Dusk slowly descended.
Outside Horn Fort, on the boundless wilderness, Lion Kingdom soldiers squatting in the trench were nibbling on dry food when they suddenly spotted a white flag raised over a distant fort.
At first, the soldiers thought they had seen it wrong.
It was only when they noticed that the opposing position was deserted that more and more people started to realize what was happening.
An old soldier immediately stuffed his half-eaten dry ration into his pocket and ran to the back of the trench to report to the Centurion.
"Report! Horn Fort has raised a white flag."
"A white flag?!"
Startled by the news, the Centurion immediately grabbed a telescope and ran to the frontline to verify it himself and indeed found the white flag.
Unsure whether it was a trap set by the Army, the Centurion dared not delay and immediately reported the news to his superiors.
Thus, after successive reports, the message was quickly relayed to the Skeleton Corps.
