All good banquets had to come to an end.
No one wanted to leave, and no one wanted to bid farewell either. Su Mo knew that this was because the villagers did not want to make today and tomorrow's atmosphere too sad.

"Greetings, Chief!"
Seeing the two militia members standing under the arch salute as they greeted him with frantic enthusiasm, Su Mo smiled and nodded.
Stepping through the arch, Su Mo walked steadily upward as the militia members watched him in admiration.
