Joseph Cooper was sitting cross-legged inside the camp tent, his gaze fell on his trusted follower and he said: "Has the army recovered its combat strength?"
"Reporting to the Marshal, the 220,000 generals and soldiers of our clan that were sent back this time did not suffer mistreatment from the opposing side. After coming back, they just need to rest for a day to fully recover. I have already integrated them into the various armies, and they are ready to fight!"
Joseph Cooper frowned and said, "Strange, is the opposing general a fool?"
"Does the Marshal suspect a trap?"
Nodding and then shaking his head, Joseph Cooper said, "That's the perplexing part. In a normal situation, they would have some tricks regarding the exchange. At the very least, they should cut off the thumbs to prevent them from wielding weapons again, yet the 220,000 they sent back have no such issues."
"Is that why the Marshal didn't cut off the thumbs of your captives?"
