Duryodhan was sure that since Arjun and Krishna are not present, pandav army will be destroyed by chakravyuha in no time. And they had put Jayadrath on the front of vyuha who is inevitable by four pandavs except Arjun. And if those four get defeated no other warriors have that ability to come near the vyuha. So victory will be acquired by kauravs before Arjun returns.
"Mitra Karna, today is going to be last day of war, we will make those vile pandavas surrender on our feet" Duryodhan laughed out loud, hearing the news of Jayadrath defeating four of pandavs. mamashree Shakuni, Duhshasan and Aswathama joined him.
"I wish that happen mitra, then no blood shade we have to see anymore, won't have to bear pain of losing sons,brothers and dear once further." Karna says calmly. Duryodhan put hand on his friend's shoulder, he can feel his friend's pain, Karna has already lost his dear brother Shon and son Dwipa in hand of Arjun. Not only that Karna's wife Supriya couldn't bear the pain of losing her only son and succumbed to death by consuming poison. She was dear friend of Bhanumati, so Duryodhan too was saddened by this mishap.
"ofcourse mitra, none has to lose life anymore. Those pandavas will serve us as slaves and we will rule over Aryavart" Duryodhan stated.
"peace and harmony will prevail again." added Aswathama. Dronacharya smiled sarcastically in the comments. Karna knows the reason, aacharya knows its only a day dream. And he proved right from the chaos from kaurava army in very next moment.
"yuvraj our chakravyuha has been broken" a soldier carried the news running.
"how is that possible? has Arjun come back so early?" asked horrified Duryodhan , he couldn't believe his ears.
"no yuvraj, his son Kumar Abhimanyu, he is massacring our army" wounded soldier fell from horse.
Karna closed his eyes. That's what he was dreading since he entered into Kurukshetra. The moment of face off with his nephew is near. He has already heard about Abhimanyu's valour, how he didn't retreat even in front Grandsire's arrows. That day although king Virat and Satyaki came to protect him but Abhimanyu stood still even after getting pierced by pitamaha's arrow, he succeeded to build equally strong resistance that awestrucked grandsire. In last two days since he participated in war he didn't get chance to fight with Abhimanyu and thanked his fate for sparing him from giving the last gift to his nephew. But today it seems that the moment is going to be inevitable. Karna heard about two of Arjun's sons had got killed. He felt bad that Iravan was victim of Alambush raksas's trick and Rochanagarbha was too young to die. But then he himself had lost his son, brother, wife, many Kaurava brothers and sons and allies got killed too. He doesn't know for how much times seven sons of Vrishali including his dearest Vrishasena will survive. But Abhimanyu is different from all. So Karna became ready for the ultimate moment with a deep breath.
