The next morning marked the third day of the assessment.
The atmosphere in the assessment command tent was somber and oppressive.
After simmering overnight and being subjected to detailed questioning from their respective masters, the details of yesterday's incident—where an ambush turned into a complete rout—had already spread among the masters.
