Outsiders simply could not understand Xu Kun's final order.
Especially after word spread that "the Huang Lord had buried alive the last fewer-than-ten-million surrendered Tortoise Army soldiers," even Black Tortoise Race higher-ups such as the Eight Wise Kings fell into prolonged silence and profound confusion.
