Upon hearing this, the king of the Nava dynasty smiled and said:
"I knew this battle would end quickly, but I didn't expect it to be this fast. Just one day, right? Good, very good. It's a truly crushing victory."
And it will certainly deter the Ming Dynasty, making them realize just how powerful and formidable our soldiers are.
The general below looked bewildered, not understanding why the king had said that, so he spoke again:
"Your Majesty, we have lost..."
Upon hearing this, the king smiled and said:
"Ah, yes, it's us... Hey, what did you say?"
The general spoke again solemnly and earnestly, enunciating each word clearly:
"We...we...lost..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the king of the Ava dynasty stood up abruptly. He stared at the generals below, his eyes wide, and said:
"Say that again?"
The general, somewhat frightened, swallowed hard and said cautiously:
"Your Majesty, we lost this battle, a terrible defeat. Countless soldiers were killed or wounded. Many soldiers fled in all directions, abandoning their armor and weapons. The only ones we have gathered together are the wounded, numbering less than 20,000 to 30,000."
Upon hearing this, the king of the Ava dynasty's legs went weak, and he slumped back into his chair with a thud.
Then, his lips trembled as he said:
"This is impossible, absolutely impossible... Eighty thousand troops, a full eighty thousand troops, against a mere fifty or sixty thousand soldiers... How could they lose? How could they possibly lose? How could they possibly lose?"
The general below, looking embarrassed, said to the king:
"The Ming army is simply too powerful. I have never seen such a powerful army before, and I really dare not confront them head-on."
To this day, I don't even know how we lost; we didn't get close to them...
Divine punishment... Yes, this must be divine punishment. Because in that instant, an overwhelming, unseen barrage of weapons attacked us, with immense power and terrifying destructive force.
That is definitely not a normal weapon, nor is it a weapon that a human being should possess.
The Ava Dynasty offended the gods, and the Ming Dynasty was a divine kingdom; the Ava Dynasty was finished…
The general suddenly seemed to have gone mad. At first, he spoke quite seriously, but as he spoke, he seemed to recall something, and then it was as if he had suffered some kind of blow.
The terrifying memories and things kept swirling in his mind, and he finally couldn't take it anymore, leading to a mental breakdown.
Seeing the general of the Ava dynasty in such a frenzied state, the king angrily waved his hand and said:
"You scoundrel! You're inciting unrest and boosting the morale of your enemies! You're utterly despicable! I think you've gone mad! My Ava Dynasty will never lose! Guards, drag him out and behead him as a warning to others..."
As the general was dragged away, he was still laughing wildly, then crying, then saying earnestly:
"To oppose the gods is a dead end... The Ava Dynasty is finished, hahahaha..."
One can only imagine the devastation that war dealt to this general of the Ava dynasty.
This drove him, a general of the Ava dynasty, to madness, to the point that he viewed death as a kind of liberation.
Yes, if the memories of that terrifying battlefield linger in one's mind for the rest of one's life, the torment might be even more terrifying.
In such circumstances, death might truly be a relief.
The generals of the Ava dynasty were dragged out and beheaded.
However, the atmosphere in the court remained extremely tense, because they still could not be sure whether the Ava Dynasty had truly lost.
If they lose, how should they cope?
However, they couldn't believe they had really lost.
After all, the situation is uncertain, and the general's erratic behavior makes his words unreliable.
Thinking this, the King of the Ava Dynasty slowly spoke:
"Regardless of the circumstances, immediately send someone to find out the situation. I don't believe that my Ava Dynasty's army has lost like this, and I don't believe that it has lost in such a short time."
They only numbered fifty or sixty thousand, while I had an army of eighty thousand, an army with explosive fighting power, an army of eighty thousand…”
He spoke harshly, and many people below began to investigate the matter.
In the end, the result was that they lost.
Most of the more than 20,000 defeated soldiers who returned were either injured or in very poor mental condition, so they were practically useless.
Although they returned alive, it was as if they had died on the battlefield.
When the king of the Ava dynasty learned that the truth was indeed as the mad general had said, he was filled with despair.
It's impossible not to be afraid. Sometimes, when reality is not proportional to expectations, or even significantly inversely proportional, it means that you will suffer the biggest blow.
At this moment, the King of the Ava Dynasty was at a loss, and could only look to the officials below for help.
The 80,000 soldiers that the Ava Kingdom was so proud of have been destroyed. What should be done now?
