Everyone inside the command tent looked at Marquise Marco in utmost horror while wondering what he would do next. His face had already turned pale and his body was still trembling, so many expected him to break down and beg for mercy.
However, the very next moment, something happened that no one had expected.
"Hahahahaha!"
Marquise Marco suddenly burst into loud laughter.
The wild laughter echoed throughout the entire tent and startled everyone present.
"Hahaha!"
"So it has finally come to this."
He slowly shook his head while wiping away tears that had gathered in the corners of his eyes. Instead of fear, a strange expression of pity appeared on his face as he looked around at every noble standing before him.
"You all don't know where you are heading."
His voice carried a strange calmness.
"This Empire is doomed."
