"How can I do that? Big brother, we swore to be in it together, regardless of happiness or suffering. I am not leaving! If we have to die, we will die together," second-in-charge said.
"Who said anything about dying?" first-in-charge chided and continued in a gentle tone, "This time, I am afraid that we could not defend this place. No matter how strong the Dragon-breaking Stone is, it cannot withstand the attack of artillery. Plus, Peng Wu, the little traitor, knew where the secret passageway is. If we do not evacuate immediately, we would be blocked and killed. None of us would be able to escape.

First-in-charge sighed. "It is hard to fathom a person’s mind."
