Inside the military camp, the soldiers took their seats at the long dining tables.
Their faces showed a sense of honor, and they were filled with anticipation for the dinner to come.
The reason was very simple.
The current meal had been personally prepared by Xiao Tianyang.
Though he had not handled every step himself, as the head chef, Xiao Tianyang had undoubtedly been heavily involved.
