Xiphil raised his cup of water and said with a chuckle, "Alcohol is not permitted in the military camp, so today, I replace wine with water to apologize for the offense our Tiger Army of Light has caused to the elder." Nearly all the senior officers of the Tiger Army of Light, including Siri, the Mage Group leader who seldom interacted with the military, stood up and raised their cups in unison.
Ah Dai quickly stood up as well and said awkwardly, "I understand you all have your difficulties; how can I blame you?"
The senior officers of the Tiger Army of Light held nothing back in their lavish praise of Ah Dai's formidable strength, and a banquet in his honor lasted two joyous hours before it came to an end.
