They despised, hated, and scorned him.

Such an infamous reputation was expected for a defeated army commander.
