After getting the news about their loss. The king was angry. They had spent so much on this campaign, but it was a failure. They might be able to make Martial Masters and Martial Grandmasters easily with the blood pills. But they had lost around three hundred Martial Lords in this campaign.
It was a big loss, and he was sure that the Southern Kingdom would try to investigate them with their sudden rise of power. He then tightened the security in the area to buy time as long as possible. After all, their grand plan was in the Continent Grand Tournament.
