1. Our recent battles have won nearly all of the Kingdom's central and western lords to our side.
  2. Those who chose not to bend the knee are making [cdb]their last stand in that castle.
  3. They are weary men unable to keep pace with the [cdb]times, and now we can be rid of them all in but a [cdb]single stroke.
  4. They had plenty of chances to surrender and chose [cdb]not to avail themselves thus.
  5. Show no mercy. If they wish to cling to the past, [cdb]let them die in its embrace.
  6. I wish they'd consider all the poor souls they're [cdb]forcing to perish along with them.
  7. Sure, but I fully understand why they'd want to [cdb]hole up in a castle. That's my go-to move!
  8. They are beneath a siege, not "holed up." The difference is unequivocal.
  9. Sorry, what?
  10. Unequivocal. It is a new word I have been learning. Its meaning is clear and unambiguous, yes?
  11. Again, what?
  12. Look, the way I see it, we just need to bust through [cdb]the gates and pummel the stuffing out of them.
  13. It unfortunately is not that simple. Most of the Kingdom's castles are specifically designed to [cdb]withstand a siege.
  14. Our only option is to chip away at them slowly from [cdb]the surrounding forts.
  15. I agree there is no place for mercy on the battlefield.
  16. If the enemy desires a fight, we will rend them [cdb]asunder and leave their bones on the midden heap.
  17. We need to move carefully—a cornered foe is capable [cdb]of anything.
  18. Boast how this will be an easy win.
  19. Advise caution.
  20. Remain silent.
  21. Oh c'mon, we'll have these nobodies cleared out [cdb]before dinner.
  22. Oh c'mon, we'll have these nobodies cleared out [cdb]before dinner.
  23. I hope you're ready to back that boast with action.
  24. I vote we play it safe. We didn't come all this way just [cdb]to die so close to our goal.
  25. I vote we play it safe. We didn't come all this way just [cdb]to die so close to our goal.
  26. That's right. There's no need to rush when victory is [cdb]all but assured.
  27. ...
  28. ...
  29. Nothing to add? Very well.
  30. It's time. All units to positions. Prepare to attack!
