However, at that moment, a soldier scout rushed into the main hall from a distance, shouting excitedly from afar:

"Report... Something big, something big..."

After entering the hall, he quickly knelt down, and the King of Annam hurriedly asked:

"What is it?"

The scout knelt on the ground and nervously began to speak:

"The border defenses have been breached..."

Upon hearing this, the King of Annam was taken aback.

The border defenses have been breached? He immediately became excited, because in his view, this should be interpreted as Annamite soldiers breaking through the Ming Dynasty's border defenses.

So he was incredibly excited, but his scout kneeling on the ground was completely bewildered, clearly not expecting this to be such bad news.

Why is the king so happy?

And it wasn't just the king who was happy; the prince and the ministers around him were all overjoyed.

He was a little confused, wondering if this situation was good or bad.

Why is everyone so calm and happy instead of panicking?

So he quickly added:

"Not only has the border defense line been breached, but four or five cities have also been captured in succession."

He had assumed that after he said those words, the King of Annam and his allies would be shocked and panicked.

However, he was wrong, because the King of Annam became even more agitated after hearing his words.

He even stood up from his chair, saying with immense excitement:

"What? So brave! Not only did they break through the border defenses, but they also captured four or five cities? Great, that's wonderful."

The soldiers were dumbfounded, wondering what was so good about it. The Ming soldiers had almost conquered the entire Annam Kingdom...
