Re: Chapter 4 - Tidings of War
"We are discussing plans to defend the southern walls of Toshi Ranbo in our upcoming engagement with our honorable cousins the lion," Aki replies. After a short pause, "They have presented us with a great puzzle, how does one defend himself from a foe who attacks with four times the forces you have to defend."
Aki looks around the room and lets his eyes settle on the elder crane present, "Sencei, did not Akodo-kami state that any force attacking a defended position like a castle should have three times the men as the defenders." allowing his gaze to shift to the Seppun, "You see how the Lion honor us in their attack. They count three of our warriors as four."
Aki lets the statement hang in the air. Perhaps this Imperial can leave the city and speak with the lion. It may be to our advantage to let them know we are waiting for them.
