But Bruce had heard similar words too many times. Whether from the family's preserved documents or the elders' fleeting remarks, all indicated how powerful Hamlet once was.
When he was born, Hamlet had already fallen into decline. Thus, his impressions were only of his father leading Bastia's rise and suppressing the Mountain Barbarian Tribe.
Especially during this inspection tour, discovering that those Barbarian Tribes dared not move an inch in his presence made him somewhat defiant, and he almost blurted out.
"We in Bastia can do it as well!"
Upon hearing this, the Earl actually laughed, his gaze like that of someone watching a child at play.
"Currently, we are probably only one-tenth of Hamlet at its peak."
He had only heard about it before but lacked a precise understanding. When the words "one-tenth" came from his father's mouth, Bruce was visibly stunned.
Perhaps fearing he might demoralize Bruce, the Earl then waved his hand, signaling him to come to his senses.
