"The Orientals have been defending their strongholds for a long time now. They've been rebuilding the walls of their strongholds one by one with [wall construction], so the area of their strongholds is getting bigger and bigger. Well, I think we'll be okay as long as we focus on defense for now. We are taking care of the supply from the river, so we don't have to worry about food.
