"What?" Xia Jia abruptly shot up from his seat when he heard this. "No one should be able to cross the Devil River. How could they have been annihilated?"
Although he wanted to believe it was because of a communication error, he quickly dismissed that notion. There are strict rules that if there were communication issues, they would be directly beheaded indiscriminately. Even if there were errors, they could have sent a soldier to inform them.
So, that leaves only one option: they were annihilated!
His body started to shake when he thought of this, and his aura leaked, causing the table to creak and a terrifying pressure to descend on all the people there.
The man who delivered the news shook his head, even under the heavy pressure.
"Remain calm, Xia Jia. It was your young brother defending the fortress, but we can investigate what happened after the war…"
Xia Jia finally retracted his aura as he fell into a strange silence, becoming silent.
