And I'm pretty sure Qin Shi Huang's aware that the whole Operation Wall Drop thing failed. [k] @Jing Ke It's no stretch to imagine Akuta and Xiang Yu being sent back to finish the job, only[line 2] [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFace C 4] [charaFadein B 0.1 2] [charaFadein C 0.1 0] @Mordred Only they've gotta be guarding the Border now,[sr]seeing as that's the enemy's top priority. [k] [charaFace C 0] @Jing Ke Right. I don't see dropping chunks off of the Great Wall as something that gets done often or in rapid succession. [k] @Jing Ke I'm sure Qin Shi Huang doesn't want to damage the[sr]land any more than strictly necessary. [k] @Jing Ke That said...if we stay in one place too long, I'm sure the emperor will try it again, so we need to keep moving. [k] [charaFace B 5] @Mordred And you wanna take the villagers here with us? [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Nezha That would. Put them. In the cross fire.[sr]Of our battle. Too dangerous.

[k] [charaFace C 3] @Jing Ke You think? Well, if you need my help that badly,[sr]I guess I'd better step up, huh? [k] [charaFace C 0] @Jing Ke ...Our biggest problem is how Qin Shi Huang can keep tabs on us from the Great Wall. How many of Da Vinci's Bounded Field devices do we have? [k] [charaFace A 0] @Mash She gave Senpai and me one each,[sr]and we also have a single backup unit. [k] @Jing Ke Then we should split up in three directions. [k] @Jing Ke The main group will go after the Shadow Border, and the other two will take the villagers somewhere safe. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 5] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Mordred Is there anywhere safe, seeing how Emperor[sr]Douchebag is lookin' straight down at us? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Jing Ke Fortunately, that the emperor can only look straight down may be our saving grace. [k] @Jing Ke All that is needed to avoid such a gaze is something overhead, like a cave or a forest thick with foliage. [k] @Jing Ke We won't know how well the camouflage devices work until we give them a shot. [k] @Jing Ke And of course, if Qin Shi Huang loses sight of us, then I expect someone will come searching at ground level. [k] @Jing Ke So we can expect the nearby areas to be crawling with those mechanical soldiers. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 5] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Mordred Then we'll have to kick the shit outta them every time. But how're we gonna keep a low profile if we do that? This land ain't exactly the best for hiding either. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Jing Ke Which is why each group will need a skilled fighter, since there will be no getting around the fact that we will all run into patrols at some point.
