22 Ch 14.2 Victory speech (2/2)
Adney took a goblet filled with wine and walked towards the stage, he passed it to Jason . Jason caught the goblet, he turned and waved it at soldiers. They waved their mugs at him, some wine splashed on others, but no one minded it.
Jason started ” We have been together for a month now. We faced immense adversaries, forces twice larger than us together. We could call ourselves brother now, I think” a loud ' yes' reverberated the camp .
Jason added ”This would not be possible without the sacrifice of our brave men, who left us, but made the path of victory for us using their blood.”
He paused shifted his gaze from left to right, he saw many of them had tears in eyes. He continued ” lets honour the immortal spirit of these soldiers. ”
” In the name of the immortal spirits of soldiers” he raised his goblet towards them , then brought back to take a sip. Soldiers followed the prince when they recited a deafening roar came out. They took a gulp , the whole camp fell silent. Tears rolled down the faces of soldiers who lost a friend .
After a few minutes, Jason moved his goblet , silence was broken. ” Their names would never be forgotten till Arcania thrives.”
A loud cheer accompanied it.
” Let's take a sip for better recovery of our injured brothers. Without their heroic action , we would not have overcome the crisis.”
” For the recovery of our brothers” Jason waved and took a sip.
Everyone followed.
” Now it's time to honour ourselves for coming out of such a difficult situation. And we have to work for the better future of our kingdom to repay the debts of our ancestors and give a thriving kingdom to our children.”
Jason raised the goblet ” For a better future” took a gulp , finished the goblet.
Everyone cheered, Jason got down. This was the first time that such an uncommon victory speech was made. But everyone liked it more than the boring speeches going for hours. By the way, Jason was prepared to give a long speech. But he forgot and thus he had to do this.
Reached the table set for commanders . He stood next to his chair.
Everyone reached their places, they waited for the prince and commanders to sit.
” Eat and drink sumptuously” Jason took his seat. Victory feast began.
