While Zhou Jing was traveling, the news of the outlaws' victory and the defeat at the front line was finally sent to the capital.
After learning that the Heavenly King Stronghold had suffered a huge defeat and was almost completely wiped out, a huge commotion broke out in the capital. The entire court was shocked.
On this day, the court officials discussed intensely and attacked Lu Longchuan for being incompetent in leading the troops.
"Lu Longchuan's talent is mediocre and extremely useless. He actually lost so easily. Bandits are indeed bandits. He's really useless!"
"If I had known earlier, I would have taken over this person's military power and sent a general of the Imperial Court to lead the troops. It would have been over in one battle!"
The court officials were agitated and criticized wantonly. Their tone was furious, and all of them were so excited that they wished they could go to battle personally.
