The king looked at the military advisor who had spoken. Although his words were true, the king did not want to hear any bad reports. His gaze was cold stopping the man from saying more.
"Well, even if they are not fit to fight, as long as the soldiers remain unaware of this, their morale will stay high, and they will try their best to hold on and protect their lives," the general who had reported earlier said. After all they could not argue with facts.
He had fought many wars and understood that with the right mindset, an army could defend itself more effectively. On the battlefield, hopelessness often led soldiers to give up. The news of reinforcements arriving soon would help them hold on a little longer.
Everyone felt his words were reasonable. Moreover, the northern border was far away, so there was no need to argue further about the situation. They could only wait for further reports.
