The Brass Fortress at night had become a paradise of merriment, with every tavern, every casino, and every place of entertainment in the city crowded with rowdy soldiers.
They were carrying their freshly earned rewards, with reddened eyes shouting to drink the most joyous beverages and gamble extravagantly at the tables.
They did so without any psychological burden, because it was their well-deserved right.
They had shed blood and faced death for the survival of this city, so naturally they deserved to enjoy the glory and relaxation at this joyous celebration.
The precious wealth earned through risking their lives should be used properly, ensuring it does not betray the hardships and efforts invested in earning it and rewarding themselves with the achievement of honorary victory.
Money cannot buy everything, but it can eliminate most troubles, which is the true meaning of wealth.
