"So what should we do? Are we just going to wait for death like lambs to the slaughter?" bemoaned Bai Jingluo, his heart brimming with despair.
"Of course not."
Bai Yian put away his sorrow, his expression becoming resolute and determined, as he looked at Bai Jingluo with a piercing gaze, "The Chu people want to treat me like a wild beast, lured into the trap they have set, to be hunted at their leisure.
Yet, though a wild beast may be dim-witted, it still possesses the courage to fight to the death.
The desperate struggle before death can also exact a heavy toll on the hunter.
I have decided that tomorrow, I shall continue to lead the army to Ruichang, where we will have our final battle with the Chu army.
They, the Chu people, seek to cut off my path home, do they not?
Then I shall let them know just how great the anger that flares when one's hope of returning home, one's route back to one's troops, is blocked.
