The Dragon King returned with only Liman and Han Fen behind him. There was not a single soldier of the Naihang Tribe, nor any distant sound of clapping horse hoofs.
Disappointment could be clearly seen on the faces of the soldiers. They were not cowards, but they felt that they suffered a heavy loss. They had been expecting the 100,000 cavalrymen of the Naihang Tribe to show up, but their absence was foreboding.
"200,000!" a veteran yelled loudly.
Gu Shenwei reined his horse back.
"Luoluo has 200,000 men and they'll be here in seven or eight days," the veteran explained. During the Dragon King's absence, the news had become more accurate and detailed as more information came in.
"What should we do?" the soldiers asked all at once. They had heard that the counselor and the young king had convinced all the generals to fight, and now, everybody was waiting for the Dragon King's decision.
