The hall echoed with Cleobrotas's joyful laughter, contrasting with the surrounding silence.
After a moment, Budocaribas asked shakily and urgently, "Did Nick's... Nick's army really defeat... the Pannonian army?!"
"Of course it's true! This concerns the life and death of the tribe; how could I joke about such a thing!" Cleobrotas replied sternly, "The scout is right outside the house, you can call him in and ask for details."
No sooner had he finished speaking than several leaders rushed out.
"The Pannonian army consists of tens of thousands; they couldn't have engaged in a full-scale battle with the Nix so quickly. It must have been a minor skirmish between the vanguards, and the Nix gained a small victory, right?" Ambrosius questioned, "Such a victory can't change our current dire situation."
