"Yanmen Pass is in your hands!"
The entire Feathered Forest Guard did not linger long at Yanmen Pass. Aside from leaving behind Second Cheng, the Colonel of the Shooting Sound Camp, with a detachment of Shooting Sound and Central Rampart soldiers to garrison the pass, the rest of the Feathered Forest Guard began a full retreat. After all, they had fought for far too long in this campaign and needed to return to the Beiye Royal Court to rest and regroup.

Just like that, another year had slipped away amidst the turmoil of war. Fortunately, the main army's return march was swift enough to avoid missing the farming season.
