Chapitre 165: Me Too

"For all I know, the neighboring fortresses have already fallen," Wuyi said. His eyes narrowed, as if the subject held particular interest for him. "Whatever the case, we cannot count on any help from the outside, nor can we hope that this is an isolated incident. We have to behave as if we have an unending supply of men and materiel, and we must try to keep the road west open. We need to lure our enemy into some battles of our choosing."

He looked around at his group. "Does everyone understand?" 

He looked at the Pavilion Mistress. "We have to be ready to destroy the bridge."

She nodded. "There's a method to do it. I have it connected to the fort array. It is regularly maintained: when a certain key is turned in the gate lock, the bridge will collapse into the river."

The warriors nodded their approval.
