Chapter 145 Rest under the Tree

The setting sun cast a dim glow, and the sound of a military whistle rose from the construction site outside Longka.

Soldiers and craftsmen dispersed from their posts, each returning to camp to rest.

By the riverbank, Leon extinguished the flames on his broken sword and, dragging his slightly weary body, came to sit under a massive, sprawling tree for a short rest.
