When the news of Monkulus's great victory arrived, the entire Kush Territory was engulfed in a joyful atmosphere.
Truth Chief Madlan arranged for several carriages to post announcements and awards along the villages on the roads.
From a bird's eye view, almost every Hundred Households District had someone literate reading out the list by the announcement board.
With each name called, a monk's family member proudly stood up and patted their chest toward the surrounding villagers, saying "My son/brother/grandson!"
For the countryside, where information was closed off, this was the first time they could receive news so quickly, a novel experience indeed.
In contrast, in the Empire, for some lords' subjects, they wouldn't know when a war began nor when it ended.
They wouldn't even know why they were killed by invading enemies.
Compared to the idle chatter in the countryside, the atmosphere in the city was even more enthusiastic.
