"I think this is actually a solution," one of them said.
"That's complete nonsense!" another countered. "We're not even mentioning Henki's massive personal strength, let alone the fact that not even three elite Imperial City Imperial Guard warriors can match him. Henki's not exactly bright in the head; he killed an Imperial Guard soldier right in front of the Emperor! If your attack fails and you sacrifice a few men, you're just handing the La Sang Family a handle to use against us!"
"Well, what do you suggest? Speak up if you have any better ideas!"
"I haven't thought of a good solution, but I would never casually offer up a bad one!"
"You're an idiot!"
"Enough!"
The Great Elder roared, and all the Elders fell silent again.
"I have a suggestion, let's hear what you Elders think,"
the Great Elder said in a deep voice.
"I think we should return this part of the Greatsword's tip to the La Sang Family."
