When Azure Star was still exhilarated by the victory of the 'Chessboard Campaign,' the news of triumph in the 'Mountain Campaign' was like a bucket of cold water poured into an already smoking hot oil pan.
The cheers erupted to a feverish, explosive level, hotter than the brilliant fireworks lighting up the sky.
"General Ji Xinghe will surely lead us to the summit of the Mountain of Gods!"
Someone shouted loudly in a bar, raising his beer glass, which was originally full; the beer was now reduced to mere froth as he waved his arm uncontrollably.
Although the victory in the 'Mountain Campaign' didn't mean the Federation had successfully reached the top of the Mountain of Gods, people firmly believed the day they would ascend the mountain was drawing closer.
