Origin Story
战国时期，战火纷飞，各国之间为了争夺地盘和资源，经常发生战争。有一支军队，他们在一次征战中取得了胜利，便决定在当地安营扎寨，准备休整一段时间，然后再继续进攻。将军命令士兵们尽快建好营寨，以便安顿好军队。士兵们争先恐后地忙碌着，很快一座坚固的营寨就建好了。军队在营寨里休整了几天，士兵们恢复了体力，士气也更加高昂。他们准备再次出发，继续征战。将军召集所有将士，对他们说：“我们这次取得了胜利，但我们不能骄傲自满，要时刻准备着迎接新的挑战！我们要继续努力，争取更大的胜利！”将士们齐声高呼：“誓死效忠将军！”,
During the Warring States period, wars raged frequently between the various states as they fought for territory and resources. One army, after winning a battle, decided to set up camp in the area to rest for a while before continuing their advance. The general ordered the soldiers to build a camp as quickly as possible so they could settle the army. The soldiers worked hard and soon a solid camp was built. The army rested in the camp for a few days, and the soldiers recovered their strength and morale increased. They were ready to set out again and continue fighting. The general gathered all the soldiers together and said to them: “We have won this time, but we must not be complacent, we must always be ready to face new challenges! We must continue to work hard and strive for greater victories!” The soldiers shouted in unison: “We swear to be loyal to the general until death!”,
