Even though they didn't understand, the Dwarven children knew these cars with sharp edges looked more handsome and formidable. So they stood across the street, timidly watching, too afraid to approach easily.
At such times, the Tang Army Soldiers knew exactly what they needed to do: It's their glorious tradition, a story often reminisced by their predecessors.
A Tang Army soldier standing guard beside the truck exchanged a glance with his comrade, then pulled chocolate from the ration pack out of his pocket, walked across the street, and approached a few brave children who didn't run away.
He flashed a bright smile, dazzling the Dwarven kids so much they could hardly keep their eyes open. Years later, those children could still recall that moment, remembering the soldier's sparkling white teeth and friendly smile.
"This is for you. Tear off the wrapper, it's candy inside, very sweet." The young Tang Army soldier opened his palm and handed the chocolate to the children.
