The defeat of the Three-eyed Ape People sent shockwaves through the entire Royal City.
In the raucous Palace, King Anuket sat atop the throne, glaring intently at General Bek in front of him.
"Damn it, damn it!"
General Bek and the other generals knelt before the throne, shaking violently as King Anuket's rage poured down on the hall.
Within the Palace, the Ministers were either anxious, resentful, mournful, or panicked. They said nothing, their gazes shifting between the King and the generals.
King Anuket stared hard at the generals, his hands shaking wildly.
An entire army of thirty thousand!
Over thirty thousand Nobles and free citizens had faced such a humiliating defeat, with many dead or injured.
King Anuket surveyed the Ministers around him, realizing he must execute those three generals quickly, chopping through the chaos to seize the initiative.
After all, he was also responsible for this failure.
