This left the Northern Soldiers, who had taken the city walls with such effortless ease, feeling somewhat baffled by their victory.
But a win was a win, and that was worth celebrating. They cheered and jumped for joy, quickly cutting down the Southern Territory's banner from the top of the walls and replacing it with the Northern Territory's "Eagle-Clutching Sword" flag.
This was the sigil of the Martel Family, and it also symbolized that Kolon had now fallen firmly under Fulina's control.
After more than half a year of preparation, they had finally achieved their strategic objective and broken into the capital of the Southern Territory. The Northern Expedition Army even held a city-entry ceremony.
An honor guard in leather shoes, red formal attire, and feathered hats formed neat ranks at the front, blowing horns and beating drums. The army followed behind, marching joyfully into Kolon.
