For me it'simple, i'm going to defend myself. Unlike Yomi i'll fight for my castles. The Warriors of the Five Elements, with their spiffy blessings and fancy pants, are going to be spending a year digging ditches and complaining to the mess hall cook about beans to eat three meals a day. Like Yomi, we will very likely fall, unlike Yomi, we will fight with honor to the end.

From the archives of Celestial Empire Tien Chi, Spring of the Year of the Burning Goddess:
"Apparently Ulm's idea of fighting with honor to the end consists of giving up their entire large kingdom without a fight, while stuffing 450+ soldiers within the walls of their capital, outnumbering our soldiers once again. Fortunately the capital province is rich in supplies, so there is no danger of starvation for our troops, even if we wouldn't brought additional supply items last turn. Imperial troops are ready for the long siege, although we are sure it won't be necessary - preparations are being made to bring this siege to swift conclusion. The local peasants are celebrating the arrival of imperial troops. As one of the village majors told to commander of our scouts when they have entered his village meeting, as usual, no resistance: "Men who do not try to protect their own land, should never lay claim to it in the first place." Upon hearing this story our Imperial Historian noticed that although such a view is naturally barbaric, it has merit nevertheless."
