It was far more than a simple defeat.
In ancient Hua Country, it was customary for masters to duel before their armies clashed. What was the purpose of this?
Naturally, it was for momentum.
The victor's side, while not guaranteed to be invincible, would absolutely experience a surge in morale.
But for the Human Race, which had not even officially gone to war with the Moon Clan, to have their Crown Prince captured was a monumental disgrace.
"We thought the Crown Prince had fled the battle, but it turns out…"
The Elders, like Mou Yuan, were overwhelmed with regret. Had they known this would happen, they would not have left early; they would have risked their lives to rescue the Crown Prince. Otherwise, they would not have been forced into such a passive position.
"I fear they've already set an inescapable trap. Attempting a rescue now would be suicide."
Lin Xuzhi narrowed his eyes. "The only plan now is to capture Tan Chang and use him to exchange for the Crown Prince!"
