Brother Fa said, "These thirty thousand soldiers of yours look really impressive, not like you trained them yourself."
Such disrespect.
Ma Lin replied, "These are the elites of the Li family army, recruited and trained by Li Mu in his hometown. They are particularly hardworking and resilient. I'm starting to feel that my decision was somewhat rash and troublesome."
Brother Fa said, "I'm here, so what's there to fear? I'll take a turn around with your winter officer and figure out how to fortify this city."
Ma Lin said to Bo Xi, "Winter Officer, this Horse-Face Demon is my friend, who is especially adept at warfare. I learned many of my skills from him. Now, would you please take a few helpers and study with him how to construct defensive works?"
Bo Xi replied, "A friend of Lord Demon must be very powerful indeed."
Bo Xi knew that Ma Lin was friends with Xiao Qing and the demons of Mount Naizi, aware that each of these creatures was formidable.
