Leo Ray drained the amber champagne from his glass and took the new one Linda had already filled for him, continuing loudly, "The second toast, to the soldiers who died on the battlefield. We will inherit their unparalleled courage and perpetuate the glory they engraved with blood and fire! To the noble spirits!"
"To the noble spirits!"
Thousands of people under the stage raised their glasses in unison and drank with Leo Ray.
"The third toast, to the path ahead of us, still filled with thorns and challenges."
Leo Ray picked up the third filled goblet, his eyes shining brightly, "May we overcome all obstacles and bring the dawn of hope to every corner of this continent! To the future!"
With that, Leo Ray emptied the champagne in one sip.
"To the future!"
Following Leo Ray's hearty drinking, the tens of thousands of people under the stage drank their third toast in unison.
