On the evening of December 24, 915, Wang Zhong signed his name on the last casualty notification and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Those who had their casualty notifications personally signed by the Front Army Commander were warriors who had performed outstandingly in battle and would be posthumously awarded medals for bravery.
That's why Wang Zhong always made a point of carefully reading the accounts of the fallen warriors before signing his name, leaving a brief personal comment between the printed document and his signature.
At first, he would shed tears while reading about these deeds, but as time went on, his eyes became dry and sore because there were so many heroic tales that he had run out of tears.
Having finally signed the last one, Wang Zhong felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders.
