Chiliarch Yang spat out hatefully, "You don't have to reason with me here! The battle hasn't even started, and the commander has already died. Our morale has also decreased by more than half. Let's see how you can continue this battle!"
Qin Silong regarded Chiliarch Yang with a playful expression, countering, "Do you truly believe this battle can't proceed without Deputy General Lin? Are you attempting to spread the notion that the war is now unwinnable? Is it your goal to sow fear and shatter our morale right on the battlefield?"
With each accusation, Chiliarch Yang's tone softened, "I don't mean that. I'm just reminding you. How are you going to answer to the higher-ups when Deputy General Lin is dead?"
Chiliarch Yang subtly hinted that Qin Silong needed a scapegoat, and he had conveniently found one – himself.
