[But no matter what, I must learn it. How can I lose to the barbarians!] As soon as a hint of wavering appeared in his heart, Gan Ning immediately strengthened his resolve. He couldn't give up halfway on his mission; losing once was acceptable, but failing to correct his mistakes was not!
Then, Gan Ning continued to observe the Parthian Navy's training, hoping to learn something he could use. However, the more he studied, the more he felt the necessity of language. If he could communicate, Gan Ning believed he could learn much more.
[It's a pity that Gan Bao also died in battle, otherwise there would be someone to communicate with.] Gan Ning had excellent hearing, but understanding what he heard was another matter, and this left him feeling helpless.
[I need to figure out a way. At this rate, there are too many things I can't learn.] Gan Ning thought somewhat wearily. [How did those Kushan people talk directly to me before? What should I do?]
